Many say their appliances and systems were repaired in a timely and professional manner, and some mention affordable plans.

Phil from Black Hawk said Choice Home Warranty offered a “much better value” than competitors for about $10 more per month. “The rep was very convincing, it made sense so I pulled the trigger. … I think it will work out well for my wife and myself.”

Leo from Freeman said he “had great rep that explain(ed) everything.” Another reviewer from South Dakota said she was “completely satisfied” with her plans: “Choice Home Warranty was on top of our claim, the technician arrived the same day, told us what the issue was, and was approved for the repair the next day. AWESOME!!! I have their Warranty protect for two properties.”

A few customers had issues finding a repair person or felt that the reimbursement could have been better. Some felt that Choice Home Warranty did not honor their coverage or provide satisfactory solutions to their problems. With all home warranty plans, it’s crucial to carefully read the fine print to ensure you understand your coverage.

Susan from Rapid City said she couldn’t offer a “favorable testimony” after her garbage disposal claim was denied. “I was told the reason it was not covered was because of normal wear & tear,” she said. “I have since replaced the garbage disposal at my own expense but I am not happy about it. The reason I got a home warranty was to avoid expensive repairs. I have renewed my policy but if this is the treatment I'll receive, I may not renew again.”

American Home Shield has 3 different plans that cover up to 18 systems and appliances combined.

Another Sioux Falls reviewer, who had coverage for several years before reviewing the company on our site, said, “The AHS team have been very good to work with. We've had a furnace, a garage door opener and garbage disposal replaced and a microwave repaired. The AHS service has been a good value for us, great service for the money.”

While many American Home Shield reviewers on our site have been pleased with the company, some South Dakota reviewers have had issues with slow response times or unhelpful customer service.

Abby from Bluffton said her coverage was a “great idea gone bad.” She said she waited several weeks for a dryer repair: “They do not call you back, follow through on orders or initiate contact when things are not going well. … As soon as I get my money's worth out of them I will cancel and sign up for individual extended warranties by the manufacturer.”

One reviewer from South Dakota said, “I can call them 24-7 and they get a tech out here. Our furnace wasn't working and the friendly techs did some maintenance work on it. They did a fantastic job. The furnace is running well now. I've had HomeServe on my MDU bill for several, several years. And so it has come in handy at different times. We really appreciate it.”

Jerilyn from Deadwood reported great service in a “timely manner” after submitting a furnace claim. “We have never been disappointed in your service calls. … The service representatives are always kind and very helpful,” she said.

Never received a refund. Lousy lousy lousy company to do business with.” HomeServe did reach out to Bernadine about the issue following this review, though we’re not sure how the situation was handled from there.
