This was accomplished the day after calling the Contractor with my best guess as to the problem with the existing furnace. Contractor contacted the furnace manufacture to obtain warranty information as the heat exchanger was covered under manufacture warranty. The estimate to install the replacement hear exchanger was in the $1,000.00 range. Contractor stated that the value of the heat exchanger being provided under warranty was $250.00 and I would be responsible for the freight cost to ship it to Alaska. The Contractor also explained that when completed I would still have parts in the furnace that were 14 years old and subject to failure in the future. After calling to obtain that cost of shipping, which was estimated to be $265.00, it became more cost effective to replace the furnace with a new model. Contractor was able to accomplish this in far less time than repairing the existing furnace. As we are still in the winter months it was important to restore the heating function in the house. The contractor call that evening after the installation was completed to check on how the furnace was functioning. The very next day it began to short cycle and within 2 hours of calling Contractor he came to see what needed to be adjusted. The 14 year old thermostat was the main cause of the short cycle problem. We will replace the thermostat to solve this problem. Also noteworthy is the fact that the Contractor was able to get the original furnace manufacture to provide an extended warranty on the new furnace (also made by same manufacture) which has an equivalent value to that of the warranted heat exchanger. Thus I received something of value for the warranted item. This was undertaken by the Contractor on his own, not requested by me. This is a step beyond that is certainly appreciated by the home owner.
They were awesome. They extended the warranty by the manufacturer from the previous owner by one month to save us $2500. I dont know what the other review was about but I have worked with Statewide for 7 years and they have out 930 boilers like mine innin Eagle River with a gas bill of no...

FAQs for home warranty projects in Juneau, AK
Many benefits come with buying a home warranty when selling your home, but there are drawbacks to consider, too.
Pros
Peace of mind of home repair coverage
Incentive for buyers
Transferability to new owners
Prevent post-sale issues
Cons
Expensive cost
Exclusions of certain features or appliances
Coverage limits
Often difficult to understand
Potential wait for claim service
On average, a home warranty costs about $1,100, ranging from $80 to $8,300, depending on your home size and its features, type of home warranty plan, and the coverage included. Your home’s location also factors into the cost of a home warranty, with areas with a higher cost of living experiencing increased warranty costs.
Additional cost to consider include:
Deductibles: $75–$125 per call
Add-ons: $2–$35 per month
Premiums: $200–$1,200 per year
Several factors make a home warranty worth it or not, especially the age of your home and the condition and age of the appliances in it. If you buy an older home with most or all original appliances, a warranty may be worth the investment as these home features are more likely to need repairs or replacements. However, if you’re buying a new-construction home, a warranty may already be included, and you may not need to use it for several years. In this case, purchasing add-ons may not be worth the cost until a few years later.
Offering a home warranty when selling can make your property more appealing to potential buyers. The warranty gives them peace of mind that many systems or appliances will be covered if they need to be repaired or replaced in the near future. Additionally, the home warranty may cover problems that arise during the home sale, such as a leaky roof or water in the basement.
The main types of home warranties cover the basic essentials, but additional plan types focus on specific areas such as:
Appliance plan: This plan covers typical household appliances like refrigerators, stoves, washer and dryer, built-in microwaves, and dishwashers. It costs $360 and $540 per year.
System plan: Costing between $360 and $540 per year, this plan covers central home systems like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and water heaters.
Combination plan: This plan type covers both systems and appliances, costing between $545 and $1,500.
