What is a Home Warranty?
A home warranty is a protection plan that covers the repairs and replacements of major appliances, systems, and components in your home. It's essentially an insurance policy for your household items.
How Does a Home Warranty Work?
A home warranty typically covers repairs and replacements for major appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, and washing machines. It usually lasts for a certain period of time (e.g., 1-3 years) and may have specific coverage limits.
- Home warranties often require you to register your account with the manufacturer or supplier
- You'll need to submit a service request through the warranty provider's website or mobile app
- The warranty provider will send a technician to diagnose and repair or replace the item
Why Should You Have a Home Warranty?
A home warranty can provide peace of mind and financial protection against costly repairs. It's especially useful for:
- First-time homeowners who may not have the budget for unexpected repairs
- Homeowners with high-end or luxury appliances that are expensive to repair or replace
- Those who want to avoid the hassle and stress of dealing with warranty providers
