Methodology

To select our top picks, we started with the home warranty companies available in Arizona on our site and eliminated those with a star rating below 3.5. To stay on the list, companies also had to have at least a 2:1 ratio of 5-star to 1-star reviews from consumers in Arizona, based on verified review data collected between Oct. 12, 2020, and Oct. 12, 2021. Final selections were made based on the strength of each company’s review data.

American Home Shield offers a selection of home warranties, ranging from plans covering just the basics to up to 23 appliances and systems. Add-ons are available, and coverage isn’t affected by the age of your appliances, incorrect installations or poor maintenance.

Based on our review data, American Home Shield is the clear front-runner in Arizona. Our analysis showed that AHS had both the highest number of reviews and the best ratio of 5-star to 1-star reviews in the state, earning it our top overall pick.

"I feel secure having something like American Home Shield … that when things happen, there's a company that is easy to deal with that's not gonna run me through the mill and back to try to get out of the claims. They stand behind what they put out there to be. … I've called them on the weekends and late at night and they've answered the phone. They've been wonderful and great," wrote Kevin from Casa Grande.

Komlan from Surprise also had good things to say: “Their service was excellent and AHS has been a good service so far. I will highly recommend them as a warranty company.”

Choice Home Warranty offers two warranty plans for homeowners, buyers and sellers in Arizona. With these two options, you can choose from basic coverage or a more expensive plan that offers coverage for additional appliances and systems.

“I had a very quick and easy experience while obtaining two new home warranties with Select Home Warranty,” wrote Rebecca from Tempe. “I called the company and was assisted by Mark **, who explained my policies and was able to offer me a significant discount.”

OneGuard has very positive reviews from Arizona residents, giving it the second-highest ratio of 5-star to 1-star reviews in the state (just behind American Home Shield). Reviewers are enthusiastic about the company’s customer service in particular.

Theresa from Buckeye wrote, “OneGuard takes care of us. We don't ever have any pushback from them. The claims submission is pretty simple and easy. It's done online because of the pandemic. … I'm very happy with OneGuard. I'd tell my friend and family to give them a call. Anybody that owns a home should not be without this protection.”

Laura from Scottsdale also had praise for the customer service: “No matter what the issue, OneGuard is accessible (you’ll never get voicemail, always a live human!), responsive and efficient. OneGuard service contractors have always delivered excellent work, excellent response time, excellent customer service. OneGuard takes the sting out of aggravating home repairs, thank you OneGuard.”

A good way to find the right coverage is to think about what home systems or appliances you wouldn’t want to go without. Major home systems and appliances can be expensive to fix, and having to delay repairs while you save money is often uncomfortable.

You likely wouldn’t want to go without air conditioning during a hot Phoenix summer, so it’s worth making sure your home’s cooling system is covered. Consider what other risks your home has and shop for coverage accordingly.

Narrow down your options to home warranty companies in Arizona with good reputations, then request a quote from each so you can compare pricing. If you're getting a quote over the phone, be sure to ask for details about the contract’s length and terms, as well as specific information on coverage and limitations.

Arizona law requires home warranty companies to meet certain standards in order to operate in the state. These standards are fairly loose, mostly requiring that companies write their contracts in clear language and disclose the full extent of coverage and costs.

However, home warranty contracts in Arizona must also allow for cancellation and provide a prorated refund, minus benefits paid and administrative expenses (which may not exceed the lesser of $75 or 10% of the plan’s purchase price). This can come in handy if you ever need to cancel your contract.

Home warranty companies in Arizona may also need to have a permit with the state’s Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI). You can search for a company's license information or file a grievance on DIFI’s website.

It's up to you to decide whether a home warranty is a worthwhile investment, and the answer will depend on your budget, your long-term financial plans and the risk of your home needing repairs in the near future. Compare home warranty companies, then request a quote to check pricing. You'll also want to pay close attention to the warranty's coverage to ensure it includes everything you need.
