Old Republic Home Protection Reviews

I was signed up with Old Republic through my realtor when I bought my house. They were the biggest help when getting settled in and for my first few years owning it. When my oven went out, it was too old to fix so they gave me money to get a new one. The annual premium was about $600 and the trade fee was $75. They gave me about $900 for the oven. When my 25 year old upstairs air conditioning unit went out, I needed a whole new unit and I believe a new platform or something like that. I paid like $500 or so for permits and such that WEREN’T covered but they paid for everything else for this $5000+ unit with installation

When I bought my house (Palm Springs area) the seller provided me a 1 yr home protection policy from Old Republic Home Protection. Overall I have to say they were very reasonable to deal with and they sent me good repair people the several times I needed something. One great feature was the policy automatically included rekeying door locks, up to 4 or 5 (can’t remember how many). This was comforting. The locksmith even worked with the new digital locks I had bought and installed but not rekeyed. When my (old, cruddy, super-basic) washer crapped out, they gave me the option of taking the cash value they would’ve spent to replace it with a similar model (a similar crappy model, that is). That was very fair. I took the $$ and bought a reconditioned washer from a local repair guy who buys used appliances from Lowe’s and Home Depot, when customers have them cart away the old ones. I practically broke even and got a much nicer model. Did the same thing when the electric garage door (that was ancient and rattled like a freight train) conked out just before the policy was up. I had even planned to replace it anyway so the timing was great. I took the cash value (which wasn’t much) and paid the repair guy to install the new opener I’d bought at Lowe’s. It was a win-win for me. And Old Republic doesn’t mind, it’s all the same $$ to them and it saves them the bother of buying/shipping a new appliance, door, whatever. I was pretty satisfied with Old Republic. They were fair. The only 2 things I’d say that weren’t great were: 1. Sometimes the repair guys they sent came from pretty far away. Had to wait awhile for them, but they did good jobs. 2. When the policy was up, the cost to renew it another yr was too high, in my opinion. I chose not to. It was a good decision, I didn’t have anything go wrong the next year so it would’ve been money wasted. If you’re in the market for a home warranty policy, I would give them a “thumbs up” based on my experience.

Old Republic Home Protection saved my butt and my budget when our AC went out in the middle of a heat wave. Our home is in the middle of the desert where AC is NOT just a "luxury" item but is vital temperature control during the summer months. We had our cool air back on and flowing again thankfully within 24 hours after making the call to our warranty services company. Great job and thanks a million!

When we first bought our first home they were our warranty company for several years. We were able to get a $500 part fixed for $100 with their service. They came the next day and heat was on quickly.

We were very glad to have the home warranty the very first day we were in our new home, as we hada plumbing issue. The service was prompt and as advertised.

Used them for a rekey service and it was flawless. Received the 75 dollar bill shortly after and it was easy to pay online.

Very easy claims process with great phone service that helped me and my family tremendously

Great customer service and dependable contractors. Would reccomend.
