Which just gets you in and ugly cycle of constantly needing things fixed or replaced. You've spent $3700 on that warranty so far when you could have gotten new appliances and installed them yourself (seriously it's not that hard). <br /><br />New electric water heater = $300 ($500 if gas)<br />New belt garage door opener = $150<br />($90 if chain)<br />New decent washer & dryer = $1300 (can easily spend more if you want)<br /><br />Total = $1750<br /><br />That's $1950 less than what you've spent and you're still stuck with the old machines.<br /><br />Basic fixes are really easy to do too. A little research will get you a long way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18805568.post-8737904373019065182010-02-04T13:23:29.934-08:002010-02-04T13:23:29.934-08:00be honest...how hunky were your repair guys ever?be honest...how hunky were your repair guys ever?CarleeKajsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703204293632684852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18805568.post-12024143243213585292010-02-04T10:30:04.920-08:002010-02-04T10:30:04.920-08:00We had a home warranty, but we ended up not renewi...We had a home warranty, but we ended up not renewing because we used them once, and not only did the guy install the new garbage disposal wrongly, he also gave us a garbage disposal that was the absolute cheapest on the market, (worth way less than the original one) and cost only about $50.

I've recently had issues with my ice maker in my freezer. It turns out that I need to replace the entire mechanism, which is going to cost me $117. None of my appliances are under warranty because I bought my condo on a short sale and the owner/bank didn't feel like giving me a home warranty (probably because they knew part of my freezer was busted, those snakes). I've heard from acquaintances that Sears actually has a good appliance warranty, and your appliances don't even have to be purchased from Sears. Just a thought!Katie Mauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051553124994827795noreply@blogger.com
