What is the best home warranty?
Oct 17th, 2008 by DougP
We are buying a 1930’s wood home in Miami and we have been told that it would be a good idea to get a home warranty. Which company is the best to go with? We are looking for complete coverage to cover basics to appliances, but we would also like a good deal.
Don’t go with American Home Shield
We had them last year and it was horrible
I recommend doing big research before buying one
The one we had looked good on paper, however after trying to use it we learned it wasn’t as good as we thought
We had a leak in our bathroom. We called the warranty co who sent a repairman out the next day. He diagnosed the problem and then the warranty co. said they didn;t cover it (it was a shower pan) Come to find out the repairman had misdiagnosed it completely. I fought with the warranty co. for hours over this. I ended up paying a plumber myself to come fix it even though it should have been covered
this is just 1 occurrence of many-Beware of these warranty companies. Reading their packet, I thought they covered almost everything, however things like a shower pan are not covered
It really is worth investigating before spending your money

In my experience, they are a waste of money. They cover very little, and the procedures for repayment are next to impossible. If you want to purchase one, I would suggest extensive research.
