Although not mentioned on the AHW website, home warranty contracts often include exclusions and limitations.

Before signing your contract, be sure to ask yourself the following questions:

    • Are the systems and appliances that need to be covered included in this contract?
    • Do all of my covered systems and appliances meet coverage requirements?
    • Do I understand the scenarios in which my appliance or system coverage could be denied?

Service requests can be made 24/7 by phone or through AHW’s online portal.

When a technician arrives at your home to inspect a malfunctioning system or appliance, be prepared to pay the technician a small service fee, usually ~$75.

Customers can make a service request anytime, also by phone or online portal.

Making a Service Request

Entropy happens. Luckily, AHW customers are covered when an applicable system or appliance breaks down. Here’s what to do when the expected happens:

    • 1) Double-check that the malfunctioning system or appliance is covered under your contract.
    • 2) If you’re covered, make a service request to AHW via phone or online portal.
    • 3) When the technician arrives in a day or two, pay a small service fee directly to the technician (~$75).
    • 4) Sit back and relax while your system is fixed or replaced.
