Trane DC-UC-WEB01 Heat Pump User Manual


 
Subject to the terms and conditions of this limited warranty, Trane U.S., Inc. (“Company’) extends
a limited warranty against manufacturing defects for the product(s) identied in Table 1 attached hereto
(“Products’) that are installed in a residential application (personal, family or household purposes) under
normal use and maintenance in the United States and Canada.
This limited warranty applies to Products manufactured on or after August 1, 2011.
In order to maximize the available benets under this limited warranty, the Purchaser (as dened
below) should read it in its entirety. All repairs of Product parts covered under this limited warranty must
be made with authorized service parts and by a licensed HVAC service provider. Additionally, commercial
applications are treated differently under this limited warranty as stated in Table 1 attached hereto. For
purposes of this limited warranty, “commercial applications” shall mean any application other than for
personal, family, or household use.
TERM: The limited warranty period for Products is as stated in Table 1 attached hereto. If the Pur-
chaser properly registers the Products, the limited warranty period shall be extended as stated in Table 1
attached hereto. Regardless of registration, the Commencement Date for a limited warranty period shall
be the date that the original installation is complete and all Product start-up procedures have been prop-
erly completed and veried by an installer’s invoice. If the installation and start-up date cannot be veried
by the installer’s invoice, the Commencement Date shall be sixty (60) days after the factory manufacture
date which is veried by the Product serial number. Where a Product is installed in a newly constructed
home, the Commencement Date is the date the Purchaser purchased the residence from the builder.
Proof of Product purchase, installation, and/or closing date of the residence may be required to conrm
the Commencement Date.
The installation of Product replacement parts under this limited warranty shall not extend the original
warranty period. The warranty period for any Product part replaced under this limited warranty is the ap-
plicable warranty period remaining under the original Product warranty.
WHO IS COVERED: This limited warranty is provided only to the original owner and his or her
spouse (“Purchaser’) of the residence where the Products are originally installed. This warranty is not
transferable except according to terms stated on the applicable website identied below under Registra-
tion Requirements. Company has the right to request any and all proof of Product purchase or installation
and/or closing date of the residence.
WHAT COMPANY WILL DO: Company may request proof of Product purchase and/or installa-
tion in order to provide Product parts under this limited warranty. As Company’s only responsibility and
Purchaser’s only remedy under this limited warranty, Company will furnish a replacement part to the
licensed HVAC service provider, without charge for the part only, to replace any Product part that fails
due to a manufacturing defect under normal use and maintenance. The Purchaser must pay for any
and all shipping and handling charges and other costs of warranty service for the replacement part. If a
Product part is not available, Company will, at its option, provide a free suitable substitute part or provide
a credit in the amount of the then factory selling price for a new suitable substitute part to be used by the
Purchaser towards the retail purchase price of a new Company product. Any new Product purchase shall
be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense including, but not limited to, all shipping, removal, and installa-
tion costs and expenses.
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS: All Products must be properly registered online by the Purchaser
within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date to receive the registered limited warranty terms. To
register online, go to:

the base limited warranty terms shall apply.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: The following items are required in order for the Products to be
covered under this limited warranty:
The Products must be in the same location where they were originally installed.
The Products must be properly installed, operated, and maintained by a licensed HVAC service
provider in accordance with the Product specications or installation, operation, and maintenance
instructions provided by Company with each Product. Failure to conform to such specications and/
or instructions shall void this limited warranty. Company may request written documentation showing
the proper preventative maintenance.
All Product parts replaced by Company under this limited warranty must be given to the servicing
provider for return to Company.
Air handlers, air conditioners, heat pumps, cased or uncased coils and stand-alone furnaces must
be part of an Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute rated and matched system or a
specication in a Company provided bulletin or otherwise approved in writing by a Company autho-
rized representative.

Products and/or Product parts.

REFRIGERANT POLICY: Beginning on January 1, 2010, R-22 refrigerant will no longer be used
as a manufacturer-installed refrigerant as required by federal regulation. Any and all expenses or costs
associated with replacing Product parts that are not R-410A compatible will not be covered by the terms
and conditions of this limited warranty. In addition, all Products containing R-410A refrigerant include a
liquid line lter drier which must be replaced when a compressor replacement is necessary. A suction line
lter drier must be added for compressors dened as burnouts. Failure to comply with such lter drier
requirements or the use of contaminated or alternate refrigerant or any non-approved refrigerant system
additives including, but not limited to, dyes, will void this limited warranty.
