Repairing different parts of a home may be very expensive and well out of the budget of average homeowners. Fortunately, there are some options for protecting a home from expensive breakdowns. It is possible to purchase extended warranty packages that cover a variety of structures, fixtures and other parts of a house. Additionally, warranties might be purchased to cover appliances that tend to stop working properly due to normal wear and tear. After all, factory warranties expire in a few years when the appliances are still in perfect working condition.

Warranties are very useful for covering the costs of repairing furnaces, air conditioners, water heaters and water softeners. These major installations are expensive to purchase and service. However, homeowners might have the appliances repaired for only a small fraction of the cost by buying a household warranty package. In a sense, such a plan is like an insurance policy for things that need to get repaired sometimes. By contrast, a home insurance only covers the structures of a home such as roof, foundation, walls and ceilings.
