Funny you mention this. I had an hvac contractor at my house (NOT MUNN'S or FRANK GAY!) and we were talking about service contracts and his words were "Don't ever let anybody try to sell you any kind of service contract on a water heater!"
For the exact reason that you mention. Sadly, many elderly fall for it and the con artists around here bank on that.
