The warranty is limited to parts only replacement and 

shipping of any faulty part or subassembly, which has 

failed due to defects in workmanship and materials. All 

claims must be supported by evidence that the failure has 

occurred within the warranty period, and that the AHU was 

operated within the designed parameters specified.

All warranty claims must specify the AHU model, serial 

number, order number, and run hours/starts. Model 

and serial number information is printed on the AHU 

identification plate.
