FAQ

What is a commissioning certificate?

A document signed by the installing technician confirming the equipment was installed per manufacturer specifications and is operational. It is critical evidence in warranty disputes.

Why do installation photos matter?

Photos document the condition of the equipment and surrounding area at installation. They can prove proper or improper installation, which is often central to warranty disputes.

What if the dealer didn't provide a commissioning certificate?

Request one in writing. If the dealer refuses or cannot provide one, document the request and response. The absence of a commissioning certificate may be relevant in a dispute.

Should I keep records of routine service visits?

Yes. Every service visit — even routine maintenance — should be documented. Service records establish a timeline and can show whether issues were recurring.
