There are a lot of options to choose from when you’re shopping for a home warranty in Maryland, but a good way to start is by thinking about what kind of coverage you want. When you’re looking at coverage plans, think about which of your home systems and appliances are most at risk and which you’d least like to go without.
Though Maryland doesn’t have the most extreme climate, your environment can still influence the kind of coverage you should look for.
Maryland can get cold enough in the winters and hot enough in the summers that you wouldn’t want to go without your home’s heating and cooling systems, so coverage for your heater and air conditioner might be useful.
Once you know what kind of coverage works for you, look for companies offering what you’re after. Find some plans that meet your criteria, and get quotes for each of them so you can comparison-shop and choose the right one for you.
Maryland’s laws regarding home warranties (also called home service contracts) are outlined by the Maryland Service Contracts and Consumer Product Guaranty Act. This Act requires, among other things, that home warranty contracts disclose the following:
Maryland law leaves enforcement up to the state’s attorney general. So, if you have an issue with a home warranty company’s practices, consider filing a grievance with the Maryland attorney general’s office.
A home warranty in Maryland costs roughly between $35 and $105 per month, based on quotes from our top picks.
The cost of your home warranty will depend on a few different factors, including:
Generally, the more comprehensive your coverage, the higher your monthly cost.
Whether a home warranty in Maryland is worth it or not depends on you, your home and your financial situation. A home warranty may be worth it if you wouldn’t be able to handle the financial burden of a major repair or a replacement on your own. However, if nothing goes wrong in your home while you’re covered, you may end up wasting money. Weigh your risks to make a smart purchasing decision.
