Share your home warranty experiences and thought.

Not sure if this is off topic, but it still relates to houses. Did you or have you had any past experience with home warranty issues? I am about to purchase one but not sure if they are good or just another scam. Please share you opinions and experiences. Realtors, pls also share your preferences since you should have a lot of buyers complaints about some warranty companies, right. Thanks.

Was with a home warranty program for years. A few years ago I had a problem with my fridge which they related to my ‘lack of maintenance’ – I disagreed & said I’d like 2nd opinion to which they agreed; however, they then refused my calls re: follow-up appt.

I made my own appt. for 2nd opinion & they agreed that issue was not due to my ‘lack of maintenance’.

Anyway, I took home warranty co. to small claims & was awarded my fees & $850.

I’ve not had home warranty since – annual cost is prohibitive; $$ fee to have person come to home & must read SMALL PRINT of contract b/c they will try to jimmy out.

Saw flyer which stated firm wanted $55 for service calls. Then they replace washers, etc instead of replacing faucet, they try to get out of replacing parts. Buy only if you have 20 year old water heater(cost for WH is now over $700) or other major appliance that is way past shelf life.
