What are Home Warranties?
A home warranty is a protection plan that covers major home system components, such as heating and cooling systems, plumbing, electrical systems, and appliances. It can help you avoid costly repairs and replacements when unexpected issues occur.
Benefits of Home Warranties
- Financial Protection: Home warranties can provide a financial safety net in case of unforeseen home system failures or wear and tear on major components.
- Convenience: With a home warranty, you won't need to worry about navigating complex repair processes or dealing with contractors and vendors separately.
- Extended Maintenance: Home warranties often include maintenance and repair services, extending the life of your appliances and systems.
