About National Home Warranty Day

National Home Warranty Day is observed on February 10 as a private U.S. home-warranty industry observance created by 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty in 2016.

The date is also known as 2-10 Day and is used by the creator to discuss builder warranties and home service plans, while actual coverage depends on the specific contract, property, provider and applicable law.

Why National Home Warranty Day matters

The observance is an opportunity to understand what a home warranty or builder warranty does and does not cover, and to review the documents that govern a particular plan.

It is not a government guarantee of repair costs or coverage. Home warranties, manufacturer warranties, homeowners insurance, builder obligations and statutory protections can differ, so the controlling terms should be checked directly.

History of National Home Warranty Day

2-10 Home Buyers Warranty created National Home Warranty Day in 2016 and National Day Calendar records the first annual observance on February 10, 2016.

Current 2-10 material credits company employee Tahlia Hersch with founding National Home Warranty Day in 2016.

The creator continues to celebrate the date as 2-10 Day, a play on the 2-10 company name and the February 10 calendar date.

A 2018 creator-issued release described the day as an annual February 10 observance and said 2-10 had founded it several years earlier.

The day remains a private industry observance rather than a statutory public holiday or a universal warranty entitlement.

How to Observe National Home Warranty Day

01

Locate your current warranty, service-plan, builder-warranty and homeowners-insurance documents and note which company administers each one.

02

Read current definitions, exclusions, limits, service-fee provisions, waiting periods and claim procedures before assuming a repair is covered.

03

Keep receipts, model numbers, maintenance records and claim correspondence together so they are easier to find if a covered problem occurs.

04

If comparing plans, use current written terms and prices rather than assuming that one provider, plan or advertised saving applies to every home.

05

For a disputed or high-value issue, use the provider’s formal process and seek qualified legal, financial, insurance or construction advice when appropriate to your situation.
