One More Reason to Love My Home Warranty
Posted on November 27th, 2007 by Jonathan Dalton
If you’re purchasing a home of any age, I cannot recommend strongly enough the need to purchase a home warranty (depending on market conditions you might be able to get the seller to buy it for you.)
And if you have a somewhat older home, it’s probably worth keeping after the first year expires. My home, a wonderfully sturdy block home built in 1989, certainly qualifies.
Our garage door gave out about a week ago. I thought about calling the company who installed it then decided I’d bring my dad out so we could stare it down, curse and maybe even fix the thing.
Fortunately, I remembered the home warranty at the last moment. More to the point I looked up the particulars after already having told my wife and mother that garage door openers aren’t covered.
Whoops.
In any event, 45 minutes and a $55 service fee later, and the garage door opener is working better I’ve ever seen it.
The savings aren’t quite what I paid, but it’s early yet. I’m almost certain that I’ll get there before the renewal in June.
