Whether you are an experienced home buyer or just getting your first home, you should absolutely consider getting a home warranty. This is one of your biggest investments.
In today’s market the houses are rarely occupied full time by the seller.
That means that the chances of the A/C, water heater, pool filtering system etc probably haven’t been maintained; yet alone regularly utilized. Therefore, in most cases, these systems will need servicing and unfortunately repair or replacement. Unexpected costs like these can easily strain your already tight budget.
Nobody wants to move in and find out that the A/C compressor isn’t working and it’s 110 degrees outside! (Especially if you live in the Phoenix area). With a good home warranty negotiated in the deal, you can relax. You can move into your new home and not have the worries of a major appliance failing at just the wrong time. When something does break or fail to operate properly just make the phone call for repair and move on. The cost for the expert to come out is minimal, basically just a service call fee. Big savings to you versus having to pay for all the parts, labor and service call charge. It will pay for itself if you only use it once, especially if that one time is the AC! Isn’t peace of mind worth the little extra cost?
Ask for it upfront when you are negotiating your deal or if you already own your home check out the companies on the web. There are differences, so compare coverages and prices. We all want to enjoy our homes, not be stressed about doing very expensive repairs.
One company you can check out that provides an excellent warranty for Arizona homes is American Home Shield. You can find them on the web at www.ahsrealestate.com
