While homebuilders are required to provide a warranty for newly built homes in many states, owners of existing homes can purchase a home warranty to cover items such as heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing and electrical systems and appliances in their homes.
1 There could be an extra charge of $50-$100 or more for a warranty covering both the seller (while the home is on the market) and the eventual buyer. 2  Read the fine print: many home warranties do not include the cost of removing and hauling away old equipment (such as a furnace), or the cost of building permits if needed. A Maryland house seller is glad he bought a home warranty while his house was on the market; when the furnace died he only had to pay $50 (instead of $3,000) to have it replaced. and a Georgia homeowner had his claim completely denied.
