What service trades are covered? Our Standard Plan typically includes coverage for: water heaters, electrical, plumbing, heating systems, kitchen appliances, etc. Optional Coverage may include air conditioning, well pump, pool/spa equipment, washer/dryer, and more. View a Current Brochure for your state to learn more.
How does the service process work? Plan Holders will contact Old Republic Home Warranty to request service. We then send you a request to contact the Plan Holder to set up a service appointment. When you arrive to the appointment, you will collect the Trade Call Fee (TCF) and diagnose the issue.

How do I update my General Liability Insurance (GLI) and/or Workers' Compensation (WC)?

We have two methods for updating your GLI and/or WC. We prefer to receive it via email directly from your insurance carrier. Many insurance carriers will send automatic updates upon GLI update or renewal. Check with your agent to confirm the options available. If your insurance carrier does not send automatic updates, you may send us a copy using one of the following methods.

  1. Preferred Method: Send a scanned copy to GLIUpdate@orhp.com. Once the update is made, you will receive an email confirmation.

  2. Alternate Method: Fax a copy to 925.866.0916. If we have an email address on file, you will receive a confirmation.

All insurance updates not sent by carrier will be verified by us upon receipt.

For GLI, Old Republic Home Warranty must be listed and maintained as Additional Insured.

To avoid delays, please look at the Service Provider Guide for detailed requirements.

Our ability to dispatch service may be impacted if timely updates are not provided.

Questions? Please call 877.579.4559.
