The Benefits of Purchasing a Warranty for your Home

The home warranty is designed to cover many of the items and issues that your home insurance policy will not.  The most important advantage of purchasing home warranties is that the will provide the repair costs for items such as major appliances, HVAC systems, electrical systems, and plumbing systems, which will not be covered in the policy for standard homeowners insurance.

Please be aware that purchasing a home warranty is not a requirement of being a homeowner.  However, if you are trying to sell your house, a warranty may give the potential buyer some peace of mind in making a offer to purchase.

Typical item that may be covered by a home warranty:

  • Dish and Clothes Washers
  • Clothes Dryers
  • Ovens and Ranges
  • Refrigerators
  • Plumbing
  • Electrical Systems
  • HVAC Systems
  • Kitchen Disposals
  • Built-in Fans
  • Built-In Microwaves
  • Garage-Door Openers
  • Etc...

If some added protection and a little peace of mind in being a homeowner is what you are looking for, purchasing a home warranty may be a good decision.  Please remember to do some due diligence in researching policies to determine which items will or will not be covered.  Not all warranties are created equal and the pricing/coverage will differ depending on the provider.
