Who Needs A Home Warranty??








                                It's the Holiday season your preparing dinner for 15 and setting up the guest rooms for your relatives. You have spent a small fortune on making sure the refrigerator is stocked with holiday sweets & treats. Turned up the fireplace to enhance the ambiance of the holiday season and cleaned the carpets in every room. Your feeling good and with the roast simmering in the oven your ahead of schedule. You decide to take off your apron and sit down on the couch for a little rest & relaxation. Life is good and today your at the top of your game.....
                              All of a sudden you hear your dishwasher make a strange noise and before you can stop it suds and hot water began seeping from under it all over the kitchen floor. As you begin to clean up the mess you notice you do not hear the soft hum the refrigerator normally makes. You make your way across the kitchen and open the refrigerator door to your dismay its hot inside. Your Chocolate Moose Dessert has melted all over the Banana Cream Pie you slaved over. From experience you know bad things usually come in 3's so your not surprised to see your dog in the bathroom barking uncontrollably at the toilet he usually drinks from. Its overflowing and to make matters worse its soaked the carpet in the hallway.
                             
                            You have to get the water up and stop the overflow as quickly as possible so you run to the linen closet for a towel. You click the light switch and the breakers go out. Since you have an electric stove that roast you were cooking won't be well done but under cooked. While standing there deciding what to do a flashback of the previous holiday season makes you cringe. That Thanksgiving you cooked your first turkey for the family. The look on their faces as you tried to carve that golden brown frozen turkey still haunts you. If only someone would have told you it would take longer than an hour to cook a 30 pound bird, even if it did brown fast... You have reached your breaking point if one more thing breaks down your going to jump off the roof!
                          Not knowing that your home and the appliances in it are alive and have plotted against you because you failed to protect them with a home warranty the que is given for the microwave to explode open and the water tank to burst.

                          As you stand there moments later on the roof ledge preparing to jump because of the circus happening around you. Sparks coming out of your chimney, the garage door opening and closing & water high as the windows your suddenly jolted back to reality by the doorbell. The cat got out and the neighbor was returning him. You put the cat on his mat and head to the computer. You type in- home warranty companies....

                       Although everything may not break down at the same time in your home. I can almost guarantee if something does go awry it will most likely be at the most inconvenient time financially & personally. Wreaking havoc on your well made plans. The cost of a home warranty is often less than replacing or repairing a single item.

 Standard 1 year warranty   -$375-$425 
 Piece Of Mind Priceless  - $
 Rainy Day Fund   -Untouched    

The basic coverage to look for in a home warranty
Plumbing           Water Heater             Attic & Exhaust Fans
Electrical            Kitchen Appliances  Central Vacuum System
Ceiling Fans

Look for warranties that also include optional coverage on
Central Air Conditioning -Ducted
Duct Work        Garage Door Openers
Heating              Pool & Spa Equipment

There are many different plans out there and since I am not an expert on the components they may cover I have included a few companies that are.

 First American Home Buyers Protection-1800-444-9030
American Home Shield -1855-354-2955
Old Republic Home Protection- 1800-445-6999
