Key findings
Standalone, citable statements from the listed-issuer extract. Free to reuse with attribution to PlainWarranty.
- 19 national home-warranty issuers are in this PlainWarranty extract. Every Key Finding below is recomputed from that table on each request, not typed in by hand.
- 7 of 19 listed issuers currently carry an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. 9 of 19 are BBB-accredited. 17 of 19 have a letter rating other than NR.
- 10 to 96 is the Reliability Score range in this extract (median 63, mean 63.8). HomeServe sits at 96. The score blends BBB letter rating, BBB review average, and Trustpilot TrustScore; it is not a recommendation to buy.
- 1971 is the founding year of the oldest listed issuer (American Home Shield). Founding year is a registry field, not a quality grade.
- 12,488 BBB complaints closed in the last 12 months are recorded across the 19 listed issuers (43,838 over three years). Raw complaint volume tracks company size. American Home Shield accounts for 37% of the 12-month total (4,612 complaints), so the count is not a quality ranking.
- 8 of 51 jurisdictions in this extract regulate home warranties as "yes." 34 are labeled partial and 9 are labeled no. The three-way split is the state table, not a folded unregulated bucket.
- 9 of 14 coverage types are listed by every issuer in the extract. Pool & Spa Equipment is listed by 0 of 19; Septic System is listed by 1 of 19. Coverage here means the plan matrix records an offering, not that a given claim would be paid.
- 5 states list all 19 issuers as available. Alaska lists 3. Availability is the extract's state-inventory field, not a licensed-to-sell census for every carrier.

How to read these numbers
BBB ratings, Trustpilot scores, complaint counts, and state regulation labels are separate public records. PlainWarranty joins them for the 19 issuers in this extract so a reader can see the mix; it does not produce a "best warranty" verdict or a claim-approval prediction. Complaint volume scales with how many customers a company has. Download the CSV or read the methodology.
Every figure on PlainWarranty is rendered directly from BBB, Trustpilot, and state regulatory data, no number is typed in by an editor. This page's Key Findings are SQL aggregates over the companies, states, and coverage_types tables.
