Unexpected home repairs are one of the most annoying and annoying things that can happen. And when they happen, they can really hurt the budget.
Homeowners spend hundreds of dollars every year to maintain and fix their home's systems and appliances, like water heaters, air conditioners, and dishwashers. Experts say that, on average, it costs more than $1,000 to fix major systems when they break down.
A home warranty is a practical and affordable way to avoid unexpected costs and trouble when home systems and appliances break. These major problems are covered by home warranties, and they often cost less than $500 per year.
Home warranties are becoming known to more and more homeowners. Recent research shows that almost 72% of real estate agents across the country recommend home warranties to their clients and that 90% of real estate transactions in California close with one.
But their popularity isn't just due to how cheap they are; questionable contractors are also a factor. Most people would rather have someone else fix their heating systems or refrigerators when they break down. The problem is that it's not easy to find qualified technicians quickly, which makes things even worse for many homeowners.
Homeowners who are looking for contractors are increasingly worried about the quality of the work, bad contractors, and work that doesn't follow local rules.
Thanks to home warranties, you can get help quickly from a qualified technician. In fact, American Home Shield works with a network of 11,000 licenced contractors who promise to visit homeowners within two business days.
