You depend on your household appliances to get through daily life. Learn how home appliance insurance can alleviate the financial burden if they need to be repaired or replaced.
Many homeowners may panic about the sudden, unexpected expenses you’re sure to incur if a household appliance suddenly stops working, especially if you don’t have the savings to cover such an expense.
A home appliance insurance policy, also known as a home warranty, can provide peace of mind by helping you prepare for the repair and replacement costs and hassle of locating a contractor when your major appliances and home systems break down.
We at the Home Media reviews team have examined dozens of the top home warranty companies in the industry, taking into account their coverage options for your home’s most valuable appliances, such as dishwashers, refrigerators and laundry machines. We’ve also considered factors such as customer service, overall trustworthiness, number of items covered and cost.
