If you own a swimming pool, you know how expensive upkeep, repairs, and replacement parts can be. A home warranty protects you financially against huge pool repair bills, so you can rest easy knowing you\u2019re covered and won\u2019t go into debt trying to maintain your relaxing haven.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, many consumers are worried about being ripped off, and for good reason. There are shady companies out there that pull one over on their customers and use complicated policies to deny claims or pay as little as possible for repairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I completely understand why most people would throw in the towel and bypass home warranty coverage, but some reputable companies stand behind their policies and keep it transparent \u2014 as it should be. After extensive research, secret shopping, and comparison, I\u2019ve compiled a list of the <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/home-finances\/reviews\/best-home-warranty\/\">best home warranty companies<\/a> for pools so you can find a home warranty policy that works for you, not against you. I\u2019ve rated these providers based on Today\u2019s Homeowner\u2019s unique review criteria, which includes crucial information such as plans and coverage, claims process, customer experience, and affordability. And don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m not holding back on my criticisms either. No company is perfect, and I\u2019m here to shed light on any policies that could lead to claim denials or frustration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-1ec44ac5\">\n<div

cap of up to $3,000 for pools. This is three to five times what most providers offer and ensures you\u2019re not paying part of the bill for expensive replacement parts. <\/li>\n<li>If you read anything in the provider\u2019s sample contract, read the exclusions, especially surrounding add-ons, because pool coverage is almost always considered an additional coverage item. There are catches and surprises most of the time. Be sure to look out for exclusions regarding your pool\u2019s cleaning equipment, whether maintenance records are required, and other disqualifications. <\/li>\n<li>If you have a saltwater pool, Liberty Home Guard is the only provider I\u2019ve seen offering comprehensive coverage for this luxe type of pool. They also offer affordable coverage for a second spa (less than $10 per month). <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-most-important-in-a-home-warranty-for-pools\">What\u2019s Most Important in a Home Warranty for Pools?<\/h2>\n<p>When your home has a pool, it\u2019s critical that you prioritize pool home warranty coverage, which usually covers normal wear and tear of equipment and components such as the motor, filter, heater, pump, plumbing, and electrical system. Another essential aspect is coverage for a spa if you have one. Many home warranty companies offer add-ons for pool and spa coverage. Since parts for these items are expensive to replace (a pool pump alone costs an average of $1,300 but can cos<strong>t as much as $4,000<\/strong>), a home warranty is a wise investment for homeowners looking to protect themselves financially should their pool and\/or spa need repairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If pool home warranty coverage is a must-have for you, look for providers with comprehensive add-on options and high coverage caps, as many pool repairs and replacements can cost thousands of dollars. If you don\u2019t choose a provider with high coverage caps, you may save money on your monthly premium (how much you pay each month to the home warranty provider). But when an expensive repair comes along, you may be left paying part of the bill if it\u2019s higher than the coverage outlined in your policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section id=\"th-tips-block_80d16bf079710b9b71325ca1087e9688\" class=\"th-block th-tips\" style=\"color: ; background-color: ;\">\n<div class=\"thTipsContainer\">\n<p>Today\u2019s Homeowner Tips<\/p>\n<p>            <strong> Expert Recommendation: <\/strong> I recommend American Home Shield because they offer $3,000 in pool coverage. Many providers only offer $500, which isn\u2019t enough to cover large pool repairs, so American Home Shield is my top pick to ensure you\u2019re financially protected against pricey pool repairs or replacing necessary parts. If you have a saltwater pool, go with Liberty Home Guard \u2014 the only provider I\u2019ve seen with that specialized coverage.         <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Learn more about American Home Shield\u2019s process and commitment to protecting your budget: <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"jlvid_container\"><iframe title=\"American Home Shield: Protecting Homeowners&#039; Budgets\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5lCm1SqzwDc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-home-warranty-companies-for-pools-i-don-t-recommend\">Home Warranty Companies for Pools I Don\u2019t Recommend<\/h3>\n<p>ServicePlus Home Warranty has several huge red flags that make it a company I\u2019d steer clear of.

These marketing tactics include advertising certain coverage but using deceptive means to avoid paying out claims, which completely defeats the purpose of having a home warranty for the

Pool owners can significantly benefit from AHS\u2019s pool and built-in spa add-on, which comes with <strong>up to $3,000 in coverage <\/strong>(six times what Liberty Home Guard provides). Plus, a home warranty from AHS provides up to $4,000 for appliance repair or replacement and up to $5,000 in coverage for systems such as your HVAC \u2014 a key home component we all tax whether we live in a cold or hot area.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another huge benefit is that AHS covers your home systems and appliances even if they have unknown preexisting conditions and no maintenance records. They also don\u2019t discriminate based on a component\u2019s age, so having an old pool heat pump or clothes washer won\u2019t impact your coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course, no home warranty provider is perfect, and AHS\u2019s weakness is its lower-than-average customer ratings, although their BBB accreditation smooths over some of my concern in this area. You\u2019ll want to keep in mind that your spa only receives coverage if it has the same shared systems as your pool. Otherwise, AHS will charge you separately for each item.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-680755e4 gb-tabs\" data-opened-tab=\"1\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-33285d81 gb-button-text gb-tabs__button gb-block-is-current\">What I Like<\/button><\/p>\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-d9d8211b gb-button-text gb-tabs__button\">What I Don\u2019t Like<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-e145cb47 gb-tabs__items\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-40fcd9cb gb-tabs__item gb-tabs__item-open\">\n<p>American Home Shield pays up to $3,000 for access, diagnosis, and repair or replacement of covered pool and built-in spa parts. This generous cap is far higher than providers such as Select Home Warranty, which max out at only $400 for add-on coverage, including for your pool and spa. AHS offers<strong> almost eight times<\/strong> what Select does for coverage, reassuring me that in most cases, they could pay for the entire pool repair or part replacement required. On top of this, AHS offers up to $4,000 in appliance coverage and up to $5,000 in home systems coverage (more than twice what Liberty Home Guard offers for HVAC systems).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition, AHS provides some of the best fringe benefits I\u2019ve seen a home warranty provider offer. For example, you receive rekey service for the price of your service fee with any of their plans. I don\u2019t know about you, but I probably don\u2019t change my keys as often as I should, so this is really handy. Other helpful benefits include indoor service and maintenance, discounts on air filters, and smart home and tech installation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-5fca56db gb-tabs__item\">\n<p>American Home Shield pays up to $3,000 per one-year term for access, diagnosis, and repair or replacement of covered freshwater pool equipment. This coverage extends to built-in spa equipment, but only if it shares equipment with your freshwater pool. If they don\u2019t share equipment and have separate pump and filtration systems, you must pay for another add-on to cover the spa. While this isn\u2019t uncommon in the industry, it\u2019s something that homeowners should be aware of as you\u2019ll want to assess whether or not your pool and spa share the same equipment when weighing whether or not AHS is the best choice for you and your budget.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/qiwFYWtepTRr9yJdHpx8p30Q_lDBOS3VOJCRCHIKUUOq0DCtj4jc0VQU74RPqscXAH6TpVyNoXp04C8hFkxvVX16FVtXHm5mk3ArpejnxfmVShyg6gtyNEQferkOmGiwFCiq8i6GsDQsC6n2Y7exptM\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/qiwFYWtepTRr9yJdHpx8p30Q_lDBOS3VOJCRCHIKUUOq0DCtj4jc0VQU74RPqscXAH6TpVyNoXp04C8hFkxvVX16FVtXHm5mk3ArpejnxfmVShyg6gtyNEQferkOmGiwFCiq8i6GsDQsC6n2Y7exptM\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>Another drawback is that AHS has a lower customer satisfaction rating than I\u2019d like.

Plus, the pool add-on comes with a generous $3,000 in coverage, far more than any provider I\u2019ve seen offer. In addition to the pool add-on, I recommend AHS\u2019s ShieldPlatinum plan as it comes with a vast number of member benefits, such as free roof leak coverage, unlimited AC refrigerant, coverage for code violations, and even a free HVAC tune-up to help you stay on top your HVAC maintenance needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Plan<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Monthly Cost*<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Service Fee*<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Available Discounts<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>ShieldSilver<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>$29.99, 39.99\u00a0<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>$100, $125<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Same-day discount of $125 off first year (website), 40% off ShieldGold plan (website)<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>ShieldGold<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>$49.99, 59.99\u00a0<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>$100, $125<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Same-day discount of $125 off first year (website), 40% off ShieldGold plan (website)<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>ShieldPlatinum<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>$79.99, 89.99<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>$100, $125<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Same-day discount of $125 off first year(website), 40% off ShieldGold plan (website)<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p><em>*Lower monthly costs \u201cpair\u201d with higher services fees.

AHS\u2019s pool coverage is a standout, with $3,000 for only $18 monthly. By comparison, Liberty Home Guard charges $19.99 per month and only offers $500 in pool coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, AHS\u2019s ShieldPlatinum plan is pretty pricey, but it includes roof leak coverage free of added charge, which you would otherwise pay an extra $10 per month for, which balances the price out. The extensive coverage for your HVAC system, electrical system, kitchen appliances, plumbing, and even electronics such as your doorbell and garage door opener isn\u2019t offered to the same extent by most providers, so the above-average price is worth it. You even receive a free HVAC tune-up and other member benefits if you opt for the ShieldPlatinum plan, so the value is there. Plus, AHS frequently offers online deals to make their plans less expensive. While I was secret shopping for this article, I was offered 40% off my first year with a ShieldGold plan, which lowered the monthly cost to only $30 a month. This is less expensive than most providers on this list, so don\u2019t be afraid to look around on AHS\u2019s website or ask a customer service representative about ongoing deals and discounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ef3112ab gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-22ea78df gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Customer Experience: 8.1\/10<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-9ba47ba0\">\n<p>American Home Shield is known as the founder of the home warranty industry and has over 50 years of experience in the field.

Unlike working with Elite Home Warranty, you don\u2019t have to worry about waiting for a customer service representative to get back to you to receive a quote. It\u2019s generated instantly on AHS\u2019s website. One of AHS\u2019s other pros is that they have only a 30-day waiting period, meaning you only wait one month until your coverage takes effect and your pool, along with other home appliances and systems, are protected. Liberty Home Guard has a longer waiting period, leaving more room for preexisting conditions or other issues to arise. I like that AHS offers a shorter waiting period, so you have less worry about your pool breaking down and not being covered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-78737044 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-30a06fce gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Company Reputation: 7.3\/10<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-a1fe1104\">\n<p>American Home Shield has a solid reputation with a BBB accreditation and a fantastic 53 years of experience in the industry, which is far more than providers such as Elite Home Warranty, with a mere four years of experience.

AHS\u2019s coverage doesn\u2019t extend to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Construction or carpentry costs<\/li>\n<li>Restoration of walls<\/li>\n<li>Flues, chimneys, venting, and exhaust lines<\/li>\n<li>Repairs or replacements due to cosmetic defects<\/li>\n<li>Repairs due to mold<\/li>\n<li>Natural disasters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: While this article highlights certain exclusions, it\u2019s imperative for readers to review their contracts as the mentioned exclusions are not exhaustive, and additional exclusions may apply.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-59c50086 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-89505ba3 gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Flexibility in Service Providers: 5\/10<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ec80bafa\">\n<p>American Home Shield receives a 5 out of 10 score for their flexibility in service providers, which isn\u2019t ideal. Some home warranty companies allow you to choose your own service contractor for repairs or replacements, which is a nice benefit if you\u2019ve worked with technicians in your area before and were happy with the results. Unfortunately, AHS doesn\u2019t typically allow you to pick your contractor. They almost always assign the contractor to your case, although there may be occasional exceptions where AHS authorizes you to pick a technician with their approval.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-3a706d11 gb-headline-text provider-box\"><a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/home-finances\/reviews\/american-home-shield\/\">Read our full American Home Shield review<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-9ecbcd85\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ae7310e8\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-a1c5dcba\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-68e5d0eb\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-68e5d0eb\">\n<p>Best for Customization<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-1e790e41 gb-headline-text\">Liberty Home Guard<\/h3>\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-8a6fa0e3 gb-headline-text\">4.6<\/p>\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-22b15352 gb-headline-text\">Our Rating<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-3fdd3eb9 border-dash\">\n<p><strong>Limited Time:<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>$200 Off + 2 Months free + Free Roof Leak Coverage<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Liberty Home Guard is my top recommendation if you have a saltwater pool because it offers coverage for this home feature, which is unique in the home warranty industry. They also offer comprehensive coverage options for freshwater pools and spas and affordable coverage for a second spa at only $9.99 per month. Overall, this affordable provider offers customizable plans that ensure you\u2019re not overpaying for things you don\u2019t need.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I love their claim process, which features a mobile app for claim submission and updates. Liberty Home Guard takes as little as 12 hours to respond to claims \u2014 far less time than many providers, who take 24 or 48 hours to respond to claims. This fast response time is ideal when your pool breaks down mid-summer and you\u2019re missing out on precious time relaxing or entertaining kids.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, Liberty Home Guard only offers up to $2,000 in HVAC coverage and as little as $500 for some items such as your plumbing and electrical systems and pool. While any coverage is better than no coverage, $500 isn\u2019t sufficient to cover many repairs. Some pool items, including cleaning systems, ionizers, and jets aren\u2019t covered either, so be sure to closely read your policy and check what is and isn\u2019t covered regarding your pool before enrolling with Liberty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b6a19f5b gb-tabs\" data-opened-tab=\"1\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-adabc3a7 gb-button-text gb-tabs__button gb-block-is-current\">What I Like<\/button><\/p>\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-c2e411d6 gb-button-text gb-tabs__button\">What I Don\u2019t Like<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-2e4faabe gb-tabs__items\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d249a59c gb-tabs__item gb-tabs__item-open\">\n<p>Liberty Home Guard is the only provider I\u2019ve seen that offers saltwater pool coverage. Home warranty companies such as American Home Shield and Choice Home Warranty specifically exclude saltwater pools. If you are in the unique position of owning a saltwater pool \u2014 after all, who doesn\u2019t love how saltwater can actually feel softer, not to mention it\u2019s gentler on the eyes and skin \u2014 Liberty Home Guard is your best bet for coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Liberty\u2019s amazing customization options extend to their choice of plans and other add-ons. You can pick from three comprehensive plans that cover common appliances. Choice Home Warranty\u2019s Basic Plan doesn\u2019t even cover your air conditioning system or refrigerator \u2014 two things I definitely don\u2019t want unprotected. Fortunately, you don\u2019t have to worry about common appliances being excluded with Liberty, especially if you opt for their Total Home Guard plan, which covers appliances and home systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-212c2d09 gb-tabs__item\">\n<p>Liberty Home Guard has extensive exclusions for their pool and spa equipment add-on. Some of the most notable exclusions are jets, heat pumps, and cleaning equipment such as your pool sweeps, ionizers, or chlorinators. All of these can be incredibly expensive to repair. For example, the average cost of pool repairs is nearly $700, but a pool skimmer can cost <strong>$1,200 or more<\/strong> (which Liberty excludes from their coverage).\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/JXUVtYdl5ktZvHSlyMhD9k4iA5xHXO5I8XnyREN7lYHocE7JazQxJ9O4nNO4D3bj1-kaNzRi2DqUdbGHTVnfp2J84RQt-GyQkXn4HiIvXoUSKauxA0FSy23Omh5dUtOlqv3N69Ia8h_qi9ozW7VmydY\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/JXUVtYdl5ktZvHSlyMhD9k4iA5xHXO5I8XnyREN7lYHocE7JazQxJ9O4nNO4D3bj1-kaNzRi2DqUdbGHTVnfp2J84RQt-GyQkXn4HiIvXoUSKauxA0FSy23Omh5dUtOlqv3N69Ia8h_qi9ozW7VmydY\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>The other con with Liberty Home Guard is their lower coverage limits. A coverage limit or cap determines the maximum a company will pay for a covered item. With Liberty, your home\u2019s plumbing or electrical systems receive only $500 in coverage, which isn\u2019t enough to cover many repairs and certainly not a significant replacement. In this case, you\u2019d be responsible for paying anything beyond that $500 to fix or replace your plumbing system. Personally, I prioritize high coverage caps because I don\u2019t want to be in this situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8a7035e5 gb-accordion\" data-accordion-multiple-open=\"\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d611f17e gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-da53a45d gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Plans and Coverage: 10\/10<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8bcf5a13\">\n<p>If you own a swimming pool, Liberty is hard to beat with its highly customizable plans.

Our team found that, between emails and phone calls, we usually received upwards of five follow-ups, which is enough to get on my nerves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d30e334c gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-b05aae64 gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Company Reputation: 9\/10<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-f421c039\">\n<p>Liberty Home Guard has an unparalleled customer reputation that few providers come close to. They have a near-perfect score with Trustpilot from over 3,300 reviews and a fantastic 4.49-star rating from the Better Business Bureau. Many home warranty companies, such as American Home Shield, receive an average of two stars from third-party review websites such as Yelp and Trustpilot, so Liberty truly stands out for its top-notch company reputation. In addition, they\u2019ve had far fewer customer complaints to the Better Business Bureau than most. For example, American Home Shield has had 24,313 complaints in three years, while Liberty had less than a thousand. While Liberty is a smaller company, this is still a pronounced difference, demonstrating LHG\u2019s dedication to customers. Most complaints point out that Liberty Home Guard has low coverage caps and that they charged some customers multiple service fees. However, most reviews were positive, with many citing Liberty\u2019s high-quality customer service and the fact that contractors were easy to work with, knowledgeable, and provided excellent work and service.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Rating Site<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Rating<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Number of Reviews<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>BBB<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>NR* \/ 4.48 out of 5 stars<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>2,498<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Trustpilot<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>4.7 out of 5 stars<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>2,790<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Yelp<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>1.3 out of 5 stars<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>67<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: The ratings provided were accurate at the time of writing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>*Note (as of 5\/14\/24): Recently, the Better Business Bureau shifted LHG\u2019s A+ rating to \u201cNR\u201d (Not Rated). We reached out to a representative from LHG for comment and they shared this statement: \u201cDespite the BBB\u2019s alert, our customer satisfaction levels remain by far the highest relative to our scale. Last month, we had the lowest percentage of customer cancellation requests in our entire history. On the BBB\u2019s own platform, Liberty Home Guard has achieved a star rating of 4.5 out of 5 from nearly 2,500 reviews. For added context, the approximately 480 resolved complaints on Liberty Home Guard\u2019s BBB profile equate to an extremely low fraction of a percentage relative to the size and scale of our total customer base. As we navigate this situation, which we believe will be resolved in time, we want to assure you that we remain committed to our customers and their satisfaction; they are the key stakeholders we orient all our efforts around.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-09a9c322 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-3e0cffbc gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Claims Process: 10\/10<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-45a42b72\">\n<p>I\u2019ve given Liberty Home Guard a perfect score for their claims process, which is more flexible, convenient, and straightforward than that of any other provider I\u2019ve researched.

But in addition, LHG has a user-friendly mobile app where you can submit claims and check on your claim status, which I\u2019ve yet to see more home warranty providers offer. On top of this, LHG has an average claims response time of only 12 hours per our team\u2019s experience with secret shopping. I can\u2019t stress enough how outstanding this is, as most providers take 24 to 48 hours if not longer, to get back to you.

Plus, Choice Home Warranty has one of the best and most extensive workmanship guarantees on the market, with up to 90 days for parts and 60 days for labor. This means that you have two to three months to report issues with your repaired pool, appliance, or home system, and Choice will come out (without charging you another service fee), reassess your pool, and correct the issue. Most home warranty providers only give you 30 days to report a problem, so this exceptional workmanship guarantee gives me a lot of peace of mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-4a613e10 gb-tabs__item\">\n<p>Like American Home Shield, Choice Home Warranty doesn\u2019t offer coverage for saltwater pools or your spa equipment if they don\u2019t utilize common equipment. If this is the case, you\u2019d need to pay an additional fee for coverage for both your pool and spa.

Another reason Choice scores so highly in this category is because of their high claim acceptance rate.

However, you\u2019ll want to keep in mind that Select\u2019s add-on only comes with up to $400 of coverage. While this is comparable to providers such as Liberty Home Guard, other companies such as American Home Shield offer up to $3,000 in pool coverage, making them a better choice if you want more comprehensive coverage or greater peace of mind (although AHS\u2019s add-on does cost $18 per month, so keep this in mind).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In terms of value, Select\u2019s plans typically cost less than $50 per month, and all come with free roof leak coverage, increasing the plan\u2019s usefulness as roof repairs are notoriously expensive. However, you\u2019ll have to keep detailed maintenance and cleaning records, especially when it comes to your HVAC system, as Select can ask for these at any time before approving a claim for complete compensation. While this isn\u2019t unheard of in the industry, it\u2019s a frustrating condition that can lead to claim denials (and ultimately a reduced payout or none at all).\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7d518d3a gb-tabs\" data-opened-tab=\"1\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-1a588591 gb-button-text gb-tabs__button gb-block-is-current\">What I Like<\/button><\/p>\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-868a02fe gb-button-text gb-tabs__button\">What I Don\u2019t Like<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-5e6f7a85 gb-tabs__items\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-f0e3a69e gb-tabs__item gb-tabs__item-open\">\n<p>At less than $50 per month for all of its plans during my secret shopping for coverage for a two-bedroom home, Select delivers a lot of value for a lower price point than most home warranty providers. Plus, you receive up to $3,000 in HVAC coverage, which is $1,000 more than Liberty Home Guard \u2014 and they almost always cost more per month than Select.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pool owners can significantly benefit from Select\u2019s affordable pool add-on, which is only $8.33 monthly. Most providers, such as American Home Shield, charge close to $20 per month for pool coverage, so this is an excellent deal. On top of this, Select includes free roof leak coverage with all of their plans, which saves you even more monthly and is a great way to protect yourself financially against expensive roof repairs and water damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-3031a35c gb-tabs__item\">\n<p>Select is the most budget-friendly provider on this list, but their coverage caps are poor. For example, you only receive up to $400 in coverage for repairs or replacements for add-on items, per the contract language excerpted below. This includes your pool. The cost of a swimming pool heater alone can easily exceed $400 and even cost as much as double that, so this isn\u2019t sufficient for complete equipment replacements or major repairs. This provider also has frustrating maintenance record requirements, which can lead to claim denials if you don\u2019t keep up with document maintenance and cleaning of your pool, home systems, and appliances.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/r4sKRbMJBIeDTYl2uQZKsyF0C0eQFbs83dkkX8NS_HMblGbYhInr7Q_Hkf9lBf7jnAv8KzTQcgOQwwGgQfY6PT-MZ-xWk6mAYnp-n1Dsl1MVWvin_rEx3Jx3oyAYd02qdsFH0_RPI_ZYmUErFOsi2ew\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/r4sKRbMJBIeDTYl2uQZKsyF0C0eQFbs83dkkX8NS_HMblGbYhInr7Q_Hkf9lBf7jnAv8KzTQcgOQwwGgQfY6PT-MZ-xWk6mAYnp-n1Dsl1MVWvin_rEx3Jx3oyAYd02qdsFH0_RPI_ZYmUErFOsi2ew\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-bccb9526 gb-accordion\" data-accordion-multiple-open=\"\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-2a463211 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-982125dc gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Plans and Coverage: 8.3\/10<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-fc5bc53a\">\n<p>Select Home Warranty offers a variety of plans, with their Platinum Care plan being my preferred choice as it\u2019s only a few dollars more than their lower-tier plans and offers significantly more coverage.

With it, you can quickly choose a plan and add-ons, such as one for your pool, and see your total monthly cost, making shopping a breeze.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-72dc9b65 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-7e753ee4 gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Company Reputation: 7.7\/10<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-3106d4b8\">\n<p>Select Home Warranty has a satisfactory company reputation, with a positive 3.8-star rating from nearly 5,000 reviewers on Trustpilot. Happy customers were thrilled with efficient and personable customer service representatives that quickly answered their questions without making them feel like they were being read to from a script. I even saw a review about a customer receiving <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/home-finances\/reviews\/best-home-warranty-for-seniors\/\">a special seniors-only policy<\/a>, which saved them hundreds of dollars per year, so if you\u2019re a senior, I\u2019d definitely ask about this. On the other hand, negative reviews criticized Select for wriggling out of reimbursing them for repairs with frustrating exclusions such as the appliance not being installed properly or maintained.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Rating Site<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Rating<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>Number of Reviews<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>BBB<\/em><\/td>\n<td>B\u00a0 \/ 1.33 out of 5 stars<\/td>\n<td>2,089<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Trustpilot<\/em><\/td>\n<td>3.7 out of 5 stars<\/td>\n<td>4,855<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Yelp<\/em><\/td>\n<td>1.0 out of 5 stars<\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: The ratings provided were accurate at the time of writing.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-add4cbc8 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-add30fc3 gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Claims Process: 7\/10<\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ce02ec60\">\n<p>Select Home Warranty receives an average rating of seven for their claims process.

While I like that they have a clearly posted sample contract online, their exclusions are extensive and confusing. For example, you must keep up with cleaning your home systems, such as your HVAC system, and even take pictures to demonstrate how you kept up with cleaning and maintenance. Select can ask for these records at any time before approving a claim. While this isn\u2019t unheard of in this industry, it\u2019s a pain for homeowners to keep on top of. Without these records, you may only receive a partial reimbursement. This is a massive letdown when you rely on HVAC coverage to prevent situations where you need to shell out <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/hvac\/cost\/hvac-installation-cost\/\">$5,500 to $11,000<\/a> to replace the system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exclusions-2\">Exclusions<\/h5>\n<p>An important exclusion for pool owners to note is that Select Home Warranty requires maintenance records demonstrating that you kept up with maintenance and cleaning of home systems, appliances, and your pool.

Many providers, such as Liberty Home Guard or Select Home Warranty, max out at $400 to $500 \u2014 meaning Elite offers up to three times the coverage of these providers. Another benefit of Elite is that their pool coverage is far more comprehensive than most providers and covers items such as pumps, heating systems, and pool housings. However, it doesn\u2019t cover your pool if the repairs are due to a lack of maintenance, structural defects, or corroded casings, so keep this in mind when choosing between providers.

Elite Complete is a valuable plan that costs around $10 to $15 more than Elite\u2019s other plans but covers significantly more components of your home, protecting you financially. Not only this, but depending on the plan and add-ons you select, you can receive up to $6,000 in appliance coverage and up to $10,000 in home system coverage. I\u2019ve only seen American Home Shield offer coverage close to this.
