Maryland Home Warranty

What is a Home Warranty?

Most people that own a house understand the benefits of taking out a homeowners insurance policy. Still, not everyone realizes that your homeowners insurance may not provide complete protection for your home and it doesn’t cover when appliances and home systems break down because of normal wear and tear. That is where a home warranty comes in. It can provide a more complete level of protection for your home and your budget.

When your refrigerator, dishwasher, or heating system breaks down, not only will you have to scramble to quickly find a contractor, but you could also end up paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for the repairs.

However, when you choose the services of reputable home warranty companies in Maryland like First American, you can rest assured that when a covered item breaks, you'll be just a phone call away from receiving professional help.

An MD home warranty is a comprehensive protection package for your home appliances and systems. When a covered item stops working, you can just call us or go online 24/7, and we'll set assign a contractor who specializes in diagnosing the kinds of issues you’re experiencing. The contractor will contact you to schedule an appointment where they’ll diagnose the problem. If the problem can be fixed, many times the technician can make the repair that day. If it can’t be repaired, we’ll replace it.

If you're looking for the home warranty Maryland residents know and trust, First American is here for you. Get a quote today, and our support team will guide you through the entire process.
