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.
