Sounds to me like your sister got exactly what she paid for. No more,
no less.
If the heat exchanger is indeed ruined there may only be an $80
difference as the heat exchanger would not be covered under warranty
do the the mis-use and abuse it received from your brother. Thats not
covered in a warranty.
Maybe your sister could get her cousin to install the next one?
