Well ...... it's under a home warranty plan so I only pay once. Problem is, after the initial call they aren't happy to return, but they do. Their gripe is (and probably rightfully so) that it is always working when they get here so, says he, they can't "see what's wrong." I'm hoping (legitimately) to drive them so crazy they will just eventually replace the unit. Fortunately for me it works 85% of the time and just randomly shuts down for an hour or 3 whenever it wants. The tech is basically just a "parts replacer" and is overloaded with calls. The right thing would be to have a Carrier Tech sent out but I don't want to pay for that on a system that is pretty much at the end of it's life. So far all I have invested is $100 and some of my free time. Will see how they respond to service call #3 when I call in on Monday. Not sure how much of a real complaint I have if it is always working when they get here.
