Full services directory How it worksFor prosAbout Get matched Call (866) 582-8523It usually starts with the appliance you know is next. The hard part is not the work — it is that every home warranty company sounds equally sure of itself, and you get one guess. We check licence and insurance before we introduce anyone, and we record the date we checked.

Home warranty plans come in three basic shapes: systems-only (heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing) at roughly $400 to $600 a year, appliance-only at roughly $400 to $500, and combined plans at roughly $450 to $900. Every plan adds a service call fee of about $75 to $125 each time a technician is dispatched, and every plan caps what it will pay per item.
A home warranty costs a national average of about $600 a year, typically $400 to $700, with a broad range of $300 to $1,000 depending on plan level. On top of the premium you pay a service call fee of roughly $75 to $125 every time a technician is dispatched — including visits that end in a denied claim.
Everything we publish on home warranty, grouped the way homeowners actually search — not the way a company would organise it.
Most sites sell your number to whoever pays the most for it. We check the home warranty companies we match you with, and we publish the date we checked so you can hold us to it.
We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.
General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation — confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.
We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.
A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.
Ranges, with the source and the date underneath. Anyone quoting you a single national number is guessing, and you should know enough to notice.
No verified home warranty price ranges published yet.
We don’t publish a cost until we can show the data behind it. If you need a
number today, the quote form gives you real prices from local companies.
Three ways to get this work done. Here’s what each one actually gives you.
| HomeMatchup | Typical lead site | DIY | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How many companies call you | A short, named shortlist you agreed to | Often 4–5+ at once, sold to whoever buys the lead | None — the work is on you |
| Licence & insurance | Checked against the issuing authority, with a date on the record | Usually self-reported by the contractor | Your own permits and liability |
| What it costs you | Free — pros pay us, and only for a real match | Free, but your number is resold | Materials plus your time |
| Price guidance before you talk | Published ranges with the data behind them | Rarely shown before you hand over details | You research it yourself |
| If it goes wrong | You have a named, verified company and a record of the checks | Hard to trace which site sold the lead | No recourse |

We’d rather show you nothing than show you someone else’s reviews.
Plenty of sites fill this space with reviews scraped from elsewhere, or written for them. We don’t. The first home warranty review on this page will come from a homeowner we matched, after their work was finished and paid for.
The questions homeowners ask us most about home warranty.
The products you'll actually be choosing between.
Home warranties are sold on the promise and decided in the exclusions. What is not covered matters more than the monthly cost. Getting matched takes about a minute, costs nothing, and you can walk away from every quote you receive.
