What is Assurant service protection?

Assurant’s service protection is an appliance warranty program you can purchase for appliances when buying a home. It extends the life of a manufacturer’s warranty, covering functional parts and labor after the warranty expires.

With Assurant service protection, 100% of functional parts and labor are covered if you submit a claim. This does not cover problems due to random acts of nature, cosmetic damages or issues caused by power outages. All services are completed by reputable technicians, and plans can be transferred to a new owner if you move before your protection is up.

How does Assurant service protection work?

With Assurant service protection, homeowners create a plan centered on which appliances they want covered — typical selections include stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines and TVs. You can choose to cover up to nine appliances with one plan, though your products must be no more than 15 years old.

After choosing your plan, you can sign up for coverage that's effective within 48 hours if the product is under manufacturer's warranty or 30 days if it isn't. Then, in the case of an appliance malfunction, you file a claim and wait to receive care from Assurant’s network of authorized specialists.

Assurant service protection costs

The price of an Assurant service protection plan varies based on a few factors, including where you’re located, the product type and brand and when your appliances were installed. For example, a three-year plan for a side-by-side GE refrigerator installed in July 2020 in Kansas City costs $402.33, while a Frigidaire dishwasher installed at the same time in the same city runs $218.85 for a three-year plan.

You can save on the overall cost by purchasing more years of coverage. Assurant also offers the option to pay in four installments. Its plans include a $50 deductible.

Assurant service protection FAQ

Is there a waiting period for Assurant service protection?
If your product is still under warranty, your appliances can be covered in under 48 hours. If your product is no longer covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty or your service contract has expired, your new plan will start 30 days after purchase.
What systems does Assurant cover?
Assurant covers all functional parts and labor costs if a protected item fails. Products available for coverage include refrigerators, small kitchen appliances, microwaves, washers, dryers, dishwashers, freezers, ovens, ranges and cooktops less than 15 years old and TVs less than 10 years old.
Is Assurant service protection available everywhere?
According to the website, Assurant has a vast network of technicians, so service should be offered widely. If no technicians are available in your area, you can ask for a refund.

Is Assurant service protection worth it?

Assurant is a well-known name in the insurance industry, and its service protection program could help you save money on repairs. With multiple coverage options, plus protection for up to nine appliances, it’s simple to tailor a plan to each homeowner. While upfront pricing isn’t available on its site, its quote tool lets customers calculate expected costs in their area. And, with little to no waiting period for coverage for most products, Assurant offers faster protection than many other options.

Service person was very excellent. Identified the problem. The Monogram range was installed 2/13/2019. The bake igniter has been replaced 6 times. GE Monogram Preferred, Special Programs & Recalls has NOT solved the problem. Monogram Preferred, Special Programs & Recalls.

    Making a claim, arranging an appointment and ease of filing a claim was easy. Thank you. My washer is making an unusual loud noise when draining and spinning. The noise seems to tells me something needs oil or tightening. The noise drowns out the sound of my radio or TV.

    I purchased an add on warranty for my Bean Bag Chair and I am really glad I did. Less than a year after purchasing my Bean Bag Chair, I unzipped it as it needed more shredded foam added to the inside, the zipper broke and I couldn't close it back up, thus the shredded foam went everywhere… I spoke to a representative at Assurant about this, the whole process took less than 10 minutes. In about two hours, I had an Amazon gift card in my email for the full purchase price of the Bean Bag Chair! SO happy that I purchased the add on warranty!

    I purchased a sewer camera (first time) when my RIDGID unit broke, while waiting for repair I purchased a weak inexpensive knockoff (kinda) online and opted for the $50 3yr warranty. ! Year later the unit failed. I contacted Assurant, answered a dozen questions and was emailed a return credit in the amount of the unit I purchased, It took all of 5 minutes- turned around and bought the same unit (different name this time..) and another warranty. Again, 1yr later, unit failed... Return process the same, 5 minutes, return credit in hand (the return credit was credit from the store I purchased from..) This was a week ago.... Went to purchase a third unit and unfortunately had no option to purchase the warranty a third time.... But it was great while it lasted.

    Refrigerator is set at 41 degrees but ice forms on water in refrigerator at times. I set at 42 degrees today and it went up to 50 degrees. Then Turbo Cold setting took it down to 30 degrees. Have up to 20 insulin pens requiring refrigeration but cannot freeze. Extremely costly to replace. Prior visit by technician cannot determine why this occurs as nothing unusual registers on computer at time of checking.

    The coils failed again but this time i had a policy to cover them. Assurant took care of the problem quickly with very little hassle, I would recommend without any hesitation. I will be purchasing these policies when I think the item may fail. Thank you.

    Original review: May 17, 2023

    My experience with Assurant today with submitting a claim request was good. That being said, this is my 3rd repair for the same problem, so it's not getting fixed properly by the techs sent out by Assurant which is very frustrating. I expect much better performance from my GE products and from repair technicians servicing my refrigerator.

    Original review: May 14, 2023

    I put my remarks in the previous field. I shall repeat that here, and add: EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE would have been to make the exchange at my home, even if it would have taken three or four business days. And there would be no "restocking fee" for the customer to pay. A faulty machine and not insignificant inconvenience.

    Original purchase date 14 JAN 2023. First use when weather permitted was 14 MAY 2023. After less than four hours the pump's head failed due to a sheared hex head machine screw. I telephoned the store to be assured that a replacement machine was available. I drove 36.4 miles [round trip] to make the exchange. I was required to pay a $45.00 "restocking fee" that the clerk was unable to explain, or chose not to explain beyond "it is our policy" after I had asked why the defective machine would be "re-stocked" in any way that would be MY responsibility to pay.

    Purchasing the extended warranty was an additional $59.99, a $14.00 increase over the original purchase, five months prior. The original cost of $224.99 and $44.99 for warranty had just been increased by $110.69, including tax. Plus an additional drive, and the frustration of having the pressure washer fail before a single job of patio cleaning was finished. The replacement machine was courteously loaded into my vehicle for me by a pleasant employee. I have used the new machine successfully for around five hours.

    Our tech was so very very good. He knew exactly how to fix my washer which is not even 2 years old. I was so unhappy to need a repair this soon on this newer washer, but our technician made everything better. Ty so much. Eileen **
