You’re all moved into your new home. Everything is sparkling clean, and in many cases, brand spanking new. Do you really know, though, the condition of the appliances you bought with the house? Will the furnace last more than a few years? Is that “smart” refrigerator really so smart?
If you own a TV, odds are you’ve seen ads for home warranties. Even your email spam filters are packed with offers. And while it’s generally a good idea to avoid industries that spam you, there are some benefits to home warranties.
