A History of Service
American Home Shield is the nation's oldest and largest home

the concept of the home warranty in 1971. In 1989, ServiceMaster,

Home Shield to complement its other home services. The ServiceMaster
Quality Service Network includes such respected names as ServiceMaster
residential and commercial services, Terminix termite and
pest control, TruGreen-Chemlawn tree and lawn care service,

leading providers in their respective service industries.

Great Service for Our
Customers
Our home service contracts provide for the covered repair
or replacement of a home's major systems, including heating,
air conditioning, plumbing, electrical systems, pool and spa,
and built-in kitchen appliances which breaks down due to normal
wear and tear.
|
When our customers request service, they simply
call a toll-free telephone number and contact our service
center. The service call is then dispatched to a qualified
service contractor who is a member of our service network.
If the covered system or appliance can't be repaired, AHS
will have it replaced where the contract provides for replacement.
The customer normally pays a $35-$50 trade service call fee
and additional charges may apply.
