Guys,
Was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. When I purchased my home, I had full inspections done, including Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical. Part of the contract for buying the house, was that the seller include a home warranty for one year on the home - which the seller did.
Well, as it hits 27 degrees here my heating stops working. I call the Home Warranty company who sends someone out to look at it. The Heating guy said that it is in bad shape and the heat exchange is badly rusted - making it dangerous even if it was working.
So, he calls the Home Warranty company and tells them it needs replaced. They tell him they will not cover it because it was pre-existing. Although I agree that this has happened over time, the heating unit passed inspections when I bought the house.
It is a 5-ton unit so I am looking at $5800 if they don't pay for it. Could make for a very crappy Christmas for my family. Any help or suggestions...?
Thanks guys,
Jonny
