Reviews in Kansas for Choice Home Warranty are good, and reviewers frequently mention being happy with the technicians the company sent out.

Gregory from Overland Park wrote, “The tech was great and took care of our problem. He told us what the procedure was and the timeline for us to have a repaired oven.

Select Home Warranty has solid reviews in Kansas, and several of them mention an interesting feature. Multiple reviews from Kansans refer to getting discounts for multiyear plans, despite the company not offering this option in its online quote tool. These savings may not be available in your area or at the time you’re buying, but they’re worth asking about if you’re willing to make a long-term commitment.

“Above all the best option for us which included the 6 year package, one year free and a locked in price thereafter,” wrote Karen from Perry. “We received 5 years with one-year free, a senior discount and a lock in for life yearly rate. Who could ask for anything more... Then came the FREE roof leak coverage for life too!”

David from Hutchinson had similar sentiments: “I found the sign up to be both informative and well explained by my contact. Options and price were very good and more than competitive. I would recommend anyone looking for a home warranty to strongly consider and compare. I was surprised with the coverage and the annual cost of multi year coverage.”

HomeServe takes a somewhat unique approach to the home warranty market. With HomeServe, you can choose from a wide variety of plans to find a specific solution for your needs.

HomeServe reviews from Kansas residents are generally positive, and customers mention a high level of satisfaction with the company’s customer service and repairs.

America’s 1st Choice Home Club offers four warranty plans that cover up to 24 of your home’s appliances and systems. These plans also include added benefits like credit monitoring and discounts on other items, too.

We’ve compared this company’s plans based on select coverage items below. Keep in mind, the costs listed below are based on a quote for a one-year contract with a 12-month payment plan. A three-year contract would have higher monthly costs, but that’s because its payment term is only for 20 months of the 36 you’re covered for.

AFC has pretty good reviews in Kansas, and reviewers often mention how fast the company sends out technicians.

Tandie from Wichita wrote that she “had a plumber out within a day of sending in my request. The plumber called and was able to get me in the same day and worked with my schedule. He was polite and got the issue handled quickly.”

Another Wichita resident, Andrew, wrote, “Submitted request online. Contractor details given next day. Contractor exceptional, fixed the problem by anticipating the part. Within a few days. Courtesy call form AFC a few days later. Smooth, Efficient. Professional.”

Kansas experiences a variety of weather throughout the year. While homeowners insurance will cover the costs associated with common Midwest weather concerns, like tornadoes, it won’t cover everything.

Kansas’ ever-changing weather can strain your home’s climate control systems, which work hard to keep up. When they stop working due to wear and tear, home insurance won’t pay any of the costs. A home warranty, though, can help cover the cost of repairing or replacing these systems.

Whether you live in Wichita or Bonner Springs, it’s important that your Kansas home warranty policy covers a wide variety of appliances and components, including heating systems, cooling systems and plumbing, to make sure you’re covered throughout the year. If you can’t afford to lose a given system or appliance, you probably want to make sure it’s covered by your home warranty.

In most states, it’s pretty easy to find out who regulates the home warranty industry and to what extent. Kansas is a different story.

While the industry has technically been regulated since at least 2005, this law only excludes home warranties and other service contracts from insurance regulations. Specific standards for home warranties, like cancellation rules and required disclosures, are hard to come by.

We also couldn’t find any specific information regarding what government entity regulates this industry. We reached out to the Kansas attorney general’s office, but we haven’t heard back at the time of publishing.

This lack of clarity doesn’t speak to strong regulatory oversight in Kansas (outside of the general Consumer Protection Act), so you probably want to be extra careful that you’re doing business with a legitimate home warranty provider when shopping in Kansas. Read reviews, compare quotes and do your research before signing a contract.

The regulations surrounding home warranties in Kansas are pretty limited, so it’s important that you do as much research beforehand as possible to protect your home and your investment.
