Cost and coverage

Which repair costs could coverage help with?

Air conditioning trouble can require a relatively inexpensive refrigerant service or a compressor replacement with several hours of labor. The larger compressor bill can affect whether a warranty pays for itself.

The 5 benchmarks in this category put parts between $294 and $1,600.

Modeled labor ranges from 0.6 to 10 hours. At the $148 median metro rate, that is roughly $89 to $1,476 before parts.

Compressor coverage does not automatically include leaks, refrigerant or every connected hose. Read how the agreement handles diagnosis and damage caused by an uncovered part.
