A home warranty can save you money by helping to keep important appliances and home systems running smoothly at a much less expensive cost. A residential home warranty is a contract between a new or existing homeowner and a home warranty company that provides for repair and replacement service on a home’s major units, appliances, and systems due to such events as normal wear and tear, mechanical breakdown, and aging.
Residential home warranty pricing and plans depend on the items selected as a part of the policy. A plan can include, but is not limited to, major appliances such as:
Refrigerator
Range/Oven/Cooktop
Dishwasher
Built-in Microwave
Garbage Disposal
Kitchen Exhaust Fan
