Step by step
Confirm you're the original retail purchaser
LHI warranty is to the original retail purchaser only. Resale or second-owner transfer doesn't carry warranty.
Find your model's specific warranty period
Period is 1, 3, 5, or 10 years depending on the model. Check the model-specific documentation that came with the heater (not generic brochure copy).
Confirm the use case (residential vs commercial)
Residential use gets the full model-specific tier (up to 10 years). Commercial use at restaurants, hotels, or event venues is 1 year on every model.
Confirm installation + operation per manual
Coverage requires the heater was assembled and operated in accordance with the printed instructions accompanying it. Deviations (modifications, wrong fuel, missing maintenance) void coverage.
Contact LHI with model + serial + proof of purchase
Customer service phone documented as (888) 779-LAVA. Email contact was [email protected]. If a modern email comes back, update the contact.
Common mistakes
- Running a residential-rated heater in a restaurant. Commercial use drops the warranty to 1 year regardless of model. Restaurants + hotels should specify commercial-rated models.
- Buying 'LHI' off eBay or an unlisted dealer. Unauthorized-dealer purchases are explicitly excluded from warranty. Confirm the dealer is authorized with LHI directly before buying.
Hands-on tips
- Keep the original box for the first 30 days + photograph the serial sticker / data plate on receipt.
- Save proof-of-purchase in cloud storage. Warranty claims require it and paper receipts fade.
Questions people ask
What's the longest warranty period LHI offers?
10 years from date of purchase, residential use, for the top-tier models. 1 year is the floor; 3 and 5 are intermediate tiers. Commercial use is 1 year on all models.
Does LHI cover shipping for warranty parts?
Customer must prepay all transportation charges relating to part(s) or product(s) being returned. If LHI approves the claim, they replace the defective part without charge — but freight to/from LHI is the customer's cost.
