OwnWise

Our Mission

We’re on a mission to save everyday families and small businesses time and money — one repair at a time.

The problem we’re solving

Repair costs have outpaced inflation by 3x from 2014 to 2024. On top of that, the reimbursement process is full of obstacles and poor customer experiences that eat up valuable time.

Why it matters

Discarded home appliances piled in a landfill

Good for the planet

Fixing and maintaining what you own keeps appliances out of landfills — less e-waste, less embodied carbon, less money spent replacing things that could be repaired.

Appliance owner manuals where warranty and coverage details are found

Save money on coverage you already have

Most homeowners are sitting on unused manufacturer, credit-card, and retailer warranties. OwnWise finds the coverage you already paid for — before you pay out of pocket.

Maintain the resale value of your biggest assets

Well-maintained, repaired appliances hold real resale value. Keeping them running protects the residual value of some of the most expensive things you own.
