    AC Compressor
    The AC unit in my house is 25 years old, and it's not big enough for the size of our house, it is also not very energy efficient. We have a home warranty that we got when we bought our house and it’s due to expire in a couple of months. Is there something we can do to “break” the compressor so the warranty replaces it?

    I do not recommend trying that. Insurance fraud is a Federal offence with jail time.
