Bitzer offers extra IQ warranty

The IQ module is at the heart of Bitzer’s advanced products

GERMANY: Bitzer is to offer a complementary one-year warranty extension on its IQ products from January 1.

Bitzer’s IQ products include intelligent compressors and condensing units as well as certain components like frequency inverters and operating modules. These products offer advanced features such as data communication with superordinate system controllers via Modbus, comprehensive protection features, intelligent monitoring and functions to record the operating parameters of the compressors for easy maintenance and service.

Customers will now benefit from a complimentary one-year extra warranty on top of the legal one-year warranty on all Bitzer IQ products bought from 1 January 2018.

Explaining the reasons behind the move, Philippe Maratuech, Bitzer’s director of services and after-sales, said: “We want our customers to benefit from this confidence and to strengthen their trust in our intelligent solutions.”

This additional service is available in numerous sales regions on an annual basis and can be extended to an overall warranty of five years, on top of the one-year free warranty on IQ products.
