When I purchased our home, I knew there were some complications with the appliances, and the furnace was about fifteen years old.
The realtor commanded I buy a beach house warranty plan that would cover the everything in the house, but for most repairs, you made a small payment, and they did everything else.
I wasn’t planning on our furnace breaking down before anything else, but that was how it worked. I had to call the beach house warranty corporation and talk to them about the furnace. I explained what was going on with the furnace, and told them I was going to call the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation. I had to use their service center if I wanted them to pay for the furnace. I had to pay $200 up front, and then depending on what was wrong, I would have at least 10% copay for all parts and service. I asked if they were serious, and the lady asked if I had read our beach house warranty contract. This was nothing like what the realtor had told me. She said almost everyone paid about $30 and had free replacement. The beach house warranty corporation said the free replacement was with a use furnace of the same age. I planned on calling the realtor in the day, but I was going to call the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation and have them look at the furnace. The beach house warranty was a farce, but I knew I would get a new furnace with the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation, and not a used a single.
