Home insurance and home warranty policies provide important forms of coverage for your home. Even so, there are important differences between the two. <\/p>\n

Home Insurance<\/h2>\n

Home insurance covers your home structure, other structures on the property, your appliances, and your personal belongings in the home. If these are damaged or destroyed by a covered peril, you’ll be compensated. If you have to move out of your home temporarily while the home is being repaired after a covered peril, home insurance will cover the cost of food and accommodations.<\/p>\n

Home insurance also covers liability and property damage that occurs on your premises. If someone has an accident in your home, insurance can cover medical bills and other expenses. The same point applies if someone’s personal property is damaged while they’re visiting your home. <\/p>\n

Furthermore, home insurance can be customized to meet your specific needs. You can add a rider to your policy to cover short-term rentals. You can buy umbrella coverage to increase your home insurance liability policy limits.<\/p>\n

Home Warranty Policies<\/h2>\n

A home warranty only covers appliances in the home. However, unlike home insurance, a home warranty policy covers damage caused by regular wear and tear. If something breaks down, you pay only a pre-determined fee, and the item is either repaired or replaced. A home warranty policy is especially valuable if your home has older appliances that are no longer covered by a manufacturer’s warranty.<\/p>\n
