from this company because each one covers only a single appliance (such as your refrigerator) or appliance suite ( such as your clothes washer and dryer). I\u2019d rather pay a small monthly fee and have all my home\u2019s appliances and home systems covered, especially pricey ones such as my HVAC system, which can <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/hvac\/cost\/hvac-installation-cost\/#:~:text=GET%20ESTIMATES&amp;text=In%20general%2C%20you%20can%20expect%20to%20pay%20between%20%244%2C000%20and,old%20furnace%20removal%2C%20and%20labor.\">cost over $10,000<\/a> to replace (and I definitely don\u2019t want to be without an air conditioner in the hot summer).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Costco home warranty plans don\u2019t even offer the option for coverage on home systems, such as your plumbing, HVAC, or electrical, which are typical home warranty offerings, and you can\u2019t enroll in valuable add-on protections. Add-ons such as roof leak coverage or protection for your pool or second fridge can prove invaluable when they suddenly break down and rack up hundreds or thousands of dollars in repairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, Costco plans have one-time fees ranging from $89.99 to $399.99 for three years of coverage, which is inexpensive when broken down monthly compared to typical home warranty premiums. So, this can be a decent option if you\u2019re interested in coverage (essentially an extended manufacturer\u2019s warranty) just for your new appliance or set of appliances.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8baa4572\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ea9f0352 gb-tabs\" data-opened-tab=\"1\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-e482a7a1 gb-button-text gb-tabs__button gb-block-is-current\">What I Like About Costco Home Warranty<\/button><\/p>\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-722d522f gb-button-text gb-tabs__button\">What I Don\u2019t Like About Costco Home Warranty<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-3b162802 gb-tabs__items\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-03a33476 gb-tabs__item gb-tabs__item-open\">\n<p>Costco doesn\u2019t offer traditional home warranty plans, which usually cover various appliances and home systems, such as your HVAC. However, you can opt for an extra three years of coverage on a single appliance or appliance suite (such as your washer and dryer) at a relatively low cost, so this can be a good option if you purchased a particularly nice appliance from Costco and want extra protection for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Costco\u2019s warranty coverage is through SquareTrade, an Allstate company with a fantastic reputation. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/ca\/brisbane\/profile\/extended-warranty-contract-service-companies\/allstate-protection-plans-1116-35878\">Better Business Bureau accredits Allstate Protection Plans and gives them an A rating<\/a> \u2014 higher credentials than it awards most warranty companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b5d24608 gb-tabs__item\">\n<p>Costco\u2019s \u201chome warranty\u201d is more of an extended manufacturer\u2019s warranty, so if you\u2019re in the market for a standard home warranty, I\u2019d recommend a traditional home warranty company like Liberty Home Guard or American Home Shield, which have plans that cover 10, 15, or even 20 or more items. Plus, you can\u2019t opt for add-ons like you can with most home warranty companies. For example, both providers offer roof leak or well coverage if you want to beef up your coverage, which can save you hundreds of dollars in water damage or repair costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Costco\u2019s home warranty terms and conditions reveal many exclusions. Some are standard to the home warranty industry, like preexisting conditions or acts of nature, so this doesn\u2019t worry me, but others are more concerning. For example, you must keep up with routine maintenance, and the accumulation of dirt, debris, and even body oils can lead to claim denials, meaning you\u2019re out of money for repair or replacement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty Plans and Coverage\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.2\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Costco offers home warranties through Allstate Protection Plans. They offer three types of coverage \u2014 single appliance, kitchen suite, and laundry suite \u2014 with varying levels of coverage based on the price of the appliance or appliance suite. You can choose from three single-appliance coverage plans, which cover prices up to $2,000 and more, or opt for suite coverage for kitchen and laundry appliances purchased at Costco.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most home warranty plans, each plan only covers one item or a combined laundry or kitchen appliance suite, such as a washer and dryer or stove and microwave combo. You must purchase these plans within 90 days of buying the appliance or suite from Costco. By default, Costco covers its appliances by manufacturer or a technical warranty for the first two years. The Allstate Protection Plan kicks in for extended coverage from years three to five.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Plan<\/td>\n<td>One-Time Cost<\/td>\n<td>Per-VisitService Fee<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Appliances Under $1,000<\/td>\n<td>$89.99<\/td>\n<td>No charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Appliances $1,000 \u2013 $2,000<\/td>\n<td>$119.99<\/td>\n<td>No charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Appliances Above $2,000<\/td>\n<td>$159.99<\/td>\n<td>No charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kitchen Suites Under $2,000<\/td>\n<td>$174.99<\/td>\n<td>No charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kitchen Suites Under $2,000 \u2013 $4,000<\/td>\n<td>$299.99<\/td>\n<td>No charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Kitchen Suites Above $4,000<\/td>\n<td>$399.99<\/td>\n<td>No charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Laundry Suites Under $2,000<\/td>\n<td>$174.99<\/td>\n<td>No charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Laundry Suites Above $2,000<\/td>\n<td>$219.99<\/td>\n<td>No charge<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Available Add-Ons<\/h5>\n<p>Unlike most home warranty companies, Costco doesn\u2019t offer traditional home warranty plans with the option for add-on coverages for items such as water filtration systems and extra refrigerators. Each Costco protection plan is for a single appliance and doesn\u2019t come with the option to add coverage in any way, lowering Costco\u2019s overall score for plan options as it\u2019s very limiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty Cost &amp; Affordability\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.2\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Costco home warranties rank well for affordability because you only pay a one-time fee for three years of coverage. During my secret shopping, I found that these fees can range from $89.99 to $399.99, which is quite a bit of money for one payment but averages out to <strong>$2.50 to $11.11<\/strong> per month over three years. This is significantly less expensive than the average monthly <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/home-finances\/cost\/home-warranty-cost\/\">home warranty premium of $50.<\/a> However, it\u2019s important to note that traditional home warranties typically cover five to 20 items in a single plan, so it\u2019s like comparing apples to oranges. Overall, Costco is an <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/home-finances\/reviews\/cheapest-home-warranty\/\">affordable home warranty option <\/a>if you want extra coverage on a single new appliance or appliance suite, like your sparkly washer and dryer combo, but don\u2019t want a complete home warranty plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty Customer Experience<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.6\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Costco home warranties are only available for Costco members, limiting the pool of potential customers. However, like many of Costco\u2019s services, this service is highly rated on third-party websites, such as Trustpilot and Yelp. You receive up to five years of overall protection as your Costco appliance automatically comes with two years of warranty protection, and the home warranty purchase extends this by another three years (five in total). As long as you purchase the appliance protection plan within 90 days of buying the appliance, you\u2019re eligible to receive this coverage as part of your Costco membership. Unlike most home warranty providers, you don\u2019t need a personalized quote \u2014 the process is super simple as everything has a flat, one-time fee. You also don\u2019t have to worry about constant follow-up calls, which I\u2019ve experienced with other home warranty companies after submitting information for a quote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty Company Reputation<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.6\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Costco has a fantastic company reputation, especially when you consider how well SquareTrade, the Allstate company that handles Costco\u2019s extended warranty, is reviewed. Allstate Protection Plans receives an A rating and accreditation from the Better Business Bureau, giving me a lot of faith in how they treat customers behind the scenes. Customers also rate this provider highly, with a 4.1 rating from Trustpilot and a 4.5-star rating from Google Reviews. I rarely see home warranty providers with ratings this high, so this is a real highlight for Costco.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Positive customer reviews share that Allstate Protection Plans have <strong>fast claims resolution, exceptional customer service <\/strong>that truly listens to the customer, and <strong>high-quality repairs<\/strong>. In contrast, negative reviews share that they experienced claim denials, even when the customers had all the original receipts, which is worrying.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Rating Site<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Rating<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em># of Reviews<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>BBB<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>A \/ 3.53 out of 5 stars<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>853<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Trustpilot<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>4.1 out of 5 stars<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>23,999<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Google<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>4.5 out of 5 stars<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>7,122<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: The ratings provided were accurate at the time of writing.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty Claims Process<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Costco has an excellent claims process, which SquareTrade, an Allstate company, conducts. You can file your claim at <a href=\"http:\/\/allstateprotectionplans.com\/Costco\">AllstateProtectionPlans.com\/Costco<\/a> or call the customer service phone number 24\/7\/365. When you submit your claim, have the original appliance receipt on hand, as you\u2019ll need this information to complete the process. Costco shares that most claims are approved instantly, and then a customer service specialist will walk you through the next steps. This is an exceptionally fast turnaround, as many home warranty companies take 48 hours or more to approve or deny a claim, which is less than ideal when your dishwasher is leaking all over the kitchen floor. After your claim is approved, the specialist will schedule an in-home service visit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty Transparency &amp; Ease of Use\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Costco lists protection plan terms and conditions on each of their appliance protection plan pages. You can view the document or download it, making it straightforward to review the specific fine print of your policy. In terms of exclusions, I find Costco\u2019s to be quite extensive compared to most providers I\u2019ve reviewed before. Costco has nearly 30 different exclusions that I found in a single appliance plan, which can quickly lead to this provider denying your claim if you can\u2019t provide pictures and prove that you\u2019ve kept up with routine maintenance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exclusions<\/h5>\n<p>Costco has an extensive list of exclusions (listed below)\u00a0 that can easily trip up the average homeowner. I\u2019m most worried about the preexisting conditions and routine maintenance exclusion, as it can be challenging for homeowners to stay on top of all home maintenance flawlessly. In addition, I don\u2019t like that damage caused by accumulation is an exclusion. This exclusion means that Costco won\u2019t cover your appliance if the repair needed results from the accumulation of dirt, debris, and even body oil. I\u2019ve never seen another home warranty provider with this exclusion.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Normal wear and tear\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Any and all preexisting exclusions\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Natural flaws or inherent design or manufacturing defects<\/li>\n<li>Intentional damage<\/li>\n<li>Loss or theft<\/li>\n<li>Fraudulently described products<\/li>\n<li>Secondary or collateral damage<\/li>\n<li>Damage caused by weather conditions<\/li>\n<li>Improper electrical or power supply<\/li>\n<li>Improper equipment modification<\/li>\n<li>Vandalism<\/li>\n<li>Animal or insect damage<\/li>\n<li>Corrosion<\/li>\n<li>Battery leakage<\/li>\n<li>Act of nature<\/li>\n<li>Damage caused by \u201caccumulation\u201d (dirt, dust, oils, etc.)\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Lack of maintenance or care<\/li>\n<li>Misuse or abuse of the product<\/li>\n<li>Damage caused by cleaning methods, products, or materials<\/li>\n<li>Defects due to the installation, hookup, or assembly of your product<\/li>\n<li>Damage caused by transit, redelivery, removal, delivery, or reinstallation of the product<\/li>\n<li>Claims made improperly or an incorrectly purchased protection plan<\/li>\n<li>Cosmetic damage<\/li>\n<li>Accidental or liquid damage<\/li>\n<li>Consumer-replaceable or consumable batteries, unless otherwise specified<\/li>\n<li>Products with removed or altered serial numbers<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturer defects or failures covered by the manufacturer\u2019s warranty<\/li>\n<li>Damage to computer hardware, software, or data<\/li>\n<li>Any product that is sold \u201cas is\u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: While this article highlights certain exclusions, it\u2019s imperative for readers to review their contracts as the mentioned exclusions are not exhaustive, and additional exclusions may apply.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty Flexibility in Service Providers<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Costco receives a perfect score in this category because you can choose your own provider. Costco\u2019s home warranty is done through SquareTrade, an Allstate company, and their claims specialist allows you to select your provider during the repair scheduling process.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty vs. The Competition<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty vs. Liberty Home Guard<\/h3>\n<p>Liberty Home Guard is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/home-finances\/reviews\/best-home-warranty\/\">best-rated home warranty providers<\/a> in the industry, with high 4-star ratings from third-party review websites such as Trustpilot. Customers consistently praise Liberty for their excellent customer service, which this provider shares with Costco\u2019s home warranty department. However, Liberty Home Guard far outpaces Costco with their three plan options \u2014 all of which cover many appliances, major home systems, or both. Plus, you can choose from over 40 add-ons with unique coverage for things like carpet cleaning, window washing, pest control, and other helpful coverage like roof leak coverage. Costco doesn\u2019t have this as an option, leaving you far less flexibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both of these providers allow you to choose your own service provider, which is a plus, and I find both of their claims processes straightforward and quick \u2014 although I do love that you can submit and track claims on a mobile app with Liberty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Liberty is my recommendation between these two providers unless you\u2019re looking for an extended appliance plan on a single appliance you\u2019ve purchased with Costco.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td\/>\n<td>Costco Home Warranty<\/td>\n<td>Liberty Home Guard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Plans and Coverage<\/td>\n<td>6.2<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cost &amp; Affordability<\/td>\n<td>9.2<\/td>\n<td>7.8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Customer Experience<\/td>\n<td>7.6<\/td>\n<td>7.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Company Reputation<\/td>\n<td>9.6<\/td>\n<td>9.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Claims Process<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Transparency &amp; Ease of Use<\/td>\n<td>7.0<\/td>\n<td>9.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Flexibility in Service Providers<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty vs. American Home Shield<\/h3>\n<p>American Home Shield is one of my preferred home warranty providers because of their relative lack of exclusions. For example, you don\u2019t have to worry about unknown preexisting conditions, normal wear and tear, or keeping routine maintenance records to have American Home Shield approve your claims. On the other hand, Costco\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/home-finances\/reviews\/appliance-insurance\/\">appliance protection plans<\/a> are strict about these factors, which could result in frustrating claim denials if you don\u2019t stay on top of routine maintenance or are unaware of a preexisting condition that your new dishwasher had before the policy became active.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In Costco\u2019s favor, Allstate Protection Plans has a much better overall customer rating and reputation than American Home Shield. While the Better Business Bureau accredits both companies for their plans, AHS receives consistently low 2-star ratings on average from third-party review websites, while Allstate Protection Plans wins 3- and 4-star reviews on average, which is more reassuring.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, I recommend American Home Shield if you\u2019re looking for comprehensive coverage and fewer exclusions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td\/>\n<td>Costco Home Warranty<\/td>\n<td>American Home Shield<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Plans and coverage<\/td>\n<td>6.2<\/td>\n<td>9.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cost &amp; Affordability<\/td>\n<td>9.2<\/td>\n<td>7.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Customer Experience<\/td>\n<td>7.6<\/td>\n<td>8.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Company Reputation<\/td>\n<td>9.6<\/td>\n<td>7.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Claims Process<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>8.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Transparency &amp; Ease of Use<\/td>\n<td>7.0<\/td>\n<td>9.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Flexibility in Service Providers<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>5.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costco Home Warranty vs. Elite Home Warranty<\/h3>\n<p>Elite Home Warranty is a traditional home warranty provider offering three comprehensive plans with fantastic coverage caps of <strong>up to $6,000 for appliances and $10,000 for home systems<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/home-finances\/reviews\/best-home-warranty-for-hvac\/\">such as your HVAC<\/a>. Unlike Costco, Elite\u2019s plans cover many home systems and appliances, giving me much greater peace of mind. If you\u2019re only interested in appliance coverage, Elite\u2019s Appliances plan covers the essential appliances in your home, like your fridge, clothes washer and dryer, dishwasher, oven, and more. Otherwise, you can opt for my preferred plan, their Elite Complete plan, a combination plan covering appliances and home systems, such as your electric and plumbing systems. You don\u2019t have to purchase your appliances from Costco to be eligible for coverage with Elite, as they cover nearly all brands, excluding commercial-grade appliances. However, if you have luxury appliances, you\u2019ll want to note that Elite charges a hefty service charge of $150 per visit for repairs on high-end appliances, while Costco charges no service fee.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I\u2019d recommend Elite Home Warranty if you\u2019re interested in a wide range of coverage on multiple appliances. You can even choose a specific add-on for extra coverage on certain appliances and home systems to increase your overall coverage caps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td\/>\n<td>Costco Home Warranty<\/td>\n<td>Elite Home Warranty<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Plans and coverage<\/td>\n<td>6.2<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cost &amp; Affordability<\/td>\n<td>9.2<\/td>\n<td>7.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Customer Experience<\/td>\n<td>7.6<\/td>\n<td>7.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Company Reputation<\/td>\n<td>9.6<\/td>\n<td>8.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Claims Process<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>6.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Transparency &amp; Ease of Use<\/td>\n<td>7.0<\/td>\n<td>9.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Flexibility in Service Providers<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is Costco Home Warranty Best For?<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Costco members wanting extra protection on a single, new appliance or appliance suite<\/li>\n<li>Landlords interested in an extended appliance manufacturer\u2019s warranty<\/li>\n<li>Homeowners with all-new appliances who want to extend their manufacturer\u2019s warranties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Costco\u2019s \u201chome warranty\u201d is more of an extended appliance warranty on a single appliance or kitchen or laundry suite, like your washer and dryer combo.

They may also be ideal for Costco members who invest in a high-end appliance and want extra coverage that can pay for a complete replacement should anything happen within the first five years of their purchase. If you\u2019re on a tight budget and can\u2019t afford a home warranty but want coverage on a single new appliance, the Costco home warranty gives you three extra years of protection, making it a unique option if the monthly fee of a true home warranty would be a financial burden.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<div id=\"hm-faq-block_0f63490a5058a4ab00c650de0ae1531a 1\" class=\"hm-faq hm-faq--one-column\">\n<h2 class=\"hm-faq__title \" data-toc-text=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<div class=\"hm-faq__item\">\n<h3 class=\"faqQuestion accordion mb-0\">\n                        Is Costco&#8217;s Home Warranty Legit?                    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"faqAnswer panel\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costco Home Warranty doesn\u2019t offer true home warranties \u2014 they offer appliance protection plans, which are more like extended manufacturer warranties on a single appliance rather than comprehensive home warranty plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"my-2\"\/>\n<div class=\"hm-faq__item\">\n<h3 class=\"faqQuestion accordion mb-0\">\n                        How Much Does Costco&#8217;s Home Warranty Cost?                    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"faqAnswer panel\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costco home warranties cost between\u00a0 $89.99 and $399.99 on average, depending on the selected plan.
