I don't know the answers to those questions, but I would want to know before going the self install route. I guess at those prices you could buy a complete spare unit and still be ahead, but seems like a waste.
Depends on the seller / maker. My units were certified by an HVAC guy which puts them under warranty. If you buy products that target self install they have methods figured out.
