With long term use of home appliances and systems in Washington, homes can be at risk of normal wear and tear causing unexpected mechanical breakdowns. Washington has two distinct climate zones. Mild, humid, summer days west of the Cascades hardly ever rise above 79°F, and winter days rarely drop below 46°F. The east of the State has warm summers and cool winters. Western Washington experiences frequent cloud cover, fog and drizzle, and the western slopes of the Cascades receive up to 200 inches annual snowfall. Washington D.C. averages 39 inches of rainfall a year.
Temperature changes with the change in season means extended use of home systems like the central AC unit, electric system, and central heating system. If one of these systems experience 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 is to have a Home Service Agreement, available to Washington residents, from a trusted home service agreement provider such as American Residential Warranty. A home service agreement provides protection against unexpected repair costs for your covered appliances and systems, which would NOT normally be covered under homeowner’s insurance. Homeowner’s insurance usually just protects you against losses due to natural disasters, theft or vandalism but would NOT normally cover costs to repair appliances or systems when they breakdown due to normal wear and tear.

We also provide immediate service for emergency issues and we will respond to a request for service within 24-48 hours. American Residential Warranty customers can select their own service providers or use a technician from ARW’s larger network of licensed, pre-screened and pre-qualified service professionals. By having such an appliance service agreement, it will ensure that when a problem arises due to normal wear and tear on a covered system or appliance, it can be properly and quickly resolved without causing financial distress.
