Our customers have found the below questions and answers helpful when making a decision to sign up for one of our plans. We hope that you will have all your questions answered and will feel empowered to confidently select a home warranty plan with us.
HOME WARRANTY BASICS
A home warranty is a service contract that covers the repair and replacement of parts and components of your home’s systems and appliances when they break down, malfunction or fail due to normal wear and tear.
A home warranty can protect you against expensive, unforeseen repair bills. It provides peace of mind, knowing that repairing or replacing covered appliances and home systems will not break the budget.
For those on a fixed income, a home warranty plan can be a useful tool. For homeowners who don’t have an emergency fund or who want to protect their emergency fund, a home warranty can act as a safeguard. Home warranties also make sense for people who aren’t handy, lack expertise or who don’t have time to fix a home system or appliance that breaks down.
Instead of paying the full retail cost to repair or replace a covered item, a warranty plan with Guard Home Warranty helps you manage the costs of unforeseen covered breakdowns and malfunctions.
No. Guard Home Warranty does not require a home inspection nor do we request maintenance records before you purchase a warranty plan. Additionally, we won’t refuse coverage based on the age of your home’s systems and appliances. However, covered items must be properly installed and in good working order at the time of your coverage start date in order to qualify for coverage. Consequently, known or unknown pre-existing conditions are not covered under Guard Home Warranty service contracts unless otherwise noted in your contract.
A home warranty helps protect your budget and wallet when a covered item breaks down. If you have a home warranty plan with us, you pay for your warranty plan and a set $95 Trade Service Call Fee for approved claims instead of paying the full cost of the repair or replacement out of pocket when a covered item breaks down.
For those on a fixed income, a home warranty plan with us can be a useful budgeting tool. Additionally, for homeowners who don’t have an emergency fund or who want to protect their emergency fund, a home warranty can act as a safeguard.
If you choose not to purchase a home warranty plan, and a system or appliance breaks down, you would be responsible for the full cost of the repair or replacement of that item.
