Should home warranty be covering the filter dryer
First American Home Warranty is replacing my compressor under my plan. As part of that there are always extra charges labeled as "modifications" usually to change the layout of the connections to something, extra labor, etc etc.
But I'm looking at the invoice and what I'm being charged for, and what is "optional" from the contractor doing the work, and it seems like there is an extra line item on there for changing out the filter dryer. I'd think if you're vacuuming out the lines, and changing the compressor you'd almost HAVE to replace that. Otherwise you're just going to introduce potential contaminants into the system when you recharge it after replacement.
Is it just a standard "optional" line item on all their invoices, or am I getting hosed here because the warranty isn't paying for something that clearly should be replaced along with the compressor?
UPDATE:
While they did replace the filter dryer, did a full nitrogen purge, pulled a vacuum for a good 15-20 minutes, as they should, new compressor didn't fix the issue sadly. It works for a few minutes but seems there's blockage either at the TXV, or there's blockage somewhere else in the evap coil. Compressor eventually disables itself.
The good news is, First American has order a new 5 tonne system to replace it. I still have some OOP costs, new unit is a Payne (Never heard of them but I guess it's Carrier's value line?) so for my costs, this is an acceptable outcome.
