Yes! We don't care how old your home systems and appliances are. You can purchase an American Home Shield home warranty without an inspection or maintenance records.
To expedite service on your request, American Home Shield will assign a contractor to reach out to you as quickly as possible. In some cases, American Home Shield may offer you the ability to choose your own contractors, also known as Outside Authorizations. If you choose to use outside authorizations, the service contractor must be licensed where applicable, qualified in the applicable state and trade, adequately insured for worker's compensation and third-party general, and have automobile liability coverage. The chosen contractor must provide a diagnosis and itemized bid to American Home Shield before any work is performed. American Home Shield will not reimburse you for services performed without prior authorization. You are responsible for paying the service contractor's charges and then must forward the invoice to American Home Shield for reimbursement less any applicable Trade Service Call Fee or costs not covered by your home warranty.
Yes, if we can’t fix your covered appliance, we’ll replace it (for ShieldGold™ and ShieldPlatinum™ plans only, the ShieldSilver™ plan does not cover appliances). Plus, we’ll cover the cost to remove the defective appliance should a replacement be needed.
You'll pay a Trade Service Call Fee (which you select when you purchase your home warranty) each time a trade professional contractor (plumber, electrician, HVAC technician) comes to your home to provide service. For example, when both your toilet and your air conditioner break down, two kinds of trade professionals need to come out to fix your problem. The plumber can't fix the A/C. However, if your toilet and your sink break down (which are both plumbing issues), only one trade service professional will come out and you'll only pay one fee (plus sales tax where applicable). If the appliances and systems in your home are older, you may want to select a lower Trade Service Call Fee in case you end up using your plan more frequently. In a home with new systems and appliances, a higher Trade Service Call may be a better fit since you may not have as many service requests, but want the peace of mind of coverage.
No, we never limit the number of service requests you can make. With the ShieldGold™ plan, we will cover up to $3,000 for each covered appliance repair or replacement. And with the ShieldPlatinum™ plan, we will cover up to $6,000 for each covered appliance repair or replacement. See sample contract for full details.
American Home Shield® will pay up to $3,000 per covered appliance with the ShieldGold™ plan and up to $6,000 with the ShieldPlatinum™ plan for repair or replacement. We also cover multiples of each item – like that extra fridge!
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.
You can place your first service request 30 days after you buy your home warranty plan.
Yes, it is most likely you’re referring to the same thing.
Some people use the term “appliance insurance” for a contract that protects their appliances after the natural expiration of their warranties. Some people also use the term “home warranty insurance”.
Legally, this type of contract is instead called a “home warranty”, a contract that can include an additional appliance warranty so you don’t have to worry about your warranties breaking down, because they’re covered.
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.
