Frequently Asked Questions
What do home warranties cover?
A home warranty covers the things in your home that you and your family rely on most, like the refrigerator, dishwasher, heating and AC systems, and water heater. Life gets frustrating when these types of items stop working. A home warranty provides peace of mind because when covered home systems and appliances inevitably break down, you’ve got a plan.
What's the difference between home warranty and homeowners insurance?
Homeowners insurance covers what might happen to your home, like damage from flooding or storms. Home warranties cover what will inevitably happen to your home, like system and appliance breakdowns due to normal wear and tear.
