What does a home warranty cover?

A home warranty may cover certain systems like central air conditioning, heating, plumbing, electrical, and water heaters, as well as appliances like refrigerators, stoves, washers, and dryers. For a complete list of what a 2-10 HBW home warranty covers, check out our systems and appliances page.

Do I need to register my home warranty?

No, you do not need to register your warranty. Coverage is active as of your effective date, pending payment. However, setting up your account in Homeowner Portal ensures 24/7 access to submit a claim, review your coverage, and access our homeowner perks and programs.

How do I request service or file a claim?

To request service, log in to your Homeowner Portal account, select the system or appliance that needs service, answer a few questions, and we’ll dispatch an authorized Service Contractor to your home.

Do you cover older appliances?

Yes. If the covered system or appliance is in working order when you purchase a 2-10 HBW home warranty (i.e., doesn’t have a pre-existing problem), age doesn’t matter.

What’s the difference between a home warranty and homeowners insurance?

A home warranty is an annual contract that can help reduce the costs to repair or replace covered systems and appliances that break down from normal wear and tear.

Homeowners insurance covers loss from incidents like fire, storms, or vandalism. The coverages provided by a home warranty and homeowners insurance typically don’t overlap and often complement one another to provide comprehensive protection.

Where can I view or download my home warranty?

You can find your home warranty by logging into Homeowner Portal and selecting the Download Service Agreement button on the home page. Your home warranty info becomes available 30 days after the effective date.

What is a home warranty?

A home warranty (or Home Warranty Service Agreement as we call it) is a powerful budget-protecting service contract for homeowners that can provide coverage for things that homeowners insurance doesn’t.
