Common home repairs in the Yellowhammer State that can be covered

Due to Alabama's humid subtropical climate, homeowners may face a variety of home maintenance challenges. Summers are typically hot and humid, while winters are mild but can occasionally bring occasional freezing temperatures. Alabama also experiences severe weather events, including strong thunderstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes, particularly in coastal areas and the southern part of the state. 

These weather conditions and natural wear and tear contribute to the need for regular home maintenance. Some of Alabama's most common home repairs involve HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical systems and appliances.  

While homeowners insurance covers damage from unexpected disasters like storms and fires, it does not typically cover normal wear and tear on essential home systems and appliances. That’s where a home warranty from Cinch Home Services can help, providing coverage for the systems and appliances you rely on daily.

Home warranty coverage: What should your plan include in Alabama? 

To help you manage common repair needs, Cinch Home Services offers home warranty plans that cover: 

HVAC systems – Air conditioning and heating are essential in Alabama’s extreme temperatures. The last thing you want to do is be uncomfortable in your home because your HVAC system breaks down.  

Plumbing systems – Due to hard water and heavy usage, pipes, water heaters and sump pumps can require repairs. Don’t put yourself in a situation where you’re scrambling to find a good local plumber. With a home warranty plan, you’ll know exactly who to call.  

Electrical systems — Wiring, outlets and circuit breakers may need maintenance over time. An electrical system can often be complicated to fix. Instead of putting yourself at risk and causing more damage with a DIY repair effort, consider leaving it to the experts and service technicians.  

Appliances – Daily-use appliances like refrigerators, ovens, washing machines and dryers can break down unexpectedly. We understand that life can get busy. With a home warranty plan, you can save time by filing a claim to help with repair.

What to look for in a home warranty company

Alabama bridge

When shopping for a home warranty in Alabama, keeping your needs and budget in mind is important. Some things to look for as signs of a reputable company are easy-to-understand coverage and clear plan options. Also, look for statements of workmanship guarantees and an extensive network of service providers to ensure your plan is there for you when needed. 

How to use reviews and testimonials to guide your decision 

Reviews and testimonials are great resources for the right home warranty plan. Be wary of companies with very few reviews, as this could indicate that they are not legitimate. Also, don't put too much stock into a handful of negative reviews if a company has a lot of positive feedback.  

It’s also important to note that you need to look at multiple review sites to make the best decision. Some review platforms are more prone to fake and malicious reviews going unnoticed, creating a negative bias for first-time customers. Make sure you glance at positive and negative reviews to form the most objective assessment.  

Understand the role of reputable platforms 

There are other ways customers can research home warranty companies. When buying a home warranty plan, check out websites like ConsumerAffairs  that dive deep into how companies perform.  

Understand service fees  

What's a service fee? In essence, this is a fee (sometimes called a deductible) is a feee that you'll pay out of pocket when you file a claim under your home warranty plan for your appliance or home system Different plans have different service fees, so read the fine print when signing a contract.  

Consider the service provider network of different companies 

Even if your plan has excellent coverage options, its usefulness only goes as far as service providers do. Do your best to find a home warranty company with many highly rated service providers. Speed and expertise are of the essence when any of your crucial home appliances or systems break down due to normal wear and tear.

Is there a difference between homeowners insurance and home warranty in Alabama?

What customers say about our home warranties:
quotes
Cinch Home Services has been pretty prompt in their response. To have a response within 72 hours is pretty amazing. They had to wait for a part but they've taken care of it satisfactorily. They covered their feet, they were very professional and seemed to be knowledgeable.
quotes
My washing machine broke down and Cinch ordered the repair to be set up. A part kept being on backorder so they sent me a new washing machine. It was a great experience. They were very good about everything. I also had a claim for the refrigerator and it ended up being a lot more expensive and extensive repair than we originally thought it was going to be. So, that again, was a very good service I’m very happy.
quotes
When I call Cinch, they've been all informational, excellent and knowledgeable. Ordered the parts and came right out. So far, they're on time, very easy to contact, schedule and very knowledgeable on what they do. I'm very happy with my experience with Cinch.
quotes
Cinch has been very good. They come out right away. Generally, they schedule a service when it's convenient for us, and the technicians we've had have been very nice. Having the home warranty program gives us peace of mind. We got it when we bought a new refrigerator. And in the first year, the compressor went out.
