It seems you're right.Warranted for 30 years?! The company won't be around that long!
Today I have learned something and it's all the fault of that guy from Joisey!
BTW, for a long time I lived 6000' W of the GW Bridge.
I guess the companies really believe they will be around forever so a warranty over 20 years is not a lie, it's just very likely a false statement.
We as buyers always consider life as ,as long as we live, the seller is thinking, the life of the product. Somewhere in the warrentee you will find a well thought out and ambiguous statement that could take them off the hook.Yep. First of all, it's an easy bet for a CEO to make - that the business won't last. It could fold or be sold or they can just change names to avoid their commitments.
But it's not just that. Companies like Nutone are just ignoring their warrantees on old products. I have a Nutone bathroom fixture (light, fan, heater) that I installed about 25 years ago. (first, give them credit that the unit works at all, and that they replaced parts in the early years).
The problem is that it is warranted for life and they are not supporting it any longer. I bought it with that warranty in mind, and I have not breached my part of the deal. Now that it needs a new fan, they are just saying "NO". (just a little rant... didn't mean to pollute the thread)
