Home Warranties Explained | Choice Home Warranty

What Does a Home Warranty Company Cover?

A home warranty, as defined by the Cornell Legal Information Institute, is “a service contract that covers a major housing system–for example, plumbing or electrical wiring–for a set period of time”. These contracts protect home owners from high repair costs. Home warranties cover sudden appliance breakdowns and system failures. These are not covered under an insurance policy. With a home warranty, you’ll be covered if your refrigerator stops running or your plumbing backs up. That saves you money and time. Our service contracts promise fast service for covered issues.
