    Mark from Philadelphia said about his experience, “I had a rusted dishwasher rack that I filed a claim for over 3 months ago. … AHS has sent three different contractors to my home to look at the dishwasher and verify that the rack is rusted, they all agreed with me about the part # that needs to be ordered, and yet I’ve still be sent the wrong racks 4 times now. Despite the complete failure of their system, they refuse to do anything differently and just keep on restarting the same broken process and get the same broken outcomes.”

      How much does a home warranty cost in Pennsylvania?

      Based on quotes we received from 22 companies, a home warranty usually costs between $30 and $90 per month.

      However, your cost will depend on the plan you choose. Generally speaking, the more coverage you want, the more you’ll pay. You might be able to get the same coverage for less by comparing quotes from different companies, though.

      Tips for buying a Pennsylvania home warranty

      A home warranty helps you keep your home’s systems and appliances in good condition and protects you from expensive repair bills. This means it can potentially bail you out of uncomfortable situations. If your heater starts acting up in the middle of a snowstorm, for instance, you don’t want to delay calling a tech just so you can save up money first.

      How to find the right home warranty for you:

      • Know how much coverage you want.
      • Find reputable home warranty companies in Pennsylvania that offer solid coverage.
      • Compare quotes from these companies to make sure you get a good deal.

      In Pennsylvania, coverage for your heating system is likely a good idea. The more items in your home you can get covered, the more likely you are to use your warranty. Coverage for some items, like pools, is generally only available as an add-on to an existing policy, so be sure to check what’s available beyond the standard plans you see.

      What Pennsylvanians say about home warranties

      In home warranty reviews on our site, Pennsylvania homeowners repeatedly point to a few make-or-break factors — reliability, technician quality, response time and ease of claims — when deciding whether a home warranty plan is worth the cost. For many of them, the coverage is worth it for the peace of mind.

      “The technicians were great- efficient, quick and a wealth of information for my husband and I,” Angella in Harrisburg said about her experience. “As a new home owner, we really valued the great customer service and time taken to answer questions.” Joseph in Norristown loved the “top-notch” customer service he received from his warranty company, as well as the “user-friendly” website, which simplified the claims process for him.

      Home warranty regulations in Pennsylvania

      There’s not a lot of regulation for home warranties in Pennsylvania. A bill was signed into law in 2010 to separate service contracts (another name for third-party warranties) from insurance regulations, but there aren’t many other laws regulating these agreements at the time of publishing. There’s also no law in Pennsylvania requiring warranties for new construction.

      That doesn’t mean you don’t have any consumer protections, though. If you believe a home warranty company is doing something illegal, consider reaching out to the Pennsylvania attorney general’s Bureau of Consumer Protection to file a grievance.

      FAQ

      Is a home warranty worth it in Pennsylvania?

      There’s no universal answer to whether a home warranty is worth it in Pennsylvania; however, asking yourself some questions can help you decide:

      • Am I worried about a major home appliance or system breaking down?
      • Can I financially handle the cost of repairing or replacing a major appliance or system?
      • Would I have to wait to save money for a critical repair, like fixing my heater in the winter?

      If you answered yes to any of the above, a home warranty might be worth it for you. There’s no guarantee that buying a home warranty will save you money, but it can provide peace of mind and protection against catastrophic repair bills.

      What does a home warranty company cover?

      Home warranty companies typically cover major appliances and/or systems within clients’ homes; however, specific coverage details vary between companies and plan options. Each home warranty company offers its own unique plans, some with more comprehensive coverage than others.

      Is a home warranty transferable?

      Yes, in many cases, a home warranty can be transferred to a second homeowner. Something to note: If you’re looking to sell your home, an existing warranty might appeal to buyers who want built-in coverage — this means one less thing for them to think about.
