"I'll sue you and take away your home!" - Tony M., GM of Waukesha's WI, EVERDRY. This is what Tony thought it prudent to tell my 80 year old mother when she said she was going to the BBB for help. The short story is we missed a couple $75 payments because we were never...
Everdry WaterproofingThis company does not have good customer service when it comes to warranty service or follow-up. I contacted them 4 times since October 13, 2022, and they have still not scheduled a repair or returned a phone call.
Midwest Gutter Guard, LLCRepresentatives from Mr. Appliance were very professional from the start of the process to the end. Our home warranty required us to use Mr. Appliance and I'm glad they did. Will, the visiting repairman, was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. He walked me through what he was doing and why...
I called Hartlaub because their sticker is on the pump and given that there was not even dust on it yet I assumed it was under warranty. They came, confirmed it was malfunctioning, was under warranty and diagnosed the issue. After diagnosing the issue with the manufacturer the technician told...
Hartlaub Plumbing Heating Cooling and ElectricExcellent customer service! On Monday morning, another HVAC vendor had diagnosed and recommended replacement of our furnace to our home warranty company, but they were not responding to my repeated requests for a quote on replacing the furnace a more efficient unit for several days. Our...
Their price was reasonable, their warranty was better than others and they were easy to work with. They made a customized door. They were professional and prompt. They were honest.
I would recommend them. I always use them typically. My cars are both under warranty so they got the service free with them.
Gary's Auto Repair IncI had been having problems with my Dell computer and their (Dell's) technical help was getting me nowhere. I contacted Patrick, in desperation, as I needed a functional computer. He came to my home and helped to diagnose the problem. Seeing as the computer is still under warranty, he had...

"Buyers Beware – Total Waste of Money We purchased the premium home warranty package through Home Warranty Inc (homewarrantyinc.com) when we bought our home in October 2024, including the add-on for sprinkler system coverage. As anyone familiar with North Dakota knows, sprinkler systems must be winterized in September or October to prevent freeze damage. Ours was professionally blown out as soon as we moved in. Fast forward to spring—sprinkler systems in this region typically aren’t used again until late May, after the last freeze. We hired a professional sprinkler company to perform the spring startup and inspection. They found that multiple valves weren’t working properly. I filed a claim with the home warranty company immediately. Despite having the coverage, they denied the claim, saying it was a "pre-existing condition." That’s absolutely ridiculous, considering the system was winterized upon move-in and wasn’t even operational until months later. To make matters worse, this company has no partnered service providers in our town. You're expected to find your own technician, and good luck finding one who’s willing to work with them. Even if you do, you're likely stuck paying a significant amount out of pocket if anything needs to be replaced. This company is a complete scam. They take your money and leave you high and dry when it actually matters. I would never recommend them to anyone."

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.
