They couldn't do it to me because the place they sent out to fix my outdoor unit happened to be the place that has three years of records of having inspected it twice a year and given it a clean bill of health. Just waiting for the big compressor failure so we can get the new system covered by the home warranty co.

That sounds like a nice bit of luck. I don't have a warranty, so it's not going to help me, but it's something to remember in the future if I move to a home with a warranty.
