Electronics Protection Coverage

Electronics Protection Coverage

Home electronics are more than simple luxuries. Today, electronics are necessary to build a career, earn an education, maintain relationships, and engage with our culture. Computers, cell phones, and internet routers are especially critical devices.

Of course, the price of an important electronic device can be quite steep. After seeing to living expenses and so many other financial demands, many of us don’t have the funds to easily replace a pricey laptop when it unexpectedly conks out. Fortunately, a warranty with electronics coverage can protect you from a surprise bill when a device needs to be fixed.

Manufacturer’s Electronics Warranty Plan

It’s common for electronics companies to offer warranties on their products. Often referred to as a manufacturer’s warranty, this type of electronics protection plan usually covers the repair or replacement of a device that has ceased to operate due to some factory defect.

While a manufacturer’s warranty can come in handy, there are some limitations.

  • Selective coverage. Some companies are choosy about what they’ll cover under a warranty plan. They may refuse to repair or replace a product, even if the issue is a result of normal use. They may also void a warranty entirely if the user has upgraded the device.
  • Hidden costs. There could be hidden expenses associated with a manufacturer’s warranty. For example, the consumer may be expected to pay for the shipping costs if the device needs to be returned to the manufacturer for repair.
  • Limited duration of coverage. A manufacturer’s warranty doesn’t usually last long. Some companies may offer a warranty for one year. Others may cover their product under warranty for as little as 90 days. Most people expect their electronics to last for several years. The limited window of coverage is simply not enough for the average user.

Extended Warranties for Electronics

If the manufacturer’s warranty on your device leaves something to be desired, there is an alternative to consider. You can receive more comprehensive coverage that lasts for a greater period of time by purchasing an electronics extended warranty from a third party.

You can find extended warranties, or appliance protection plans, to cover all kinds of electronic equipment. Some common devices covered by extended warranties include:

  • Televisions
  • Laptop and desktop computers
  • Speakers
  • Stereos, receivers, and amplifiers
  • Smart phones and tablets
  • External hard drives
  • Printers
  • Routers and boosters
  • Gaming consoles

Provided your device doesn’t have a preexisting condition, an extended warranty can often stay active for as long as you want. If your device develops an issue, the warranty provider will take care of its repair or replacement. In some cases, you can even receive a cash payout.

Better still, a home appliance extended warranty from Liberty Home Guard can cover multiple electronic devices and appliances all under one plan, so you won’t need to keep track of several different policies.

Call (866) 699-4589 to learn more. You’ll quickly discover why Liberty Home Guard has become a fast-favorite warranty provider for homeowners across the United States.

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.
