Should I consider a home warranty in addition to insurance?
Yes. Homeowner's insurance covers damage from unexpected events like fire or storms. A home warranty covers repair or replacement of major systems and appliances when they break from normal wear and tear. They serve different purposes. A warranty is especially useful for older homes with aging systems.
Why It Matters
Home warranties fill a gap that insurance does not cover, protecting you from the cost of replacing a failed HVAC system or water heater.
