General Terms

As a customer of Empowercom Pty Ltd, we will provide you with warranties for our goods and services, on the condition that you show us your proof of purchase and photo identification.

For claims regarding our goods, we reserve the right to inspect any product in question and confirm its cause of failure or defect.

For claims regarding our services, we reserve the right to investigate the situation in question and confirm whether an employee’s conduct did not exercise acceptable care, skill or technical knowledge.

In circumstances where we find the cause of failure, defect or erroneous conduct to have been a result of other sources, such as a customer or third party’s conduct, then full charges will apply for the cost of any repair or replacement requested by that customer.

High Quality Workmanship

Customers of Empowercom Pty Ltd are protected by our 7-year warranty on workmanship. This means that as the original purchaser, from the date of your purchase, you will be covered on the labour of our employees during the completion of our services.

We guarantee our installation is completed to meet or exceed the electrical installation criteria defined within the Australian Standard (AS 3000), National Construction Code and manufacturer’s instructions which are current at the time the work was completed. In other words, the year your invoice has written on it is the year of the regulations we will/have completed our work to. We will not provide cover for workmanship that is deemed defective or non-compliant according to rules released after the installation date.

Please note that this section only applies to our services in particular. Therefore, if your enquiry is related to a manufacturer defect or error, please read Equipment Cover below.
