Well our heros at Apollo Heating & Venting came today and installed our brand new Lennox furnace today. This morning we woke up to a house temperature of around 55 degrees. Yes, it was quite cold. I think tonight we’ll be setting the thermostat to like, 75… just because we CAN.

Oh, and I’m going to take this moment to tell you how EVIL and TERRIBLE the company First American Home Buyers Protection Corporation REALLY is. When you buy their home warranty you really aren’t buying a whole lot in terms of protection; if you don’t read the fine print you’ll most certainly find out when you try to make a claim. So with our whole furnace fiasco, the previous residents didn’t follow through with the recall set out by the manufacturer — the previous owners were contacted but no one ever followed through. So the furnace breaks down essentially because of their neglegence and the warranty WON’T cover it. I thought the warranty was to protect us?

I guess not. So if you’re considering First American Home Buyers Protection Corp for the home warranty, think again. If you want a bad home owners warranty, you could try them. But I’d look elsewhere, someplace that does cover some of the prior owners’ neglegence.

Anyway. So we got the new furnace installed and everything’s running GREAT. It’s so nice to have a warm home again.

   Heh… welcome to the world of “Home Warrenty Rip-offs”. Been there, done that. They hardly cover anything, and what they do cover they usually find a way to wiggle out of.
