The One Thing All Homeowners Should Buy
A homeowner already has too much to worry about, so don’t add home systems or appliances to that list. Get peace of mind with this one thing all homeowners should buy.


How does it work?
When a component of a system or appliance breaks down, American Home Shield members request service online or by phone, and American Home Shield assigns a qualified, local contractor to diagnose and service the issue. More than 1.8 million members have access to 17,000 qualified contractors across the nation. There is no limit to how many claims members can file for covered repairs, and help is right around the corner.
What is covered in a home warranty?
American Home Shield covers what others don’t, which sets them apart from other home warranty companies. They recently released new plans with their most comprehensive coverage for what homeowners want and need. American Home Shield covers the repair and replacement costs of more than 20 major appliances and system parts that break down due to wear and tear. The long list of items covered includes components of kitchen and laundry appliances, ceiling fans, water heaters, garbage disposals, air conditioning and heating systems, and plumbing and electrical systems. Every plan includes their Shield Assurances, which means members get coverage for things that aren’t automatically included in many home warranty plans, like old appliances, improper installation, mismatched systems, rust and corrosion, and more.
How much does an American Home Shield home service plan cost?
Your plan’s cost depends on your level of coverage, where you live, and how many add-ons you choose. American Home Shield plans start as low as $39.99 per month. Request a free quote, and determine which plan best suits your home.
What do the home experts say?
For Karen Pfluge, a Tennessee-based REALTOR® at Crye-Leike Realtors, American Home Shield has been an amazing tool for several of her clients. “We had a seller who was able to get a water heater replaced between going under contract and the home inspection so that we could offer better peace of mind to the buyer,” she tells us. “American Home Shield has also been an excellent resource for several of my buyer clients. Most people forget to turn off the HVAC on moving day and inevitably have an issue with the system just after closing. American Home Shield has quickly resolved this issue for multiple clients over the years and prevented what could have been a very expensive repair. I also have clients who really enjoy the pre-season HVAC tune-up and others who have utilized the rekey service option right after closing, too.” Homeownership should be enjoyable, and the convenience and ease of American Home Shield’s home service plans allow you to spend more time loving your home and less time worrying about system and appliance failures.
