Home Warranty of America Finds Success in Offering a Green Home Warranty Option

 Print Article

RISMEDIA, July 3, 2009-GreenPlus was created by HWA in 2008 as an option Realtors and homeowners can add to a home warranty. It provides replacement of covered items with ENERGY STAR qualified products.

“We’re so excited GreenPlus has been positively received over the past year. At this point, selling thousands of these options has surpassed our expectations,” says Marc Roth, CEO and President of HWA.

GreenPlus covers the refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer, heating system and water heater for an additional $6.25 a month or $75 a year. When homeowners with GreenPlus encounter a covered piece of equipment that cannot be repaired, they receive an ENERGY STAR qualified replacement, which is typically a higher end model than their existing one.

“We wanted to create a product that allowed our customers to reduce their energy consumption and save money while helping the planet at the same time. We know Realtors and homeowners want innovation from us in our products and are increasingly interested in being able to choose environmentally friendlier options,” added Marc Roth.

HWA said they are looking to develop more innovative options in the near future.
