There is a $50,000 total coverage limit per agreement term in our ShieldSilver, ShieldGold, and ShieldPlatinum plans for repair or replacement. In addition, some covered items also have coverage limits, such as $5,000 per covered air conditioning and heating system. If the covered item can only be accessed through concrete (including cinderblock) wall, floor, or ceiling, American Home Shield will cover up to $1,000 for access and to return such opening to a rough finish. See the plan agreement for full details.
Yes, our ShieldPlatinum plan covers up to $250 for modifications, code requirements, and permits. Say your water heater breaks down and can’t be repaired. Our Pro comes to replace it for you thanks to your American Home Shield coverage. But, your new water heater is a different size than the old one, so the drain and gas lines won’t reach. To get the new unit hooked up, we’ll need to make some modifications. This coverage helps cover the cost to extend or adjust those lines and get everything working properly. We may also find that the water heater’s location is no longer up to code per your city’s ordinances, so we’ll find a new spot for it and cover the relocation cost up to the limit. Once it's time for installation, a permit will be needed, so this coverage also helps pay for any permit fees needed to complete the modifications. The ShieldSilver and ShieldGold plans do not include this coverage.
Yes, we don't care how old your home systems and appliances are. You can purchase an American Home Shield home warranty without an inspection or maintenance records.
When you join American Home Shield, there are two fees associated with your home warranty plan: the plan cost and the amount you'll pay when you need to request service, which is your service fee. Your service fee is a set amount that you get to choose when you sign up for your plan. It is nonrefundable and covers the cost for a Pro to diagnose the item.
