Generator Warranty Coverage

Generator Warranty Coverage

A home generator is your first line of defense against a power outage in your community. You depend on its functionality when you need it most. A generator that malfunctions when your power goes out is like getting a flat tire and finding your spare is also out of air.

Generator warranty coverage through Liberty Home Guard can help you ensure your generator is there for you when the lights go out.

Warranty Coverage for Generators

A home generator is an expensive investment. Portable generators are typically the cheapest option, but they provide a limited amount of power and can still cost a couple of thousand dollars. More robust generators are several thousands of dollars, and that’s not including installation costs. All costs considered, a powerful home generator can have a five-figure price tag.

Generally speaking, generator manufacturers provide limited warranty coverage for their products—but “limited” is the operative word. Depending on the brand and model, a generator may have coverage for parts and labor for one or two years. Beyond that, the manufacturer may cover select generator parts, but not labor. After five years, manufacturer-backed coverage is unlikely. That makes the consumer responsible for generator repair and its associated costs.

Extended Warranty for Generators

If your manufacturer’s warranty on your generator has expired, you do have other options for coverage. Liberty Home Guard provides extended warranty coverage for major models and manufacturers. If you’re interested in a broader home warranty, you can include generator coverage as an optional add-on.

Our policy provides coverage for your generator’s engine, alternator, control panel, voltage regulator, and transfer switches. This extensive protection ensures your home will never be without power.

The Best Home Warranty Service

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.

Benefits of a Generator Home Warranty

Extended warranty coverage provides several important benefits:

  1. Financial Protection: Unexpected repairs or replacements of generator components can be costly. A warranty helps offset these expenses by covering eligible repair and replacement costs, potentially saving homeowners hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

  2. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your generator system is protected against unforeseen failures provides peace of mind, especially during severe weather events or prolonged power outages.

  3. Convenience: With a generator warranty in place, homeowners can easily schedule service appointments and access prompt repairs or replacements without the hassle of searching for qualified technicians or negotiating repair costs.

  4. Long-Term Maintenance: Many generator warranties include provisions for regular maintenance checks, ensuring that the system remains in optimal condition and operates efficiently throughout its lifespan.

  5. Increased Property Value: A transferable generator warranty can enhance the resale value of your home, appealing to potential buyers who value reliability and preparedness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

HOME WARRANTY
  • What is a home warranty?

    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.

  • How does a home warranty work?

    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:

    • File a claim online or call.
    • After paying your set fee, we’ll put you in contact with a local contractor to schedule your appointment.
    • After officially diagnosing the problem, the contractor will contact us to make sure the issue is covered by your plan.
    • If everything checks out, the contractor will then repair or replace the item in question.
    • Afterwards, we’ll check in with you by email or phone to make sure you’re happy with the job.
  • What does a home warranty cover?

    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.

  • How is a home warranty different from homeowner’s insurance?

    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.

  • How is a home warranty different from a manufacturer’s warranty?

    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.

  • Why is buying a home warranty a good decision for homeowners?

    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.

  • Do I have to get a home inspection before getting a Liberty Home Guard home warranty?

    No. Liberty Home Guard doesn’t require a home inspection or any maintenance records to purchase a home warranty plan.

  • How long does it take to fulfill a service request?

    Liberty Home Guard will dispatch a licensed technician to your home within 24 - 48 (business) hours of your request. Extenuating circumstances do apply.

  • Can I choose my own service contractor?

    Yes, you absolutely can. We only ask that you reach out to us first so that we can authorize the contractor you'd like to work with. This helps ensure that the highest standards are applied and that you and your family are kept safe. In our experience, you will usually save the most money and get the best work done using an LHG Certified Professional. All of our contractors are licensed professionals, and their work comes with a 60-day workmanship guarantee.

  • What happens if I sell my home?

    You can take your warranty with you to your new home, or cancel your warranty plan.
