Electric Floor-warming Products 25-year Limited Warranty

SunTouch and Watts Radiant (the Companies) warrant their 

respective electric floor heating mats and cables (the Products) 

to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 

twenty-five (25) years from the date of manufacture. Thermostats 

and controls sold by the Companies are warranted, parts and 

materials, for two (2) years from the date of purchase. The sole 

remedy for controls is product replacement. This warranty is 

only provided to customers who purchase the Products from 

authorized resellers, and is transferable to subsequent owners 

of properties where the Products are initially installed.

Under this Limited Warranty, the Companies will provide 
the following:

If the Product is determined by the Companies to be defective 

in materials and workmanship, and has not been damaged as a 

result of abuse, misapplication or modification, the Companies 

will refund all or part of the manufacturer’s published list price 

of the Product at the time of purchase in accordance with the 

following: 100% for the first ten (10) years, then prorated on a 

diminishing 25-year scale for the remaining warranty period. 

For example:  

(1)  Product found defective in the 5th year will receive the 

full manufacturer’s published list price of the Product at 

the time of purchase;

(2)  Product found defective in the 15th year, with 10 years 

remaining in the warranty period, will receive 10/25ths 

of the manufacturer’s published list price of the Product 

at the time of purchase. 

In order to make a claim, you must:

(a)  Provide the Company with sufficient details relating to 

the nature of the defect, the installation, the history of 

operation, and any repairs that may have been made.

(b)  At the Company’s discretion and at the owner’s expense, 

ship the Product to the Company or the Company’s local 

representative or distributor.

(c)  Provide proof that the Product was installed in accordance 

with the applicable Product Installation Manual and any 

special written design or installation guidelines by the 

Companies for this project.

(d)  Provide proof that the Product was installed in accordance 

with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian 

Electrical Code (CEC), and all applicable local building 

and electrical codes.

(e)  Provide a retail sales receipt or proof of purchase.

The following are not covered by this Limited Warranty:

(a)  Any incidental or consequential damage, including 

inconvenience, loss of time or loss of income.

(b)  Any labor or materials required to repair or replace the 

Product or control, not authorized in writing by the 

Company.

(c)  Any labor or materials required to remove, repair or 

replace flooring materials.

(d)  Any freight or delivery costs related to the Product, the 

control, or any related flooring or electrical products.

The Companies assume no responsibility under this warranty for 

any damage to the Product caused by any trades people, visitors 

on the job site, or damage caused as a result of post-installation 

work. The staff at the Company is available to answer any 

questions regarding the proper installation or application of 

the Product at this toll-free phone number: 800-276-2419. If you 

are ever in doubt about the correct installation procedure to 

follow, or if the Product appears to be damaged, you must call 

us before proceeding with the installation, or proposed repair.
 

THE COMPANIES DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY NOT PROVIDED HEREIN, 

INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR 

IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 

THE COMPANIES FURTHER DISCLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR 

SPECIAL, INDIRECT, SECONDARY, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL 

DAMAGES ARISING FROM OWNERSHIP OR USE OF THIS PRODUCT, 

INCLUDING INCONVENIENCE OR LOSS OF USE. THERE ARE NO 

WARRANTIES WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE OF THIS 

DOCUMENT. NO AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMPANIES 

HAS ANY AUTHORITY TO EXTEND OR MODIFY THIS WARRANTY 

UNLESS SUCH EXTENSION OR MODIFICATION IS MADE IN WRITING 

BY A CORPORATE OFFICER.
DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN BUILDING AND FLOOR INSULATION, 

CLIMATE, AND FLOOR COVERINGS, THE COMPANIES MAKE NO 

REPRESENTATION THAT THE FLOOR TEMPERATURE WILL ACHIEVE 

ANY PARTICULAR TEMPERATURE, OR TEMPERATURE RISE. UL® 

STANDARD LISTING REQUIREMENTS LIMIT THE HEAT OUTPUT OF 

REGULAR MATS AND CABLES TO 15 WATTS PER SQUARE FOOT 

DEPENDING ON CABLE INSTALL SPACING, AND UNDERFLOOR 

MATS TO 10 WATTS PER SQUARE FOOT, AND AS SUCH, USERS 

MAY OR MAY NOT BE SATISFIED WITH THE FLOOR WARMTH 

THAT IS PRODUCED. THE COMPANIES DO WARRANT THAT ALL 

PRODUCTS WILL PRODUCE THE RATED OUTPUT LISTED ON THE 

PRODUCT NAMEPLATE, WHEN OPERATED AT THE RATED VOLTAGE.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or 

consequential damages and some states do not allow limitations 

on how long implied warranties may last. Therefore, the above 

limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty 

gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other 

rights, which vary from state to state. SO FAR AS IS CONSISTENT 

WITH APPLICABLE STATE LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT 

MAY NOT BE DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE 

ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO TWENTY-FIVE YEARS FROM THE 

DATE OF MANUFACTURE.

Terms and Conditions

Shipping Discrepancies:

  Incoming materials should be inven-

toried for completeness and for possible shipping damage. Any 

visible damages or shortages must be noted prior to accepting 

the material. Once the receiving personnel accept the material 

on their dock, they have relieved the freight company of any 

responsibility. Any discrepancy concerning type or quantity 

of material shipped, must be brought to the attention of the 

Companies within 15 days of the shipping date entered on the 

packing slip for the order.

Return Policy:

   The Companies items may be returned within 

one year from the date of purchase, if they are not damaged 

or used. There will be a 15% restock charge applied to items 

returned due to overstock or customer order error. All returned 

items must be in new condition. Products, controls or other parts 

that have a quality defect will be replaced (not credited) at no 

charge to the customer. If an item is shipped in error, there will 

be no restocking charge. All items returned, for replacement, 

credit or repair, must have a Returned Goods Authorization (RGA) 

number, or they will not be accepted. Please call our order desk 

for an RGA number. Products older than one year are excluded 

from these terms and conditions and may not be returned. 

No returns will be accepted for the Custom TapeMat product.
Products that have been damaged, or Products that have 

been cut, may not be returned. This includes Products that 

have had mortar or concrete materials applied to them. These 

Products cannot be repaired and cannot be resold; therefore, 

we cannot accept them.

Effective: 

 APRIL 1, 2006. This warranty applies to all Products 

purchased after this date.
