June 20, 2019 A home warranty (also known as a home protection plan or home service plan) provides repair and replacement coverage for your home’s major appliances or systems. Many homeowners define home warranty coverage as an optional or “nice to have” feature, but when one or two major appliances or systems malfunction, it can quickly change their perspective.
According to The National Association of Realtors, there is a 60% chance that at least one key home system or appliance will fail in any year — and that average repair cost will be $900. Factor in how long you plan to stay in your home, how long its appliances and systems were there before you moved in and Murphy’s law — you’ll realize that the average cost to keep your home running can add up quickly. That’s where home warranties come in handy.
A home warranty plan will cover the repair or replacement of your major appliances, such as refrigerators, dishwashers and clothes washers and dryers, and built-in systems, such as air conditioning, heating, electrical and plumbing will be covered.Homeowners pay a monthly premium and a one-time service fee, or deductible, anytime something breaks down. The home warranty plan should cover the rest of the cost to repair or replace the item in question.
