Replacing HHVAC
Hello: Yes, I had a similar problem with American Home Shield. Well, my problem was that they would only replace the malfunctioning part, not the whole unit. They say this in the contract, so its buyer beware.
But....this is very important....I talked to an HVAC mechanic. Putting a new compressor in an old unit just results in other parts breaking (perhaps because they can't keep up...I am not sure).

Moral: The 20-year-old unit you have, sadly must be entirely replaced. American Home Shield will pay you what the part and labor would have cost, but no more. Also, call your electric company - when I replaced my unit there was a $500 rebate for buying any new HVAC, no certain company had to be used.
Silver Lining: You can have this done right away rather than wait weeks.
