Any a you wise up to give advice on home warranties- specifically HVAC replacements?

Around. Seems like everytime I check in here nothing is going on. Figured many were paying for super thread/forum posting, which I will never do

Yeah, I am the same way... not paying for anything extra ( not that I do not appreciate what has been given us here but I am just an old cheap ass bastard ) and as along as everybody keeps showing up for football season I will be here. Hell I am not even sure what is offered for a paying member vs a freebie like me, but then again no one has asked me to join anything other than the politics forum so *shrug*

Just the off-season. Nothing going on in the other forum
 
As an insurance guy that hears warranty horror stories every day. I just about never recommend them. Because generally they have too many easy outs in most of them.

HVAC is just one of those 'bones' of the house that you have to bite the bullet and have right. What it costs is what it costs and usually worth every penny when you consider what you are doing with it. I am lucky in that just about every close friend I have is in that world and gets me good deals. But I will say from talking to them. That they have been getting raked over the coals up here for both new heater prices from the manufacturer and new AC prices. Just supply and demand economics. One of my closest life long friends runs a small family owned HVAC company up here and they do millions in sales both in res and commercial. And he was just telling me that he finally got done looking over numbers last year. And higher end units that they usually offer for new home builds, had a total of 7 pricing changes over the course of 1 year. When pre-Covid they saw maybe 1 a year and worst case scenario a second pricing update 6 months in.
