FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Since 1971 we have provided comprehensive home warranty plans for American consumers, being the first of the many home warranty companies that have imitated us ever since. Our promise is simple: the peace of mind and convenience that homeowners expect the market leader. A fixed service fee, a single number to call when things go wrong, expert customer service representatives, a comprehensive yearly service contract, and a reasonable home warranty cost.

Both ends of a real estate transaction can benefit from being home warranty customers: for the seller, a home warranty can increase the confidence of prospective buyers and increase the price of the property or make the sale easier. For the buyer, it ensures that the repair or replacement of appliances and potentially expensive repairs of home systems are covered by a service provider.

We use licensed, independent, trusted Pros from our nationwide network, and they're regularly evaluated by customers like you to make sure they're meeting our standards and providing excellent service.

The ShieldSilver™ plan is for homeowners who want to cover the must-haves like heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing, and electrical systems. The ShieldGold™ plan is perfect for anyone who wants to live life with less interruptions, especially in the laundry room and kitchen, with coverage for the main systems and appliances you use every day. And with the ShieldPlatinum™ plan, you get coverage for just about everything: key components of 23 major home systems and appliances, plus premium features like Roof Leak Repair Coverage, double the coverage amount for appliances, and a free HVAC Tune-up. No two homes are the same, and that’s why we have options – so you can find the plan that works for you.  

 

For home buyers and existing homeowners, coverage begins 30 days after you purchase your new home warranty plan. There is no waiting period for seller coverage. 

You can request service 24/7, either online or by calling 1-888-691-2854.
