Homeowner Plans

A home warranty is a year-long, renewable home warranty plan that covers home systems and appliances when they stop working due to normal wear and tear - like your air conditioning, refrigerator, water heater, and washer and dryer. See the plan agreement for coverage details, including service fees, limitations and exclusions. Coverage limits and charges for non-covered items may apply.

The cost of a home warranty depends on a few factors, such as the level of coverage and add-ons you need for your home, the size of your home, and the Service Fee amount you select. At American Home Shield, our ShieldSilver plan covers the essentials at an affordable price. See Plans & Coverage for more information.

American Home Shield offers one of the most affordable home warranties with rates starting $29.99 per month. Visit our Plans & Coverage page for more information.

The standard home warranty service plan agreement for most home warranty companies is one year.

You can start requesting service 30 days after you sign up for your plan. If you purchased or were given a home warranty during a real estate transaction, your coverage starts on the day of closing.

Major appliances like built-in microwaves, ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, garbage disposals, installed instant hot/cold water dispensers, washers, and dryers.
