Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about coverage, service requests and billing.

General

What is this plan?

The Trusted Home Warranty is a service agreement that covers the repair or replacement of covered home systems and appliances in the event of a mechanical or electrical breakdown during the coverage period. This is not an insurance policy.

When does coverage start?

Coverage begins on the Service Plan Effective Date, which is listed on your Coverage Summary. A 30-day waiting period applies before any claims can be made. This waiting period is added to the end of your coverage term.

How long does coverage last?

The coverage period is one year, starting from your Service Plan Effective Date and ending on your Service Plan Expiration Date, as shown in your Coverage Summary. The plan can be renewed annually at our discretion.

What items are covered?

Coverage includes major systems and appliances, such as:

  • Heating & Cooling: Central AC (electric), heat pumps, and heating systems, up to $5,000 per system.
  • Ductwork: Repairs up to $3,000.
  • Water Heater: Gas, electric, or tankless, up to $5,000.
  • Kitchen & Laundry Appliances: Ranges, ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, washers, dryers – up to $5,000 each (specific limits vary by appliance).
  • Interior Systems: Electrical, plumbing, garage door openers, ceiling fans – limits range $1,000–$5,000.

Optional coverages for freezers, pool/spa equipment, and more may be purchased within 30 days after the close of escrow.

Are there coverage limits?

Yes. Each category has a limit of liability, generally ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 per item/system per coverage period. The plan will not pay more than the fair market value of the covered product. Details are in your Coverage Summary.

Service

What is the Service Trade Call Fee?

There is a $100 fee per trade service request (e.g., plumber or appliance technician). This fee applies even if the service is denied, you cancel an appointment, or the issue is not covered.

How do I request service?

You must report the breakdown immediately and before your plan expires. All repairs must be authorized by the administrator before work begins.

Are there exclusions?

Yes. Common exclusions include:

  • Pre-existing conditions or improper installation.
  • Cosmetic issues (scratches, dents).
  • Acts of God (flood, fire, earthquake).
  • Routine maintenance or cleaning.
  • Systems outside the home’s main foundation (except exterior AC unit).

Refer to the full list in your Service Plan Terms.

What if my appliance can’t be repaired?

We may replace the item with a similar unit or offer a cash settlement based on our cost to repair or replace, not retail price. Cosmetic matches, brand, or color are not guaranteed.

Payment and Cancellations

How do cancellations and refunds work?
  • Cancel within 30 days: Full refund if no claims were made.
  • After 30 days: Pro-rated refund minus any claims paid.

The plan can also be canceled by us for non-payment, fraud, or material misrepresentation.

Is this plan transferable?

Yes. The plan can be transferred to a new owner of the same property for a one-time $25 fee. It cannot be moved to a new property.

Underwriter

Who underwrites this plan?

Your plan is administered by OnPoint Warranty Solutions, LLC. Our obligations are insured by Continental Casualty Company, ensuring performance even if we become insolvent.
