Durham, North Carolina has a humid subtropical climate, with hot and humid summers, cool winters, and warm to mild spring and autumn. A hot and humid climate means extended use of Durham home systems and appliances like the central A/C unit, central heating, and electrical system. Long-term use of appliances and systems in Durham homes can be a risk for normal wear and tear causing unexpected mechanical breakdowns. For this reason, it is recommended that all homeowners sign up for home service agreements in Durham.

If your central heating system, central A/C unit, or electrical system experiences a mechanical failure due to normal wear and tear, having protection from an expensive repair or replacement is essential because a delay can make living conditions in the home very uncomfortable for everyone, and even unsafe.

If the issue is due to normal wear and tear or mechanical failure and it is a covered item, then the appliance or system will be repaired or replaced within the terms and conditions of the plan. For covered repairs the homeowner will only have to pay a nominal $55 service fee for most cases.
