What APHW Can Cover with a Home Warranty for the Holidays
By America’s Preferred Home Warranty – an eXp Solutions Trusted Provider
The Christmas season brings joy. Lights go up. Kitchens warm. Families come together. It’s a time for peace, laughter, and memory-making. But what happens when homes don’t always cooperate? Ensure your clients have a home warranty for the holidays.
The oven stops heating. The furnace quits. The dishwasher floods the kitchen. The fridge breaks down after you’ve packed it with holiday leftovers. And just when your guests arrive for a long weekend, the washer decides it’s had enough.
It feels like bad timing. But in truth, this is when systems are under the most stress.
And this is when your clients need support to handle these breakdowns the most.
That’s why America’s Preferred Home Warranty (APHW) exists. Not just to cover the cost of a breakdown, but to protect your clients’ experience and safeguard your reputation as their trusted real estate agent.
This Christmas, don’t let preventable issues turn into phone calls from unhappy buyers. Here’s what a home warranty can cover, and how APHW helps keep the holidays bright.
The Oven That Quit on Christmas Eve
The guests are on their way. The roast is prepped. The green beans are ready to go. You press preheat and wait.
Nothing happens. No light. No heat. No dinner.
Oven breakdowns are one of the most common issues during the holiday season. Cooking multiple meals back-to-back can push an aging unit past its limit. And when it fails on December 24, it’s not just an inconvenience. It’s a disaster.
With APHW, a failed oven doesn’t mean a ruined holiday. Your client files a claim. They choose a local contractor. APHW helps manage the rest.
The holiday dinner is saved. And the agent who recommended the warranty is remembered for going the extra mile.
The Furnace That Stopped Just as Guests Arrived
The home was cozy just hours ago. Then the temperature dropped and kept dropping. The furnace groans, rattles, and shuts off completely. It’s a holiday weekend. Technicians are booked. Your clients are layering up inside their own home.
In colder regions, a failed furnace is more than uncomfortable. It’s unsafe.
Repairs often cost more than $1,000. Replacements may run between $6,000 and $8,000, according to industry estimates. [source]
With APHW, your clients don’t panic. Heating systems are covered under many plans. Service is available 24/7, even on Christmas Eve. And because they can choose their own licensed contractor, they aren’t stuck waiting on availability or dealing with someone they don’t know.
The heat comes back. The family stays warm. And you don’t get a call on your day off.
The Washer That Died During the Family Visit
Between holiday linens, extra towels, and cocoa-covered sweaters, your buyer’s washer is in overdrive. Then it stops draining. The cycle won’t finish. Water is standing in the drum. Your homeowners’ children are in need of new clothes.
Replacing a washer mid-season is a financial hit many new homeowners aren’t ready for. But when they have an APHW home warranty, they don’t need to be. The washer may be covered. The fix gets scheduled. The holiday continues without a trip to the laundromat. And your name stays in good standing.
The Refrigerator That Let the Leftovers Go
After the feast, everyone goes to bed happy. Plates are cleaned. Leftovers are stacked in the fridge, ready for round two. The next morning, someone opens the door and finds everything warm. The light is off. The motor is silent. The food is ruined.
Christmas is one of the worst times to lose a refrigerator. Not only is it packed, but replacing one during the holidays can mean delays and premium prices.
APHW covers major kitchen appliances under many plans, including refrigerators. That means your clients don’t have to throw money and food away. They file a claim, get help, and keep the holiday on track.
The Dishwasher That Flooded the Kitchen During Cleanup
After a long day of cooking and celebration, your clients finally sit down to relax. They hit start on the dishwasher and hear a pop, then a rush of water. Flooded floors. A soaked kitchen. No backup plan.
Water damage during the holidays is more than frustrating. It can mean real cleanup costs and delays in insurance claims. But an APHW warranty may help cover dishwashers under its appliance protection.
So instead of spending the evening mopping up water, your clients can enjoy dessert. And thank their agent for helping them plan ahead.
The Stove That Shorted Out Mid-Meal
The stovetop is full. Pots are boiling. Pans are sizzling. Then one burner fizzles out. Then another. Then silence. Holiday overload happens fast. Circuits burn out. Burners quit.
With APHW, cooktops and ranges may be covered. Claims are simple. Service is fast. And your clients go back to cooking, not improvising.
What APHW Can Help Cover During the Holidays
Here’s a sample of what America’s Preferred Home Warranty may include during the holidays and beyond:
- Kitchen appliances: Ovens, stoves, cooktops, refrigerators, dishwashers
- Laundry appliances: Washers and dryers
- Heating systems and furnaces
- Water heaters
- Electrical and plumbing systems
- 24/7 support and claim filing
- The freedom to choose your own licensed contractor
Coverage options vary by plan. But peace of mind is part of all of them.
Why This Matters to Real Estate Agents
Every agent knows how a client feels after closing matters more than what happened before it.
If something breaks during the holidays, your client doesn’t remember the flawless negotiation or the perfectly timed close. They remember that they’re freezing. Or cleaning up a leak. Or replacing an oven two days before Christmas. And if they don’t feel supported, that frustration can land on you.
But if you’ve offered a home warranty with APHW, it’s a different story.
- Your clients call APHW, not you
- They get fast help with trusted local pros
- You protect your reputation without lifting a finger
And they remember you as someone who planned ahead.
That’s how referrals are earned. That’s how relationships are built. [source]
How to Talk About It
You don’t have to hard sell a home warranty. Just present it for what it is: a smart way to protect your clients from the things they don’t see coming.
- The holidays push systems to the edge
- Repairs and replacements are costly
- A warranty helps your client save time, money, and stress
And it helps you stay focused on building your business. It’s not just protection. It’s part of your service.
