FAQ’s
What is a home warranty, and how does it work in Utah?
A home warranty in Utah is a service contract that helps cover the cost of repairing or replacing major home systems and appliances that break down due to normal wear and tear. SilverBack Home Warranty provides Utah homeowners peace of mind by offering affordable protection for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, as well as common household appliances. When a covered item fails, simply file a claim, and we’ll send a licensed Utah technician to diagnose and resolve the issue.
How is a home warranty different from homeowners insurance in Utah?
While homeowners insurance protects against unexpected events like fire, theft, or natural disasters, a Utah home warranty covers breakdowns of systems and appliances due to regular use. Together, these policies provide full protection for your home.
