Norfolk is a city located in the state of Virginia. Norfolk has a humid subtropical climate with moderate changes of seasons. A hot and muggy climate means extended use of Norfolk home systems and appliances like the central A/C unit, central heating, and electrical system. Long-term use of appliances and systems in 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 Norfolk.
The City of Norfolk’s summers are consistently warm and humid, but the nearby Atlantic Ocean often has a slight cooling effect on daytime high temperatures, and a slight warming effect on night time low temperatures. The city has occasional days over 90°F. Temperatures over 100°F are rare but can occur. On average, July is the warmest month and August is the wettest month, due to summer thunderstorm activity combined with a rising frequency of tropical activity like hurricanes and tropical storms, which can bring high winds and heavy rains. A humid subtropical climate means extra wear and tear on home appliances and systems. 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.
One of the best ways to protect home appliances and systems in Norfolk is to obtain a Home Service Agreement that’s flexible, affordable, and from a trusted provider, such as American Residential Warranty. A home service agreement helps protect homeowners from the high costs of unforeseen mechanical failures of their covered appliances and home systems, and the plan provides licensed, pre-screened, pre-qualified service technicians to assess the situation. 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 service fee of $55 in most cases.
