Default AC Insurance Contracts

In 2008, we took out a 10 year contract with Sun Kool. Today, Sun Kool confirmed that we have a leak both in the air-exchange coil in the garage and in the outside compressor. If I heard the tech correctly, he said between the diagnostic leak test, and parts and labor for the repair that we saved close to $2K with the contract. There's no cost to us for the repairs. I'm not a big fan of extended contracts but in this case I made an exception and gambled correctly and we'll more than recover the cost of the 10 year contract. With all of the recent publicity about AC leaks in the lines embedded in the cement slabs, I was betting that Sun Kool would find leaks in the lines. Just as a point of info, our CYV is coming up on 6 years this month. According to Sun Kool, an AC in Central FL lasts 10-12 years before you have to replace the entire unit.
