Get Coverage
For the Real World.
Our Livable and Forgivable coverage is included in every real estate plan, which means you’ll get protection for things other home warranties don’t automatically cover.
We cover breakdowns due to:
- Normal wear and tear — no matter the age of the item
- Lack of maintenance
- Rust, corrosion and sediment
- Undetectable, pre-existing conditions
- Mismatched systems and improper installations, repairs or modifications
And even things like:
- Removal of defective equipment
- Refrigerant recapture, reclaim and disposal
- Permits and correction of code violations ($250 or more per agreement term when required during a covered repair or replacement)
See the plan contract for coverage details, including service fees, limitations and exclusions. Charges for non-covered items may apply.

Seller Coverage Option
For up to six months, while the home is on the market, sellers can get coverage for the same home systems and items (excluding rekey) included in ShieldEssential. No payment is due until the home closes.
Note: The Seller Coverage Option can be a great negotiating tool in real estate transactions when submitting offers or negotiating home inspection issues.*

*Coverage includes undetectable, pre-existing conditions.
Subject to a $2,000 cap during the listing period. Renewable upon review at the discretion of American Home Shield after 6-month period, up to 12 months.
