Real stories, real customers

"Our AC isn't cooling down, and the repairmen have been to our house twice, but they still can't figure out what's wrong with the unit. Cinch and all the technicians have been great though. The first one was recommended by our neighbor and the second one was sent to us through Cinch. The third one is good as well. He's punctual, shows up professionally, and he's doing his best to figure out what's wrong with our AC. He's not done with the job yet, and he said he will be back this Thursday. Overall, we enjoy the warranty a lot. We even recommended a friend to get Cinch."

"When the air conditioner was acting up, I made the claim online, and immediately I got a response back with the technician that would be handling my claim. The next day, I got with the technician and they had my information already. They were scheduled to come on a Friday, but that technician was actually able to come the next day. So that was good. I didn't have to wait. He troubleshot everything and figured out what the issue was and got me going again. It's been easy to make claims and get issues solved with Cinch. We used them for our washing machine a couple of times, our refrigerator in the past, and also for the dishwasher one time. So I've had good dealings with them."

"I've been pleased with Cinch. Cinch took over my previous home warranty a year ago and now I get results and assignments to other vendors more quickly than I did with my previous home warranty group. I had an air conditioner claim last year and an issue with the hot water heater about a month ago. I placed the claim online and I had immediate feedback on who would be calling. The vendors that I worked with reached out right away to set up a time to come out and look at everything. The techs were both great. After the service call had been made and everything was taken care of, Cinch sent a text message, asking if the tech showed up, if I was satisfied, and if I needed anything else. That was something I didn't have before."

What is a home warranty?

A home warranty can be an added protection plan for when your air conditioner breaks down as a result of normal wear and tear. A home warranty plan can help to offset the cost of repairing or replacing your A/C system when it is experiencing trouble.

An A/C system can be a split or package system including a wall or window unit. In either case, they are integral to the functioning of your home and for maintaining the right in-home temperature.


What does a home warranty cover on an A/C system?

A home warranty provides coverage for the breakdown of air conditioning system parts and components, such as the geothermal system, mini-splits, ductwork, blower motor and more, if they break down due to normal wear and tear.

No matter what your home warranty coverage stipulates, your items may be deemed ineligible if they are not properly maintained. This means that it is important to regularly assess whether your A/C system is running at full efficiency.


At Cinch, we cover your HVAC systems regardless of its age, make or model as long as the unit is in good working order and has no apparent visual or operational malfunctions as of your service agreement effective date. For complete details, read the terms and conditions. 


When is the air conditioner not covered under a home warranty?

It is important to determine the root cause of the problem as that will determine where financial coverage might apply. For example, if you purchased a new A/C system and it had faulty wiring, then you would reach out to the manufacturer or HVAC company. This also applies to accidental or environmental damages to your HVAC system or air conditioner.

Since there are several different types of air conditioning systems, note that not all types can be covered under a home warranty. For example, stand-alone air conditioner units are not usually covered under your standard home warranty plan. A home warranty company might not be able to cover an older HVAC system or an A/C system that is not up to code.

There are some components of an air conditioning system that are exempt under home warranty coverage. A home warranty company will not be able to cover when the HVAC system needs to be updated to the code if it has rust or if it is not properly maintained.


Why should I have home warranty coverage for my air conditioning system?

While a home warranty provides optional coverage, there are a number of reasons why a home warranty can protect you and your family from expensive HVAC repair. With a home warranty that includes air conditioner warranty coverage, you can rely on the service contract with your warranty provider for fast and reliable service. With a home warranty, you worry less about fronting the financial cost.

Having both homeowners insurance and a home warranty in place will protect your home systems and appliances from costly repairs. A new A/C system can benefit from a home warranty because the manufacturer’s warranty does not always apply. The manufacturer’s warranty will usually only cover the A/C system for one year and it will be held liable for the installation or for defects of the system.
