Coverage for the Day the Furnace Quits

Home warranty coverage for systems and appliances

A home warranty plan may help with the repair or replacement of covered items that wear out from normal use, based on your plan's terms.

Get Started

Learn the Rules While Nothing Is Broken

Most people learn how their home warranty works on a bad day, with water on the floor or a dryer that won't spin. I set up MelonaHomes to flip that order. You can look over covered systems, common exclusions and the steps for a service request while everything still runs.

What a plan includes always depends on the option you choose and its terms.

Items a Plan Can Include

  • Heating and Cooling

    Furnaces, central air units and ductwork take a beating every season. Many plans list them near the top.

  • Plumbing, Wiring and Water Heaters

    Leaking pipes, a dead outlet or a tank that stops heating may fall under the terms of your plan.

  • Kitchen and Laundry Appliances

    Think fridges, ovens, dishwashers, washers and dryers that wear out over years of daily loads.

How a Request Moves Along

  1. 1

    Pick a Plan

    Choose a plan that names the systems and appliances in your home. Most plans begin after a short waiting period.

  2. 2

    Send a Request

    When a covered item stops working, send a service request with a short note that explains what you saw go wrong.

  3. 3

    Get Matched

    Your request is matched with a qualified local technician, who comes out and looks over the problem in the home.

  4. 4

    Repair or Replace

    If the item is covered, the technician then repairs or replaces it, based on the terms that come with your plan.

When Something Broke at Home

“My water heater stopped heating in January. It was listed on my plan, so I sent a request and a local technician handled the repair.”
Winona P., Homeowner
“I checked which parts of my central air were listed before summer. When the compressor gave out in July, I already knew where I stood.”
Ambrose T., Homeowner
“My dishwasher leaked under the cabinet. The plan handled the dishwasher repair, and the warped floor turned out to be a separate matter.”
Henrietta L., Homeowner

Home Warranty Questions, Answered

Short answers to the things people ask me before they pick a plan. Your own plan terms always have the final word.

Most plans have a short waiting period after signup. A problem that starts during that window is usually not included, so it helps to sign up before anything acts up.

Damage from floods, pests or skipped upkeep is often left out, along with problems that existed before signup. Your plan's terms list each exclusion.

Most plans match you with a qualified local technician. A few allow outside help under certain rules, so check before you hire someone on your own.

Many plans offer a replacement of similar type and capacity when a repair is not possible. The exact rules sit in your plan's terms.

Often, yes, as long as they work at signup and later fail from normal use. Problems that existed before coverage started are usually left out.
