Home Warranty Inc. also provides 24/7 live claim support and four-hour response times if the request isn’t answered immediately.

Home Warranty Inc. coverage and plans

Home Warranty Inc. offers four different home warranty plans. Customers can choose from the Appliance Protection Plan, the Supplemental Home Protection Plan, the Buyer Core Home Protection Plan and the Executive Home Protection Plan.

The company also provides extra coverage with SurgeShield Plus for $144 per contract, SurgeShield for $84 per contract, and Enhanced HVAC Plus for $100 per contract. Coverage starts on the application date.

Home Warranty Inc. also offers a 30-day warranty on work performed. This means that if an appliance or system fails within 30 days of repair, you will not be charged a second deductible for the same service call.

Plan details

Home Warranty Inc. covers appliances and systems regardless of age, make or model. Each plan covers heating and cooling units, washers and dryers, garage door openers and trash compactors.

The company also provides you with a “replacement allowance” equal to the cost you spent on an appliance for replacing an item if a technician can’t repair or replace it. This replacement allowance is a credit that can be used to purchase new parts or appliances.

Add-on coverage

Like most home warranty companies, Home Warranty Inc. offers add-on coverage for various appliances and systems. This company also provides the SurgeShield and SurgeShield Plus Plan, which covers appliances and electronics. The cost of each additional item is added to the contract.

What does Home Warranty Inc. not cover?

Home Warranty Inc., like most home warranty companies, has many limitations and exclusions. This company only covers repairs and replacements caused by normal wear and tear and excludes damages caused by misuse.

Here are some other items Home Warranty Inc. doesn’t cover in its contract:

  • Conditions resulting from neglect
  • Acts of god
  • Damage from abuse
  • Pet or pest damage
  • Lack of adequate power or water supply
  • Power failures or surges
  • Removal or disposal
  • Appliances or systems under a manufacturer's warranty
  • Cosmetic repairs
  • Corrosion and rust
  • Routine maintenance
  • Mold, mildew, fungus and rot
  • Expendable items such as light bulbs and filters
  • Consequential damage
  • Food spoilage
  • Venting, knobs and dials
  • Structural defects
  • Portable spas
  • Inaccessible systems and appliances
  • Well casings
  • Pressure or storage tanks
  • Bathtub shell or liner
  • Stand-alone ice makers
  • Failure caused by foreign objects

Home Warranty Inc. coverage caps

Home Warranty Inc. has coverage caps, meaning that the company will pay up to a certain amount on parts and repairs, and then you are responsible for the rest. This company's coverage caps vary by plan. The core plans have lower limits than the Executive plans, but the Appliance Protection Plan and the Supplemental Home Protection Plan have the same coverage caps.

Home Warranty Inc. cost

Home Warranty Inc. offers four plans with monthly and yearly pricing. For annual pricing, you must contact a service representative. Each plan, except the Appliance Protection Plan, has a $100 deductible for every service call, and you can expect to pay $5 to $76 a month at the time of publishing.

The ConsumerAffairs Research Team received a quote for $5 to $14 per month per covered appliance for the Appliance Protection Plan, $30 per month for the Supplemental Home Protection Plan, $52 per month for the Buyer Core Home Protection Plan, and $76 per month for the Executive Home Protection Plan.

    I’ve been a Real Estate Investor and Real Estate agent/broker for over 25 years. Home Warranty Inc is the worst warranty company I’ve ever worked with ever. They try to get out of covering as much as possible. This is not a warranty. It’s a scam. We insured a 10 Plex with them at a cost of $4200.00. Every single claim we have had they have tried to find a way to not cover it or ended up covering less than half the cost. This company is ridiculous. I will never do business with them ever again. Technically I can’t find a reason to give them even a quarter of a star!

    Worst company and just a complete scam. I would give 0 stars if I could. If you have any issues that should be covered under warranty that you PAY for, this company will decline your claim and give you the run around so they don't have to help pay out, even when you paid for a warranty to help protect you in that case. They do not relay "the policy" to you and pick and choose when they want to approve or deny, with denial being their favorite answer. Do not use this company.

      Zero customer service. A serious waste of money. They will not talk to us. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. A total disappointment in purchasing a new home. We thought we were protected. This company is a joke.

      The experience has been costly and very poor, terrible customer service. They do not provide the coverages they indicate or they propose they will. You would be better off to self insure than to pay them for a home warranty and they do not even care if you are taken care of or not. Horrible experience. It's no wonder the insurance broker whom originally listed me with them dropped them. I should have dropped them immediately as well.

      What a joke, you have to pay for all of Your repairs. Then they’ll decide if they’ll pay for them… I live outside of HOUSTON TX and they have NO companies they work with…. They have zero… in the entire state…. How are they allowed to do business in a state they have ZERO partners... If this warranty came with your home, get a refund of whatever months you did not use as you won’t get to use the service anyway.

      This company is a complete scam. Although they position themselves as if they are fully covering all repairs to your home, the facts are they have low ball caps on all repairs that no contractors can reasonably work with. You'll be lucky to get half of the cost of any repair. Once a claim is made and there is a short fall, they say that all caps are disclosed in the agreement and expect their customers to have reviewed and know the market cost of every single part, of any mechanical component or appliance that could possibly break down in your home.

      We had an issue with our AC. One of the main trunks that feeds 3 of our room disconnected because a strap failed. I only had the option to use 2 garbage ac vendors with this garbage Warranty company. 1 guy never called be back because he didn't want to go in the attic. The other company told me the trunk was installed incorrectly. My issue is when I bought this house there were no issues raised with the inspector. There were no issues when this house was initially built assuming it passed inspection. This is exactly what the home Warranty id got and this piece of shit company denied to pay for the fix because the vendor that came out said it was not installed correctly. Total scam. Nice note... once I figured out what was actually wrong with the ac I fixed it myself in 30 mins. I should have just looked at it myself 1st.

      My A/C went out. We followed the process and got approval to have it looked at. The diagnostician came and wrote a whole write up about what was wrong, what should be replaced etc. We decided to do a band-aid fix for the time being. They supplied an invoice for the parts needed for that. I submitted the invoice and was told it was approved. Now, they are saying they didn't approve the parts I submitted for, but they were talking about the other parts mentioned in the recommendation. Why the heck would they approve something I didn't submit for? And, now, they will not honor what they told me, stating I should have understood all the intricacies of A/C parts and should have known. I would never use them again. And I agree with other reviews... The "manager" was rude and condescending.

      This is a scam. Do not use this company. We bought a home and got coverage. After two months we had a plumbing issue with sewage coming through the shower drain. They refused to cover it. To top it off the man we talked to was rude and condescending.

      Buyers Beware – Total Waste of Money. We purchased the premium home warranty package when we bought our home in October 2024, including the add-on for sprinkler system coverage. As anyone familiar with North Dakota knows, sprinkler systems must be winterized in September or October to prevent freeze damage. Ours was professionally blown out as soon as we moved in.

      Fast forward to spring—sprinkler systems in this region typically aren’t used again until late May, after the last freeze. We hired a professional sprinkler company to perform the spring startup and inspection. They found that multiple valves weren’t working properly. I filed a claim with the home warranty company immediately. Despite having the coverage, they denied the claim, saying it was a "pre-existing condition." That’s absolutely ridiculous, considering the system was winterized upon move-in and wasn’t even operational until months later.

      To make matters worse, this company has no partnered service providers in our town. You're expected to find your own technician, and good luck finding one who’s willing to work with them. Even if you do, you're likely stuck paying a significant amount out of pocket if anything needs to be replaced. This company is a complete scam. They take your money and leave you high and dry when it actually matters. I would never recommend them to anyone.
