Default Is there such a thing as a "good" home warranty company?

I have read so many bad things (customer complaints) about dozens of home warranty companies it makes me wonder if any company who sells them is really on the up and up.

As a soon to be TV homeowner (don't know where yet) I am wondering if they have any real value.

R.E. Agents say "don't worry about buying a home with an old A/C (or whatever) just buy a home warranty because they will replace it if it breaks."

I am not so naive to believe that and I know for a fact that is not true. They will make dozens of attempted repairs (with $xx$ deductible) before they finally give in.

Is there a home warranty company that actually has a GOOD reputation for being fair and honest? Everything I have read says that "fair and honest" should not be used in the same sentence as "home warranty companies."


Any opinions on either side of that argument?
