Sony has been a trusted manufacturer of consumer electronics for generations, but even the best devices can malfunction through no fault of the user. Taking advantage of a Sony warranty or extended warranty can help you repair and maintain your Sony appliances conveniently and affordably.
Sony does not have a one-size-fits-all warranty policy. The terms of a Sony warranty differ from product to product.
Many of Sony’s less expensive products will have a 90-day warranty. More expensive devices, such as the Playstation 4 or Playstation 5, have one-year warranties. Some Sony televisions may have a warranty period of two years.
Standard Sony warranties typically cover parts that are deemed defective. If you want coverage for accidental drops, water damage, surge protection, and the like, you’ll need to purchase additional coverage.
You’ll also need to purchase additional coverage if you want any level of protection beyond the limited window of Sony’s initial product warranty.
You can check your Sony product’s documentation to find the exact terms of your warranty.
There's a reason Liberty Home Guard was rated the #1 Home Warranty Service by U.S. News and World Report for 2021, 2022, and 2023. Check out our services.
Learn MoreUsers have a couple of options for extended Sony electronics protection. The company doesn’t usually offer Sony extended warranties, but they do offer Sony protection plans. One example is the Sony Extended Service Plan (ESP). With this plan, users have access to Sony support and Sony technicians, but coverage is limited to five years. If you purchase Sony’s ESP with accidental damage coverage, that coverage window is only four years.
Of course, Sony’s protection plans are limited to Sony products, as well. If you want extended protection for a Sony Playstation, Samsung television, and Bose headphones, you’ll need to pay for multiple policies.
You can consolidate your coverage, however, with an electronics extended warranty from Liberty Home Guard.
A Sony warranty covers the cost of unforeseeable repairs or replacement of your Sony product due to a defect or hardware issues. A Sony warranty is typically in effect for one year. If your Sony product’s malfunction is deemed the result of a manufacturing error, Sony will fix or replace the broken components at no charge.
A basic Sony warranty usually excludes damages arising from the following:
Furthermore, a Sony warranty is only valid if the consumer has used the product as intended, and it has not been altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
The first step in filing a claim with Sony is to collect any documentation about the product, including its serial number and proof of purchase. Contact Sony’s customer service either online or over the phone. You’ll be asked to provide information about the product and the issues you have. You may be asked to file a claim online.
After you submit your claim, the manufacturer may recommend you send the damaged product to an authorized repair service. If the problem is covered by the warranty, Sony may repair or replace the product, often for no charge.
However, if the damage falls outside the terms of the warranty, you may be given the option to have it fixed at a certain rate.
The cost of a Sony warranty depends on the specific product you’ve purchased and the coverage you’ve chosen. Most Sony products have a standard, one-year limited warranty. You can purchase an extended Sony warranty for an additional fee, which may add multiple years of protection against accidents and malfunctions.
The price of an extended Sony warranty varies according to the product and the coverage you select. A long-term plan that protects a Sony flatscreen TV will cost more than a plan covering Sony headphones or smaller devices.
We strive to be the most consumer-centric warranty provider by working with our customers to craft plans that meet our customers’ needs without redundancies in coverage. With our electronics warranties, you can bundle coverage for multiple devices, no matter the manufacturer. You can even combine electronics coverage with a broader home warranty to have total protection across all of your home’s appliances and systems.

A home warranty is a service contract that covers the cost of repairs and replacements for your home’s systems and appliances when they break down over time from normal wear and tear.
It’s simple, you can select the coverage plan of your choice that is the best fit for your home and budget.
When you request service for a covered item, you will be charged a pre-set fee in order to initiate the service request.
With an LHG home warranty, when a covered item needs repair, simply follow these steps:
Liberty Home Guard offers 3 different plans depending on the coverage your home needs. The Total Home Guard is a combination of both our Appliance Guard and Systems Guard plan. It is our most comprehensive and most economical.
We offer add-ons to each plan. Check HERE for our Home Warranty Plans & Policies page to learn more about everything we cover.
A home warranty covers the costs of repairs and replacements of major home appliances and systems. Home systems, for example, include plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
Homeowners insurance provides coverage if theft or natural disaster hits.
The main difference is that a manufacturer’s warranty generally covers the failed part of a single appliance, but usually doesn’t include the cost of labor or repair. With a home warranty, one plan covers a variety of systems and appliances, making it a more cost-effective way to safeguard your home.
A home warranty protects the homeowner’s budget by removing the risk of fluctuating expenses when big ticket items break down. With a Liberty Home Guard home warranty, the homeowner will pay for a monthly plan, along with a flat rate service call fee associated with any repairs, rather than the full retail cost of replacing or repairing any of their home appliances or systems.
No. Liberty Home Guard doesn’t require a home inspection or any maintenance records to purchase a home warranty plan.

Yes, there are some limitations to what a home warranty plan can cover. Home warranties cover breakdowns that occur due to normal wear and tear. For example, if a fan in your AC unit breaks due to natural use, LHG would cover the replacement. However, if that AC was broken from human misuse or a natural event, it would not fall under our coverage.
No, it doesn’t. You can get an LHG warranty plan no matter the age of your appliances.
You can start requesting service after 30-60 days depending on the coverage you purchase. If you purchased your plan while buying your home, ask your agent about whether or not we start coverage on the day the escrow closes.
If, for any reason, you need to change your plan, you can do so within the first 30 days of purchasing your coverage. To make a switch call (833) 544-8273
