Whether you’re a long-time homeowner or a first-time home buyer in RI, a home warranty is a great way to protect your lifestyle, budget, and peace of mind. Signing up for a home warranty can give you assurance that your covered home systems and appliances will be repaired or replaced in the event of a breakdown. Now that’s something to celebrate.
A lot can come with a home warranty plan. But as a resident in RI, you’ll want to make sure your plan covers these essential items:
Winter temperatures can drop to the low 20s across the state. When your heating system encounters an issue, it is comforting to know that your home warranty will cover it. Make sure your home warranty also offers or includes seasonal HVAC tune-ups to keep your system in tip-top shape.
Don’t lose your cool if your interior electrical lines, main breaker or fuse box, or ceiling fans malfunction. A home warranty in Rhode Island should offer an Electronics Protection Plan to help cover repair costs of these items if they break down due to everyday wear and tear.
When you buy a home, you may have no idea how old your appliances are or how well they have been maintained. Having home warranty coverage for appliances no matter their age can give you much-needed peace of mind. American Home Shield® even covers duplicates of some items, like an extra fridge in the garage
You’re probably used to carrying your umbrella if you live in Rhode Island, where it can rain and snow up to 46 inches a year on average. With all that precipitation comes potential wear and tear to your roof’s shingles. Make sure your home warranty plan offers coverage for roof leak repairs.
See the plan agreement for coverage detail, including service fees, limitations, and exclusions. Coverage limits and charges for non-covered items may apply.
