One of the many perks of being an American Home Shield member is having access to valuable savings on the home services and equipment you really need—like a new HVAC system. This is a great program to take advantage of if you have an aging HVAC system you’re tired of constantly repairing, or if you need a more efficient and reliable HVAC system. With our New HVAC Program, you could save thousands* off national retail pricing on a new system. All you have to do is sign up for a free, in-home quote and a skilled Pro will assess your current system and provide you with several new HVAC system options to choose from. Our program includes installation of the new system, removal of the old system, and financing options are available.
*Pricing and amount of savings will vary based on location and equipment availability. HVAC system upgrades are offered by Frontdoor Pro and performed by a Frontdoor Pro independent service contractor.
We offer our discounted HVAC tune-ups twice a year, once in the spring to prepare your A/C for the summer months ahead and again in the fall to ensure your heating system is ready for the winter. The discounted rate for ShieldEssential and ShieldPlus members is $100 per unit plus any applicable sales tax. ShieldComplete members receive one free tune-up per contract term. For AC systems, daytime outside air temperature must be 65 degrees Fahrenheit or above to perform a tune-up. A/C systems are not eligible for a tune-up during the fall heating tune-up season. Heating systems are not eligible for a tune-up during the spring AC tune-up season. HVAC units must be safely accessible to the Pro.

Our standard contract term is 1 year.
