I had one on one house we bought, and my brother has had one. They are more important on an older house where things are likely to fall apart (A/C being a big one), but be aware that they are going to go the cheapest possible route, including fixing something that should really be replaced. If you don't have much money for home repair and are just going to need SOMETHING to get by, that is what they are good for.

If you have a 2-year-old home, you are better off putting the $500/year into the bank so that when something does go wrong, you can get it fixed right.
