A home warranty may be valuable to homebuyers to prevent sudden out-of-pocket expenses. Sellers may use warranty coverage as an incentive to potential buyers. And those with dated appliances or lacking funds for emergency repairs also benefit. Cleveland has a large number of older homes with a higher likelihood of system failures. Our long winters with snow, ice and freezing temperatures only add to that risk.
Most home warranties cover large appliances and systems, such as heating, electrical and plumbing. Others may include water tanks, kitchen appliances and roofs. Most policies are customizable to the buyer’s specific needs, such as swimming pools, well-pumping systems and laundry machines.
In the first two years after purchase, about 66 percent of homeowners need repairs or replacement of two systems or appliances. New homeowners can exhaust significant financial resources on down payments, moving costs and new furnishings, and not have money left over to repair expensive household systems.
Home warranties are no substitute for homeowners insurance. Home warranties cover systems and appliances that eventually need service or replacement. Homeowner’s insurance covers damage from fire, accidents or weather-related events, not for damage from wear and tear.
Home warranty companies in Cleveland usually determine who handles repair work by using contractors in their network. Some homeowners dislike being unable to choose while others prefer the convenience of having the provider facilitate repairs.
Location | Average price per year | Range |
---|---|---|
Cleveland | $841 | $425 - $1,257 |
Ohio | $882 | $882 - $1,308 |
Nationwide | $841 | $216 - $1,468 |
Pittsburgh | $600 | $300 - $900 |
Columbus | $1,203 | $685 - $1,721 |
Warranty costs depend on the scope of items covered and the size and type of home. A service fee normally applies when filing a claim. Policies should clearly state the amount that policyholders are to pay, similar to a co-pay or deductible. Always read the policy agreement terms, including which items are covered and any deductible or payments required for service calls.
