on aug 25 11 what was the outcome who makes the best and most energy efficient trying to be of the game when this unit fails. roy 6 years ago we had a trane heat pump installed. 19 seer. twice a year maintenance from the installing contractor. no problems at all. electric bill is $110.00 a month year round. 10 cents per kilowatt. thermostat is set at 78 degrees in the summer and 68 degrees in the winter. house is more than well insulated. we dont have gas so everything is electric. 3 years from now when the 10 years parts and labor and everything is up i will renew the service contract again for 10 years. bob az do what you want but usually those service contracts are a rip off. you might be better just paying the hvac company to stop by twice a year for service and pay what ever his rates are. it really depends on how the contract is written and what is or is not included. if the contract was written by the local company it is probably ok. if it is through some national warranty company my bet is you are paying too much. i while back i had a customer ask me if they should renew their contract. they had spent $360 a year for ten years and got two quickie services a year out of the deal. if they had paid for the service calls they would have saved well over $2000 over the ten years. then when the unit did die the warranty company would not pay to get the equipment replaced with a comparable unit. they had one of tranes best systems and the company would only supply the cheapest equipment they could find! greg .
