Texas summers are brutal — what should homeowners look for in HVAC coverage, and what exclusions tend to catch people off guard when their AC fails mid-July? 5. After Winter Storm Uri exposed vulnerabilities across the state, how should Texas homeowners think about plumbing and pipe coverage in their home warranty — and what limitations should they expect? 6. Many Texas homeowners have water softeners, septic systems, or propane setups due to rural and semi-rural living — are these typically covered, and is the add-on cost worth it? 7. Texas real estate transactions move fast — how do home warranties factor into buyer negotiations, and what should buyers and sellers each know before closing?
