I guess I've been lucky. The last 5 years my home warranty has repaired A/C condenser, front load washer, oven, plumbing work. Each time was a $65 deductible and that was it.We had that when we first moved in. We always insist on one year paid by seller when moving into a new (to us) house. The problem for us was with our pool pump. It broke down in the 1st 30 days we were here. They would not cover it because it was supposedly due to lack of maintenance. That would make sense if we had been there for awhile. We had something else fail in that first year, too. All I remember about that transaction is we had to pay the 'trip charge' which was 95% of the cost. I'm just glad I didn't pay (directly) for that 'service'.
Insurance is usually a good thing...extended or 3rd party warranties are more often a sucker's bet. Too many ways for them to decline.
My house is also 40 yo.
