All installation must be in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, codes, and ordinances. 2. Products purchased over the internet or through other electronic means must

be installed by a qualified installer and the installation must adhere to the Quality Installation protocols of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), and these products must be registered with the manufacturer within 60 days of installation for the warranty to be in place. 4. This warranty does not cover damage or defect resulting from: c. Operation with system components (indoor unit, outdoor unit and refrigerant control devices) which are not an AHRI match or meet the specifications recommended by MRCOOL. e. Use of contaminated or refrigerant not compatible with the unit. For the purposes of space, I left out some of the warranty conditions which are normal and not relevant to the point here. The point is that homeowners should be very careful about purchasing HVACR equipment online. They may do a great installation job. They may not and Arkansas gives every homeowner the right to kill themselves with a faulty installation. One thing is for sure, only a trained HVAC installer knows the importance of measuring gas pressure on a furnace. Only a trained installer knows the importance of venting and combustion air. A furnace is not a present for Dad to break on Christmas Eve because he did not need to read the instructions. Quality installation has always been more important than brand name or price. So be careful and warn your customers of the inherent dangers of a DIY furnace or AC installation. Mr. Cool knows and has limited their liability.
