Air Conditioners
Air Conditioner Coverage
Hot days are great for pool time, cold drinks, and finding any excuse to stand in front of a vent. They're not so great when your air conditioner decides to take a timeout.
As the temperatures and repair costs rise, it's smart to have a plan. With American Home Shield, you can enjoy a little extra peace of mind knowing help is just a click or call away. When you discover a covered breakdown, simply place a service request online, in the AHS app, or give us a call. We'll help you keep your cool all season long.
The covered item limit is $15,000. However, the covered item limit for the following types of air conditioning systems is $2,000: glycol, hot water, or steam circulating heating system, any water heater which supplies heated water to such system(s), geothermal and/or water source heat pumps. For ShieldEssential and ShieldPlus, included in the covered item limit is a $10 per pound refrigerant limit. For ShieldComplete, we will cover all costs of refrigerant.
AHS will only provide coverage for access to a Covered Item through one layer of unobstructed drywall, and return such access opening to a Rough Finish. If the Covered Item can only be accessed through a concrete (including cinderblock) wall, floor, or ceiling, we will provide coverage for access to the Covered Item and return such access opening to a Rough Finish, subject to any Special Limits noted in this Plan Agreement. We will not cover the costs associated with accessing items that are not reasonably accessible or are inaccessible, such as those that cannot be accessed safely, due to an obstruction, or require non-standard specialized equipment to access the Covered Item. We will not provide service to any Covered Item where hazardous materials, such as animal waste, are present until such hazardous materials are removed or otherwise remediated.
