What Home Warranty Plans Typically Do Not Cover

Like other types of warranties or service contracts, home warranty plans have limitations on coverage. Typically, home warranties don't cover the modifications or changes required when new equipment gets installed. For example, if an HVAC system needs replacement, electrical or structural modifications may be required to accommodate the new unit. Or a new hot water heater might require changes to pipes coming in and out of the unit. A home warranty usually will not cover these types of changes.

Learn About Your Coverage Options

First American’s home warranty plans cover all of the basics, but you may have additional items you want to cover. Review the sample contracts to get an idea of our optional coverage upgrades. You can purchase upgrades that will cover items such as:

  • Removal of the old appliance or system

  • Building permits
  • Correction of building code violations
