A homeowner's insurance policy and a home service agreement are similar as they are both renewable, where allowed by law. However, homeowner's insurance protects against catastrophes such as fire, wind and storm damage.

 


 

Our HomeTrust Warranty differs in that it covers many systems and appliances for breakdowns due to normal wear and tear.

 Tips   

Use cheap hair shampoo and a scrub brush to clean your tub if you’re out of cleaner.  (If you don’t like bending over, use a long-handled brush.)

 

Home service agreements, for resale properties, are often used as a negotiating tool in competitive real estate situations. They are not a substitute for a professional home inspection, but, sellers find them helpful in attracting buyers. Buyers find that home service agreements, which can be renewed after the first year, can save them money in the cash-tight early days of owning a home. Get a home service agreement today!

 Maintenance      Tips   

Put plastic shower curtain and liners into the washing machine to eliminate grime. Toss in a bath towel or two for scrubbing action, along with the usual amount of detergent. Then place in the dryer for a couple of minutes or hang to dry. To stop mildew buildup, use pinking shears to cut off the bottom seam of a liner or a non-decorative plastic curtain, so the water drips off.

 

When winter is fast approaching, have a professional HVAC contractor come out and service your unit.  Home service agreements do not cover failures due to lack of maintenance. For more tips on how to make your warranty work for you, get with the Home Warranty program. It saves you time and money!

 Maintenance      Tips   

Clean your disposal by putting ice cubes and 1/4 cup of white vinegar into the unit and operating it with no running water. As the blades grind up the ice, it removes food particles and gooey build-ups. When it sounds like the cubes are all gone, start a slow trickle of cold water. You will probably find that the disposal's drain openings are frozen and clogged with ice, and the water will start to back up which is good because the churning water also washes the sides before the ice melts, the drain clears.

 Maintenance      Tips   

The refrigerator is the second-biggest energy user in a home. If you change the way you use the refrigerator-freezer, you'll probably see a significant drop in your energy bill.

 

New locks mean no more keys.

 Maintenance      Tips

You can purchase keyless locks for your home that are similar to those used on newer cars.  A number of keyless and remote-controlled door locks are available to keep your home safe, and eliminate any digging around in the dark for keys.
