Garage Door Opener FAQs

Yes, all three of our home warranty plans, ShieldSilver, ShieldGold, ShieldPlatinum, include coverage for garage door openers. 

All 3 of our home warranty plans include coverage for all components and parts of garage door openers. This coverage does not include garage doors and garage door track assemblies. Please see the coverage details on the page above or the plan agreement for more information on limitations and exclusions.

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 repair your garage door opener, we’ll replace it subject to the limitations and exclusions in your plan agreement and remove the defective item.

You can place your first service request 30 days after you sign up for your plan. Service requests can easily be placed 24/7 online via MyAccount or by calling 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: parts of home systems and appliances, plus premium features like roof leak repair coverage, unlimited AC refrigerant, 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. 

Our home warranty plans cover all parts and components of the electrically powered garage door opener, extension, and torsion springs. Any other part of the garage door system, including the actual garage door, track assemblies, rollers, and guides are not covered.

Your home warranty covers garage door opener issues related to normal wear and tear and everyday use. The issue will not be covered if it’s caused by damage from vandalism, pests, overloading capacity, or misuse of the opener.

Service requests can be placed online via MyAccount. Once you place your service request and pay your service fee, we’ll assign a Pro to your request. Your Pro will reach out to you within 24-48 hours to schedule your appointment. The Pro will diagnose the issue and make the covered repair per the coverage and limitations in your plan agreement.
