Peace of Mind for Every Home.
What is a Home Protection Plan?
A home warranty is a contract that provides coverage for a year, helping to pay for repairs and replacements when certain systems and appliances within the home fail. This type of warranty supplements homeowner’s insurance by covering damages not covered by insurance, such as those resulting from normal wear and tear or inadequate maintenance.
The Consumers Energy Home Protection Plan offers added benefits to homeowners, such as discounts on new appliances and services, including technical installations and set-up, pre-season heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) check-ups, and more.
Why You Need A Home Protection Plan
Consumers Energy’s Home Protection Plan is an excellent option for dealing with the certainty that all household systems and appliances will eventually break down. The plan provides financial assistance for covered repairs and even offers replacement options if the item cannot be repaired. This is a cost-effective and time-saving solution for managing unexpected home repairs.
What's Covered in the Protection Plan?
Consumers Energy’s Home Protection Plan offers comprehensive coverage for the essential parts of your home, including your heating and cooling systems, electrical and plumbing systems, kitchen and laundry appliances, and roof leak repairs, among others. This plan provides a greater value and level of protection compared to individual appliance warranties, ensuring that you are well taken care of in case of any breakdowns.
Is Protection Plan a Good Investment?
For instance, fixing or replacing an A/C unit without a home warranty can be quite expensive and cost up to $3,800 out of pocket. On the other hand, with a home warranty from Consumers Energy, you would only pay a pre-selected Trade Service Call Fee, which is either $75, $100, or $150. In the event that the A/C unit cannot be repaired, Consumers Energy will provide a replacement.

GUIDE TO UTILIZING YOUR HOME WARRANTY.
For homeowners who have acquired a home warranty for their current property, there is a 30-day waiting period before the plan can be put into use. On the other hand, if you obtained your warranty during a real estate transaction, your coverage becomes effective at the time of closing.
