What the 2026 Summer Forecast Means for Your Air Conditioning
Recent weather forecasts suggest El Niño weather patterns may be coming in hot this summer! Above-normal temperatures are expected across most of the U.S. as a massive weather shift paves the way for El Niño, a phenomenon that typically occurs every 3-4 years in which strong Pacific winds escort sweltering heat across much of the country.
Is your air conditioning unit ready for its busiest season?
Can you comfortably afford to repair or replace an air conditioning system in the heat of summer? Air conditioning systems will likely be working overtime during these summer heat waves, which could increase the risk of compressor failure and place extra wear on capacitors and motors.
An Old Republic Home Warranty May Help
The right home warranty can save you hundreds—even thousands—of dollars in covered repair or replacement costs during the dog days of summer. With Old Republic, you can keep your cool during a heat wave, knowing your home’s air conditioning system is covered.*
Pre-season HVAC Tune-up Option
In addition to selecting a plan with air conditioning coverage, you can add the Pre-season HVAC Tune-up Option to your base plan at the time of purchase. This extra layer of protection covers one free air conditioning tune-up between February and April and one free heating system tune-up between September and November, helping you keep those essential systems in top shape all year long!
Swimming Pool/Spa Coverage Matters this Summer
Enjoy the pool without sweating surprise repair costs. During extreme summer heat, families may be spending more time cooling off in the pool. Add the Swimming Pool/Spa Equipment Option at the time of purchase, which includes the saltwater circuit board and cell coverage.
With record-breaking temperatures predicted, don’t wait to purchase a home warranty until it’s too late—there is a 30-day waiting period after purchase before coverage goes into effect.** Shop affordable Old Republic plans now and relax knowing your home’s covered systems and appliances are protected.
