			This, and you get the least competent technicians
they can find. It's like these companies go out of their way to find people
that failed votech school.

When we had the plan, we had an issue with the heating system. When we
called, the guy asked us the outside temperature. When I said that it was 50
degrees, he said that we would be put on a low priority because it wasn't
cold enough. I asked him where he was. He said he was in Colorado. I told
him that I was in L. A. and that homes in L. A. are not as well insulated as
homes in Colorado, and that 50 degrees is cold for L. A.

When we bought our house, the sellers included appliance insurance.
During the first year in the house, the washer, dishwasher and refridgerator
all stopped working.  We did not get enough money from the plan to even buy
1 appliance.  Their claim was that they would only cover up to the value of
the appliance.  Well all were 10 or more years old, so worth little to
nothing.

When we purchased our home, the previous owner paid for such a plan for us
for one year. We had experiences similar to what is noted below.
Needless to say, we didn't renew the plan. Also, like any kind of
maintenance agreement, if nothing goes wrong, you're just handing them
money.

				I'd be careful with these programs. 
We had one once and it took forever for them to resolve the issue. Our air
conditioner broke and they came out to fix it. They couldn't and instead of
replacing it, they kept coming back to replace parts, one day at a time.
Thismeant that someone had to be home and live without a functioning
appliance. Finally they did replace the unit but it took literally all
summer. 
A friend of mine had an oven that broke. It took weeks for them to replace
the oven. Yes, she got an oven "for free" but what she didn't factor in was
all the eating out they had to do, plus the monthly fee to the warranty
company. 
Another friend had an appliance break. Her husband was deployed and she has
five children. She's married if that matters to anybody. The company tried
to accuse her son of breaking the appliance. He hadn't. 
Realize that with these companies, you get what they give you. You don't get
a choice in the appliance.

Hi Andy,
It's like a warranty for your home. You pay them so much a month and if
things like your heating or air systems, refrigerators, dish washers,
washer/dryer and other appliances break down, they will fix or replace them
for a small one time service fee. It also covers plumbing, but you must be a
home owner to get it.
