Why Do I Need a Warranty if This Is a Good Product?

July 29, 2025     Posted in Service

We ask every customer if they’d like to purchase an extended warranty on their appliance. It’s not because we don’t believe in the product—we do. But we also live in the real world, where things are made by humans, and life happens.

Think of a warranty like “the umbrella theory.” If there’s a chance of rain, and you bring an umbrella, you probably won’t need it. But if you leave it at home, chances are you’ll wish you hadn’t. Warranties work the same way. Ideally, you never use it—and that can feel like wasted money. But the moment your manufacturer’s warranty expires and you’re facing a costly repair, you’ll wish you had the coverage. In most cases, even a single service call costs more than the price of the warranty.

The days of appliances lasting 30–40 years are over. The average life expectancy of today’s appliances is 7–10 years, and repair costs—both parts and labor—are rising nationwide. A warranty gives you peace of mind, knowing that for the next 3–5 years (depending on the plan), you won’t pay a dime out of pocket for covered repairs.

Much like a car, even the best appliances may need a service call or two during their lifetime. That doesn’t mean they’re poorly made—it’s just the nature of modern machinery. And if a major repair is ever needed, having a warranty means you’ve already made the smartest investment you could.

Bottom line? A warranty isn’t about doubting the product. It’s about protecting your investment—and yourself—from life’s inevitable surprises.
