    Super coverage

    Super has three subscription levels: Simple, Signature and Lux. All three plans offer base coverage of the following appliances and systems:

    • Air conditioning system
    • Heating system/heat pump
    • Major kitchen appliances
    • Interior electrical system
    • Interior plumbing and plumbing stoppages
    • Water heater
    • Ceiling fans and central vacuum
    • Garage door openers

    Plans

    Each plan differs in both the household items it covers and the coverage amounts:

    • Simple covers six common home appliances and 10 systems.
    • Signature covers everything in Simple, plus a kitchen refrigerator, washer and dryer. It also includes Super’s "It’s Covered" upgrade, which covers more parts of specific appliances and systems, like springs on your garage door and smoke detectors.
    • Lux is Super’s highest-level plan, covering everything in Signature, plus gas fireplaces and fire pits, smart-home devices, and water softener and reverse osmosis systems. It also comes with enhanced plumbing coverage. Lux has higher coverage limits for appliances and some systems.

    All of Super’s plans have a $30,000 aggregate annual limit.

    Super cost

    Super’s coverage costs vary depending on where you live, your home’s size and the amount of coverage you want. For example, at the time of publishing, you can expect to pay the following costs if you own a home in Texas that’s less than 5,000 square feet:

    • Simple: $50 a month ($559 per year)
    • Signature: $73 a month ($839 a year)
    • Lux: $118 a month ($1,379 a year)

    Super coverage exclusions

    Super’s coverage includes only specifically named items and components. It's intended to cover the costs to repair or replace covered home systems and appliances when they fail from normal wear and tear.

    Some of Super’s general exclusions include the following:

    • Known defects that existed on or before your plan’s effective date
    • Breakdowns due to improper use, acts of nature, missing equipment, lack of maintenance, pest damage or manufacturer defects
    • Consumable parts, like bulbs, filters and batteries

    You can learn more about Super’s exclusions by asking to see sample terms of coverage.

    Super claims

    You can submit a claim with Super either by contacting customer service, logging in online or using the company’s mobile app. With the app you can quickly submit claims, view account updates and receive notifications when a technician is on the way to your home.

    Coverage limits

    All three Super plans come with no limits on most systems, including air conditioning, heating and heat pumps, ductwork, interior plumbing and plumbing stoppages, central vacuum and garage door openers.

    System coverage limits differ on water heaters, ceiling fans and interior electrical work.

    For appliance coverage limits, both the Simple and Signature plans come with a $3,000 limit on each covered appliance. The Lux plan has a $10,000 limit.

      Two people at Super told me that everything was covered on garage door openers. Guess what? Springs are not covered, although Was opposite what I was told By super representatives. I called to complain and was told by another super's Representative that I should’ve checked online what was covered and what was not covered. I didn’t. That was TWO PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS COVERED. Will be renewing? I have no idea. Probably not.

      We did not have our AC unit working throughout this summer, and HelloSuper failed to fix the problem. We had to go through the heat wave in California this year (2024) and Super did nothing to help. They only procrastinated and sent technicians multiple times without addressing the problem. The funny thing is that the unit was checked by Super right before Summer. Horrible company, a total scam, stay out from them.

        I’m very frustrated with the service I’m actually not getting from these contractors they have. $95 service fee. First, with my refrigerator, the technician never called or emailed me. I had to call to hear that I needed to defrost. The one that took my trust from them and surely will not recommend is the plumbing. My garbage disposal stopped working. Two no show appointments and the company E&S Plumbing keeps saying they came and no one’s home. They claimed to call and I never received any call or text to say they have arrived. I’m now waiting for the so called picture of my door they took when they came. No email as yet. I can find my own handyman and pay less. Super, I have been paying on time every month, now I need you to pay up and provide the service your customers deserve.

        Do Not Use Super Home Warranty. They are Dishonest. My water heater went out last Thursday. The policy states they will cover $1500 for a new water heater. The plumber invoiced them $1200 to replace. SHW would only pay $300 and would only replace the water heater if I paid out-of-pocket $900. They told me they do not cover hook up, take away old heaters, or modifications. However the police terms does not state this. I asked the sales rep if this was covered when I purchased the policy He lied and stated yes Modifications were covered. The Customer support rep told me this is only covered if I purchased an upgrade policy.

        I could do that and then would have to wait another 30 days to be active, it would then be considered a Pre-Existing. I had no choice to pay $900 to get hot water or I would not be covered by Super Home Warranty.

        We sincerely apologize for the frustration and delays experienced so far, and acknowledge that the outcome is not perhaps one that is desired, but we sincerely hope this helps to clarify. Per the terms & conditions modifications, permits, code requirements, and equipment disposal require a separate coverage addon, which is not included in your current plan. Our goal is to ensure clarity and transparency in our interactions. We have reached out to the Servicer Provider asking for updates and availability for the install of the water heater. Again, we want to apologize for the frustration experienced.

        I absolutely cannot conceive of anyone giving this company more than 1 star, much less 5 stars. My experience has been a victim of a scam. I was changed from another warranty company to Super without my knowledge. When I requested service on my hvac system, a service tech came fairly soon, then pronounced it repairable & needing to be replaced. He left & I couldn't get any human at Super to talk to me at all about anything. The only phone #'s I could find were recordings telling me to go to the website where I found no information.

        After a week of no a/c in Texas, I found a page stating my claim was denied because the service I requested was "not covered." No other explanation. No person to contact. No way to reach any human person at Super. I sent 2 or 3 emails asking for information, then just sent one more to cancel the policy. I am a senior citizen and cannot survive here without a/c or heat. I'm currently researching other warranty companies, but I am still now left with no hvac in Texas heat - and no way to pay for a new system as I have to live on social security benefits. I don't know who actually got 5 star service, or why, but my next review of these unreachables is going to the BBB.

        When I signed up with them, it went fine. Their service has been great so far. My recent claim was for a garage door opener. The claims process was fine. Even when there was a delay getting the technician out, I called and they made sure that things got back on track very quickly. Once the techs reached out, everything went great. The techs were quick to respond and they kept me in the loop of how things were going. Having Super definitely helped with the repair cost, and I like having them as the intermediary to deal with the contracting company versus having to find someone myself.

        Service started really great especially after COVID. They took care of everything. Then, it became a flight with them to get quality servicers at a certain at certain times and getting them to replace HVAC units instead of trying to repair them for a second or third time. Around '21, it became, "Okay, we'll book a servicer for you. But as soon as it's booked, it's now between you and the servicer from there on out. But recently, things have been better again. Some small plumbing stuff and we needed an exterminator a few weeks ago and we booked one through them through the marketplace. Those experiences have all been very easy and everything has been taken care of in a timely manner. Super since we're paying our $700-ish a year to offset that cost and it's just the smaller co-pay typically that we have to pay and maybe 5 to 10% if it's a big job of out of pocket costs for some things compared to having to pay for the whole job itself.

        The service with Super this year is kind of frustrating. It took a while for action to be implemented for our issues. We had an issue with our washer, which took over a month and a half to resolve. It was frustrating not to have a washer for a month and a half. There was something with their technician. He came out and tried to fix it, and said he fixed it, but he didn't fix it. He lied, which caused more issues. They had to hire another technician to come out, which resolved our issue, saying he couldn't fix it. So, then they had to take note of him to process the claim of processing our cash-out to get a new washer. We did not have to pay out of pocket for anything. They were able to give us a gift card to Home Depot. It also covered the cost of installment.

        We do benefit from Super. I just wish they would fix the external contractors that they contract in and have more reliable contractors. The Super customer service is very helpful and they were really accommodating when we were having these issues and they were trying to expedite their approval process. So, that was nice of them.
