This is why a home warranty for garage doors can be a lifesaver so you never have to stress about getting it fixed as soon as possible. A garage door home warranty covers items like your garage door opener and sometimes parts of the garage door, giving you financial protection in the event it suddenly breaks down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That said,\u00a0 digging into home warranty contracts for specific coverage options can be daunting,\u00a0 especially if you\u2019ve seen others in your life burned by less reputable companies. The secret is finding home warranty companies that are transparent with their policies and do what they say they will \u2014 namely, fixing your garage door.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, I\u2019ve done the work for you by spending countless hours secret shopping, researching, and reading through 30+ page sample contracts. The following <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/home-finances\/reviews\/best-home-warranty\/\">best home warranty companies<\/a> for garage doors are ranked using Today\u2019s Homeowner\u2019s

Guard stands out for its garage door coverage. Two out of three of its plans offer this coverage up to $500, which is more than many home warranty companies offer.<\/li>\n<li>Look for exclusions regarding garage doors. Most home warranty companies provide coverage for garage door opener systems but won\u2019t cover the costs of replacing the garage door or tracks. <\/li>\n<li>If a manufacturer\u2019s warranty currently covers your garage door, don\u2019t bother with a home warranty just for the sake of your garage door. Instead, choose a home warranty plan if you want coverage on your home systems or appliances or wait until the manufacturer\u2019s warranty is just about to expire, then enroll in a plan with garage door coverage. <\/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-garage-doors\">What\u2019s Most Important in a Home Warranty for Garage Doors?<\/h2>\n<p>A home warranty for garage doors protects you financially should your garage door or the garage door opener system fail. Most home warranty providers don\u2019t cover the costs of the garage door or tracks but offer coverage for your garage door opener system, so you\u2019re not locked out of your garage on a sweltering summer day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Look for home warranty providers with flexible plans that provide coverage for garage doors. Some providers only have one plan or add-on option for garage doors, while others, like American Home Shield, include this critical coverage with all their plans. Read the exclusions closely. Some providers have tricky exclusions, while others cover all the mechanical and motorized components of your garage door opener, so make sure you find a company with the latter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section id=\"th-tips-block_a6067fb9fb0fcd09730175b1b8ce0110\" 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> Liberty Home Guard is my recommendation for garage door coverage as it comes with $500 for garage door openers with two out of three of their plans.

They don\u2019t cover opener remote controls, and even worse, they don\u2019t clearly state the amount of coverage your garage door opener receives. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/us\/mo\/wentzville\/profile\/home-warranty-plans\/us-home-guard-0734-1000019714\">Better Business Bureau<\/a> has an active consumer alert about them, alleging that the US Home Guard uses misleading marketing materials and consumers consistently receive unsolicited advertising from them.

Both come with up to $500 in protection, which is ample enough for most garage door opener repairs or replacements. I love that Liberty has over 40 add-ons, including fantastic options like carpet cleaning, window washing, and power washing your exterior garage flooring, too.\u00a0 I\u2019ve yet to see another provider that matches Liberty\u2019s flexibility and interesting customization options, so this is my preferred home warranty company if you have unique features around your home and want extra peace of mind that they\u2019re fully covered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, LHG has lower coverage caps than I\u2019d like to see. Your HVAC system only receives up to $2,000 in coverage, which is lower than providers like American Home Shield or Elite Home Warranty, which offer at least twice as much coverage. Still, Liberty trumps these providers with their faster-than-average claims response time of only 12 hours, making them a strong option when you don\u2019t want to wait around for repairs with a garage door that won\u2019t open for days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Liberty Home Guard\u2019s process in this quick video on their home warranty plans: <\/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=\"Best Home Warranty Plans | Liberty Home Guard\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SyhB6cIhll8?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<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 an excellent provider if you\u2019re looking for flexible plans with unique coverage.

I\u2019ve never seen other providers offer these unique options, so definitely take advantage of Liberty\u2019s customization (over 40 available add-ons!)\u00a0 if you have uncommon features around your home and garage and want that extra peace of mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For garage door opener coverage, you can opt for Liberty\u2019s Appliance Guard or Total Home Guard plan. I recommend the latter as it includes coverage for your home appliances, garage door opener, and home systems like your HVAC, which is costly to repair and something you don\u2019t want to be left without.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-212c2d09 gb-tabs__item\">\n<p>While LHG covers garage door openers, you can\u2019t secure coverage for the garage door itself, including the hinges, chains, travelers, tracks, and rollers.

During my secret shopping, LHG offered me $200 off when I enrolled today, along with free roof leak coverage and two months free.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8960402a gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-5eaa64fe gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Customer Experience: 7.5\/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-24c42fed\">\n<p>Liberty\u2019s instant quote process is fast, delivering a quick quote with detailed information and plan breakdowns, making their shopping process one of my favorites.

Few home warranty companies receive four stars or more on review websites. Liberty receives nearly 4.5 stars from BBB reviewers and a tremendous 4.7-star rating from Trustpilot (more than double what American Home Shield is currently rated). Positive reviews praise Liberty for their high-quality repairs, professional technicians, and customer service, who were happy to answer any questions, which I really appreciate as a homeowner who wants to understand the process and what went wrong with my broken-down garage door opener. Many reviewers note that Liberty has low-pressure communication, so you don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re being sold every step of the way. In contrast, negative reviews complain about low coverage caps, which weren\u2019t enough to cover replacement costs of many appliances or home systems, and long wait times for repairs.\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\u00a0<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>2,461<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Trustpilot<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>4.7<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>2,811<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Yelp<\/em><\/td>\n<td><em>1.3<\/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><em>*Note (as of 6\/20\/24): Recently, the Better Business Bureau shifted LHG\u2019s A+ rating to \u201cNR\u201d (Not Rated).

They even offer a mobile app, which I\u2019ve yet to see other home warranty providers jump on board with, despite most of us always having our smartphones with us. The best part of their claims process is their speedy response time, which our team at Today\u2019s Homeowner has found to take around 12 hours, anywhere from half to a fourth of the time many providers take. Their intuitive app makes submitting claims, checking on the claim status, and watching for incoming payments easy, but you can submit claims over the phone with customer service or online if you prefer. Overall, I appreciate Liberty\u2019s dedication to quick turnarounds, as none of us want to spend days locked out of our garage or having our garage door stuck open and exposed.\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\/docsz\/AD_4nXcc0jbsSXDLnEZion3cC1_XM6Ak4WRZISjyxDDAU4nQJjU-nuB9qbjNo8fB0bUdxfJfQWwjqB4bq0OCKImdvKa2coaHB4wRl1ZAsdaV-rb_IiWl7XOy12fPromksWLFy3BSFfmovBfvFLyvHRGdxLdjQa3S?key=NaDuTZJ0yPM3VKcxQ9xL9Q\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXcc0jbsSXDLnEZion3cC1_XM6Ak4WRZISjyxDDAU4nQJjU-nuB9qbjNo8fB0bUdxfJfQWwjqB4bq0OCKImdvKa2coaHB4wRl1ZAsdaV-rb_IiWl7XOy12fPromksWLFy3BSFfmovBfvFLyvHRGdxLdjQa3S?key=NaDuTZJ0yPM3VKcxQ9xL9Q\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-e3caf4f4 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-c0fd1c6d gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Transparency &amp; Ease of Use: 9.3\/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-1da4ef6c\">\n<p>I\u2019ve given Liberty Home Guard close to a perfect score in this category because they have a clearly posted, simpler sample policy that is easy to read and understand, especially compared to providers like Elite Home Warranty.

Unlike Liberty Home Guard, which only provides $500 for garage door openers, you receive a comfortable coverage cap of up to $1,000 for garage door openers with AHS, depending on your plan. Plus, all AHS\u2019 plans cover garage door openers, so you can choose between an appliance-only plan, systems-only plan, or ShieldPlatinum plan, which covers both. This gives you far greater flexibility than other providers who typically offer garage door opener coverage with one or two plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, AHS has some of the most unique and valuable member benefits available, especially with their ShieldPlatinum plan. You receive a free HVAC tune-up, rekeys, and partner discounts, an impressive $5,000 in heating and air conditioner systems coverage, and up to $4,000 for appliances. You also don\u2019t have to worry about code violations, permits, and modifications. AHS covers up to $250 for these issues, often an exclusion that leads to claim denials with other providers. The ShieldPlatinujm plan even comes with free roof leak repairs up to $1,000 (not available for covered homes in Hawaii), which most providers have you pay for, and they usually offer a maximum of $500 in coverage at that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I strongly recommend American Home Shield for garage door opener coverage and other fantastic coverage options for your roof, appliances, and home systems. While they are a bit pricier than other home warranty companies, and I don\u2019t love some of the poor customer review ratings on Trustpilot and Yelp, they are a BBB-accredited provider. They provide so many unique member benefits and coverage that give me much greater peace of mind.\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>All three of American Home Shield\u2019s plans cover garage door openers. This coverage includes all parts and components of your electrically powered garage door opener and the extension and torsion springs. Since the average cost to repair a garage door opener is between $300 and $500, I\u2019m glad that AHS includes this coverage with all their plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I love that American Home Shield isn\u2019t as strict about their exclusions, meaning more appliance, home system, or garage door breakdowns are covered. For example, many home warranty companies exclude the following, but AHS covers these: improper installation or repair, insufficient maintenance, rust, corrosion, or sediment. Many companies, like Liberty Home Guard, exclude these situations, leaving you paying for garage door openers or appliance repairs out of pocket if you don\u2019t adequately maintain and clean your appliances.

For example, the Basic Plan doesn\u2019t cover your refrigerator or laundry appliances like your washer and dryer \u2014 which I certainly don\u2019t want to be left without when I\u2019m getting ready to make dinner or have piles of smelly clothing needing a quick wash.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A big pro of going with Choice is their high claims acceptance rate. A claims acceptance rate is the percentage of claims a provider approves, meaning the customer (you) gets the payout to have your appliance or home system repaired or replaced. This is a critical aspect of selecting any home warranty company because if your claims aren\u2019t approved, then there\u2019s no use in being with the provider in the first place. I love that customers frequently praise Choice for their high claims acceptance rate, which gives me peace of mind.\u00a0<br \/>On the other hand, I don\u2019t love that Choice has low coverage caps. While they are a more affordable provider, I still wish they offered higher coverage. For example, your septic tank pumping only receives up to $250 in coverage, but this can <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/plumbing\/cost\/septic-tank-pumping-cost\/\">cost as much as $600<\/a>, leaving you paying $350 out-of-pocket.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-5c079386 gb-tabs\" data-opened-tab=\"1\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-00878a0a gb-button-text gb-tabs__button gb-block-is-current\">What I Like<\/button><\/p>\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-aa8abbe7 gb-button-text gb-tabs__button\">What I Don\u2019t Like<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-57e24bdc gb-tabs__items\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-f85b1b17 gb-tabs__item gb-tabs__item-open\">\n<p>This affordable provider offers two plan options with garage door opener coverage and a high claims acceptance rate, which increases the odds of them approving your claim and paying out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CHW has an outstanding workmanship guarantee of 90 days for parts and 60 days for labor. This policy saves you from paying another service fee in the case that a covered repair or replacement fails within those periods. This guarantee is more than generous as most providers only give you 30 days. They also claim to handle all customer complaints within 24 hours, so you won\u2019t be left parked outside your garage for a week while you wait for Choice to get back to you. Their terms and conditions even share that they make every reasonable effort to contact you within four hours for an appointment, which is super convenient when your dishwasher is leaking all over the place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-4a613e10 gb-tabs__item\">\n<p>Choice Home Warranty has low coverage caps. For example, you only receive up to $500 in coverage for your septic system, which includes the cost of access and diagnosis. However, a septic system replacement can easily cost between <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/plumbing\/cost\/septic-tank-installation-cost\/\">$3,500 and $11,000<\/a>, so you would be left paying thousands of dollars out-of-pocket for this replacement, even with home warranty coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another downside to Choice is that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azag.gov\/press-release\/ag-brnovich-files-consumer-fraud-lawsuit-against-home-warranty-company\">Arizona Attorney General<\/a> has filed a lawsuit against them, alleging they have committed consumer fraud.

I wish their online quote calculator provided you with quotes for both plans on the same page, so you didn\u2019t have to go back and forth between web pages, but otherwise, the customer experience I had was solid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7b9474f9 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-6b2f1d9e gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Company Reputation: 8\/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-8bb26d34\">\n<p>Choice Home Warranty has a good reputation with a B rating from the Better Business Bureau and close to a four-star rating on Trustpilot. Where they fall short is the current, pending lawsuit against them alleging that they have misleading information about how fast Choice will repair your appliances and how much they\u2019ll pay out. While this is discouraging to read, it is ongoing, so I only give it some weight in my review of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Positive reviews highlight Choice\u2019s professional customer service agents, high claim acceptance rates, and fast repair appointments. This makes me happy when I think about my garage door being stuck and leaving my home exposed to pests, the elements, and theft. In contrast, negative reviews note that policyholders needed to repeatedly open their claims to have them approved, which isn\u2019t ideal when dealing with a leaking washer machine.\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>B\/1.04<\/em><\/td>\n<td>4,483<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Trustpilot<\/em><\/td>\n<td>3.7<\/td>\n<td>39,554<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em>Yelp<\/em><\/td>\n<td>1.0<\/td>\n<td>173<\/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-bfd6a497 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-e2a30012 gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Claims Process: 8.5\/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-1b698630\">\n<p>CHW has an exceptional claims process, primarily for their frequently praised fast claim turnaround and repairs and their workmanship guarantee after a claim is addressed.

This is a bummer if you\u2019re looking for a cheaper plan option or just home system or appliance coverage. Some providers, like American Home Shield, provide coverage for garage door openers with all their plans, which gives you greater flexibility than Select. That said, Select\u2019s prices can\u2019t be beat. According to my secret shopping for a two-bedroom home, they offer three plan options for less than $50.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The other big drawback to SHW is their low coverage caps. Many appliances only receive up to $500 in coverage, which may be enough for your garage door opener but likely isn\u2019t enough to replace your stove or oven. Plus, you have to worry about keeping up with routine maintenance and cleaning records and ensure your garage door opener and covered items don\u2019t have preexisting conditions if you want coverage. I\u2019m not the greatest at staying on top of cleaning during the busy holiday season, so this stresses me out a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re on a tight budget, though, Select is my recommendation.

All of this is offered at a low monthly premium of less than $50, making them more cost-effective than the average home warranty provider.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, you don\u2019t have to wait long for your coverage to start with SHW. Some providers have 60-day wait periods after you enroll before your coverage takes effect. But Select\u2019s coverage begins after 30 days, giving you a smaller window for your garage door opener to break down before your coverage is effective.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>comprehensive appliance coverage for kitchen and laundry appliances, is my favorite Select plan for appliance coverage. It\u2019s hard to beat the number of appliances Select covers at their low cost. Plus, nearly all providers make you pay an additional fee for roof leak coverage (often about $10 a month or $120 yearly), so the included free roof leak coverage with all of Select\u2019s plans is a significant savings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-3031a35c gb-tabs__item\">\n<p>While Select Home Warranty has decent HVAC coverage of up to $3,000, better than more expensive providers like Liberty Home Guard, many of their coverage limits are subpar.

Their priciest plan is $47.75 per month, according to my secret shopping for a two-bedroom single-family home, which is a few dollars less than the national average for home warranty premiums. In addition, Select\u2019s most comprehensive plan is $30 cheaper than American Home Shield\u2019s starting price for their combination plan based on quotes I received for the same property.

Garage door openers receive a generous coverage limit of $1,000, which is two to five times higher than other providers on the market.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On top of all this, Elite has top-notch customer satisfaction ratings with nearly perfect five-star ratings from three reputable third-party websites and a BBB accreditation. I\u2019ve yet to see any home warranty provider match these high ratings, so this is truly exceptional and worth noting, as how a company treats its customers behind the scenes speaks volumes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, I don\u2019t love that Elite excludes commercial-grade appliances. You also won\u2019t receive coverage for keypads or garage door-related items, which isn\u2019t unusual in this industry but still worth sharing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-553a17e0 gb-tabs\" data-opened-tab=\"1\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-2db3478f gb-button-text gb-tabs__button gb-block-is-current\">What I Like<\/button><\/p>\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-3084f7c8 gb-button-text gb-tabs__button\">What I Don\u2019t Like<\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7c56575d gb-tabs__items\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-0713fd08 gb-tabs__item gb-tabs__item-open\">\n<p>Elite Home Warranty offers comprehensive garage door opener coverage, including all the components and parts needed to be fully functional, including the motors, relays, springs, switches, and control boards. This coverage is more extensive than many providers regarding the garage door opener itself and protects you should you get shut out of your home. Plus, their coverage limits for garage door openers are much higher at up to $1,000. Many providers offer between $200 and $500 in garage door opener coverage, so this much higher coverage gives me peace of mind that Elite could truly cover the costs of repairing or replacing the entire garage door opener.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-f1aca5f0 gb-tabs__item\">\n<p>Elite has more garage-door-related exclusions than most providers in this guide. While it\u2019s common for the garage door to be excluded, they also don\u2019t include the door track assembly, keypad, sensors, wall buttons, and more.\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\/docsz\/AD_4nXdZA9LeXxXCQXbW2vz1z9cNH5bcVqH0-5FwGi2vCYHj-79Yc00ta5mYT3SfSk42mfM1lT3uK2byqyPS_pul4nucNoP5fhomnwxQBLoA4gTghrBpkcv1WkxDjqAyBh90XpH9CbH3PTER7kih8uC6uXRs2BbV?key=NaDuTZJ0yPM3VKcxQ9xL9Q\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdZA9LeXxXCQXbW2vz1z9cNH5bcVqH0-5FwGi2vCYHj-79Yc00ta5mYT3SfSk42mfM1lT3uK2byqyPS_pul4nucNoP5fhomnwxQBLoA4gTghrBpkcv1WkxDjqAyBh90XpH9CbH3PTER7kih8uC6uXRs2BbV?key=NaDuTZJ0yPM3VKcxQ9xL9Q\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>In addition to these exclusions, Elite won\u2019t cover commercial-grade appliances or items that aren\u2019t properly maintained or cleaned.

For garage door openers, your most cost-effective option is the Elite Systems plan, which starts at $49.99 per month based on my secret shopping. This is an average monthly premium price point for a home warranty, making it a budget-friendly option with garage door opener coverage. I find most of Elite\u2019s add-ons reasonably priced, with few exceeding $20 or more monthly.\u00a0Home Guard and First American Home Warranty. Their service call fees can vary, but I was offered a $70 service fee, which is fairly low. Elite\u2019s average service call fee is $100, which is fairly standard for the industry. However, most of Elite\u2019s add-ons are at least $15 to $20 per month, which can add up to several hundred dollars over the course of a year. Specifically for luxury homeowners, adding premium appliance protection will add $250 to your yearly cost, which is very pricey. Adding premium systems will tack on another $300. If you care a lot about covering your top-of-the-line items, this could be worth it. But, for most homeowners, it\u2019s a very steep price to pay for coverage. Because of these expensive add-on prices, we lowered Elite\u2019s affordability score to 8.7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-dba9b377 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<p><button class=\"gb-button gb-button-fbb0cf26 gb-accordion__toggle\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong><\/p>\n<h3>Customer Experience: 7.5\/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-ea2257a6\">\n<p>Elite Home Warranty delivers a white-glove customer experience with a designated claims concierge and professional customer service agents.

While I feel like they have many exclusions, they list these on their website, and it\u2019s easy to find what is and isn\u2019t included for each covered item. A few of their policies, such as their age restrictions, knock their scores down a bit. While Elite doesn\u2019t exclude older garage door openers or appliances, they won\u2019t provide the same level of coverage if your appliance is older than 10 years, depending on your state-specific policy. Read your sample policy closely for the nitty-gritty details so you can avoid claim denials.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exclusions<\/h5>\n<p>Elite Home Warranty has standard exclusions.
