What Voids a Home Warranty? Mistakes to Avoid

A plan only helps if your claim is approved. Most denials trace back to a few avoidable mistakes.

Common reasons claims get denied

• Skipped maintenance: no record of routine service on the failed item
• Pre-existing problems: issues that began before coverage started
• Improper installation: equipment installed incorrectly to begin with
• Unauthorized repairs: fixing it yourself or using a non-approved technician before filing
• Not following the claim process: starting work before the claim is approved

How to keep your coverage valid

• Keep up with routine maintenance and save receipts
• Read your plan so you know what is covered and excluded
• File a claim and get authorization before any repair begins

With HomeProtect USA you can request service 24/7, and a licensed technician is dispatched for your covered repair—follow the simple steps and you are protected when it counts.
