Why Do I Need Home Warranty ?

Home warranties cover the most common system component and appliance break downs in your home, and it will depend on the type of home warranty you have as to what items are covered.  A typical basic plan will cover you for things like:

• Heating Systems and General Plumbing
• Electrical Systems
• Kitchen Equipment – ovens, cooker tops, washing machine, dishwasher and microwaves.
• Garage Disposal Units
• Ceiling Fans

Additional items such as air conditioning units, spas, pools, refrigerators and freezers are usually only available on the more comprehensive packages, so it is important that you read the small print carefully for any home warranty plan, and make sure you get the best coverage you can.
