[quote=Anonymous]The quality of the vast majority of the contractors they work with is just atrocious. Their goal is to get the cheapest labor as possible and they payout insanely low rates. Most of the time it isn't even worth the $75 service fee you have to pay (which is about as low as it gets; sometimes the service fee is $100 or $125). You're getting the worst people who are taking the home warranty company work because they don't have their own customers. Occasionally you may get a decent person/company just starting out that needs the work.

When you factor in the yearly premium plus service fees, it is rarely worth it for the garbage contractors and atrocious customer service. It is so much easier to just deal directly with respectable, competent contractors of your choosing, and pay a little more for the quality when you need it.

In my opinion, the only time it is worth it is if you get a major system or appliance entirely replaced under the warranty, like a new HVAC system. I assume that happens extremely rarely.[/quote]
