Home Warranty vs. Homeowner’s Insurance: What’s the Difference?

Ever wonder what the difference is between a home warranty and homeowners insurance? Here’s the scoop from our experts at William Raveis Insurance!

If you would like to see a brochure for the American Home Sheild Warranty and what it covers, send me a note below.

A home warranty is a great thing to have in your toolbox as a homeowner, especially if you have some older appliances. It can also be of great assistance when selling your home if your buyer’s inspection indicates that some appliances are working but past their indicated lifespan and your buyer wants some reassurance. Likewise, if you’re buying a home and you have concerns about older appliances, an annual home warranty plan can protect you from the expense of needing to repair or replace many elements in the house. Your negotiations will be more attractive if you ask for a credit toward a home warranty instead of a whole new appliance.
