Coverage

Cinch covers quite an extensive list of household appliances and systems, as well as offering coverage for unknown pre-existing conditions. Coverage is included for damage done by rust and corrosion, which is excluded from many home warranty plans. You can choose from 3 plans (described below) that cover either appliances, built-in systems, or the more comprehensive complete home plan.

The plans do limit coverage to up to 2 units per appliance (anything on the appliance plan), while systems such as air-conditioning, heating, and water heater systems are also limited to up to 2 units.

The appliance cap is $2,000. There is also a systems cap, but it depends on the age of the system. The max payout for any contract term is $10,000. The heating/air conditioning system cap is $1,500. Freestanding freezers, multi-media centers built into appliances, and wine chillers and consumables are not covered.

What Appliances and Systems Does Cinch Cover?

In addition to covering all of the usual systems and major appliances within the coverage plans, Cinch's sample contract lists optional coverage add-ons such as a swimming pool and/or spa combination, septic system, well pump, and a premier upgrade package.
