Signing up with American Home Protect was a lengthy process, but it was easy. If anyone asked me about them, I'd tell them that they need to check into it. It's an opportunity. The policy runs a little high but their customer service was good.
Hi Eric,
We appreciate your feedback, and we work hard to make sure our customer service is world class. We are glad to see that you had a great experience.

I'm paying on an insurance claim that doesn't cover what I need. When I talked to American Home Protect, they told me if I paid whatever I had to pay, I could make a claim. Yesterday, I called them to make a claim. They told me everything that I needed to make a claim on, which is my plumbing, is not covered by them. My water tank on my house, my plumbing is not covered by them, and I need a plumber now. I just spent $10,000 thinking that I would get them to fix that problem. But it didn’t go like that. I have a leak under on my house. Winter's coming. So, I'm not happy with them. For me to not be able to get help with my problem, and I'm paying insurance for something, that's horrible. There was no one they could link me to. They linked me to somebody else who linked me back to wherever they linked me to. They're not doing their job. They're a scam.
Hi Jason,
We are sorry that you are having this issue. We escalated your case to the head of customer care, and they reviewed the phone call to understand the complete situation. Plumbing is certainly one of the coverages that we provide, but as you mentioned on the call, the drainpipe for the washing machine in your home is facing the wrong way. That type of issue is due to the contractors that installed it in your home, whenever the home was built or remodeled, and that is definitely a pre-existing issue which would not be covered by a home warranty. Had it been a clogged drain or other similar issue that is just now occurring, we would have been happy to send a technician to take care of the problem. The other issue that you mentioned on the call is that you have had a leak under the house since you purchased the home. Again, this is a pre-existing issue that would have been created by contractors, and not covered by any home warranty in the industry. However, due to the possibility of mold or cracking the foundation, both of these issues may be covered by your homeowners insurance. We would highly recommend that you inquire with the company that provides you with homeowners insurance and mention that you are worried about the health hazards associated with mold and the structural integrity of a home that may possibly have the foundation cracked. As for the coverage that is provided with the home warranty, if one of your home appliances or systems like the HVAC system were to break down from normal wear and tear, we will be happy to help with the repair or replacement for you.

I paid for a home warranty with American Home Protect without having anything done for about two years, and when it was time to renew, I signed up. When I called to have some work done, they told me that I had just gotten the warranty about a month ago. I said, "No, I renewed it." The rep said, "Anyway, you're not qualified right now." I'm not very satisfied with that. It was very bad and I was very upset. Customer service didn't want to help at all. They just said that I have to wait a month. I left it at that, but I'm thinking of canceling everything. I did not appreciate the way they treated me, and I don't wanna have anything to do with them anymore.

One of the connections in my water heater had sprung a leak. I spoke with a rep and that was positive. A tech came at about 11:00 and had to go get a part. He got the plumbing supply, came back, and fixed the issue. It took about three hours. That made me feel very good.

The AC stopped working but I didn't know why so I contacted the insurance company. They said I should probably check in the AC area in the attic, which I did and I found out the pipe was clogged. American Home Protect sent someone out to fix it. I also had an issue with the dishwasher. The tube going from the actual dishwasher into the garbage disposal was too narrow so a lot of food particles were clogging it up. So, the dishwasher would leak. American Home Protect had a guy come out and make a repair, and that was good.
The garbage disposal itself stopped working so I didn't know what the problem was. I used the Allen key to turn the garbage disposal at the bottom. I did that a few times and it didn't fix the problem. When I turned it on, it would get caught and I could hear the motor buzzing as if it was turning, but it's not actually turning. The guy who tried to help me out over the phone sent me an email saying there's a button at the bottom that I need to push. Anyone with common sense would find that and I replied back that I’m not a plumber. Since then, I haven't had any problems with the home insurance or the warranty department.
I just came back from Kuwait about a year ago and American Home Protect informed me that a handyman service is one of the new services that they provide now. They'll cut the grass or they'll trim the hedges. But you have to call them and let them know you need the service and then they would send someone out. The rep said it's free once a year.
Hi Worren,

American Home Protect told me that I had to pay only $80 one time and I've been charged for $181 every month. So I'm just going to work this month and next month, I'm going to stop because I'm going to school, so I will not be able to pay for it. I tried to call to cancel and the person who answered the phone said that they didn't have my policy. When I told her to use my phone number, she said she couldn't find me. As a person, she was nice but she didn't do her job. If she knew her job, she would know how to find an account. Also, if it's 85 per year, American Home Protect should keep their word. Not just getting people and charging whatever they want to.

We read your review and immediately forwarded this to the customer care team to investigate.

Their service has been okay. A little cumbersome at times getting connected to local services, though. I had a plumbing emergency and the only available plumber was not in their network. It was just them having to go to the plumber and going back and forth with each other. But, the plumber did great work and ultimately everything got covered as supposed to. I also had one other plumbing claim and it went fine. Other than the service call fee, I didn't have to pay anything for the emergency expense that I had on that plumbing issue. They took care of everything.
Hi Thomas,
Thank you for the review. We are happy to hear that everything worked out well with your plumbing issues. Part of being such a large company is consistently adding new technicians into our network of service providers. Certainly, when we need to use technicians out of our network it can be a bit less streamlined of a process, but we rely on our agents to get the job done as quickly as possible for our customers. Fortunately, we are always adding more technicians, and the next time an issue arises, we will have even more technicians to use in your area. We are consistently improving our network so that the process should be even faster than it was before.

When I made an appointment for service, it took 2-3 weeks before understanding my location was columbus area which was still reynoldsburg. The repairman was very nice & confidence that your company has great response with approval for repairs. But that didn't happen for me.
Hi Barbara,
We apologize that it took longer than we would expect to process the claim. Our agents do their best to find technicians in your specific area before moving on to other cities or towns that are nearby. It seems as if our agent did not understand that Columbus was so close to your area of Reynoldsburg. Our agents may not always have the greatest geographic knowledge about every town. So, to help us help you, you can absolutely mention to our agent to use a technician from the Columbus area since that area will likely have a greater saturation of technicians. In addition, you can always use your own chosen technician if you prefer, and that can save even more time. Although the claim took longer than we would hope, we are glad that you felt the technician was very nice, and thrilled that he was able to fix your issues.

The Reimbursement we received for water heater you couldn't even buy a water heater for that amount, it was very discouraging, especially since it doesn't even begin to cover anything towards the cost of labor as well. Maybe you should adjust the costs due to inflation.
Hi Kevin,
We are sorry to hear that you didn’t feel like your reimbursement was what you had hoped. The labor is included in what we pay for, so we have decided to send this case to our customer care department to investigate further and ensure that you received everything you were supposed to. We always want our customers to feel satisfied with the service and the value of the benefits, so we are going to have our team investigate and you may have someone from our team contact you for more information.
As far as the inflation is concerned, you are absolutely correct, and our management is constantly looking for ways to expand the coverage limits to account for the economic trends. As you likely already know, we are currently experiencing a time of much higher than average inflation which is hard to account for and has pushed prices higher across the board. But management takes these comments seriously and the topic of pricing/inflation will certainly be a point of discussion.

I had a fantastic experience with American Home Protect. It saved me a lot of heartache because we had to get our AC repaired, and we got most of that money back. It was a lot more streamlined than I thought it was gonna be. I haven't done it very often, so it was pretty good to have. It was quick and easy. When I did the claim, I had to contract my own person out to come do the repairs, and once I got the invoice, I sent it to American Home Protect. They reviewed it, and then got me my check within a week. Given the fact that we're almost on a check-to-check basis right now, and being able to have a major expense like that come through and only have to pay 200 instead of an entire 1,500 would be a win for anybody.

When we signed up, the rep explained to me how I could benefit from the policy. I already had HomeSmart through Xcel so if my appliances go out, they come and maintain stuff for me. But the rep told me I could use a handyman to do certain things and I told him I needed some duct work done. I've had the policy since January 3rd when they took the first withdraw but I cancelled recently. When I called in March and I asked about some duct work, the reps said, "Let us transfer you to the handyman." When they did, the handyman said, "We don't do this."

AHS isn't a good service and I'm not happy with it. Sometimes, my payment would come out of my account and sometimes it won't. It's a headache. For one period of time, I was with them for several months and somehow they didn't receive a payment for three months and I had to start all over. Something happened in my home and I'm like, "I've been with you all for this amount of time and y'all can't cover it." My AC unit went out and I had to come $7,300 out of my pocket. They didn't help me. I'm trying to figure out why I'm paying them if they're not gonna help me with everything in my house. They need to improve.

Every time I call American Home Protect, they say “We can't find anybody that we deal with in your area.” So why did they sell insurance in this area? It was cool for the first four years because I didn't need them. I was just paying to have insurance. But now that I need them, it's a problem. It's frustrating. When I call them and tell them something’s wrong, I have to pay the $75 for somebody to come out, then they call me back and tell me I got to find a tech. I called them last Friday. They said they’d get back to me Monday. I just got a voicemail from them the other day, saying they couldn’t find anybody. Ended up, I had to find my own technician. After I paid them and sent them the invoice, they would reimburse me. And that was a lot of work.
Hi Anthony,
We apologize that our service was not able to find you a technician as quickly as we would have liked. Our agents do their best to both find technicians and recruit new technicians for areas that don’t have enough coverage. Our service is constantly expanding, and we are consistently adding new technicians to help fill our coverage areas. It sounds as if our agents were having trouble with your particular area, and we have notified the customer care department to make a priority of finding more techs in your area. In the meantime, we do always allow our customers to choose their own technicians so that you can have the work done in a timely manner without our agents being required to do all the necessary vetting to bring those technicians into our network of trusted technicians. The idea is that you can call and find a tech faster than it would take for us to find one and fulfill the vetting process. We hope that the rest of the process went well and that you have already received your reimbursement check. Again, we apologize that the service did not meet your expectations and we hope that the next time you have a problem we will have expanded our technicians line up for your area and have many more available techs.

I wanted a sense of security and I felt like American Home Protect was a good way to provide that. I am a little concerned because the prior company that I used only gave me 1,300 for plumbing, and that year I spent well over $7,000. But for the small things, I'm confident that it would be beneficial. The people that have reached out have been very pleasant.

When my toilet was leaking and I called American Home Protect, they said I don't have insurance on that. I said, "I got insurance." They said, "That's not covered." I said, "It's supposed to be." When you pour the thing to flush where the water comes out, the thing inside it has gone bad. I pay 100 some dollars a damn month but they can't fix a lousy little leak? I'm thinking about canceling it.
Hi Jerry,
We are sorry that your toilet is leaking, and that the agent was not able to help with your issue. Generally, the warranty coverage is used for appliances like your washer and dryer, and home systems like HVAC, or electrical systems. Fixing a leak on a toilet is more of a maintenance type of problem. That being said, we are human, and our goal is to always help. So, we will go ahead and escalate your case to our customer care team and see if they can find a way to resolve your situation and stop the toilet from leaking.
edit- Hi Jerry,
So after we forwarded your case, we had our agents reach out and get you scheduled for a handyman service to fix your toilet. Although it is not a warranty issue, the handymen have the ability to do other things and that is one aspect that sets our service apart from all the others. Our agents in the handyman services department said that the handyman was scheduled to come out on the 26th and take care of everything for you. We hope that it worked out well and that you are happy with the service. We are happy that we were able to help and get your toilet fixed.

American Home Protect covered at least 35% of the cost for my water heater. It was around the holidays so the contractors were booked up. I asked American Home Protect if I could be the one to pick who does the job because I knew somebody in town that was not busy so that was what I did. They sent me a $500 check and I had to pay for the labor which wasn't bad. It was around $1,200 in total including the water heater. They didn't say anything about them only covering a percentage. I was expecting to get a full refund but it's better than nothing. American Home Protect helps.

When I was signing up, at first I said, "It's not really old enough to really even consider this possibility." But I thought, "If I sign up now and I stay with them, when I really need it, maybe it'll be there." And sometimes I'm still thinking back and forth. I look at it, how much it is, and I thought, "I could put that money aside in a separate savings account and basically have money built up in case I do have those expenses." I'm still weighing whether I should do one or the other kind of thing, what's my best choice given my situation. If you don't know how old your appliances are that came with the home or apartment, this is something to think about if you're responsible for the repairs of these pieces of equipment. I looked at it as general home insurance for the whole home. And I realized what it really was. I'm still weighing a lot of this stuff, what is really a justifiable expense for me versus is there a better alternative for me in the long run.
At this point, if the unit failed, the company has to do you right by either being able to repair it back up again or simply replacing it, depending upon what's cost effective for them to make you satisfied. Because you don't want a dissatisfied customer when it comes to, what you call higher value items that people purchase either for themselves or for their homes. You're talking the home, the car, the appliances, the more expensive furniture. You don't want somebody within five years, it gives you a problem to the point where they're gonna go out there online and tell everybody, "You don't want to buy from these people because it gave out after this period of time. And they basically said, ‘Good luck, you must have got one of the bad ones. Well, we're sorry. And that's as much far as it goes.’” This is the last thing a customer wants to hear.
To some extent, someone close to me probably would have said, "You really should have thought about this before you spent that money, because you could have put the money in the savings, and you'd have the money set aside in case you needed it. And if you didn't need it, then you'd be building up money to replace the unit when it reaches the end of its life." Which is another good point, just setting the money aside for yourself.

Although the agent likely explained this to you, we always like to reiterate that your contract is more than just a warranty. We have our handyman service that is included in your benefits for free, and if you ever have a maintenance need or any job that you simply prefer a handyman to do, we are here to help. Anything from mounting a new television on the wall to helping with a leak around the house, our handyman service is available for you. A normal handyman can charge any price they want for their services, but with our service you simply pay your basic deductible, and a handyman will be sent to help you with whatever you request a technician for. We hope that you will be as pleased with our services as you were with the initial process and our agents will be here to assist you!

The young man that I talked to said that the payments would be 100 and something dollars. I told him I couldn't afford that, and he brought it down to 95 for me. That helped me tremendously, because I live on my Social Security. I felt safe knowing I had American Home Protect. It took a lot of pressure off of me.
Hi Shirley,

Many of our customers have fixed incomes and we do our best to accommodate everyone to help them get protection within their budget constraints. We hope that you will feel great about our service and any time that you need it you can rest assured that there will be someone here to help. We also want to remind you about the handyman services that are included in the contract. If you ever need maintenance or a job is just too much for you to handle by yourself, you can have us find you a handyman to help you, and all you need to do is pay the small deductible in your contract. This should help to save you quite a bit over finding a handyman online and paying their hourly rate and these services can help with everything from yardwork to plumbing. So, if there is ever any time you need a handyman, don’t forget that our handyman services are available to you and can save you money and help your budget!

I almost canceled American Home Protect. I have two homes so I'm paying almost $400 a month. And they tell me that’s fair that a customer waits on hold for two hours to get a question answered and to get handyman services? No. And I'm gonna dispute all the charges, because I couldn't get anybody to give me a clear answer or to answer my phone call when I call without being on hold for a long time. None of my issues have been taken care of, and I'm paying for it.
Also, American Home Protect doesn't have enough people with knowledge. I needed an outlet for my house because I have an electric vehicle. And every time I plugged my electric vehicle using my current outlet, it trips the rest of the electricity at the house, so I needed an additional outlet. Somebody was supposed to get back with me, but they never did. It's very simple. Just get somebody out here to add the outlet. It's very simple. It’s on the garage, so it's not like there's anything that needs to run a line. But they haven't.
When we’re calling as homeowners, we're looking for a solution. If I have to do the research myself, then why would I pay American Home Protect? And the lady said, “It's not covered. We only covered your pool.” They want to pull an outlet from my pool? That's going to cost them more money. That doesn't make sense. It's right here. Everything is set for the garage. They just need an outlet. The electrical panel is right here. She didn't know what she was talking about. And last week, she said, “Cover with your pool blah, blah, blah.” So they want to run the line all the way from my pool? I still don't have my answer. They said somebody would contact me. They haven’t. So why would I pay for a service that I'm not receiving?
What's wrong with their handyman number? Why does nobody pick up? I would call and they would say, “You can find your own handyman, pay out of your pocket, and submit the invoices for our approval.” But I'm not gonna do that because I would run into the liability of having to fight them. I don't want that. I shouldn't have to do all the work as a customer. Why would I do that? I have been very frustrated with this whole process.
Hi Mercia,
We are sorry that you had to wait for so long on your call. The months of May, June and still now in July have all been record breaking months for claims. Most is due to the heat waves across the country and countless customers needing A/C units replaced but it has been overwhelming the claims department and we are sorry you had to wait longer than you would have liked. As you can imagine, our customer service and claims agents are not service technicians themselves, so they would not have knowledge about the ease of adding a new outlet or any service-related issues. For that we have to rely on the service technicians that help customers. We looked in your records and we have a call from you on 7/11/2022 to add the outlet. Our claims agents did in fact try to contact a handyman on that day but were unable to find one without a waiting list for you. It says that they informed you about your option to contact your own handyman which should expedite the process greatly. If you choose your own, you can have the invoice sent to us for approval and then your handyman will do the work and we will pay the invoice. That is one option that might save you some time. We hope that your issues will be resolved soon, and in the future, it may be helpful to call directly to the claims department. Their number can always be found on our website, but for your convenience I can tell you that it is (888) 970-0087 and this will bypass the possible wait time to talk with the initial customer service agents that then direct you to claims. Again, we apologize for the long wait, but the demand for claims has been at all-time highs for the past couple of months. We value all of our customers, and we hope that our agents will be able to find someone to do your service, or if you choose, you can find someone to provide you with service and we will take care of the invoice for you.

The agent that got me set up has been good. He at least calls me back if I leave him a voicemail. If it's not that day, it's the next day. Or if I call him during hours, he will pick up. But when he sent me over to claims people, it took forever, and I still haven’t had my products fixed. And it’s probably the worst thing, because it’s my AC, and it’s hot. American Home Protect gave me options. But either I have to take time out of my day to find somebody to come look at my issue, and they will reimburse me, or wait for them to find somebody to come out here and look for it. So, they should be clearer with their instructions.
Also, the wait-time is unbearable. I sat there waiting for an hour thirty, just for a 10-minute conversation. They should have a faster response time. They can help people out faster than me sitting here waiting for an hour. I literally sat there at work with my air pods in, the volume low, during my shift just because I couldn't wait during my lunch. I get 30 minutes for that. So, I got to sit there and wait another hour while I’m doing work. Or, if they have a call back time.
Hi Sterling,
We are sorry for the delay; we are very much aware of the long waits that are far from normal for claims. You specifically are part of the group that are waiting the longest of all, which are people that need their A/C fixed. This year we are breaking heat records across the country and the back-up and waiting for A/C repairs has never been this long before. On top of our company having more claims than ever before, the actual A/C service technicians are often booked for weeks or longer. We offer you the option so that you can find someone and expedite the process, but we understand if that is not something you are interested in. Our claims agents generally begin with our own network of known and trusted technicians that we have paid claims to before, but when they are booked, our agents are forced to begin a search for qualified technicians and find one that is available for you. After an exhaustive search, some occasions still require booking a technician that has a waiting list. This is due to a countrywide spike in demand for technicians, specifically A/C technicians. We hope that you have been helped and your claims has been processed by now, but if not, it may be worth your time to simply find some technician in your area and talk to them personally to possibly diagnose and fix your issue faster. Then we will be here to pay for your invoice and take care of the bill. Again, we apologize for the delay and even though it may not make it any better to hear, you are not alone. People all across the country with and without home warranties are dealing with the same long waits and issues as you.

I had a poor experience with American Home Protect. I was not happy with them. I had a frustrating time with three things that we have that should have been insured broke. One of them got repaired and I feel like that was almost an accident that the person who was my claims adjuster was particularly generous. But there were a lot of hoops I had to jump through. We had to get a service person out to look at it and to give them a written thing to understand. But they also then said, "We can't get a service person out in your area because we don't have that. So, you have to find your own." There was one time when I found my own service person and they said, "We can't fix this. Let me give you this little note that says this can't be fixed." When I tried to send that back to American Home Protect, they said, "It's not good enough. We need X, Y, or Z."
With our microwave, the air vent cover broke off, just snapped. That was not something that you can simply repair because it's a mechanical part. They said, "That doesn't impede the microwave functioning." But they got us a new dishwasher. But it was very hard to get the claims honored. For the most part, they would find loopholes to not pay it. I'd also love to find a form of a receipt from them because it was very hard to find their contact information. I looked up and I don't think they put American Home Protect as part of their email, signature line, or subject line.
Hi Erik,
We are sorry that you didn't have a good experience using our service. We had our compliance department look at your case and we were able to determine the issues that you came across. To begin with the service provider issue, we offer the option to our customers to choose their own service providers so that they can choose someone they trust to do the work. Most customers enjoy this feature for their own peace of mind in the service provided, but I understand that you didn't enjoy this benefit. In some circumstances like the one you had, we either don't have service providers in the area or they are booked for more than a few days and we ask the customer to find a service provider to use while we will pay for their services. We do ask that you acquire a legitimate form from the service provider with the provider's information so that we can contact them in order to get details on how to pay them as well as an assessment of the situation that they are seeing in person. These are very basic standards of all home warranty companies and we need these items so that a customer does not simply write their own note saying that an item is irreparable without actually having a licensed service provider there to inspect it. As you can imagine if we allowed just a simple note from the homeowner, other people would simply write notes that all of their appliances are broken and get free replacements and be able to sell the old appliances without any third party inspection.
We did in fact replace the dishwasher with a new unit because it was truly broken and not functioning and deemed to have not been user damage that caused it. The microwave however was not covered and the reason was that it was damage caused by use rather than the appliance failing. Although a vent cover is not actually mechanical, it is a part of the microwave that can be damaged by the user and not something that will stop functioning on its own. Luckily, parts like this are generally easily replaceable by ordering it online and removing a few screws, then installing the new cover with a few screws. But because it was deemed by your repair person to be user damage, our policy does not allow us to repair it. As I'm sure you can imagine, no home warranty policy from any company will cover user damage because if they did, a homeowner that wanted to remodel a kitchen could just take a baseball bat to all of their appliances and have the company purchase all their new appliances for them. That obviously isn't a fair policy.
So we are thrilled that we were able to help you by purchasing a new dishwasher for your home. But unfortunately user damage and simple notes without contact information for a third party that has assessed the problem, are issues that will never be covered by any warranty or any company now or in the future. We hope that you enjoy the new dishwasher and if your other appliances do fail without user damage, we will be happy to help you and to repair or replace them for you. Just remember that you will need more than just a simple note and the service provider will need to list their contact information so we can get their assessment and a means in which to pay them for their service! But we will be there to take care of any more problems that may arise.

Right after we first moved in, there was a good leak up underneath the kitchen sink. American Home Protect sent Christianson Brothers. It took the man quite a while to fix it. He was out here for hours. He had to go get parts, and then come back. We also had an issue with the microwave. They asked us if we would mind finding somebody that would come out and do an assessment to find out what was wrong, and then submit it and then they would pay it if it met the criteria of what was wrong. We also had an issue with the air conditioner. The drain hose that went from the air conditioner to the outside was clogged up. When they came out, we had to pay for the call because it was a maintenance issue. Everything that's happened, except for the plumbing issue in the kitchen, we've had to pay for.
Hi Karen,
We are very glad that we were able to help you with the leak because a small leak can lead to much bigger issues in the future. Oftentimes plumbing can be a very time-consuming repair process, so I am glad they were able to fix the issue the same day. As far as the microwave repair, we offer our customers the option to have a qualified professional that they trust to make repairs and in rare circumstances our service professionals are so busy that we ask the customer to find someone from outside of our portfolio of repair specialists to take care of the issue. We are very sorry if this inconvenienced you but because we use many of the highest rated licensed professionals, they can see a build-up in demand at times. I hope that the air conditioner maintenance was quick and easy as well. In the future, you can use our handyman services to perform some of the routine maintenance required to keep your appliances and home systems running well.

Their contractors were good. With my recent claim, they had to order a breaker. They said it was under warranty. There wasn't anything structural. They don't do that. But with HVAC and appliances, they said all that's covered. It took them a couple of days to fix the air conditioning last time. But everything went fine. American Home Protect is good but they're expensive.
Hi Jeffrey,
We're glad that we were able to help and that everything worked out in the end.

When I signed up with them, it was great. However, I had one incident when I called and requested someone for a repair and they couldn't find a vendor to deal with it in my area. That's the only thing I don't like about it. They have to have vendors visit their clients when they are in need. Otherwise, I'm good.
Hi Colin,
We are sorry that your claim process did not function the way that you were hoping. One of the benefits that we offer clients is the ability to contact their own service provider so that they can use someone they know and trust. Although many clients appreciate this, we realize not everyone wants to do this. In other cases, we have not established connections yet with service providers in certain areas or the service providers we use are booked for more than a few days and we are unable to use them. In these circumstances we ask the customers to find a service provider and then we pay for their services. Again, we apologize that you were forced to search for your own provider, but we hope that the service was taken care of promptly and that in the end it worked out. What we can advise you for any future claims is that in the event of another issue with any of your covered appliances or systems, you can politely insist that our agents search for a new service provider to assist you. If you explain that you don't know anyone trustworthy and don't have the ability or time to search for your own service provider, we will instruct our customer service agents to go ahead and search for someone that is out of our normal service portfolio and take care of your issues. We hope this helps in the future and hope that the service provider you used in this instance worked out well for you!

We don't have a good experience so far with American Home Protect. It got changed over into our name and we never got reimbursed for what we sent in last year. It was to replace a leaking toilet. We had already tried to do the transfer process over into our name and it apparently didn't work and they sent the reimbursement check to the former homeowner. We tried everything. We called and talked to them to try to get them to send it to us. They said for her to send the check back. Her agent said that she sent the check back but they still never sent it to us.

When I signed up with them, the rep was okay. He did well. However, as far as me canceling it, I talked to four of them. They wouldn't quit calling, "We've gotten no payment." I said, "I'm canceling that. I took you guys off on my bank information." The first one was snippy with me and she said, "Have a nice life then." The two that I spoke to after that, called and were very pleasant and I informed them, "I'm not renewing this." Then, the fourth phone call that I got was the guy that I initially had renewed with and I told him, "I'm not interested. I felt like I'm wasting too much money." He was very pleasant and understanding.
Hi Torrie,
We're sorry that one of our agents was less than pleasant with you. But we are proud that the other three did their jobs in the way that we expect them to. It is very rare that our customers cancel their contracts, so at times those cancellations take a bit longer to make it into the system. In addition, when someone does not pay, they are uncovered which can be a big risk, so our agents make sure to call and remind anyone that hasn't paid that they are running the risk of being uncovered. Apparently our system was too slow to update the cancellation and the four agents were trying to keep you protected during that time, so we apologize for the inconvenience of the calls but hope that the three pleasant agents will outweigh the one that was not.
