The standard home warranty is a one-year service contract that protects a resale home buyer against the cost of unexpected repairs or replacement of major home systems and appliances that break down due to normal wear and use. Coverage is also available to home sellers during the listing and escrow period to help them keep unforeseen breakdowns from potentially delaying the close of sale.
No. Inspections are required by some home warranty companies, but not with Old Republic Home Protection.

Yes. Under most circumstances, when an item cannot be repaired, it will be replaced. Please review the home warranty plan for complete coverage terms and conditions.
A homeowners insurance policy undertakes to indemnify (compensate or reimburse) the homeowner against damage or liability which might arise from some unknown or contingent event. A home warranty plan is a residential service contract, and residential service contracts do not indemnify against losses; they repair or replace specified items in the home that fail due to normal wear and use. Old Republic Home Protection's one-year home warranty covers items not covered under a standard homeowner insurance policy, filling a critical gap in the protection of your home. For example, if your client’s dishwasher leaks and water damages the floor, a homeowners insurance policy may cover the damage to the floor, but not the repair or replacement of the dishwasher. With an Old Republic Home Warranty, your client’s dishwasher is covered!
Yes! In most cases, your client’s plan is renewable. Your client will receive an offer of renewal approximately eight weeks prior to expiration. The renewal notice will confirm the plan fee, trade call fee, and terms of renewal. Plans can also be renewed online.
