Frequently Asked Questions

All 3 of our home warranty plans include coverage for parts of interior electrical lines and components, including hard-wired home electrical systems and built-in exhaust, bathroom, attic, & whole house fans. Please see the coverage details on your plan agreement for more information on limitations and exclusions specifically for your plan type.

Our standard home warranty contract term is 1 year and renews for additional 1-year terms unless canceled. You can place your first service request 30 days after you sign up for your plan by phone, online through MyAccount, or in the AHS app. Electrical coverage is included on all plan types and subject to your overall AHS plan duration.

If we can’t repair your covered interior electrical systems and accessories, we’ll replace them subject to the limits and exclusions in your plan agreement and cover the cost to remove the defective components. Please see the plan agreement for coverage details, including service fees, limitations and exclusions.

Once your coverage begins (the day of closing), you can place a service request 24/7 online via MyAccount and the AHS® app or by calling 1.855.768.1176 during standard business hours to request service.

It's an annual home warranty plan that helps with the cost and hassle when your home systems and appliances break down.
