What to look for in a home warranty in California

Make sure your coverage checks all the boxes

A lot can come with a home warranty plan. But as a resident in CA, you’ll want to make sure your plan covers these essential items:

Heating systems

If you live in Northern California or inland, you’ll probably need to use your heating system in the winter. Feel confident during the colder months knowing that the parts and components of your heating system are covered in the event of a breakdown.

Air conditioning systems

California temperatures can climb into the 90’s in many parts of the state and even into the triple digits in the desert, so having a working air conditioner is a must. In addition to covering the parts and components of air conditioning systems, an American Home Shield® home warranty in California also offers discounted seasonal HVAC tune-ups before the hot and cold seasons begin.

Guest units

The best home warranty in California should offer coverage for your guest unit. Whether you have renters or family visiting, ensure that you can add coverage in your home warranty plan for your guest unit.

Plumbing systems

Have peace of mind that breakdowns to your covered interior plumbing lines, toilets, faucets, and water heater can be diagnosed and repaired with a home warranty plan.
