Owning a home in Texas means dealing with the natural wear and tear that comes with like long summers and surprise cold snaps. With the average home in Texas being just over 30 years old, systems like HVAC, electrical, and plumbing may be showing signs of age. Add on  higher than average energy usage, and it's easy to see why having the right home warranty coverage isn’t just helpful—it’s key. To stay ahead of costly repairs, make sure your Texas homeowners warranty includes protection for the key parts of these systems and appliances

Air conditioning systems

In Texas, air conditioning is important. A home warranty is a good way to keep yourself—and your budget—protected by ensuring the covered parts of your covered AC unit, including ductwork, can be repaired or replaced if it loses its cool. 

Septic pump

About 20 percent2 of homes in Texas have septic systems. If you’re buying a house in Texas or building one with a septic system, protecting the septic system ejector pump and pumping is a good idea.

about AHS Texas

The companies we've used through American Home Shield have been quick to respond. They call before they show up and are timely. They provide good information as well. They're very communicative on what's going on and what they fix. They also quickly respond back with the paperwork. So far, our experience has been fantastic.

Michael Houston, TX

I've been using American Home Shield for several years and have generally had a positive experience. Recently, I faced an issue with my heating system that required six visits from the air conditioning company. Although it took some time, the problem was eventually resolved. American Home Shield showed great customer service by refunding $80 of the $100 charge, as they didn't charge for every visit. They were very responsive, and the chosen company, AR-Tex, was responsive as well. Currently, everything is working fine, and I'm satisfied with their service. Overall, I would highly recommend American Home Shield to others.

Tracy Austin, TX

I have been protected with American Home Shield for four years now and I like the value of being able to call one place and get good contractors to come fix stuff. Recently, my oven had problems with the heating and the display. I went online and submitted a claim with AHS. They assigned me a repair person and that repair person called me. I shared the error codes. They came out and verified what parts were needed. They got in touch with American Home Shield, got the parts approved and ordered it in. They called me back and set up another appointment and came back and fixed it.

Tom Austin, TX

The repair was good. The fridge is working perfect. The service cost me $100 but it was more than worth that. Also, their website has the easiest and quickest steps I have to take for any repair that I ever have to do.

Frequently Asked Questions

The home warranty costs depend on a couple of things: the size, type, and location of your home, the level of coverage you need for your home, any additional coverage options you opt to add to your base plan, and the amount you choose for your service fee. With three plans to choose from, you can easily pick the one that’s right for you and your home’s needs. 

Yes, we do! From Frisco to El Paso to Galveston and beyond, an American Home Shield home warranty in Texas will help protect your budget and peace of mind.

American Home Shield Texas plans offer three different options so you can choose the one that’s best for you and your home. Our entry level plan, Shield Silver covers the parts and components of your heating and AC, plumbing, and electrical systems. Our ShieldGold plan covers your systems and hardworking kitchen and laundry appliances like your dishwasher, refrigerator, washer and dryer, and more. And finally, our ShieldPlatinum plan covers your systems and appliances, but also includes roof leak repair coverage, unlimited AC refrigerant, and more member perks. With American Home Shield Texas, it’s easy to cover the items that keep your home running smoothly and choose a plan that’s right for you.

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.

In some situations, a seller will purchase a real estate home warranty plan for the buyer of their home or in some cases, real estate professionals will gift a year of home warranty plan coverage to their clients. However, most homeowners typically purchase their own home warranty plan in order to ensure the systems and appliances they use every day are covered and their budgets are protected from expensive repair costs.

If you like to save time and money, a home warranty is for you. When a covered system or appliance breaks down, you could pay thousands* for a single repair or replacement, or you could get a home warranty plan starting at less than $1 a day with American Home Shield. Plus, there’s only one company to contact when you have a breakdown, and we find the right repair Pro for the job. American Home Shield gives you peace of mind.
