A story appeared in a local newspaper this month. It described one of the scams Home Warranty companies use to squeeze more hard earned dollars out of their unsuspecting customers. In this scam the customer is offered a new air conditioning unit under their warranty, but part of the deal is paying an exorbitant fee to dispose of the old compressor. The reason for this fee, they are told, is that because of the nasty hazardous Freon. What they are not told is that the Freon has to be drained as part of the dismantling procedure. They are also not told that recycling companies pay good money for old compressors. Check out this link for the story:
