Buying a home warranty in Ohio can be an easy process. First, think about what you want covered. Is it your heating and cooling systems, kitchen appliances or plumbing? Make a list of your priorities to guide your search.
Next, take a close look at the different plans available. Some might cover just your appliances, while others offer more comprehensive coverage. Compare the costs, what’s included and any additional fees to find the best fit for you.
Also, check if companies belong to any industry associations, like the National Home Service Contract Association (NHSCA). This can give you confidence in a company’s credibility.
The Ohio attorney general’s office governs home warranty companies in Ohio. Though there are laws that determine what a home warranty is in the state, there are no specific regulations.
If you think something isn't quite right with a home warranty company, reach out to the Ohio attorney general’s office at 800-282-0515 or visit the attorney general’s website. The office also has some helpful information for purchasing a service contract in Ohio.
While the national average for a home warranty ranges from $450 to $600 per year as of publishing, these costs can vary. Factors like your location in Ohio, the specific company and plan you choose and the availability of discounts (like for bundling or purchasing multiple years of coverage) all play a role in the final cost.
A home warranty can give you peace of mind, especially if the cost of unexpected repairs or replacements of major appliances and systems would strain your budget. The decision to purchase this type of coverage depends on factors like your financial situation, the age and condition of your home's appliances and systems and your personal risk tolerance.

Home warranties and home insurance policies are two distinct forms of protection. Homeowners insurance is required by mortgage lenders and covers damage to your home and belongings due to events like fires, storms or theft.
A home warranty, on the other hand, is optional and covers repairs or replacements for appliances and systems that break down due to normal wear and tear.
