Plan names, fees, and coverage caps change frequently. Always confirm current details on each company's official site or in a written quote before buying.
If you want the lowest service-call fee: compare the per-visit fee carefully — AFC typically lists $75–$125 service fee while Liberty typically lists $65–$125 service fee. A lower service fee is appealing but can come paired with lower coverage caps.
If you have an older home or older HVAC system: read the "pre-existing conditions" and "improper installation" sections in each contract first — these clauses are the most common source of public complaints across every home warranty company.
If you want a longer track record: America's First Choice Home Club has been in business longer (since 2009) and a longer history can make BBB ratings, public complaints, and review patterns easier to evaluate.
If you want a written quote without a phone call: you can get an independent home warranty quote in minutes for $99 today with no inspection required — useful as a third reference point alongside AFC and Liberty.
