Major Systems to Beware of When Buying a Home

There is nothing worse than buying a home and then shortly thereafter being hit with a huge repair bill. That is why some buyers offer an included home maintenance insurance contract. This may be a good idea when buying an older home but even they are often inconvenient to deal with. A perfect example is my daughter who purchased a home with a “warranty” and shortly thereafter her HVAC system stopped cooling. So she called the warranty company and they eventually sent out a repair person. Two weeks later it isn’t working again, so after another couple of weeks another repair person arrives and this goes on for a couple of months until eventually, they ended up making a major repair (after many threats from my son-in-law).  The problem is the warrantee company hires the cheapest labor and only authorizes the minimum of repairs. If you were hiring the contractor you would look for quality workmanship and buyer satisfaction… but that is not their priority.
