Learn About Home Warranties

Buying, selling or leasing your home can be stressful, especially if one of your home's systems or appliances breaks down unexpectedly. A home warranty covers costly home repairs and replacements due to normal wear and tear. It's not your homeowner's insurance policy; a home warranty is a separate contract covering repairs and replacements on systems in your home, usually for a period of one year.

Home warranties cover many, but not all, of your home's appliances and systems. Contract costs and coverage can vary widely, so always compare before purchasing. Home warranties cover many of your home's crucial systems and appliances, but they must be in working order before the contract is entered into with the warranty company. Make sure you have reviewed your contract and coverage before you need it to understand what is covered and what is not. When you buy a home warranty, consider premium and optional coverage to customize the plan to fit your needs.

When a home warranty is understood and utilized for its intended purposes, it can be the easiest way to save on home repairs and reduce the extra stress that comes with buying or selling a home. - See more at: http://www.kroegerproperties.com/Content.aspx?pid=98090
