Refrigerator Home Warranty Coverage
When your fridge, freezer, or ice maker breaks down, it can force you to put your entire life on hold. Fortunately, a home warranty plan from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10 HBW) can protect your fridge against breakdowns and let you get back to living.
Why purchase a home warranty plan for your refrigerator?
You use your fridge more often than most of your home appliances. That means it’s more likely to break down, which can spoil your food, your plans, and your budget.
A home warranty plan from 2-10 HBW can help you avoid those problems. From vetting contractors to greatly reducing your out-of-pocket costs, 2-10 HBW is a home warranty company you can trust to take the burden of breakdowns off your shoulders.
