Our standard home warranty contract term is 1 year and renews for additional 1-year terms unless canceled. You can place your first service request 30 days after you sign up for your plan. You will not be charged until your coverage begins at the 30-day mark.

If we can’t fix your ductwork, we’ll replace it subject to your plan’s limitations and exclusions. We’ll also cover the cost to remove the defective ductwork. 

Once your coverage begins (30 days after you sign up for your new home warranty plan) you can request service 24/7 online via MyAccount or call 1-888-691-2854 during standard business hours to request service.

Our best home warranty plan is the one that’s right for you and your home. The ShieldSilver plan covers the parts and components of your must-have systems like your heating and cooling, plumbing, and electrical systems. ShieldGold covers all of the above systems plus your laundry and kitchen appliances. And with ShieldPlatinum, you get coverage for just about everything: the parts of home systems and appliances, plus premium features like roof leak repair coverage and one free HVAC Tune-up per agreement term. No two homes are the same, and that’s why we have options – so you can find the plan that fits your needs.

Most ductwork lasts between 10-25 years, but the lifespan of your air ducts varies greatly depending on when they were installed and what materials were used.
