18

Congratulations on purchasing your new HVAC equipment. It’s been 

designed for long life and reliable service, and is backed by one of the 

strongest warranties in the industry. Your unit automatically qualifies for 

the warranty coverage listed below, providing you keep your proof of 

purchase (receipt) for the equipment and meet the warranty conditions.
LIMITED ONE (1) YEAR EXPRESS WARRANTY

MARS warrants all parts of the SVH Series Ductless Mini-Split to be free from 

defects in workmanship and materials for normal use and maintenance for one 

(1) year from the date of purchase by the original consumer for the original 

installation. This Express Limited Warranty applies only when the Ductless 

Mini-Split is installed as a complete matched system: outdoor unit and indoor 

unit, and only when the system is installed per MARS installation instructions 

and in accordance with all local, state and national codes for normal use.

LIMITED 2nd to 5th YEAR EXPRESS WARRANTY

The compressor only is warranted to be free from defects in workmanship 

and materials for normal use and maintenance for four additional years, for a 

total of five (5) years from the date of purchase by the original consumer for 

the original installation. This Express Limited Warranty applies only when the 

Ductless Mini-Split is installed as a complete matched system: outdoor unit 

and indoor unit, and only when the system is installed per MARS installation 

instructions and in accordance with all local, state and national codes for 

normal use.

EXCEPTIONS

The Limited Express Warranty does not cover normal maintenance—MARS 

recommends that regular inspection/maintenance be performed at least once 

a season and proof of maintenance be kept. Additionally, labor charges, 

transportation charges for replacement parts, replacement of refrigerant or 

filters, any other service calls/repairs are not covered by this Limited Warranty. 

It also does not cover any portion or component of the system that is not 

supplied by MARS, regardless of the cause of failure of such portion or 

component.

CONDITIONS FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE

•  Unit must be operated according to MARS operating instructions included 

with the unit and cannot have been subjected to accident, alteration, 

improper repair, neglect or misuse, or an act of God (such as a flood)

•  Installation was done by a trained, licensed or otherwise qualified HVAC 

dealer/contractor

•  Performance cannot be impaired by use of any product not authorized by 

MARS, or by any adjustments or adaptations to components

•  Serial numbers and/or rating plate have not been altered or removed
•  Damage has not been a result of inadequate wiring or voltage conditions, 

use during brown-out conditions, or circuit interruptions

•  Air flow around any section of the unit has not been restricted
•  Unit remains in the original installation
•  Unit was not purchased over the internet

DURATION OF WARRANTY & REGISTRATION

The warranty begins on the date of purchase by the original consumer.        

The consumer must retain a receipted bill of sale as proof of  warranty    

period. Without this proof, the express warranty begins on the date of 

shipment from the factory

.

REMEDY PROVIDED BY THE LIMITED EXPRESS WARRANTY

The sole remedy under the Limited Warranty is replacement of the defective 

part. If replacement parts are required within the period of this warranty, 

MARS replacement parts shall be used; any warranty on the replacement 

part(s) shall not affect the applicable original unit warranty. Ready access 

to the unit for service is the owner’s responsibility. Labor to diagnose and 

replace the defective part is not covered by this Limited Express Warranty. 

If for any reason the replacement part/product is no longer available during 

the warranty period, MARS shall have the right to allow a credit in the 

amount of the current suggested retail price of the part/product instead of 

providing repair or replacement. 

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

1.  There are no other express or implied warranties. MARS makes no 

warranty of merchantability. We do not warrant that the unit is suitable 

for any particular purpose or can be used in buildings or rooms of 

any particular size or condition except as specifically provided in this 

document. There are no other warranties, express or implied, which 

extend beyond the description in this document. 

2.  All warranties implied by law are limited in duration to the five-

year term of the parts warranty. Your exclusive remedy is limited to 

the replacement of defective parts. 

We will not be liable for any 

consequential or incidental damages caused by any defect in this 

unit. 

3.  This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have 

other rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow 

limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or do not allow the 

exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the 

above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

4.  No warranties are made for units sold outside the continental United 

States and Canada. Your distributor or final seller may provide a 

warranty on units sold outside these areas.

5.  MARS will not be liable for damages if our performance regarding 

warranty resolution is delayed by events beyond our control including 

accident, alteration, abuse, war, government restrictions, strikes, fire, 

flood, or other acts of God.

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE OR PARTS

If you have a warranty claim, notify your installer promptly. If the installer 

does not remedy your claim, write to MARS, 1900 Wellworth Ave., Jackson 

MI 49203. Enclose a report of inspection by your installer or service person. 

Include model number, serial number, and date of purchase.

Owner responsibilities are set forth in the 

instruction manual—read it carefully.
