Understand the difference

Home warranty vs. homeowners insurance.

They serve different purposes. Homeowners insurance generally helps protect against covered property losses from events such as fire, certain storms or theft. A home warranty is typically a service contract for specified systems and appliances that break down over time, often due to normal wear and tear.

  • ✓Homeowners insurance: covered property damage or loss from listed risks, subject to the policy.
  • ✓Home warranty: specified repair or replacement services for eligible covered systems and appliances, subject to the service contract.
  • ✓They are not substitutes: review both documents to understand what each product does—and does not—cover.

Home warranty questions

Helpful answers before you choose a plan.

Understand how service contracts work, what can affect pricing and what to review before enrolling.

A home warranty is commonly used to describe a residential service contract. It may provide for repair or replacement of specified home systems and appliances when an eligible breakdown occurs during the contract term. The written agreement—not the general description—sets out coverage, limits, exclusions and service fees.

Depending on the plan, covered items may include heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing, electrical components, water heaters, kitchen appliances, washers and dryers, and garage door openers. Optional coverage may be available for items such as pools, spas, roof leaks, exterior lines, well pumps, sump pumps or septic systems. Coverage differs by contract and state.

Many home service contracts are designed to address covered breakdowns associated with normal wear and tear. Specific requirements, maintenance obligations, pre-existing condition rules and exclusions vary. Review the agreement before purchasing.

No. Homeowners insurance generally addresses covered property losses from specified risks, while a home warranty service contract may cover defined repairs or other remedies for eligible breakdowns of listed systems and appliances. One does not replace the other.

Pricing can depend on your ZIP Code or location, the type and size of your home, the plan selected, optional coverage and the service call fee. Ask for the full price, including applicable taxes and fees, before enrolling. This website does not publish a price because availability and rates can vary.

It is a fee that may be due when you request service under a plan. The amount and when it applies are stated in the service contract. Check whether additional charges can apply for non-covered work, modifications or items outside the agreement.

The agreement explains the remedies available when a covered item qualifies for service. Depending on the contract and circumstances, this may include repair, replacement or another permitted settlement. Review coverage caps, limits of liability and cash-in-lieu provisions where applicable.

Eligibility rules differ. Some plans may cover eligible items regardless of age, while others may have condition, maintenance, inspection or other requirements. Confirm the rules in the agreement available for your state.

Follow the service request instructions in your contract. Depending on the plan, requests may be submitted online or by phone. Service availability, response times and provider assignment procedures are governed by the agreement.

Optional coverage may be offered for certain home features, which can include pools and spas, roof leaks, exterior lines, well pumps, sump pumps, septic systems and additional refrigerators or freezers. Options vary by plan, home and state, and may cost extra.

Home warranty service contracts may be relevant to current homeowners, homebuyers, home sellers and real estate professionals. The available plans, eligibility and any real estate transaction terms should be confirmed for the property and state.
