What Is a Home Warranty?

What Is a Home Warranty?

A home warranty (or Home Warranty Service Agreement as we call it) is a powerful budget-protecting tool for homeowners. Learn more about why a Home Warranty Service Agreement is a smart investment below.

Why a Home Warranty Service Agreement is important

A Home Warranty Service Agreement is an annual service contract that can provide coverage for things that homeowners insurance doesn’t.

For example, if your furnace or A/C were to break down from routine use, homeowners insurance wouldn’t cover it. Without a Home Warranty Service Agreement, you could be on the hook for the costs.

Average costs to address breakdowns

Ave. repair cost^ Ave. replacement cost† With 2-10 HBW, as low as*
Furnace $425 $3,755 $85
A/C unit $425 $3,315 $85
Water heater $435 $1,665 $85
Refrigerator $340 $1,370 $85

^Based on estimated average retail cost of replacement and observed claims experiences of 2-10 HBW customers, 2019. Costs in your area may vary.

National averages based on data collected in November 2021. Costs in your area may vary.

*Service Fee per approved claim. See Service Agreement for all coverage details, limitations, and exclusions.

With a Home Warranty Service Agreement, you could lower those costs to a smaller, more manageable Service Fee.

A Service Fee is a small, out-of-pocket expense you pay to your Service Contractor to diagnose the issue upon arrival.

How does a Home Warranty Service Agreement work?

Here’s a quick, five-step rundown of how a Home Warranty Service Agreement works.
