First, determine if your water heater is “in-warranty” (that is, within the Applicable Warranty Period). You can determine your unit’s warranty status by obtaining the complete model number, the complete serial number, and the date of original installation of your water heater by contacting Water Heater Innovations Water Heaters’ Warranty Department (telephone (000) 000-0000) during normal business hours (Central Time USA) to determine if the Applicable Warranty Period has expired. If your water heater is “in-warranty”, contact the plumber, or mechanical contractor, that installed it for assistance with the warranty repairs, or replacement, required. You may also select a plumber, or mechanical contractor, from your local Yellow Pages to assist you. Water Heater Innovations Technical Service personnel are available to assist you by telephone (000) 000-0000 to answer your questions about the operation or repair of your water heater during normal business hours.

If an exact replacement is not available, Water Heater Innovations will provide you with the current model of your water heater, or component part(s), or a replacement unit with comparable operating features. If government regulations or industry certification or similar standards require the replacement water heater, or replacement component part(s), to have features not found in the defective water heater, or the defective component part(s), you will be charged for the difference in price represented by those required features. If you pay the price difference for those required features and/or to upgrade the size and/or other features available on a replacement new water heater, you will also receive a complete new Limited Warranty (with the full applicable warranty period) for the replacement new water heater. Water Heater Innovations reserves the right to inspect, or require the return of, the failed water heater or the defective component part(s). Each “in-warranty” failure water heater must be made available to Water Heater Innovations (with the rating label and all the component parts intact) in exchange for the replacement water heater. Each defective “in-warranty” component part to be replaced may be required to be returned to Water Heater Innovations in exchange for the replacement component part.

You may also be required to provide documentary proof of the failed water heater’s date of original installation to establish its “in-warranty” status. • To receive warranty compensation for an “in-warranty” defective component part, you must provide Water Heater Innovations with: (at Water Heater Innovations option) either the defective component part or the part number on the failed component part; the complete model number and the complete serial number of the water heater from which the defective component part was removed; and the date the defective component part failed. You may also be required to provide documentary proof of the date of original installation of the water heater from which the defective part was removed – or the date of purchase of the part (if it was purchased separately) - to establish the “in-warranty” status of the defective component part.
