What Home Warranty Coverage Includes

Home warranties cover a wide variety of home systems and appliances in order to help you repair or replace these items when they break down. What's included in your home warranty coverage tends to vary based on the home warranty provider and the warranty plan.

A majority of plans tend to cover major household appliances (such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, etc.) and critical home systems (such as central air and some plumbing).

Oftentimes, people choose to get a home warranty in order to avoid the high cost of replacing or repairing expensive equipment. In many cases, the replacement of a single appliance or home system makes the entire cost of a home warranty a good value.

At American Home Protect, we strive to make your home warranty coverage feel valuable. Our coverage plans include a wide variety of appliances and systems to ensure that your needs are met. Unlike many other home warranty companies, we also offer handyman services directly from us. Our handymen can help with things as big as plumbing issues to things as small as mounting a TV! And to make sure that you're confident in the quality of our service, we're NHSCA certified.

What’s Included in American Home Protect Warranty Coverage?

Our home warranty plans cover the repair or replacement of a variety of appliances and home systems. Coverage varies based on the plan that you have, and certain items are optional since not every homeowner has the optional items in their home.

It's worth noting that our home warranty coverage is for appliances and home systems that break down due to proper use over time or because of some unexpected mechanical failure. Systems need to be properly maintained in order for them to qualify for home warranty coverage. For more details on when something is covered by our home warranty, call our enrollments department at (877) 407-3820 or review your contract.

When you have a home warranty through American Home Protect, you also get the benefits of our handyman services. We can send handymen directly to your home to help with a variety of tasks, including anything from dryer vent cleaning to electrical outlet replacement. Often, you won't have to pay anything beyond your deductible in order to have this service carried out.
