it was in 4 mos started leaking, we had the largest and well known company come out with us, they stated it was a manufacture defect, we paid and had them fix out of our pocket, we were told we did not have to do this, it should have been sent back to california and they should have replaced this boiler,and paid for our labor to reinstall.We want to know if that is correct, and if so can we have any way to recoup our expense.

A water heater is usually warranted for a minimum of one year, that is the manufacturer will repair or replace it if problems, attributed to the manufacturing process, arise during that period. Since you had it repaired and used your own funds, you can write to the manufacturer (I recommend the President), explain the situation and ask to be reimbursed.

depending on type of business...sole proprietor claim as business loss if corporation lots deeper...LLC same as sp File on schedule for business loss check with your tax preparer for the proper form..but all is not lost if you do not want to mess with the company that sold you faulty merchandise...When you file taxes for 2006 you will claim it as a loss and it will reduce the tax you owe but you will not get it as a refund.
I would also recommend checking with the better business bureau to see if the company you dealt with has had problems before. Check your contract to see if they gave themselves a loophole to get out of replacing or repairing the water heater. New appliance always come with at least a 90 day warranty.
