Home warranty basics

What Is a Home Warranty?

A home warranty is a service contract that may help with covered repairs to listed home systems and appliances.

Home warranty coverage varies by provider, plan, location, and contract terms. Best Home Warranty Near Me may receive compensation when users request quotes or purchase coverage through partner links.

The plain-English version

A home warranty is not homeowners insurance. It is a service contract. It may help pay for covered repair or replacement when listed systems or appliances break from normal wear and tear.
