Clark Howard, the consumer's advocate, tells people on the radio to never buy a warranty. Usually, the salesman who pushes the warranty gets a big commission for doing so.

One weekend or holiday service call on overtime for labor alone can cost you more than the entire service contract if you can even get someone to come out.
I would say most of us have home and car insurance and the contract is just basically insurance against the chance of your AC going down at the worst possible time.
