An AHS Home Warranty is a homeowner's best defense against expensive repair and replacement bills for covered items.
An American Home Shield Home Warranty is a service contract that covers the repair or replacement of many of the most frequently occurring breakdowns of home system components and appliances. The service contract is a one year contract covering many components associated with systems and appliances needed for everyday life.
Here are few of the key things to remember:
- No home inspection is required as a condition to purchase*
- The contract covers household system components and appliances regardless of age, make, or model*
- You will pay a trade service call fee for each contractor of a different trade requested, regardless of the actual cost to repair or replace the broken item(s)*
Our Basic coverage includes:
| Heating Systems | Plumbing Systems | Electrical Systems |
| Water Heater | Oven/Range/Cooktop | Dishwasher |
| Built-in-Microwave | Garbage Disposal | Exhaust Fan |
| Ceiling Fans | Plumbing Stoppages | Ductwork |
Or you can expand your coverage to include:
| Central A/C | Refrigerator | Clothes Washer |
| Clothes Dryer | Garage Door Opener | Well Pump |
| Pool | Spa |

"American Home Shield Home Warranties are very valuable to homeowners. It's pretty obvious why: but mainly, they prove their value by offering reasonable trade service call fees. Because of our positive experience with the company and contractors, I would certainly recommend AHS to my friend and family."
