Skip, you are right about the parts,(see below) my extended warranty was already a part of the purchase price of my home.
Limited manufacturer’s warranties
A limited warranty is the warranty provided by the manufacturer. It's called "limited" because it's typically limited to a specific length of time and to specific items that it covers.
For instance, Trane’s XLi models leave the factory with a 10-year limited warranty on all functional parts. If a Trane air handler, coil or thermostat is installed at the same time as part of a complete XLi system, it too is covered by a 10-year limited warranty.
Through an agreement with Trane and its distributors, our independent dealers cover labor for at least one year after installation. Our highest-efficiency outdoor units are covered for two years.
What does this mean to you? If you purchased an XLi outdoor unit, the internal functional parts, compressor and outdoor coil are covered by our Manufacturer's Limited Warranty for 10 years and labor is covered by your dealer for two years. Since labor costs can be high and continue to rise, you should consider upgrading your Manufacturer's Limited Warranty to an Extended Warranty (see below) in order to cover labor for the remaining 8 years.
A heating and air conditioning system is a major purchase, so you'll want to make sure you fully understand the Manufacturer's Limited Warranty before you buy. Ask your dealer what the Manufacturer's Limited Warranty covers for the model(s) you've selected and if upgrading it with an Optional Extended Warranty is right for you.
