National Home Warranty Day

Celebrated on 02/10/2026

Quick Fact

National Home Warranty Day is observed on February 10th each year. It was created by the home warranty industry to raise awareness about the benefits of home warranties in covering costly repairs and replacements of major home systems and appliances.

Origins and Establishment of National Home Warranty Day

National Home Warranty Day was established in 2013 by the Home Warranty Association (now part of the National Home Service Contract Association) to educate homeowners and real estate professionals about the value of home warranties. The date February 10th was chosen to coincide with the peak home-buying season, as many real estate transactions close in spring.

Evolution and Modern Commemoration

Since its inception, National Home Warranty Day has grown from a niche industry event to a nationally recognized day. It is now celebrated by home warranty companies, real estate agents, and home inspectors through social media campaigns, educational webinars, and special promotions. Many companies offer discounts or free inspections on this day to encourage homeowners to consider warranty coverage.
