Home appliance warranties

Home appliance warranties

When new appliances are bought, they now come with a warranty as standard, which is a form of insurance, should they have an electrical or mechanical failure. If your appliance break down, your manufacturer’s warranty should cover the cost of a call-out, labour and if necessary, replacement parts. The manufacturer’s warranty is what normally attracts consumers to shiny new products but extended warranties can also be purchased for older products and serve the same purpose to give you that all important peace of mind, should something go wrong.

Why do I need a warranty?

Many of the appliances we own and love within our homes can serve as a part of our daily routine, making life seem so much easier... until something goes wrong. When an appliance breaks down, the stress associated with finding a suitable tradesman for repairs and the financial woes that encompass that can seem a little overwhelming. Insurances are there to protect us financially and save us the trouble of sourcing repairmen, especially if the fault has occurred at an inconvenient time of day or night.

Home appliance warranty insurance can provide comprehensive electrical and mechanical cover with repairs up to the value of £2,000. Should you find that your appliance is beyond repair, goods are usually replaced like for like. Multi-appliance warranties can also cover up to 8 appliances throughout your home in a single policy.
