[quote=Fearful][quote=svelte]I’ve only talked to one person who has used a home warranty successfully. He had been in his place a few months in RB when the furnace went out. He did indeed get a new furnace for free.[/quote]
The only problem with that is that the warranty company buys the absolute minimum furnace and pays the installer the absolute minimum. Thus you get a shoddy replacement and shoddy – or at least minimalist – workmanship. The service company is also usually disgruntled because they dislike dealing with the warranty company.[/quote]
Perhaps, but you get a brand new furnace FOR FREE to replace one that is likely 20-30 years old. That can tide you over for awhile.
After all, you didn’t have a brand new furnace when you bought the place, right?
It all depends upon if you see the glass half full or half empty.
