If only there was someone to call regarding the warranty that you or the previous owner has paid for.

contact your home warranty company, they will handle the rest.
Hopefully they send someone other than Sears (A&E)

You are no doubt on the right track by asking the OT.

Yes!
They informed me the system was improperly installed and would not pay for anything, after the $50 co-pay.
AHS

Had replaced last year with ahs. Old system had rusted heat chamber. They paid to replace and install new furnace. I had to pay for additional items to bring up to code since old until was about 20 years old. About $1000 out of pocket.

Call in a claim. Do it now so you can get on their techs schedule. A lot of times you can get next day service. They come out troubleshoot, and repair on the spot if they can. If there is a replacement required, they usually take care of it within a couple days. Be very careful about the required " code updates" from their contractors. Sometimes it's best to have them buy you out of the broken equipment.
I have AHS and had a rusted out a/c coil so in lieu of having it replaced with a new R22 coil plus the $500 in code updates I had them buy me out. I got a check for $1700 on a 17 year old system. Put in a new R410a set up for 6k.
Just had one of my water heaters go out. The ok'd the replacement but I needed 1k on "code updates". I told them no thanks and requested the buy out. They gave me $380 and I had a new one installed for $440.
I feel like I got my $600 worth on the policy.

my experience with home warranties is that they do save you a bit of trouble and effort. they have folks that they keep pretty busy, and can get them out quickly in an emergency.
the bad thing is that they typically push the technicians to do things as cheaply as possible and not necessarily the way that I would always do it...for instance, if your air conditioner leaks down, they may just have someone refill it with refrigerant instead of spending a day or two tracking down and repairing the leak.
