Home warranties rule then. For $50 someone would come out at any hour to fix it.

[ice grillin you]

is the home warranty free?

[Sgt PSN]

I think that gets negotiated into the contract when you buy.  There also may be warranties on individual appliances that might still be valid when you purchase if the home wasn't new construction.  In short, this is a question you should have asked prior to closing. 

[PhillyGirl]

You have to renew it yearly, but it pretty much pays for itself every year.

Washing machine broke? Costs $50 to have someone come out and fix it, if they can't fix it, you get a new one.

Hot water heater crapped out? $50, new one.

A/C dead? $50 and you get it fixed or a brand new one.

how much is the home warranty per year?

other than car warranties i have never come across a warranty that paid for itself

[PhillyGirl]

I am not sure if we got a good deal because we got it WHEN we bought the house and the renewal is each year? The deductible also looks like it has gone up since we bought it.

Google it for your area.

I meant gone up for those who buy NOW as opposed to the price we got locked into.

in my experience it just isnt worth it since i rarely if ever have had a problem with my houses

yeah it would save me a couple bucks tomorrow when my ac gets looked out...but then ill go ten years without a single issue

 we got AHS for 450 a year, figured the first two years would cover the bullshtein of buying a 10 year old house

Trailer homes come with warranties.  Unfortunately they don't come with a/c units.

As an environmentalist, I refuse to turn the air on until the outside temperature hits triple digits

[Yeti]

I turn mine on when it gets above 70

I live in the freakin' Everglades.  My AC is never off.

BERWICK, Pa. – For one group of central Pennsylvania eighth-graders, a recent field trip to Baltimore included lunch at Hooters — a restaurant better known for its busty waitresses than its food.

The Berwick Middle School students were visiting the National Aquarium last week. Chaperones took them to various restaurants for lunch because the group of 100 was too large for a single place.

The Bloomsburg Press Enterprise reports Tuesday that one group of 15 to 20 students ended up at Hooters.

Superintendent Wayne Brookhart says that while he wishes the group's coed chaperones had chosen another restaurant, he has not received any complaints from parents.

Hooters spokesman Mike McNeil says the restaurant chain often hosts groups, including sports teams and church organizations with teens and younger children.

lol

When will a parent sue?
