Their replacement dollar amount for a unit is a maximum of $3000. I believe that this is a reasonable amount for the damages I incurred, by being forced to purchase a ne Additional information Date problem first occurred: 7/31/2009 Product or service: the company offers a service contract for air conditioners.
