Air Conditioner Warranty Coverage

Your air conditioner is an important system in your home, especially when outside temperatures rise. Having the right coverage makes it a lot easier to keep your air conditioning system up and running. When you discover a covered problem, you can simply place a service request online or call American Home Shield.

The covered item limit is $5,000. However, the covered item limit for the following types of air conditioners is $1,500: 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. American Home Shield will cover up to $1,000 should the contractor need to cut through concrete to access any HVAC system components. For ShieldSilver and ShieldGold, there is a $10 per pound AC refrigerant limit. For ShieldPlatinum, we will cover all costs of AC refrigerant.
