A home warranty is a service contract, normally for
one year, which helps protect home owners against the cost of unexpected
covered repairs or replacement on their major systems and appliances
that break down due to normal wear and tear. Coverage is for systems
and appliances in good working order at the start of the contract.
Check your home warranty policy to see which of the
following items are covered. Also find out if the policy covers
the full replacement cost of an item.
