No!!!!!

We kept one for this reason and got ****ed last summer. They want to patch everything, even on a 17 y/o unit, then you get to cover all the things that the warranty does not. Mine had a leak at the attic coil, my part was about $1700, their part and labor, about $800. They left me a laundry list of updates that were necessary for an inspection, the trouble is I was at a huge jobsite everyday and had daily HVAC inspections with the city, I showed him the list of **** and he said only 1 of the 10 or so items was actually code. These warranty places work for **** money for the warranty company so they can rape you once they get to your house. The guy got to my house before me, hooked up his gauges, added refrigerant and was ready to go when I got home. Before troubleshooting anything he gave me a ballpark number for an entirely new system. Call your home warranty company and ask them who they send out if you need service, I bet its not your guy. After they tell you who it is, google that company and your warranty company at the same time, all I found with mine was horror stories.

After this episode. Had them send me a check for their part of the repair and came out of pocket about 6K for a new unit.

Never again. Rant over.

All this happened in August, in Houston, having just cut my vacation short so I could see my dad before he died.
