What is Home warranty?
A home warranty covers repairs or replacement of certain systems and appliances, or defects in a newly built home.
Definition
New-home warranties protect against construction defects for a set period, while service-style home warranties cover breakdowns of major systems and appliances for a fee.
Understanding what's covered, for how long, and what's excluded helps you plan for repairs and avoid surprises.
