What is a Home Warranty Service Agreement?
Basically, a Home Warranty Service Agreement, sometimes referred to as a systems and appliances Service Agreement or home warranty, is a service contract designed to repair or replace the major systems and appliances in a home as they are used over time. It guarantees a home buyer that if something breaks due to normal wear and tear, the warranty company will provide coverage to repair or replace it. Service Agreements also serve as an additional incentive for people to buy a home; recent studies have shown that homes on the market that include a Service Agreement sell faster and for more money.

For specific coverage details, it’s important to closely review your Service Agreement prior to submitting a service request.
