The cost of the warranty extension is $475, Canadian funds. But it
comes not from the manufacturer nor from the dealer but from an
insurance company. I'm probably going to go for it, but need to find
out some details first. For instance, if I sell the house, the
warranty should go with the furnace. That's completely logical, but it
wouldn't surprise me if the insurance company had it different. Given
the uncertainties and high parts cost of these high tech units, I think
that $475 is a great price to increase the labour warranty from one
year to 10 years, and the parts warranty from 5 years to 10 years.
And, no, when I buy a TV or a stereo component, I *never* take the
extended warranties they offer.

Yeah, I don't buy extended warranties on anything, but I wanted it for
this given what labor costs can be on an invasive part failing. Who
knows if it'll pay off.
