You might try calling them. Of course have all the info you can available. Unit serial number, a list of what has been checked, replaced etc.
In your posts you have said you are considering replacing the unit. Ours is three years old installed by the builder.
Ours is 13 SEER-it is posted on the unit and I think that was the minimum that they could install at the time.
I did notice that at Fenny they are using 15 SEER. The difference is 13%. Would you save 13% in your heating and cooling costs? That might be an interesting question to ask.
As you well know an intermittent problem is the most difficult one to find.

Thanks ..... we are 2nd owners of this home and ours is the original unit (9 yrs old) and is 13 seer which I believe is (was?) the minimum code requirement.
Electricity rates are relatively low here so that saving VERY optimistically 15% would be around $20 month so considering probably close to $1000 difference in equipment cost it would take probably ~5 years to amortize so it's probably worth it from that point assuming I want the larger out of pocket expense.
