We bought our first home last year, which isn’t a surprise to readers who have been following along on our adventures, renovations and makeovers for the last year. It’s been lots of fun for us. What was a surprise, to us especially, was how much could go wrong in a house. Unlike our lives in the condo, we ourselves were responsible for finding repair services, and paying for every penny of it. No fun at all.
Our oven bonked, the dishwasher leaked, the heater broke (multiple times), and there were lots of plumbing issues. Like most people, we weren’t prepared to repair and replace all of it, and didn’t have anything saved on the side for such an emergency (we just bought a house and completed major renovations- we were in debt!). Total Protect is a company that provides a service for homeowners with solutions for home maintenance and repair needs. There are budget friendly home warranty plan options that start at $19.95 a month, and reliable, responsive service to help make owning your own home less stressful, and more enjoyable, like it should be. Considering what we went through, we know this is something that we need, because lets face it, we really don’t know what is going to happen next.
How much can maintaining home appliances and systems cost in this day and age? Research shows more than 60% of homeowners can’t currently afford an expense of more than $2,000, yet the annual cost of repairs is often much more. Total Protect senior vice president Steve Burnett explains that in addition to such a big financial burden, there is the stress of finding the right service you can trust to perform the job honestly and effectively. Unfortunately, many of us (raising hand again) have been on the receiving end of poor service and skills.
Total Protect is committed to providing reliable service and fixing your problem right the first time. They offer a network of 40,000 trained technicians who are ready to help as soon as possible and are upfront about what is covered in the plan you choose, so there are no surprises.
Setting aside a bit each month to create an emergency fund of any home repairs that are needed, and a home warranty is a great option for those who want to budget throughout the year rather than be surprised with a large expense they are unprepared for.
