June is the unofficial kickoff to summer—the season of cookouts, family road trips, and long sunny days. 

But as many homeowners quickly discover, it’s also the season when certain systems and appliances in the home tend to act up. Between heat waves, humidity, and increased usage, your home’s systems and appliances can face some serious wear and tear.

Here are five common home repairs that often catch people off guard in June, and how a home warranty from America’s Preferred Home Warranty (APHW) can help you stay one step ahead.

1. Air Conditioning Breakdowns

As temperatures climb, your A/C works overtime, especially if it hasn’t had a recent tune-up. That’s when coils freeze, compressors fail, and thermostats stop cooperating.

Why June?

Most people don’t test their air conditioning until they need it, which is usually the first hot day of the season. If your system has been sitting idle all spring, that first blast of heat can reveal problems you didn’t know were brewing.

How APHW can help:

Our coverage options can help with unexpected breakdowns and repairs of air conditioning units that are caused by normal wear and tear.

Some of the repairs that we may assist with include motors, thermostats, fuses, breakers, wiring, and more.

2. Refrigerator Failures

Summer means cold drinks, popsicles, and packed fridges full of cookout leftovers. And just when you’re relying on it most, the fridge can start to lose its chill.

Why June?

Warm weather and frequent door opening (i.e. because kids are home for the summer) make the compressor and cooling system work harder than usual. Older units are especially vulnerable.

How APHW helps:

Many of our plans cover major kitchen appliances, including refrigerators. If your fridge suddenly fails, we may be able to help minimize the disruption and possibly save your groceries in the process.

3. Plumbing Surprises

With more people at home—kids on summer break, houseguests for the Fourth—plumbing systems are under added pressure. Clogged drains, running toilets, and leaky pipes are common calls in June.

 

 

Why June?

Increased water usage strains your plumbing. Combined with tree root growth in warmer months, this makes June a prime time for sudden backups or burst lines.

How APHW helps:

We give you the freedom to choose your own licensed contractor for approved repairs, meaning that you do not have to wait. After you have decided on your contractor, the next step is to start our easy claims process.

4. Garage Door Opener Failures

An underrated summer convenience is the ability to open your garage door from inside your air-conditioned vehicle. However, sudden malfunctions are more common than you might think.

Why June?

High humidity and expanding metal components can disrupt sensors or burn out aging motors. This is especially true for systems more than 7–10 years old.

How APHW helps:

If your garage door opener is covered in your plan, APHW can help when you are stuck outside—or worse, when you are locked in!

5. Washer & Dryer Issues

Your washer and dryer go through a lot in June, whether that is washing beach towels, muddy gardening clothes, or post-pool laundry. This can be mean snapped belts, blown fuses, and even water draining issues.

Why June?

Laundry frequency increases, and many homeowners ignore small signs of trouble until the appliance stops altogether.

How APHW helps:

Covered laundry appliances can be resolved quickly, saving you from a trip to the laundromat, and giving you more time to enjoy summer months.

Don’t Let Summer Surprises Spoil Your Plans

June is meant to be enjoyed, not spent calling repair companies or wondering how you’ll cover unexpected costs. A home warranty through America’s Preferred Home Warranty can help protect your budget and your peace of mind.

When something breaks down, you choose your own licensed contractor, someone you trust, on your schedule. We’re here to back you up, not slow you down.
