What is an HVAC Home Warranty Plan?
A home warranty plan is a tool that helps homeowners protect their budgets when the inevitable happens: the breakdown of a home’s systems or appliances. Unfortunately, a home’s systems and appliances don’t last forever, and when they fail, it’s usually when a homeowner is least expecting it. Any homeowner who has had their air conditioner go out in the summer can tell you that not only is it hot and miserable, it can be extremely stressful to find a contractor and schedule a diagnosis. That’s where a home warranty comes in handy. The home warranty company helps connect contractors and homeowners for HVAC failure diagnoses and covers repairs and replacements of covered systems and appliances.
What is Covered Under an HVAC Warranty?
No matter what home warranty plan you choose from Landmark, you will get some level of HVAC coverage. On even our most basic of plans, the major mechanical parts and components of the following HVAC systems are covered:
- Ducted electric central air
- Ducted forced air heating systems
- Gas heating systems
- Electric central heating systems
- Air source heat pumps
Landmark’s HVAC home warranty plans also cover unlimited units, which means you do not have to purchase additional coverage if you have more than one HVAC unit for your home. Different home warranty plans offer even more home warranty HVAC coverage, so make sure to look through every home warranty plan Landmark offers in your state.
When a mechanical part or component of a covered HVAC system fails from normal wear and tear, a homeowner can open a service request with Landmark Home Warranty. Landmark will send out a qualified contractor to diagnose the HVAC unit and, if the failure is covered under the terms of the contract, the home warranty company will pay to have the HVAC unit repaired or replaced.
The Benefits of Getting an HVAC Warranty
A home warranty plan that offers HVAC coverage can be a huge benefit to a homeowner. On average, the lifespan of an HVAC system is between 10 and 15 years, according to the National Association of Home Builder’s Study of Life Expectancy. When the HVAC system has become too old to function properly and fails from normal wear and tear, it costs an average of $163 - $520 to repair it and $3,733 - $7,161 to replace it entirely, according to Home Advisor’s True Cost Guide. With an HVAC warranty plan from Landmark, as long as the repair or replacement is covered and within the monetary limits of the contract, a homeowner will most likely only pay their service call for diagnosis.
Which Home Warranty Plan Should You Pick for HVAC Coverage?
