Understanding home warranties:
how they protect your home

Homeowners insurance protects you from things like fires and floods, but what about everyday system and appliance problems? Home warranties cover what your insurance doesn't — like improper maintenance and normal wear-and-tear of the items you rely on most.

From HVAC system and plumbing problems to appliance issues, unexpected breakdowns caused by normal wear and tear can be costly and stressful. American Home Shield's reliable home warranty plans help take care of covered repair costs and keep homeowners happy.

Common Issue

Hassle-free Solution

Ancient AC gone kaput? Fridge on the fritz?

We cover important parts of systems and appliances of all ages — no maintenance records required.

Reading through dozens of reviews to find the right contractor?

One company to contact: AHS will send a qualified, independent Pro when you need help.

Worried about paying for expensive, surprise repairs?

If we can't fix a covered item, we'll replace it — and you can request service 24/7.

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

Help control out-of-pocket expenses.

Without a home warranty, it can cost a lot to repair or replace the systems and appliances you rely on.*

Air Conditioning

can cost you

up to $6,000

Heating

can cost you

up to $5,600

Appliances

can cost you

up to $1,800

Plumbing

can cost you

up to $2,000

*Repair/replacement cost is the eightieth percentile as reported in a nationwide survey of homeowners conducted in 2024 by ClearVantage for American Home Shield.

You could pay thousands for a single repair or replacement — or a fraction of that cost for an entire year of coverage with AHS.

We sweat the small stuff for you.

Rest easy. With our Shield Assurances, we take care of things other home warranty companies might not, like:

Man fixing washing machine
  • Normal wear-and-tear, no matter the age of a covered item
  • Unknown, pre-existing breakdowns
  • Items without maintenance records
  • Duplicates of the same item, like that extra AC unit
  • Removal of defective equipment
  • Refrigerant recapture, reclaim and disposal
  • Breakdowns caused by improper installations or repairs, insufficient maintenance; rust, corrosion and sediment; and mismatched HVAC systems

30-Day Workmanship Guarantee

If you have an issue with your completed repair within 30 days of service, we’ll send a Pro back out for free.

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