It's usually sold to homeowners who want peace of mind knowing they're protected against unexpected maintenance or repair costs. The main features of a home warranty typically include: * Coverage for major systems, such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and roofing * Replacement or repair of broken or damaged components due to normal wear and tear * Specific exclusions and limitations, which may vary depending on the manufacturer and plan
