Should You Renew Your Home Warranty Coverage?

Coverage Insights - Renewal-1

Your Old Republic home warranty plan is a home service contract with a fixed term. That means your coverage is available for a set amount of time before it’s eligible for renewal.

No matter your plan’s term length, in most cases, your Old Republic Home Protection (ORHP) home warranty is renewable!

When you purchase a home warranty as part of a real estate transaction, you get discounted first-year pricing. This is because homes going through a real estate transaction usually have their systems and appliances “vetted” to ensure they are in good working order prior to the home sale. Any necessary repairs or replacements are addressed by a real estate agent during the negotiation process. Newly purchased homes also generally benefit from home inspections prior to the close of sale.

If you didn't include a home warranty with the purchase of your home, don't worry! You can still purchase a home warranty plan or renew an existing plan here.

Remember, we will provide service for covered systems and appliances that malfunction during your plan term if the item was installed and working properly on the effective date of your plan.
