Household Hints & Help

The service call charge is higher than others but they cover everything. I had Old Republic before and their service charge was $65 then went up to $75. Last summer my fridge stop cooling and I call Old Republic and they told me that since I didn't specify that I wanted coverage on my refridgerator, they wouldn't fix it.

My jaw dropped and I came close to cursing the rep out as the fridge is the main appliance you want covered so who would think you had to specify it?

No dice they told me. Not covered.

I then asked to pay to have it covered. That didn't work either. Not covered. I quit them right then and there on the phone. I lost a $400 worth of food and sevaral days to get it fixed by an appliance repair company. This prompted me to go online and I found that American Home Warranty covers everything without you having to say you want the main appliance you expect to be covered, covered.

Their service call is $100 but I gladly pay it as I know they will come quickly and if they can't fix it they will replace it.
