Canadian equipment and origin claims
Local requirements
Building permits, fuel-safety rules, electrical inspection, plumbing, refrigerant work, alarm placement and trade licensing are not administered identically across Canada. Consult the municipality and the provincial or territorial authority having jurisdiction before work begins.
Manufacturer information
The installation, operation and service manual for the exact model takes priority for clearances, filters, controls, maintenance and fault codes. Keep the model and serial number with the home’s equipment records.
