      Key insights

      In Louisiana, expect to pay about $35 to $100 per month (most plans cost around $50 to $60). Your exact rate depends on your provider, coverage level, home type and location, so grab multiple quotes to find the best deal.

      Jump to insight

      Since Louisiana’s hot, humid summers make a working AC essential (and repairs can run into the thousands), make sure your plan fully covers your cooling system before you sign.

      Jump to insight

      State law (Title 51) forces home warranty providers to spell out their terms, deductibles, exclusions and transfer rules upfront — and gives you a 20-day “cooling-off” window to cancel without penalty.

      How much does a home warranty cost in Louisiana?

      How to choose a Louisiana home warranty

      A good first step when shopping for a home warranty is deciding what kind of coverage you need. Much of this will depend on your individual circumstances, but living in Louisiana can present some common issues worth addressing.

      Louisiana’s hot, humid summers can make a working air conditioner a necessity, so it’s worth making sure your home warranty adequately covers your cooling system. Replacing an air conditioner can cost thousands of dollars, and you don’t want to be stuck without it on a 105-degree day while you wait to save up for a replacement.

      Once you know what coverage you’re looking for, you can find companies with plans that meet your criteria. Then you can read reviews, ideally from other Louisiana residents, and get quotes from multiple companies to comparison-shop before deciding which home warranty is right for you.

      Home warranty regulations in Louisiana

      The Louisiana State Legislature has paid more attention to home warranty regulations than many other state governments, which means residents have a fair amount of consumer protections.

      Title 51 of the state’s Revised Statutes outlines Louisiana’s home warranty laws and sets requirements for home warranty providers who want to operate in the state. Home warranty companies in Louisiana must outline the following information:

      • The name and address of the provider
      • Total purchase price and terms of service
      • Transparency of deductible amount
      • Limitations and exclusions of the chosen policy
      • Transferability restrictions (if applicable)

      Home warranty companies — also sometimes referred to as home service contracts — must also allow their policyholders to cancel their plan within 20 days of the contract start date.

      FAQ

      Is a home warranty worth it in Louisiana?

      It depends on your circumstances and priorities. A home warranty might be worth it in Louisiana if your home is in bad shape or an unexpected repair bill could cause you financial hardship. However, if nothing in your home breaks down, the money you spent on a home warranty would be for nothing. Analyze your personal risk level and purchase accordingly.

      What is the difference between a home warranty and homeowners insurance?

      The main difference between a home warranty and homeowners insurance comes down to the events they cover:

      • Home warranties cover the cost to repair or replace home appliances and systems that break down through normal use.
      • Homeowners insurance covers loss or damage to your home or belongings caused by specific perils named in your policy. These usually include fires or vandalism.

      While they may cover some of the same items, they’re meant to be used in different situations.

      How long do home warranties last?
      Home warranty coverage usually lasts 12 months, though you can pay monthly for most plans. Pay attention to any waiting periods (often 30 days from sign-up).

      Methodology

      ConsumerAffairs carefully collects in-depth, verified reviews to tell each customer’s experience with a company. We believe customer experiences are a crucial indicator when evaluating companies, so these reviews are a significant factor when selecting our top picks.

      To choose the top home warranty companies in Louisiana, we started with the popular providers listed in our main home warranty guide. First, we narrowed it down to the ones available in Louisiana. We then weighted several key features to get our final rankings:

      • Coverage options: We broke down each company’s home warranty plans to ensure they offer multiple coverage options to fit a variety of needs.
      • Plan flexibility: Customizing a plan can tailor it to your needs and help you save money. We checked to see what customization options each company offers, including the ability to select a service fee and the number and cost of add-on coverages.
      • Cost: Costs for home warranty plans vary based on the size of the home and the type of coverage, but we confirmed our top picks’ prices are competitive in the home warranty industry.
      • Service call fee: We looked at the service fee each company charged to send a technician to your house to ensure our top picks are in line with industry standards.
