DeWalt Power Tools

If a qualified* DeWalt product fails within 1 year of original purchase, the product must be sent or taken to a DeWalt Service Center for free repair service. This is the customer’s responsibility. Chadwell Supply does not facilitate that return.

*Qualified determined by Production Run Code on unit. If there is a manufacturer’s defect, as determined by DeWalt Service Center, at the time of service, the unit will be replaced (if Production Run Code is within 3 years).

Batteries are warranted for 2 years (Black top) or 3 years (XR) and follow the same procedure as above.

HVAC Equipment

WE CANNOT PICK UP ANY PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED HVAC EQUIPMENT

All Brothers, Airquest, Rheem, and Goodman units (condensing units, heat pumps, air handlers, furnaces, etc.) are covered under a 5-year parts warranty.

All HVAC parts (compressors, coils, motors, control boards, valves, wiring harnesses, etc.) are covered under a 1-year parts warranty.

Warranty coverage does not include labor to repair the equipment.

Note: Use of any non-approved refrigerants or lubricants for air conditioning applications of Copeland brand compressors will void compressor or system warranties. A list of approved refrigerants and lubricants is maintained on the 93-11 Form by Emerson Climate Technologies.

If equipment fails within the warranty period, the manufacturer will replace the defective part that caused the unit to fail, provided the following:

A. The defective part is identified by the installer/technician.

B. The defective part is removed and replaced with a new warrantied part.

C. The HVAC warranty form is completed and submitted to Chadwell Supply within 14 days of service failure.

Your warranty can be hassle-free by following these easy steps:

1. Take a picture of the Model and Serial number on failed unit.

2. Email picture and what the defective part is with the Account Name and Number to warrantyexpress@chadwellsupply.com.

3. Once Chadwell Supply confirms that the unit is under warranty, we will send out the replacement part and warranty paperwork. Until the part is returned and confirmed to be covered, there will be a charge for the replacement part. The warranty form needs the following information:

• Installation date of the replacement part.
• Model number and Serial number for the failed part.
• Model number and Serial number for the replacement part.
• Original Equipment Model and Serial Number.

4. When the warranty form is complete and the old part is ready for pick up, call Customer Service at 888-341-2423 or email a request to warrantyexpress@chadwellsupply.com.

5. Chadwell Supply will pick up the old part along with the warranty form and confirm warranty status.

6. Once approved by the manufacturer, credit will be applied to the account automatically for the previously invoiced replacement part.

Note: All forms must be 100% completed and submitted within 14 days of service failure for warranty credits to be processed.

The process above covers all HVAC equipment such as condensing units, heat pumps, air handlers, furnaces, coils, compressors, motors, control boards, etc.

State and Rheem water heater tanks are covered by a 6-year warranty against leaks and part failure, with the exception of the State 100 gallon commercial unit (#206047) which is a 3-year warranty.

State and Rheem parts purchased separately carry a 1-year warranty.

For units thought to be Dead on Arrival (DOA), please call customer service with the model, serial number, installation date, and invoice number and the parts that are defective. We will send out replacement parts (thermostat or element) in order to get you up and running. (Visit our Product Knowledge: Water Heater page for diagnostic help and resources to aid in determining the nature of the problem.)

For other warranty issues, Call Customer Service at 888-341-2423 with the model, serial number, installation date, and invoice number.

The rating plate and the replacement information from the new water heater are required to complete the warranty paperwork and process the credit for the new water heater.
