Smart idea! Home appliance insurance typically costs between $35 and $75 per month, not including the service fee you must pay each time you utilize the service.
A typical homeowners policy will cover damage from malfunctioning appliances if the cause was a covered peril
. But the policy will not normally cover wear and tear and other repairs to the appliances themselves. Home appliance insurance can help you insure specific appliances, including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems.
In this plan, your monthly fee acts as a sort of deductible. If you pay a lower monthly rate, your service call fee will be higher. If you pay more per month, you’ll pay less for a service call. Note that coverage may be capped to less than the full price.
Remember to register your appliances for their manufacturer warranties, too!
