Unlock the Benefits of Existing Home Warranties

May 15, 20252 min read

When you’re buying a home, it’s easy to focus on the big things—price, location, layout. But many buyers overlook a key detail that can offer major financial protection: transferable warranties.

From appliances to major systems like HVAC and roofing, these warranties can save you hundreds—or even thousands—on repairs or replacements. The problem? Many buyers don’t know they exist or how to claim them.

🔍 Understanding Transferable Warranties

📦 Appliance Warranties
Many new appliances come with manufacturer warranties. Some brands allow these warranties to be transferred to new owners if the product is still within the coverage period. This could apply to refrigerators, washers, ovens, and more.

🔧 System Warranties
Larger systems like HVAC, roofing, plumbing, or even solar panels may be covered under warranty. These warranties often span 5, 10, or even 20 years and may be transferable—protecting you from big out-of-pocket expenses.

🏠 Home Warranty Plans
Sometimes sellers include a home warranty plan as part of the sale. These plans typically cover multiple systems and appliances and can usually be transferred to the buyer at no or low cost.

🧠 How to Clear the Confusion

📄 Request Warranty Documentation
Always ask the seller for warranty documents, including:

  • Proof of purchase

  • Warranty cards

  • Service or maintenance records

These details are essential for confirming coverage and starting a transfer.

📞 Verify Transferability
Contact the manufacturer or service provider directly to confirm the warranty’s terms. Some require a registration process or transfer fee, so it’s best to check early.

🛡️ Consider Buying a Home Warranty Plan
If no warranties exist or they’ve expired, you can always purchase your own plan. These typically cost a few hundred dollars a year and offer protection against unexpected breakdowns for major systems and appliances.
