Our History
Founded in California in 1974 as Dependable Home Warranty, Old Republic Home Protection was established as a subsidiary of Old Republic International in 1982. In 1992, management restructuring set the groundwork for dramatically positive results in customer service, market share growth and increased profitability. Currently the third largest home warranty company nationwide, Old Republic Home Protection began expanding beyond California in 1995 and now conducts business in numerous states nationwide with new states being added annually.

Q: What is a home warranty? A: The standard home warranty is a one-year service contract that protects a resale home buyer or current homeowner against the cost of unexpected repairs or replacement of major systems and appliances that break down due to normal usage. Coverage is also available to home sellers during the listing and escrow period to help them keep unforeseen breakdowns from potentially delaying the close of sale.

Q: How does a home warranty help me? A: Old Republic Home Protection customers enjoy peace of mind, convenience, budget protection, and easy, dependable service. No more "searching the Yellow Pages" for a reputable repairman, no more "hassles" over the cost of repairs, no more "budget busting" repair bills.

Q: Does Old Republic Home Protection require an inspection? A: No. Inspections are required by some home warranty companies, but not with Old Republic Home Protection.

Q: What if I need service? A: Make one toll-free call to our Customer Service Department at 1-800-972-5985. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Or you can request service online.

Q: Who handles the repairs? A: Old Republic Home Protection maintains a network of qualified independent service contractors to serve you. The independent contractors we use have been carefully screened and meet our stringent service standards. We also follow up on every call to ensure that you are satisfied with the service that you have received.

Q: Do home warranty plans cover appliance or system replacement? A: Yes. You may already have warranties on individual items in your home, check these warranties carefully, since they may only cover parts and/or labor. With Old Republic Home Protection, parts, labor, and system replacement are all covered. Please review our Plan for complete coverage terms & conditions.

Q: What is the difference between my homeowner insurance policy and a home warranty plan? A: Old Republic Home Protection's one-year home warranty covers items not covered under your standard homeowner policy - filling a critical gap in the protection of your home. For example, if your dishwasher leaks and water damages the floor, your homeowner's insurance policy may cover the damage to the floor, but not the repair or replacement of the dishwasher. With an Old Republic Home Warranty, your dishwasher is covered!

Q: Can I renew each year? A: The Plan may be renewable. In that event, you will be notified of the prevailing rate and terms of renewal.
