Warranty

One-Year Warranty - This Product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship.  
If it appears within one year from the date of original installation, whether or not actual use begins 
on that date, that the product does not meet this warranty, a new or remanufactured part, at the 
manufacturer’s sole option to replace any defective part, will be provided without charge for the part 
itself provided the defective part is returned to the distributor through a qualified servicing dealer. 

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR OR OTHER COSTS incurred for diagnosing, repairing, 
removing, installing, shipping, servicing or handling of either defective parts or replacement parts.  
Such costs may be covered by a separate warranty provided by the installer.  

THIS WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO PRODUCTS IN THEIR ORIGINAL INSTALLATION LOCATION AND 
BECOMES VOID UPON REINSTALLATION.

LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES – ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES 
OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND MERCHANTABILITY) ARE HEREBY LIMITED IN 
DURATION TO THE PERIOD FOR WHICH THE LIMITED WARRANTY IS GIVEN.  SOME STATES DO NOT 
ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT 
APPLY TO YOU.  THE EXPRESSED WARRANTIES MADE IN THIS WARRANTY ARE EXCLUSIVE AND 
MAY NOT BE ALTERED, ENLARGED, OR CHANGED BY ANY DISTRIBUTOR, DEALER, OR OTHER 
PERSON WHATSOEVER.

ALL WORK UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANTY SHALL BE PERFORMED DURING NORMAL 
WORKING HOURS.  ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS, WHETHER NEW OR REMANUFACTURED, ASSUME 
AS THEIR WARRANTY PERIOD ONLY THE REMAINING TIME PERIOD OF THIS WARRANTY.

THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:

1. Normal maintenance as outlined in the installation and servicing instructions or owner’s manual, 

including filter cleaning and/or replacement and lubrication.

2. Damage or repairs required as a consequence of faulty installation, misapplication, abuse, 

improper servicing, unauthorized alteration or improper operation.

3. Failure to start due to voltage conditions, blown fuses, open circuit breakers or other damages 

due to the inadequacy or interruption of electrical service.

4. Damage as a result of floods, winds, fires, lightning, accidents, corrosive environments or other 

conditions beyond the control of the Manufacturer.

5. Parts not supplied or designated by the Manufacturer, or damages resulting from their use. 

6. Manufacturer products installed outside the continental U.S.A., Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada.

7.  Electricity or fuel costs or increases in electricity or fuel costs for any reason whatsoever 

including additional or unusual use of supplemental electric heat.

8. ANY SPECIAL INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL PROPERTY OR COMMERCIAL DAMAGE OF ANY 

NATURE WHATSOEVER.  Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential 
damages, so the above may not apply to you. 

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which may vary 
from state to state.
