About Chris
One person who explains home warranty plans in plain words, so a broken furnace or washer does not leave you guessing.
Why I started
I Wanted Plan Talk to Sound Like a Neighbor
Most people only read a home warranty plan once something has already stopped working. By then the water is on the floor, the house is cold, and the fine print feels like a puzzle. I set up HomeByChris to make that moment easier.
My work is simple. I look at how plans usually treat the systems and appliances in a home, I point out the parts people tend to miss, and I explain how a service request normally moves once you send it.
I will never tell you a plan pays for something it does not list. Your own agreement always has the final word.
How I work
Three Things I Hold On To
Plain Words First
If a term needs a dictionary, I swap it for words you would use at the kitchen table. Clear beats clever every time.
Both Sides of the Page
I show what a plan tends to include and what it tends to leave out, side by side, so nothing catches you off guard later.
Your Home, Your Pick
I do not push you toward any plan. I give you the questions worth asking and let you decide what fits your house.

Who I help
Homeowners Facing a Breakdown or a Choice
First Time Buyers
New keys, older appliances. I help you learn what a plan might handle before the first surprise repair.
Long Time Owners
When the furnace and water heater have seen many winters, I help you weigh what a plan could take on.
Busy Households
A full laundry basket and a dead dryer do not mix. I keep the steps short so you can get help moving.
Landlords and Sellers
If a home changes hands or has tenants, I explain how plans usually treat those situations.
Small habits
Routines That Keep a Request Smooth
Keep Model Labels Handy
Snap a photo of the label on each major appliance. It saves time when a technician asks what you own.
Note Your Upkeep
Jot down filter swaps and yearly checks. A simple record shows the item was cared for between repairs.
Report Trouble Early
A strange rattle today can become a bigger failure next month. Speaking up early often keeps things simple.
