Home Warranty

A home warranty is a contract that agrees to provide a homeowner with discounted repair and replacement services. Pipe Solutions works with HSA Home Warranty as well as American Home Shield.

If you own a home, or hope to do so soon, a home warranty can offer protection against the cost of unexpected repairs. There are several types of warranty plans out there. Moreover, reading the fine print to find out your coverage is important. If you don’t see an item on your coverage list that you have in your home, ask about their Add-ons. Most warranty companies have Add-ons available to purchase. 

Money Money Money

In addition to annual premiums that can rage from $300-$1000, if you file a claim, you’ll also have to pay a service fee for a technician to come to your home and assess the problem. Even if the warranty company ends up denying your claim, the price will depend on your policy. Fees generally run between $75 and $150 per visit. Pipe Solutions does not accept your service fee as this will only be collected by your warranty company. In the event that your warranty company does deny a portion of the work, then Pipe Solutions will collect “Out Of Pocket” Costs. 

Pros of Home Warranty Policies

Convenience: You have a middle man searching for service technicians or referrals 

Cost Savings: In most cases, your service fee covers your repairs or replacements

Transferability: If you purchase a home with a home warranty plan, in most cases, the plan will transfer to the new homeowner.
(Tip: Always check your coverage details before you make a final decision)
