Home Depot / Rheem When Rheem water heater tank burst under warranty and was returned for replacement, I was told I could pick up new unit in two weeks. When I called to see if replacement was available for pickup, I was told they would not honor the warranty because the price of that make and model unit had changed during the two years since I had first purchased it.

I was told I could purchase the replacement unit for $750 and they would give me a credit of $350. They have already taken my original unit. So BEWARE, HOME DEPOT WILL NOT HONOR A WARRANTY IF THE PRICE CHANGES ON THAT ITEM DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THAT'S PROBABLY EVERY PRODUCT THEY SELL!
