What Is American Home Shield’s Pool Coverage? (2024)

There is no doubt that pools are a great summer escape. As temperature sores, you would want to head towards your pool and enjoy cold water diving. Generally, a pool is designed to last for 10-15 years. However, due to poor maintenance, you would see unforeseen expenses. To protect homeowners from such undesired expenses, American Home Shield, a leading home warranty provider in the United States, is offering pool coverage to their customers. Read through the article to find out the details of American Home Shield’s pool coverage.

American Home Shield's pool coverage

 

About American Home Shield

American Home Shield (AHS) is a leading company providing unmatched home warranty plans in the United States. With over 45+ years of industry experience, the company has catered to the needs of 1.8 million homeowners. Headquartered in Tennessee, AHS has a network of 15,000 contractors across the nation.

Home warranty plans offered by American Home Shield

American Home Shield offers four home warranty plans to its customers, i.e., the appliance plan, system plan, combo plan (appliance +system plan), and build-your-own plan. Under these plans, major appliances and systems such as refrigerator, dishwasher, air conditioner, clothes dryer and washer, heating system, plumbing system, built-in microwave oven, water heater, garbage disposal, etc. are covered.

What is included in American Home Shield’s pool coverage?

In addition to their standard plans, American Home Shield gives their customers an option to cover additional items such as pool/spa, etc. irrespective of the type of the home warranty plan. Under the warranty plans for the pool, the company covers above-ground parts and components of the filtration, plumbing, and heating systems. These include:

  • Pump Motor
  • Pool sweep motor and pump
  • Plumbing pipes and wiring
  • Plumbing and electrical
  • Blower motor and timer

What is not included in American Home Shield’s pool coverage?

American Home Shield covers significant pool equipment parts. However, the coverage comes with limitations. They do not include components such as:

  • Lights
  • Jets 
  • Fuel storage tank
  • Heat pumps
  • Ornamental fountains, waterfalls, and their pumps
  • Dehumidifiers 
  • Pool cover and related equipment
  • Pool sweeps
  • Saltwater generators and components

Does AHS Home Warranty cover only newer pool equipment?

American Home Shield covers the pool equipment regardless of its age, and will not require any maintenance records. However, the company might deny the claim if the equipment had pre-existing conditions.  

How does AHS repair the pool equipment?

When your pool equipment breaks down, call American Home Shield’s customer representatives. Upon confirming that your pool is included in your warranty plan, the representatives will assign a local & licensed technician to diagnose the problem.

The technician will contact you and schedule a mutually convenient appointment. The technician will then inspect the broken equipment and communicate the issue to the customer representatives. AHS, on approving the repair, the technician will fix the issue. If the equipment is beyond repair, the company will replace it

Why should you cover your pool equipment?

Pool equipment is not meant to work forever. Due to the normal wear and tear, it may eventually break down and may require replacement. Pool equipment repairs or replacements are quite expensive. For instance, the price of a filter replacement may range from $150 to $500, or a pump may cost $190 for a smaller to $ 350 for larger.

With AHS pool coverage, you can save hundreds of dollars on repairs or replacements and only spend a few dollars on service call fees and deductibles, if any. 

Final words

American Home Shield’s pool coverage can only cost you a few dollars a year. Investing a small amount of money on this additional coverage can buy peace of mind in addition to the relaxation offered by your pool.
