Reading the fine print
Wear and Tear or Something Else?
Most plans draw a line between parts that tire out from use and damage that comes from somewhere else. Here is how that line usually looks.
Often Looked At
Failures that build up over time through ordinary daily use.
- A blower motor that slowly gives out
- A dishwasher pump that stops draining
- A water heater element that burns out
- A worn belt inside a dryer
Often Left Out
Damage that comes from events or conditions outside normal use.
- Storm, flood or fire damage
- Problems that existed before the plan began
- Harm from skipped care or misuse
- Cosmetic parts like knobs and trim

Most plans have a set service fee per visit. Your agreement lists the amount, so check it before you send a request.
Some offer add ons for things like pools or well pumps. Others stick to systems and appliances inside the home.
Yes. You do not need to be buying or selling to choose a plan, though a waiting period may apply at the start.
Turn off water or power to the item if it is safe, take photos, and keep the area clear for the technician.
