This warranty is subject to additional terms described below. Click here to view the ARCO Zeus warranty information.

We believe that the best warranties are the ones you never have to use. However, if we determine an ARCO product to be defective under proper installation and utilization conditions, we are obligated to replace or repair the product or issue a refund of the purchase price. Should a customer endure additional labor costs for a professional installation, ARCO will reimburse said customer. We stand behind our product and its quality.

LABOR Reimbursement

For any ARCO product installed by a dealer or professional installer determined to be defective at the manufacturing level due to materials or workmanship, ARCO will reimburse the customer for reasonable labor charges incurred to replace the part. Labor rates will be based on installers posted shop rate if it its deemed competitive with the local market. Proof of original purchase and pending reinstallation work order must be provided to ARCO. Additionally, the potentially defective part must be sent to ARCO for evaluation. Hourly rates and time required for installation are subject to ARCO deeming them reasonable.
