How long must repairs performed under warranty last?

• A. 6 months
• B. 1 year
• C. 2 years
• D. 5 years

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that repairs done under warranty should be durable for a reasonable, minimum period so the fix truly resolves the issue. In many home warranty and contractor practices, that minimum is one year. This means if the repair fails again within 12 months, the contractor must redo it at no charge, ensuring the workmanship and materials held up. Shorter periods, like six months, are typically not seen as enough time to confirm the repair’s durability, while longer terms (two or five years) usually apply only to specific components or special contracts. So, one year is the standard baseline for how long a warranty repair should last.
