Actually, it had nothing to do about price, but who was available. In the summertime they are crazy busy. And yes, they all charge more, especially in the summertime. Plus most people do not care when it is 110 outside, they just want their air back on.

In general you are on the hook for the service fee. Other than that you can do it however you wish. I generally do my own thing and send them the bill. They pay whatever they will pay for that item. IN general I buy somewhat better equipment then they want to pay for...so I generally put out a few bucks. On the water softener I think I ended paying about $150.

If I can ever get my ACs to fail I expect they will cost me between $1000 and $1500 each.

So what company do you use olecapt? This TotalProtect is tempting since it's the bank that holds the mortgage and the payment is added on the mortgage payment. But maybe I can do better than $39 a month and get better coverage.
