A home warranty is a service contract, usually covering one year, which helps protect homeowners against the cost of unexpected covered repairs or replacement on their major systems and appliances that break down due to normal wear and tear. An AHS home warranty helps provide protection during and after a home purchase. When a covered system or appliance breaks down due to normal wear and tear, you're protected for repair or replacement. There's no need to get back in touch with the real estate agent or track down the previous owner. What about Sellers? An AHS home warranty helps provide protection during and after a home purchase. When a covered system or appliance breaks down due to normal wear and tear, you're protected for repair or replacement.* There's no need to get back in touch with the real estate agent or track down the previous owner. An AHS home warranty gives buyers additional confidence in a real estate transaction— they know that AHS stands behind the covered systems or appliances in the house. If they break down, buyers are covered for repair or replacement. An added benefit to the seller is that buyers will be calling us with their problems—not you.

Information of Radon Gas What is it?

Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas.

You can't see radon. And you can't smell it or taste it. But it may be a problem in your home.

Radon is estimated to cause many thousands of deaths each year. That's because when you breathe air containing radon, you can get lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.

Radon can be found all over the U.S.

Radon comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon can be found all over the U.S. It can get into any type of building - homes, offices, and schools - and result in a high indoor radon level. But you and your family are most likely to get your greatest exposure at home, where you spend most of your time.
