years from the purchase date to the original owner only (see proration below) and on the water jacket for a period of 10 years from the purchase
date to the original owner only (see proration below). If there is a leak in your properly delivered, installed and maintained Nature's Comfort boiler,
we will cover repair costs for the first 5 years and prorated after that (see below). Repair can be denied if the unit's water jacket has exceeded 220
degrees. The aquastat must be set so the water jacket temperature never falls below 150F otherwise condensation will be created on the inside of
the firebox and will cause corrosion that is not covered under warranty.
This warranty is limited to defective parts and excludes any incidental and consequential damages connected therewith. Nature's Comfort does not
warranty damage or malfunction to any interior portion of the boiler caused by ash corrosion or allowing the unit to overheat. All interior portions
(especially corners) must have the ash stirred daily to prevent caking and be completely cleaned out of all ashes and creosote a minimum of 2
times per year, half way through the heating season and at the end of heating season (the NCB-80 must be completely cleaned of all ash bi-
weekly). The chimney must be covered or have a rain cap when the boiler is not in use. Caulk around chimney and float stack must be inspected
frequently and re-sealed if necessary. Caulk sealant and rope gaskets are not covered under this warranty. Damage caused by abuse, neglect,
accidents, improper installation, customer or dealer modification, overheating and/or freezing will not be covered under warranty. Damage caused
by burning flammable materials (i.e. petroleum products), wet (green) wood or anything other than dry coal or dry, seasoned cordwood will not be
covered under warranty. Nature's Comfort does not warranty boilers against environmental conditions out of its control. Nature's Comfort does not
warranty or guarantee against your area's governing laws or changes in your area's governing laws that will affect the use or non-use of the unit.
Nature's Comfort is not responsible for replacement of water, water treatment, antifreeze and glycol, costs of transportation or shipping charges. On
sight non-warranty parts and labor will be provided at the discretion of your dealer. Please contact your dealer for their current non-warranty rates.
Labor is not covered for repairing or replacing electrical or other components not a part of the welded assembly that is under warranty.
Nature's Comfort's wood boilers are not meant to be your sole source of heat. It is the responsibility of the owner to have a backup system in place.
If you do not have a backup source of heat you are at risk of damage due to lack of heat. Nature's Comfort will not warranty or be responsible for
any damage caused by lack of heat at your premises or for any cost incurred from using a backup heat system in the event of a boiler failure.
There is no written or implied performance warranty on the boiler as Nature's Comfort has no control over the installation, structure insulation,
maintenance, daily operation and heating demand on a unit or what is burned in the boiler. Nature's Comfort will not cover or be held responsible
for any cost of wood or coal burned in excess of what is expected or considered normal as installation, fuel being used, structure size and insulation
conditions are out of its control.
Treatment & Testing
Your boiler must have "Nature's Comfort Boiler Treatment" added during initial filling with water, antifreeze or glycol and a water sample must be
submitted for nitrite testing when first filled and then annually at the end of a heating season to ensure proper nitrite concentration (1,000-
1,500ppm) for your warranty to remain valid. The water jacket must remain full of properly treated water at all times after installation save for
draining, flushing and re-treating. Minimum recommended initial mix ratios for each boiler is (an officially approved nitrite test must still be
performed after treating): NCB120 - 1.5Qt; NCB175 - 1.5Qts; NCB250 - 2Qts; NCB325(G) - 3Qts, NCB-575 - 6Qts, GT-6000 -2Qts. Contact
Nature's Comfort or your dealer to obtain water treatment. You must have your water tested for nitrites by your dealer or Nature's Comfort ($10).
Always request results to be sent to you and you must keep them on file to show proof of treatment and testing if warranty work is ever needed.
Testing done by anyone other than a dealer, a certified lab or Nature's Comfort will not be accepted for warranty claims but is encouraged for
monitoring treatment levels to obtain the maximum life out of a Nature's Comfort boiler, particularly if water is being added throughout a heating
season (this is a result of improper operation or installation). Drain, flush, re-fill and re-treat if water is ever not crystal clear. Treatment and nitrite
test kits are available from your dealer or Nature's Comfort.
