The general path

From Choosing Coverage to a Repair Check

  1. Step 01

    Pick Your Coverage

    Choose home warranty coverage for the heating, plumbing, electrical, and appliances you use most.

  2. Step 02

    Check Listed Items

    See which systems, appliances, and parts your coverage lists, and which ones the plan leaves out.

  3. Step 03

    Report a Breakdown

    When a covered system or appliance fails from normal wear, send a service request under the plan.

  4. Step 04

    Get a Repair Check

    A matched technician checks whether the failed item and its cause fall within your plan coverage.

Homeowner stories

What Homeowners Shared After a Breakdown

My dishwasher quit halfway through a load. Going over the covered items first meant I knew what to expect before I sent the request.

Celia Mabry

Dishwasher request

I woke up to cold water one morning. Since I had already seen which heater parts were listed, the next steps felt a lot less confusing.

Eldon Tilson

Water heater request

The blower on my furnace started rattling once the cold set in. The explanations here helped me see what counts as normal wear.

Fran Corliss

Furnace blower request

My washer stopped spinning with a full load inside. I liked that everything was plain, with no big promises, just what to check.

Wear and coverage

Home Warranty Questions, Answered Simply

It can. Age alone doesn't rule an item out, as long as it works well when coverage starts and the plan lists it.

No. A repair usually comes first. Replacement may come up when an eligible item can't be fixed.

A technician is usually matched to check the problem and see if it falls under your coverage.

If the part or the cause is excluded, such as accidental damage, the request may not be approved.

Usually not. Basic care like changing filters is expected, and breakdowns from neglect are often left out.

It shows which items are listed, what is left out, and how requests work, so there's less guessing later.
