Ductwork

Enjoy the great indoors in comfort

You may not notice them, but ducts do a big job distributing the heating and air conditioning systems in your house, so you stay comfy inside no matter the temps outside. All 3 American Home Shield® home warranty plans include ductwork coverage for this all-important but often overlooked home system.

The covered item limit is $5,000. American Home Shield will cover up to $1,000 should the Pro need to cut through concrete to access any system components.
