    My washer broke and my dryer wasn't drying correctly. So, I called American Home Shield and the tech came in. It took him a week, but they were busy, so we waited until he came. He was very polite. He knew everything he had to check and do, and he was very quick. He checked the washer and there was nothing he could do, so he sent the paperwork for them to replace it. The paperwork took just a couple of days, but they got it and I chose my replacement, and the dryer dried correctly when he came in. He checked it and it was fine. But five days later, it stopped trying. So, I called again. AHS called him again. He came and fixed what the dryer did. When they have so much, I have to wait until they have an appointment, but when they come out, they do their job. The last time that I had called for this problem, AHS was quick. I told them why I needed it, and they said, “Okay. Fine.” It didn't take them long to set up everything for me. I tell everybody that I know to get AHS because I'm very happy with them.

    We noticed we had a couple of leaks. So, iPlumb came out. Based on the time that they had to spend, they fixed the one. Scheduling was difficult at times, just the communication with them. They never showed up. We had to have them come back out again to address the leak behind the shower. They communicated when they were coming. They had to have access to get into the spot in order to fix it. The technician impressed me with his diligence and tenacity in fixing the problem. It was the worst night that we had here. It was raining cold. He had a good attitude about it. He stuck it out.

    Shortly after we moved in, I was unable to open the garage door. It would only go up halfway and it would go back down. A garage door guy came out and fixed it. I pursued American Home Shield about some kind of reimbursement in a situation like that. I talked to three people. I got nowhere. They hung the phone up on me. They would send me to, “Oh, here's our survey.” Click. That was before we started calling for these other problems that we ran into. AHS sent out a person to rekey our locks. That was included in our service. And we've had a plumber and an electrician come out. They were fine. But they didn't want to hear anything about what had happened when we first moved in. So, it was a $600 bill we had to put out for the garage door, in which I wasn't looking for all of that, but some kind of help, because I know that things happen. Our timing was horrible, but nobody could explain to us why we couldn't get coverage that early.

    I had a plumber come over and do some work in my water heater. Sometimes I would think that everything is covered but they would call me back and say, "This is not covered, that's not covered." American Home Shield covers some of the expenses, but it depends on if you could afford it.

    When I have a problem, I call them and American Home Shield solves it. Sometimes it's easier to call them. And they assign me right away to somebody. Sometimes the people call me, sometimes I call them. They come and try to fix it. It has been good. They fixed my dishwasher. Now it's the microwave. If I need some new parts, sometimes it takes forever to get them. Other than that, AHS saved me a lot of hassle of looking for a plumber or electrician.

    I did an HVAC request October of last year, and the contractor fixed it in January. It was a big headache, specifically that service technician. They were the ones that would ignore my texts, and if they would text me back, it was two weeks later, saying that a part was on order, which extended my process for another two weeks.

    I needed some work done on my garage, so I went to the American Home Shield website on my phone and put in a request. I got an appointment the next day or the day after. When the contractor came, he looked at what I needed. He had everything on him, so in 15 minutes, he performed any work he had to do, and helped me set everything back up so that it was all automated through remote control, and made sure everything was fine. He had me sign some paperwork. Everything was 20 minutes. The process was expedited.

    Working with AHS has been consistent and easy. My dryer's control board had to be replaced. The contractor had the repair part with them. The online chat was great because it saved the trip. It limited the window of time that I had to be home, because I could do everything beforehand at my convenience and just have one appointment to fix the unit.

    GE Appliances came out, looked at the job that the first people did that left my dryer noisier than it was. When the first people came, they split the rubber that was supposed to be doubled and used it to repair the dryer and didn't use the entire amount that was supposed to go on. When GE came and ordered the part, the part came. The gentleman who did the repair showed me where the first repair did not include the rubber that goes around the drum. He said, "You shouldn't have any more problems now." He turned it on and sure enough, I've had no problems since.

    I kept trying to call the first people back, but couldn't get them back. And when I called American Home Shield, they tried to contact that first provider but they couldn't get through to them. So, the person that I had would continue to try to get through to the first provider. And I said, "It's been over a week and me trying to contact that first provider. After three days, if you can't give me another provider to repair my dryer, I may need to have to contact somebody else and pay all my own, and I will have to get back to you all with making the payment." So, the young lady that I had said, "Since your appliance is a GE, let me contact GE and see if they can fit you in." And that's exactly what they did. My dryer was fixed correctly and I have not had any problems since.

    The dryer that American Home Shield provided me with late last year had been altered. It was supposed to be a new one. That was frightening because it was giving us an electric shock. I'm very disappointed with that. It cost me $75 to get to fix what should never happen. The contractor was extremely efficient but I'm not happy with AHS. I have been with them for 20 years and I don't expect to get treated like that.

    The tech who came out for my recent claim with AHS was very professional. He listened to me. He checked different sources for it and said that he would go back and report the problem because it couldn't be fixed. They made a report and it all got taken care of.

    I've had some issues with AHS, though. With DGM Electric, they came within two days. With A&S Plumbing, they came within two days. But with replacing my refrigerator, for them to even come to check to see what was wrong with it took over two weeks. It took them another three weeks to decide that they couldn't repair it and would replace the refrigerator and then waited more to have the refrigerator delivered. So, I was without a refrigerator for close to eight weeks.

    We saw water on the carpet initially, and then we turned off the faucets and isolated the issue. I was able to dry the carpets and the wall parts really quickly, so there was no damage. Then, I filed the claim with AHS to have it fixed. They assigned Plumbers, Inc. The tech came out but this guy really didn't have any tools to penetrate walls. We turned the water on for them but then he wasn't able to isolate the leak at first. We had to show him. He was gonna write a report and submit it. 10 days passed by, I gave them a call. They said they were gonna call back in a few days but they never did. A couple more weeks passed, so I ended up calling AHS who said on their end, it's all closed. All this time, he had not submitted the report. AHS called the company a couple of times. Then they finally submitted the reports, and it said, “Stress fracture due to soil movement on the drain pipe.” So my claim was denied.

    I requested a second opinion. They offered me the second opinion and said, “We're gonna get somebody out there, and if it's the same thing, you're gonna have to pay another $75.” I said, “Let me see the report first. I don't know what this guy wrote.” They told me it was denied due to soil movement. They said, “Okay. We're gonna send an email for them to send the report to you.” But nothing happened. Finally, I called AHS again and said, "I'm not receiving anything.” By that time, it's been two weeks. Then they told me, “Your seven-day second opinion period has passed.” They didn't tell me that there was a time limit on a second opinion. Since I never got the report, I never initiated that.

    Then we got into big arguments with American Home Shield, saying they first denied me a second opinion. I kept asking, and then they said they were gonna listen to the records and then they would call me back. They never did. Then somebody else called me and they were wondering if I wanted to renew my contract. I said what was going on. They finally said, “Okay. Let me connect you one more time to customer service.”

    I told them I wanted a second opinion and they finally gave it to me. But when the GVS guy came out, he said the same thing. “Yes, this thing cracked, but who knows why?” Then he submitted his report, and then two days later, they approved the thing, and then he came out really quickly and fixed it. Everything is good now. No leakage. But I have a cut in the wall. I don't know if that's covered or not. AHS is really hard to deal with. One time, my fridge stopped working. It wouldn’t cool enough. I called them and the techs de-iced it. Then it took three months to get the ice back again. Same problem. I called them and said, “This is happening the same issue. What can you do?” They said, “You should have called within 30 days.”

    I had two claims with AHS. The first vendor was GE and they were horrible. They never came out to my house and completed the task and gave me a time frame that was not the time frame that they showed up at my house. I couldn't even reschedule. I had to call AHS and do another claim and got Sears and they were very good. It was not fixable, it had to be replaced.

But other than that, the service is good while they're there. They're in and out very quickly, typically, and professional, too. I submit my claims online and it's easy.

    My refrigerator went out. And it took them over two weeks for it to be replaced when they could have given me a gift card from Lowe's. They said it would take three to five days to load it up. I didn't like that part. I went on and ordered it through them. They said 7 to 10 days. But it was longer than that because the company they deal with was all booked up for two weeks. So, we were out of the refrigerator for over two weeks. I had to buy ice every day and put it in a cooler. I'm glad they replaced the refrigerator, but taking so long when you have medical issues and you gotta have insulin in refrigerator stuff, that's bad, when they could have just bought it from Lowe’s, called Lowe’s right here where I'm at and just did the transaction.

    Now my air conditioner is out and I don't know who's lying. I don't know if it's the air conditioner people or American Home Shield. They said they haven't gotten a thing yet. But it's been over two weeks also. So, we have no central air and heat right now. AHS can improve on trying to find somebody local to get things fixed a lot faster. But AHS has been good.

But they try to get someone out.

    For my recent claim, the tech rotted out the face bowl sink but the water came up in the bathtub. So, he had to rot the pipe out to the bathtub too. He did a thorough job.

    People should go for AHS. You'll save some money. If something breaks, like a water heater and if you got to replace that, some people don't have the cash right then and there. AHS covers you either way. They'll send somebody to try to fix it. If they can't get it fixed it, they will replace it. The coverage is reasonable and honest.

American Home Shield's service has worked the way it's supposed to and I've never had a problem with them. Every once in a while, they'll select some contractor that's got a beat-up pickup trunk and you question whether or not the person has the ability. But that's just part of them selecting contractors and they don't know what that contractor looks like.

    The air conditioner went out and AHS didn't cover it. The manufacturer only has a five-year warranty on the air conditioning unit itself, and the installer failed to register the product, which would give it another five years of warranty. So, American Home Shield gave us a discount, but they didn't pay for it like they should have.

    The outlets went out in one of the bedrooms, and the contractor came in and found the problem. Turned out it was just a loose wire that had never been connected. And I didn't know how it worked for the last six years, but it did. The tech figured it out, opened up the outlet, said “There's the problem,” and fixed it. He also adjusted the GFCI. I had put in a new GFCI, thinking that was the problem. It was connected to the same circuit, and that wasn't the problem, but I connected it wrong. He fixed that for me. He was here for 15 minutes and took off.

    We've had to call American Home Shield for two different things in the past few months, and they've been very good. The first time was a furnace issue, and this last one was for my Samsung refrigerator. The guy got it working right. It was the ice maker. He fixed that, but it quit working again. He came right back out without charging me for that and has ordered me a new ice maker which I'm waiting for.

    I've been very pleased with American Home Shield's promise. They're taking care of things. It's a good idea to have them. It doesn't cost very much per month and they've saved us a lot of money. They pay what you need them to pay. We were with them a while back, and we dropped them because it was ending up that they weren't doing what they said they were gonna do. But now they seem to have reformed. The only thing is after a service man comes out, it isn't uncommon to get a note that says, "I hope I did a good job and you'll be getting a survey to fill out."

    American Home Shield is a good thing to have. I spoke to someone on the phone. AHS got the tech person who I needed to talk to and to get the work done and that person effectively and efficiently contacted me and everything got done. It took a while for me to get the work done, which unfortunately was not good for time because it was a water heater. It was five days for me before they got the part and the tech got back out there.

    I've used American Home Shield on two occasions already and they've been awesome. The most recent claim was for the dishwasher. The handle broke and the thing was old and they couldn't get the parts for it anymore. So, that's how we ended up with a new dishwasher. It cost us $200 out of our pocket. The plumber they sent was all right, but I ended up having a leaky faucet underneath the shut-off valve. I had to replace it myself so I wouldn't have a problem. Other than that, they came right down to do the job.

    The only other thing I had just recently was they came and rekeyed our house. They offer that for free if I took the next level up on it. They came on Tuesday. The only problem I had is one key must have been off a little bit. It would unlock the door, but I couldn't turn it the other way to lock it. I had the girl make up six keys and all the other ones work fine. It was just going to be a spare one. I'll just get another one.

    I shopped American Home Shield well. My mother-in-law got the same company. She lives down the street. The end result is AHS had good reputation, but I was concerned because I picked the $67 thing and the $125 thing, and if things didn't break, it's like an insurance thing. I'm paying $67 for nothing. But eventually, stuff happened. AHS did my refrigerator and dishwasher. Would the contractor have the parts in the car? When they came out and saw what they needed, they had no parts to do it. So, they came back and fixed. And the tech was a nice guy too. The ice maker wasn't doing its thing. So, it was a broken part. He fixed it, life was good, done. That worked well.

    The light switches would arc and spark. The first company that AHS sent out scheduled the appointment and said he would be late but he never showed up. He said he was sick, so he had to change the date. We changed the date but he never showed up. When I called back and growled at AHS and said, "This is my second time using you. And the first time was good, the second is not so good. What are you gonna do about it?" They would go ahead and call an electrical company to do its thing. I said, "I don't want to have the same company. Give me a different electricity company for repairs." They said, "Okay."

    I got a thing back and it was the same company that screwed me the first time. So, I was, "That's not good. I'll call back and tell them that I'm not gonna have that company come." AHS brought out another company quickly, which was nice, because my wife was concerned that the house would burn down. She wanted those things fixed. So, we had a guy come and he was a very good older gentleman, nice, and organized. And he fixed everything and we were done.

    I got American Home Shield right when I retired. I just pay the call fee and almost everything else is covered. A-Fix Service came out recently for our dishwasher that was leaking. They called right away, but it took a little time to get them here. The technician was very knowledgeable. He didn't speak English. So, it was hard to communicate with him, but he tried hard, and he fixed it. It's working well now.

    What happens with the warranty is that they lowball everything. When they call and they order service, everything's at the lowest possible price, which I suppose is a good business model but that means then sometimes on the side, they're having to ask for more money to do the repair. So, that happened with our garage door opener. The tech could replace the motor for the price that AHS was offering them, but he couldn't do what he needed to do. So, we had to pay a couple of hundred dollars more to get it to be totally fixed.

    I've been with American Home Shield for 15 years, and they have already done everything that the contract says that they would do. We had a claim on our refrigerator. And the guy came out the next day, repaired it and no additional cost to us except for the service fee. We had him come out on the hot water heater. That was repaired the next day and very pleased with that. They also replaced the dishwasher six months ago.

    They have a service fee that we have to pay, which is about $75. We have to pay that. But all the ones except for the dishwasher, we had to pay an additional $100. We don't have to worry about a big expense if something was to break in the house. It's easier to pay that $75 or $100 than it is to have a big expense when something breaks down. So, I'm pleased with everything. We got other quotes from different companies, but anybody would not do any better than what AHS has done.

American Home Shield is reliable and helpful, and I've not had any issues that they've refused to cover. Everybody that's been there has typically been very good. There's been a time a couple of years ago that I denied having the contractor back because they were incredibly rude. But I called American Home Shield, and they were very apologetic and said that that person is not gonna be back. And they sent somebody else out.

    My washing machine which is relatively new has a control board that is not working correctly so I have to restart the laundry a number of times sometimes. And AHS is waiting for the part to come in. We're looking at March now and it's been since November. They told me that it should be about eight weeks from a couple of weeks ago, so I'm still looking at another month and a half. It's not the fault of AHS.

    I get excellent service from American Home Shield, and I've been with them for a long time. Recently, my washing machine stopped working, and the dial on it had to be replaced. I set up the claim online and the repair people were on time, courteous and did a good job. I don't have any complaints. In fact, my daughter got locked out the house at the same time I was scheduled with them. They had an appointment that was ahead of me in Newalla, but they switched it and came to my house first so I could go pick up my daughter. I appreciated that very much.

    My experience with American Home Shield has been good. They've always covered my claims, including air conditioning and a refrigerator issue we had. On the other hand, my experience with this recent repair is no good. I did a claim for an issue with an electrical breaker, and it was not repaired because the electrician said that the breakers had to be replaced. According to the electrician, it was not covered by the warranty, which was a bit of a surprise to me. However, I haven't talked to American Home Shield, and they haven't called me either. It would be great if they followed up with me on the repair, not me following up with them. Still, I had to resolve the issue and replace the breakers. I needed the electricity.

    I make the request from my phone and just process things, and I typically get a call from the representative for scheduling. It’s been a seamless process to schedule something. But I had to make numerous calls that I had to proactively follow up after submitting the claim for the garbage disposal to American Home Shield. But it was primarily as a result of the selected contractor. Having AHS cuts down on having to do a lot of the legwork myself. The deductible rate is 125 and it may not be the best pricing with competitors out there, but I've just had the policy for quite some time.

    I had a plumbing claim and from the date of submission to someone coming out was over two months. I had a tech that didn't show up three times. AHS didn't have enough people and they had no backup to send out. They only had one contractor that was available for over two months and that guy never came out. They have other contractors but for whatever reason, during the two-month period, there was no one else for me to contact and I just had to wait. They gave me an alternative, which is to get my own, but it's a major pain to work with AHS if it's not their contractor. I was not gonna do that because no contractor is gonna spend two hours on the phone for $150.

    The most ridiculous thing I've dealt with is I didn't have a working dishwasher for nine months. We slowly replaced every single piece in it and it still didn't work. had 15 appointments here. AHS said as long as the contractor says they can fix it, they're gonna authorize and I get it, they're not fixers. But they just spent $800 on a thing that doesn't even work now. My frustration was the duration of nine months was a bit excessive.

    But overall, I'm happy with AHS. I find them incredibly reasonable. They've replaced three appliances for me. I've learned how to navigate their approval systems and everything. The contractors are great, but you can also see what tier they're in. Some of them are gonna be like, "Hey, we came out here for a leak and it's not a leak, so we're gonna go." They have every right to do that, but the homeowner gets frustrated. So I just check everything and it's not a problem. I have pool coverage and if I don't know what's wrong with it, I'm gonna check everything.

    Also, I am so grateful that they do chat because I had to wait on the phone for a minimum of 45 minutes. My average was an hour and a half, which is ridiculous. And I really try to understand what people are trying to say, with accents and so on, but I find it's much more time-effective in communicating with them via chat. The chat has cut down things. Another thing is in the last year, a higher caliber of contractors are showing up in my house - not that they weren't capable before. Anyone with a 30+-year-old house or a house bought from a flipper should be under AHS.

    I filed a claim for a drippy faucet through the American Home Shield website. Immediately, 5point Plumbing was assigned. Then I heard from them that afternoon, and somebody came over the next day or two. It was quick. I didn't wait too long for a plumber to come out. He finished the repair that day. He was professional and friendly. As far as AHS, it's a little pricey for the service calls. It was like $60 a call. Now, it's 100 bucks. Luckily, I don't have to call them that often.

    This past summer, I had to use American Home Shield for my air conditioning unit, and that wasn't a great experience. I didn’t really have a lot of options. My AC unit needed to be replaced. So, the technician that came out said, “Well, we could repair it, but it's only gonna be a Band-Aid.” The AC unit was probably as old as the condo, so I decided to replace it. I'm just not happy with the AC unit that they replaced it with. I was unfamiliar with the brand although they're a division of Carrier, which is an AC brand I would have recognized. It's probably the noisiest AC unit I've ever heard. So, I'm pretty pissed off about. When it kicks on, it's noisy. When it's on, it’s noisy. It makes moaning sounds. It doesn't do it all the time. I thought my house was haunted at first because I heard weird sounds that I've never heard before. It turned out when I went outside, it was my AC unit.

    It happened to be right next to my living room wall, and my bedroom is right above my living room, so I hear it from upstairs as well. I'm stuck with it because it was a whole day of these guys doing the installation. I had somebody come and check it out. They didn't find anything wrong with it. So, I don't know if it's the nature of the Bryant air conditioning. That was the only unit offered. I didn't have a lot of options, and I didn't have a lot of time because it was in the middle of summer. It was up to 98 degrees inside my home, so I couldn't be without air conditioning. I was without AC for almost a week, too. It was a long time in that heat.

    Then, when the unit was finally installed, there is a main hose that connects from my exterior wall to the unit. It sticks out a little bit. It's right in a path that goes from the walkway outside my condo to my yard. So, it's not the cleanest installation. I think AHS is hit-and-miss. The plumber who came by and fixed my sink was fine. The air conditioning guys that came by to fixed my unit were friendly and professional. They were just filthy and left a big mess from them going up and down the stairs all day.

    The rep from American Home Shield was good and professional when I called to submit a claim for my refrigerator. The tech who came out was very respectful. He said because of the make of the refrigerator, they couldn't get parts for it like everybody else. They couldn't repair it and the max that AHS would pay for a replacement was $295. I had a choice of going with what they wanted from Lowe's, but I went and picked out something different and paid the difference. Everything has been good with AHS. Every time I submit a call, somebody's out by the next week. But when I call AHS, I get an automated system, and I need to explain in details sometimes. With my bathroom, I had a plumbing issue. There was a problem with the toilet and then, there was a problem with the bath. So, I needed to explain exactly what was the problem on each of the services. That way, they’d be well-informed of what the problems are.

    I had some problems with American Home Shield about a year ago. They double-charged me. They were supposed to have sent someone out to do some service for me and the guy could not do the work because of the type of pipes I got in my basement. So, I had to call AHS to have them send someone back out. The rep told me I would have to put up an additional $75 and I would get it back within two weeks. But it took me almost a year to get it back. I had to keep calling and reminding them. But everything is okay now. The repair guys who came out to repair the pipes in the basement did a good job.

    Last year, AHS sent this plumbing company out to fix my sump pumps in the basement because they had stopped working. When the guy came out and looked at it, he said that I might need a new sump pump. But they didn't explain everything to me and I asked if I could get a battery put on the sump pump in case the electric goes out. I knew AHS wasn't gonna pay for the battery. I understood that but I did not know that they could have still paid to have the new sump pump put in. So, I ended up having to come out of my pocket and pay for the new sum pump along with the battery. I had to get a loan for that because the guy didn't take my Wells Fargo card. I have my ups and downs from American Home Shield. Sometimes, they come through and sometime, they don't. I have to stay on top of it.

    I had to have been satisfied because I wouldn't be with AHS all these years but when I call them, I always remind them that they never called back and asked me how the people who came out were and how the service was. Because if they called me back when I had to put the additional money down on that sump pump, something could have been done right then and there.

    Suppose they send someone out and do the work, and it may be just a little thing that might've cost about $15 for them to do. But they might go back and say they had to do about a $200 job, which is what I don't like. I didn't know anything about a breaker and the guy came out. He went in the laundry room and it cost me $75 just for him to hit the little button. But I don't know what he told AHS. They never called back to see if I was satisfied with the people that they sent out. The repair guy can go back and say they did a big job and they may not have done anything.

He called up a more experienced drain guy technician and they snaked out and we could see the water come out of the drain. But the next couple of days, it started doing it again. I called them and they came right back out the same day I called them. The guy started snaking again and we found a foreign object in the drain.

    Both of the techs were very professional and courteous.

The more experienced technician came right on out and helped him. Everything's fine. I haven't had any problems now. Overall, everything AHS has done for us has been right on point.

    However, they like to repair stuff instead of replacing stuff. Although, I got them to replace my refrigerator that went out and it couldn't be fixed.

    One of the stove burners stopped working. I made a claim on the website of American Home Shield and it was user-friendly, so I didn't have any issues to submit the request. They assigned the repair company and they contacted me. We then scheduled a time and date, and they called me 15 minutes before arriving at my home, so I had plenty of time to go home and be ready for them to arrive. When they arrived, they fixed the issue very fast. They had very good customer service and expertise on what they were doing.

    I also had issues with the refrigerator, the range, and the microwave. I started a claim with AHS, then the techs came and they fixed the range and the microwave. They also tried to fix the refrigerator but in the end, American Home Shield gave me money to buy a new refrigerator because the old one was very old, so there weren't parts available anymore. I'd recommend AHS and I would like to continue with the coverage because it's cheaper to pay a copay than pay a technician to come and fix things or give maintenance to my air conditioning. Every time that they stop by to give maintenance to the air conditioning or to check what is wrong with it, they charge you at least 80 per hour. So just with the copay that I had of 75, even though they take longer, I don't worry about it.

I finally did something about it which was to have the contractor find another way to plug it in. It turned out there was a plug behind the pump, and it was a working one.

    Fairly bad experience. 1 out of 5 claims have been addressed over 8 months on a new home purchase. The contractors they get are the generally the worst of the worst. Think lower trained skilled folks or others that could not be hired by a reputable service provider. My guess is these contractors don't like working as an AHS contractor and so put in little effort, or AHS does little work to vet their contractors. In either case, if you get a bad one they WILL NOT assign a new one to you without you paying another $75-100 request fee.

    In two cases the contractor AHS assigned just refused to show up or do the basic inspection (and/or not call me back after reaching out to them 15 times). In another case the company is saying minor pre-existing conditions are not covered, even though during the sales process they will say they are. Another contractor just tried to leave the house without even telling me what was fixed and if it was fixed (which it wasn't). Another did "fix it" for it to not work the first time I tried it.

    Sadly, when you call customer service they are not helpful. The contractors tell you upfront the service won't cover much. I feel they set this system up with poor contractors to take people's money without providing any service. The ONLY good experience has been the person that re-keyed the locks. He did an amazing job. The rest has been a waste of time (literally days of back and forth) and money.

The only thing with AHS was I was surprised to learn that I had to add money when they did my refrigerator. I didn't know I was gonna have to pay part of the cost if something is wrong and it has to be replaced. I did not see that in the policy. Other than that, everything has worked well for me.

    The home warranty is like a security blanket in case there's something major with my house. I just used it recently for our dishwasher. I called the claim in, they took a phone payment for the deductible, and then they set up the appointment. Appliance Worx came out and the tech was amazing. He was very punctual and personable.

    I'm very impressed with American Home Shield. My policy has been in effect for over three years now. My wife now has a policy, and we're both very satisfied. It's a peace of mind not to have to worry about the unexpected because we know we're both taken care of. On our latest claim for a water leak problem, they sent out a company, and I was very impressed and satisfied. It turned out that I had to have a regulator valve installed. Unfortunately, they didn't cover that particular item. That was the only thing that I didn't like about that experience. I had to pay the full price. Otherwise, all the other experiences were most pleasant, and they handled everything properly. I would recommend them to anyone.

    The last contractor they sent out was after the company installed the regular valve. He had to cut a hole into the drywall of the home to install the regular valve. Unfortunately, the plumbing company does not reseal the wall. So American Home Shield sent out another company. I really wasn't totally crazy about the way they did their job. The plumber said, "Don't cover the regulator. Don't completely cover it up. Space something over it to emergency open it if you have to." These people that put the drywall on there said they can't do that. They just stuck a piece of drywall over the whole hole and covered the regulator valve up as well. If I have to get in to the regulator valve or if I need to regulate the pressure of the home, I've got to cut a hole back through the drywall to get to it.

    I wasn't happy about that portion. Otherwise, I'm very much happy about all the other services. Overall, our experience with American Home Shield is extraordinary. They're a very good company. I recognize them as a Christian-oriented company and as one Christian in this world today, I think they're well representative toward their service to their clientele.

    We had a washing machine that broke down. I called AHS. They sent somebody to evaluate the situation within two days. That person came and saw that it was the drum. He said that he was gonna report that and they would make a decision about whether they would repair it or give me a new one. Within two days, I got an email with a list of four pages of products that I could choose from to replace my machine. I picked one that would be zero charge, that was a pretty much equal match to what I had.

    There was an issue because I had a dryer on a stand. It was a compact unit. The dryer was attached to the stand. They would have had to take out the old washing machine and put in the new one. But they didn't want to do that. I was told because of the plan that I had, I had to get somebody else to come in and remove the dryer and the unit. They didn't want to be responsible. But I understood that. So I had somebody else do that. American Home Shield sent another company back. Everything was a very fast turnover. They came back and they installed the washing machine within a few minutes. They also came within the window they were supposed to come. They worked very quickly and were here for 15 minutes. Overall, AHS saved me a lot of money. I went to a local appliance store to see the machine and it was over $1,000. I got it without paying anything. So I was very happy with that.

    When Chesapeake came out, they told me that my claim was not an appliance issue, that it was a plumbing issue. When H and L Plumbing first came out, they did the switch for my garbage disposal. They informed me once the garbage disposal was working, the water in the dishwasher would drain out, but that didn't happen. Then they sent the plumbing back out here 'cause they were saying it was a clog in the garbage disposal, which was not.

    I kept getting the runaround with American Home Shield to the point that the plumber company kept calling me and she agreed with me when I kept telling her it was not a plumbing issue, it was an appliance issue. Then they finally sent somebody out last week and the gentleman took care of it. Also, one time they sent a plumber out and the gentleman told me something in my bathroom that the whole underneath would have to be torn apart. I called somebody else, which was a friend. He came in and he fixed it under $20.

    Last December 29th, the techs came to fix the refrigerator and ordered a part for it. But they haven't gotten back to me. I called yesterday as I thought the part was taking too long to come in. The guy told me that they couldn't find it or they weren't making it anymore. They asked me if Home Shield called to let me know what the next step was going to be and I said, "No.". So, they said they were gonna report it and I should wait a couple of days to see if AHS will call me back and see what the next step was gonna be.

    One time, one of the faucets outside my daughter's house broke and it was leaking. They didn't tell me that they wouldn't cover an outside faucet. I didn't know that until after the repairman came and called in. He said, "Well, they're not gonna cover it. So, it's either I fix it or nothing." But I had already paid the $100 for the service call. I had to pay the plumber to fix it plus the $100 just to send them out here to tell me they couldn't do anything about it. Other than that, AHS has been okay.

    Put in a work order for my refrigerator five months ago. Despite numerous visits to "repair" my refrigerator, it is now in worse shape than it was with initial work order. After multiple attempts to get it fixed, we asked for a replacement, but was only offered more work repair visits. Finally cancelled our policy, without a repaired or replaced refrigerator, as the renewal date was approaching but it took over an hour on phone with sales department to cancel because I was constantly muted while talking then offered multiple discounted rates to renew policy. Also went well over month (in Louisiana) without a working A/C, while multiple repair techs over a period of four weeks came out to give their opinions. It was, however, eventually replaced.

My upstairs got heated up to 78 so I figured it stopped working. I called American Home Shield and they were very prompt. They sent somebody over immediately the next day but I couldn't hold the appointment so we had to reschedule. And then given the rain, it was another two days before a tech came. When he did, he was very good. Within 15 minutes, he knew where the problem was. He said he would have to order a part, come back the next day, and have it installed. He did it.

    The dishwasher started leaking, so the seal around the door was deteriorating. American Home Shield sent a plumber out here. Instead of sending a GE Monogram guy, they sent the cheapest guy they can get. He looked at the thing and said, "There's nothing wrong with the thing." I told him, "It was leaking, but it's not leaking this second, so why don't you check behind the seal. You can see the watermarks." But he said, "It's fine." So when he came out, it wasn't leaking, but it was leaking before he came. A couple of weeks go by, it started leaking again. So we called American Shield again, and they found another guy. This guy agreed the seal was going bad, so he replaced the seal. We thought it was repaired, but it started leaking again.

    We called American Home Shield again and told them to send a GE Monogram technician. So he came out and said, "There's a seal behind that you can't see it, but you can see it's deteriorating." So there are two seals, a seal you see in the front and there's a seal on the back. So the seal on the back was going bad, plus the foam and all the other stuff was already deteriorating.

    American Home Shield has a buyback program for when your appliances are not worth repairing. They should give you 200 or 300 for a new unit. The GE Monogram guy asked American Home Shield to buy me out and give me a credit. But American Home Shield hasn't even offered to give us $300 or $400 credit toward a new unit, because that would save them money in the long run. But they never responded back. So we're in the process of ordering a new GE, and we're gonna pay whatever it costs because that's the right thing to do.

    When you call American Home Shield, it usually takes about 15 minutes to get through to talk to somebody. When you call, they say right away, "We're experiencing high volume of call thing, so it's gonna take 10 minutes. Would you like a call back?" Then you wait, and you finally get ahold of somebody, and they want to send you the cheapest guy, and you gotta demand you talk to a supervisor to send an experienced guy here. We also got the same problem with the microwave and the garbage disposal, and it goes on and on. They do everything to get out of it.

    I had about a $200 fan and it went bad after about five years, so it's not worth repairing anymore. They couldn't get parts, so they gave me $7,500 credit and I bought $800 Casa Blanca. So that was fair. American Home Shield used to be a good company. But I should stop paying them. I might as well be self-insured. I paid $14,000 for the refrigerator and then I'm paying 2,300 for a new dishwasher. They're not repairing or fixing them for me.

He did that and everything was fine. I called AHS for the current issue and they couldn't get anyone out on the 23rd, 24th or 25th. It would be the next week before anyone could come. We found a different company that said they could come that day. I left town and left the tech a key. He said the issue was the pressure switch and he was able to bypass it with something else. He didn't have the correct part and he had to order it. When the part came, he put it in and left my key at the house for me. When I got back from family Christmas, everything was working fine.

    But I had a problem with my garage door opener and the first tech who came tried to scam me. I called AHS about it and told me that if I wanted a second opinion, I would have to pay another $100 fee for another company to come. If they said the same thing that the scammer did, I wouldn't have to pay anything more. But if they said something different, I would have to pay the extra $100. Other than that, in most of the cases where I needed things taken care of, the person out and take care of it in a reasonable amount of time. Everything was done to my satisfaction.

    I have had American Home Shield for almost 10 years at one time on two different properties. Now just one. I will never go without having a home warranty. On one property, they replaced the air conditioner. They repaired, over the years, a dishwasher, two different stoves, a refrigerator, a dryer, and an air conditioner. Techs will be coming out tomorrow to fix my air conditioning unit. They had an issue getting the part because the air conditioner was so old. American Home Shield's service is outstanding and I have peace of mind.

    Their techs are the best. I had one issue about five years ago. The heater went out in the home I was living in and the technician said it was because there was too much dust on the coils. During the winter, dust gets on the heat oils. The tech said that that was our fault for not cleaning them off. But you can't get to them. I asked American Home Shield to get a second opinion. I paid upfront for the second opinion. Once it was found it was not our fault, that money was refunded back to me and they did the repairs.

    The washer started five weeks ago. The first gentleman that came out from the company ordered a motherboard and said, "When the parts come in then we'll fix it." When the parts came in, a second gentleman from the company came and said, "I don't even think you need this motherboard. These wires are weird." He put it in anyway, worked with some wires and said, "This should be what you need,” and left.

    Within 24 hours, I called them back because the washing machine still made weird noises. I called in because it would just go through the spin cycle and quit. We got through the spin cycle after they left within the next day, and it banged around badly. It sounded like it was offloaded, but it wasn't. And it didn't work correctly. The contractor sent the original guy back out. He said, "You need this set thing in the box. It’ll work." I used it to wash a little laundry, and it froze on the spin cycle again and dumped out of the bottom of the washing machine and flooded my laundry room and back bedroom. It was insane.

    I had my teenager son. We run that entire load up by hand, tossed it in the dryer and the belt broke on the dryer. So, we've been waiting on parts. I talked to the company yesterday, and they are sending the guy who doesn't seem to be as confused about the parts out on Wednesday. All the slight issues of what has been going on has been with the company itself. When the dryer died, and I looked up the belt, it was 74.95. For me to call somebody to come out and do it professionally, it's $75. So, it's worth the price. I got a nice discount on a brand new HVAC system too because I used American Home Shield.

    The toilet was loose and I was concerned about leakage. I called AHS and I was frustrated with them. They were very reluctant to help and assign someone to come and do the toilet because my toilet technically was not broken. It wasn't enough for it to be loose, which is absurd, and they weren't gonna send anyone. But they assigned a contractor, and then the plumber contacted me. The plumber they sent was the same plumber who had come out six weeks ago to do something to the toilet. The last time that he was here, I was having trouble flushing and some other things and fixed that. So this time, I knew that I was in really good hands. I knew that if there was anything that can be done to the toilet to make it more stable, he was gonna do it because he was very thorough.

    We did some testing and then the plumber tightened the things on either side of the toilet. He explained and helped me to be much more ease that even if it was really mobile, I don't have to be concerned about leaks. So it was an education for me about the toilet and other things that I could now think about and be aware of. Before the toilet, he came out and fixed the faucet in my kitchen sink.

    Our furnace was making some funny noises and got really hot, so I called American Home Shield. I tried to do the claim with AHS online, then I was having some trouble. Sometimes, I'm not quite technology inclined, so I just called. I prefer talking in person, anyways and their reps have been really good. Every time I called for any sort of anything for the house, they've been really knowledgeable of my contract with them and what that entails. They have been super helpful. This last time I called and I told the rep that my furnace was running really hot. She said that sounded like an emergency and was really nice about the whole situation.

    AHS reps also always tell us beforehand about the company that's coming out and this time, I had Kingdom Enterprises come out because they worked on the AC the first time when we were in the house. So I already knew them and that was good. It was a very busy time of the year and super cold out, so I was sure a lot of people were having furnace problems. I was waiting on them to call me and American Home Shield said that their representative would be calling me soon. But I knew it was going to be cold that weekend and I didn't want to play a guessing game. Also, I work in a school so I had a limited time to try to call.

    So I called Kingdom Enterprises that Friday instead of having them contact me first to see when they thought they might come out, so I could make plans if it was going to be cold over the weekend. They were pretty booked up so they were not able to come until Monday. Then unfortunately, they had a job that took longer than expected, and I had a prior obligation at school, so they had to come out that Tuesday. When the tech came out on Tuesday, he had everything he needed to complete the call, and was in and out of there pretty quickly. He was able to get the job done. I had to get a new blower motor and a new capacitor, and since then, my furnace has been even quieter than before we had these problems.

    All in all, the fact that we had to change the day from Monday to Tuesday was a little bit of an annoyance. But otherwise, I was very happy with everything that happened. I was also very satisfied with AHS every time I call. It's nice knowing that I don't have to spend $80,000 on whatever is broken, and that I can call them, spend 100, and go from there. The AHS warranty is a great thing to have and it keeps you protected for a lot lower cost than trying to do everything yourself.

They're not top-of-the-line, but they do what they can and services to code. However, American Home Shield has doubled their rates. The monthly rate has gone from $50 a month to almost $100 a month per unit. Also, they tell you that they're gonna replace AC units and hot water heaters. But very rarely will they replace them. They'll come up with a reason why they can't. They will repair it forever, but they will never replace them.

    We have gotten a lot of really good service out of American Home Shield. It costs around $600 a year and then it's 75 bucks now per time you have a deal that's covered. They have a list of service companies and if it's an approved thing they're gonna mess with it. Their service is normally really quick. I call them for a claim and instantly, they're gonna get somebody on it. Then they give you a list to choose from, and that's really good. Some of these contractors aren't good. But American Home Shield has always had a couple of them. We found some of these guys are the neatest people and wonderful, customer-oriented little service companies, but some aren't. We'll never want some of them again. But that's not Home Shield's fault.

    We had a new water heater that American Home Shield had paid for and it was a big brand name. They got the ball rolling and got the service guys out there to check it out. We finally got a new one and it didn't cost us anything. We got reimbursed for that one. I had a claim for the exhaust fan. I couldn't find the motor on this exhaust fan that was really needed in one of our bathrooms. American Home Shield called the guy out and we paid our 75 bucks. The motor was 300 bucks if I tried to find the motor and put it in myself. But they got it and it's working perfectly.

    When we had a claim for the dryer, a local guy came out and he was a neat little guy. He was an independent operator. He called us one time, then came over, and gave us a half hour's notice. He replaced the timer on the dryer and it was good for a few days, and then it started goofing up again. It only turned on and off when you opened the door, and the buzzer wouldn't work. So we called American Home Shield and they sent the guy out again and he replaced the part. But it lasted about a week or two and then it acted up again. When I called American Home Shield for the third time, they said, "All right. We're gonna have him come out and check it, but probably, we're gonna buy a new dryer." They did. So now, we got a whole $800 dryer installed.

    Last year, American Home Shield had a really, really good response time, getting the work done and resolving if it didn't quite work out well. They were covering all the things they should have. We have two heating air conditioning units in this house and the small one was a real pain in the **. But American Home Shield did a great job with it. That was several thousand bucks for my 75. But over all these years, we hardly use American Home Shield except just paying them the basic fee. It smooths out so that we're not having to come up with $3,000 things out of pocket all of a sudden. It has really worked that way.

    Decades ago, we had a big incident with American Home Shield. But it wasn't their fault as such. It was a really crappy local contractor. I got into a big scrap because they put in a heating and air conditioning unit, which was expensive. It was several thousand bucks, and American Home Shield paid for it, but they made me pay for any upgrades and that's reasonable. But this thing started having trouble with all kinds of shortening out and it was water all around and condensation. It was bad.

    American Home Shield kept getting a guy coming out there. So it was not good. They sent two inspector type people over there to check it out. I was really impressed. They said, "We see what the problem is." This was back in the day before cell phones and the guy took actual photographs and had them printed. I thought it was all gonna get processed. But the contractor was a liar. He made up stuff about me and things to cover himself. The headquarters somewhere believed it. I ended up spending 1,800 more dollars out of pocket so I can have heating and air conditioning in the winter. I was really mad then.

    I called the group that had a class action lawsuit against American Home Shield, and they sent me a little questionnaire and I filled it all out. I enclosed copies of my photographs of what went on and my whole story. Then I didn't hear anything more about it. But they said they were working on it. About two years later, I got a check for almost the entire amount because American Home Shield did a settlement. We were thinking about going in with another company like American Home Shield, but we didn't, and we stayed with it. But it's been pretty darn good since then. It's been a good year with them.

    My kitchen sink was clogged or slow draining. A plumber came out and snaked it. It was a small snake and nothing major. The sink worked for just a week. The plumber recommended a venting solution and said something about my pipe not having one. I went with what he recommended to help the sink flow more and for less stoppage. After he did that, the problem actually got worse than before. I called again. He responded yesterday and he wanted to re-snake and I told him, "It doesn't matter what you do. Can you fix the problem?"

    The plumber was a good dude. It was the same problem he came out with the first time. He called Home Shield and Home Shield got on the phone with me. They said that they would have to charge me an extra $200 for re-snaking it. That doesn't make any sense and that was not fair. The problem wasn't really the money, it was because it was not guaranteed. When we did the venting, the company charged me close to $300. I really want somebody else to come out for a second opinion.

    Another problem is the people at Home Shield are not really as friendly with the homeowner. I get it. But the technician is also not guaranteeing his work. So who are you gonna trust, the homeowner for 12 years or the technician? It's just a kitchen sink but I wanted to catch the problem early. I still have the problem and I still got charged.

    The heat stopped working and the contractor said the motor went out, and they fixed it right away. American Home Shield's website is kind of confusing in the way they are explaining the stuff because they say that you can do multiple things at one time. But everything is under certain groups in the website, so you can't do everything at one time. You have to make sure it's in the same group. But other than that, it's pretty easy. When you do your claim and they file it, they'll let you know what company is assigned to you, then that company calls you and schedules a time to come out. The contractors have been great. When I did have problems, it was more with American Home Shield and not the companies that come out.

    Overall, American Home Shield is a good company. I like that you can do multiple services and they're pretty quick about responding to let me know about the contractors. You can do multiple services with the same fee as long as they are under the same group. So as long as it's all electricity, I'm only paying one fee. But when I had an escalated situation, some of their reps took a long time to call me back.

    In one escalated situation, they never called me back. So you have to do your research and make sure that when the reps are trying to sell you the plan, they tell you the correct information first because they gave me some wrong information when I first started with them. They told me, "Oh, you can get anything. Like say, your toilet broke and your air conditioner is broke, you only pay $100 fee for both of those services to get done." But that was a lie because that's a plumber and an electrician coming out, so it's $100 for the plumber and another $100 for the electrician. When this happened, I spoke to a supervisor and he was supposed to listen to the call and call me back, but they never called me back.

    I had some electrical outlets that quit. I went online and requested the service. A guy that has been coming out and helping me with that came out and got everything fixed up. The only thing that American Home Shield didn't cover was the fan part of the light. That was one of my outlets that didn't work. So, they fixed the light. And the fan just sits there. But I would not be without AHS. When I bought my house, there were things that were older. And if they couldn't fix them, it was replaced. I had to have a new furnace last year.

    We had water backing up in the basement. American Home Shield sent Alto and they cleaned the sewer line. We noticed it the night before I called in. Alto was out within an hour. The guy came in. He made sure that there was no root damage and when they found there was none, he went and cleaned the line out and then just gave us some tips going forward with the “flushable wipes” and things of that nature not actually being flushable and just gave us ideas on how to go through and kind of running clean stuff throughout the month. I've had some other stuff come up too with our washer. So, it's been nice to have AHS and know that it's essentially a flat rate to get someone to come look at it and fix things.

    I had a couple of claims with American Home Shield. There was a small gas leak within my tankless water heater. It was the port that connects the gas exchange to the device itself. It needed to be tightened because you could smell gas. The tech was excellent, very prompt, kind, professional, and friendly. He completed the work very fast and got us back up and running with our hot water.

    At one point, I was not the biggest fan of American Home Shield. I've been in my home for seven or eight years and I've been with American Home Shield for about that timeframe. Initially, the service was great. But I filed a complaint with them once. I called in an order for one of my HVAC units and the gentleman that came out was absolutely the worst. Not only did he not do the work, but I had to pay the $100 fee at the time.

    I was in the process of attempting to look for someone else. It was months with one of my units where we did not have air conditioning and it was very hot. The gentleman claimed he ordered a part and it went to Wisconsin or somewhere else. He's located here in Georgia. He never once told me that the part was mailed to the wrong place and he didn't tell American Home Shield either. We had no idea what was going on.

    I have three units and American Home Shield was gonna send the same gentleman to my house again for my second unit that had a part that broke. I told them not to send him to my house again. A second company came out to service the second unit in no time flat and the service was perfect. They got me back up and running. They were also trying to rectify things with the other gentleman from the original company that American Home Shield sent. This was already six months later. A tech came within no time and expedited the service. He was able to fix the original unit.

    Just the year or so before, a similar incident happened. This was the first unit where I had horrible service. It had shown signs of failure maybe a year or two before, where it would work but then not work. At the time that I called and made the claim, the company came out and said the unit was working. I told the tech it wasn't working the whole weekend. But since it was working when the tech came, there was nothing he could do to the unit. I went on ahead and paid the $100. The next time I made a call, which was within another month or so, the unit did it again. By the next day, it started working again before the service provider could come to my home. I called American Home Shield back to cancel the service. They wouldn't refund my $100. They were like, "Oh, well. Once the order is made and the guy is on his way--" But we haven't even set up an appointment.

    Whatever policy was at that point, it was refundable after maybe 24 hours. The call was made on a Friday evening. The unit started working over the weekend. It was probably by Sunday night or morning or Monday morning when I called to say the unit was working and to cancel that appointment. American Home Shield could maybe at least have held it as a credit if I called again. I had to go through times of intermittent on and off with that same unit until it finally went fully kaput when I called.

    Overall, American Home Shield has improved. With my latest call, my hot water had to be turned off because of the gas leak. Water was running but it was just cold. I let American Home Shield know and asked if they could make the claim an urgent one because I have elderly individuals in the home. They put the urgent request in but I still had to wait for 48 hours instead of 2 hours before.

    I had a commode that was not working right. I had asked AHS to put in my file two plumbing companies never be sent to my house. But they had assigned it to one of those companies. It was called Pipe Down Plumbing. I called AHS and said, “This ain’t gonna work. They're not allowed here.” They sent a guy out here who screamed and threatened my wife when she is by herself to the point where she locked him out of the house and called the police.

    American Home Shield quickly rescheduled it for Ferguson and Son's Services. They sent a young man out. Very polite and professional. He had it working within 45 minutes and showed me what he had done, showed me the part he replaced. And it's working fantastic. He cleaned the bathroom himself. It was pleasant. Ferguson also worked on the garbage disposal and got that working for me. Both of those issues were called at the same time.

    I used to recommend AHS unconditionally, but in the last six years, I've had a very bad experience. When I try to go online to schedule it, the online scheduling doesn't work. When I try and call, I always get somebody who now is very difficult to understand.

    I had a pool pump problem. AHS told me I wasn't covered for the pool pump. I am. I bought that extra coverage. This was three years ago. And they had this person I tried to talk to. And they said, “Pool pump. Now, this is in the bathroom?” “No.” This lady had no idea what a swimming pool was. And next thing I knew, I got an inoperable pool and no one showed up.

    I called AHS to find out what was going on. I called the contractor they said was, and they said, “They canceled that.” So, I AHS and they said, “It's not covered.” “What is covered?” Since they contracted out their operators that we could talk to, I often come away disappointed. And I seem to get the same person. She doesn't have any clue whether it's a garbage disposal. I would get somebody who is difficult to understand and they don't understand what goes on in American houses, especially if I called in the evening. But the lady I talked to when I finally got to talk to someone about Pipe Down not coming down to my place was pleasant and understood everything that was going on.

But it looks like I got some cost that I didn't expect to be with and I don't like that. AHS would cover the furnace, but then they won't cover the cost of installing, something about air quality testing, and a bunch of other stuff which would mean $1,300 of extra cost on me.

    My heater wasn't kicking on. It's frustrating that on their website, I can't specify what the issue is. I just put "Other" and that's my only option. It would be helpful if I can put more comments so they already know. When the contractor calls me, I have to re-explain it. Other than that, the techs were fantastic. The only reason I have the house warranty is because of the old furnace and for that, I'd recommend AHS. If you have older appliances to keep on the warranty, it's worth it. But if I have newer appliances and some of them aren't covered, that's a little frustrating. Also, when I first moved in, I had an electrician look at a panel because there was some water damage. AHS wouldn't touch it and they do not believe it's an issue. They're just trying to put a Band-aid on it. But from a homeowner's perspective, it makes me uncomfortable that there has been water damage inside an electrical panel.

That aside, the tech was excellent and so knowledgeable. He was friendly and gave me good information on what were the best brands to look for as a replacement. The only thing is sometimes it takes a long time to get the parts because American Home Shield sends the parts to the companies that they send out instead of the company just being able to go and get the part and fix the appliance right away.

    The washer was not working. So, American Home Shield sent Cooper Appliances and they looked at it. They thought they could fix it, but when they got back and worked it up with their office and with AHS, they found that it was way too expensive to do versus either giving me choices of some replacements or a gift card to Lowe's towards replacement of what I chose. I ended up doing the gift card because I had a company in mind. I chose to take the money and get a washer and dryer that matched. I thought how they dealt with me was very fair. It was wonderful. Everything worked out very smoothly.

    Overall, I like that if something goes wrong, for a fee, I can get someone out to fix it and that's no charge. If not, I get a replacement. Their customer service reps were super helpful too. With the very first rep I dealt with, we had phone troubles that day and unlike many places, when we got disconnected, she called me back and told me what she had done to complete everything.

    Winston Doors came out and did a nice job. They were able to replace three overhead drive units in a four-hour timeframe. I had them come back once in order to be able to tweak one of the drive units, which they did.

    Some of the wires within an electrical switch got entangled, so it was tripping the circuit and several lights and plugs were not working due to the circuit breaker constantly tripping. I filed a claim through the website and it was pretty straightforward. I selected what the issue was and I could put a comment. Whitney T Holdings came out and the tech was super helpful. He seemed to know what he was doing and fixed it.

    Our garage door opener was not good at all when we bought the house. That one ended up getting replaced because there was no way to fix it. With the track, we got freezing rain which froze the garage door to the foundation, and it was coming off and bending the track. The technician that came out was able to fix everything. He was running late and was apologetic about that. It was good to at least see that he cared. My father and my brother have American Home Shield and they've had positive responses too anytime they've needed to contact them. Word-of-mouth was the deciding factor for me to get the policy and I would spread it on in a heartbeat.

    I filed a claim for the dishwasher and the oven. The contractor who came was helpful. They took their time and were clean. They couldn't fix the dishwasher because it wasn't broken, it was worn. But they did what they could.

    My most recent claim with American Home Shield was my washer. When I called them, they directed me to somebody immediately and I had a response from the company within 48 hours. But the technician that came out to my house didn't have his company name on the side of his vehicle and he did not have the proper stuff at the time that he came. I had a washing machine full of stinky water in my house for eight days. Then, he came back out, put a new pump in it, and wanted me to give him a rating on the American Home Shield thing. The whole like thing took around 11 days. What I'm finding is the technicians that most of these warranty companies send out are not reputable. But when I had my air conditioning fixed through American Home Shield a year ago, I did not have a problem with the techs. They were out within two days.

    The only reason why I keep American Home Shield is my air conditioning. But I was also told by other people that American Home Shield will fix my air conditioning for 20 years and they will never ever replace it, which is not what's in my agreement. If they can't fix it or if they can't find parts, they are supposed to replace it. I will end up replacing both my air conditioning and just dropping the warranty. It's not worth it in the long run.

    We've used AHS a few times and they're always on time. I've had different technicians out to the house for different things. Recently, A&M Plumbing's tech came out. He was earlier than expected and he fixed the clogged line.

    American Home Shield has been a great help. We'll continue to use them. We haven't had to worry about things because we just call, pay the 120 bucks, and the service is done no matter what the cost. Our fridge was serviced several times. We've had microwaves and a dishwasher serviced as well. Recently, Four Seasons HVAC came out. My wife thought the heat pump outside wasn't running properly. She submitted the claim because she thought it was freezing up inside like it had done before. The repairman who came was great.

    My son-in-law tightened up the flush valve but didn't tighten it up enough. I had to replace the call in for Prime. They came and tightened it a little bit more. It was a five-minute service call. AHS is a security blanket so I would recommend. I got a friend who joined because I told him it's not an insurance company, it's a home warranty. They're not gonna drop you if you call them about something. That's what they're there for. I've had them for about 30 years. In all these years, there's only one contractor which I would never recommend.

    AHS has been helpful. I've had a refrigerator replaced. The one that was here had issues with the ice and water maker. I've also had a repair for my AC compressor and a sewage ejector pump which was backed up. The tech for the sewage issue was fantastic. Recently, my refrigerator went out and the first two contractors had poor ratings. The second one was responsive but then indicated that they no longer worked on that model. The third contractor did a phenomenal job. AHS is reliable. It's a good feeling that I was able to get these things repaired with the service that I have.

    I called them about my furnace and they sent someone the next day. We've had extremely cold weather and I'm very pleased with the service. I really like AHS. Everybody they have sent out has been courteous. But now, I'm having problems with my water heater. I called AHS yesterday and the contractor called me today. But they're not coming out until Monday so I'm not very happy about that. Other than that, every time I've called AHS, they've been right on it. I continue to pay them every month 'cause they're always fast and courteous.

    I had a dishwasher problem that I could never get resolved. I got another dishwasher and had to pay for it. If I had gone to a dealer like Lowe's, then AHS gives them a check. But because it was a used washer that I got from somebody else, I didn't have any recourse on my insurance. That was disappointing to me that I couldn't be given anything on it because I could get it cheaper the other way.

    Recently, I had a claim for a dishwasher. The problem is with Lowe's. I paid for the dishwasher when my money came in. I still don't have a dishwasher. Other than that, I like the convenience of just calling somebody with AHS.
