“Denied Coverage? The Real Cost of Skipping Home Maintenance”

Welcome to the Queen’s Corner! I’m Kimberly Smith, your Real Estate Queen of Las Vegas, here with the no-nonsense truth about why maintaining your home appliances—especially your air conditioner—is no longer optional. It’s essential.

The Cold Truth About Your AC & Home Warranty

Home warranty companies are cracking down. Many now refuse to cover air conditioning units and major appliances if there’s no documented maintenance history. And in Las Vegas heat, that’s a risk you can’t afford to take.

What Does “Maintenance History” Mean?

Just like your car needs regular oil changes, your home systems require scheduled tune-ups. That includes:

• Annual AC servicing

• Changing filters every few months

• Flushing water heaters

• Cleaning out dryer vents

• Keeping detailed service records or receipts

Without proof, your claim can—and likely will—be denied.

A Costly Mistake You Can Avoid

Imagine your AC breaking down in triple-digit temperatures. You call your home warranty provider, but they won’t cover it because there’s no record of past maintenance. Now you’re looking at thousands out of pocket—and zero backup.

The Queen’s 5-Star Approach to Home Protection:

• Quality: Partner with reliable professionals

• Understanding: Know your coverage terms

• Excellence: Keep systems running like new

• Efficiency: Prevent emergencies before they happen

• No-Nonsense: Protect your home, your money, and your peace of mind

  
  

The Bottom Line

Your home is your castle—but even castles need care. Regular maintenance isn't just about comfort—it's about protection, value, and keeping your warranty intact.
