Choosing the best home warranty plan

More homeowners are now choosing to buy a home warranty plan as a way to financially protect their home’s appliances, electronic devices, and home systems. A 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 age. Because not all home warranty plans are equal, it is important to know how to get the best warranty plan that fits your needs and budget.

The following is a list of tips to help you get a home warranty plan that guarantees peace of mind.

Home Appliance and System Inventory

Before you get a home warranty plan, do an inventory of all of the items you would like covered. Check the age and condition of each item to see if they may possibly break down in the near future. Also, check to see if any of the items are still under manufacturer’s warranty.

Research Home Warranty Providers

Once you know what items need coverage, look into several trusted and experienced home warranty companies.  Compare premiums, what they offer in the form of warranty plans such as bundled warranty packages, electronic packages, extended warranties for a single item, customized plans, and optional add-ons with your base plan to help you build the plan that best fits your needs. Also, you should find out if there is a term limit, contract terms and condition, exclusions, when coverage begins, and their repair technician services. For claims, a good warranty provider will allow claim submission via an online claim form and phone lines. Read the company’s reviews and ratings provided by Home Warranty Reviews and check out their Better Business Bureau rating.

Assess Repair and Service Technicians 

It is important to make sure the home warranty company you select has qualified and trusted repair and service technicians. They should be local, licensed, pre-screened, pre-qualified home warranty service technicians. They should also have a customer contact number with agents available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As well, find out the provider’s emergency response time.

Request Free Quote
