Frequently Asked Questions

The ShieldGold home warranty plan covers the parts and components of 27 home systems, as well as major kitchen and laundry appliances. ShieldGold does not include coverage for roof leak repairs, or one free HVAC tune-up per plan agreement term like the ShieldPlatinum plan does; however, you can add-on optional coverages to your plan at anytime or upgrade if ShieldPlatinum fits more of your home needs. To upgrade or add-on coverage, simply call: 1-888-673-0651. See the plan agreement for coverage details, including service fees, limitations and exclusions. Coverage limits and charges for non-covered items may apply.

With the ShieldGold home warranty plan, there is a $50,000 aggregate limit per agreement term and we never limit the number of service requests you can make.

See the plan agreement for additional coverage details, including service fees, limitations and exclusions. Coverage limits and charges for non-covered items may apply.



In the event that your item is not covered, we'll keep you updated so you have the ability to decide whether you want a Pro to complete the repair out-of-pocket or not. One benefit is that you won’t have to find the right Pro for the job because we’ll handle that for you. An AHS customer service representative can help answer any questions you might have related to your coverage.

Also, as a member benefit to all AHS plans, you can video call* with a vetted, repair Technician with over 20 years of experience at no extra cost prior to submitting a service request to handle home hassles over the phone for a potential DIY fix, saving you the cost of your service fee. AHS is in the game of making homeowenrship easier, not harder. 

*Video call hours are 8AM-9PM CST, 7 days/week. Subject to change

ShieldGold covers all 27 of the home systems included in ShieldSilver plus coverage for key kitchen and laundry appliances.

The standard home warranty plan agreement contains a 30-day coverage waiting period. This means your coverage begins, and you can place your first service request, 30 days after your home warranty plan agreement begins. 

Prior to the 30-day mark, you can set up your online profile on the AHS app so you’ll be ready to place service requests, access your plan agreement, and get member discounts on home maintenance services.
