Here’s what the experts say.

The confusion between warranties and home repair plans is common. While warranties cover factory faults, home repair plans like those from American Home Shield extend beyond, covering wear, tear, and even some intentional misuse.
This distinction is crucial. Relying solely on warranties might leave you unprotected when you most need it. Many warranties end after just a year, while repair plans can provide coverage for a small fee over many years. It’s a reality that too many people ignore—at their peril.
Given the vast difference in coverage, choosing a comprehensive plan could save you thousands in unexpected repair costs. Yet, many remain unaware of the potential these plans hold.
As we dissect these options, the potential savings reveal an interesting landscape often overlooked. Could this be the insight you’ve been missing all along?
