You want to protect your most important investment: your home. And utilizing one of those Home Warranty companies may seem like a smart move, but there are pros and cons you should be aware of. Let’s start with the advantages…well, one advantage, anyway.
Pros:
- Home warranties can provide an all in one company for heating, ac, plumbing and electrical.
Cons:
- You do not know if the person or company coming to your home is licensed, background checked or drug tested.
- You don’t know if the person or company that is being sent to your home is insured or bonded.
- Depending on your coverage, warranty plans can limit or exclude several parts of your plumbing system.
- Scheduling appointments, dealing with warranties, payment, or verification of work can be a lengthy process.
- Not all home warranty companies offer service professionals in your area, so the service you want may not even be available to you.
- 24 hour emergency service may or may not be offered depending on your home warranty company’s policies. Not a great comfort when the water is rising!
