For many people, buying a home is a significant life event and financial venture, and it only makes sense for a buyer to want to protect that investment as much as possible. While homeowners insurance provides reimbursement for items damaged or lost as the result of events like fires or tornadoes, a home warranty covers the dwelling's internal systems and appliances if they break down. Here are a few advantages of a home warranty.

Why Should You Get a Home Warranty?

1. Savings

You can often save money with a warranty, which is no small benefit after buying a home. Instead of paying for several parts and labor services, you only pay for the service call and the annual warranty premium. If the broken system or appliance needs replacement, you don't need to worry about paying for it. Items covered under the plan are replaced at no additional cost.

2. Prompt, Professional Repairs

They will send out a prescreened repair professional to address the issue. That means one phone call for all the systems and appliances covered by the warranty. The process is typically much faster, as well, eliminating the need for multiple estimates and shopping around for the right repair service.

3. Appliance Protection

Home insurance covers costs associated with specific damaging events, but a warranty covers the costs of both breakdowns and normal wear and tear. This adds a level of protection for your appliances and the internal components of your home.

A warranty plan's coverage is also much more comprehensive than standard homeowners insurance, with covered items typically including stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, garage doors, and even vacuum cleaners.
