I agree with getting home warranty after getting a house, to cover items that wear out. This is true with houses that are older, or appliances which look older. Later on, save up and do it right. This way you won't get stuck with appliances you did not choose, but rather, the home warranty dept chose for you.
In our case, our 1981 house had its original water heater. Yes it made knocking sounds every time it was running. Called and $60 later, we have a brand new unit. Not bad, the guy did an amazing install. So far so good, it's been 4 years now.
