I got home last night to an E-Mail from the warranty company saying Congratulations! .... but ....
It went on to say that the repairs have been approved, but there were some things not covered. That came to $1,415.00.
I figured I would call the plumber this morning to find out what wasn't approved before I authorized the repairs. They actually called me as I was pulling in to work.
The non-covered items are all related to building code 'gotchas'. Again, as this heater lasted for 21 years, I really can't complain too much. Things that aren't covered are the 'expansion' tank, which is a small storage tank that sits on top of the main tank. Re-working of duct work, installation of new cut-off valves, the utility inspection, and 2 carbon monoxide detectors.
I got a message this afternoon that the parts were all ordered and on their way to the plumber. The plumber is closed until Tuesday, but I expressed the hope that it could be completed by Friday as I was off work all week. They pretty much said doubtful as the tank usually takes a week to arrive. Oh well.
Can anyone recommend a decent CO monitor? Battery powered is best as there are no convenient electrical outlets where they need to go.
