Home warranty in Idaho

Idaho's diverse climate poses challenges for homeowners, especially in regions with ongoing construction or older homes requiring frequent repairs. Residents of Idaho are exposed to vast seasonal temperature differences, experiencing harsh winters and warm summers. The state's weather varies by region, with the mountains, valleys and plains experiencing the seasons differently.  

Idaho homeowners also see their fair share of precipitation throughout the year. The higher elevations of northern and central Idaho receive up to four times the amount of rain and snow as the low-elevation regions of southern Idaho. 

Here’s a bulleted list of the most common home repairs in Idaho based on the content: 

A home warranty serves as a contract between a homeowner and a home warranty company. While a builder's warranty covers defects in a newly constructed home for a limited time, a home warranty extends coverage to systems and appliances over the long term when they experience a mechanical failure due to normal wear and tear. It outlines coverage for certain home systems and appliances, providing homeowners with peace of mind during an unexpected event, which is why many homeowners choose to have it even though it’s not required. A home warranty plan is different from a home insurance contract, as each covers different aspects of a home.

Homeowners can purchase a home warranty at any time and coverage typically begins within 30 days of the first monthly payment, depending on the plan.

The length of a home warranty in Idaho can vary depending on the type of warranty and what it covers but typically covers systems and appliances for one year. Homeowners can renew their plan annually. If a home warranty lapses, contract holders will no longer be covered and are subjected to costly repairs and replacements.

To ensure that homeowners protect their most heavily relied-on home systems, their home warranty plan should include coverage for HVAC or air-conditioner and heating systems, along with plumbing and electrical systems. Idaho homeowners can further bolster their protection by including coverage for their most used appliances, such as their water heater, oven, refrigerator, garbage disposal, clothes washer and dryer and others if the item fails due to normal wear and tear.
