    Our home is 13 years old and I was beginning to be concerned that we could be in a situation were we'd have a large unplanned out of pocket expense. I did lots of research, read lots of reviews, and after speaking with Joshua on several occasions, I decided to go with Liberty Home Guard. At no time did Joshua try to do a hard close on me. He respected the fact that I wasn't going to buy in our first or second conversation.

    Absolutely horrible company, please do not use them! We recently got a plan and needed an issue with our AC fixed, 2 months later nothing has been done. They sent tech after tech to our house but kept denying the service as the tech's quote was “too high”. They needed to do a diagnostic so the tech would come out for the first time to assess the issue, then they said they’d need to do further inspection of the ducts but before that, Liberty would have to approve the work.

    Well Liberty kept denying each request. We spoke to supervisors over this issue and they were completely unhelpful. We ended up just paying out of pocket to get our AC fixed and are currently trying to get a refund because they’ve done no work after paying them $2,000. I strongly suggest you never use this company, save yourself the money and headache.

    I signed up for Liberty Home guard after having issues with American Home Shield. I looked up major home warranty companies and lhg was usually at the top of the list. I am still in the period before my home warranty activates so I can't comment on the actual services provided. The sales rep was knowledgeable and kind and courteous. He was able to find additional discounts for me which was much appreciated. I will update my review when and if I utilize the service.

    I would give them 1/2 to no star if I could. If you are evenly remotely considering them for your home warranty needs run as fast as you can. I have dealt with numerous home warranty companies over the years but have never had such poor service. I filed a claim on 6/20/24 for an air conditioning unit that had quit working which was covered by the plan. I was advised they had no technicians available but if I got my own they would reimburse me after the technician sent in a diagnosis. He came immediately and said the blower motor went out and I submitted his diagnosis.

    After a few days I was advised it had to be a more detailed diagnosis. After a detailed explanation of the process he went through to diagnose the problem was sent I was advised on June 24 they could not authorize the repair because the diagnosis had to be submitted on company letterhead with the company logo, etc. No mention of this was made previously. On 7/3 they informed me what I sent was still not sufficient. They now needed a picture of the data tag on the unit. That was not mentioned previously either. I was then advised it should be approved in 1-2 business days. Repairs were approved but on July 12 they informed me that in order to reimburse me they needed a copy of the invoice saying it was paid in full. Then then informed me they needed a picture of the unit.

    After repeatedly asking if that was all they needed I was told yes. But then when I called to check on the status the next day I was told they needed a picture of the cancelled check. And to top it all off they tell me I would only be reimbursed for the part not the labor. I was not informed of this when I signed up and no other company has ever done this. I had to go without air conditioning in record breaking Texas heat from June 20 to July 12 when the technician could have fixed it the day the motor went out.

    RIP OFF - DO NOT USE! They charged me $60 Per month, which I paid per the agreement, then I submitted two claims with a cost of $75 each and they did not resolve either. With the first one they sent a tech from two hours away and then when he advised what needed to be done they told me I needed to pay the labor, which was $200, which was high because he was driving from two hours away and that was not my choice. Moreover, the broken part cost $12 on Amazon. The second claim I never got a response so I emailed after a few weeks and they finally sent me an email and they kept sending emails that’s stated I hadn’t responded when in fact I had.

    I resent the emails I told them I sent when the customer service representative said that he “checked with a supervisor” and they did not receive them and these had date and time stamps and was told they just received the emails so I would have to pay the $75 fee again… What?!? I could have bought a new dishwasher and ceiling fan on my own at this point. On top of that the call center employees are rude and laugh when you get frustrated, likely because they know they are committing fraud… Steer clear. I had American Home Shield prior and highly recommend them.

    My partner and I purchased a policy from them (policy# **) and we learned the hard way that they use deceptive tactics to avoid paying for replacements, leaving you high and dry when you need them most. Under Limits of Liability section of the contract (Section H.10 in my contract), it reads ‘LHG will cover up to the Covered Item’s Book Value’. But here's the catch: **they get to decide what the "book value" is, and they do so completely arbitrarily.**

    In our case, they valued our air conditioner at **zero**, which meant they essentially refused to pay only around 20% of replacement costs. We were left with a worthless policy and a huge expense to replace our A/C out of pocket. This company's practices are nothing short of a scam. Don't make the same mistake we did—stay far away from them and protect yourself from their underhanded tactics.

    Updated on 08/17/2024: LHG sent the wrong size garbage disposal that needed to have new plumbing put in which this tech does not do. 2 weeks have gone by and service is incomplete the contract states under normal conditions it will be done in 48 hours. Looks like I'll be waiting another few weeks for my claims to be resolved.

    Original: BUYER BEWARE. This company will lead you on, lie to you, and give you the worst customer service experience. Filed 2 claims with LHG, they called me same day explaining I missed a call with them and the technician to schedule the appointment, there was no missed call. I called the number on my account for the technician, they had no record of my claims, they wanted me to pay them, then they wanted me to go to their third party who aslo had no record of my claims. I called back and spent 3 hours on the phone trying to get this resolved, I was transferred and hung up on multiple times. I finally reached someone and tried to cancel my service.

    A few days later an account manager reached out to me, and refunded 1 of my claims. I kept the service to get my claims resolved. On 8/5/2024 I had technician scheduled to come out 8/12/24, the technician did not call to schedule this, but on 8/12 they called to schedule for 8/16 with no record of any scheduled work that day. I agreed to the 8/16 and decided to deal with LHG since I wil be waiting another 5 days for service (contract states 48 hours). I've spoken to the technician and he stated he never scheduled the service (the text messages and emails confirming my appointment came directly from LHG). I spoke to the account manager, who told me it was a glitch, and the technician scheduled it, she advised because I wrote a BBB complaint based on the poor CS, she can no longer help on my account and someone would reach out.

    On 8/14 someone reached out, they reached out just to tell me I have an appointment. I asked for a manager so this can be resolved (multiple hours wasted on the phone trying to handle this, missed appointments, being lied to from other agents and just all around very poor customer service). The representative told me he will put in a request, I waited 15 mins and he told me that a manager will be in contact as soon as they are finished with what they are doing. 2 hours later I get a callback and it's a "manager" who can't do anything except escalate my case. I have wasted hours on the phone and $1300 on this service just to be strung along with no help whatsoever.

    Purchased home warranty through Liberty Home Guard. I asked all the necessary questions regarding their plans if they cover both parts and labor, and, my answer was yes. I even asked for coverage plans and coverages. I was told they cover both for parts and labor. I purchased the best plan they had available. Had my first repair, technician said my garage door opener needs to be replaced. Come to find out customers pay for ALL LABOR on any replacement and they provide parts ONLY! WELL, the agent who sold me the plan left that portion out. After purchasing the contract I actually had to call them back and ask for a copy of my contract which was NOT sent to me.

    Terrible rip off company. First my dryer stopped working, a week later they sent a fly by night Technician who ordered parts, a week later returned to replace parts. Dryer worked once. Never paid for replacement that was needed. A year later my ac compressor fan stop working July in Florida. Again a week before the Technician comes, he files the report for replacement fan, LHG tells him to wait, they may elect to replace instead. They tell me we should replace it and it would be greatly discounted. We agreed only to have to wait two more weeks. This is now a month long endeavor. Again fly by night Technician shows up and takes 9 hours to replace by himself. The greatly discounted price $5800.00. That's $500 off. Left a bad review on Google including never being paid for dryer.

    LHG contacted me and said they would pay an extra 300 on the ac and 500 on the dryer, but only if I signed a statement saying I would never file a claim with them again and I would have to take down my bad review. That's their game, crappie service and counting on people that need anything they can get thus driving the bad reviews down. I on the other hand am fortunate enough to not let them get away with it.

Save your money. If your appliance is truly broken someone who can’t fix it will come to your home. They will order some parts and make you pay again for technician to install the parts. That technician will not fix your appliance and you’ll be out several hundred dollars and a broken appliance.

    Do not do business with Liberty Home Guard. I signed up for service with this company and four months later when I had a claim, they said they never took any payments. This was after I had gotten acceptance letter emails. It took about three weeks to get this resolved. I had to pay for four months of backpay. After getting that resolved, they started the claim on my AC unit. They would not honor my unit's claim because it was 20 years old. That was understandable. This is where the big problem came up. I paid the deductible and had to pay nearly $6,000 for a new unit and installation. The unit went out in less than three weeks. It took a week for them to call me to set up an appointment. I was given a hard time about speaking with management. The unit went out three more times between 06/24 and 07/22. They changed the company that did the installation and sent another company.

    Liberty told me I needed more parts for the new unit they installed and I would have to pay for installation. I was furious. How and why should I have to repay anything more for a bad unit that was installed through their company?! They said they did not cover installation of the new part that went bad, but the first installation wasn't ever done properly or the part was bad in the unit they had already installed. I never had these problems in the unit I had for 20 years. I thought I was getting a bargain with Liberty because the deductible and monthly payment was cheaper. When I compared the coverages with American Home Shield, Liberty does not compare. They didn't even honor what was covered in the contract.

    Company reached out to me and assigned a personal account manager. We've have had several discussions and Emanual profusely apologized for the way the maintenance call was handled. Not only was an apology proffered, which I was convinced was genuine, an additional token reimbursement was added. In short, I was swayed that this initial maintenance call was an aberration and the company wants to make up for it. I will continue with Liberty and my expectation is that my next maintenance call will be handled professionally.

    Original Review: July 24, 2024

    Without a doubt, the WORST home warranty business I have ever had. Technicians they use have been irresponsible (no shows) or utterly incompetent. On AC call. Actually wrongly wired fan which then started burning. Actually, not my words but those of a reputable hvac business who I ended up calling. Don't be fooled by some of the verbiage in contract, i.e. will reimburse up to 1800 for AC replacement. Their response?... "We did not state 1800... We said up to." Actual reimbursement? 350. Their "resolution" dept actually offered an additional 300, but guess what, never put in notes, never emailed me.... Guess what....350 it is on a $8K new system. Speaking of customer service....it would be nice if they were fluent in the English language...but that is way too much to hope for. My words.... my experience... Scam is too nice a word to use.

At first the claim was denied, then they immediately changed track and offered to replace the microwave, but I would be forced to pay for the installation, but then offered less than 40% of the value of the microwave I had purchased less than 1 year prior, and less than 60% of the current sale price value of that microwave, as can be seen on Amazon / Home Depot / Lowe's.

    I asked for clarification, and they stood their ground, stating that they would cover that amount for the replacement cost of the microwave, plus $100 for the installation cost, and that they would send a technician who would then charge me $200+ more for the installation of that new microwave oven. I requested a refund, and they opted to inform me that they would charge me essentially $250 for the privilege of having a useless home warranty for 3 months, and proceeded to call me incessantly for the next 4 days to get me to "accept" their resolution.

    I sent an email demanding that they STOP calling me, and stated that I refer that they contact me only by email, and applied a caveat; implied acceptance of contract for $400 per minute for phone calls, with a minimum charge of 30 minutes, and acceptance of the contract only required that they call me. They couldn't help themselves. They called to discuss the "importance of being able to speak with me" and to discuss my acceptance of their proposed resolution, which I then informed them was contractual acceptance of $12K for those 2 phone calls.

    Since then, I have gotten relief from the phone calls, but have yet to be able to collect the refund for the contract as owed, even though they told me they would refund me 100% of the money paid to them, but tried to attach some non-disparity / nda / hold harmless crap to, in the form of a contract I was asked to sign before I could be paid money that THEY AGREED THEY OWED ME.

    On April 30, 2024, I filed a claim to replace my air conditioner. Liberty Home Guard mishandled my claim from the start. They initially refused to accept photos of my HVAC system and neglected to send an inspector despite my requests. I had to hire an HVAC company myself to verify the information I had already provided weeks prior.

    When I discovered issues with my AC during a spring tune-up by Harris Air, I submitted a claim with a report from Harris Air detailing the problems. Liberty Home Guard requested an estimate from Harris Air, which I provided. However, they dismissed the estimate and insisted I find my own installer. Despite obtaining five additional quotes, each company refused to install a system they hadn't sourced themselves due to warranty and liability concerns.

    Throughout the process, Liberty Home Guard failed to provide essential information such as warranty details and installation specifics. Their communication regarding costs was unclear, and they repeatedly avoided my questions during numerous calls. Their cost breakdown omitted installation costs, which they refused to disclose separately.

    My attempts to resolve these issues with Liberty Home Guard were futile. I repeatedly asked for a full quote including installation and warranty information, but they consistently refused to provide these details or disclose the identity of their preferred installation company. This lack of transparency made it impossible to proceed with them.

    Ultimately, I had no choice but to hire one of the companies that provided a quote, and I had a new AC system installed. Despite my persistent requests to speak with a manager, every representative (Daniel **, Allison, Kory **, Emily ** and many many more!) claimed to be the highest authority, refusing to connect me with anyone higher in the company hierarchy.

    Upon reviewing their contract, I discovered false information regarding where complaints should be filed, which Liberty Home Guard deliberately misrepresented and outright LIED about. Despite contacting the company numerous times, they refused to address my concerns or provide a satisfactory resolution. Emily **, who identified herself as the highest-ranking contact, failed to rectify the ongoing issues or provide the necessary information.

    Given these circumstances, I believe Liberty Home Guard has breached our contract with their deceptive practices. I requested a refund of the $1575 I paid for the policy, which they also refused. Emily ** has since ignored my attempts to contact her, and subsequent calls to Liberty Home Guard have been met with dismissive responses, including being hung up on. In light of these experiences and the false information in the contract, I consider the contract null and void and demand a full refund.

    Liberty Home Guard is a rip-off. We have 8 homes and we decided to switch to Liberty on our primary residence to check them out. The other 7 homes are with Fidelity Home warranty and have been for over 8 years. Liberty Home Warranty should be sued for fraud. We have never had so many issues dealing with a home warranty company. First our water heater stopped working and instead of repairing they credited us 1/4 the cost to replace.

    Now middle of July our AC goes out and they send someone out who says the system is shot so Liberty will not repair or fix. They are trying to credit $500 dollars. I called an AC company out and they got it running within 30 min and told us it was a bad fan motor. These guys are a joke! Do not get caught up in their lies. When we signed up we were told they would fix or replace any covered item. What they do is weigh the cost of repair and then tell you all they can do is offer 1/20 the cost. Stay far away unless you enjoy aggravation and being ripped off.

    I Have had about every warranty company out there. I keep them on my rental properties and my personal home. The biggest problem I have with Liberty is their contractors. They do not vet them. You have no idea who who coming into your house. I had one still $1,000 from me. Told me he could not do the work unless I gave him $1,080 for freon. It turns out Liberty contractors are not supposed to ask money from customers. How are we supposed to know that, most other warranty companies do. They need to train their contractors. After he got the $1,000 from me he did not fix the air conditioner. He claimed he put 12 lb of freon in it. I had another AC guy go over there and look, he said no freon was there, no one had put it in there. I ended up paying another company $5,000 for a new AC unit. Liberty reimbursed me $400. I'm out 5,000 plus $1,000 that was stolen from their contractor.

    Liberty would not honor anything that their contractors do. If you're want a warranty for very small items like switches, ceiling fans, things like that you'll get a decent handyman. Other than that they are not paying for anything else, You're paying it yourself. By no means ever trust their contractors. Liberty will not help you with them. I honestly do not believe they've vet them. If someone wants to be a contractor they sign them up. This I know, I had several contractors that have come to my properties that didn't not know the process. Looking on YouTube to figure out how to fix something. It is a joke.

    We had a storm blow out our AC units and internet on Saturday evening - The temperatures in the area are currently at 95+. On Monday, we contact Liberty to file a claim, once we get the internet back up and find that the AC units have the issue. The company assigns someone to come and fix the unit. He comes on Tuesday, late, without the parts he *thinks* he needs and rushing because "he's late to get his daughter to dance class." Issues with AC are unresolved.

    I initiate a text chat with Liberty to ask if we can select the group to come do the review and confirm that this is allowed. The claim is switched to a reimbursement claim. I am told, via chat, that the maintenance guy can come and we can phone in the issues on the spot for immediate approval. The new guy comes on Wednesday, is able to identify two of three issues. Liberty is called and provided the information by my husband, who is dissatisfied with the lack of professionalism on the call.

    I receive a phone call, while driving, telling me that we must submit documentation of maintenance on our units right away. I am told that by doing so, we will "get more money back than if we do not submit the paperwork", after I ask why the paperwork is needed. I share that I am currently hours from home and cannot pullover at the moment to do this. The woman tries to give me the email address on the phone, and I share that she needs to send it to me via email. I point out that per the directions we were provided, we should have been able to receive immediate approval and that they are waiting at the house to complete the maintenance. The caller is surprised to hear that a) my husband is still on hold with the company and b) the repair guy is there with him. Again, issues of professionalism. The service is not resolved.

    On Thursday morning at 8:30 am, I request all paperwork from our maintenance company (we pay a monthly service fee) and email it to Liberty, per the directions given to both me and my husband, on the phone and via email. The maintenance guy returns Thursday afternoon to finish the work. He finds another issue with the unit, now that the first two parts are replaced (this issue could not be identified until the motherboard was replaced).

    I again initiate a chat online with Liberty to ask if they have the paperwork and what we need to do regarding the change in claim. I am asked to call so that the issue can be expedited. When I call, she asks why I am calling and that they need at least another hour before they get to the paperwork. I am asked why I emailed the paperwork. I share that a) I was told to call to expedite the claim via chat, b) I was also told to email the paperwork by the company, and c) that the maintenance guy is back to try and finish the job. She wants to know why he is back if the claim was done yesterday. I explain that we were still waiting on them to approve the claim. The woman tells that the paperwork is now on my account and we will have an updated resolution tomorrow. So, still no answers/solutions today.

    I paid for a five year warranty. I've had minimal claims, and I have done everything asked. There has been a pattern of sloppiness - for example, in another claim, they had someone cut open the ceiling to find a leak, and then never had it closed back up - I had to do it. This last event was the final straw. Totally disgusted by the lack of professionalism in the phone calls we have had with this company, as if we are an inconvenience to them. I can assure you that we will not use them again when our warranty expires.

    I have paid on a policy for 3 years with Liberty Home Guard. I filed a claim for my AC going out. The AC company who I have had set up on a monthly plan to service my ac and keep the filters changed to make sure I was doing all I could. I paid small claims out of my pocket. The company said they couldn't get parts for my ac anymore. They said I could spend $700 to put freon in but they had serviced it 3 months ago and everything was fine. So I had to get another ac which I paid for out of pocket and filed my claim. It was near 100 outside so I was not going to let my family burn up.

    Liberty charged me $150 to file a claim, then called me to say they were going to pay $300 because I didn't let them look at it. But if you can't get parts I don't see why that would be a problem. They put me on hold to tell me they would give me $400. So I paid 3 years of home warranty and a $150 claim fee for them to pay $400. Worst company ever! Stay away from this comp.

I’ve filed a claim with the BBB and Liberty again said they’d call me and haven’t. Their entire process is a nightmare and we’ve lost significant money to try to fix refrigerators that are not fixed.

    I'm not sure how Liberty Home Guard is supposed to be the top rated home warranty company for consecutive years. I've been with American Home Shield, and a couple of others over the past 15+ years and LHG has by far been the worst experience ever. I had two policies for two separate homes with them for one year. I filed a total of three claims for my primary residence and none for our rental property. For each claim, they were quick to get a technician out to diagnose the issues, but they all three sat in "Under Review" for over a week, for each.

    One was for our A/C in June in Texas. I ended up just having it repaired while I waited, tried to follow up, and just kept getting messages that it was under review. Then it was a nightmare to get it reimbursed because no one calls back or wants to resolve claims. They are a huge scam, in my opinion and I would give them negative stars, if possible. I liked AHS, but they are very expensive. One of the technicians recommended Old Republic, so you might want to check them out. I hope this helps!

I was sent an email telling me when my technician was coming and that’s it. I have received no communication since then other than me calling every single day to get an update. On 6/3 I called and they said someone would contact me in 24 hours. Exactly 24 hours later I called again and when I told the customer service rep that I was supposed to have gotten a phone call he said “do you know the difference between today and yesterday?” Which was so utterly shocking to me. After telling him that his tone and his question were disrespectful and inappropriate, he said he would have someone call me.

    About an hour later, someone called me to say that they were working on it and that I would get an email. She had no other information for me. I finally got an email on 6/4 detailing the “quote” to replace my A/C unit (which was recommended by the technician). I was told that I would get a refurbished unit and I would be responsible for $5600. Or I could get my own technician and only pay $2900. They said that either way, LHG would be contributing $900.

    However, I was informed that if I got a brand new unit from my own A/C guy (for a total of $3100 including labor) and didn’t use the refurbished unit provided, then I would only receive $200 from LHG. It's very hard to understand why I will be penalized for getting a new unit, which is warrantied for 10 years. Why would this company want me to use a refurbished unit which will absolutely not last in the TX heat? Is it because they want to keep servicing the unit? So that they can keep overcharging for their parts? I would never recommend this company.

They waited two weeks with us in the heat...not kidding... then forced us to pay to get another opinion.

    The second guy we paid for (full price since LHG wouldn't help), found nothing wrong with the system and it worked perfectly.

They apparently do not communicate within the company.

I have had one electrician say they won’t come because they’re not going to work with Liberty Home because they keep them on the phone for too long. Electrician and construction company and Left my house or worse than when he got here.

    The third electrician came and they kept him on the phone for three hours and wasn’t even able to complete the job. On the phone regarding this issue, at least 10 times and I’ve written five emails, sent pictures. It does not end. I still have no lights after the electrician came. Not because he couldn’t do the job, it was because they have to do things in stages. I wish I would’ve never left American Home Shield. Night and day difference. (Voice to text). Do not Go with this company.

    Overall I was not happy with the surface. It took them forever to get workmen out of the house. Thinking that things were covered fully was a mistake. For my washing machine because it was a few years old they gave me $225 towards a new machine.. Same thing with my Refrigerator. Pay $80 to have somebody come out and diagnose it and then take days to get one and only get partially reimbursed about 20%. Waste of money.

    I would provide a zero if I could. I'm not thrilled with purchasing home warranties, and realized all the complaints about them. I figured it was the best option for a rental property. I purchased warranties in the past but this has been the absolute worse company I have used. For a $1200.00 water heater they are only covering $175.00. I was given excuse after excuse on what it wasn't being covered.

    First we didn't go through one of their approved repair companies. When after 5 days we were given the approval to hire an out of approved service company. Then we were told the cost wasn’t approved because the water heater wasn’t being properly maintained. What! How would they have any way of knowing this! Now they are stating that it's not being covered because the following, and claim this statement pertains to water heaters (interesting): "u). Unless stated otherwise in this Agreement, valves of any kind and leaks, leak detection, and leak searching of any kind." My advice is to STAY AWAY from this company. My property Management company will no longer accept clients who use this warranty company. And they were by far the most difficult warranty company they have worked with.

    Liberty Home Guard is a scam - stay away! For all the warranty repairs I have had to do with them - they basically find a way to recover their cost (and more) by either 1. depreciating the appliance saying it doesn't have any value (offered me $125 for a Frigidaire dishwasher that needed new electric panel), 2. charging co-pay that more than covers their cost of parts/repair. This is on top of the $75 technician visit and the $700 cost of the warranty itself. The most crooked home warranty company I've dealt with.

    The experience with Liberty is one of the worst I have ever experienced with a Home warranty company, and this was on my first (and only claim thus far) claim. First of all, they did not assign a technician until 6 days after I filed the claim, despite their 24-48hr guarantee. Then when they called and gave me the price six days after technician was her to diagnosis the problem) i was shocked to discover that they paid for the part (garage door opener) but not the installation. The installation is $300 using "their technician" which is $50.00 more than I can get someone else to do it. All this after me paying $100 to start the claim. In other words, they want $400 to install a $164 part. Their customer service service rep simply stated the line in the 10 page contract that said I was responsible for the installation. I will be cancelling with them when I asked hypothetically, what would happen if my A/C went out, she informed me I would be responsible for the installation. Maybe I am simply naive but I have not had this issue with any other of the Home Warranty companies I have had.

    Update don 5/23/2024: The saga with Liberty continues. On May 17 I spoke to Nino the Sr. Customer Service Manager who only reached out because of my review. I called her because I noticed my unresolved claim was marked as resolved and removed. I found out that because I canceled the auto renewal of the policy they "paused" open claims but what that really means is they cancel your policy and all claims. My coverage is good until July 7.

    My dryer has yet to be fixed. They have also been giving the contractor the run around and have told him they are not processing my claim. Nino offered to pay the cost of the repairs and issu a special refund of the policy for my trouble. She said she would figure out the numbers and get back to me. We'll I had to call her back. She offered 250 for repairs and 50 for my trouble. The 2 months without a dryer, the countless hours on the phone not to mention the stress and frustration and costs of going to a laundromat was only worth 50 bucks.

    LHG clearly does not care about the consumer or the fact that they are supposed to provide a service and do their best to just make money. I told Nino to keep the money and resubmit my claim and that my policy is good until July and is what I paid for and they need to do what they were paid to do and that is to provide a service! GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE!

    Original review: The service at LHG is poor at best. The contractors are not the best and unreliable. LHG also would not cover my furnace claiming the heat exchanger was not covered...well no one repairs heat exchangers due to safety reasons and even though the other issues with the furnace were covered they did not want to make good on the claim. I have a clothes dryer claim still not resolved for over a month. The first tech didn't fix it. The second tech diagnosed the problem but could never get through to LHG nor could LHGs dispatch get a hold of their own tech, which is a a bigger joke than their customer service team. I had a dishwasher claim and the tech they assigned was in a different state and never showed up...go figure. These guys are the absolute worst!

We purchased the policy because it covered a saltwater pool.

    Their policy refers to 3 different sections that ultimately indicate the limitations. It is written in a way to defraud and misrepresent the coverages that ultimately are not there.

    Recently filed a claim for a leaky pipe. Their technician came, did repair of the pipe, changed some other part in the system and said that it is all good now. A day later, the pipe exploded at the point of the repair and flooded the whole apartment! 2 inches of water, damages to walls, flooring, belongings... This happened on Sunday, I called them immediately and also spoke with customer service via chat. They said that they do not have emergency services on Sunday and will find a technician on Monday. This means, no water, no shower, no toilet for us until then... I asked if I can call the plumber myself? "Yes, but they need to be authorized by our department and that department is closed"... So it is a closed loop... No authorization - no reimbursement.

    I submitted the photos and the videos of the water damage and asked them to contact me regarding the water damage remediation on Monday - prepared to take them to court on this if they do not pay for the water damage remediation and all required repairs. I do not know where they get these "technicians" ... It is supposed to be local trusted businesses... but it looks like this whole operation is a scam... On one of my other claims, the "technician" said that he never heard of them, received a call from their dispatch and asked if he is servicing the area... That is about the extent of the familiarity he had with their business. In the end, he refused to work with them because he could not get anyone to take ownership of the claim, and he did not wanted to waste time with their representatives.

    Yes, about these customer service representatives... they all have the same accent, and it is not US accent, sounds like someplace in South America call center. They just log calls and tell you that they are forwarding the issue to Dispatch or Authorization, or some other department. They do not solve any problems, only apologize and are very unclear about the next steps in the process... Anything you call about, even if it is a new issue on the existing claim, they will say that it will take 24-48 hours.... which is unacceptable when you are dealing with heating or water in the cold or hot weather!!!

As a gesture of kindness, they offered me a $250 credit toward the purchase of a new water heater, which costs $4000 where I live.

They stated it was the cost for everything so essentially this company was only willing to cover 300.

    In addition, we had contractors come out and look at the ceiling for an estimate of that repair as well. What is absurd to me is that I handed over $10,000 to Liberty Home Guard and you guys have dealt with this so poorly.

    By way of background, I am an attorney so I read dense documents like the Liberty home warranty for a living. Prior to purchasing the Liberty Appliance Warranty, I read the fine print to understand the exclusions. etc. Given the relatively low cost to cover all of my appliances ($450 for the year), I decided to give it a shot to see how these plans work. After filing my first claim, I now understand how it is almost impossible for these policies to make financial sense. Here's why:

    The "headline" policy suggests that they will repair your appliance up to $2K or replace with a comparable one. Buried however in the fine print is a limit that they only need to provide you with the "book value" of the appliance. So in my case, I had a GE refrigerator that was over $2K new but ten years old. The ice maker broke, which was a covered item. I paid the $150 deductible to get it inspected, and was told the repair would cost $300 (so $450 total with the inspection fee). The claims department indicated however that as my refrigerator only had a book value of $150, they would only apply $150 to the repair (and I would then lose future coverage on the unit) or they would give me a $150 credit towards purchasing a new refrigerator. So either way, Liberty's responsibility was capped at $150.

    These guys are very clever. When an appliance is new, it is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. After that time, the appliance depreciates quickly in value (the useful life of most appliances are less than 10 years), so any significant repair will likely exceed the book value of the unit. So the policy only "works" when an appliance breaks in the first few years after you buy it, when presumably issues are less common. Bottom line, Liberty has designed the policy so that its responsibility in most cases will be significantly less than your annual premium, regardless of the actual cost to repair or replace the appliance.

    I paid for the Total Home Guard coverage plan for 3 years + 4 months. Total cost was $1,550 and a service fee of $70. Everything seemed fine until my first service call. Technician came out to look at my HVAC unit (AC and Gas furnace combo) because the furnace was sometimes not firing. He said he would recommend some replacement parts and that all. A few days I get call from LHG to tell me my unit is too old to repair so they will need to replace it, but because my unit is also too old, the book value of my unit is $0, so they will not cover the replacement (which is not needed according to the technician). They happily offer options to replace ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 out of pocket cost to me. What a total scam. Buyers beware.

    In the agreement section H.10.a.i.3 it states that LHG will only cover up to the book value of any covered item. So unless you have a brand new unit (which is typically under manufacture warranty) they will determine that your item is worth $0 and will try to sell you a replacement. This warranty is just a cover to sell you “wholesale” out of manufacture warranty products.

Second, I disagree that the Air Unit is not broken. The smell is coming out of the vents for a reason. You do not get such a smell when the AC is working well. Third the customer service rep was a joke - horrible service.

LHG gives instructions on what YOU must do to get reimbursement, and once all completed they give more instructions on MORE that you have to do to get the refund. I already did the work myself to get the problem resolved because I have learned it takes weeks for LHG to get a technician to respond, now I have learned getting refunded for doing their work is just as painful. I will not be a repeat customer. You have been warned.

    Please be aware of this insurance company. I became member based on good reviews but I would like to share my recent claim experience which one was the first claim in 2023. I had a minor roof leak so I called and submitted claim paying 65$ copay. They send roofer who find missing shingles and some nails damage. So roofer gave repair estimate of 2000$ to replace missing shingles and some patchwork. Liberty called me and said they don’t cover missing shingles but will pay 150$ for patchwork and I pay rest and roofing company is laughing at me so basically Liberty wants to pay 150-65(my payment)=85$ to settle my claim.

    I would love to cancel my policy but they are going to give hard time to refund any money so I requested manager to call me back but still waiting. I am not sure what to do now. They put so many fine prints in contact and want to pay 85$ for limited roof repair what a scam. Who even goes on roof for 85$ in cold weather forget even to fix anything in post Covid inflation era. I want to take away even one star if I have a choice.

    Resolution rep told me he understand my concerns but he said only manager can revise the 150$ claim reimbursement to adjust so I requested manager to call me but still waiting for weeks and still no responds. Very poor customer services so be aware and don't be get fooled with US news ranks that they advertise everywhere. Pl. call me manager because more damage are being done with rain while I am waiting to my roof be fixed

    What is worse than negative stars? Cliff note version: DO NOT USE LIBERY HOME GUARD if you expect them to have any decency, honesty, or if you expect them to actually help. I submitted a claim on October 31, 2023 due to my home heater not working and it remains broken as I write on December 6, 2023, December 12, 2023, December 22, 2023.

    A Liberty technician was sent, and he reported that the pressure switch was the issue. Because labor for install is not included, I had my technician out to install the new switch only to find out that Liberty sent the wrong pressure switch. So at this point I have paid the $125 claim fee and a $150 service call fee for my technician even though he could not replace the part because Liberty made a mistake. After it was brought to Liberty’s attention that the part was incorrect, the new part would NOT be released until I returned the incorrect part to USPS. They also refuse to reimburse me for the claim fee or the service call fee that was wasted because of their error.

    Once I returned the incorrect part, I had to wait on the next shipment. The next shipment included the correct pressure switch AND other parts that were 'accidentally' ordered. Again requiring me to make a trip to USPS for Liberty’s mistake. During this time, I called my technician to install the correct pressure switch. Despite the part being replaced, and having to pay another service fee to my technician, the unit is still not working.

    I called Liberty once again to let them know the issue is not resolved and the issue was not what their technician said it was. The first call, the individual said a technician should give me a call in 1-2 business days and there would not be an added fee because it was within the 60 day window from the start of the claim. I did not receive a call, so I called back. Upon my second call to Liberty, since their technician had not reached out, I was told there would be another $80 fee for the technician to come back out to diagnose the issue. The individual with Liberty that I spoke to even asked me to send a diagnosis report from my technician. My tech was only at my house to install the part that Liberty’s tech previously said I needed.

    I did not employ my technician for anything more as I have a home warranty company that should be able to do what a home warranty is supposed to do. I made it clear that the Liberty technician needed to be dispatched and that I would not be paying the $80. I logged into the website today to find a message that my claim was on hold. I received the following message: “You are seeing this notification because we have either attempted to contact you and have been unsuccessful, or because we are awaiting information from you in order to progress your claim. Please contact us at your earliest convenience so we can resolve this hold. The best way to do so is by using our live chat feature below, or by calling us.”

    This is despite the fact that I received a call from someone at Liberty yesterday and spoke with someone about my claim. I informed them once again that the heater was still broken. The intended part was finally sent to me by Liberty and my technician was able to install it. Despite that part being installed, as directed by the Liberty technician, the heater is still not working. I spoke to yet another individual this morning and she restated the same things with no comprehension as to why I will not be paying more or doing the work for Liberty. I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old and have not had a heater for all of November and December. Even without children, this is not acceptable.

    I will give Liberty credit for training their customer services representatives well. They sound like well programed computers that can calmly restate the exact same thing again and again and again even when it makes no sense. Even after a technician was sent back out and agreed the unit needed to be replaced, LHG tried to offer me $500 in lieu of the contractual cap amount of $2000 per the contract. Another round of calling them, waiting, explaining simple facts to them, and not getting anywhere. Again, the claim for my heater was submitted on October 31, 2023. It is now December 12, 2023.

    December 22, 2023 and I still do not have a functioning heater. Liberty remains incapable of calling back when they say they will and will not respond to emails. Policy section H.2. states, “We have the right to request purchase records, repair / installation records, maintenance records, certifications, and home inspection reports, among other pieces of evidence, for any reason at any time, including but not limited to reviewing any claims, or reviewing Our decision to deny any claims. Should you not provide Us with the aforementioned pieces of evidence, We reserve the right to limit or deny Your repair, replacement, and/or cash in lieu of repair or replacement.” Section H.3. also states, “All Covered items must be in place and in proper working order on the Effective Date of this Agreement. This Agreement does not cover any known or unknown pre-existing conditions.”

    I only have a home warranty policy (because clearly they are a scam) as I received it with the purchase of my home. With the purchase of a home, I do not have maintenance records. I offered to send the home inspection, and despite that proving the system was in working order, they would not accept the inspection and provide the correct contribution amount. I’m out $275 because of Liberty’s scam and even more in the time spent following up, pushing my claim since they wouldn’t, being home for technicians, and returning parts for them.

    ConsumerAffairs is paid by this company as a partner so I would be VERY suspect of this review they posted. In short: LHG is terrible. Had a fridge go out. Technician did nothing to repair. Just looked at it for < 5 minutes and reported it was the sealed system. Guess what LHG doesn't cover? Sealed system. (That's literally the 'fridge' part of your refrigerator). Offered measly $150 cash towards their new recommended fridges. Not only was I already out $90 for the initial service call, but they also kept pushing me to purchase a replacement fridge from them.

    Months later, I our dishwasher went on the fritz. Tech says it's a control board. Days go by and eventually LHG says it's 6 years old out of 10yrs and not worth repairing. They want to give me $250 towards a new one and recommend Frigidaire crap models I can purchase towards. Like others say: they don't get wholesale pricing on anything. It's the same price as if you bought from Home Depot or Lowe's. They also charge $250 for installation and haul-away of your old unit. It's a scam to drum up more revenue sources.

    I've had two legit claims and literally nothing has been covered. I can't find anything in the policy saying specifically _how_ they find the 'book value' of your device (my old dishwasher wasn't $500 when it was new!), but they hold all the cards and don't budge on this. Therefore, I've basically made it my goal to carpetbomb their reviews with factual information about how their company operates. Not these ridiculous 'reviews' that sites like CA and This Old House post.

It is a 3 year old Samsung fridge and their replacement option was a Frigidaire brand single door. Look at the pics to compare. Either that replacement or a $450 contribution towards a new one. Denied both and then they said that they can cancel the policy and I will get a refund of $350.00 back. I denied that also. I logged in and my policy showed inactive.

    I thought we would give a home warranty a try since many of our appliances were starting to age as was our roof. After doing some brief research, I settled on Liberty Home Guard. Our first experience was with our built-in microwave. It was an 8-year-old kitchen aid unit. It stopped working shortly after buying our home warranty. I submitted the claim and paid our $80 deposit. After a few days, a technician was assigned. They came by and determined that the motherboard had gone out. Unfortunately, the motherboard was no longer manufactured therefore the entire unit had to be replaced. This is where it gets interesting.

    The way that liberty (and I am sure most if not all home warranty companies) make money Is by determining what is more affordable to them: Repairing your existing unit or replacing it at its DEPRECIATED value. They have a reference guide that they use to determine this. Well guess which option ends up being cheaper in almost every instance? That's right, the replacement value of your depreciated unit. Of course, most appliances that are old enough to be having significant mechanical issues will also be old enough to have a minimal residual depreciated value.

    In the end, they offered a $100 check to replace our $2400 built in microwave. We could not afford the $2300 difference so we went down to Sam's and bought a $70 countertop microwave that we have been using since. This same scenario played out with our dryer which also died shortly thereafter. In this case, they offered a $150 check which we did use to purchase a new unit only because we had no other option. Just recently, we developed a leak in our that resulted in some interior wall damage. I called and filed a claim again, paying my $80 deductible.

    After a week passed with no word, we finally had a technician assigned to our case who came out and did an assessment. It was determined that "several shingles" would need to be replaced. This is perhaps the most laughable part of this entire review. So I get a call from one of liberty's representatives explaining that shingles are not covered under their limited roof policy. That's right, the roof is not covered by the limited roof policy. I literally laughed out loud at the representative when he told me this, said thank you very much and hung up.

    To summarize, you would literally have to have 4-6 major appliances die and need to be replaced within the same year to even come close to breaking even on this policy. Furthermore, you can't choose your own technicians and the delays in service related to liberty's process which requires an initial visit for assessment followed by a second later visit for repair after they have approved the work make using their product not only next to worthless but also time-consuming. Imagine if your air conditioner went out in the middle of July and it took 2-3 weeks to have a repairman get his work approved before they could even begin work. Save your money and save yourself a lot of hassle. Avoid this product.

Just had another service now. Tech out to clean the furnace and he verified this unit is in great condition.

Liberty Home Guard is definitely on the pricier end, but cheap service is not good and good service is not cheap.

Then after they finally show up (and usually diagnose the problem wrong) the claim is submitted to liberty who says they'll cover like $120 or some measly amount of what the estimated repair is. So after you pay the service call to get the technician out you're only saving like $60 on the repair. We had a plumbing issue, and AC issue and an electrical issue and on all 3 the technical was dead wrong on diagnosing the problem so I had to get someone else out (out of my own pocket) to make the repair. When I went to cancel my policy they gave me $700 back on the $3000 plan I purchase for a 5 year policy. They claim I used up all of my claim budget.

    As others have reviewed here, I got the run around twice with Liberty Home Guard. First my dryer died and they dispatched a flyby night technician that took a month to get it working, but for one day. When it failed again we told them we were going to get a new one. They told us to send the receipt and photo of new dryer to support@liberty**.**. Never heard from them again. One year later the fan on my AC died, July, in Florida. It took a week for a technician to come out and confirm, it took another 2 weeks for Liberty to decide they should replace the whole unit, however they would only give a $500.00 discount (10%) on the new unit, we agreed due to age and wanted to be done with it. It took a month to finally get the AC working again.

    During this time I left a 1 star review on Google and then we heard from Albert (mentioned in other low reviews here) who said he would take care of everything. He offered additional $300 on the AC and $500 for the dryer they never paid. But there's a catch, they sent an agreement that actually says we have to remove the one star review and can never hold them to a claim "from the beginning of time until the end of the universe itself" meaning the warranty he paid for three years coverage would now be worthless. We didn't sign it, told them to make it specific to the claims at hand and haven't heard from them again. Liberty's star rating is because they buy off people who can't afford to hold them accountable. Don't do business with them.

And their pricing seems to be more than justified by the savings. I saved $350 on this first dishwasher claim alone.

    They are quick to take your money. But when I had a problem with my AC they came out and after over two weeks they said it was too old and does not cover my system. Said it was in my policy I never got! They are ripoffs and should be sued!! Take your money to cover things in home, but when you file a claim they deny it! Why have it. Stay away from them. They are the WORST!

    Do not waste your money. They will find every way to deny your claim. They will send unverifiable contractors to your house. Contractor will stop investigating as soon as one issue is found and refuse to complete a full inspection. Would give even lower review if allowed but sadly one star is the lowest. After reporting to BBB and was contacted by a Ms. ** who after agreeing to give me an "elevated refund" then told me to receive it I HAD to update my review to 3 or 4 stars to qualify for it. I also have to request the BBB not post my complaint publicly. (still have the email proof)

    Emailed to tell them to cancel my policy and that My reviews will NOT bought or bargained for. Also request cancellation via their website. At 1:58 pm Natile ** called to make me aware that because I was not signing the agreement I would not be getting the elevated refund and claimed to be unaware for my email. I told her that if that was true it was due to her mistake of not emailing me directly the two times I asked and through the course of conversion insisted they were not trying to buy my reviews and that "she doesn't make mistakes". Ms. ** also informed me multiple times one bad review doesn't hurt the company but they were willing to pay me $490 if I took down or changed my 1 star review.

    We've been with Liberty Home Guard two and a half years. Their service has been excellent the entire time. We've made extensive use of their plan for our appliances, getting our dishwasher, oven and microwave all replaced by them. Their customer service agents have been a pleasure to deal with each time, they’re all well-informed about our home and claims and never require me to repeat myself.

    They processed my claim way faster than I expected. The appliance repair guy they sent really seemed to know his stuff. He started taking apart the refrigerator right away, and replaced the faulty gasket in less than 25 minutes. Frankly, I was so impressed with how they handled the claim that the next day I called them back and upgraded my plan to a 5 year policy.

    I've been a customer of Liberty’s for over 3.5 years now. I am writing this review from a place of extensive experience–filing more than 12 claims with them. My experiences with them on each and everyone have been positive. First off, not once have they denied me financial coverage. They saved me money on each one. Second, the longest a claim ever took was 24 days and that was for a complete replacement of two HVAC systems for my house. Third, every single person I’ve dealt with associated with Liberty, from customer service to the technicians they send have been professional, competent, and charming. As someone that has had pretty much every other national home warranty provider, I am telling you to do yourself a favor and get a Liberty Home Guard home warranty.

    On two separate occasions, I’ve had to make claims for my LG washing machine and for my LG dryer. Both times Liberty made it very easy to get an appointment set up. The repairs were made with no issues and unlike other home warranty companies, there were no delays or hidden fees. We were able to just repair the dryer but the washing machine needed to be replaced. Layla from the Liberty side coordinated that replacement for us after we called in. The new unit, which frankly was an upgrade to our old one, arrived 8 days later. Great service and great people with a great attitude. Thank you Liberty!

    We purchased this policy after extensive conversations with the sales team, who assured us that the age of a large AC unit would in no way impact coverage. Then, our AC died, and instead of replacing it (as the sales team promised-we have multiple recordings of them assuring us of our coverage), the company cited a loophole in the contract which ONLY covers the “fair market value” of ANY unit. This means that on older units, they can simply say they have no value and therefore will not cover the unit. We could not get anyone to explain how they determine fair market value, they simply denied the claim. We spent hours with rude managers, being put on hold, and having managers refuse to speak to us. I cannot emphasize enough how worthless this policy is if you have a home with used units in it. Save your money for real contractors.

    I purchased a home warranty with Liberty Home Guard and it has been a very aggravating and disappointing experience. My GE Profile 5 burner gas stove top cannot be repaired and Liberty is trying to replace it with a $300-400 no name brand sold in Amazon. It is next to impossible to reach anyone on the phone and it takes days to receive an email response. They sent another option offering $600 credit towards the purchase of a $1000 stove top that I would have to pay $400 for and no installation. I have been without a working stove for almost three weeks now. Do not purchase a home warranty with Liberty. You are better off having no warranty.

    These guys are absolutely the top home warranty company! They do the absolute best job of the bunch. Their customer service personnel are always on the ball, their technicians that they use in their network are really impressive, especially John who they sent out on my last claim, and the savings are genuine and significant (in the thousands). I can confidently recommend Liberty Home Guard to anyone who is looking for a premier home warranty company.

    Join me for a CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT against Liberty: Our experience with Liberty has been disaster and we simply warn you from dealing with this company. What they do is just FRAUD. The reviews here reflect that notion. Don’t believe their BS that “We apologize for.. blah blah…”. They're just a bunch of fraud. Here are the issues:.. We paid $85 each for two issues, AC and Stove, and despite a 2-month wait, they addressed NOTHING. Our interactions with their customer service were always disrespectful, displaying a lack of concern for resolution whatsoever.

    In fact, the comments made by one of their representative appeared even racially insensitive (giving me comments about my English etc. even though I’m a college prof.). As for the two claims we filed, none of them were resolved as I explain here: a) The technician sent for the AC failed to resolve the noise issue originating from the attic, as it’s still making the noise, b) Similarly, the RUDE technician they sent for stove only took a pic and provided no follow-up. He did not fix anything for the stove but charged us for that. As per our coverage, we should have only be liable for the $85 service fee, not the sum negotiated between Liberty and the technicians, but they charged us for that once we decided to cancel our premium, which is FRAUD again!

    From our original premium payment of $570, they have reluctantly agreed to refund only $100, shedding light on their fraudulent and deceptive business practices. Despite their failure to address any of our issues, they have pocketed $470, all while subjecting us to a two-month wait for nothing... As evident from the numerous people affected by this fraudulent company, we, the VICTIMS of this deceitful shit, can pursue a CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT to address the issue collectively, as individual filings can be costly. If you are interested in joining me in this cause, please contact me via email at "**", and we can proceed accordingly.

    Liberty Home Guard proved their excellence a second time when my washing machine started leaking when I’d use it. Their home warranty has been a lifesaver for our family 3 years running. Over multiple claims and years, we’ve worked with Abigail on the Liberty Home Guard team, and she was an amazing help. Every time they use skilled technicians, who are very respectful, and clean. The repair in this instance for my washing machine was complicated, he took pretty much the entire thing apart, but in the end he fixed it! Thanks to Liberty Home Guard, my washing machine is back to working perfectly, and the entire cost was paid for by them. Thank you!

    I have had two issues over my 1 year of warranty and they have responded quickly and professionally. My issue is that their policy is written specifically to not cover installation of parts. Clause H.1.P says they do not cover: "p) Installation of parts of or the entirety of systems, appliances, and/or optional add-ons." So, when my refrigerator needed a part replaced, they paid for about 1/2 of the cost (the parts) and I paid for 1/2 (labor). So, beware when you buy this you will still be on the hook for 1/2 of most repairs.

    Paid $700 for a full year of Total Home Guard. Unexpectedly, one of my AC units broke down. Filed a claim and paid the $125 to get a technician over. Found that the compressor in the condenser failed, but the entire condenser would need to be replaced. The technician was courteous, knowledgeable. About a week later, I get an email from the Resolutions Department that the total cost would be over $5k and Liberty Home Guard would contribute $500 towards it. The "book value" of my AC was $0 because it's old. They don't cover the cost of installation for new equipment (anything that requires equipment like a crane, etc.). I didn't realize that I was going to have to be in a situation where this company was going to find every possible way to not cover a claim. I asked to cancel the policy and provide a refund and was told that they would submit my request to cancel. What?

    Today (9/14/23), I get a call from a retention specialist who offers me an additional $200 to the $500 they would contribute. I declined and asked to move forward with the cancellation. He finally agreed and said that he would submit the request to underwriting where they will prorate the month that I was a member plus an additional $50 from the total $700 I paid.

    This is a losing bet. This policy is suitable for new homes, but if you have a new home, you won't have breakdowns and most likely your warranties on the appliances will already be covered. I made an expensive mistake with Liberty Home Guard. I advise you to review any policy they propose before signing up. If your home is over 15 years old, I don't believe there's value with this company.

    I have had a home warranty with Liberty Home Guard for two years now. In that time, we have had three claims: one for a microwave, and twice for our dishwasher. The first claim for the dishwasher was a very simple parts replacement (basket that plastic snapped on), but was still somewhat painful with several delays. The claim for the microwave went relatively smoothly, but now the third claim, again for our dishwasher, has been a disaster. It has now been two weeks since the technician originally visited our home and recommended replacing the pump assembly. Despite more than five phone calls and sending several messages through both their online form and chat, I have received no response. The app just says that our claim is under review.

    I have twice been told by phone that I will be sent replacement and repair options within 24 hours. The last time I was told this was 1 week ago and we are still waiting. Think twice before doing business with this company. I know from reading the reviews that customers’ experience is variable, but be warned that my very recent experience has been extremely disappointing.
