"Our home warranty sent them out for a leak. While the techs that we're on-site were very nice, they mentioned that there was a nail next to our pipe that had a pin hole leak in the report which caused a denial from the home warranty. Even after they said it was probably wear and tear the fact that it was included made us have to pay out-of-pocket. When we started an appeal with the home warranty company a completely different person, named fred, that we had never talked to before nor was out at the house fixing the leak made up some story about recent construction in the same area that was not true to make it where the home warrenty company would not cover the costs again."

"Mid-July through August in San Antonio and South Texas can be brutally hot, and it was and still is in 2020. On a 105 degree Wednesday in mid-July, our air conditioning went out. Not good. With the pandemic, the heat and our age (over 70), we needed help quickly. After a very bad experience with a different contractor, we called 1st Choice Heating & Air Conditioning. They reacted to our situation the next day and scheduled a crew for a full replacement system to be installed on Friday morning. They're pricing was fair (and less that the other contractor), and they did not try to take advantage of us for the expedited service. We found 1st Choice to be highly professional, meticulous in the installation and very customer centric -- very straight forward. They've called several times afterward to make sure the system was functioning properly and that my wife and I are happy. Very refreshing in today's business environment. We highly recommend 1st Choice Heating & Air Conditioning. A+ in our view. Jerry G"

Many benefits come with buying a home warranty when selling your home, but there are drawbacks to consider, too.
Pros
Peace of mind of home repair coverage
Incentive for buyers
Transferability to new owners
Prevent post-sale issues
Cons
Expensive cost
Exclusions of certain features or appliances
Coverage limits
Often difficult to understand
Potential wait for claim service
On average, a home warranty costs 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:
Deductibles: $75–$125 per call
Add-ons: $2–$35 per month
Premiums: $200–$1,200 per year
Several factors make a home warranty worth it 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.
Offering a home warranty when selling 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.
The main types of home warranties cover the basic essentials, but additional plan types focus on specific areas such as:
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.
System plan: Costing between $360 and $540 per year, this plan covers central home systems like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and water heaters.
Combination plan: This plan type covers both systems and appliances, costing between $545 and $1,500.
