Rental

Our rental program allows customers to easily use our home health appliances through monthly rental fees spread across multiple contract lengths. Included in this monthly fee are filter replacements and maintenance services (Heart Service):
  • Throughout the rental period, our servicing technicians replace filters at industry recommended intervals, ensuring the effectiveness of our products for our customer’s health and safety.
  • Any necessary maintenance is included in the rental contract and will be promptly carried out by Coway’s expert technicians. (Damages due to customer negligence will be excluded from coverage.)
  • Appliances hygienically cleaned at every maintenance and filter replacement. Monthly fee is determined by the contract period (3, 5 and 6 years). Providing a SSN and payments via ACH direct debit are required for rental agreements.Upon completion of a contract(5, 6 years only), customers can re-rent the same or a different product at a discounted rate.
