Who is responsible to repair a/c me or home warranty plan?

Question

My a/c at home in hot Azz Az just stoped working this weekend and my house inside is 100 plus. I called Old Republic and tech was sent and he found a lot of problems. For one leakes and freon leaked out and many other problems tech said last person who worked on it just did a really poor bandaid job. I purchase house last otc 07. I wonder if seller new about condition and just pulled one over on me because the are the ones that offered home warranty plan. If a/c is not covered the why in the world do I have warranty plan. So Old Republic is sounds like is denying claim. No to fix a/c (another bandaid job) it will cost about $1100.00, and to replace unit from $3000-$4000 maybe more or less. So question who is bill on me, the seller, or warranty(home protection)plan?

Answer 1

The previous home owner was well aware of the condition of the a/c.

As to who is going to pay for it,the seller was off the hook the minute it was sold,home warranty use the cheapest hands possible and only do half cheap repairs but probably won't replace,so you will ultimately will have to foot the bill for a change out.Get a Goodman.They have a good warranty and are very reasonably priced.Good luck.

Answer 2

Home owner warranty is for ten years and only covers major structure.

What you are looking for is American Shield which covers all appliances, ac and water heater.

Of course if you are talking about previous work done on the ac, when the warranty is only as good as the company that does the maintenance.

Answer 3

i think they'll fix it.

you need to check your home warranty to see if it's covered.

presumably it has been working.

if that's not the case, then it's a different story.

see if they're listed in the BBB.

if they are, and they continue to complain, then complain to the BBB.

you might also go back and ask your realtor.

they should be able to help you also.

i might to that first.
