Plan Walkthroughs
I go through a plan with you, line by line, in plain words.
Coverage and What I Do
How I help you read a home warranty plan, and the systems and appliances a plan may name.
What I Do
I am not a repair crew. I am the person who helps you understand a plan before, during and after a breakdown.
Item List Checks
Tell me what sits in your home and I show you which items a plan names and which ones it skips.
Request Prep
I help you gather the brand, model and symptoms before a request goes in.
Upkeep Pointers
Simple habits that keep a request on solid ground.
Renewal Reviews
Before a plan renews, I check whether it still suits your home.
Straight Answers
Ask me about exclusions, service fees or limits and get a direct reply with no sales pitch.
What a Plan May Name
Plans tend to split the house into two groups. These are the items I see listed most often when I read through a plan with someone.
Built In Systems
- Furnace and heating
- Central air conditioning
- Ductwork
- Water heater
- Plumbing lines and drains
- Electrical panel and wiring
- Garbage disposal
- Ceiling fans
Household Appliances
- Refrigerator
- Range and oven
- Cooktop
- Dishwasher
- Built in microwave
- Clothes washer
- Clothes dryer
- Ice maker
The exact list depends on the plan you pick and the exclusions written into it. I will always point you to the wording itself.
Find the Plan That Suits Your Home
Pick the items your household leans on most and get started with a short signup.
Words Worth Knowing
Plan agreements lean on a handful of terms. Here is how I explain them when someone asks.
- Normal Wear
- The slow breakdown that comes from everyday use. This is the kind of failure a plan is built around.
- Service Fee
- A set amount you pay when a technician comes out for a request. Your agreement states what it is.
- Exclusion
- A part, cause or situation the plan does not include. I always read these with you first.
- Preexisting Issue
- A problem that was already there before the plan began. Most plans leave these out.
- Coverage Limit
- The most a plan will pay toward a single item or request. It varies from plan to plan.
- Waiting Period
- A short stretch after signup before requests can be made. Not every plan has one.
More Questions I Get
These land in my inbox often. Have one that is not here? Send it over through the contact page.
Some plans ask about the condition of your items. I let you know what a given plan expects before you sign up.
Many plans let you add extra items for an added cost. I point out which ones are offered and what they include.
Plans handle this differently. Some pay toward an upgrade and others set a limit. I show you where your plan answers it.
No. Insurance looks at sudden events like fire or storms. A warranty plan looks at items that wear out from normal use.
Most agreements spell out a cancellation process. I help you find that section and read it through with you.
