People rely on their food and beverages staying cold with a household Refrigerator/Freezer Unit. When breakdowns happen, repairs costs can total hundreds of dollars.
That's why real estate professionals suggest homeowners be prepared with a Refrigeration/Freezer Unit Plan from HomeServe Home Warranty. And being prepared with a home warranty for the additional refrigeration/freezer unit can help ease your clients' worry and financial strain that come from unexpected refrigeration/freezer breakdowns.
Many people do not know that basic homeowners' insurance typically covers things like property damage to the home, but not damage due to normal wear and tear to refrigeration/freezer units. If these fail, it can be a hassle and may cost hundreds of dollars if replacement is needed.
There’s nothing worse when one has a well-stocked refrigerator or freezer and it unexpectedly breaks down. The loss of food and the inconvenience of not having working refrigeration appliances is a big homeowner hassle.
Eligible homeowners can select a Refrigeration/Freezer Unit Plan from HomeServe Home Warranty, which provides up to $1000 in annual coverage. This optional coverage can help protect one from the costs and damages of unexpected emergencies to the additional refrigeration/freezer unit.

Does homeowners insurance cover this?
When working with your real estate clients, you will find that the majority believe their utility companies or homeowners insurance is responsible for emergency repairs to the water, sewer, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems, but the reality is that in many cases your client, the homeowner, are responsible. Most basic homeowners insurance policies and local utility companies or municipalities do not cover repairs to or replacement of the major systems in and around your client's home.
What quality of repair can my client expect?
Local, licensed and insured technicians perform covered repairs for your client's homes, which are guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for one year.
