will be valid only for water heaters in possession of the original
purchaser as recorded on the warranty card.
The heat exchanger
When the unit is professionally installed: If the heat
exchanger fails within fifteen (15) years after the original
installation and operation CEC will furnish a replacement
heat exchanger. However, if the water heater is installed in
other than a single family dwelling this heat exchanger
warranty is limited to two (2) years from date of original
installation and operation.
* The 15 year warranty period on the heat exchanger is
reduced to ten (10) years if the unit is not installed by a
plumber or licensed gas fitter.
Exceptions
This warranty will not apply:
1. to defects or malfunctions resulting from failure to properly
install, operate or maintain the unit in accordance with
the printed instructions provided;
2. to damage or abuse, accident, neglect or freezing and
other acts of nature;
3. to damage resulting from operation with either the flame
sensor rod or overheat sensor removed;
4. to failure of the heat exchanger resulting from the
operation of the water heater in a corrosive atmosphere
or at water temperatures exceeding the maximum rating,
or if the water heater is not supplied with potable water;
5. to defects or damage cause by any attachment
or modification, including any energy-saving device.
All other parts

installation and operation, CEC will furnish a replacement
part free of charge.

provide ground service delivery for these parts. Expedited or

honor your claim and subsequently notify CEC. However,
all replacements are made subject to validation by CEC of
in-warranty coverage. The damaged or defective item must
be made available in exchange for the replacement.
Miscellaneous
No one is authorized to make any other warranties on behalf
of CEC. It is expressly understood that the replacement
warranty of CEC shall be in lieu of any and all other
warranties, express or implied, including warranties of
merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose,
and further that CEC shall not be liable for any loss or
damage directly or indirectly arising from the use of the hot
water heater, or for any consequential damages arising from
such use (including damages from water leakage). CEC’s
sole liability with respect to any defect shall be for the
replacement of the defective part(s). Some states do not
allow such limitations and exclusions, so the above may not
apply to you.

other rights which vary from state to state.
