Protection Plan 101

What is a home protection plan?

A home protection plan is a service contract that covers the repair or replacement of many of the most frequently occurring breakdowns of home system components and appliances. It lets homeowners know they're okay if something goes wrong with a covered item.

Why do I need one?

The one thing you can be sure of is that eventually your home system components and appliances will break down. When that happens, a home protection plan may help make costs of repairing or replacing home system components or appliances more manageable, while making it easy for you to get a qualified professional to your home to fix the problem.

Rather than having multiple service warranties on every appliance in my home, I just have one.
