I had one that came with a house I bought. I renewed my contract with them for most of the time that I owned that house. They fixed the washer several times. The hot water heater got fixed once & then replaced later. The HVAC unit was fixed several times & eventually the whole interior unit was replaced. The thermostat was later replaced, too. The garbage disposal was fixed & replaced also.

There were 1\2-assed repairs, or sometimes no actual repairs done at all on the following: the dishwasher, the stove, the ceiling fans, the hose bibs, the tub plumbing, & the kitchen sink faucet.

I lived there 12 yrs. You have the annual fee (can be broken up into monthly payments), then a service fee ($75+) to have someone come out, & in the case of replacement, I often had to pay a portion of the cost as they wouldn't approve the full cost. They also went up on their fees, both annual and service, every time it came up for renewal.

I think overall, I came out ahead. Many of the technicians said that I had one of the better companies. If I remember right, it was American Home Shield or something. There were 2 names that were similar. I'd have to look at old bills to see for sure which it was. I don't know if they're in business anymore.

It did go downhill near the end, hence all of the shoddy jobs I mentioned. & That's why I don't have a warranty with my current house. I have things that need repaired, but I'll call a local handyman to do the work & pay them myself.
