What is a home warranty? A home warranty is typically a one-year service contract designed to protect the family budget from unexpected, costly repairs on home systems and appliances. What is covered in the plans? There are several plans and options to choose from to best suit the homes specific requirements. Basic plans typically include coverage for: kitchen appliances, water heaters, plumbing, plumbing stoppages, electrical, heating system, ductwork, instant hot water dispenser, whirlpool bath motor and pump assemblies and more. Optional covered items can range from pool/spa equipment, washer/dryer, kitchen refrigerator, air conditioning, well pump and more. Plans and optional covered items vary in geographic areas and are detailed in First American contracts.
