They were extremely friendly and they understood that we couldn’t afford to replace the air conditioning system right away.
Before my husband and I moved into our current home, we negotiated a home warranty with the sellers. When the inspection report came back and we saw that the HVAC system was as old as it was, we tried asking the seller to pay the closing costs. Unfortunately, they weren’t willing to put any money into the closing costs, but they were willing to provide a one year home warranty. It didn’t cost much on their end, but it provided us enough wiggle room to survive. That home warranty wouldn’t cover any replacements of the HVAC system, but it would cover any repairs that needed done within that one year mark. We were thankful for the warranty because we didn’t have any money left to update our HVAC system after we purchased the house. During our first summer, our air conditioner constantly needs attention. Because we were contacting the local HVAC company on a regular basis, the HVAC technicians began to learn us by name. They were extremely friendly and they understood that we couldn’t afford to replace the air conditioning system right away. The HVAC technicians also knew about the home warranty, so they never hesitated to service our air conditioner when it broke. By the end of the year, my husband and I had enough money to finally purchase a brand new air conditioning system. We were so thankful for the home warranty that gave us enough time to save money for a new AC system! During that year, we came to appreciate cool air more than we ever had before.
