Sensible protection against unexpected repair costs

A home's systems and appliances won't last forever. In fact, the average life expectancy of nine critical home systems and appliances is 13 years,1 and the likelihood of failure in a given year is 68%.2 You can help protect against many of these financial risks with an AHS Home Warranty.

  • Pays for repair or replacement of any covered item that breaks down due to normal wear and tear in many home systems and appliances.*
  • AHS spent over $297,000,000 on covered repairs in 2006.
  • Can save much of the expense, time and frustration of dealing with covered, unexpected repairs.

Seller Benefits

An AHS® Home Warranty…

  • Helps protect your potential buyers from the hassles of unexpected, covered repairs
  • Helps protect sellers with listing coverage
  • No age limit on covered systems and appliances
  • One of the largest contractor networks in the industry
  • Increase the marketability of the home

When selling a home, let an AHS® Home Warranty make it stand out from the rest.

Buyer Benefits

Buying a new home is fun, exciting and a huge investment. That's why you protect it with homeowner's insurance. But what about the items not covered by insurance: a water heater failure? a dishwasher breakdown? an electrical problem?

  • On average, AHS services each home 2 times per year
  • AHS uses 11,000+ pre-screened, insured contractors

When a covered item breaks down due to normal wear and tear, we will send a contractor to your home to solve the problem.

It's that simple.

* Not all home systems and appliances are covered. Please read the enclosed contract that details specific coverages, exclusions, and limitations. Covers single-family homes under 5,000 square feet. A trade service call fee applies to the initial visit by a technician for each covered trade. This initial fee covers any additional technician visits required for the same breakdown within 30 days of the original service date. Additional charges may apply to some repairs and replacements. AHS may provide cash back in lieu of repair or replacements in the amount of AHS's actual cost to repair or replace such item, which at times may be less than retail pricing. System and appliances: a) will be replaced with units having comparable features, not necessarily the same dimension, color, and/or brand; b) must be in good working condition on the effective date of contract; c) designated by the manufacturer as commercial are not covered. Improper maintenance of any covered system or appliance may result in denial of coverage for lack of maintenance.
