A home warranty in Pennsylvania 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 winter snowstorm, you don’t want to delay calling a technician just so you can save up money first.

The keys to finding the right home warranty for you are:

• Knowing how much coverage you want
• Finding reputable home warranty companies in Pennsylvania that offer that solid coverage
• Comparing quotes from these companies to make sure you get a good deal

In Pennsylvania, coverage for your heating system may be a good idea, and the more items in your home you can get covered, the more likely you are to put your warranty to use. 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.

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 on the books for them. 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.

Buying a home warranty can be a difficult process if you don’t know what to look for, so your first step should be figuring out what you want out of your coverage. Then, shop around to find a home warranty in Pennsylvania that meets your needs and budget.
