Terms of use
By using appliancecheckup.com you agree to these terms.
Information only
Our tools and guides give general information and estimates based on published data. They are not a safety inspection, an appraisal, a warranty, or professional, legal or financial advice. A manufacture date decoded from a serial number can be wrong; a date printed on the rating plate or the manufacturer's records take priority.
Safety
Never attempt gas or electrical work based on anything on this site. Hire a licensed technician. If you smell gas, leave the building and call your gas utility or 911 from outside.
Recalls
Our recall check may miss recalls, and a match must be confirmed on the official notice. Always check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission site and the manufacturer.
No warranty
The site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for decisions made using the site.
Links
We link to other sites for sources and next steps. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content.
Content
You may quote short passages with credit to Appliance Checkup; a link is welcome but not required. Please don't copy whole pages.
Reusing our data
Our data tables are free to reuse with credit. You may copy, publish and adapt the water heater replacement cost by state table and its chart, and our appliance recall index with its analysis and chart, in print or online, including in commercial work, as long as you credit Appliance Checkup as the source. A link to the page is welcome but not required.
Please keep our estimates labeled as estimates, credit the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission as the original source of the recall data, and don't suggest that we endorse your use. The data comes with no warranty (see above).
Our printables (the cheat sheets and the home systems age report) may be printed and given to clients, including with an inspection report, if they are unchanged and keep their footer.
