Home Warranty for Home Buyers
Buying a home? A home warranty is one of the simplest ways to protect your budget in your first year of ownership — exactly when an unfamiliar furnace, water heater, or set of appliances is most likely to surprise you.
When you buy a home, you inherit systems and appliances of unknown age and history. A home inspection tells you their condition today, but not when they'll fail. A home warranty fills that gap: if a covered item breaks down from normal use, your plan helps cover the repair or replacement, so a rough first year doesn't blow up your savings.
It's also common for a home warranty to be part of the deal — a seller or agent may offer to cover the first year as an incentive. Either way, coverage means that when something breaks, you file one claim, pay one flat service fee, and let a licensed technician handle the fix.

- Is a home warranty the same as homeowners insurance?
- No. Insurance covers sudden damage from events like fire or storms; a home warranty covers the everyday breakdown of your systems and appliances from normal wear and tear. Most homeowners keep both.
- What does a plan cover?
- Plans typically cover major systems — heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing — plus everyday appliances, with optional add-ons for items like pools, well pumps, and septic systems. Exact coverage depends on the plan you choose.
- How does a claim work?
- When a covered item breaks down, you file a claim 24/7, a licensed local technician from the plan's network is dispatched, and you pay one flat service fee per visit while your plan covers the covered repair or replacement, up to its terms.
