About Allied Home Warranty

Ready for cooler weather?

It may not feel like it yet, but Autumn is around the corner. Cooler days will be a welcome relief from this past summer’s brutal heat. Now’s the perfect time to have your heating system inspected by a qualified technician.Make sure your heater runs as efficiently as possible this fall and winter.

Why are yearly inspections important?

· They keep your system running. Regular maintenance has been proven to extend the life of your system.Don’t lose heat during the middle of winter.

· They lower utility bills. A clean system not only works better, it uses less energy.

· They help you avoid more costly repairs. Gas and electric furnaces have parts that can wear out or break. A full system check can help you catch problems before they cause more costly damage.

Changing filters yourself is one of the easiest things you can do to increase system performance and help your heating and cooling system last. Check the manufacturer instructions for filter location and size. Washable filters can usually be cleaned with soap and warm water.

It’s that time of year for a heater tune-up. Schedule yours today.

Have you had your heater tune-up this year?

Does Your A/C Need A Tune Up?

Even though summer is already off and running, that doesn’t mean it’s too late to get an A/C tune up. Although it’s always best to get one before you start using your A/C for the season, you can still get one right now.

Now’s also a good time to also get your heating system tuned up and ready for the fall months.

A/C Tune Ups

There are plenty of reasons to get an A/C tune up. Some of those reasons include:

· Helping to improve the efficiency of your A/C system and lowering your utility bill!

· Making sure your system runs properly

· Discovering problems before the system breaks down

Think of your A/C like a car—it’s always a good idea to get your car an annual tune up. Same goes for your A/C and heating unit.

An A/C tune up helps prolong the life of your cooling system.

When you take good care of the systems in your home by getting an A/C tune up and heating system check at least once a year, you won’t have to worry about the “what ifs.”

3 Reasons to Buy A Home Warranty

There are plenty of reasons to buy a home warranty, but the biggest reason of all is also the most obvious: to protect your investment.

You just bought a house, you just became a homeowner. And with that comes a lot of additional responsibility, like fixing stuff when it breaks.

If you don’t buy a home warranty, you’re going to have to come out of pocket every time you need to repair or replace something. Which, depending on the age of your home, could cost quite a bit.

More Reasons to Buy A Home Warranty

Other than protecting your investment, there are two other main reasons to buy a home warranty:

· Save on Out-of-Pocket Expenses—when you buy a home warranty, usually you only have to come up with a small service fee in order to get something in your home repaired or replaced. That’s a whole lot cheaper than the alternative.

· There When You Need It—when something goes wrong and you need to make a service claim, the home warranty you bought will be there for you. The company’s customer service team will be there to take your request, find you an approved service provider and send them out to your home quickly.

When you don’t buy a home warranty, you have to locate your own service provider and not all of them will be immediately available to help you. Which means you could wait days to have something in your home repaired or replaced, even if you need to use it now.

Is those are not reason enough for you, how about this one—think back to the last time something broke in your home.

How many days did it take for the repairperson to show up and fix it? How many days before you actually had the money to call the repairperson? Think about the hassle, the cost, the stress of not having that item working in your home.

Now isn’t it worth taking the time to buy a home warranty, just so you don’t have to go through that again?

What compelled you to buy a home warranty?

Introducing the Allied Referral Program

The Allied One Page Contract: Making Home Warranties Easy

In life, you’re constantly hearing people say “read the fine print.”

Commercials make huge claims and then write the real deal so tiny on the TV screen you couldn’t read it even with a magnifying glass. Contracts are typically five pages long or more and contain so much jargon and legal speak you have no clue what you really just signed up for.

While it’s true you should read the fine print and know what you’re signing, it’s still a daunting task since most contracts have so much fine print.

That’s why you should look for a home warranty company that makes it easy for you to understand exactly what you’re getting.

Some home warranty companies actually do that. Some companies have easy-to-understand contracts that don’t use fine print tactics to trick you into purchasing a warranty through them.

Why You Should Avoid Fine Print Contracts

Let’s face it, having to read all that tiny print is the pits. You have more important things to think about, like what you’re cooking for dinner or finding out which field your son’s soccer game is on.

Many home warranty companies like to use fine print to tell you things they know you really don’t want to hear. So they sugar-coat things up front, making it look like a sweet deal. And then later when you try to file a claim, they hit you with extra fees.

When you tell them that’s not what they told you up front, they’ll say to “read your contract—it’s in the fine print.”

Who wants to deal with a headache like that?

You Need A One Page Contract

At Allied, we believe home warranty coverage should be upfront, simple and easy to understand. That’s why we created the One Page Contract, an industry-first.

Our One Page Contract tells you exactly what your warranty covers and how much it will cost you for repairs and replacements outside of your coverage. It’s a straight-forward contract that helps give you some peace of mind.

With Allied, you won’t spend time reading through pages and pages of fine print. In fact, you can read our One Page Contract pretty quickly.

You can even read it ahead of time by visiting our website.

You only have so much time in a day, why waste it focusing on things that don’t matter? When you choose Allied Home Warranty, you’re choosing to get your home covered and get back to your life.

What’s the longest fine print contract you’ve ever come across?

How to Choose a Home Warranty

If you’re looking to choose a home warranty, it’s probably because you’re getting ready to move. Or maybe it’s because you just moved into a new place and want to get protected from the unexpected.

Either way, there are several important factors you should consider when you choose a home warranty.

Factors for When You Choose A Home Warranty

Here are some things you should consider before you choose a home warranty:

1. Do you really need one?—the answer to this one is up to you to decide. Do you want to protect your home from the cost of unexpected repairs and replacements? Do you want to pay a small deductible or do you want to cover the entire repair cost from your pocket?

If you’re looking to keep your costs as low as possible, your best bet is to choose a home warranty.

2. What does it cover?—most home warranties have pages of fine print, so you need to make sure you read it all thoroughly before you choose. These companies are banking on the fact that you’re not reading all the fine print, so they include all kinds of terms, conditions and additional costs instead of telling you about them up front. That’s why reading the fine print is important.

For example, if you’re looking for an easy-to-understand home warranty that tells you in one page exactly what your warranty covers, you could choose Allied Home Warranty. We have a simple one-page contract that makes warranty coverage easy for you.

3. What is the deductible?—it’s important to know how much money is going to come out of your pocket if/when you do need to use your home warranty. The average is about $60, but some companies charge more.

4. What is the annual cost?—you want to make sure when you choose a home warranty that you determine ahead of time if the annual cost, plus the cost of the deductible is worth it. If you’re paying an arm and a leg per year, plus a high deductible, and you never end up using your warranty, that’s wasted money.

5. Are you selling your home anytime soon?—if you are, a home warranty can be a great motivator for a buyer who’s on the fence. Offering a warranty with the sale of your home helps ease a potential buyer’s mind, making him feel better about his purchase.

6. How is the company’s customer service?—you want to choose a home warranty that has a good customer service team. Otherwise you may find yourself dealing with a whole lot of hoop-jumping before you finally get your warranty request serviced.

One way to test a company’s customer service is to call in and ask questions. See what your experience is like overall before you choose a home warranty.

7. What are the company’s reviews like?—a good way to get a feel for how it would be to have a warranty from a certain company is to find reviews online. Of course, you should always keep in mind that most reviews are written by angry people who only review things when they’re unhappy, regardless of whether it was the company’s fault or not.

By keeping this list of important deciding factors in mind when you choose a home warranty, you’ll be able to make the best possible decision for your home.

Fit for Purpose Home Maintenance Plans from Allied Home Warranty

Owning a house is a dream for many Americans, and many people live this dream every day. But maintaining that house is equally important and will add life to your property. Home maintenance is not done just for the land but also for all the assets and belongings within the house. Maintenance of all these sometimes becomes a challenge as homeowners are not able to take care of all required matters. In such cases, one must rely on a professional service that guarantees the upkeep of your assets. Allied Home Warranty offers a full range of comprehensive services to help consumers protect and maintain their homes.

Allied Home Warranty protects your investment and your home in several instances. When your air conditioner throws up a white flag or your washing machine stops mid-cycle, you can avoid spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on repairs, not to mention time and energy. That’s where Allied Home Warranty comes in to provide easy, budget-friendly home repair and maintenance service. Often these systems breakdown at the worst times and need to be attended immediately.

At Allied, we offer repair, replacement or maintenance coverage to avoid high costs associated with the breakdown of appliances and unexpected costs of repairs to your home’s systems and appliances. Unexpected expenses come when it’s least convenient and when people can least afford them. We help families keep their budgets on track. In the past, home owners had no other options if any of the home appliances were broken down unless they were still covered under the manufacturer's warranty. But now, with Allied Home Warranty’s protection plans, you have solutions to your problems. Allied helps cover breakdown of most all appliances in emergency situations.

Allied coverage plans include repair and maintenance of A/C, Heating & Ductwork. Your heating, ventilation and air conditioning are closely interrelated and provide comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. Allied also provides Plumbing & Stoppages services. The plumbing system is composed of a system that brings freshwater in and a system that takes wastewater out. The water that enters into the home has enough pressure to enable it to travel upstairs, around corners and to other areas of the home. As water enters into the home, it passes through a meter that registers the usage amount.

Allied provides excellent services in home appliances like water heaters too. Water heaters go through a thermodynamic process that uses an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. When using the hot water tap, heated water is drawn into the home’s pipes from the top of the water heater. To replace the water being used, fresh cold water flows into the bottom of the tank, activating the heating element. Apart from this, other devices can include your microwave, dishwasher, range/stovetop, garbage disposal, washer and dryer and more. In short, Allied offers coverage for all your home appliances.

With Allied, your electricity supply is also maintained efficiently within your home. The electric meter tracks the amount of energy delivered and consumed by the household. Our other services like garage door opener help you manage your garage doors with a motorized device. Most things are controlled by switches on the garage wall, as well as by remote controls carried in the garage owner's cars, or on key chains.

Allied’s No fault coverage plans protect buyers from breakdowns caused by unknown pre-existing conditions, such as rust and corrosion, lack of maintenance, mismatched systems and improper installation or repairs. Allied even covers you when tree roots damage pipes!! Now that’s coverage!!

Allied home warranty is available whenever you need help. You can contact our service department 24/7. We’ll send out one of our pre-qualified technicians who will provide you fast, friendly service. Our optional Plus 250 and Plus 500 coverage choices can be availed to custom fit our warranty plan to the unique needs of your home. At Allied, we make your life easier.
