Also look at the room and what can be done to make the room cleaner.

Dust = insulation. Heat from caked on piles of dust will most definitely cause your equipment to fail sooner rather than later. At the very least I would recommend that you clean out the gunk from these systems and establish a regular cleaning schedule from here on.

Careful, the vendor may not ask for the cause of failure, but the manufacturer certainly will know, most likely without asking for it. At that point the manufacturer may deny the warranty, at which point you are going to have to deal with the insurance company yourself.
