Frequently Asked Questions

The ShieldSilver home warranty plan covers 20 of your home’s major systems including your heating and AC, electrical and plumbing systems. It does not cover your kitchen and laundry appliances or any optional add-on coverages.

With the ShieldSilver 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 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.

The cost of a ShieldSilver home warranty plan varies depending ona number of factors, including the service fee selected and the home's size, type, and location. That’s why we need your address to provide you with an accurate price. To get your personalized quote, shop plans now.

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 still 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.
