When purchasing and installing a Rinnai water heater, the warranty for the unit is provided by Rinnai, the manufacturer of the brand. Here are some key points to consider:
Rinnai offers a warranty period of up to ten years for their water heaters, depending on the model and type of installation.
To activate the warranty, the unit must be installed by a licensed installer and registered online within 90 days of the installation date.
The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service, and includes replacement or repair of any faulty components.
The warranty is valid only if the unit is used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and if it is serviced and maintained regularly by a licensed installer.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or neglect, or if the unit is modified or repaired by unauthorized personnel.
It is always advisable to check the warranty terms and conditions before making a purchase decision, as different manufacturers may have varying warranty periods and coverage. It is also recommended to select a water heater that is energy efficient to reduce energy consumption and costs in the long run. Consulting with a licensed installer and heating specialist can help you determine the best heating solution for your specific needs and budget.
