How does a home warranty work - One thing to keep in mind when using your home warranty is that you have to file a claim with the home warranty company. That means that you will need to call them and pay the service fee (around $75) to have one of their preferred vendors come out and analyze the problem. From there, the vendor can tell you if it’s something that needs to be repaired or replaced and if it’s covered by the home warranty. Most of the time, you are not allowed to use your own vendors to do the work. Also, keep in mind that each issue in the house requires you to pay the service fee for each “issue”.

Are home warranties worth the cost? Depending on the age of your home and the major systems of the house, I would say yes. The older your water heater, furance, etc… are the more of a reason to have a home warranty as it could end up paying for itself if any of those items need to be replaced. For newer homes, they aren’t as important but could still be a good protection plan against big ticket items.
