Liberty Home Guard offers coverage that is wide-ranging and reasonably priced. The flexibility of its policies' terms, its network of certified experts and service providers, and consumers' access to claims filing 24/7 further improve the company's marks with us. Liberty Home Guard's strong coverage, prices, and services make a good argument for retaining the company as an extended service contract provider. Overall, we can recommend the company for any consumer seeking affordable home warranty alternatives. Liberty Home Guard has higher allowance amounts than the average home warranty company and sources their replacement units at a wholesale rate. They also provide customers with an exceptional repair or replace program, in which the company agrees to pay for the replacement of an appliance or system that is deemed irreparable by the contractor. What's more, it is Liberty's policy to always provide customers with the option to have an item replaced, even if it is repairable. LHG partners with many firms such as restoration firms, rekey services, pest control services, and carpet and floor cleaning companies.

LHG recently launched a customer portal on their website to allow customers to conveniently manage their home warranty accounts from anywhere at any time.

Currently, Liberty offers services in 46 states, including Washington, D.C. Customers only need to input their zip code into Liberty's website, and it will automatically tell them if they are living in a covered area.

Contract & Price - 4.5 / 5

Liberty Home Guard sells month-to-month, annual, and multi-year home warranty policies. Plans start at less than $1 per day—and depending on the current promotion, costs can be even lower. Liberty Home Guard’s service call fees range anywhere from $60 to $125, depending on the type of plan. The company offers discounts for its multi-year policies, providing the greatest value to consumers. Consumers interested in getting a sample quote or applying for a policy can do so on the company's website. Liberty Home Guard does not require consumers to have a home inspection in order to finalize contracts. Contracts canceled within the first 30-days of the policy are eligible for a full refund. Should a consumer require optional add-ons, LHG will send the consumer a customized contract that includes optional add-on language, and the consumer has 30 days to review that language at no cost as well. In other words, all customers are entitled to a full money-back guarantee during that 30-day period.

If canceled between day 31 and day 60 of the policy, the company will refund the full Agreement Cost, minus a $50 cancellation fee and the cost of any claims paid. If canceled after the first 30 days from the effective date of the policy, the company will refund a prorated refund of the Agreement Cost based on the number of months remaining on the term of the agreement, minus the same cancellation fee of $50 and the cost of any claims paid.

Reputation - 4.5 / 5

Liberty Home Guard stands out for being the BBB's only A+ accredited home warranty company, which speaks volumes about their customer satisfaction and overall company reputation.

Although Liberty Home Guard is not an NHSCA member, the company is currently in the process of acquiring its membership with the association. The company is fully licensed, and pays service providers for same-day diagnoses, ensuring customers receive the fastest response times and high levels of service.

The company earns 4.3 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot, which is pretty impressive. Home warranty companies don't often fare that well on consumer review sites. Liberty Home Guard recently debuted a new survey model which sources and analyzes feedback related to customers’ experiences with the company since they first sign up. The new model also asks for feedback from its’ network of independent technicians, to fully analyze the service process from all sides. This shows the company's continued focus on customer satisfaction. Read more about home warranty companies at our Top 10 Page.

When my washer started acting weird, I reached out to my appliance warranty provider. Teresa from customer service was top-notch, directing a clothes washer repair tech my way. Works like a charm now!

I can't recommend Liberty enough! Their service providers are knowledgeable and efficient. When my dishwasher broke down, they had it fixed in no time. The service contract has truly been worth it!

Last week, we had a plumbing issue, and Liberty quickly arranged for a plumber to come out. He arrived on time and fixed everything in just one visit. The service was smooth, and we’re pleased with the results. We’ll update this review if anything changes in the future.

The way they managed my air duct repair exceeded my expectations. The system is working perfectly, and they covered the entire job. I also truly appreciated John’s follow-up after the claim was closed to ensure I was satisfied. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their customers.

This is the top home warranty company I’ve dealt with. After trying many other companies, none compare to this one. I’m thrilled to have found such a great service provider. Thanks for the fantastic support!

Saul was a fantastic dispatcher who picked up the phone right away. No need to press multiple buttons to get through. He answered all my questions and made sure I got email confirmation before hanging up. It was great talking to him!

I have had two issues with Liberty Home Guard over the last 3 months. Both my HVAC and my refrigerator went out. Liberty Home Guard had fine print on both to deny the claim, but in both cases, because I am a "valued customer" agreed to give me a small amount towards their replacement. In the case of the HVAC, it amounted to only 10% of the cost, and in the case of the refrigerator, only 20%.

I contacted Liberty Home Guard for help with my HVAC air filters. Even though I didn’t have the maintenance package, they went above and beyond by managing the project. They found a service provider and secured a great rate. I’m truly grateful for LHG coming through!

When our dishwasher broke down, Liberty Home Guard had a repair person at our home within 48 hours. The issue was diagnosed and fixed within a few hours, and everything was cleaned up before they left. I’m thrilled with the service and the fast turnaround. A huge thanks to Alex for helping me with the claim!

Grace at Liberty Home Guard was wonderful. My central vacuum broke down, and she had a repair person come to my house within 24 hours. The repair was completed in under an hour. I've had their coverage for 4 years now, and their home warranty has always been amazing.

UPDATE: Tried to buy my opinion by offering an “elevated” refund if I signed a release that would prevent me from writing the truth about my experiences. I didn’t agree. Would give a negative rating if the system allowed it. Totally dissatisfied with the “service” by Liberty Home Guard (LHG). They’re very good at hard sell, trying to convince you how they’re better than the competition. They even have an excuse why they’re not accredited with the Better Business Bureau, saying their ownership has changed and systems have been updated, and they’re now a much-improved company. I should’ve detected the BS right there, but the salesperson Alan S was a smooth talker. Do read their BBB... Read More

Used an unlicensed HVAC tech to perform partial installation, then paid tech for non completed work, then asked me to pay an additional $1700 to finalize an installation that was never finished, but was paid for. Paid $6289 in February, it's now June 4 and Liberty has taken zero action to correct this. Caveat emptor folks. Liberty will absolutely not take responsibility for their mistakes. They paid a vendor for work that was never marked complete, then expect me to pay the same installation fee again to fix the installation performed by a liberty provided tech who didn't have an HVAC license in my state per the HVAC board. By all means contact me I'll be more than happy to share the... Read More

Expect your urgent emergency claims to be treated with the lowest priority and your calls/emails to be ignored. Don&#x27;t believe the sales reps when they assure you prompt assignments with in 24-48 hours we have never had a claim resolved in less than 14 days, in some cases they take over a month to get someone assigned. During that time you&#x27;ll be repeatedly told someone will get back to you same day, they never will.

Another great year using Liberty Home Guard’s service. Thank you to George for helping me get set up with my fifth renewal! They did an outstanding job with our HVAC claim this year.

Best service. Their reps are all easy to understand with strong communication skills. The total home guard plan I purchased with them has saved me thousands. I’ve never had a claim they didn’t save me time and money on.
