Discounts

AFC Home Warranty coverage exclusions

As is standard for most home warranties, AFC Home Warranty doesn’t cover known or unknown preexisting conditions, and it won’t cover any item that is still under warranty from the manufacturer. It also doesn’t cover malfunctioning due to any of the following:

  • Rust or corrosion
  • Mold or mildew
  • Misuse or abuse
  • Failure to maintain equipment
  • Fire, power surges, electrical shorts, water damage, lightning or storms
  • Pest damage

Keep in mind that there are also specific exclusions for each covered item in your plan. You will need to read your contract carefully for these exclusions. For example, in a sample Platinum Plan contract provided by AFC Home Warranty, it excludes the control board, touch panel, racks and soap dispenser from dishwasher coverage. The contract also specifies payout limits per appliance or system.

AFC Home Warranty claims and limits

AFC Home Warranty allows members to file claims 24/7 either online or by phone. You can choose to use a contractor from AFC’s network or request approval to use your own contractor.

How to file a claim

  1. Review your contract to confirm the item is covered and check any applicable exclusions or limits.
  2. Submit your claim online through the AFC customer portal using your login credentials, or call 1-855-613-4555 to file by phone.
  3. Describe the problem in detail, including when it began and any steps you’ve taken to address it.
  4. Wait for AFC to assign a service contractor. The company typically schedules a repair appointment within 24 to 48 hours.
  5. Pay your selected service fee ($75, $100 or $125) when the contractor arrives.

If you prefer to use your own contractor, you must indicate that when submitting your claim and receive approval before any repairs begin.

Coverage limits

AFC Home Warranty's coverage limits vary based on the appliance or system. It has sample contracts for each of its four plans on its website. Check those out for more information.

The following table highlights some coverage limits found in the sample contract for the Platinum Plan. It comes with up to $3,000 of coverage per item per membership term for access, diagnosis, repair or replacement for appliances unless otherwise stated on the sample contract.

The company’s four plan options also make it easier to scale coverage depending on your budget and the age of your home’s systems and appliances.

That said, coverage caps on certain items are lower than some competitors, and it’s not available in California or Hawaii. Homeowners with high-end appliances or complex systems should review sample contracts carefully to understand payout limits and exclusions before enrolling.

    I have had the warranty company since. December 2025. After my first claim for a faucet, I was advised that they had a $150 limit, to be REIMBURSED. I paid an additional $200 over the service fee to get the faucet repaired. My second claim was an A/C motor. They said it was too old and they only paid $100. I had to pay $495 over the $75 to get the A/C working. My 3rd claim was my dishwasher. They refused to pay for labor and will REMIBURSE only $100 after I pay to repair or replace it! THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY COMPANY. You basically are getting back your monthly premium. This is the worst company I've dealt with out of the 5 companies I've had.

      This company is the worst. When signing up, I thought I found a great company. The agent was friendly and knowledgable...however 3 months after I signed up, we had an issue. I used their technician, and the claim was denied. The second time, the technician tried to upsell me, and stopped showing up. This is truly the worst warranty company I have ever used. I have used others in other cities/states that I lived in, but do not give this company your money... NOT WORTH IT.

      Worst company ever, they lied, and after you bring it up, they don't hide it. They do not replace anything, and if they reimburse, you only get a portion like 20%. I made the mistake of signing with them, but it was the worst mistake. Run.

      Approximately 6 months ago we had an issue with our upper oven not working on our gas stove. A technician was sent and he replaced " the oven ignitor". Recently on 12/14/25 we had to have an electrician check on our gas stove and microwave because it was not working. He informed that that it is the gas stove and not an electric circuit issue.

      We contact AFC and was informed that they would be sending the same technician who repaired the oven 6 months ago but we declined. We paid for a technician from a reputable company to diagnose the issue. He had both ovens on and noticed sparks from the lower oven. The technician said he "has neve seen anything like this"! The technician diagnosed the issue stating the "harnesses were incorrectly connected". He said that we were fortunate that there was no explosion or fire. We are shocked that a huge technical error was made and our home and lives were in danger. We would like to be contacted to further discuss our concerns with AFC and the technician.

      If I could give them 0 stars, I would. DO NOT USE THIS company. Especially if your appliances are more than 5 years old. The point of a warranty is to cover older appliances, and they do not. Of course that is never mentioned when you talk to the sales folks. They guarantee great coverage. Don’t be fooled. They will offer you a $100 towards repairs or replacement. I’ve filed 2 claims and they did not cover either one of them. So in addition to the money I paid them up front, I have had to pay over 10,000 for a new HVAC unit and almost 300 to fix my dryer. They will gladly take your money up front for 3 years of so called coverage, but you will get nothing out of it, and will be throwing away a lot of money. I’ve used other warranty companies and had no problems with coverage of older units. I made the mistake of thinking this was the same type of warranty company and it is NOT!

      I had multiple claims within my 3 year contract and each one was like pulling teeth to get someone out. Than when I finally got authorization to get an outside company to do the work they paid them pennies on the dollar. This company should receive the worst review ever. The $1350 I paid was a scam!!! I waited over 6 weeks for a plumber to come out. They literally let my plan expire and than said that no policy was left!! They should be reported and no one should use these people!!! I ended up paying out of my pocket for the repair and I think they should give me the $1350 plus the 2 service fees!!!

      If you want to save money, time and frustration stay away from this company. They will only pay what your appliance is worth (and yes they determine) if it needs to be replaced. For a $5000 oven that they sent an incompetent technician to repair (and collected $65 copay) which is btw repairable they offered me $100. If they decide to pay- you are lucky if you get your money in less than 6 weeks. The customer service on the phone is superb so DON'T get fooled by the scam!!!! They answer professionally but again it is a bait and switch. Deserve a zero star...

      Worst possible coverage due to the fine print they don't talk about. Considering that I have the highest tier plan, this company rejected 2 claims:
      1. Electrical issue - They don't cover troubleshooting by the electrician. How is the tech supposed to repair something if he can't troubleshoot it?

      2. Washer soap dispenser repair - They wouldn't cover the part even though it is integral to the operation of the washer.

      If you're considering AFC, DON'T! It's a ripoff. If you're a current member, RUN AWAY, and do it as fast as possible because you're getting ripped off.

      We understand how disappointing this experience felt and appreciate the feedback. The electrical request involved improper wiring and an access opening, which are standard exclusions across the home warranty industry. The washer soap dispenser is also a commonly excluded component. These decisions were based on the technician’s findings and the coverage terms. We strive to be transparent and work with licensed contractors to guide homeowners clearly.

      Last 2 claims were rejected by AFC (I have the highest tier plan) for a integral part to make the washer work, and the 2nd one for an electrical issue, they wouldn't cover the process to find out what the problem really is. If you're considering AFC, don't. If you're already with this rip off, run away, run now.

      The people who sold us our home purchased a home warranty with AFC Home Warranty for us. When our furnace began smelling like melting wax we had it inspected and were told that it needed to be replaced. AFC is refusing to replace it, saying that it doesn't cover heat exchangers. They claim that is a secondary issue. The heat exchanger is literally inside the furnace. The technician had to take the door off the furnace to get to it. There is no way you could operate the furnace without it. He called it the “center” and the “heart” of the furnace. This is their tactic for getting around having to replace the furnace. If you look at the terms and conditions it says they will replace both furnaces and air conditioners, but then under the exclusions they list all of the parts of furnaces and air conditioners to get around having to pay to repair or replace anything. AFC is not a business, it’s a scam!

      Response from AFC Home Warranty

      Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how concerning furnace issues can be. Heat exchangers are commonly excluded from the home warranty industry due to safety regulations and manufacturer standards. In many cases, heat exchangers carry a separate manufacturer's warranty of 25 years or more. Coverage determinations are based on the technician’s findings and the written agreement, so homeowners can make informed decisions.
