re: Homeowners of the OT: Home warranties

I think they are great when purchasing, but after that highly factually specific and you need to read the terms closely. For example, mine had a clause that to had to get A/C inspected each spring/fall or warranty was void. That said I rode mine until my A/C went out because I knew it was dying and got all new inside guts (outside unit still same). Some have reimbursement limits too and they will come out and pop you each time for the service charge and do the least expensive repair even if it takes a couple of times to finally fix it. Had to have them come out like 3-4 times to where they finally said frick it and replaced my A/C. All told cost me a couple of hundred but way less than I would've. Cancelled it after that though.
