Frontdoor, Inc. Honors National Home Warranty Day
Frontdoor, Inc., the nation’s leading provider of home warranties and structural home warranties, is celebrating National Home Warranty Day by recognizing its prominent brands that deliver unparalleled value and protection to homeowners across the United States.
A home warranty is a one-year service contract designed to help cover the repair and replacement costs of home systems and appliances that break down due to normal wear and tear. It complements homeowner’s insurance by offering protection against issues that insurance typically doesn’t cover, such as the gradual deterioration of systems and appliances over time.
“As a homeowner, you know how overwhelming it can be when something in your home breaks down unexpectedly. It’s not a question of if, but when a system or appliance will fail,” said Kathy Collins, Chief Revenue Officer of Frontdoor, Inc. “As the leader in home warranties, we believe it is essential to continue educating homeowners on the significant benefits that a home warranty can bring, not only to their homes but also to their budgets. In honor of National Home Warranty Day, we want to highlight how a home warranty can provide peace of mind and protect your finances.”
Homeowner’s insurance and home warranties serve different purposes. Homeowner’s insurance typically covers damage from unexpected events like fires, storms, or theft, but it doesn’t provide protection for normal wear and tear that happens as systems and appliances age. This is where a home warranty comes into play. It steps in to cover the repair or replacement of home systems and appliances as they experience breakdowns from regular use.
However, it’s important to understand that not all home warranty plans or providers are created equal. It’s vital to choose a provider that offers a variety of plans and options, allowing you to customize your coverage based on the specific systems and appliances that are most important to you and your budget.
How Home Service Plans Protect Your Budget
Home service plans are an excellent way to manage the financial impact of unexpected breakdowns. When a system or appliance fails, rather than paying for the full cost of repairs or replacements out-of-pocket, a home service plan helps to manage the costs by offering affordable service fees and coverage for covered items. This is a significant benefit for homeowners who want to avoid the financial burden of unexpected repairs.
Convenience and Stress-Free Repairs with Professional Contractors
Choosing a reputable provider with an extensive network of contractors can save homeowners time and stress. With American Home Shield and 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty, customers gain access to a nationwide network of over 17,000 independent contractors. This means that homeowners don’t have to waste time searching for qualified professionals, as the provider takes care of arranging service calls, providing peace of mind throughout the repair process.
Home Warranties Are Beneficial at Every Stage of Homeownership
While many people associate home warranties with real estate transactions, they’re not just for buyers or sellers. Whether you’re in the process of buying or selling a home, or you’ve been a homeowner for years, a home warranty is a smart investment at any stage. Homeowners can purchase a home warranty plan at any time, allowing them to protect their home and budget from unexpected breakdowns, no matter where they are in the homeownership journey.
