Jewels Wrote:Home Warranties though they get you out of a pinch, really only want to repair not replace and a lot of the time replacing is the correct answer. A/C systems are closed systems, if you are low on refrigerant your system has a leak, and if it has a leak its busted. May be only a small leak now, but will be a big leak later. Oh your compressor died, we'll replace it.... but don't be surprised if your coil or air handler shits the bed next year. That's just how that works. Replace the fucker with an A/C that is the correct size for your house, and from a reputable installer and you'll appreciate the peace of mind later.
we got lucky and our AC repair company convinced the Warranty company to replace everything. its like you said, closed system, so if one thing bites it, the whole system comes down. looking forward to not having to screw with this again for another 8-10 years, especially when the air temps get up to nuclear fission levels down here from June-August.
