ON PETITION TO TRANSFER
SULLIVAN, Justice.
Phelps expended considerable sums repairing Rheem furnaces that Phelps had sold and installed. We hold that the language of the UCC precludes Phelps from recovering consequential damages from Rheem for breach of express warranty and that the language of the express warranty at issue precludes Phelps from recovering for labor expenses. However, Phelps may still have valid claims for indemnity and breach of implied warranty.
