"Absolutely atrocious experience with this company. Had issues with our fridge/freezer, so they sent a repairman. We had to defrost the entire unit for 36 hours, so lost all of our groceries. (Loss of groceries are not covered - it's in the fine print.) Fine - we'll get the fridge fixed, right? WRONG. Within a month, the same issue occurred. Sent another repairman from a different company. Had to defrost and lost everything AGAIN. Third time with the SAME issue in the past six months and they want to send ANOTHER repairman from a different company who, wait - you guessed it - needs us to defrost the entire unit AGAIN. With the cost of the plan ($655), each $90 service fee, and loss of groceries, we could've bought a brand new and BETTER fridge. Note: our fridge is still not working properly and we are out nearly $1,000 in Fidelity fees alone. Add in another ~$600 in loss of groceries, and we are nearing $2,000. Fidelity are crooks - plain and simple. They outsource their call center to countries where we can't understand the operators, and when you finally do get a manager on the line, they are extremely rude. We are 100% not renewing our contract with Fidelity. We may have to consider small claims court as well."

Home Warranties questions, answered by experts

The average cost of routine home maintenance is about 1% to 4% of your home’s total value every year. Larger projects like replacing a roof or repairing a foundation may end up costing you more, but it’s a good idea to set aside money for maintenance costs every year so you can keep your home in good shape.

A seller’s home warranty normally excludes intentional damage, issues that arise due to a lack of maintenance, and cosmetic repairs. Each warranty can also have specific exclusions, like certain types of heating or cooling systems and certain components within your appliances and home systems. Most home warranties will also have coverage caps, and once you reach payouts that match the caps, all repairs will be excluded.

Most home warranty companies will accept either monthly payments throughout your contract term or a one-time payment upfront that covers all monthly payments for the entire contract. In most cases, paying for the home warranty contract in full up front will mean paying less in the long run, as most providers offer a discount for full-contract payments. Keep in mind that, in either case, you’ll still likely have some costs throughout the life of your coverage, like paying service fees for each service call you make and paying repair and replacement costs after you reach your coverage limits.

A home warranty usually covers electrical wiring work, depending on your specific plan. Most home warranty plans cover repairs for major appliances and home systems, including failure due to wear and tear. Home warranties aren’t as common as homeowners insurance, but they are more likely to cover old wiring.

Several factors make a home warranty worth it or not, especially the age of your home and the condition and age of the appliances in it. If you buy an older home with most or all original appliances, a warranty may be worth the investment as these home features are more likely to need repairs or replacements. However, if you’re buying a new-construction home, a warranty may already be included, and you may not need to use it for several years. In this case, purchasing add-ons may not be worth the cost until a few years later.
