What are the pros and cons of buying a home warranty?

<div>Many benefits come with buying a home warranty when selling your home, but there are drawbacks to consider, too. Pros<ul><li>Peace of mind of home repair coverage</li><li>Incentive for buyers</li><li>Transferability to new owners</li><li>Prevent post-sale issues</li></ul>Cons<ul><li>Expensive cost</li><li>Exclusions of certain features or appliances</li><li>Coverage limits</li><li>Often difficult to understand</li><li>Potential wait for claim service </li></ul></div>

How much does a home warranty cost?

<div>On average, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-home-warranty-cost.htm">home warranty costs</a> about $1,100, ranging from $80 to $8,300, depending on your home size and its features, type of home warranty plan, and the coverage included. Your home’s location also factors into the cost of a home warranty, with areas with a higher cost of living experiencing increased warranty costs. Additional cost to consider include:<ul><li>Deductibles: $75–$125 per call</li><li>Add-ons: $2–$35 per month</li><li>Premiums: $200–$1,200 per year</li></ul></div>

Are home warranties worth it?

<div>Several factors make a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-home-warranties-are-no-guarantee.htm">home warranty worth it</a> or not, especially the age of your home and the condition and age of the appliances in it. If you buy an older home with most or all original appliances, a warranty may be worth the investment as these home features are more likely to need repairs or replacements. However, if you’re buying a new-construction home, a warranty may already be included, and you may not need to use it for several years. In this case, purchasing add-ons may not be worth the cost until a few years later. </div>

Should I offer a home warranty when selling my house?

<div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-should-offer-home-warranty-when-selling-house.htm">Offering a home warranty when selling</a> can make your property more appealing to potential buyers. The warranty gives them peace of mind that many systems or appliances will be covered if they need to be repaired or replaced in the near future. Additionally, the home warranty may cover problems that arise during the home sale, such as a leaky roof or water in the basement. </div>

What types of home warranties are available?

<div>The main types of home warranties cover the basic essentials, but additional plan types focus on specific areas such as:<ul><li>Appliance plan: This plan covers typical household appliances like refrigerators, stoves, washer and dryer, built-in microwaves, and dishwashers. It costs $360 and $540 per year. </li><li>System plan: Costing between $360 and $540 per year, this plan covers central home systems like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and water heaters. </li><li>Combination plan: This plan type covers both systems and appliances, costing between $545 and $1,500.</li></ul></div>

"If you are ready to let go of plenty of money for work, then this is the place to call! The man that came out was courteous and polite and the work was good. Technician came out on a Saturday for weekend call and then had to return for a few hours on the following Monday. Total between 7-8 hours (included a trip to Raleigh from Creedmoor and back for a pump). We were charged an extra service charge on top of labor for the trip to get pump. The labor charge averaged out to a little more than $208 per hour. Company was called and bill was discussed. I was told that they do not charge by hour anymore, that they charge by the job and what work is done. (Replaced the pump, line and wire in well and tank). I was told that I would get a call back to discuss the bill, was called back the first time by the time that was stated, but asked could he call later that day when he had more time. There was never a call back. I know things are more expensive these days, but not this much!"
