§ 04Common questions for Nevada
Are home warranties regulated in Nevada?
Service contracts in Nevada are regulated by the Nevada Division of Insurance. Providers must be registered; a service contract is not insurance and is not backed by a state guaranty fund. Cancellation and refund terms must be disclosed in the contract.
What is the typical waiting period?
Most plans impose a 30-day waiting period from the contract effective date. A few waive it for a real-estate transaction or when you transfer an existing policy, so a failure that starts before coverage begins is treated as pre-existing and excluded.
Can I buy a plan after something has already broken?
You can buy one, but you will be paying for future protection. An active failure is almost always deemed pre-existing and excluded, so the new contract will not cover the repair you are facing right now.
