You Have Home Insurance. But Do You Have A Home Warranty?

If you own a home you likely have home insurance. If you have a mortgage on your home, more likely than not you are required to have home insurance. This insurance is vital to you and your lender; it protects both of you from catastrophic loss in the event of major damage, such as from storms or fire. So why is a home warranty necessary?

A great way to think of home insurance is that it protects you from things that MIGHT happen. While a home warranty protects you from things that WILL happen. So why is home insurance required and an warranty is not? Your home loan lender requires you to carry insurance so they can be repaid should the unthinkable happen and your home is a total loss. Home warranties, while they do not cover fire or storm damage, they do cover much more common problems that we all experience at some point. If you own a home you hopefully will never have major damage to your home from storms or fire, but you will definitely have appliances or home systems break down or wear out. That is where Wolverine Home Warranty comes in.

When home systems, appliances, or covered electronics stop working your home warranty will help cover the cost of repair or if necessary replacement. Financially speaking, there is rarely a good time for your furnace to stop working, requiring you to fork out thousands in replacement costs. Many repair companies will offer financing, which often is through a third party, and at such a high interest rate the total cost nearly doubles.

A Wolverine Home Warranty will give you peace of mind, as well as financial security. The cost of a home warranty is predictable and the amount of coverage you desire is completely up to you. When a breakdown does occur your costs are minimal to get things working again, which means you are not left to absorb high unexpected expenses.

While a home warranty is different from home insurance, both are vitally important. Home warranties cover all the things most people assume a home insurance policy should cover, but don’t. Contact Wolverine Home Warranty today, get covered, then rest easy. We are always here to help!

Is a Home Warranty Worth it?

No one can predict when your home systems or appliances will fail. Of course nothing fails at a time that is convenient in our busy lives.

This type of home protection plan will provide peace of mind if a major home item fails and it will prevent you from spending hours searching for a trusted contractor in your area to complete repairs as well as figuring out how your going to pay for repairs or replacement.

If you’re purchasing a new construction home you may think a home warranty might not be necessary. That’s because your home will come with brand new appliances and systems that are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty. A manufacturer’s warranty protects appliances if they fail due to defective materials or faulty workmanship, not wear and tear. A Wolverine Home Warranty will pick up where your manufacturers warranty leaves off.

Are Home Warranties Worth the Money?

While you’ll have to pay an annual premium for a home warranty, the benefits far outweigh the repair costs. You will end up recouping every penny you paid for the home warranty with just one service call a year.

For example, the average cost to repair a water heater is $636. If you paid a $400 premium for your warranty and a $100 service fee for a water heater repair, you would still have $136 that could be pocketed for other home expenses.

Benefits of a home warranty

Home Warranties vs. Homeowners Insurance

Don’t confuse a home warranty with home insurance. Both insurance and warranty policies protect your home, they cover different items. A home warranty covers systems and appliances in your home when they stop working due to normal wear and tear, whereas homeowners insurance is designed to protect you financially when your home suffers damage from a catastrophic event, such as a natural disaster or fire.

For example, if lightning strikes your house and a resulting power surge fries your refrigerator, you would contact your home insurer for coverage. However, if your fridge needs a repair because it spontaneously stops working, you would contact your home warranty company for a fix.

Homeowners insurance is required while a home warranty is completely optional. However, it’s a good idea to invest in a home warranty because of the cost savings you will receive over time on unexpected repairs and replacements. Home insurance protects you against things that might happen, such as a natural disaster. Home warranties protect you against things that WILL happen. If you own a home long enough at some point the fridge will breakdown, the furnace will stop working, the water heater will stop delivering hot water. In all of these instances Wolverine Home Warranty will shield you from the high replacement costs of these items and the hassle of managing the repair/replacement.

What Does a Home Warranty Cover?

In general, a home warranty covers whole-home systems and appliances, such as:

Air conditioning
Heating
Plumbing
Electrical
Kitchen appliances, like the refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and built-in microwave
Clothes washer and dryer
Garage door opener

Wolverine Home Warranty offers three levels of plans. Three, four, and five star plans. Each step up offers progressively more comprehensive coverage.

How Much Does a Home Warranty Cost?

Before you purchase a home warranty, consider the costs that come with these protection plans.

Premium—The premium is the monthly or annual fee you pay the home warranty company. The premium will vary depending on factors such as the level of coverage you sign up for. The cost of a home warranty averages between $400 and $700 a year.
Service fee—The service fee is the fee you’re charged when a service technician comes to your house to make a repair or replacement after you file a claim. The service fee costs between $75–$125 depending on the home system needing service.
Other costs—If your plan is cancelled and no service have been provided yet there is no cancellation fee. Additional fees will be charged for plans cancelled after services have been rendered.

How Does a Home Warranty Work?

Before you sign up for a home warranty, it might be worth getting a home inspection to verify that systems are properly installed and maintained. The home inspection report may also indicate which appliances are nearing the end of their expected lives, so you can get a better idea of which items need the most protection.

Once coverage begins (typically after 30 days of signing a contract) and a covered item quits working, you would call Wolverine Home Warranty to file a claim or submit a claim online. Once the claim is approved, the we will arrange for a pre-approved service provider to come to your home within 48 hours to assess the problem.

If possible, the technician will make the repair immediately. If a replacement is necessary, the technician will schedule a follow-up appointment to complete the replacement.
