Texas Home Buyer Series, Part IV: Choosing a Home Warranty

Once you have an accepted offer on a house, there are several reports to order: an appraisal and termite inspection are the big two.  Beyond that you should decide if you would like to get a home warranty.  The purpose of a home warranty plan is to protect yourself against unexpected costs related certain appliances or home systems breaking down.

Depending on the plan, home warranty plans can cover air conditioners, washer, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator, etc.  Every plan is different, and you should be sure to read the fine print of each one you consider. Some plans will cover any and all damage done to a water heater, while others will only cover damage if it was from normal wear and tear. 

Home warranty plans are good coverage for unexpected issues. If you do not want to have to worry about paying thousands of dollars for a broken air conditioner out of the blue, a home warranty may be the route for you.
