Frequently Asked Questions

When you call in, your claim is time stamped and logged by a customer support person. We’ll work to schedule your service as soon as possible.

The service tech will arrive on site to diagnose your service issue. If the needed repair involves a standard part that is carried on the van, it’s installed within the same visit. If a special part is required, the part will be ordered and the technician will return to install it once the part is received.

If repair needs meet coverage requirements, you’ll simply be responsible for the service fee.

If repair needs are beyond coverage requirements, you’ll be given the option to have our technician make the repair, or you may arrange for your own vendor. If you opt to have a Platinum technician perform the needed work, you’ll be charged for the cost of the repairs. If you opt for your own technician, you’ll simply be responsible for the service fee.

This is the fee the homeowner is responsible for paying when requesting service. The service fee applies per requested item and is due when the request is placed.

This fee helps cover travel, labor and diagnosis of the issue and applies regardless of whether the diagnosis results in exclusion from coverage.

We make every reasonable effort to be out to your property within 24 hours (or next business day if over a weekend for a non-emergency claim). If for any reason this is not possible, we will make other accommodations, which may include contracting to an outside company, providing a temporary unit or other measures.

We aim to provide service in the fewest visits to your property as possible. Sometimes, however, it can take more than one visit. This may show up one of two ways:

(1) Multiple visits for the same claim: If a special part is required and is not carried on the van, the part will be ordered and the technician will need to return to install it once the part is received.

(2) Multiple claims for the same system: Often when a major system needs repair, we may repair one component which later reveals that other components have been affected by the stress to the system as well. This may lead to multiple claims to restore the system.

A unit or component typically will not be replaced unless repair is no longer possible. For clients who desire full replacement, we often offer discounted replacement options.

If you call outside of regular business hours, you will still reach a live operator who will note your service complaint.

Urgent/emergency service calls
If the claim qualifies as needing urgent/emergency service, it will be dispatched to our on-call technician. On-call technicians provide urgent service between the hours of 8am and 5pm, 7 days a week. If your urgent call is not within the hours of 8am and 5pm, the technician will respond the following day.

Non-emergency service calls
If the claim is not an emergency, we will respond the following business day.

For the convenience of our customers, we wish we could offer all customers weekend appointments. Since there are only so many hours in the day though, we limit the number of non-emergency weekend appointments, and they typically acquire a higher service fee. This helps us keep those weekend appointments available for emergency claims.

We consider any of the following to be an emergency:

• no electricity, gas, water or toilet facilities to the entire home
• no air conditioning, in extreme temperatures, when the unit is the only form of cooling to the entire home
• a system malfunction that causes ongoing damage to the home
• a condition that immediately endangers the health and safety of the occupants

We prioritize claims by taking into account specifics including the number of A/C units and temperature within the home. Regardless, we strive to get to each claim as quickly and effectively as we can.

When possible, we use our own technicians for warranty claims. For some trades, including pools and roofs, we contract to other companies for their expertise. At times we contract work out in order to provide quicker response times.

Your home warranty covers systems or appliances that break down due to normal wear and tear. These systems and appliances must have been maintained in line with manufacturer recommendations and meet federal, state and local manufacturer specifications and industry codes and standards.

Some commonly covered items include air conditioning and heating issues, plumbing stoppages, water heater repair and replacement and garbage disposal replacements.

For more specifics, see our Coverage Terms and Conditions.

It is important to understand that a home warranty will NOT cover all possible repairs on your home’s systems and appliances.

Common non-covered items include include improper installation, improper maintenance, damage from pets or pests, act of God, manufacturer recall, obsolete parts and cosmetic repairs.

Maintenance is not included as part of your warranty contract, but is available for additional fees. Maintenance includes items such as air conditioning coil cleaning, hot water heater flushing, and pool filters and filtration cleaning.

For more specifics, see our Coverage Terms and Conditions.

To help our customers receive uninterrupted coverage, we’ve implemented auto renewal on our policies. If your payment information is on file, you’ll automatically be charged to renew your policy and seamlessly continue coverage for the following year.

You can opt out of auto renewal upon purchase, or you can contact us at any time to update this preference.
