A washing machine begins to shake so hard during its spin cycle that it nearly shakes the house. The day before a big holiday feast, the refrigerator starts to leak. Or the day before the first winter storm, the heating system starts to make the strangest sounds. No, these appliances or home systems aren’t haunted, so you don’t need to call Ghostbusters.

But if something strange is going on with a major appliance, who are your clients going to call? If they don’t have home warranty coverage, they are likely to be scrambling to find someone.

A national labor shortage is impacting nearly every service sector, including appliance repair. The pandemic also has affected the supply chain and could delay a repair if a needed part isn’t readily available.

Moreover, the demand for appliance repair has been increasing, experts say, because the number of people working from home has increased the use of major home appliances, such as dishwashers and refrigerators.

Even newer appliances can break, and that can be scary. Consumer Reports predicts that one in four refrigerators and nearly one in three dishwashers will develop problems within the first five years.

Making sure your clients have a Cinch home warranty eliminates the need to call around to find someone who is both qualified and available. While some home warranty firms rely on the homeowner to research and arrange a repair service, Cinch does the heavy lifting for your clients.

One call or an online request from your client, and Cinch will do the rest. Cinch has access to thousands of pre-screened licensed service professionals ready to help your clients.

The claims process is easy when your clients’ homes are covered by Cinch, with online claims access 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

It doesn't have to be scary when a breakdown occurs. And once it’s fixed, your clients shouldn’t have to worry about the same issue reoccurring if they have a Cinch home warranty. With an industry-leading 180-day guarantee on repairs, Cinch delivers extra peace of mind.

The unknown costs of repair – or replacement – can be frightening, especially for first-time buyers and homeowners on a tight budget. However, a home warranty delivers a massive benefit, covering major appliances for everyday wear and tear.
