A home warranty is one of the best ways to protect your home (and your budget) from the stress of unexpected, covered breakdowns. But many homeowners don’t realize how simple the home warranty claim process actually is.   

This quick guide walks you through how to use your 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10) coverage—and how it can save money on covered repairs. 

How to Use a Home Warranty in 4 Steps 

Step 1: Understand What Your Home Warranty Covers 

Your 2-10 home warranty can help you reduce the costs to address covered breakdowns to important systems and appliances, like the following:

Before submitting a request, it’s important to review your Plan Agreement to confirm coverage, especially if you’ve selected optional add-ons. To learn even more, read these helpful Home Warranty resources:  

Step 2: Request Service 

Once you confirm that your issue is covered, you can submit a home warranty claim in two easy ways: 

  • Online: Log into the 2-10 Homeowner Portal and select the system or appliance that’s giving you trouble. 
  • Phone: Call 720.531.6717 to start the claim process. 

When filing online, you’ll enter the brand, model number, and a brief description of the issue. 2-10 will match you with a repair Pro in your area, and you’ll receive updates as your request progresses. You can even check the claim status at any time by logging into your account. 

Step 3: Consider the Appliance Replacement Offer Program 

If your appliance can’t be repaired—or you’d rather upgrade—you can opt into the Appliance Replacement Offer Program instead. With this program, you’ll receive: 

  • A check of up to $150 (instead of repair service) 
  • The option to shop for a new appliance from any retailer 
  • Savings from waived service fees 
  • Access to exclusive member discounts on major appliances 

This program is ideal for aging appliances that are better off replaced than repaired.
