When I signed up - there did not seem to be an issue with age of the unit. I pay them $99 a year to come out and inspect the units. They have had to replace a condenser twice at NO COST to me. The warranty also replaced a leaking hot water tank at no cost. I mention this as why replace a working unit. Other big ticket items are covered too so I suggest you check them out.
Be sure the house does not have one of those "energy saving" gadgets on it that limits your unit at times of high demand (like when its very hot and everyone's AC is running). I had one previously in VA and the house would sometimes get a little warmer as you describe and I can only guess if there were true savings. I'd rather be comfortable.

I looked up their reviews on Yelp. Notwithstanding your positive results, I don't think I will be using them anytime soon.
