Early,
I would think that buying the warranty while everything is functioning is about right. It depends which coverage you take from AHS. We bought the basic package which does not include dishwasher, refridgerator, trash compactor, stove, etc, etc. We figured our AC/Heating units were the costliest to replace, next was plumbing and electrical. Like I stated earlier, our lower level furnace gave out and they came in took the whole unit out and replaced it (about 4K), no questions asked! They did a great job and we got a new unit.

Our experience thus far has been excellent with AHS. We have two separate heating and AC units (one upstairs), so for us it could cost 10K+ if we had multiple failures with very old AC units alone. Add older plumbing, hot water heater (already repaced by them), etc., and we have peace of mind and huge savings. AHS came through for us every time, so I am sold for what we pay for the protection. Anyways, if you ever decided to sell your home, having the warranty is a huge bargaining chip. If you do not go with AHS, at least try someone else. For home owners with older systems, its good insurance.
