Limited Warranty Details
Shipping Damage
Should your item arrive with damage that is a direct result of the assigned shipping carrier’s mishandling, At our discretion, EZtankless.com will replace the entire unit or those specifically damaged parts free of charge. Said damage must be reported immediately upon delivery. If the package is obviously severely damaged, we request that the receiver decline acceptance and ask the shipper to return the item as damaged. As our company pays our shipper for insurance on our merchandise and our company makes every effort to insure proper packaging within the rules of the contracted shipping company, EZTANKLESS asks for reasonable cooperation of our clients in regards to typical damage claim investigations conducted by said shipping company’s claims department. In the event that the damage is determined to be extensive, (digital photos may be required by e-mail), at EZTANKLESS’ discretion and after careful consideration, our company may arrange to have the item picked up and returned to our facility for free replacement. We will provide technical support via phone or through our Support Help Desk to assist customers with shipping related problems.
Return of Damaged or Warranty Parts
On rare occasions, EZTANKLESS may require specific parts to be returned to our USA warehouse for inspection before shipping replacement parts. Shipping costs back to EZtankless.com must be paid for by the end user/customer. Call tags will never be issued.
Freeze Damage
Obviously, EZTANKLESS cannot be held responsible for damage due to freezing of water inside the unit. Outside units must be thoroughly drained or removed to a warm place in times of low temperatures. Indoor units should be mounted in a heated space such as the basement or utility room in proximity to warm room air. Installers should be aware of extreme freezing conditions that may exist along exterior walls, in garages or due to natural weather occurrences as well as anomalies. Please take special precautions when planning the location of the unit. This is especially applicable to those users in Northern USA latitudes and those units installed in buildings without a consistent and constant heat source. Upon inspection, it is relatively easy for our technicians to recognize freeze damage and this will not be considered for warranty replacement. However, it is often possible to repair a freeze damaged unit. If your unit is damaged by freezing, you may wish to send it to our facility for inspection and possible repair.
