There are several components that potential home buyers, especially those new in real estate, need to know and understand. Making the right investment does not end with home purchase after all. It is important to consider other valuable elements that help in facilitating a worry-free living condition for new home owners such as home warranty. Several conditions and unexpected events may happen inside the house no matter how new your property is, therefore it certainly helps to be sure rather than sorry at the end.
Why is it important to purchase home warranty?
Home warranty is a policy that ensures a home owner’s protection against house maintenance and repairs, especially during the first year of occupancy. Home warranty has a wide scope of coverage depending on the policy that the home owner purchased. There are basic components in the house that are covered by home warranty such as furnace or heating system, air conditioning or cooling system, appliances such as dishwashers, ceiling fans and other electrical systems. Others in this category are doorbells, ductworks, range and ovens, telephone wiring, garbage disposals and plumbing stoppages in the house interiors.
There is a distinct difference between home insurance and home warranty that most home owners are confused with. Home insurance takes care of your concerns regarding house fires, theft and burglary and injuries incurred in your house or by a family member. On the other hand, home warranty covers house repair and maintenance as well as replacement and installation of malfunctioning appliances or home systems.
How does it work?
The process of availing your home warranty is quite simple, as long as you have a valid and qualified issue that the policy will cover. For instance, if you have systems malfunction or appliances in your house that needs to be repaired, you may call your home warranty company. They will give you a service provider to fix the problem and cater to your needs. If ever there are appliances that are beyond repair, the company may pay for the replacement of the appliance, depending on the coverage of the policy you purchased. In cases when your issue is denied of payment, it may be because of improper maintenance, improper installation, code violations and the like.
Finding the right home warranty company requires home owners to make their own research and if possible, ask their real estate agent for recommendations. Purchasing home warranty may initially cost $250-$400 which is paid in advance for a year. Home owners may renew their policies or it may expire after one year. There are several home warranty companies that offer special sales and discounted offers for home owners as part of their policy.
Securing your home and yourself from all inevitable instances that may affect your house is of utmost importance. Home warranty ensures that you are certainly protected from the losses and worries you will experience in case you need to repair your house or any malfunction happens. Thus, as early as during the closure of your transaction for home purchase, make sure you secured a reliable home warranty plan.
