With AHS I don't have that anxiety. Thank you. I used AHS for the first time and what an easy process. Our "trusted" AC tune up guys told us our unit was leaking refrigerant and needed a new coil unit.

For questions regarding renewal, call Can I cancel any time? Yes, you can cancel at any time. With AFC Home Club, you are not locked into a contract. If you cancel within the waiting period, you will receive a refund.

After coverage has become effective, you will receive a prorated refund based on the months not used in the plan and less any service or claims costs incurred by AFC Home Club.

Can I transfer the plan to someone who buys my home? Just call to transfer the plan to the buyer. You can start protecting your home with a plan at any time, but in order to take advantage of special real estate pricing and terms, you must set up the plan within 15 days of purchase of a home.

When does coverage begin? Is there a waiting period? For plans purchased as part of the sale of a home: with a valid home inspection report, we can begin coverage immediately upon closing of the home, waiving the standard day waiting period and using your closing date as the beginning of the policy.

Please note that any issues with covered items that appear on the home inspection will have to be resolved before the item will be covered see the next question below.

Do you cover pre-existing conditions? What if my home inspection report shows issues but we have them resolved? Typically, any issues found in the home inspection report should be addressed by the seller prior to closing. Known pre-existing conditions that show up on your home inspection report will not be covered by AFC or any home warranty company.

When you have repairs done on your new home prior to closing, hold on to any proof-of-repair invoices—realtors usually keep copies of these documents. These invoices help AFC confirm that your home had no pre-existing issues when your membership started. Service Champions, a Northern California HVAC company, explains: Home buyers assume that the home inspector has tested their heating and air conditioning equipment.

But the home inspector may simply turn on your furnace and air conditioner to make sure they work…. HVAC systems, like cars, can work even if there are major problems. By contrast, preventative maintenance is performed by a licensed HVAC contractor and is geared towards increasing the lifespan and performance of your unit.

During maintenance, contractors not only inspect the unit but also clean filters and coils and make any adjustments necessary. Learn more about preventative maintenance and its benefits here. What should I know about your setting up coverage for my clients?

We love working with real estate professionals! A few things to remember when helping your home buyers: Real estate agents can easily create an invoice here.

When working with buyers, we can waive the standard waiting period, which usually extends over the first month of the plan, with a valid home inspection report.

The report must be current, and we must have the document, whether supplied by the realtor or the buyer, before we can waive the waiting period and allow customers to make claims.

Yes, multi-property discounts are available. Call to speak with a sales representative for discounted rates. This fee goes directly to the technician plumber, HVAC technician, electrician, etc.

The amount of the service fee is set by the plan when you sign up. Plans with a higher service fee amount are generally less expensive than plans with a lower service fee. Giving homeowners different service fee options allows them to find coverage that meets their needs and budgets at the same time.

For example, since homeowners with a newer home and appliances are less likely to need frequent service, they might want to save money on their plan premium by choosing a higher service fee.

Homeowners with an older home may anticipate requesting service more often, and may save money by choosing a lower service fee.

I wasn't sure if a home warranty would be a good investment. My next door neighbor has AHS and had their AC unit repaired without any issues and little out of pocket cost.

With that I was sold. Since then, I've had 2 AC units repaired, an ice maker replaced, a garbage disposal replaced, and most recently a dryer repaired. All with no issues. Doing the math, having AHS is a great investment.

As a long time customer of AHS it is a pleasure to be a member. As a single homeowner I always worry about breakdowns and how I would pay for them. With AHS I don't have that anxiety. Thank you. I used AHS for the first time and what an easy process. Our "trusted" AC tune up guys told us our unit was leaking refrigerant and needed a new coil unit.
