Why does the Sears Protect plan have a 30 day waiting period?
It's common for Home Warranty plans to have an initial 30 day waiting period from your initial purchase date.
One of the unique benefits of the Sears Protect plan is being entitled to a 25% discount on appliance and HVAC repairs (service performed by Sears) in the event something goes wrong during the initial 30 days.
The 30-day waiting period also helps prevent homeowners from buying a warranty only after a problem arises. This ensures that customers don't exploit the system by seeking coverage for pre-existing conditions or known problems – helping to reasonably control the cost of your Sears Protect plan.
