A per-visit fee is the fixed amount charged each time a repair pro comes out under a home warranty or repair plan, separate from the monthly or yearly price. Home warranty companies often call it a service call fee. Because it applies to every visit, it shapes the real cost of using a plan.
Why it matters to you
The MyHappyHome™ per-visit fee is $0, compared with $100–125 per service call at a typical home warranty. A household with several repairs in one year feels that difference on every visit.
Practical guidance
Multiply any plan's fee per visit by the number of repairs you would expect in a bad year, then add the yearly price. That total is a fairer comparison than the monthly price alone.
Fee each time a pro comes out
| MyHappyHome™ membership | Typical home warranty | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee per visit | $0 per visit | $100–125 per service call |
| Coverage limits | Stated up front | Set per contract and per item |
| Something already broken when you join | Not covered | Generally not covered |
What is the MyHappyHome™ per-visit fee?
MyHappyHome™ members pay $0 per visit, after the 30-day waiting period. Covered repair costs are paid direct to the installer, up to the plan's stated limits.
How is a per-visit fee different from the monthly price?
The monthly or yearly price keeps the plan active whether or not anything breaks. The per-visit fee is charged only when a pro comes out, so it grows with the number of repairs in a year.
What should you compare besides the per-visit fee?
Look at the coverage limits, the waiting period, and what is not covered. MyHappyHome™ states its limits up front: $3,000 for HVAC repairs and your plan's coverage limit for other covered systems and appliances.
