Spent $400 on a home warranty and it was a total waste

I bought a plan last year thinking it would cover my old furnace. When it died in January, the warranty company sent a tech who said the part wasn't covered. I still had to pay $800 out of pocket for the fix. The whole process took two weeks of calls and waiting in a cold house. Has anyone actually had a good experience with one of these, or are they all just a scam?

Home warranties are basically a subscription service for disappointment. You pay them to send someone out to tell you why they won't pay. My experience was the same script, just a different broken appliance. It's like they make the rule book after your thing breaks.

Remember when they tried to sell those for cars? Same exact scam.
