I would suggest you read the SECO warranty. The "exclusion" section is very interesting. I read it at least 4 times, and could not identify anything in my house that would be covered by the warranty. It does not cover lightning damage. Also, it does not cover electronics (TVs, computers, etc.), or anything that has a microprocessor or a microchip. I think every appliance in my house has some type of microchip, including my microwave, stove, oven, dishwasher, washer and dryer. It doesn't cover anything with a motor. It does not even cover electrical outlets or switches or security systems. I think they hired a team of lawyers to write a warranty where they can deny coverage for everything in your house. LOL.
