Focused on serving homeowners in California, United Home Warranty offers three customizable home warranty plans. The ability to customize your plan is a competitive feature.
The company's claims process also follows industry norms. You can make a claim at any time and United Home Warranty will connect you with a contractor from its network.
Unfortunately, the company offers limited information on its website regarding its contract terms. You'll want to request a sample contract to review from the company before you make a purchase. Reviewing the contract will help you understand the coverage you're getting and the company's cancellation policy.
Best Company has not received enough customer reviews to draw conclusions about the customer experience.
Similar to other companies, you can submit a claim online or over the phone at any time. After you submit a claim, United Home Warranty will assign you a contractor from its network. The contractor will contact you to schedule an appointment to diagnose and make the repair if covered.
United Home Warranty's contractors are licensed and qualified. They also carry workers compensation, third-party general, and automobile liability coverage.
If your item is not repairable, you may be offered a replacement instead.
The home warranty provider offers a 30-day workmanship guarantee, which is fairly standard for the industry. Some companies offer longer guarantees and also guarantee parts.
United Home Warranty offers three plan options with 13-month contracts and a 10-day waiting period. The company's contract length is long for the industry. The 10-day waiting period is also short compared to the industry's common 30-day waiting period.
Contract fee costs are available online. However, information about the service fee is limited online.
The Basic Plan covers appliances — refrigerators, ranges, cooktops, ovens, dishwashers, built-in microwaves, built-in food centers, clothes washers, clothes dryers, garage door openers, and trash compactors.
The Basic Plan starts at $29.99 per month.
The Premium Plan covers systems — air conditioning, heating, plumbing, and electrical. You'll also benefit from coverage for water heaters, smoke detectors, ceiling fans, central vacuum, instant hot and cold water dispensers, and garbage disposals.
This plan starts at $32.99 per month.
If you're interested in full coverage, the VIP Plan offers the same coverage of the Basic and Premium plans. It starts at $54.99 per month.
Each of these plans is customizable. You can add coverage for a guest unit, septic tank, well pump, pool, and spa to your plan.
It's difficult to find a sample contract online. If you want to review a sample contract, you'll need to contact the company directly for more information. It's unclear who you should contact from the company's website since the FAQ section does not specify that information.
Since a sample contract is not easily accessible online, it's difficult to compare United Home Warranty's limitations and exclusions to industry norms.
Typically, home warranty companies do not cover pre-existing conditions, natural disasters, misuse, poor maintenance, etc. Most home warranty companies also only cover specific parts of a covered system or appliance, so you'll want to review a contract for this information.
Information regarding United Home Warranty's cancellation policy is also limited online. Be sure to ask for this information as you consider working with the company.
Most home warranty companies offer a full reimbursement during the first 30 days of the contract if you've made no claim.
Generally, if you cancel after the first 30 days or have made a claim, you'll receive a refund of the remaining contract term minus the cost of your claim and a cancellation fee. In some cases, you may end up owing the company to cancel the contract.
Most home warranty companies will automatically renew your contract at their discretion. If you don't want to renew, you'll need to notify the company in advance.
The company's website also has some sections that are incomplete. For example, its section that features customer testimonials has the Latin "lorem ipsum" script instead of featuring reviews from customers.
Best Company has not received many United Home Warranty reviews. Conclusions about the customer experience are not available.
We have a limited understanding of the United Home Warranty customer experience and details on the warranty contract terms. The unfinished sections of the company's website are also concerning.
However, the company seems to be on the right track for building its brand and offering a variety of plan options.
