Frequently Asked Questions

The ShieldSilver home warranty plan covers 14 of your home’s major systems including your heating and AC, electrical and plumbing systems. It does not cover your kitchen and laundry appliances or roof leak repair coverage.

With the ShieldSilver home warranty plan, there is a $50,000 limit per agreement term and we never limit the number of service requests you can make. Heating and AC systems will also have a maximum covered item limit of $5,000 per system per agreement term.

See the plan agreement for coverage details, including service fees, limitations and exclusions. Coverage limits and charges for non-covered items may apply.

In the event that your item is not covered, we'll keep you updated so you have the ability to decide whether you want us to complete the repair out-of-pocket or not.
