Know when to Repair and when to Repurchase

If you've recently moved into a new home -- or if you know that your current appliances are outside of their own warranties -- you might want to consider getting a full house appliance warranty. These warranties generally cover all the major appliances in your home, from your microwave to your washer and dryer, and are usually paid for through a monthly fee.

1. You're Guaranteed Quick Service

With a warranty, you're generally guaranteed service within a specific time period -- and the servicing is usually available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even better, you don't have to call around to different servicing companies to find out when they can schedule you in. You have a single point of contact and you know that a technician will be on the way as soon as possible. 

2. You Can Protect Your Older Appliances

Most older appliances have already fallen out of warranty and may break down quite frequently. Rather than having to pay to get these appliances fixed every time, you can contact your appliance servicing company and get them fixed under your full house warranty. Usually, you will only need to pay for parts rather than having to pay for the actual service calls, which can otherwise get quite costly.

3. You Often Get a Discount on Parts 

Many full house warranties also offer a discount on parts or offer the parts at cost, so you won't need to pay exorbitant amounts to both get the appliance fixed and get the parts ordered. Sometimes an appliance can otherwise cost more to fix than it could to just replace!

4. You Can Rent With Peace of Mind

If you're going to rent out your home, a full house appliance warranty will make the process much easier. Renters can abuse your appliances and you won't always be around to get them fixed. With a full house warranty, the renters can contact your appliance service company directly and get everything fixed without having to bother you at all. And it can be very appealing to renters in competitive markets.

Most appliance servicing and repair companies, like Collier County Appliance Service, Inc., offer some form of home warranty. You can shop around and find the one that best suits your needs. In general, you'll be looking both at cost and at response time. After all, you don't want to end up stuck without your stove and oven over a weekend!
