Now the problem. We came to the house immediately following closing and had neighbors in for champagne.

The next day, we called the repair man who did something to make it work, but it did not work for long. We bought a new furnace and a/c. Workman were coming in and we need the a/c. THEN we realize that we have a one year warranty on the house.

The home inspection company will not offer any help because they said that the a/c worked when inspected, and the home warranty company won't help because they said it did not when we bought the house.

Some help should be given because we had insurance thru the whole process, but whose problem is it? It is hard for me to figure out who is most responsible.

We know that getting the a/c replaced on our own isn't helping, but who should help with the cost, home inspector or home warranty?

We have notified our salesperson and both the home inspection company and
home warranty company just said no.

Does anyone have any ideas that might help?
At first I thought you were talking about a new house. This was a resale, right? It says you live in Hacienda Hills and no new homes are for sale there so this must be a purchased warranty or one offered by the seller. You replaced the unit that was warranteed so no help there and the unit did work when you moved in. That is all the inspector could say. How would he know it would die?
