She is getting a home warranty paid for by seller

Good luck getting those thieves to pay for a new system. They'll either patch it together to get through the year or soak you for a new coil or compressor when the other part goes out, telling you that only the part that failed is covered but they both have to be changed to the new r410 refrigerant at the same time.

Also, the warranty company will tell you that there are no records that the A/C unit was regularly maintained and deny the claim. I had the same issue when I bought my house, but felt somewhat secure with the warranty. After the first year, I continued the warranty for three more years. The A/C went out, claim denied b/c I couldn't verify the maintenance record PREVIOUS to my ownership.
