The heater (natural gas, forced air) went out on us about 5 months after. We got like 1300 covered and had to pay 900 in labor for replacement -- they didn't cover labor, only the hardware.

I spent a total of 10 (!!!) Hours on hold with them but that was worth it to get it covered. We also had to go through contractors almost 75 miles away, but they were actually fantastic and did a great job. I assumed it was a scam for a while. I think ahs charged like 500 a year and they endlessly harassed me to renew but we got our money's worth with the install. With the roof leak it wasn't worth the time on hold. Most stuff is going to age and you're better off saving that 500 a year to replace with better, not equivalent stuff. I'm glad we had it though, I had just bought an engagement ring too so my bank account was close to zero.

I think after a year with these guys I likely won't renew it again. I got it mainly for the Ac since I KNEW it was going to go out, but the other stuff I can pretty much cover with cash. Things like the fridge (ours is new anyways), washer/dryer... My plans were to replace the ac and then start saving for a new roof and the try to get solar panels on the back. AHS won't cover anything like that. So I figured new Ac, new roof, insides totally updated with new fridge, dishwasher, toilets, vanities... We've done a lot of that. That should put a little extra value in my home if I decide to sell.
Yeah after a year maybe 2 it's not worth it. They will also only replace the hardware and won't cover labor. So you're getting the equivalent of however old and inefficient your old shit is plus covering the labor to install it which of.course the guys will probably mooch on since they know it's covered. It was also a massive massive headache, we are lucky it happened in early November and not in January when our pipes could have frozen and all that.
