    Extended Warranties for Appliances- Who Needs Them?

    Extended warranties for appliances - Who needs them?

    Today’s appliances have as much technology built in as the Apollo that landed on the moon. Now is the time to consider an extended warranty. Many companies sell extended warranties but are not directly connected to a local factory certified repair center or have co-pays. Today’s Appliances are built with the latest technology that offers intelligent electronic circuits built with the latest EPA requirements. While they save you significant savings in energy cost they have a higher failure rate. Parts today are expensive and requires a factory trained Service Engineer to make the repair. ** When selecting an extended warranty from the manufacturer or any other home warranty company choose wisely as they are all different!
