Homeownership comes with a lot of responsibilities, and unexpected breakdowns can be a major headache. With a one year home warranty, those worries don’t have to become financial burdens. For buyers, this type of coverage makes homeownership less stressful. For home sellers, it makes their home more attractive to potential buyers.
When an appliance or system in your home experiences a breakdown, you can easily place a claim with Select Home Warranty. We’ll send a qualified professional to assess the issue. Any repairs or replacements are covered according to your terms, and you only owe a modest day-of-service fee to the technician.
Home warranties can be renewed annually and either paid annually or monthly. The costs of home warranties quickly outweigh the stress and deeper costs of fixing mechanical issues on your own.

A one-year home warranty is a service contract that covers the cost of repairing or replacing major home systems and appliances that break down due to normal wear and tear. Most plans run for 12 months and can be purchased at any time, not just when you buy a home.
Coverage typically includes your HVAC system, plumbing, electrical, and kitchen appliances. When something breaks, you call your provider, pay a small service fee (usually $65–$200), and a vetted technician handles the rest.
The plan can be customized, allowing homeowners to add extra coverage if needed. Whether you are a buyer looking for added security or a seller wanting to close a deal, a one-year warranty can be a smart investment. Such types of home warranties are renewed annually. They can be paid monthly or annually, and you may receive additional coverage benefits when paying annually.
After a brief grace period, your coverage kicks in, and when you have an appliance or system acting up, such as a dryer that stops spinning or a garbage disposal that no longer turns on, place a claim. We’ll coordinate sending a local technician to assess your problem.
The average cost of a one-year home appliance warranty typically ranges from $400 to $700 per year, depending on the level of coverage you choose. At Select Home Warranty, plans start as low as $36 per month, making it easier for homeowners to protect major appliances and systems without facing large unexpected repair bills.
