PUT SOME PREDICTABILITY BACK IN YOUR BUDGET.

Every homeowner needs a plan for system and appliance breakdowns.

<p>A home warranty is a one-year service contract that helps pay the repair and replacement costs when parts of covered systems and appliances stop working. A home warranty complements homeowner&rsquo;s insurance by protecting things insurance doesn&rsquo;t, like normal wear-and-tear and improper maintenance.</p>
<p style="clear: both;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>An American Home Shield<sup>&reg;</sup> home service plan goes beyond traditional home warranties by providing exclusive member perks, like discounts on new appliances and services, including tech installation and setup, pre-season HVAC tune-ups and more.</p>
<p style="clear: both;">&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>

What Is a Home Warranty? 

<p>All home systems and appliances will break. American Home Shield is one of the best plans for this inevitability. We help pay for covered repairs, and if your item can&rsquo;t be fixed, we&rsquo;ll replace it. It&rsquo;s a smart way to control costs and save time searching for help.</p>

Why do I need a home warranty?

<p>We cover major parts of your heating and cooling, electrical and plumbing systems; kitchen and laundry appliances; as well as roof leak repairs, A/C refrigerant and more &mdash; giving you more value and protection than multiple single-appliance warranties.</p>

What does a home warranty cover?

<p>Consider this real-world example: the out-of-pocket cost to repair or replace an A/C unit without a home warranty can be up to $3,800. But, with a covered A/C repair from American Home Shield, you&rsquo;d only pay your pre-selected Trade Service Call Fee ($75, $100 or $150). And if it couldn&rsquo;t be fixed, we&rsquo;d replace it.</p>

Is a Home Warranty Worth It?

Limitations and exclusions apply. See plan for details.

For members who purchased a home warranty for their current home, there is a 30-day activation period before you can start using your plan. If you purchased your warranty through a real estate transaction, your warranty is active at closing.*

<div>
<div>*When home sellers add the Seller Coverage Option, their coverage begins immediately. Subject to $2,000 cap for all trades during the listing period; renewable upon review at the discretion of American Home Shield for a 6-month period, up to 12 months. **In some locations, members might have the option of choosing their own contractors.</div>
</div>

<div>
<div>When your covered system or appliance breaks down, you can request service by logging into <a href="https://www.ahs.com/login/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MyAccount</a> or calling our Shield Agents at <a href="tel:800-776-4668">800.776.4663</a>.</div>
<div>When you request service, you pay your <a href="#trade-service-call-fee">Trade Service Call Fee</a> to have a contractor diagnose your problem.</div>
</div>

Place a service request.

Step One

<div>
<div>A qualified, local contractor for our network** will contact you within 24-48 hours to schedule an in-home visit so they can diagnose the problem and identify a solution.</div>
<div>In some areas, you may be able to choose a video diagnosis so your contractor can virtually inspect the issue and order parts prior to the in-home visit.</div>
</div>

We assign a contractor.

Step Two

<div>
<div>We&rsquo;ll pay for your covered item repair or replacement, up to your contract terms and limits. If your repair exceeds the limit of what your contract covers, we&rsquo;ll inform you of any additional costs upfront so you can decide how to proceed.</div>
<div>Relax, you have American Home Shield &mdash; we&rsquo;ll help you get your home back up and running.</div>
</div>

Your contractor diagnoses and repairs the problem.
