And to deny a claim they must prove that it was a factor, there’s laws to prevent this from happening and recourse if they try to do that.
Different codes… explain how does a gas code apply to a chimney or exhaust please?
For your edit, can you provide an example of this happening? It gets perpetuated, but it doesn’t seem to be based of any evidence or facts.
Adding a sensor wouldn’t be considered a non manufacturer change. They would also need to prove it caused the fault before being able to deny the claim.
People also modify their appliances all the time, approved or not and it doesn’t matter since codes end at the shut off connection to the appliance.

Breakers trip internally, the switch is just there to reset it.
You can lock them on and they still trip.
Surprised they hadn’t hit the other hot key by accident myself. That’s usually how I find out about other/new features.
That’s a CSA and only applicable if code has adopted it, which isn’t universally across the board either. The gas codes will pull what they need, the plumbing code will pull what they need… you’re attributing multiple trades into 1 while specifically only refering to 1 code they are bound by. You didn’t mention anything g else other than “gas code”. Now you’re talking about plumbing and exhaust.
I did talk to them, they said the guy online is full of shit and knows just enough to make a fool of themselves since they make standards for agencies to adopt what they need out of for their codes.
And you realize you are bound by those codes and standards if you’re a gas fitter doing paid work, yeah? A homeowner installing a gas appliance doesn’t need to, the code ends at the gas connection to the appliance.
You made the claims onus is on you, but I’ll do you a favour. The old documents don’t exist, that’s a lie, and even if they did, shits changed. And for posterity, what are they called, I’ll look them up if you won’t. I doubt you I’ll do this though since again they don’t exist.
Theres not some magical list that says what insurance of modifications that insurance will and will not cover, that’s addressed by them having to prove it caused the issue.
