With the ShieldPlatinum plan, you have the most comprehensive coverage AHS has to offer, coverage caps included! There is a $50,000 aggregate limit* see contract for details, and we never limit the number of service requests you can make!

Shield Platinum covers all 14 major home systems in Shield Silver and 9 critical kitchen and laundry appliances in Shield Gold + provides coverage boosts, +1 free HVAC Tune-Up and roof leak repair coverage.

1. Coverage boosts:

●  ShieldPlatinum offers double appliance coverage of four thousand dollars ($4,000) per Covered Item malfunction for access, diagnosis, and repair/replacement of any covered Appliance (vs. $2,000 coverage for ShieldGold).

●  ShieldPlatinum covers up to $250 in modifications, code required changes, or permit fees gives you peace of mind – especially in older homes where code requirements have changed. 

●  With Shield Platinum, 100% of refrigerant costs are covered. AC Refrigerant (such as Freon, R-22 or R-410A) vary widely by season and state, but most AC units require up to 10 pounds to repair, this means without a home warranty, you could be paying $540 - $810 for refrigerant needed to get your AC working.

2. Shield Platinum offers 1 Free HVAC Tune-Up per contract term to get your A/C or heater checked before the season kicks in!

3. Roof Leak Repair is an additional $10 as an add-on option on our lower 2 plans. With the ShieldPlatinum bundle, you get the value of a free HVAC Tune-Up, PLUS all 3 coverage boosts above to protect your budget from surprise costs for only an additional price a month (Compared to buying ShieldGold + the Roof Leak Repair optional coverage).

Shield Platinum prices vary depending on what state you are in, home square footage, and your property type – coverage for a four-plex is more than for a single family home for example – so you know you’re getting the best deal for your needs. That’s why we need your address to show accurate prices. Shield Platinum is always priced above Shield Gold plan – bringing you value with Roof Leak Repair protection, a free AC or Heat tune up, and additional coverage for refrigerant, modifications and more.

You can pick your price for ShieldPlatinum by customizing your Service Fee. Paying more for each service request lowers your monthly contract cost or with a higher monthly contract price, you can pay less for each service.
