You can also add optional riders to customize your plan. These add-ons cover items like swimming pools, hot tubs, septic systems and roof leaks (though roof coverage is not available for condos or mobile homes).

HSA Home Warranty cost

HSA costs vary widely based on your location and property type. As of 2026, annual premiums for standard plans range from $495 to $635. The trade service call fee, which you pay for in addition to the premium for each repair, ranges from $100 to $125.

For our sample home in Illinois, a quote for one year of coverage was $535 with a $100 service call fee.

Our sample plan in Illinois also listed the following prices for 11 potential coverage add-ons:

  • Electronics protection plan from Allstate: $216
  • Water well pump/septic system: $100
  • Electronic air cleaner: $40
  • Clothes washer/dryer: $70

  • 7 Star Upgrade (for more coverage): $149

HSA Home Warranty exclusions and limits

HSA Home Warranty plans generally come with some exclusions and limitations. You can find specific information in the “Limitations of Liability” section of your plan brochure, but expect these exclusions:

  • Preexisting defects or other issues that were easily detectable before you signed the contract
  • Damage caused by weather, such as storms, fire, ice or earthquakes
  • Any issues related to hazardous materials
  • Accessing covered components or systems other than plumbing or ductwork
  • Problems with water pressure or electrical surges
  • Cosmetic repairs like finishes, cabinetry or trim
  • Equipment owned by a condominium association
  • Repairs associated with manufacturer recalls or defects

Coverage limits

Plans also have specific financial limits. A typical HSA plan might have an aggregate coverage limit of $25,000, but smaller sublimits apply to specific items. For example, other coverage limits from our sample Illinois quote include the following:

You can find more details about coverage and optional add-ons in the sample brochure for your state.

HSA Home Warranty claims process

When a covered item fails, you can file a claim online or by calling the 24/7 service line. HSA Home Warranty will then assign a local, qualified contractor to diagnose the problem. You must pay the trade call fee at the time of service.

It’s important for HSA to speak with the contractor before work begins to confirm coverage. If the repair is approved, the company covers the costs up to your plan's specific limits. If there’s an issue with the workmanship within 30 days of the service, HSA will send the contractor back out for no extra charge.

HSA Home Warranty FAQ

What is covered by an HSA home warranty?

HSA plans typically cover major home systems and appliances that fail due to normal wear and tear. This includes central heating and air conditioning, interior plumbing, electrical systems and core kitchen appliances like refrigerators, ovens and dishwashers. You buy optional add-on coverage for items like swimming pools, well pumps, septic systems and roof leak repairs.

How much does an HSA home warranty cost?

Costs vary by location and plan type, but annual premiums generally range from $495 to $635. Unlike some home warranty providers, HSA requires you to pay for the full year of coverage upfront. You’re also responsible for service fees, which typically range from $100 to $125 per visit.

Does HSA Home Warranty require home inspections?

No, you can purchase a home warranty from HSA without a home inspection. Your systems must be in good working order at the start of the contract, as the company doesn’t cover preexisting issues.

Are HSA home warranties transferable?

Yes. If you sell your home while it’s still under HSA warranty, the remaining coverage transfers to the new owner. You should contact HSA directly to make sure everything transfers correctly.

    I have had multiple claims with HSA Home Warranty, and while my first experience started reasonably well, the overall service has become extremely disappointing and concerning. My first claim involved both my dishwasher and range hood exhaust fan failing. The dishwasher was ultimately replaced under full coverage, which I appreciated. However, the installation was done incorrectly, and I had to arrange to have the issue corrected myself.

    My second claim involved the range hood exhaust fan. In February 2026, the claim was assigned to Titus Appliance Group LLC. I was informed that a replacement part would be ordered, but after months of waiting, I still have not received any updates or resolution. Each time I contacted HSA, I was told the ticket was being “escalated” and that they would reach out to the contractor. I was also told that if the contractor failed to respond, HSA would follow up with me directly. Unfortunately, that never happened, and as of May 2026, the issue remains unresolved. Most concerning was my recent hot water tank claim in May 2026. HSA assigned JD's Best of the Best Services as the contractor. I was informed I would need to pay approximately $1,100 out of pocket to bring the installation “up to code.”

    However, after researching the requirements for Euclid, Ohio, I discovered that replacing a hot water tank requires a plumbing permit and final inspection under Ohio and local building codes. Contractors are responsible for obtaining permits, ensuring code compliance, and scheduling inspections with the Euclid Building Department. Despite this, no permit was obtained and no inspection was scheduled for the installation.

    I am deeply concerned that HSA continues to use contractors who appear to cut corners while passing large costs on to homeowners. Customers trust home warranty companies to provide qualified, licensed professionals who follow local codes and safety requirements. Unfortunately, my experience has shown poor communication, lack of accountability, delayed repairs, and questionable contractor practices. At this point, I cannot confidently recommend HSA Home Warranty based on my experiences.

    Company was quick and easy to talk to when setting up warranty. Furnace went out shortly after buying the home. Since then I have contacted the company multiple times to utilize the warranty. Phone reps are difficult to understand and are unable to repeat back to me to confirm what I said. Company seems like a scam. I have also emailed the company multiple times, no reply. I spent thousands out of my pocket to fix the furnace.

      This is the worst home warranty ever. Customer service does not speak English. Horrible wait times. Once you get someone the people they use can not get you in, or fix any issues. Then you spin your wheels and finally just pay it out of your own pocket.

      Worst warranty company on the planet. We 'inherited' this warranty when we bought the home from our sellers. We've had 3 issues within the first 6 months of buying the house. 2 plumbing related - one they flat out refused to cover saying it was 'external' pipes and those aren't covered even thought they're marketing materials call that out as one of their 'advantages' over other companies and the 2nd they sent out a plumber who said the water we were seeing under our flooring was ground water seepage. Thankfully, we had other contractors here doing some remodeling who took one look after they left and correctly diagnosed that the tub drain wasn't set properly and was leaking.

      Our third and most recent issue is that there were some issues discovered during annual service of our furnace. The unit is old and the service provider they sent informed them parts could not be obtained so they grudgingly approved a replacement. Of course, they won't let the local provider get the unit (because they want to be able to ship the cheapest replacement they can find). So they order a unit, it shows up and when it's being installed, they find that HSA sent the wrong unit - it literally won't work with our existing ducts, etc.

      This was discovered AFTER they disconnected our existing unit. So we are now on day 6 of ZERO heating or AC. They could care less. They just keep saying they've ordered the right one and it'll be here by the end of the week, which means best case, we'll get a new system 12 days after our existing one was disconnected. It was 44 degrees in our house this morning.

      I attempted to chat message with them and every time we reach a point where they have no good answer to my questions, they miraculously have 'technical issues' that boot you from the chat and transfer you to a new agent who tells you they don't have access to the chat history and you have to start all over. I've called multiple times and either am on hold for hours or when I do get someone, they are reading from the same AI script as the chatbot/person and are USELESS. This company has THE WORST service I've ever encountered. We will be switching to another company the second our contract that came with the house expires.

      I had had this warranty for 5 years paid with no problem. When I finally need it for a service in my home, I got nothing. There was a drain in my laundry room backing up and water was going everywhere. I called multiple times to be assigned contractors that would not show or just cancel for no reason at all. After 4 days of this going on I was afraid my basement would flood. I called in to cancel my service request because a contractor could not be found. I ended up having to pay out of pocket for the plumbing issue. Called HSA to see if I could be reimbursed as it was their fault that they have suck terrible contractors associated with the company. I was told because I did not let the work order sit longer I could not be reimbursed!

      Do Not Use. The contractors they partner with are minimal quality. I've had to contract my own provider to fix their contractor mistakes on HVAC (dryer and furnance). It nearly cost me my house due to a fire.

      Run fast and far away from this place. Contacted them about a service request for a bad heat pump. They told me they would have a contractor contact me within 24 hours. I didn't get a call from the designated service team, so I called and sent an email to them with no response. I couldn't wait any longer without heat, so I contacted another company that said my unit was 35 years old and needed to be replaced. At this point, the designated company called me to schedule to come out. By then, I was already having another company replace my unit to which HSA says they won't cover anything and they refused to have someone call me back. DO NOT USE HSA- Horrible company. Now I have to contact a lawyer for either some kind of reimbursement for the heat pump or my monthly fees back I've been paying for years. RUN AWAY FAST.

      This company was of no help to me whatsoever when my water heater went out, and they showcased the most terrible, useless and unhelpful service I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. This company should honestly be ashamed of what kind of customer service that they provide and represent as a company. I will NOT be renewing my service with this horrible company. From management all the way down to their associates, the customer service that I experienced was beyond horrible.

      Nature of Dispute: Failure to provide emergency service and wrongful denial of reimbursement. ​Detailed Description: I am seeking full reimbursement for a water heater replacement that was necessitated by a plumbing emergency on Saturday, January 24th. At approximately 5:00 PM, the water heater valve sheared off, causing active flooding in my basement and leaving my home without hot water. This occurred immediately preceding a forecasted snowstorm of 12+ inches and extreme cold. ​Timeline of Events: ​Jan 24, 5:00 PM: Emergency occurred. I submitted an online claim immediately. HSA assigned a contractor who does not work weekends and, as of three days later, has still never contacted me.

      ​Jan 24, Evening: Attempted to reach HSA’s emergency line. I was met with hold times exceeding one hour and was unable to speak with a representative to dispatch an urgent technician. Due to the active flooding and the impending blizzard, I could not leave my property at risk of further structural damage. I contacted an independent plumber who diagnosed the unit; the valve was non-repairable, requiring a full replacement. ​Jan 25, Morning: I contacted HSA to update them. The representative summarily denied reimbursement because I did not "wait" for their unresponsive contractor to approve the work—despite the fact that their contractor was unavailable and the situation was a flooding emergency.

      ​Escalation: I requested a supervisor. I was promised a callback within 24 hours. It has now been significantly longer than 24 hours and finally call back. Supervisor just regurgitated the exact same information as other representatives like a robot. Still no call from their plumber. Jan 28, Afternoon: HSA plumber finally contacts us 4 days later via email saying they cannot schedule anything for another week. So per HSA we are supposed to wait for heated water for 2 plus weeks in snowstorm and below 0 temperatures just because we have to use their incompetent plumbers that are unresponsive just like HSA.

      ​Argument for Reimbursement: HSA’s failure to provide a responsive "emergency" solution during a flood and a natural weather disaster forced my hand to mitigate further damage to my home (as is my responsibility as a homeowner). As well as provide dangerous situation for my 2 children and wife to not have heated water in below 0 temps and snowstorms for 2 plus weeks. It is unreasonable to expect a customer to allow a basement to flood for a week while waiting for a non-responsive, third-party contractor. HSA failed to fulfill their contractual obligation to provide timely service for an emergency claim.

      Upfront payment for little to no service or unfriendly service. The company they dispatched for my furnace basically told me they can show up whenever they feel like it, despite having an appointment between 7-8. Don't waste your time or money. Network. Talk to your friends and find someone legitimate.
