    I had a toilet leaking. The contractor came, it took less than five minutes, they repaired it completely. In that case, I was satisfied. Recently, the faucet was leaking. The tech came out to repair that, but we couldn't shut off all the water. So, he couldn't fix it. This plumbing system is unique. The water heater is in the next building on the rooftop area. It’s high, we couldn't stop the water unless we block the whole complex water. He told me that in order to completely block the water, it would cost us 1,600.

    This year, at another property, the water heater was leaking so we had to replace it. The American Home Shield vendor requested me to pay 1,200 extra. That is for the upgrade and new requirement. It’s not covered by the home protection company. So, I checked with AHS how much they would pay if I had it fixed. They said the cost they could cover is $820 and I had to pay an additional 1,200. I was also very disappointed.

    The refrigerator was making a noise. The contractor was hateful on the phone and they told me I had to give them a six-hour window to be there. I told them that I work and they said, “Do you want help or not?” I tried to talk to the tech about it. The rep told me, “Well, you can talk with the tech if you want to.” So when the tech came, I told him that I was concerned about the six hours. But he said, “That's how it's gonna be when we come back too.” I decided to keep my mouth shut because I really would like to get my fridge fixed.

    The tech said, “This is a terrible fridge. There's lawsuits about this fridge. You're gonna have to empty it all out. You shouldn’t have so much food in here.” But it was a few days before Christmas. The tech told me, “You just need this part. You need to sign this thing so I can get your part.” I don't even know what I signed. He was out the door in less than 10 minutes. They had to order a part. I've been with American Home Shield for more than 20 years. If this was my first year experience, I would never re-sign up with them. But when I had a disposal go out, the guy came out and he was the nicest guy in the planet. They were there the next day and replaced it. They were good.

    The problem had been going on since the spring with the dryer. Initially, it wouldn't turn on. They fixed that. We've had about five different contractors come out for the dryer. There was one contractor that was supposed to come back and start what they finished. But they never showed back up. We have been going back and forth with the dryer. The last time, the contractor ordered a part and put it in. Then they shoved the old lint filter in the new door, which didn't fit. It was an ordeal. But it has been resolved. Overall, the contractors have been good. They have been pretty on point. Every time I've had to directly contact American Home Shield, they have been more than accommodating.

    AHS sent a company called No Problem Heating & Cooling. There was a big problem because the tech started looking at things that were irrelevant to what they came out for. They said, "Well, somebody cut some wires." We said, "What wires? What are you talking about?" There was no way that we'd be fooling around with wires in our heater because we don't know what we were doing and that's why we got American Home Shield. He then said it was gonna void our claim. He also said that they could get some measurements for new equipment. My husband immediately said, "Wait a minute. You're going into selling already and we wanted you to repair. What's going on?"

    The techs then said, "Whoever was here last, you need to call them because maybe they cut the wires." I said, "Well, this unit has been working since 2016. That was the last time we had someone out and that was Budget that came out in 2016. So what are you talking about from 2016 to 2022 that somebody cut some wires, that it's not working?" Long story short, they sent that in. They said that I needed to call the other person that came out. I said, "Well, I can't call those people to accuse them of cutting wires. They may say you cut them. No disrespect, but you could have cut them because no one touched it. You're the new person on the block, so we don't know. I'm not saying you did it, but I certainly can't call Budget and say they did it." I called the office the next day to say that they're gonna have a meeting. The person I spoke with said that they didn't know what I was talking about. They just gave me the brush-off and told me to talk with customer service.

    I called customer service and the rep said, "We don't know what you're talking about. I normally don't handle that." Also, they wouldn't tell me anything that was on the report. I ended up calling American Home Shield and American Home Shield said that No Problem Heating & Cooling doesn't want to ever come out to our property because we accused them of cutting wires. AHS said, "As a courtesy call, we're gonna call them." I was so grateful that they said, "Well, let me get a second opinion." They sent Budget AC and they got the unit working right away.

    With this bitter cold that hit the midwest, we were so grateful that Budget knew what they were doing. When I showed the tech the unit, the Budget guy said, "What is he doing down there? No one touches that. What are you talking about? That has nothing to do with the blower motor." No Problem Heating was all problems. Budget really came to the rescue and became the hero in our lives. I told AHS to put Budget down for every heating and cooling problem we have. Other than that, I love the people AHS sends out. With any problem we've ever had, there are very knowledgeable people that get our systems up and running. I love AHS.

    AHS works with me on everything that happens. The warranty is a great thing to have. Recently, I got a microwave replacement. The claim has been open for a month now. I’m waiting for the installer so I can send them back the receipt. They said they're not going to be able to install it until the 5th of next month and it's been a hassle with them. But other than that, everything on American Home Shield's end has been just fine. Usually, they sent out people and most of those who have come out are very straightforward on the visit. They tell me what's going on. They go over and beyond and get whatever it is working.

    It's always been a great experience with AHS. But you gotta do your stuff and care for your things for them to pay for stuff. Your things can’t be neglected and then you expect a company to pay.

    The refrigerator repair happened during the Thanksgiving holiday and things got delayed a little bit. The contractor was waiting for American Home Shield to order the parts for them before they could install it. But the right parts were ordered and the refrigerator was fixed.

    When the techs looked at my issue, they thought it was the motherboard and it would not be covered. A tech had to call me back the next day because it was a long wait for him to get through to AHS to confirm that. He said it would not be covered and we said we would pay for it out of pocket. Other than that, the contractor was really nice. The main guy came with someone he was training and they were super professional. They had to travel from the Chesapeake area in Virginia which is a four hour drive on one of the coldest days. They came that far to look at my garage door and back again. I was super happy.

    There was a leak in my bathroom when we flush the toilet. A gasket needed to be replaced. The plumbers replaced it really quickly and we haven't had a problem since. They were very nice and personable. They communicated exactly what happened, got the part, and fixed the issue. It was really quick and smooth service. We also had to get our microwave replaced. They sent us a link to shop for the microwave. But they didn't communicate with me that it was just a delivery because the description said “deliver and set up the microwave” The rep explained that sometimes, deliveries don't come the day they're supposed to.

    When I called customer service, there wasn't much that the rep could do. So we were out of our microwave for another week 'cause we had to wait to have a technician come out. That line of communication should have been more clear to someone like me who doesn't know the process of owning a home. Other than that, the other techs we did were smooth.

    I had messed up my hot water tank, turning off the hot water a bunch, because the tub leaks hot water all the time. So, my hot water heater started leaking. I made the initial call in September or October and the contractor said that the water heater needed an expansion tank. It’s an old tub shower and it was a modification and that I would have to pay a certain amount and they were getting a quote. It was about 1,600 and I agreed to it. It took me a lot to get the funds together but when I called back in November, I paid 900 down to Brick Street Plumbing. The first time the plumber came out, he said that he didn't have enough room on his truck for the toilet, which was supposed to be replaced and the faucet for the tub hadn't been ordered. But he worked on the hot water tank. He couldn't put in the garbage disposal because he said that an electrician was needed to investigate to make sure the wiring was okay.

    The electrician who was scheduled came out and said that it was just the old snake wiring and he didn't wanna go all through the wall to replace the wiring and it should be fine. The hot water heater did not fail because the garbage disposal failed, but it was not a wiring issue. So, I said okay and they left. The plumber came back and scheduled the plumber next time and it was supposed to be on a Friday. They were supposed to arrive at 12:00, which was weird and I said, "Okay." American Home Shield didn't even call me. I called them and I said that the plumber was supposed to be here anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00 and the rep said they scheduled that wrong. He's gonna need more time for that job and should have scheduled him in the morning. I said that was what I thought and I kept asking if they have ordered the tub piece yet. The rep didn’t know and rescheduled the service to the following Friday.

    The following Friday comes and I get a call on Thursday that said the plumber couldn't make it out the next day due to an emergency in his family. I said I understood. He was supposed to arrive the following Wednesday. I called at some point and told Brick Street that I wanted some money taken off my final amount because of all the rescheduling and it's been their fault. The rep agreed to take $50 off, which was a drop in the bucket.

    The plumber came out the following Wednesday, which was the Wednesday before Christmas. He got here and put in the garbage disposal, but he couldn't get the circuit to make to it. He said that the electrician would have to replace that. American Home Shield ordered an electrician, which I haven't gotten a schedule yet of when he's gonna come out. I'm the one calling AHS and Brick Plumbing to find out when this stuff is going to be done. They're not following up and I'm frustrated because AHS has it as closed. And every time I call them, I have to go through the whole story from the beginning.

    The plumber couldn't get my main to turn off the basement and I asked if it needs to be replaced. The plumber said he didn’t know if American Home Shield did it. So, he had to go out to the street to turn the water off and he couldn't get the water to turn off. He did that last time. But this time, it wouldn't work. So, I had to call Western Virginia Water Authority and get the water company to come out and replace the valve. They left the water off because they thought I had plumbing issues, which I do. But I have a hot water heater that cannot go dry so I had to call the water company back and tell them to please turn my water back on. Even though it's leaking 24/7, I have to have water on. So they did that. Apparently, they replaced the valve on the street so the plumber can get the water turned on.

    The plumber didn't change the toilet that day and it is sitting in my downstairs hallway. So, I'm still using a bucket for that. My tub is still leaking and this has been going on since September. I don't have the money now to find somebody else because Brick Street has $900 of my money. The last time the plumber came out, he put the garbage disposal in but I'm waiting on an electrician to schedule to come back out again. The plumber told me his company messed up and still have not ordered that faucet for my tub. It was the week before Christmas and it was literally days before Christmas Eve. I've been calling them non-stop asking them to please order that faucet and I just left it at that because I didn't want to get upset or irate. It wasn't the time in my mind with the holiday approaching to go crazy. I just looked at him and I shook my head and said that I don't doubt it because I've literally called them at least four times.

    When I get American Home Shield on the phone, it's never the same person and they don't read notes or don't have notes. Then, they would say that they have my service as completed and that sets me off. Then, when I called back and they said they had to send the electrician back out, somebody had the nerve to say they might charge me the 150 again. I said no because I'd like to just somebody order my faucet that has my $900. So, I'm livid.

    The person from AHS says every time that he or she will call me back after they talk to Brick Street Plumbing. One time, I didn't even get a text telling me the plumber was coming out. This goes on for weeks and American Home Shield will promise they're gonna call me back that afternoon after they confirm and they don't call me back. There are about eight different reasons why I'm upset and my water is still leaking and I still have a broken toilet and my garbage disposal doesn't work.

    I just have to let the water leak and I asked what would happen if I have hot water leaking down the pipes for six months. The plumber said the pipes wouldn’t give out. But pipes aren't meant to take hot water non-stop. Not to mention that now, my hot water heater will probably break sooner because it's constantly having to heat water. People ask why I am still using AHS and I said that they have bulk buying and they would be cheaper than me getting three quotes. They're great if they could just get their stuff together. Brick Street is too big for their britches or they don't know how to run a business.

    My HVAC was shutting off. I did a service call for cleaning. It needed that, but then the tech found something else. It got upgraded to an actual service call. He was nice. He did what he needed to do. I've been satisfied with American Home Shield except for one incident. I had a previous service call where it wasn't that great. But I didn't call American Home Shield and that wasn't their fault. It was the tech.

    The first guy never showed up, so they reassigned it. The second guy told me to defrost my refrigerator even though it was empty. It had an ice maker problem. The third guy who came in who was the manufacturer's, said, "That has nothing to do with it. It needs a new motor," which was what the first tech said. So, the third guy had it in his truck and did it in five minutes. The second one definitely didn't sound like he knew what he was doing.

I haven't really had any issues with the technicians. There was a technician before Swift that came out to look at the dishwasher and he just disappeared and went MIA after he couldn't figure out what the problem was and that was where Swift came in.

    We also had an electrical issue that we needed somebody to come out ASAP. But AHS couldn't get anybody out, so we ended up calling an emergency electrician. They could get somebody out until the next day. To me, it was a critical dire situation and they couldn't help us with it.

He came and I told him to call me when he got there, and he did and he said, “I found a leak in one of your pipes. Because you have to pay for the Freon, do you want me to put Freon in it?” He wanted to know if I wanted to go and buy that Freon ’cause it’s $100 a pound. I said, “Yeah. Great. Go ahead and put it in, and I’ll write you a check when I get there. I’m five minutes away.” I came and he put it all back together, and he put the Freon in it.

    The individual people that I have dealt with when I call in for a problem with my home are very kind, sweet and they want to be very helpful. But I, unfortunately, had a recurring problem with my air conditioning unit, the same thing happening over and over again. In order for me to not continue to pay for my $100 deductible and to have service done at my home under that warranty, I had to escalate it.

    To escalate it, I had to get firm with the people on the phone and it was a hassle. I feel like I pay a lot of money to not have hassle. I know that that's not the problem of the people who I'm speaking to because I know they're just doing what they're told. It's a structural problem within the company that, in order to be treated fairly, I had to be a savvy customer. I had to keep pushing the issue to get it escalated.

    And for the amount of money I'm paying for this warranty, I shouldn't have to do that. It should be, "Yes, ma'am. Completely understand. We'll take care of it for you," type of service. I don't want it to get back to them that I wasn't happy with the people that I call into because it wasn't their issue. They should provide a higher level of customer care for customers who have paid and have recurring issues. They could do better.

    Then, another thing they should do is if they know a customer has escalated and has had to have a different provider come out to fix an issue that's recurring, they should call and should ask me how I'm doing and they should find out if my problem was resolved and not wait until I have to call back versus just sending me a text with a five-minute survey for feedback. It should be personal.

    I know they're the best on the market. I did my research. I have no doubt. But they have room for improvement. They also should do a better job vetting their vendors. The first time I had a problem with my air conditioner, the first people they assigned me to never called, didn't have a voice mail that was set up like a professional business, didn't hear anything. Because there was no follow-up on the part of AHS, then it was on me, the customer, to call them back and say, "Never heard from your vendor you matched me up with. I want someone else. Don't send me to that company again."

    Then, the vendor that they sent, called and were great. But they had to come out twice to fix the problem because it didn't fix it the first time. Then, it happened a third time. I had to call AHS back and say, "It's happened again. Find me a different vendor because the people you've sent out twice now haven't been able to fix the problem." That was all on me to have to keep calling and managing my situation. On their end, there should be more personalized management when you're paying customer is having an issue and using your services.

    Right now, I've got another issue with the microwave. They sent someone out and he fixed it. But it's been less than 30 days, the microwave has now done the same thing. I went through the online to get another service call and I'm waiting for the vendor to call me back. They have another chance to wow with their service if they can get it right.

    Our AC unit was blowing out the air but it wasn't blowing out the cold. So, we called and the tech came out. He arrived later than it was originally scheduled. He called in and said he would be delayed. So, that was all good. And once he got here, the service was fast. He told me that it was the capacitor, and he replaced it. The experience with American Home Shield has been good so hoping it continues that way. We were calling individual workers before and it was too much stress on us but we don’t have to do that with AHS.

    Having a home warranty helps with repairs. When something breaks down in our home, we just have to pay the low fee and American Home Shield expeditiously gets someone out. That has been great, up until recently. They should get better contractors, make sure they're very reputable, and that they're going to do their job. Their contractors have been very finicky and not so good to work with. I've had to go to American Home Shield multiple times for them to have someone to come back out to assess the situation more than once. The first time it happened, they charged me again.

    This last time, when Valleywide came out, it was within the 30 days, so there was not an additional charge. When the guy came out, he found exactly what was wrong versus the company before that did nothing to fix my washing machine. When they came, my washing machine worked a day then it broke again. They also came out a second time, and it took them almost two and a half weeks to even come. I had to go to the laundromat or hand wash clothes, and I have four girls. On the other hand, Valleywide was great. Their guy was quick, efficient and he fixed my machine.

We had some storm damage on our roof recently. The techs replaced a couple of shingles. They did a good job from what I could see. We had a claim on the AC also and they did a good job on that.

    There was a clog with our kitchen sink, and it happened a couple of times before. I tried to fix it, which I was able to. I was not able to get it this time around, so I called to have it serviced. I got an email that told me exactly who the contractor was, then I got a phone call from them letting me know who he was as well. The contractor was great. He was prompt to call and to show up, explained the situation, and fixed the problem. While this experience was good, others have been different. It depends on what contractors are selected, and I debate whether I'm gonna keep American Home Shield year after year.

    I heard that American Home Shield was a relatively good home warranty to go with, so I picked it for our home. Initially, I could only do one claim at a time. We paid for the home warranty as part of our closing cost, but it wasn't paid directly to the company. Once it was paid though, most of our claim experience has been smooth. We've used it for an icebox. There was water dripping from the inside the freezer and it appeared to be coming from the icebox. We submitted a claim through American Home Shield, and they were able to get somebody out here. The repair man confirmed that there was an issue with it and that he was going to replace the icebox. He came back the next week and fixed the issue.

    The issue was originally a leak under the sink. A contractor came out one time and fixed it, but it created other problems in other places of the house. There are other parts of the plumbing that need to be looked at along with some other issues with our HVAC, electricity, water soaked floors, walls, and other things because the leak had been going on so long. The contractor also did some things when they were writing a report. They were allowed to charge $100 just to send in a report to American Home Shield, which I didn't think was right.

    The contractors are good for simple type events that they're coming out to get. I've had good deals with most of them. They've done what I've asked and fixed the problems. But when it's something that needs to go deeper behind what needs to be dealt by a contractor, that gets a little more difficult which is the current issue with the plumbing. But overall, I'm very positive with American Home Shield. I've kept them and I plan on keeping them. They've been very responsive. If I need a specific contractor that I am good with, they are able to provide that contractor.

    We turned on our fireplace and we smelled gas. Then we went to use our stove. We have a gas stove. After we finished cooking, we turned the stove off. It started making this clicking sound with it being off. Then the circuit breaker cut off. We weren't able to turn the stove on. So, we called BG&E, which is our electric and gas company. There was nothing wrong with the gas. So, then we called American Home Shield. They had an electrician come look at it, and he was not able to fix it. He said that an appliance tech would have to come out. So, we had to wait like another week. We probably went three weeks without it working. Luckily, we have an electric stove plug in that we were using.

    Once the appliance tech came, which was from another company, they were able to fix it. It really wasn't anything they really had to fix. He said, with the gas stove, they tend to make that clicking sound. So he just plug back the gas in and it started working again. He was good. He explained to my husband exactly like this happens a lot with the gas stove, but there's nothing wrong with it. He checked the breaker, and there was nothing wrong with it. He was thorough with helping my husband walk through it.

    I don't have any issues with American Home Shield per se. It was Mayday Electric that didn’t really know how to resolve the issue and the window that they gave was way too big. But as far as American Home Shield, once I called in the claim, they were able to schedule Mayday to come in and look at it. Then once Mayday wasn't able to fix it, and it got transferred over to the other service, I didn't have any issues with American Home Shield taking care of that.

    I would recommend AHS. I have recommended it to some friends. They're reliable. They're on time. If I call them, they're able to schedule services as best as they can.

    With American Home Shield, I save a lot of money with home repairs and not having to buy new equipment. When my Whirlpool washer started acting up, the control board wasn't functioning. You could get to work intermittently and wash stuff. So, I had them come out and take a look at it. Some people tried to do some stuff, but it still didn't work a day later. Then they replaced the control board and it would work intermittently, and then it stopped working. It's been working again since that time, but they went ahead and ordered a new control board and another piece. It came last week and all that is scheduled to be replaced sometime next week.

    American Home Shield is like a savings program. It’s almost like if I put $1,000 away a year for appliances. We don't have to worry about them because the appliances are either repaired or replaced. Pro First came out for the oven. They replaced the motherboard and the sensor. We tried the oven again and it was not maintaining the heat. We would set it for 350 and all of a sudden, it would be 300. They came back and replaced the same sensor.

    The problem with American Home Shield is some of the people that they hire to process your original claim are foreign-speaking. While they're very good at the second language English, it's very difficult to understand them. You're on the phone for quite some time trying to figure things out. The technicians' work ethic is fine. The guy from Pro First was a nice guy. It's his company and he's the only one that works there so if he can't fix a unit or if he just replaces parts, he scratches his head.

    That aside, I recommend American Home Shield when people ask me about the product. I'm satisfied with the product overall. It's just they increased the service call amount from 75 to 100. They sent an email notice and I called to speak to somebody about this increase. It says “valued customer” but the increase was 25% for the same policy. I asked them to adjust it back to 75 and I haven't heard back from them. It was supposed to go to the accounting office so I gotta call them again even though they were supposed to call me. We have a very poor follow-up.

    American Home Shield is the best company I've ever worked with. They send us an email and a text to let us know what company is going to be contacting us so that we know who's coming to our door, and if they're real. Then if they don't call, we call them because they send us the number. It's super easy to get ahold of customer service and get a claim processed. They fixed my refrigerator twice. They also fixed my heater for my house and my microwave. This is going to be my third year with American Home Shield and they fixed multiple things. When I call them, it's easy to get ahold of customer service 24/7. Then by the next day, the company they refer will be calling me and setting up an appointment. So I like their professionalism. They’re efficient and fast.

    I called in a claim for the exhaust fans in my bathroom and the contractor was very professional and quick. They showed me what was wrong and they spin it so it could see. Then they ordered the new parts and they were back in just a couple of days when they got the part. Unfortunately, there was a problem with them reordering the fan. They sent the wrong part, so they had to get the new part. But they haven't done it yet since this happened right during the Christmas holiday.

    It takes months for them to resolve anything and when you talk to a customer representative, sometimes the language barrier is bad and there's nothing they can do. There's no escalation and no supervisors. They really need to have an escalation department. Another thing is if you ask how you can leave your feedback, they hang up on you so you won't leave that. Right now, I'm still waiting to hear from the dishwasher installer and it's been months. It's the same thing with my refrigerator.

    My thermostat had lost the power and it wasn't working. American Home Shield doesn't have more contractors in the area. They just have one assigned for the entire city, which I find strange. When I looked at the reviews, they were very bad for the contractor. But since I had already assigned it, I just went and luckily, the contractor who came was very good. It was an easy fix. Having one contractor in the entire city is not a good idea. I may think about switching to a different provider because just one contractor makes it very difficult. Sometimes I'm in the emergency and the contractor is getting too many calls. Other than that, my service was done well. And American Home Shield is a good service.

    The toilet in the guest bathroom was leaking. When you flushed it, there was water that was coming from around the bottom of it. Then, the other toilet was loose. So, I called AHS and they sent someone out who ultimately had it repaired. I ended up with two contractors because the first one who came went back and told AHS that it was not a wear and tear, and that it didn't meet their criteria for service. He said the O-rings needed to be fixed but he didn't even lift the toilet. He also didn't unscrew the bolts and lifted to see why it was leaking from the bottom, which wasn't cracked. He just looked at the toilet and moved it with his hands. Then he washed his hands and made his report. He had also written up a bill saying that I would have to pay $350 for each of the toilets to get it fixed.

    So, I called AHS and I told them that that was unfair and not acceptable since the tech never even looked to see why the toilet was leaking at the base. So they sent a second contractor out. I was told that if it turned out that the report was the same, then I would have to pay the second fee, and I was fine with that. When the young man from the second contractor came in here, he said that the problem was probably the wax ring. He took the bolts off, lifted the toilet, and true enough, the wax ring was worn. The flange in one of them needed to be repaired, too. He had one on his truck so he fixed it. Then he put it all back together and caulked around the toilet. Since then, the toilet has been working fine.

    For the second toilet, he said it needed to have the wax ring replaced. So he said he'd clean it up and put a new wax ring on. He also said that at some point in time in the future, we may need to have the flange changed on this one but he didn't have one on his truck at that time. So he did what he had to do and he was perfect.

    The other thing is that, when AHS put the order in, they didn't give him the order for the second toilet. They told him it was one toilet that needed to be fixed. So when he came, I told him that there were two toilets that need attention. So he got in touch with AHS and they approved going ahead and working on the second one. He was very respectful and knowledgeable. I was also pleased with the first tech as he was a gentleman, but I didn't like his report and I didn't believe him. We had a snafu but AHS resolved it to our satisfaction and didn't give us a lot of hassle about it. Also, we've had our contract with AHS running for years and we've never had a problem with them.

    We had water all over the floor in the kitchen. The icemaker was leaking water. I called American Home Shield. It was easy to get through. I was given the location, the name, and the phone number of the contractor. They were good. I had changed out a water filter I had put into our refrigerator. We just moved here. So, the water filter didn't fit. I couldn't get it to fit right. It was a new type of water filter, and I thought it was the wrong part so the tech came out and he took it out and put it back in and he said it was the right part but I hadn't put it in right. The only thing is we had to wait a long time because there had been a freeze in the area and there are not many contractors around here. We had to wait like a week and a half.

    It seemed like AHS had the most positive reviews and the best coverage, and they have come through for us. It seems to be covering everything so far. It has covered things that have happened here that we've needed outside help for. It's covered almost everything. It hasn't covered outside events like things that might happen under the house or outside the house, but I guess that's the case with almost all of these home warranties.

    American Home Shield is not responsive. The last time I talked to them was the 21st and for the third time, I was promised that I would get a call with a new contractor assigned the following day, but I didn't. This last time they said, "They'll call you with a new contractor in 48 hours." I asked to speak to a supervisor and they said, "A supervisor will call you in 24 hours." But that was the 21st and today is the 27th. So it's Christmas, and things are not getting resolved.

    I started the service with American Home Shield in July and they offered a complimentary rekey service. So I took advantage of that, and it was great. Then my heat pump seemed to be going out. C & R Heating came out, which was the same company I've seen subsequently and they were wonderful. It turned out to be a really simple thing. So it cost me $100 for this service call, which I didn't understand upfront that there was $100 fee every time I have a concern. But they fixed it right away. So I was happy.

    I called American Home Shield about my thermostat because it acted really weird for two days in a row when it would register 83 degrees. But it wasn't required. I played with it and read the manual. I tried to reset it myself but it didn't seem to work. C & R Heating called and rescheduled the service call for two days later. So I said okay. That was all as soon as they could get here. Then I gave it a day, and the thermostat seemed to right itself again. When C & R came out, they said, "No, nothing's wrong with it." So I said, "Okay. Well, thank you for coming. I'm glad you checked it anyway." That was that.

    When my hot water tank was leaking from the bottom, I called American Home Shield and C & R came out. They said, "Yes, this is not good. We need to replace it.” So they did and that was wonderful. Again, it was a $100 service call. I thought everything was fine. But three days later, it was leaking again. We bought a pan that they could put under it, which they did for us when they installed it, and it was full of water. So we called them and they came out. The plumbing was inside the house and they refinished the basement, so the tech said he couldn't get to it. He said that they would call the next day, and he had other calls he had to go to, which he did, which was fine and reasonable. Then it started leaking from the top.

    During this time, they said they would call every day but they never did. So I would call back a few days later and they would say, "Someone will call you tomorrow." They never did. It's the holidays. My neighbor did come over and look at it and tell me. He's a retired contractor and he said it does not appear to be installed correctly. He said that there's an expansion tank on top of the hot water tank. It's connected from the top of the tank, but it's leaning and resting on top of the main water tank. The hose is short and it's kinked. He said, "That's very unsafe. That's not correct installation." My pipe is freezing because it's my first winter in North Carolina and I don't know what's going on.

    Every time I call American Home Shield, I get a representative who's been perfectly wonderful on the phone. I've spoken to three different people and they're doing their job, but there's a lost connection very obviously because I'm getting absolutely no response back. So I'm having a really not good experience.

    I had a leak coming off of my water heater. I went to the American Home Shield website and filed a claim. A plumber came out and he was very nice. He replaced the pipe and did it quickly. But he didn't follow the trail far enough after he left. The next day, I noticed the pipe was still leaking so I had to get him back out. He had to come back out and replace another piece of pipe. It's good now.

    Right now, I have a water heater that's out. I called American Home Shield and they put it in a tech. That person said they can get me on the schedule. But it's been three days later and I don't have hot water. Three days later is a long time. It's basically gonna be a control valve issue. I asked the tech, "We're pretty sure it's gonna be a control valve issue. Is the guy even gonna have this part?" They will have to order it and that will be another 10 to 14 days. When you're dealing with a water heater and you don't have hot water in your house, two weeks of waiting is not a sufficient time. I had to call Lowe's and they had a guy out this morning. They're gonna come and do a replacement tomorrow. It's gonna cost me a whole lot more money but I can't wait two weeks for hot water.

    A couple of years ago, I had a refrigerator go bad, and it was the same thing. I was told, "We'll get you on the schedule. It's usually a couple of days." They're not in any hurry to come out. I had to buy =one of those chest freezers just so I can not lose food. If American Home Shield can get people out there quicker, then it would be better. Aside from that, they do get people out.

    When my air conditioner quit working, American Home Shield didn't fix it since there was a dent in the side of the condenser box outside.

The dent had been there for years and years and years and air conditioning worked just fine.

    American Home Shield said, "Well we can't cover that because there's a dent there and we don't know if that's what caused the problem." I said, "That thing's been there for years and years and years. And you guys came out and changed the condenser unit inside that thing, you know, a few years back before that and that dent was there and there was no hassle then. So, why now?" There's nothing I can do about that now. But other than that, American Home Shield has been good. They fixed my water heater, dishwasher and garbage disposal.

    The heater stopped blowing warm air. When the first contractor came out, they said that it couldn't be repaired. They just wrote up a whole bunch of nonsense that wasn't true, so I disputed it. I also had had a bad experience with that contractor when they did my home a couple of years ago. The guy from that company took my unit outside and said he was going to clean it. When he brought it back in the house, he wrote up something and I ended up paying $900 out of pocket, because I ended up having to use another contractor, which charged me for all kinds of wiring. That experience alone made me not ever want to do business again with that contractor. I felt that whatever was wrong with the unit probably didn't even need any of that work until he broke it. All of it could have been avoided had we had a competent person come out to start with and didn't break the unit.

    When I told AHS about what happened, they didn't anything. But for this recent claim, they said they were sending out another contractor for a second opinion. With AHS, sometimes, it feels like I pay more and don't get the service. They also don't vet their contractors greatly. But at other times, when they send a good contractor out and I get the problem fixed, it feels worth it.

We had to go on our own, and pay upfront out of pocket for that service. Then, it took months to get reimbursed. The service offers good value. But in some cases, it's difficult to talk to someone and share enough information about what the need is and what they're doing to address it.

    The central heater went out so I called the 800 number that American Home Shield gave me. It was all automated and they said they would send me a text. That would include the name of the person and the company that was going to do the work, which they did in about 20 minutes. They told me the day that they would be out to do the work. I waited a couple of days and workers showed up. They were here for about 15 minutes and fixed the central heater. It works just fine now. This last week was 17 below on a Thursday. With American Home Shield, I don't have to worry about my appliances in the house because at my age, I wouldn't have the money to buy new ones. This way, if they go wrong, they fix them and keep them working.

    My most recent claim with AHS was my pool pump. It had failed and I had a service technician come and replace a component for it. That particular service tech had been out to the house before for other service calls. It was very casual and friendly.

    AHS is well worth the money. A lot of times, the home warranty companies get a bad reputation for trying to get out of there for as little as possible, but I've never had that experience. I've had some very favorable surprise coverages. However, we've been with them for a number of years and their prices go up. It started out that it was $75 a month and now it's $108 a month. The price increases don't seem to be justified. They seem like they're arbitrary.

    Do not use this company. Save yourself money and aggravation. Better to call a qualified service to get something fixed. They will send you the worst company who doesn’t get any business, and then you will wait a few weeks or even months if you are lucky. I recently contacted them about my ice maker in the refrigerator, since it has stopped working. First of all, they dispatched a service call and advised it would take 48 hours for the contractor to contact me. 48 hours passed, no one contacted me.

    When I reached out to the assigned contractor, the receptionist had no clue about the service call to my address. After about 20 minutes on the phone, she was finally able to find it. It was already Friday. She mentioned that someone would contact me the following Monday about “SCHEDULE” and let me know what day. When I asked what day it would be scheduled for approximately, she replied, “POSSIBLY WEDNESDAY”. Keep in mind this is only an ice maker in a refrigerator that I can live without for a few weeks, a month, whatever. God forbid your heater to break in winter time, or the AC in extreme hot summer, or a burst pipe. On Monday I got no phone calls for the whole day. At approximately 5 pm, I decided to call myself to see when my appointment would be scheduled. I was promised Wednesday.

    On Wednesday, a so-called “technician” came into my house just to let me know that I was not properly opening and closing the French doors on my refrigerator. Apparently, first you have to open the left door, then the right door, and after that you have to close it in the same sequence. What a stupid thing to say. And then they told me that they have to put some kind of silicone inside the refrigerator for the ice maker. Telling me that he would send me a YouTube video if I didn’t believe him.

    Do you think a professional would tell you something like that? A YouTube video, huh? Is this how you diagnose a problem? Lucky for him, I wasn't home at the time of the appointment. I wish I had been present, so he could look into my eyes and tell me that I was not properly opening and closing the doors. I would've thrown him out of my house right there and then. If I checked the reviews prior to them showing up, I would never have let them into my house. After numerous attempts to contact American Home Shield to try to resolve the problem, I was forced to break the contract.

    I was told by a few supervisors that there is a process that they need to follow and this is how their process works. After a contractor is assigned to be at your home, you can get a second opinion. However, you have to wait at least 48 hours for that first contractor to explain what happened and only then will they be able to determine whether they're going to allow a second opinion. Do you believe that a contractor who is supposed to schedule a service call within 48 hours in the first place didn't even bother to call you, they will reply to you within 48 hours?

    I actually did try and gave them 48 hours, and nothing happened. I was given the same story again and needed to wait for the contractor to reply to them. And all you hear from them when speaking to any of them, including supervisors, "I understand your frustration", NO YOU DON'T. You don't need to understand my frustration, but what you need to do is to create a system which is going to work out better and you can retain some of your clients. Also, two months ago they raised the price without even letting me know. I believe that I was supposed to get some kind of notification to let me know that you are raising the prices. And don't automatically assume that it will be OK.

    I want to get my full 100% refund for one year worth of payments, including the service fee charged, and the cancellation fee of the contract, where it does not indicate anywhere on a contract that there is a cancellation fee. I will take this to Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs. SPOT PROVIDING SERVICES IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE IT.

    American Home Shield is fast, dependable, and when I need them, they stick with the contract. For some reason though, they don't have roof repair on their list. I thought, "Well, if we get a roof leak, I'll pay out of pocket for it." Still, they're a good company. I save money and I don't have to call a contractor to come out. I just pay the $100 service charge, and I'm not paying for the actual parts and work.

    My dishwasher is only a bit over a year old, but recently, I was having problems with it. The timer was stuck in one spot and it burnt out something. The repair people did what they were supposed to do and they had to come twice for the dishwasher. It's not their fault though. It was for parts, and now, the dishwasher is perfect. I love it.

    From the time I reported that my AC went out until the time that it was repaired, it took about five weeks and I wound up replacing it myself because the first person they sent out couldn't get here until a week to come and see what was wrong with it. When he got here, he had to submit his findings to American Home Shield. So I had to wait over the weekend. When he submitted that finding, it wasn't all the way covered. But I was told I will have to replace the Freon and I was good with that. I could do the Freon thing. But the part that he said needed to be replaced, there was a discrepancy in the parts.

    There were two parts that were not working but American Home Shield would only replace the part that the tech couldn't fix, even though the fix was temporary. It was gonna go out. Somehow the two are connected. So I was gonna wind up having to pay the Freon again because in order to come out the second time, it was gonna have to be bled dry and repaired and then the Freon put back in it and couldn't be recaptured. It was just that I would be out of the cost to replace the whole thing.

    American Home Shield wouldn't agree to replace the whole thing because they said it could be repaired. I got it and I was numb at the end of that process. I was numb at how many times I had to call and how the people who were on the phone were reading from a script. They couldn't answer any of my questions. For the amount that I'm paying a month and the cost to have someone come out, I could have put that money in my pocket and managed my own processes, and got the work done myself, especially since I wound up paying for the replacement of the air conditioning unit anyway.

    My plumbing was the most recent thing that I had a claim with. I called American Home Shield because I had a leaky faucet in my shower. Since the contractor was out here, I added to my list via text if they could check the pressure in my cold water. The technician came out here and said he fixed the leak and that the lack of pressure in my water was because the valve was clogged. AHS said that was not covered in my warranty and they sent me a quote to get it fixed. But the faucet started leaking again.

    I called the tech back out here and he said, "We replaced everything in there that could be replaced. If that doesn't fix it, then it's got to be the valve." So I called and spoke to the tech's company, and let them know what he said. They said, "Yes, he told us. But since the valve has already been disapproved, then we can't go in and fix the valve." But I had already been through this ordeal and back and forth with my AC, so I knew to ask for a second opinion.

    I asked for a second opinion and the contractor came out here. The guy found what was wrong was what I said was wrong. It was like I gotta go through too many hoops to get my stuff repaired and that's not what I'm paying for. I didn't like that. I got a second opinion for my AC, which is what prompted me to replace it because that guy found two more things. American Home Shield was still saying they will repair it instead of replacing it. The repair was going to be temporary in both instances. The plumbers told me that they revealed that to American Home Shield and that it was going to be temporary. But that was gonna cost me more money. This is not how I would treat myself. I wouldn't do that.

    The whole point of getting American Home Shield is to take care of the things that I have and not to try to get over anybody, but to take care of what I have, and to maintain it. If I'm gonna just have a handyman, I could have a husband or a boyfriend put a duct tape on it just to hold it over for a little while. I'm not satisfied at all. It's been horrible.

    I had water on the floor in the basement by the furnace that was leaking all over the floor. I called American Home Shield thinking something was wrong with the furnace. The tech came out the same day I put in the claim. The issue ended up being the humidifier for the house. When the tech took it all off, it was clogged up, so the water was going all over the floor. He cleaned it out and put a new PCP piping there and a new filter for that unit that attaches to the furnace and it fixed it. I've always had good luck with American Home Shield. When I've had water heaters go out, I haven't had to pay large amounts of money out. I just paid my $75 service fee. I have the top plan that American Home Shield offers. So anything I've had have all been repaired on a timely basis.

    The refrigerator stopped working so we called American Home Shield but it took longer to get the parts than I think it should have. The refrigerator was down for a month and we had to buy another refrigerator to satisfy our needs in the interim while we were waiting for the repairs. Also, the first set of technicians was incompetent or misrepresented themselves. The guy showed up in a car and he didn't have any equipment with him. He just noted that the refrigerator didn't work and ordered a part. The part came in but it wasn't the right part. I called them back and they sent another guy out who said the previous guy didn't know what he was doing. He ordered four parts and then came back and fixed the refrigerator.

    I'm not very handy. So, I like the fact that everything in the house is taken care of if the need arises. I had a claim for something with the faucet and everything went smoothly. But they're just having trouble getting people to fix things. The people who they send out, they range. Sometimes you get really good people and sometimes you get really, really ** people.

    I've been having excellent service with American Home Shield. I upgraded my warranty so it has more coverage. I like that. I used to call but couldn't understand the reps' English, and they couldn't understand me. But things have improved. I've had some crappy service and the vendors didn't feel like they were going to be paid enough, so they were in and out very quickly. But now, the service is so much better. They try to fix it correctly the first time so they don't have to come back. They're knowledgeable and professional. My most recent claim was an electrical issue. The electrician enjoyed his job and educating people about electricity. I was very pleased.

    I had an air conditioner repair this past summer and the vendor that American Home Shield selected made me pay 4% extra for using a credit card. The first company that they sent out told me they were gonna charge me 2%. I had someone else come out to give me a second opinion because I didn't trust the first company but the second company wanted to charge me 4%. They knew people were desperate because it was hot this past summer. I was telling one of the vendors that I was gonna have to cancel and they told me out of all the home warranty companies they work with, American Home Shield is the best. When they said that, I stuck with American Home Shield.

    It's very easy to make a claim. Generally, I do it online. But on the phone, it has always been easy too. The 19th of December, I made a claim for the two outlets in the living room. They weren't working. And American Home Shield said the contractor would contact us within 48 hours. That’s the way it has always happened. But I hadn't heard from them so I called. And they said that they were out of the office until December 17th, which it was after December 17th. So, I left a message for them to contact me, and I never heard from them. Christmas Eve, I happened to check my email. And there was a message from AHS saying that my appointment had been confirmed for today, between 4:00 and 6:00.

    We have our Christmas tree up still, because we're not exchanging gifts till New Year's Eve. And there's a bunch of presents around there and I've got my furniture all messed up in the living room. I figured I was scheduled until after the holiday. I was inconvenienced. It wasn't that much of an inconvenience during the holiday. And I figured businesses would be closed.

    I tried to call the contractor. It's after the 17th. They must have meant the 27th. So, I tried calling them again, the 27th. They were not answering so I left a message. And I thought, “I'll leave a text.” Nothing. Yesterday, I was nervous, all day thinking, I don't want them coming out and charging me. So, I tried to call AHS, which they had a long wait time. Said they could call me back. Yesterday evening about 5:30, I thought, “I'll call. Maybe it won't be as busy.” I was able to talk to a representative and I told him the situation. He tried to get ahold of them. Apparently, they're closed already. So, he said he left a message for them and he also sent them an email. I've not heard from the company today. I don't want them coming out and just taking my $100. AHS has always called and told me what they have available, which would work for me. So, I'm flabbergasted by this, but it's nothing on AHS. It’s the company.

    The plumbing claim worked out fantastic. The contractor was prompt in making the appointments come out. The technician was pleasant and professional. And he discovered the problem right away. He said, “This is the second one I've had for the same problem.” It was just the water valve. It was turned off underneath the sink. Why would you think it would be turned off under the sink, right? None of us did. But apparently, somebody did. It was an issue that we could have taken care of, but we were not as smart as he was. So, it worked out perfectly. He was very friendly. He corrected me but not in a rude manner. And he was very polite.

A tech had to come in and change the tub spout. I was very happy. Having the warranty is definitely a plus and I've already mentioned it to a couple of friends who recently bought homes, that it's definitely something they should look into. This is my first home and, coming from living in apartments, I'm so used to just calling maintenance, and not having to worry about it. It's a little different, more stressful when it's on me.

    When we had a thermostat issue, there was some misunderstanding of how to set up the appointment. But once we navigated through them and got ahold of the AC people, they were able to make an appointment right away and get them out really fast. But the technician wasn't very bright. It's a smart thermostat. We had told him he needed to read the directions. He erased everything on our cellphone. The second time, he came out again. It didn't go so well 'cause he turned our heat on and our house was 94 degrees. He had to come the third time.

    The policy expired so we were trying to get it renewed. The guys we dealt with that were receiving payment didn't know how to renew. They were saying they couldn't grab the payment money off our account. The credit card expired. The bank issued us a new credit card and American Home Shield just needed to change the date on it, but they wouldn't change any of that. The worst part about that experience was we called within enough time for them to go ahead and regenerate it. But they couldn't. We would have to wait 30 days for them to regenerate. They said they were sorry but there was nothing they could do. When we called back, the other guy said, "They could have done this and you would never have lost your eligibility or your longevity with the company." Thank God, nothing happened in that one month that we had to go through that process again.

    Other than that, we've had nothing but great service that's why we keep on going back. The service American Home Shield provides is valuable. They were able to customize the policy for us. The first policy we had was at a townhouse and they customized it with a townhouse. Then we bought a single family home, and they customized it with that single family home. With this new home, it's a new construction, and they were able to customize it to fit the new construction.

    I recently had two claims with American Home Shield. One was a buzzing sound I kept hearing coming from my electrical panel box and the other one was my HVAC system that was not heating like it was supposed to. What led to the buzzing sound and my heating system not working ended up being one thing. It was a capacitor in the heat pump that was bad. It wasn't an electrical problem. It ended up being an HVAC problem so I canceled the call for the electrical issue 'cause the HVAC claim fixed the problem.

    The repairman that came out was great. He showed me some things I could do to keep my HVAC running good and save energy. But the problem had persisted. I came back a couple of days after Thanksgiving and put in a request. That was when I told him a friend of mine is an electrician and he looked at it. He told me, "You might have something going on in your box. I don’t want to mess with it because you got warranty claim. It sounds like it could be a short. You need to get it looked at real quick because shorts cause fires.” I called American Home Shield and they had somebody come out expeditiously.

    I had to use American Home Shield very seriously last year because my refrigerator went out. They sent a guy out and he told me that it wasn't cooling. I got a French refrigerator which was icing up everything in the bottom, but at the top, it was hot. I told the young lady I needed something done because my wife is diabetic and she has to have her medicine cooled. She said, “We need to get you a unit today or either tomorrow." The next day, I had a brand new unit.

    The heat and air conditioning were not working. I could here the thermostat would click on but nothing would ever blow. The tech looked at the blower system and the issue was a burned out fuse and relay. The parts are probably fairly common parts that go out, and they had them on the truck. So he was able to repair it that same day. When you have a big repair, AHS is convenient 'cause it's cost-efficient. But if you don't wound up having a breakdown for a while, then it is a little more on the pricey side.

    With our old refrigerator, they repaired it too much. We kept having to call for claims, and they just kept repairing instead of finally saying,“enough is enough”. Other than that, the techs have always shown up, done their work and they've been courteous.

    The service tech who came for the garbage disposal that was making extensive noise was excellent. Though I knew the problem, he re-diagnosed it, realized he had to replace the part and replaced the part right away. On my other interactions with American Home Shield, someone comes out, looks at the problem, and doesn't always have parts on hand. They order the parts and come back for the install. That delays those repairs.

    The first time somebody came out to look at a microwave, he said, “For me to make the repair, the microwave needs removed from the wall. You have to find a contractor for them to remove the microwave. I don't remove microwaves from the wall.” I wound up doing it myself and that was during a period that I had a severe back injury. I was disappointed that their service tech who was bigger than me didn’t wanna touch the microwave and get it off the wall.

    There was another interaction where my dryer was going on the fritz. The service tech tried telling me that the vent pipe was clogged. I cleaned it out. They came back and asked, “Where's the receipt of the person who cleaned it out?” I said, "There’s no receipt. I bought the tools. I got on the roof. I cleaned it out myself. It's clear. I dropped a golf ball, and it went through.” He said he needed a receipt before I went any further. I called American Home Shield. They reassigned somebody else.

We reported the issue in November of 2021 and it did not end up getting resolved until seven months later. Every time I would schedule it with the contractors and everything would be good, they would never get to show up because then they would tell us that American Home Shield called and said it's not covered. The only reason that they got going with it was because I threatened to file arbitration.

    My money goes out every month and I was beginning to wonder, "God, am I throwing money away?" Then, I had an issue with my water heater. I called AHS and normally, I absolutely hate automated systems, but theirs was the best automated system that I've ever encountered. It immediately recognized my number, pulled up my policy, and validated the coverage once I indicated what the problem was. The system then said the deductible is gonna be X amount, and, "This is the card we have on file. Would you like us to charge that?" I said, "Yeah", and the system said, "Would you like us to schedule so-and-so plumber to come out and handle the repair?" And I said, "Yes, I would." The system was accurate, efficient and it made everything easy.

    They gave me the contact information and I followed up with the plumber and let them know that I have no hot water and confirmed how quickly they'd be able to come out. They came the next day and did great work. But the water pressure was very low in my kitchen sink, which is the one that we released all the pressure out of. The plumber came back and flushed everything out so that it improved. Everything was great and I was very pleased. I'm happy to recommend AHS. They have the clout of their relationship to get contractors to be responsive.

    First you should know that American Home Shield only has one or maybe 2 service providers in a city. Those providers will have a backlog of business. So, when you need a repair or service forget about it. My most recent experience. My furnace went out 12/6/22. We were without heat for a day and half. My furnace went out again today - Thursday 12/23/2022. Same issue. The service provider is booked until 12/26 - they don't work weekends. So are we supposed to be out of heat for 4 days? The temp here has been below 10 deg F and into negative at night. What kind of service is this? I will end up paying out of pocket for a reliable service provider to come and fix my furnace TODAY.

    Nov 2022 We called in for furnace fixing and they assigned May Heating and Cooling who totally don't care about their business. I took off work to be home waiting on them and they rescheduled last minute with a text. I took off another day for their rescheduled day, they came, diagnosed the furnace issue and promised to send the invoice/quote with details to American Home Shield (AHS) which apparently never happened. We were sitting in freezing cold house for 2 weeks when I called AHS and they said they didn't receive a detailed enough invoice to determine what parts are needed so it's just been sitting there no one following up or anything on it. They tried to call May Heating and Cooling who never answer nor return calls as usual. AHS said they'll follow up with May Heating and Cooling but 2 week later still nothing, invoice still just sitting with AHS.

    The furnace simply needs 2 small little parts, AHS and their contractor would rather leave us sitting in blistering cold house for a month rather than following up on each other. Today 12/23 it's over a month since the back and forth about this furnace. I decided we're cancelling AHS service. Their retention dept tried to offer free 2 installments, no resolution on the poor service regarding the furnace. This company AHS service is super poor, if you do not call them to push, nothing happens, even if you push them they blame on their technicians. We were paying $70 per month, we cancelled. We could have gotten a private technician fix this a long while ago.

    I have had nothing but issues dealing with AHS. I have had two rental homes I owned, and my personal home. All had contracts. The phone staff is nice. However the company is inept. They send you contractors that can't do the work for DAYS. I mean important stuff like HOT WATER heaters. Finally, when they dropped the ball ( AGAIN!) I hired my own. Which came out the SAME day. Charged me. I asked AHS to reimburse me. Haha. DECLINED! I rarely use them, and finally I need them and I got NOTHING! YOU will be sorry, if you use them. May as well take that $ and throw it away.

    My built-in microwave oven wasn't heating up food so I made a claim with American Home Shield. They reached out very quickly and I received emails letting me know that there was a claim. There was a lot of communication. Customer service was very satisfactory. A week after, a maintenance guy came out. When I need American Home Shield, they are on the line and they're sending someone through. I had someone that took such a long time and I called American Home Shield and they scheduled someone else to come out. That was a positive. The only complaint I have is every year the price goes up. I'm now paying double what I started with.

    We had the annual check maintenance for the AC unit and also had an appliance repair, and American Home Shield did wonderful on that. I like how quickly they handle calls, how good they are to do the diagnostic and follow through. So, I'm very happy with their service. I would highly recommend them. It’s great to have. I've had them for the last two years now and had no issues and don't see any reason why I would not continue our business.

    I did a service call for clogged plumbing in my home. The contractor got it taken care of within about 10 minutes of their arrival. They were very courteous, and professional. I was very pleased. When I had a washer go out, I was told that they no longer make the parts needed in order to fix my washer dryer set. My favorite washer dryer set looks great, but it's in my garage stacked up because apparently it couldn't be repaired. I wasn't very happy with that. But I have to take the folks' word for it when they said that the parts were unavailable as far as the smartboard necessary in order to get my Samsung washer repaired.

    American Home Shield did everything necessary. They were very responsive. They booked timely and got an outfit out here and paid my deductible. I'm very pleased with American Home Shield. I just wish I could get a technician to come out here and fix my high-end washer dryer set. This is my third house with American Home Shield, and I'm very pleased. They really make the home buying process a lot less stressful knowing that the major systems will be repaired if anything doesn't hold up beyond sales.

    Communication with American Home Shield was great. There were no excessive hold times and the website’s user-friendly. I've been pretty happy. The technicians were great too. We had one that they used that misdiagnosed something. American Home Shield was very quick to get somebody else back out there. Right now, we have a claim in process. It's for the water dispenser on my refrigerator that is not working.

    I've been calling for about eight months to have my problem fixed and I keep telling American Home Shield that the person they keep sending doesn't do the work. He just charges. AHS pays him but they don't verify the work is done. They have sent him twice. He came twice. I got a third person and they said the work was not done. My roof is still leaking and damaged, and I have to fix the ceiling in my living room out of my pocket. I called AHS back. They sent me somebody else. I called them. They gave me a date to come. It was 11 o'clock on a Monday. I called them at 10 o'clock and said, "Is somebody going to be here at 11:00? Do you need me to be home? Would you call me before you come?" "No. We will be there 11:00." I waited in my house until 12 o’clock. No one showed up. I called them. They said, "We are busy. If you really need that bad, find somebody else." Then they hung up.

    I called AHS back to let them know what they said. AHS said, "Oh, somebody's gonna call you back in 24 hours." That was on Tuesday. No one has called me back yet. It's been going on for nine months. The technicians are very nice. It's just AHS won't listen to their client. If a technician says, "I did the job," it does not necessarily mean they did the job. The guy from the first time was like, "Oh, you need to change your roof." "I just changed my roof 10 years ago, sir." My roof cannot be 40 years old and still be in that shape. He just wants to change a new roof for AHS to pay for it. I was like, "No. I'm not gonna say yes to that." I keep telling AHS that. They said, "No. You have to listen to him." It would be good if they can at least check what it is they've done or what the technicians are telling them.

    Knowing if I've got a repair that needs to be done, I can call American Home Shield and they will get it addressed quickly. They have saved us some money on some other repairs that we've had to do over the years. Recently, we had to have some electrical switches fixed in my house. The guy that came out was very helpful, made some good suggestions, and did the work quickly.

    The people that I've talked to at American Home Shield have been really, really good. They're good about notifying me of who's coming and when they're coming. But with my washer claim, it took them four times to come through before they finally figured out that this was not something they were gonna be able to fix. The part didn't exist anymore and they were just gonna have to replace it.
