Home Depot teams with Allstate

Atlanta-based Home Depot announced a partnership with Allstate to create a new extended protection plan to provide customers benefits and faster repair service. The new program covers major appliances, outdoor power equipment, grills, power tools, home electronics, and other products bought in store or online.

Products covered by The Home Depot Protection Plan by Allstate will have best-in-class benefits including:

• Speed of service guarantee – customers are guaranteed a service appointment within three days or less, nationwide
• Shorter appointment windows – customers choose from two-to-four hour service appointment windows, half the time offered by other plans
• Advanced troubleshooting – Allstate customer service is able to fix up to 25% of problems over the phone. If the problem isn't fixed, the agent will identify the parts needed for a repair, schedule a technician and overnight the necessary parts
• Trusted professionals – all repairs are completed on by an Allstate-certified technician, with many being completed on the first visit
• Industry-leading "No Lemon" policy – appliances or products will be replaced or refunded if three service repairs are needed for the same issue

"We want customers to be confident in their Home Depot purchase and know that if something goes wrong, we'll make it right," said Scott Anderson, vice president of financial services and payments at The Home Depot. "Our customers don't have time to wait for lengthy repairs or resolutions, and we're proud to work with Allstate to offer best-in-class protection plans and service that put our customers first."
