That's all good but you still pay $500-$1000 for labor and freon to replace the part.Trane for example has a 10 year warranty on parts.

Not in the counties in central Florida! My AC was inspected when the house was build in 1979 but the AC compressor and evaporator was been replaced about ten years and no permit or inspection was required. Also I added in a minisplit AC just over a year ago (by a licensed dealer) about a year ago and no permit or inspection was required. The AC installer even had a licensed electrician install a new 220 VAC line for that system and again no permit or inspection was required. I went and checked the building code myself and IIRC it only required a permit if you were installing a complete central AC system. My reading was that even if you're replacing major parts of the MAIN AC system, you're not required to get a permit or inspection and there is no permit or inspection needed for a secondary system even when installing a COMPLETE system.Pretty sure they need a permit and the county does a post sale inspection so it can't be too bad.
Don't even imagine that a city or county inspection is going to look for poor workmanship, poor quality or anything else. They're not!
I have a service contract for my two Trane heat pumps and I believe as long as I keep the service contract then the labor is free to replace any part under warranty.That's all good but you still pay $500-$1000 for labor and freon to replace the part.
They can't void your warranty from not having a PM done. Warranty is through the manufacturer not the service company.By service contract you mean they come out every 6 months for $100-$200 a visit to check and clean the filters and if you miss one inspection the warranty is void?
I pay about $300 a year for the service contract. It covers two visits and regular air filters. The filter for the Aprilaire media box filter is at cost.By service contract you mean they come out every 6 months for $100-$200 a visit to check and clean the filters and if you miss one inspection the warranty is void?
Having a service contract puts you in a relationship with an HVAC company. That helps when it's 100 degrees out on the evening of July 3rd and A/C breaks. The HVAC company will come to repair your HVAC in a reasonable amount of time vs next available appointment.

And labor for any part on the Trane heat pumps. Obviously if some duct needed repair that would be extra.
The company is employee owned.

In this day and age, jmoymmv, hand written like that is a lack of seriousness and professionalism.
