water heater out- have homeshield warranty

Just buy one

You got ripped the F off in the first place if someone sold you a device to heat hot water.

You'll pay for deductible and they will come fix it or replace it. If replaced they will probably replace it with an old used water heater Fyi

Most electric water heaters have 2 heating elements. It's not likely they both quit working at the same time. It's possible one was already not working. Otherwise, you have just one heating element or the problem is something simple.

You can't accurately check a breaker with an eye test. You should completely turn the breaker off and then back on.

how much do you pay per month, and for what services.

i have seen their commercials, but 99.999999999% of these type of companies end up having to go before a court, on criminal charges.

If you buy one urself, get an energy reduction one, not only did local electric company give me 300, but gas also gave me 300. It is classified as both, since some dealio has to be plugged in. And were saving pretty good money on it, monthly.

2 and a half years now

$58/month. I actually know the contractor that's been assigned my claim so that makes me feel better.

you should be ok with the warranty...the good thing about them is that you are generally not going to come out of pocket for more than the deductible, regardless of what the problem is.

the negative that I have seen is that the service personnel that come out to do the repairs are often pushed to just patch your junk to keep the thing running while a better way may be to go ahead and do more extensive repairs to prevent future callouts. for instance, my home warranty co wanted to keep adding Freon to my AC and charging me the deductible every time instead of having the leak found and fixed.

American Home Shield is legit.

It's a container that uses components to heat water. Unless the container fails (leaks), I see a repair in you future vs a replacement.
