If you are looking for a warranty registration or claim
We cannot help. This website has no access to any warranty account, contract, policy or claim, and no ability to create, activate, look up, extend or dispute one. If you need to register or activate a warranty, check whether coverage is in force, file a claim, or appeal a denial, contact the company named on your own paperwork. If you no longer have that paperwork, your home inspector, your real estate agent, or your closing documents will identify the correct company.
Not professional advice
Nothing on this site is legal, insurance, tax, financial, engineering or real estate advice. Home service contracts, insurance policies, purchase contracts, disclosure obligations, licensing requirements and consumer protection law all vary by state and change over time. Consult a licensed professional in your jurisdiction before acting on anything you read here.
Generalizations, not your contract
Descriptions of what is typically covered, typically excluded, capped, conditioned or denied are generalizations drawn from published sample contracts and public sources. They describe common industry practice. They do not describe your contract. Coverage differs by provider, plan tier, add-on selection, state of issue and year. Read your own contract, including the exclusions and the limits, before relying on any of it.
Inspection standards
References to what a home inspection includes or excludes are drawn from published standards of practice. An individual inspector's contract, scope and state licensing requirements may differ. A home inspection is a limited, visual, non-invasive assessment of readily accessible components on the day it is performed, and it is not a warranty, a guarantee, a code compliance inspection, or a prediction of future performance.
Coverage verdicts are summaries, not determinations
Each coverage profile on this site opens with a short verdict — usually covered, conditional or add-on, or usually excluded. That label summarises the common industry pattern for that component across published contracts. It is not a determination about your contract, it does not predict how a provider will handle a specific claim, and it carries no weight in a dispute. A component we describe as usually covered can be validly declined under your contract's exclusions, and a component we describe as usually excluded may be covered under an add-on you purchased.
No prices, no rankings, no recommendations
We do not rank, rate, score, endorse or recommend any warranty company, insurer, inspector, contractor or product, and nothing here should be read as a recommendation to buy or decline any of them. Where a company is named, it is named for identification or as a factual illustration of contract structure. We do not publish current prices; cost is described structurally because figures go stale and vary by state, tier and property.
Statutes and regulations change
References to federal and state law reflect our understanding at the time of writing from the sources cited. Statutes are amended, regulations are rewritten, agencies reinterpret their own rules, and courts split on what settled language means. Verify any legal point against the current official source before relying on it, and consult counsel licensed in your jurisdiction for anything consequential.
Trademarks
All company names, product names, trademarks and service marks referenced on this site are the property of their respective owners. Their use here is nominative — for identification and commentary — and does not indicate any affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement or relationship of any kind.
Illustrations are abstract, not technical
The artwork on this site is abstract and decorative. No image here is a technical diagram, a wiring schematic, an installation guide or a depiction of any specific product, and nothing should be inferred from a graphic about how a component is built, installed or repaired.
Timeliness
Pages are written from sources current at the time of writing and are not automatically updated when the underlying material changes. Contract forms are revised, statutes are amended, standards of practice are reissued, and industry practice shifts. Treat everything here as a starting point for your own verification rather than as a current legal or contractual authority.
Accuracy
We assume no responsibility for errors or omissions, or for any outcome resulting from the use of information on this site. If you find an error, please tell us — ideally with the source that supports the correction — and we will fix it.
