Home warranty is similar to service contract. It’s typically last one year. Home warranty service is not to replace home insurance, but to complete. Home warranty needed when repair costs are not covered by home insurance. Having both home insurance and home warranty, will give you a lot of benefits. Of course you also have to spend a little bit more money. One of the sample services are from American Home Shield.

The warranty for home doesn’t have to be on a new house. The age of the house doesn’t matter. But the covered items that will be registered to the warranty are must in good working condition.

You must ask for all of copy of the home warranty contract before you sign it. Double check to make sure that all home appliances and home systems are already covered. Also ask the customer service contact (email and phone number), so that if there is a problem or a question you can ask immediately.
