If a unit is installed improperly, what must the dealer provide according to regulations?

When a unit is installed improperly, the dealer is required to provide evidence of corrected installation. This regulation is in place to ensure that any issues with the installation are rectified, thus maintaining safety and compliance with building codes. Providing such evidence demonstrates that the dealer takes responsibility for the installation process and is committed to ensuring that the unit meets the necessary standards for safety and performance.

This requirement aligns with the overarching goal of protecting consumers and ensuring that homes are safe to live in. Offering evidence of a corrected installation typically involves documenting the steps taken to fix the initial installation issues, which could include re-inspections, compliance checklists, or certifications from qualified personnel after the corrections have been made.

In contrast, options like proof of registration with HCD, a report by a certified inspector, or a complaint against the installer do not directly address the need for rectifying an improper installation. While these may pertain to other aspects of building regulations, they do not satisfy the specific need for an assurance that the installation has been appropriately corrected.
