It’s hard to understate the value of a home warranty for Buyers and Sellers. Sellers leverage home warranties more than any other incentive, even cash considerations, to get under contract faster and for more money. Buyers find value in a home warranty because it saves them time and money, along with the peace of mind it provides. And now, a home warranty is providing even more value to homeowners, given the current circumstances. Let’s look at why a home warranty is more valuable to your clients than ever.
Increased Use = More Breakdowns
With more people working from home post-pandemic than pre-pandemic, systems and appliances use has risen dramatically.
- 23% more refrigerator use^^
- 22% more overall electricity use^
- 21% more overall water use†
- 21% more sink use
- 20% more toilet use
- 16% more shower use
With more use comes more breakdowns, which can be costly and burdensome. But homeowners who have a Home Warranty Service Plan from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10) have solutions to those breakdowns.
A Home Warranty Offers More Predictability
Many homeowners have had to make unexpected changes to their lifestyles. Using their electricity more while they work from home, potentially caring for more people under their roof, and increased systems and appliances use put homeowners in a position where unpredictability reigns.
Put simply, breakdowns don’t occur on a schedule. But with a 2-10 Home Warranty Service Plan, homeowners can get their life back on track. Time and again, 2-10 has helped homeowners find high-quality, independent Service Contractors, schedule service appointments, protect their budgets, and get their homes humming again.

One of the biggest challenges homeowners have faced in addressing breakdowns is finding someone who can help. Service Contractors have been in high demand. Fortunately, 2-10’s independent contractor network has allowed homeowners to find and schedule appointments with approved, local contractors. That means less time spent worrying about quality and wondering when they can expect a solution to their problem.
To continue providing timely, reliable solutions, 2-10 has grown our contractor network and support staff to keep up with demand. And homeowners have noticed. It’s a big reason why 2-10 was awarded a Most Trusted Home Warranty Company of 2024 badge from Best Company and why we have such strong customer ratings from Best Company and Google alike.
