If you are thinking about purchasing a home warranty, FORGET ABOUT IT! I got one with my home recently and the heat went out over winter. They referred me to the fine print in my contract stating I should have properly maintained my heating system the 5 months I lived there. Not to mention it was the motor that went out...how the hell am I supposed to maintain a motor?!??!
Long story short, the money you save NOT purchasing a home warranty you should stick in an emergency savings account. Add to it a little bit every month so when something does happen, you won't have the sick feeling of knowing you paid "x" amount of dollars for your home warrenty + $55 for a service fee only to find out they won't cover your item (meaning you are out WAY more money than the cost of fixing it yourself.
Am I bitter? HELL YEAH I'M BITTER.
I reported AHS to the Better Business Bureau, only to be referred to the fine print of my contract.
Don't be the sucker I once was!
