Why should I choose Cinch vs. other warranty companies? |
|
|
What does “unknown pre-existing condition” mean? |
|
An unknown pre-existing condition is best described as an undetectable failure. The Cinch Home Warranty covers mechanical failures provided that the failure could not have been DETECTED by a visual inspection or a simple mechanical test. Probing questions:
|
|
What if systems in the home cannot be tested? |
|
For example, air conditioners can’t be tested in the winter. If your buyers close on their home in the winter and have purchased a Cinch Home Warranty, they are covered! |
|
If a system or appliance breaks down, will you have a service company out that same day? |
|
When a homeowner contacts Cinch Home Services directly for authorization and to request service, we will make every effort to provide a referral to a Service Partner within two (2) hours after the service request is received during normal business hours, and within twenty-four (24) hours for requests received after normal business hours and on weekends or holidays. |

On a covered claim, repair or replacement, what can I expect to pay? |
