What Does A Home Warranty Cover?
What does a home warranty cover? Whether you are one of those homeowners who looks for basic 1 year home warranty coverage or who prefers to insure as many home systems and appliances as possible, you still need to learn what is a home warranty and what it covers before you sign a contract in order to avoid unpleasant surprises later.
Read through this guide carefully and educate yourself before committing into a home warranty contract. The difference between two different home warranty plans could be night and day. To put things in perspective, one home warranty plan could cover less than 5 home systems and appliances, with $500 coverage limits, while another other plan would cover dozens of systems and appliances with coverage limits of $5,000 per item. There is a lot more to factor into your decision like the costs and the reliability of companies, but the coverage is a great place to start in.

Know What Is Included in Your Home Warranty Coverage Quality
One of the most common mistakes that many homeowners make when they purchase a home warranty is that they do not thoroughly go over the list of covered items. For example, they assume that when they buy one of the best home appliance coverage plans it will include every appliance in their house. Home warranty buyers should remember that a higher-priced cost of home warranty coverage does not guarantee a better coverage plan.
The truth is that every company not only has its own list of covered and non-covered items, but for each one, there is a list of covered and non-covered parts. In addition to that, for many home systems and appliances, there is a coverage limit that may vary between companies. The coverage limit, or cap, is the maximum amount per year that the home warranty company will pay for the repair or replacement of a certain item. This is why it is very important to be meticulous about what your home warranty coverage is.

Types of Home Warranty Coverage
Home warranty companies that provide the best home warranty coverage meets the needs of their customers by offering them different types of coverage. Typical home warranty coverage includes all essential home appliances and some crucial home systems, such as plumbing and air conditioning. It is very popular among clients who are interested in a seller’s coverage home warranty. Many experienced realtors recommend that sellers purchase a home warranty as it will protect the house while it is on the market, and will raise the value of the property in the eyes of potential home buyers.
For more demanding customers, premium home warranty coverage usually includes all major home systems, such as electric, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning, as well as all kitchen and laundry appliances. Most companies offer home warranty insurance coverage for additional items not included in the basic or premium plans. These items include swimming pool and spa, central vacuum, extra refrigerators or freezers, roofing, and such. For those customers who prefer to cover home appliances only, companies like Select Home Warranty and American Home Guard offer home appliance coverage plans.
Alternatively, these companies can provide basic home warranty coverage for home systems only. Combined plans for customers who want the best home warranty coverage including systems and appliances as well as optional add-ons are also available from these companies.
Types of Homes Eligible for a Home Warranty Coverage: From Single-Family to Mobile Homes
Once the home warranty industry emerged in the second half of the last century, most companies covered single-family houses only. As the home warranty market started developing and became more and more saturated, the companies began to offer home warranty coverage for different types of housing. First, the townhouses were included, then the condominiums, and eventually, the mobile home warranty plans became available.
A mobile home warranty is not offered by every company. However, if you own a mobile home, you may always ask the company representative if they have such an option. Mobile home warranty companies usually offer similar coverage options to other companies that don’t offer mobile home insurance. A home warranty for mobile homes provided by industry leaders like Total Home Protection or Choice Home Warranty covers air conditioning and heating, plumbing, and electrical systems, and a full range of home appliances, including a whirlpool bath.
