For the terminally un-handy, it may not be a bad idea as it includes
replacing bad switches and outlets, but how often does the wiring in
your breaker panel give trouble (assuming a relatively modern
installation)? Probably knob & tube wireing is not covered.


Absolutely! There are undoubtedly all sorts of conditions and restrictions stated in these contracts. I would imagine that houses beyond a certain age will not be covered at all, but that is buried in the fine print and the consumer is responsible for spotting and acknowledging it. They would probably let you sign up and pay, even though your house could NEVER receive any benefits.
