SunTouch and Watts Radiant (the Companies) warrant their
respective electric floor heating mats and cables (the Products)
to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for
twenty-five (25) years from the date of manufacture. Thermostats
and controls sold by the Companies are warranted, parts and
materials, for two (2) years from the date of purchase. The sole
remedy for controls is product replacement. This warranty is
only provided to customers who purchase the Products from
authorized resellers, and is transferable to subsequent owners
of properties where the Products are initially installed.
Under this Limited Warranty, the Companies will provide
the following:
If the Product is determined by the Companies to be defective
in materials and workmanship, and has not been damaged as a

of the Product at the time of purchase in accordance with the
following: 100% for the first ten (10) years, then prorated on a
diminishing 25-year scale for the remaining warranty period.
For example:
(1) Product found defective in the 5th year will receive the
full manufacturer’s published list price of the Product at
the time of purchase;
(2) Product found defective in the 15th year, with 10 years
remaining in the warranty period, will receive 10/25ths
of the manufacturer’s published list price of the Product
at the time of purchase.

the nature of the defect, the installation, the history of
