Warranty
Most Arcoaire systems come with a standard 10-year parts limited warranty. However, heat exchangers usually have longer warranties, although this varies from model to model. Check your warranty certificate or contact your dealer for more information. Proof of purchase and regular maintenance is required to satisfy any warranty claims, while online registration is necessary to receive full benefits.
