WHY AMERICAN HOME SHIELD?

We’re glad you asked.

We cover things homeowners insurance doesn’t.

American Home Shield isn’t insurance. We provide plans for people who have systems and appliances they’d like to keep in working order.

No system or appliance is too old.

You can get protection regardless of the age or appearance of your covered items — no maintenance records or inspection required. Now those breakdowns are our problem, not yours.

Even your satisfaction is covered.

With our 30-day workmanship guarantee, if you have an issue with your completed repair within 30 days of service, we’ll send a contractor back out for free.

In Ohio, it is common for property sellers to purchase a home warranty service to cover the contents of a house for the first year after purchase, but it is not required by law. Someone buying a house or moving can also decide to purchase home warranty, to make sure their appliances and systems are protected.

There is no fixed price for home warranty services in Ohio, but the average cost for a home warranty in America often sits between $500 and $700 per year. The final cost of your plan will depend on the number and type of appliances and systems you want covered and the cost of service call fees. Given how much the people from Ohio rely on AC and heating to withstand hot summers and cold winters, many rely on a home warranty for peace of mind.

There are multiple home warranty companies operating in Ohio and some of them might adapt better than others to the specific needs of homeowners. With that said, AHS was the first company in the United States offering home warranties to american consumers, and it has grown to be the most trusted provider of home warranties in the country, with more than 1.8 million happy customers.

BREAKDOWNS HAPPEN. THAT’S WHY WE’RE HERE.

    We were very pleased with how easy it is to put in a repair request with AHS on the internet. We received a response from AHS when they notified the plumber. We were very fortunate that D&B Plumbing was able to take care of us that day. We had a clogged sink. Technician assessed the situation and had the drain cleared within in 30 min. Technician was very nice and knew what he was doing. Very happy with both services

    We have been very pleased with American Home Shield. We had them when we bought our condo and now into our second year with our house. We decided to keep the plan because of their dependability and ability to complete a job. They have great customer service who are very knowledgeable and offer a variety of ways to handle the various issues that come up with home ownership. I recommend AHS for people needing help with the care of their home.

    I don't know where you get your people or how you vet them, but my experience has been exceptional as a client to date. People show up on time, do what they came here for, clean up...if they left a mess and some have done extra when needed without me asking. Over the years your service has been of great value to me.
