One Home Coverage guide

Home warranty vs. homeowners insurance

Homeowners insurance and home warranties address different risks. This guide explains common differences for educational comparison only.

Important: One Home Coverage is not an insurer, insurance agency, broker, warranty company, service contract provider, claims administrator, or coverage/claim decision maker.

Key points to review

  • Homeowners insurance commonly addresses covered sudden losses such as fire, wind, theft, or liability, subject to policy terms.
  • Home warranties commonly address repair or replacement of specified home systems and appliances from normal wear, subject to contract terms.
  • Provider documents, state rules, exclusions, deductibles, service fees, and claim decisions control actual outcomes.

Before choosing a provider

Read all provider documents carefully. Third-party providers determine coverage, eligibility, pricing or rates, exclusions, claim handling, service fees, contractor availability, approvals, and terms. One Home Coverage does not guarantee approval, savings, coverage, repairs, reimbursement, or claim outcomes.
