Hi, I need to understand the new Trane Extended Warranties (Dec 2013). I want to have a 10 year zero deductible warranty--Parts and Service. What is the closest version to this that is still available? I understand that they are now underwritten by outside third-party. I know that they are more expensive. However, I want to know that it is still available (trane website says it is). We are thinking about selling our home, and have a 6-month old Trane system in it. THANKS!

Is my computer monitor going out ~ Yes ~ and if so, can I just buy a new monitor and not the whole new computer? ~ Yes ~ But...when you go to buy the new monitor...take the info about your desktop with you to make sure that there's no compatibility issues between your computer and the new monitor. There shouldn't be a problem...but I tend to be cautious about such things. :-) Anne
