The parts are warranted for a period of ten (10) years to the original owner of the mini-split equipment under normal use and service.

• The mini-split equipment must be properly installed. This includes installation by a contractor licensed for HVAC installation following all local and state laws.
• Any part to be replaced must be made available in exchange for the replacement.

*Single-family home is defined as any single-family dwelling, which includes apartments, condominiums, duplexes, and homes.

The Effective Date of warranty coverage is determined as follows: (a) If the original installation date can be verified by the installer’s invoice then the Effective Date of warranty coverage is the original installation date as shown on the installer’s invoice. For residential new construction installations, the final occupancy permit, or proof of purchase from the builder can be substituted for the installer’s invoice.
