Water Heaters

Water Heaters warranty coverage

Let's face it: water heaters aren't very exciting. They don't come in bright colors, they don't move around, and they barely make noise. But what they lack in flash, they more than make-up for in function. And while they typically last for about a decade, you never know when yours might experience a problem. That's where we come in. When you discover a covered problem, you can simply place a service request online or call American Home Shield®.
