Why Having a Home Warranty in the Winter Is the Ultimate Backup Plan

Winter in Ohio brings plenty of things we love — cozy nights in, warm meals, and the beauty of fresh snowfall. But it also brings something every homeowner dreads: the season of unexpected breakdowns.

Between freezing temperatures and overworked systems, winter can put your home’s most essential equipment to the test. That’s why having a home warranty from Advantage Home Warranty isn’t just a smart move — it’s the ultimate backup plan when the cold sets in.

❄️ When the Temperature Drops, the Pressure Rises

Your home’s systems work harder than ever during the winter months:

• Your furnace runs almost nonstop to keep your home warm.

• Your water heater works overtime to provide hot showers and laundry.

• Your plumbing is at risk of freezing or bursting.

If any of these fail, it’s not just inconvenient — it can make your home uncomfortable (or even unsafe) fast.

A repair or replacement during peak season can be expensive and hard to schedule — unless you already have a plan in place.

🔧 How Advantage Home Warranty Keeps You Covered

When a breakdown happens, you don’t have to scramble to find a reliable technician or worry about high costs. With Advantage Home Warranty, help is just a call (or click) away.

Here’s how your coverage becomes your winter safety net:

1. We connect you with trusted local technicians who are ready to help quickly — no waiting weeks for service.

2. You pay only a low $50 trade call fee (free for Elite plan holders).

3. We pay the service provider directly, so you don’t have to front the money or wait for reimbursement.

4. Your covered system or appliance gets repaired or replaced — fast.

💸 Avoid the Big Winter Repair Bills

Here’s what some of those “worst-case” winter scenarios could cost without coverage:

Breakdown	Average Repair Cost	Average Replacement Cost
Furnace Failure	$400–$1,200	$6,000–$8,000
Water Heater Breakdown	$300–$600	$1,200–$2,500
Burst Pipe	$500–$1,500	$2,000+ (if walls/floors are damaged)

With Advantage Home Warranty, those surprise expenses become manageable — or even fully covered, depending on your plan.
