Frequently Asked Questions About Additional Coverage
Additional Coverage runs concurrently with your annual home warranty plan, which lasts a year based on your initial membership start date. So, when your home warranty plan expires, so does the Additional Coverage.
No, we do not place a limit on the number of covered repairs, although some coverage limitations and exclusions, such as dollar amount caps, may apply. Please review the specific list of coverage limitations and exclusions for each Additional Coverage item via the sample contract.
You can add Additional Coverage when you purchase your home warranty plan, within the first 60 days of your plan being active via MyAccount or by calling 1-888-682-1043, or during the open member renewal period.
Although our ShieldSilver™, ShieldGold™, and ShieldPlatinum™ home warranty plans include coverage for up to 23 systems and appliances you use every day, you may still want Additional Coverage to help cover specific items like pools and spas, electronics, guest units, and more. American Home Shield® Additional Coverage takes the stress out of covered breakdowns and helps protect your budget. Here are the additional items we cover, no matter their age: Roof Leak Repair (included with the ShieldPlatinum™ plan but can be added to the ShieldSilver™ and ShieldGold™ plans), Electronics Protection, Pools & Inground Spas, Guest Units (under 750 square feet), Septic Pumps, and Well Pumps.
Our standard contract term is 1 year and can be renewed upon expiration. When you purchase a new home warranty plan, there is a 30-day waiting period before you can make your first service request.
Our best plan is the one that’s right for you! The ShieldSilver™ plan is for homeowners who want to cover the must-haves like your heating and cooling, plumbing, and electrical systems. The ShieldGold™ plan is perfect for anyone who wants to live life with less interruptions, especially in the laundry room and kitchen, with coverage for the main systems and appliances you use every day. And with the ShieldPlatinum™ plan, you get coverage for just about everything: key components of 23 major home systems and appliances, plus premium features like Roof Leak Repair Coverage, double the coverage for appliances, and a free HVAC Tune-up.

It was 100 degrees and my AC went out. Called AHS but the contractor couldn't come until the next day. I rented a motel room for the night and as I was getting ready to leave, the contractor called and said he could be there that night if I still wanted him to!!! I was soooo happy. He fixed my AC and my house was back to normal that night. I would have gladly paid more than the $100 service call fee for this. Thank you AHS!
Britni T.
I have never had a bad experience with the service that AHS provides. When appliances failed, the speedy replacement options were superb with a no-fuss process. You will NOT go wrong with the prices, plans, and services offered by American Home Shield!
Christine D.
As part of our home warranty we were allowed to have several locks rekeyed. Since the previous owner left us one key to the front door and a bag of miscellaneous keys (that went with nothing) it was a huge help to have this done!
Clint P.
I have had American Home Shield for almost 10 years now and it is the best service as a homeowner I have! Highly recommended!
William S.
Great service for homeowners! If you have a ton of cash ready for any home system that may fail at any moment then you are good. If you are like the other 90% of homeowners who don't, then do yourself a favor and protect your investment with an AHS home warranty. Seriously, a new HVAC in California costs over $4K. I paid $100. A new stove last year was $400, but I paid $75. It's in my budget and I don't think twice. AHS always takes great care of me.

I just used AHS for the first time in February because my AC wasn’t working. It was the easiest process!!! The tech came out and had the AC up and running in under 45 minutes. My unit is not new and I’m amazed he was able to bring it back from the dead. But the best part? The ZERO dollar due invoice I received from the AC company!!!! Thank you AHS - I’ve got peace of mind regarding my home.
Scott S.
Great service. We've had four service requests completed for $400 total and it saved us over $2,400.
Eric A.
I wasn't sure if a home warranty would be a good investment. My next door neighbor has AHS and had their AC unit repaired without any issues and little out of pocket cost. With that I was sold. Since then, I've had 2 AC units repaired, an ice maker replaced, a garbage disposal replaced, and most recently a dryer repaired. All with no issues. Doing the math, having AHS is a great investment.
Marie H.
As a long time customer of AHS it is a pleasure to be a member. As a single homeowner I always worry about breakdowns and how I would pay for them. With AHS I don't have that anxiety. Thank you.
Leia S.
I used AHS for the first time and what an easy process. I booked a service appointment online, paid the $100 service fee, and the repairman fixed the problem in less than 10 minutes. Our "trusted" AC tune up guys told us our unit was leaking refrigerant and needed a new coil unit. The AHS contractor saw that a bolt was loose and after he tightened it, his meter no longer detected a leak. Thank you for sending out honest repairmen!! I'm already a huge fan.
Nicole C.
It's a great home protection plan that helps assist with the cost when things break down. The send reliable contractors who are masters in their field of work. You can customize any plan to fit your needs.
Betty M.
Placed my fourth service call in last 7 years and their service people are very reputable. The contractor explained to me what caused the microwave door to break and provided lots of good tips about safety, which is very important to this 80-year-old homeowner.
