I asked if they could just come and inspect it, but that's a no-go. I really don't want to switch to a different company because they are probably going to say the same thing. Do I have any other options (besides not having insurance) where I can keep my original HVAC system? If not, do you have recommendations for a good company to install a new one? Very frustrating...grrrrrr.....:(

Sort of off point, however this is typical Villages mentality. So upset about spending money to replace outdated house issues, but ready and willing to spend thousands on putting some fancy painting on a driveway and thinking it's just a wonderful idea and that cost is a great way to spend money.

Only in The Villages!

Failed HVAC can lead to excessive humidity causing mold and a very costly insurance claim. It’s definitely related to their business, like it or not.

In a state with a functional and competitive insurance market that would definitely be the way to go. In reality, for a home in Florida over 20 years old there simply aren’t several reputable companies that will give homeowners a quote, and the number is shrinking every year.
