I agree. But, the problem with a home warranty is that you are locked in to one company who makes the decision when a system needs to be replaced. They make more money by delaying replacement for as long as possible.

The solution is to fire the warranty company and hire one of the very competent HVAC companies who will allow you to decide when to replace the system. Another problem with home warranties is that the warranty company will never hire a local competent HVAC company because those companies will not share their profit with a warranty company.
