Rheem Announces 5-Year Limited Warranty This five year limited warranty is applicable only to single-phase products installed in residential applications on or after January 1, 2001.

GENERAL

All of RHEEM AIR CONDITIONING DIVISION'S products come with a written limited warranty on parts. The warranty provides that a replacement will be furnished for any part of the product which fails in normal use and service during the applicable warranty period specified, in accordance with the warranty's terms. The RHEEM replacement part is warranted for only the unexpired portion of the original warranty. If the product has a heat exchanger which fails and a replacement is not available, a credit for the heat exchanger will be allowed towards the purchase of a new unit as described below.*

All parts are warranted for a period of ONE (1) YEAR after the effective date, except for the following specified product parts.

EFFECTIVE DATE

The effective date is the date of installation if properly documented, otherwise it is the date of manufacture plus six (6) months.

Protection Plus allows you to extend the limited warranty on your Rheem equipment up to 10 years. Coverage begins on the expiration date of your Rheem limited warranty (typically one year for parts and labor).
