IGS Home Warranty is an interesting option in the industry, as they don't cover any appliances at all, preferring to concentrate on utility lines, (specifically electric, gas, water, and sewer). Their Complete Home Protection plan also includes several HVAC systems, including your furnace, heat pump, boiler, air-conditioning unit, and water heater.

Claims Processing - 4.3 / 5

IGS Home Warranty usually doesn't require customers to pay service fees, though they do mention that a $75 fee may apply for emergency service, defined as one in which you have no service on the Protected Line or Protected System, and is outside of regular business hours (M-F, 8am-6pm, excluding holidays). If their in-network contractor denies your claim for any reason, but repair work is still deemed necessary, you can still request one of their contractors or choose your own.

I want to know what my coverage covers and when does it start and don't give me any rude comments.

I have been with this warranty company for 6 years. I now need a new furnace. They knew when I signed up that my furnace was over 20 years old. They knew the day was coming that I would need help with it. They are not going to do a thing. Nothing. I’m on my own.

Do not use this home warranty company. They have been impossible to work with and they deny claims. We had American Home Shield before and they were very fair. This company collects your payments and then refuses to help when there is a problem.

I worked for IGS. I purchased the home warranty. I have a 68 year old house. They did not honor the warranty when I had a plumbing issue because it had tree roots. Tree roots will be a part of every outdoor plumbing issue. If tree roots CAUSED an issue on a pipe that they had inspected but they provide no home inspection. They are courteous and they did send someone out.

Hello. I have a home warranty with you folks. I keep reading about how you don’t charge deductibles. I have paid a $100 deductible on 3 separate occasions. Why is this? I bought the best plan and coverage that you offer. Can someone reach out to me to explain this? Thank you!

I purchased IGS Home insurance program for almost last 8 years, paid monthly premiums through auto payments without any delays. Here are two very negative experiences I had recently. Hopefully, this will help you be aware of IGS program and make wise decision while selecting such home insurance programs: 1. Last year, when I needed repair with central heating furnace, they denied the claim stating the heat exchanger needed replacement and not covered under the insurance program. Heat Exchanger being the main component of the furnace but the plan does not cover. Read their contract carefully, including all fine prints, as they will show you the fine prints when try to submit a claim 2.... Read More

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE !!! had a leak & called IGS; response was all about what they do not cover; they insisted that I had to use their Plumber..1st one never showed up, when I called IGS, was advised that , "they refused to work in my area', yet I was not contacted. " Was then told that Best's Plumbing would contact me"; they did 5 days later. of course with no notification from IGS. I paid for everything myself so why I do need this "CRAPPY" coverage & absolute rudeness & inefficiency from IGS????? A REAL SHAM !!! Shame on YOU !!!
