Why adult children buy home warranties for their parents
You can't be there for every breakdown. Many of our customers are sons and daughters who live hours away. When something breaks, your parent calls our 24/7 claims line instead of calling you in a panic.
It stops the repair-scam problem. Seniors are a favorite target of door-to-door and phone repair scams. With a warranty, your parents never have to hire a stranger. Every technician in our network is licensed, insured and pre-screened.
Costs are predictable. A replacement furnace can run $4,000 to $8,000. A new water heater is $1,500 or more. On a fixed income, one of those bills can wipe out months of savings. With a plan, they pay a small service call fee and the plan covers the rest, up to the coverage limit.
You can pay for it yourself. Many families put the plan in the parent's name but bill it to the adult child. It makes a practical gift for a birthday, holiday or just peace of mind.
What's covered
Our three plans cover the systems and appliances that cause the most trouble in an older home: central heating and air conditioning, water heaters, plumbing and electrical systems, refrigerators, ranges and ovens, dishwashers, washers and dryers, garbage disposals and garage door openers.
Older appliances are fine. As long as the item works when the plan starts, it's covered for normal wear and tear. No inspection is needed.
How to set it up for a parent
Call (833) 667-1589 and tell us it's for your mother or father. We'll ask a few questions about the home, the systems they have, and who should be listed as the contact for claims. Many families list both the parent and the adult child so either can call in a repair.
Enrollment takes about ten minutes over the phone. There's no online form, no paperwork to mail, and no contract. Plans are month to month with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
