<h3><strong>What’s a Home Warranty?</strong></h3>
<p> </p>
<p>A home warranty is a service contract, normally for one year, which  helps protect home owners against the cost of unexpected covered repairs  or replacement on their major systems and appliances that break down  due to normal wear and tear. Coverage is for systems and appliances in  good working order at the start of the contract.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Check your home warranty policy to see which of the following items  are covered. Also find out if the policy covers the full replacement  cost of an item.</p>
