Which one is right for you?
Choose Liberty Home Guard if…
- You have a generator, roof, or other item only Liberty specifically names as an add-on.
- You live in a state where AFC Home Club's plan is not currently sold.
- Liberty's roof-leak and generator riders give you more named categories to shop than AFC's shorter published add-on list.
Choose AFC Home Club if…
- AFC discloses a specific 60-day cancellation window on new contracts, a feature Liberty's standard agreement terms do not name.
- Your written AFC quote undercuts Liberty's on the trade fee, and you are fine with AFC's shorter published add-on list.
- You want a Gold-tier middle option that steps up gradually from a Silver base plan.
Choose neither if…
- Your appliances and systems are still under a builder or manufacturer warranty, so neither Liberty's Total Home Guard nor AFC's Platinum tier would add coverage yet.
- You have not reviewed AFC's stated conditions on its cancellation window before assuming any refund is automatic.
- You have not checked whether Liberty and AFC both currently list your address's state on their availability pages.
- Treating the AFC refund promise as unconditional instead of reading which conditions void it.
- Assuming an item from Liberty's extended add-on list, like a generator rider, is folded into the Total Home Guard price instead of billed on its own.
- Requesting an AFC quote before confirming it is sold in your state.
- Comparing Liberty's Total Home Guard tier against AFC's Silver tier instead of matching tiers by scope.
