If the new owner wants new air it's HIS problem to fix it, as long as
you disclose that the central air is "there and functional for the
time being". (Assuming) You are selling the house at the price it
would sell for with no AC so if it works it's a bonus.
That is true, but. . . . . .
How does it really affect the selling price? Let's say the new unit is
$6000. What is the difference in selling price of the house with the old
unit versus a brand new energy efficient unit? Can you get your money back?
Many people seem to want to just move in and have everything perfect, not
have to lift a finger. I've watched a couple of TV shows where people
rejected a house because of ugly paint in a room. For $15 and an hour
labor, you get the color of your choice.
Anyone with any brains would never pay the cost of a newish
airconditioner more for a house just because it has a new ish air
conditioner. Putting a new one in under their name gets THEM the
warranty.
You have evidence that HVAC systems warranties are never
transferable? Or even typically not transferable?
Generally transfwerring ANY warranty is a hassle.. Not saying it's
impossible - but it is seldom done without issues - and many
warrantees are either to the original owner, or transferrable for a
fee
We just give the supplier the serial number off the equipment and they
look it up, even for equipment I didn't install. If it's in warranty,
they replace it. They don't usually ask the customer's name unless it's
something special.
