Hey CT,

I now you'll get a lot of advice on this both ways, but I always
advise being very careful with these third-party companies.

I've been in the appliance service business for 32 years, and my
experience with them has ALL been negative. I've seen these co's
come and go, and they often don't cover many common problems.
Keep in mind they're in the insurance business, not the repair
business, so dealing with them can really be frustrating.

Many of the service companies that need the work badly enough
to contract with them are not going to supply you with the best
quality service, as a general rule.

Before you decide, read the 'fine print' (if there is any). If you're
at all 'handy', it usually will save you money to ditch this type of
coverage and address problems as they come up.

That's my $.02. Probably about what it's worth grin.

God bless,

Hi,

We got a house last year and we got a home appliance warranty with
american home shield which is about to expire now. They are asking us
to renew the warranty.

I was wondering whether it is common or recommended to have a home
appliance warranty. This warranty covers oven, range, plumbing,
dishwasher, microwave, electricals, garbage, hvac, water heater. Any
of these going wrong is unlikely but it happening cud set me back
which is quite a lot.

please let me know your opinions.

confused,

CT.
