You also are responsible for the cost of shipping failed parts to the distributor and for incidental costs incurred locally, including handling charges. (If in Alaska, Hawaii or Canada, you also must pay the shipping costs of returning the failed part to the port of entry into the continental United States.) LABOR COSTS: This Limited Warranty does NOT cover any labor costs or expenses for service, NOR for removing or reinstalling parts.

The name and location of a local contractor can usually be found in your telephone directory or by contacting the Manufacturer's heating or air conditioning distributor. If necessary, the following Manufacturer's office can advise you of the nearest Manufacturer's distributor. P.O.
