**Any water heater used for other than a single family housing unit will be covered for three years on tank and one year on parts regardless of any other warranty period specified. All replacement water heaters and parts carry the balance of the original warranty, i.e. if an original ten (10) year warranted water heater develops a leak due to defects in materials/workmanship after nine (9) years, the replacement unit is warranted for the balance remaining on the original ten (10) year warranty, or one (1) year in this example.

WHAT IS THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE?

This limited warranty is effective 60 days from the date of manufacture as determined by the serial number. To determine length of coverage, check model number against the following chart. Model number and serial number are found on the rating plate affixed to the water heater.

WHAT WILL WE DO TO CORRECT PROBLEM?

If a defect occurs within the warranty period, we will:

2. Provide a replacement part (or at our option repair) any part which fails to function within the parts warranty period. To obtain the replacement, you must turn in the defective part. We do reserve the right to verify any claims of defect by inspection.

1. Repair or replace any water heater, or part, subject to conditions outlined in “What Does This Limited Warranty Not Cover?”

2. Reimburse any costs associated with repair and/or replacement.
