Many people mistakenly believe that their homeowners’ insurance policy will cover any problem that may pop up in their family’s humble abode. While a standard policy will typically cover things like theft, damage from natural disasters and fires, and some other situations that may be outside anyone’s control, there are a lot of things under your roof (and underground) that it won’t cover. For example, will your homeowners’ insurance policy cover the cost of repairs needed if your furnace breaks down? Or if you need to fix a clog in your sewer line? The answer is “probably not.” That’s exactly why home warranty plans are so valuable.
A home warranty from American Water Resources can often pick up the slack where your homeowners’ insurance policy falls short. These home protection plans cover things like repair or replacement for your heating or cooling systems, water heater, and even your water/sewer/natural gas lines. You only need to pay a nominal monthly or annual fee and then your home’s most vital appliances, lines, and systems are protected in case of an unexpected breakdown. (Depending on your plan, there may be a service fee for the appointment if a professional comes to your home.)
So, who exactly could benefit from enrolling in a home protection plan?
New home buyers
If your family has recently purchased a new home, congratulations! Now is one of the best times for you to sign up for a protection plan (or plans) to keep your appliances, systems, and service lines protected in case of an unexpected problem. Your realtor may have recommended that you enroll in a warranty plan at the time of your home’s purchase. Many real estate companies recommend these plans so buyers can have peace of mind knowing that their home is protected in case of an issue.
Be aware of any manufacturers’ warranties
Be mindful of any existing warranties that may already be in place. For example, if you’re moving into a home that already has newer appliances, they may have a manufacturer’s warranty that is valid for a period of time. You won’t want to spend money on an additional protection plan on top of already having this warranty — that would be a waste of your hard-earned money.
Appliance warranties
If you don’t have manufacturers’ warranties in place for your new home’s appliances, now is an ideal time to look to American Water Resources and enroll in a protection plan for your heating system, cooling system, water heater, and so on. When you’re enrolled in a plan and a covered problem occurs, simply pick up the phone and get in touch with us for assistance.
Service line warranties
Along with protecting your appliances, get the coverage you need in case of a problem with your home’s service lines. This includes your water line, sewer line, and natural gas line. Often, these lines are out of sight, out of mind — that is, until a problem occurs and you try to figure out who to call and what needs to happen. Fortunately, with an American Water Resources service line plan in place, when a covered problem occurs — again — just pick up the phone and give us a call.
Existing homeowners
Even if you aren’t a brand-new homeowner, it’s never too late to sign up for the protection you need to keep your family’s heating or cooling systems, water heater, plumbing, water line, sewer line, exterior electric and interior electric lines, and natural gas lines all in good working order.
Many families set aside money and look forward to the time when they can go on a well-deserved vacation together. If that’s you, you surely don’t want to blow those savings on things like an emergency sewer line repair, or fixing a broken water line. When you’re enrolled in a home protection program, just pay a small monthly fee and your family will be covered up to a specific limit each year in case of an unexpected issue. When a covered problem occurs, just get on the phone and give us a call for quick, professional assistance. What could be easier — and what could give you a better sense of security and peace of mind?
Renters
Even if you don’t own your own home, you could benefit from having a warranty plan to protect your home’s electronics. In many areas, we offer renters and homeowners the protection they need from potential power surges that could damage their TVs, gaming consoles, laptops, printers, home stereo equipment, phone/tablet charges, and so on. Remember — not all power surges are a result of stormy weather! Some may occur simply from disruptions in the power lines going to or from your building, or even from appliances cycling on and off.
