How a home warranty differs from homeowners insurance

What this episode covers

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.      American Home Shield from Front Door is in the business of selling warranties to help cover repairs and replacements for home systems and appliances.    Typically the warranty plans are in addition to traditional homeowners insurance and director Meredith Sprecher says they can provide peace of mind.. “Insurance helps cover things that might happen.  Things like damage from a fire or a natural disaster like a hurricane or a tornado.   A home warranty covers the things that will happen.  Such as your AC or your refrigerator going out.  You’re actually about 25 times more likely to use a home warranty than to use your homeowners insurance.” Plan prices vary depending on what you want to cover .  You can even opt to have computers and gaming systems in the plan as well.    There’s more at AHS.com.
