Beware of home warranties that claim to cover your HVAC
Don’t fall for insurance companies that offer policy’s that supposedly repair or replace your AC when it fails.
They never replace the system – they will just keep sending people out to patch it up and keep it barely running.

When someone makes you an unbelievable offer, you should maintain a healthy suspicion.
