Final Thoughts – Fidelity National Home Warranty

Fidelity National Home Warranty provides solid coverage for almost all essential home systems and appliances a homeowner needs. This could be said even for their basic coverage plan. The basic plan does come short in terms of major items such as refrigerators and clothes washers/ dryers. These are only available as optional items.
