Buyers Home Warranty

Home warranty coverage varies from company to company and depends on the package you select. There are plans that will cover systems such as HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. Appliances packages will cover your stove, refrigerator, built-in microwave, garage door opener, and washer/dryer. Combination plans that cover systems and appliances are available as well. Most companies offer add-ons for swimming pools, minor roof leaks, re-key service, septic tanks, and well pumps. If a covered item is beyond repair, the home warranty company will replace it. Defects discovered in the home inspection are considered pre-existing conditions. Pre-existing conditions are not covered by most home warranty companies. However, appliances or systems that are functioning properly during the home inspection, but are toward the end of their lifespan, will be protected in most cases. Systems or appliances that are installed incorrectly or are not properly maintained will not be covered.
