If you have an American Home Shield® home warranty, you know how convenient it is to have someone you can call for help when a covered appliance or home system breaks down. But, like many of our members, you probably have questions about what parts of your home are covered. For example, does a home warranty cover garage door repair or garage door spring replacement? Does a home warranty cover the garage door opener itself?
We'll answer these questions and explain how American Home Shield can keep you covered when unexpected breakdowns occur.
What's Covered by Your American Home Shield Home Warranty?
Similar to most home warranties, your American Home Shield home service plan does not cover garage doors, the tracks they run on, or the springs that work to raise and lower them. Because of that, it will not cover garage door or garage door spring repair and replacement costs.
However, all of the parts and components of your garage door opener are covered.
Since the garage door opener is a home system, it is covered under all three of our home service plans, which provide coverage for up to 23 home systems and appliances that you use every day. You can easily compare the costs to determine which one meets your household's needs and budget.
The average cost to repair a garage door opener is about $150-200*, plus parts, and the average cost to replace a garage door opener is between $300 and $500*. Because our home service plans cover the cost to repair or replace your garage door opener, you can sit back and relax knowing you have control over unexpted breakdowns. Other home systems that are covered iby an American Home Shield home warranty include your AC, heating unit, electrical systems and accessories, plumbing systems and accessories, water heater, and more.
