Not at all. Such home warranty policies will not cover all aspects of the home's systems and structures (roof, foundation, and so on).  Furthermore, such policies often have numerous exclusions and preexisting condition clauses that will not protect you in all cases.  That is not to say that such policies are a bad idea.  On the contrary, they can be a real asset if something covered by the policy should unexpectedly fail.  They are however, no substitute for a good home inspection.
