What is a Home Warranty?

It's a one-year service agreement that covers the repair or replacement of many major home system components and appliances that typically breakdown over time due to normal wear and tear.

Homeowners Insurance and a Home Warranty - What's the Difference?

You sensibly protect your house with homeowners insurance. While homeowners insurance covers many appliances and system components in the event of a disaster (such as a fire), having an AHS® Home Warranty will cover those items against the high costs of repair or replacement in the event a breakdown occurs.

Who is AHS?

The leader in home warranties, AHS was founded in 1971 to help homeowners across the country protect their hard-earned investments. Recognized with the 2013 Best in Service Award from HomeWarrantyReviews.com and the 2014 Women's Choice Award, our customer service is well-respected, with professional agents ready 24/7 to accept your service requests.
