Frontdoor, Inc., the nation's leading provider of home warranties and structural home warranties, recognizes National Home Warranty Day in honor of its leading brands that bring unmatched value and protection to homeowners nationwide.
A home warranty is a one-year service contract that helps cover the repair and replacement costs when parts of covered systems and appliances break down due to normal wear and tear. It complements homeowner's insurance by protecting things insurance doesn't, like normal wear and tear.
"If you're a homeowner, you know how stressful owning a home can be. It's not a matter of if a home system or appliance will break down, it's when. As the founder and leader in home warranties, it's critical that we continue to educate homeowners on the value a home warranty can bring to people's homes and budgets," said Frontdoor, Inc. Chief Revenue Officer Kathy Collins. "In honor of National Home Warranty Day, we want to share important facts on what a home warranty is, how it works and how it can help protect budgets and bring peace of mind."
- Homeowner's insurance is different from a home warranty plan. While insurance covers you when Mother Nature strikes, it doesn't protect you from the natural wear and tear that your home's major systems and appliances go through during the aging process. That's where a home warranty steps in. It can cover home systems and appliances that will break down over time.
- Not all plans or providers are created equal. Choose a provider with a variety of plans and options so you include the home system components and appliances that matter most to you and fit your budget.
- Home services plans can help protect your budget. If a system or appliance in your home unexpectedly goes on the fritz, your wallet doesn't need to suffer. Instead of paying the full retail cost to repair or replace a covered item, a home service plan helps homeowners manage the costs of unexpected breakdowns.
- Save time and avoid stress knowing help is on the way. Choose a provider with a broad network of professional contractors. American Home Shield and 2-10 offer a nationwide network of more than 17,000 independent home service contractors, saving homeowners from the stress of finding a qualified local contractor.
- They make sense whether buying, selling or already in your home. Many people associate home service plans with a check-the-box item in a real estate transaction. However, a home warranty is for anyone at any stage of homeownership. Whether you're in the selling process, buying process or already a homeowner, you can purchase a home warranty at any time.
