Warranty terms and conditions

Docherty Group chimney systems are manufactured to the
highest quality standards. Under normal operating conditions,
Excelsior provides many years of reliable service and carries a
10 year conditional warranty depending on application,
installation and maintenance.
The components within the range can be vulnerable when exposed
to the products of combustion from solid fuel appliances and
this is especially true for terminals. Condensate collectors are
also vulnerable, particularly if the flue system is not regularly
maintained and cleaned. These components are considered
'incidental' and their life expectancy will vary depending on location,
application, fuel usage and maintenance. For this reason, these
fittings are covered by a 2 year warranty and not the 10 year
conditional warranty.
Excelsior carries a 10 year conditional warranty for any defect
due to faulty manufacture, this is provided the system has been
installed in accordance with the installation instructions, and has
been used for the purpose it was designed for. Furthermore, the
system must be regularly cleaned, maintained and inspected.
This should be carried out at least once per year, and more
regularly if the appliance is used continuously or frequently, by a
member of one of the HETAS recognised chimney sweep
associations (APICS, GMCS or NACS) or a HETAS Approved
Engineer. Written documentation to demonstrate the inspection
and cleaning of the chimney must be kept to validate the ten
year warranty. When burning mineral fuel or smokeless fuel
in your appliance, care should always be taken to use a high
quality fuel. Only HETAS or SFA (Solid Fuel Association) approved
fuels must be used with Excelsior. For guidance on fuel choices
please visit www.hetas.co.uk.
Under no circumstances should an appliance be located where
there is the potential of chemical contamination of the combustion air.
Where the chimney system is exposed to severe coastal locations,
you must ensure adequate protection to the outer components
of Excelsior. A chimney fire will invalidate the warranty; in the event
of a chimney fire it is always advisable to replace the complete
chimney system.
