A home warranty is an annual, renewable service contract that provides peace of mind and protection. When a covered home system or appliance breaks down, your home warranty plan covers the repair costs. It complements your homeowners insurance by protecting things your insurance doesn’t. In addition to helping with the cost and hassle to repair or replace parts of covered home systems and appliance that break down over time due to normal wear and tear, our home warranty plans also offer American Home Shield members exclusive pricing on home maintenance services, new appliances and HVAC systems, and more – from tech and smart home installation services to pre-season HVAC tune-ups, and more
