Inspect Before Your Home Warranty Expires
|
As a minimum, this coverage includes 2 years on labour and materials (some limits apply), 5 years on the building envelope and 10 years on structure. It's the strongest construction defect insurance in Canada. Some homes have home warranty insurance that exceeds this minimum requirement.
Read the full article on my blog for links to the Homeowner Protection Office's Guide to Home Warranty Insurance and what to do if you have a claim.
Not only is it easy to forget about your warranty but it is difficult to know what exactly to look for... before your home warranty expires consider having your home inspected to ensure any defects are detected and claims are submitted... read on

| Quick Tip: Keep Your House Cool |
 Close south and west-facing curtains during the day for any window that gets direct sunlight. Keep these windows closed, too.
Install white window shades or mini-blinds. Mini-blinds can reduce solar heat gain by 40-50 percent.
Install awnings on south-facing windows, where there's insufficient roof overhang to provide shade.
