Pricing & Plans
An AHS Home Warranty is a homeowner's best defense against expensive repair and replacement bills for covered items.
An American Home Shield Home Warranty is a service contract that covers the repair or replacement of many of the most frequently occurring breakdowns of certain home system components and appliances. The service contract is a one year contract covering many components associated with systems and appliances needed for everyday life.
Here are few of the key things to remember:
- No home inspection is required as a condition to purchase*
- The contract covers certain household system components and appliances regardless of age, make, or model*
- You will pay a trade service call fee for each contractor of a different trade requested, regardless of the actual cost to repair or replace the broken item(s)*
Our Basic coverage includes:
| Heating Systems | Plumbing Systems | Electrical Systems |
| Water Heater | Oven/Range/Cooktop | Dishwasher |
| Built-in-Microwave | Garbage Disposal | Exhaust Fan |
| Ceiling Fans | Plumbing Stoppages | Ductwork |
Or you can expand your coverage to include:
| Central A/C | Refrigerator | Clothes Washer |
| Clothes Dryer | Garage Door Opener | Well Pump |
| Pool | Spa |
Several affordable plans are available to fit your home and budget needs. Consider these are the average replacement costs of some of your home's system components or appliances:
Repair and Costs
| Problem | Replacement Cost + | Repair Costs + |
|---|---|---|
| Clothes Dryer | $449 | $110 |
| Clothes Washer | $509 | $88 |
| Dishwasher | $423 | $164 |
| Oven/Range | $569 | $162 |

Prices reflect national average.
Remember, your AHS Home Warranty covers the repair or replacement of many of the most frequently occurring breakdowns of certain home systems and appliances, but not necessarily the entire system.

"American Home Shield Home Warranties are very valuable to homeowners. It's pretty obvious why: but mainly, they prove their value by offering reasonable trade service call fees. Because of our positive experience with the company and contractors, I would certainly recommend AHS to my friend and family."
