American Home Shield: Protecting Your Home and Budget for Over 50 Years
If you're a homeowner, you know that unexpected repairs can be costly and stressful. That's where American Home Shield comes in. As America's #1 home warranty company, they've been providing peace of mind to homeowners for over 50 years.
With over 2 million members and a network of 17,000 contractors, American Home Shield has the experience and resources to handle any repair or replacement needs that may arise in your home. From major appliances like refrigerators and ovens to HVAC systems and plumbing, their comprehensive coverage ensures that you won't have to worry about unexpected expenses.
But what exactly is a home warranty? Essentially, it's a service contract that covers the repair or replacement of major systems and appliances in your home due to normal wear and tear. Unlike homeowners insurance which typically only covers damage from natural disasters or theft, a home warranty provides protection against everyday breakdowns.
So how does American Home Shield work? First, you choose the plan that best fits your needs based on the systems and appliances you want covered. They offer three main plans - Systems Plan (covering items like electrical wiring), Appliances Plan (covering items like dishwashers), or Combo Plan (covering both). You can also customize your plan with additional coverage options such as pool/spa equipment or well pumps.
Once you have your plan in place, if something breaks down simply call American Home Shield's customer service team who will connect you with one of their pre-screened contractors in your area. The contractor will diagnose the problem and provide an estimate for repair/replacement which must be approved by American Home Shield before any work is done.
One thing to note is that while American Home Shield covers most major systems/appliances regardless of age or condition at enrollment (with some exceptions), they do not cover pre-existing conditions or items already under manufacturer warranties.
So why choose American Home Shield over other home warranty companies? For starters, they have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau which speaks volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction. They also offer flexible payment options including monthly plans with no annual contracts required.
In addition, they have an extensive network of contractors who are held accountable through regular performance reviews ensuring quality service every time. And if something isn't fixed right the first time around - don't worry - they offer a 60-day workmanship guarantee on all covered repairs/replacements.
Overall, if you're looking for affordable protection against unexpected repairs in your home then look no further than American Home Shield. With their decades of experience serving millions of customers across America combined with their commitment to quality service - it's easy to see why they're America's #1 choice for home warranties!
