Recommend a good Home Warranty company

I'm currently with Home Warranty of America, and they recently caused me some problems that I'm not happy about. My contract is up at the end of the month, so I'm looking to switch. I've also found that this is a pretty low rated company from some online searches. Anyone have some good recommendations?

I had Old Republic and I'm indifferent with them. Had them for 2 years and they fixed by bathroom vent that quit working with refurbished parts. I couldn't justify paying $500/year and I cancelled the warranty. The vent fan quit working again soon after that

They're all scams. Save your money.

American Home Shield did right by us. We bought an older house and kept it for about 3 years. For me, we came out on top, plus the peace of mind.
But, yeah, keeping it on year after year or taking one out on a new house is probably a losing proposition.

Have had good success with OneGuard. They have a nice service program you can use with a $60 copay.

Bought a house 5 years ago with a home warranty for one year tossed in. Didn't use it. Would have cost me around $2800 to keep it over the next 4 years. Paid cash for a new garage door opener and a new garbage disposal. Saved $2200 plus whatever service charge they would've tacked on.
Unless you anticipate an AC unit going out soon, I doubt it would be worth it.

I'd say it was worth it a few years ago. Now that AHS is not longer paying for freon (or whatever coolant is used in a/c nowadays), it's not really economical because they won't replace the unit.
Within the first three years though, I got one a/c unit replaced, a new water heater, and a new garbage disposal. I spent about $2000 total with AHS in those three years. I'd say I came out way ahead.
But my upstairs unit needs to be replaced, and AHS has not been so kind with helping me out. Seems like it goes out twice a year and each time, AHS sends a different repair company that claims the coolant is low and just adds some.

American Home Shield. Don't have any longer but wife had on two houses and every experience when they had to be used was a positive one.
