HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE ASSISTANCE 

Vaughn Thermal Corporation  does not have a service department 
or personnel to service your heater in the field. A qualified installer 
or service technician must do all service work. Therefore, if you 
have any questions about your new water heater concerning 
service adjustment, repair, routine maintenance, or replacement - 

first contact your installer, plumbing contractor or service 
agency.

 

 
In the event that the contractor, for whatever reason, is unable to help, 
refer to the telephone directory commercial listings for qualified service 
assistance. 
 
If neither action has solved your problem, please have your plumbing 
contractor contact us for assistance.
