The Warranta verdict
Do you weight responsive support or the lowest running cost? Liberty Home Guard answers the first, with an A BBB rating, a 4.2 customer-service score, and a 40-plus add-on catalog. Choice answers the second, with a flat $85 fee and a higher $3,000 per-item cap versus Liberty's $2,000. Liberty is wrong for you if a longer track record or top payout limits matter; Choice is wrong if its 2023 regulatory action and arbitration clause give you pause.
