What is a home warranty and how does it protect you?
A home warranty is a service contract that covers repair and replacement costs for your home's systems and appliances when they break down from routine use. Whether you've lived in the same home for years or recently purchased the home of your dreams, a home warranty can protect you and your budget from unexpected costs.
68%
of homes will experience a breakdown each year.
That's almost 7 in 10 homes! And your homeowners insurance policy won't cover it.
Why should you consider purchasing a home warranty?
The cost to repair a major appliance or get a replacement system can be expensive and inconvenient, especially when you don’t expect it.
Did you
know?
1 in 5 brand-new appliances will break down within the first 4 years of ownership.

What's your plan to cover these breakdown costs?
Fortunately, comprehensive coverage from 2-10 HBW can help you expect the unexpected.
How do you know you should consider purchasing a home warranty?
If your home has systems like an air conditioner or appliances like a refrigerator, you should consider purchasing a home warranty. Every single home system and home appliance can break down from normal wear and tear someday. When that happens, your homeowners insurance policy can't help you.
Without a home warranty, breakdowns and the cost for you to address them are entirely unexpected.

Home Warranty Reviews from 2-10 HBW Customers
What do people say about 2-10 HBW?
Hinesville, GA
I had Choice Home Warranty at first and that was the worst home warranty. When I first got 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, as soon as I got with them, my AC unit went out and I was without air for the whole month of July. It was hot, we had to move in my basement. The contractor came out and he told me that my condenser and something else went out, that it was just as good as me having to get a new one, because nobody was gonna have those parts anymore. They tried to find the part but they couldn’t find them, and then they just gave me another AC unit, and it was a good one. It was Goodman. If that had been Choice Home Warranty, they would have probably said, "It's been too soon. We're not gonna do that." Or if they did do it, "We'll pay half and you have to pay for the rest." But 2-10 took care of me, so I'm gonna be a life-long customer. READ MORE
