| Waiting period and exclusions | ★★★☆☆ 3.0 | The sample’s account summary shows a 30-day holding period, and it excludes pre-existing conditions (H.3). |
| Disputes | ★★★☆☆ 3.0 | Binding AAA arbitration and a class-action waiver (K.6, K.7). |
| Cancellation | ★★★★☆ 3.5 | Cancel at any time; full refund in 30 days minus $50 and paid claims (J.1). Auto-renews unless you give 60 days notice (I.1). |
| BBB profile | ★★★☆☆ 2.5 | Not Rated (D+ when first checked), not accredited, with a BBB pattern-of-complaints alert. |
Total: 3.1 out of 5 (average 3.08, shown rounded).
What Liberty Home Guard Covers
The published sample is the Total Home Guard plan: systems and appliances under one agreement, with optional add-ons. Liberty also sells an HVAC-only plan called HVAC Guard. The company site lists it at $29.99 a month but there is no separate HVAC Guard contract, only the same sample.
| Item | What the sample contract says |
|---|---|
| Per-item limit | Up to $2,000 per item (H.10) |
| Plumbing and electrical | Covered with their own limits (D.4, D.5); water heater has its own section (D.6) |
| Add-ons | Items in D.4, D.5 and the optional items in G carry a $500 limit on annual and monthly agreements ($250 within the first 100 days); $750 and $375 on multi-year agreements (H.10) |
| Labor and haul-away | Capped at $150 a year ($450 on multi-year agreements) |
| Refrigerant | The company pays $20 per pound |
| Sump pump | Add-on, ground water only |
| Roof | Leak patching only |
| Overall maximum per contract | ✗ Not stated in the sample |
Waiting Period and Pre-Existing Conditions
The sample shows a 30-day waiting period and excludes pre-existing conditions (H.3). The company says its HVAC Guard plan has no waiting period and covers pre-existing conditions. That claim appears on its plan page, not in the sample contract, so treat it as marketing until you see it in your own agreement. For how these rules work across companies, see our guides to the home warranty waiting period and pre-existing conditions.
Service Fee: Not Published
The sample contract shows the claim fee as a placeholder ($XX.XX). The company site calls it a flat-rate service call fee but gives no amount. Ask for it in writing before you buy.
How Liberty Claims Work
- Contact the company to open a claim under your agreement.
- Under normal circumstances, service is initiated within 48 hours after the request is received (C.3).
- The company may authorize you to hire an independent contractor for a diagnosis; it then reimburses up to $250 of your costs (C.4). It does not reimburse work you start without its approval.
- Payment is capped at the item’s book value, meaning its fair market value at the time of the claim (H.10).
If a claim is denied, read what to do after a denied claim.
Arbitration
Disputes go to binding arbitration with the AAA, and you waive class actions (K.6, K.7).
Cancellation and Renewal
- You may cancel at any time (J.1).
- Within 30 days: full refund minus $50 and any paid claims.
- After 30 days: pro-rata refund minus $50.
- Renewal: the agreement renews automatically unless you give 60 days notice (I.1).

Where Liberty Is Available
The company has a page for each of the 50 states and Washington, D.C. HVAC Guard is not available in Alaska or Hawaii. Liberty publishes one national sample contract and no state-specific agreements, so we cannot tell you how your state changes the terms.
Liberty Home Guard BBB Rating and Complaints
The BBB shows Liberty Home Guard as Not Rated and it is not accredited. It showed D+ when we first checked. The profile carries a pattern-of-complaints alert. On November 12, 2026 the BBB listed 1,113 complaints in the last 3 years and 244 in the last 12 months, and 1,412 customer reviews averaging 4.17 out of 5. Liberty began operating in 2017 and the BBB profile opened in December 2018 (Brooklyn, NY). Checked November 12, 2026. The complaint pattern and the lack of accreditation are the main reasons for our score.
