Hi Frank,
Sorry to hijack this thread. My experience has been in New York state the ac unit worked fine and is still working fine after 16 years, it was never serviced aside from filter changes. I have also owned homes in South Florida and never had a Freon problem on a unit that was less than 15 years old. I did have to replace a blower twice, and a compressor once in 45 years.
I think I will just put the extended warranty premiums and the Service contract premiums into a jar and spend them if I have a problem.
Your personal A-Coil replacement and the Freon leak was probably because of the harsh chemicals used to clean the air handler, or an overly enthusiastic mechanical cleaning of the coils or of that leak you mentioned. Just my observations. Bill
