Is there a waiting period for coverage to begin after purchasing?

Yes, there is typically a waiting period after purchasing a home warranty from American Home Shield before the coverage begins. Generally, this waiting period is thirty days from the effective date of the contract. This means that any claims for repairs or service on covered items may not be eligible until this time has passed. The purpose of this waiting period is to prevent individuals from purchasing a home warranty specifically to address pre-existing issues. It is important for homeowners to be aware of this timeframe so they can plan accordingly. For more specific details regarding your home warranty plan or any exceptions that may apply, it may be helpful to review the terms of the contract or check the current website for more information.
