What is a Home Warranty?

If you’re like many people searching for a home for sale in Lake City, you’ve heard of a home warranty – but what is that, and do you need one?

A home warranty is a lot like a vehicle warranty. You pay a warranty company to take care of issues that arise before the term of the warranty has expired. It’s different from homeowners insurance, which covers damages and loss caused by disasters or break-ins; a home warranty covers wear and tear and breakdowns.

What Does a Home Warranty Cover?

Every home warranty policy is different, so make sure you ask about coverages before you sign the dotted line.

How Does a Home Warranty Work?

If something breaks in your new home and it’s covered by your home warranty, you call the warranty company. They’ll charge you a service call fee (how much it’ll be should be outlined in your contract) and send out a local professional. Then, labor and parts are typically covered – but again, make sure before you buy a home warranty.
