No, it is an older home--no warranty. I did look at some literature on a warranty and decided against it because it wouldn't have covered the big stuff anyway.
I can probably take out a home equity loan for the heat pump/ac because there is some equity already built up, both from the down payment, and also because I was lucky to buy low just as the market was going sky high. Comparables in my neighborhood are going for about 30% to 40% higher. I just am a bit wary of the idea of borrowing--having been buried for years in consumer debt and student loans. But if I have to, I will. First I'll see if I can eke some more life out of the old unit without spending too much on maintenance.
