Home Warranty
How Much Does a Home Warranty Cost?
With three home warranty options to choose from, flexible pricing and a user-friendly service request process, American Home Shield makes it easy for our members to feel confident and in control of their homes and budgets. Warranty now. Sigh of relief later.
Let's break things down
Every home is unique, and every home warranty should be too. We use four key factors to determine the coverage and cost of your plan.
Home Details
Size, type and location of your home
We offer home warranty coverage for the following property types:
- Single-family homes
- Duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes
- Townhomes and condos
- Mobile homes
In addition to the type of home you have, the square footage of your home can affect warranty pricing and availability. Depending on where you live, your cost could also include state or local taxes. When you request a free home warranty quote from American Home Shield, we use the details you provide to inform you of your full plan costs upfront, including any applicable taxes.
Plan Type
The home warranty plan you select
Whether you’ve been in your home for years, just closed 90 days ago or are currently buying or selling a home, we offer a variety of home warranty plans for every stage of homeownership. With flexible plans and pricing, American Home Shield has a solution that works for your home and budget.
Additional Coverage Options
The ability to customize your plan
From electronics to swimming pool equipment, we offer coverage options that go beyond typical home warranties — and you can add them to any American Home Shield plan. When you request your home warranty quote via 9590x.com, you’ll see the monthly cost for the plan you select, plus any additional coverage options you may need.
Service Fee
The cost of requesting service
If you’ve never had a home warranty before, you might be unfamiliar with a Service Fee. But rest assured, it’s a standard cost that covers the time your Pro spends assessing the issue and figuring out how to fix it.
You get to choose your Service Fee amount when you purchase your home warranty plan.
