American Home Shield Launches Appliance Sweepstakes to Highlight the Hazards of Home System and Appliance Breakdowns

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--()--American Home Shield, the nation’s leading provider of home warranties, has launched the Win-Win Giveaway, an online sweepstakes offering participants the chance to win two new GE brand household appliances worth up to $5,000. The company is also reminding homeowners how quickly and quietly home systems and appliances can break down, wreaking havoc on their quality of life and household budgets.

Fortunately, having a home warranty can make an important difference in managing the expense and hassle of unexpected and costly repairs. American Home Shield Home Protection Plans start at around $2 a day and cover the repair and replacement of more than 20 home systems and appliances.

Homeowners can enter the appliance sweepstakes now through Feb. 13 by going to chupacasa.ahs.com or visiting the American Home Shield Facebook page and clicking on the Win-Win Giveaway tab.

“Breakdowns come with the territory when you own a home, but you don’t have to be caught off-guard, or put your household budget at risk with unexpected repair and replacement costs,” said Philipp von Holtzendorff-Fehling, chief marketing officer at American Home Shield, a business unit of The ServiceMaster Company, one of the world’s largest residential and commercial service networks. “A home warranty is an effective and affordable way to protect your home systems and appliances – and to know that your repairs will be taken care of by professional service contractors.”
