    The service of AHS has been pretty good. Everything I've needed, they were able to help us out with. Our recent claim went well. Everything was fixed. It was all covered under the cost of the initial service fee. Expectations were met. Also, they're pleasant to work with, easy to explain the situations to and very understanding in trying to help me out. Things are also online now. You can track the service tickets easier and see the information for who you're working with, whereas in the past, it was handed off and then you just didn't know until somebody showed up.

    I wasn't too happy about American Home Shield. The guy put me on the spot, making me think if I didn’t go ahead and get it, that the price was gonna go up. I went ahead and pressed him on it a bit, and he said it wouldn’t start until the following month, which is when the first payment would come out. I went ahead and did it, then I turned right around, made another phone call and found out his price was drastically higher than the next person I called. That person told me that even if I didn't use them, I did not need to use these people because they were way too high.

    A few days later, I had a health issue, and I thought I was gonna be out of work. I was out of work for six weeks and I couldn't afford the policy so I called them to cancel it. The billing goes through somebody else and they gave me the phone number to call and cancel. When I called, I got the automated service and never got to talk to a real person. It said that they will get back to me within 24 hours. They called me three days later, which just happened to be on the day that the policy was going to start. When I told them I called to cancel this, they said, “Well, you still have to pay the 200 and something dollars.” I said, “For what?”

    I bought the policy back in February, but they wouldn't invoice me for 30 days. I understand it's not becoming effective for 30 days, but normally, when you go to close on a house, you buy the policy and you get refunded for it by the seller. It was a little unconventional. The communication has been really poor. I haven't received anything kind of formal in writing other than some more advertising type emails. I'm not too satisfied thus far.

    American Home Shield has good coverage, but depending on what state you're in, they either have great contractors or they have contractors that you have to be very wary of and make sure they don't take advantage of you. I had American Home Shield cover my house in Hawaii and then I cancelled it. But they are covering my house in Nevada and my house in Ohio. I actually had two houses in Ohio but I sold one. In the house that I sold, the toilet was leaking and the leak was coming through the floor. So the plumber came out, looked at the job, and said he had to do a seal but he didn't have the tools. He had to go get the tools. Then he charged American Home Shield as if he got paid and the job was done.

    American Home Shield called the plumber with me on the other line, and I told him, “You came out and said you didn't have the right tool. And then you went ahead and billed them said the job was finished.” At first, he said, “Oh.” Then he came and nobody was home. We had him on the Ring doorbell but then he said he didn't remember. He had so many customers that he didn't remember who he finished. I told him, “You charged American Home Shield not knowing who you charge and what you did for them? Because you never came back and finished the job.”

    Currently, I have American Home Shield in a second Indiana home, and I sent a claim for my upstairs shower. The plumbing agency they hired came out and said they needed approval because they gotta take off the plastic wall. I called American Home Shield and said, “Hey it's been like a month and I haven't heard back.” They told me, “Oh, he needed approval and according to our records, the approval was sent.” So on my behalf, American Home Shield again called. We cannot use our shower since March and we're a family of six and an infant using one little bathroom downstairs. It is now June and the plumber has been notified three times already.

    When I had a claim for my dishwasher, the guy said they couldn't take off the top because somehow, they planned on fixing the dishwasher when they should have just taken it out and put a whole new one in there. Now, we've got to take out our countertop and we have all these parts. It’s almost like they’re rebuilding this whole dishwasher and it’s causing us grief.

    When American Home Shield did do my water heater, the person that came out was really good. They got the water heater changed but they were going to charge me a removal fee to take out the old one so they just left it and I had my husband take it out. I recently used American Home Shield in Las Vegas when my AC went out. Their technician called me the next day. It was a Saturday. I missed his call and he already left the office. The next day, I got ahold of him and right away, he had an appointment that next Monday, which was the next day. Then he came out, did what he had to do, and the AC was working. So far, when I used American Home Shield for the AC in Las Vegas, they were wonderful and quick. It was great service.

    I've used American Home Shield twice this year. I was very pleased with Sunbelt Electric. With the other guy that came out prior for my refrigerator, we really couldn't target what the problem was because it was intermittent. I did eventually have to replace the refrigerato because I wasn't gonna have this intermittent stuff going on, but that had nothing to do with them because he did all the tests that he needed to do. Because it was so intermittent with the temperature inside the freezer and refrigerator, it was kind of hard to pinpoint the problem.

    American Home Shield did replace the fan that was in my dining room area. They couldn't repair it, and they actually replaced it with something better than what was in there. So, I'm happy with that. I do like the fact that you can get ahold of them but the thing I don't like about it is, everything is automated. When you call, everything's automated. It's almost like you cannot get a human being to talk to. I want to be able to talk to somebody, and there's so much automation that deals with it. I kept pushing this one button about my fan, and it kept asking me about my ceiling. I was like, “No, it’s not my ceiling. It’s my ceiling fan.” I don't want to do this automation stuff. I want to be able to have a button that says, "After it does all the automation, if you still haven't gotten your answers, push zero to get a human being."

    I do like the fact that AHS does give you the name of the company and their phone number. That way, you can contact that company if you haven't heard from them within a 24-hour period or if you want to contact them prior to 24 hours. Unfortunately, I made a call on a Saturday. Sunbelt Electric wasn't open. I understand that. So, I had to wait till Monday. I called them first thing when they opened up, and I was able to get an appointment.

    The service with American Home Shield is a little hit or miss. The agents on the phone that we deal with don't necessarily seem to be very capable of accommodating things when we're asking for it. On most of our most recent calls, we asked for particular things. Our air conditioner needed repair recently and they were very difficult in trying to accommodate getting someone out in a timely fashion. We were told three times that someone would be out that evening. They've provided some inaccurate information, which caused us to have to endure things a little longer than we would want it to have. Their customer service seemed very confused and they tell you one thing but it has never actually what has happened. They need to improve on it. Their ability to understand us seems a bit difficult.

    I made one claim, but AHS was able to establish that it wasn't working from the time that we bought the house, and that's kind of fair to me. However, if an appliance needs to be replaced, there could be an option of paying out of pocket to go above a builder grade replacement. When I had the hot water heater go out at my old residence, it was approved for a 40-gallon builder's grade model. I worked it out with the installer and told him I'd pay out $400 out of pocket to get a nicer one. He came back and he apparently wasn't supposed to do that at all.

    We had a claim to American Home Shield where PHD came out, and it went well. They were able to resolve the problem. At first, it seemed like it wasn't going to be fixed, but they figured it out. It seems to be resolved now. The downstairs toilet wasn’t flushing right and there was a really bad smell. It turned out that the main line was full of stuff and it had to get snaked and cleared out.

    I called AHS and told them my toilet was acting weird, and we talked about it. I got a text from them saying the name of the company that was coming out. Then the company itself texted me before they showed up with the name of the person that would be showing up. The company was great. For a while, I wasn't sure if having AHS was worth it because I didn't have any reason to use it and I was paying $60 a month and that's like $720 a year. With this particular experience that I had, it seems like it's a good service to have. For now, I'm gonna keep it.

    American Home Shield provided a good service and the technician that came out was very helpful and professional. He also gave me some options for a maintenance program with their company to come out and clean everything out once a year. American Home Shield will not cover certain items if they're not maintained and I needed to have them maintained anyway, so I'm going to get with them and get them to come out and do a yearly service.

    So far, I've used American Home Shield to have all my locks rekeyed when I moved in, which was a benefit. It was cheaper than me just hiring a locksmith. I had a refrigerator fixed and the person AHS sent out also provided good service. I'm real happy with having American Home Shield. I haven't read the policy, because I'm so busy, about what was covered or what's not covered, but so far, everything has been very satisfactory.

    Last year, it was difficult to submit a claim, but with the two claims that I filed this year, it's been really easy. Our circuit breaker continued to trip, and I called American Home Shield. The repair people came out and could not find anything wrong, but when the last guy came, he said he knew exactly what the problem was. My husband said that he was thorough, neat, knowledgeable, and professional, and he replaced the circuit breaker. It was something that should have been done all the times that I called.

    American Home Shield does a job in a timely manner. They have professional staff so far. I have been pleased with their service for the most part. A contractor came out to repair my dryer and did a great job. The tech did a good job. He replaced the part. But the same thing is happening, so I called and put in a new work order and they said that they'll send someone back to look at it and repair it if they can. He called me this morning and said he would be out between 9:00 and 1:00.

    The dryer was working, but making a loud noise and it smelled like when something has too much friction, it gets that smell. If you ever put plasticware in a dishwasher and one of the pieces fell in and it touches the element, that kind of smell. So, I unplugged it and I called. The contractor came out and the gentleman fixed it. So far, so good. It's working.

    I kind of feel like American Home Shield does band-aids and does not really fix some of the problems that I have. I had a really significant leak under my sink in my bathroom and a crew from Pond Brothers came out and stopped the leak. But there was the hot water heater that they put right on top of the saggy cabinet and it's sinking down. The mold is going up behind it and I can't reach it. I called American Home Shield and said, "Do you cover this?" They said, "No, we did not." The leak has stopped, but I have to replace all the cabinets. So, I'm not happy about that.

    Ironically, a week later, I had an issue with my toilet and a different crew from Pond Brothers came out and they were very efficient and solved the problem. Everything's great. The other situation was just very frustrating. Overall, American Home Shield's service is good. The product is just not so great. There was a time when there was also ductwork up there that was old and falling down and American Home Shield wouldn't cover any of it. When I needed a faucet, they didn't even ask me what faucet I wanted. They just went out to Lowe's and got one and slapped one on there.

    American Home Shield doesn't do the work that's supposed to be covered. I'm completely dissatisfied with them. I told them I had a leak in my sink and my faucet. Also, my tub is clogged and I have a leak coming from the toilet dripping into my kitchen. They sent someone and the guy said he can't touch the tub until the leak in the toilet is fixed. He never even went up to the bathroom and he was very unprofessional. I said, “Have someone flush the toilet so you can see.” He's like, “No, we're not gonna make it worse.” I said, “`I have a home. There are seven of us here and the toilet isn’t going to flash. So while you're here, I could show you.” And he was like, “No, there’s no need."

    A second person came and that contractor said they didn't have the claim saying that there was a stoppage in the tub. I called AHS while the tech was there and they said, “Yes, we do have that on the claim.” And the guy said, “No, we don't, so I cannot touch it because it's not on there.” Everything's still happening and I'm paying a premium of $100 for these people to come out and nothing's happening.

    I've had the worst possible experience with any company I've ever used. I called April 26th which was 31 days after the policy was taken out. I told American Home Shield what was wrong and they sent a technician. He came, spent 10 minutes and said the dishwasher needed a new motor and the whole thing was fried. He also said it would be 7 to 10 days on the part, which I wasn't happy about. He called me back about two days later and said he needed to come back out and re-diagnose the problem. He hadn't even ordered the part and he already told me 7 to 10 days. He came back out, spent an hour diagnosing it and came up with the same diagnosis. He said the part was back ordered and did not know when it would be in. I said, "I want a new dishwasher. I'm not gonna wait indefinitely for a part to come in when you can't even give me any information." He walked out the door and said, "This is between you and American Home Shield."

    American Home Shield said they could not find a new technician to take over. I told them, "If you cannot give me a dishwasher, I want my money back on this policy so I can go buy my own dishwasher." The policy was about $750 and they told me that they would keep $220 and refund the rest. I said, "I'm not giving you $220 for 31 days of service and you can't fulfill your obligation. That's not right." They told me that was the only way - I would either lose $220 straight off the top or I could wait it out. I waited it out.

    They kept asking for 48-hour extensions at a time. I gave them two of those to find me a company to come service it. I live in Jonesboro, Arkansas. It's got 100,000 people. The only reason I took the policy in was because they said I would not have any trouble finding technicians to service me if I had a claim. They had to have the first company come out of Paragould, which is a good 30 minutes away. He came twice. They had a second company come in who, again, also ended up coming two times before the problem was completely diagnosed. Five times, they came to my house but I did not get a gift card to replace the dishwasher until last night.

    American Home Shield did not, in any way, take care of me. It was 40 days plus with no dishwasher because they wouldn't honor their agreement. They couldn't fix it. They couldn't get me a part. They should have immediately issued me a gift card. To top it all, the way their email comes out, it gives you two choices. You can choose to either do some kind of cash out or a gift card. But they won't tell you what it's worth until you click into "Yes, I accept the gift card." Once I did that, I was committed to the gift card, which was only for $714. My dishwasher is three rows, stainless on the inside, stainless on the outside. That's supposed to cover installation, haul away, and a new dishwasher. That ain't gonna cover all that. They cheated me and told me I selected that.

    I wish American Home Shield’s service was a little bit less expensive. I would love to see that there could be some type of reward back to a client if they go like a year without any service needs. I haven't had to use it a whole lot but it's nice to know that it's there when I do need it. I love that I can do things and schedule online. It’s been good. I recently had an appliance worked on and it went great. It's always nice when they're able to come out, diagnose a problem, and fix it before they leave. When I heard it was Sears, I wasn't too happy about it because I've had a home warranty through Sears in the past and it was a horrible service, but they came in under A&E. The tech presented himself as Sears and then he quickly said, “Oh, I'm with A&E." He was very good, very professional and seemed to know exactly what he was doing.

    We like American Home Shield's service. We had the highest level of service. The only thing that we have to pay is the $75 service fee. The only hiccup that we had was when we were first arranging a visit from a plumber. Somehow the wires got crossed. At that time, we were only at the house on weekends. For some reason, our appointment was rescheduled without our knowledge to a day that we weren't going to be there, but a couple of calls resolved that. The contractor that came out was absolutely great. We found out we're going to need a new water heater soon. There was a problem with the thermocouple unit firing for the pilot. It wouldn't turn over, and he did a couple of things and it turned over and it hasn't turned off since. So, that's a beautiful thing. Our experience has been good so far.

My air conditioner wasn't working and I was having this problem since last year. I tried a personal contractor even before I got in touch with American Home Shield.

They verified everything but couldn't find the fault at that time. We ambled along for six months, not sure what was happening.

    At that point of time, I gave a poor feedback to Union Express. They were upset but I told them that feedback was not on their service, but in terms of the issue resolution for me. My thermostat wouldn’t change. Even if I put it at 75, it still kept running at 84. But they couldn’t check the outside unit because it was not running on cool as it was winter and the temperatures were not too up. This time around, as the problem continued into the summer, I reached out to American Home Shield who contacted Union Express. They came out again. With the temperatures up, they were able to identify that the AC condenser fan was gone. They were able to replace it and get everything back up and running.

    We were stuck in a hot house for over a week, and there was no sense of urgency by American Home Shield, trying to find a different company that could service us sooner. So it was a nightmare. There was a power outage in the community and the AC wasn't turning on at all. When the guy came, he had the part. But we waited for a little over a week for the guy to come out. This happened on a Friday and he didn’t come out till the following Friday. I called American Home Shield and asked, “Is there a different company you guys can use? Do you have availability?” But they said, “No, we already have it booked with them. That’s all we can do. You have to wait on them.” It didn’t sound right because they work with multiple companies. We had a similar issue with the AC two years ago, but it was resolved a lot better and quicker.

    The benefit of having American Home Shield is the ease of knowing that you pay the monthly charge, but you don’t necessarily have to come out of pocket a huge amount. We had a refrigerator go out a couple of years ago, and that was taken care of also. That is the great part about it. But from the time we started till now, the service has gotten a little bit complacent. When we first started, the service was really, really good. But over the years, the consistency hasn’t been there. American Home Shield should have the representatives be able to communicate with the company instead of waiting several days before booking it.

    I've been happy with the people that American Home Shield has sent out to deal with some issues that I've had. The tech from Quality HVAC came out quick, and it was on a Saturday, to just take a look at what was going to need to be done. He was able to assess the problem and he put a temporary fix on it for now. He said that there was an issue that might reoccur. It has to do with a drain that's partially plugged with some algae with my air conditioning unit and it was something that probably was not covered under our insurance. It’d cost about $1,400 to get it fixed if it fails.

    I’ve had air conditioning unit issues in the past and one was a wiring problem that was easily fixed. The other was a frozen unit in our attic where this thing is, and the repair guy fixed that easy enough. And right now, we're cruising. We had another issue with plumbing where our hot water heater failed and the contractor came out and replaced it. It's been a little bit of a money pit here in the house. It’s an older house, so we anticipated that. But still, it’s tough. Being new to the area, it's hard to find people to do the things when things fail and it's nice to have the home warranty that have people assigned to do whatever issues come up. Plus, it's handy. The downside is having to pay the 75 bucks every time somebody comes out, and it might be just a little thing. But it's all good.

    It’s been horrible with American Home Shield. One of the AC units started having problems and they sent out US Air. This guy, Marvin, came several times. One time, he said it was this. One time, he said it was that. He put a new thermostat and a motherboard in. The last time, he said it needed a card up in the attic to that unit, which was the downstairs unit. He left here and never said a word to me about anything else. The next thing I know, I got a notice from American Home Shield saying it has been refused because he said it was a surge. I've lived here 13 years, and I've never had a surge.

    I called in to question that. Their people in the Philippines offered to send another firm out as a second opinion. They sent Quality Air out. Trey checked everything. He said, “I don’t feel it needs a new card. You did not have a surge. Had it been a surge, it would have caused other things to happen.” As he walked out, he said, “I want to get somebody, a higher technician than me, come check.” He left and I never heard from anybody. I waited, gave him two weeks, but I never could reach him. One day, I held on nearly an hour. I have, to this day, never been able to talk to anybody there.

    Every you call American Home Shield, you end up with somebody in the Philippines. It used to be, when I would call, I would talk to somebody in the United States. Now, it's never anybody. I have asked them repeatedly, “Please connect me to someone,” because I was having so much trouble understanding them. They would say they couldn't do that. I called about two weeks ago and talked to a man in the Philippines who understood. He tried to call Quality Air. It was 4:20. He said, “They don’t answer. They close at 4 o’clock.” But if you call them, they say, “We assign between 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning, 12:00 and 1:00 at noon, 5:00 and 6:00 in the evening.” Yesterday, again, I tried all day long but never got them. I couldn’t get anybody at US Air or at Quality Air.

    According to the people I would talk to, Quality Air apparently never responded to American Home Shield of what Trey told me about it was not a surge. In the meantime, I had a problem upstairs. American Home Shield gave it to Blue Sky. Blue Sky promptly notified me and was right on the ball. The guy came right on time, got it fixed and left. I started calling American Home Shield again about what happened to Quality Air. At that point, the lady in the Philippines got confused. I tried to explain to them, “Blue Sky is out of the picture. That was a different unit. They came and did their work. I did the grading that you asked for.” They keep bringing up that I have something open with Blue Sky.

    So far, the experience has been good. Initially, they were very pushy to ask me to buy it. But I went with my friend's recommendation and that was the reason I bought it. One good thing about the service is they keep on sending reminders to do a particular service. However, I went with the most expensive plan but the copay seems to be very high for this plan, so I might look for something cheaper next year.

    American Home Shield has sent out great people, and it's been timely. It's been a good experience. The contractor has been assigned almost immediately after I've done my online claim. The people that had been sent out have been very professional. They let me know that they were coming and then they did a good job when they were here. All in all, it's been good service. The tech that came out for the AC even made sure every part of the unit was really working well. So he went above and beyond. I would use American Home Shield over others. They're very efficient.

    I had two claims with AHS. One was my washing machine, and then my ice maker. The guy had me video record the refrigerator. He was good. But he had to come back because the icemaker still wasn’t working. He replaced the parts but it still wasn’t working. He had to order another part. I've been telling everybody about America Home Shield. It’s good to have. AHS is very helpful when we have emergencies like this, and people want money right up front and we don’t have it. I'm in my second year with AHS. The bill payment is what I’m having problems with. They went up on the bill. It was $61, now it’s 73. They were supposed to take it out on the 2nd, and they took it out on the 23rd, which was the old contract. My new contract started on June 2nd, but then they still didn’t take out any payment for June 2nd.

    Preferred Climate Heating came out to my AC unit pretty much this year and towards the end of last year before we shifted to heat. On days that were super hot to the upper 90s, my AC unit doesn't keep up. So, I called American Home Shield this time again. I called in a few months ago, but the temperature spiked up like 90 and it went back down to 70s. So, it wasn't really a huge deal. I canceled that service call at that point. Then, we had a stretch where it was in the high 90s. So, I called it in again and Preferred Climate came out. They ran diagnostics outside, did their thing, and then came back and told me that both of my HVAC systems were about two pounds low on Freon. Having dealt with this, I know that if Freon is low, then there's a problem someplace because Freon is escaping. They said, "No, your Freon is low and that should fix the problem." I paid that out of pocket and it was roughly $610 to top off the Freon on both units.

    On the day they came out, the outside temperature was down to about 74 or so. So, you couldn't really see the extent of what I've been dealing with when it's up in the higher 90s. When it's 95 outside, the best that I can get upstairs in the house is about 80 degrees or so. So, they topped it off. A few days later after they came out, the temperature spiked back up to 90. When that happened, I immediately tried to call them back directly to see if I can get a return call from them and they didn't call me back at all. That was when I called back to AHS to tell them what happened and they scheduled a second visit with them. I tried to call them but didn't get an answer. I got ahold of AHS and they scheduled it again. So finally, after that, I got ahold of them. That was last week and they set up an appointment for Saturday from 8:00 to 12:00 and they never showed until about 12:30-ish.

    I tried to call them a few times, but it went straight to voicemail and I got no answer. I called back AHS on Saturday, and they attempted to call them and were unable to get them on the phone either. I haven't heard anything back from them at all. So, earlier today, I went back on the app and tried to do another return service call. Again, I was assigned to Preferred Climate. So, I was attempting to work with them again on the second return call since they had been here once already and diagnosed it and thought it was Freon. I kind of feel like I got ripped off a little bit on that one. Now that I look at it again, I don't think they really ran diagnostics at all. Because I wasn't feeling well that day when they came, so they went out and did their thing on the outside unit and never came inside the house. They kind of got me on that one.

    One thing I don't like about AHS is that I have to deal with multiple contractors. With my AC unit, I've had folks come out a few times and every single time is a different company. I just wish that you could stick with one company so they're familiar and you don't have guys like Preferred Climate coming out and ripping you off. At this point, I feel like I got ripped off by these guys. They didn't fix my issue and I paid out 610 bucks when I probably didn't really need to.

    We had a dishwasher problem where the child lock turned on somehow. We have never used it. And we couldn't get it to turn off, so we couldn't run the dishwasher. We heard back from somebody the same day, and they came out the next day. The control panel had some kind of short in it, so they had to replace the control panel. We already looked up how to turn it off. It wasn't that simple. AHS has been great.

    I had a horrible experience with my home warranty as I was left four months with no air. I left them and went with American Home Shield. I saw some decent reviews about them and there were a couple of people at my job that had them. I used the home warranty when I got my refrigerator fixed last month. The issue was the freezer part was running water. A tech showed us when he was doing it. It just froze in the back and clogged it up. He fixed it for us, cleaned up the water, and told us not to keep stuff too close to the back. He was excellent.

    I also had an electrician come through American Home Shield because the light in the garage wouldn't work. It was the wiring and it wasn't just the light that didn't work. They were backwards actually. In about 10 minutes, the electrician fixed all that. My plan with American Home Shield went up to $25 and I expected that. Other than that, I had no problem as far as going online, calling, or getting a service.

    I did the report for our water heater on the app and then the tech contacted me that evening, saying he would come out and look at it Monday. He came out and looked at it. He told me that there was a plumbing permit that needed to be done and it was part of the contract. He said American Home Shield would let me know that it was out of pocket. It was outside the $100 deposit that I had to give American Home Shield. So I got that ready.

    The tech made the appointment on Sunday and then he came back to the house on Tuesday morning. He had it done in less than two hours. I gave him the plumbing permit money and it was done. Then American Home Shield called me and told me, “Oh, by the way, there’s gonna be a plumbing permit, and it’s gonna be out of pocket.” I told them, “Well, he’s already got his money, and the project’s already been done. So, you’re a little late on informing me.” But the tech and his crew seemed very professional. They were quick and cleaned up after themselves. Everything seems to be working fine.

    I've had American Home Shield for 23 years in this house. When we first got here, the air conditioning units were old. They kept replacing them and kept sending people that didn't seem to know what they were doing. So I independently bought a Trane, which is much nicer than what they were replacing. That's the one that we've been having trouble with. It has been out now almost three and a half weeks.

    When you call American Home Shield, you get put on hold all the time, and nowadays, you get somebody in the Philippines. The rep had a lot of trouble understanding what I was talking about. We had this thing about the $75 tune-up on your machine and you could pay for two machines. I called and told her, “I have two machines I'd like to have the check-up on.” She said, “No. If you're going to have two machines, is it a service call?” I replied yes and she said, “You'd be charged another $75 if there was something wrong with it.” She insisted that I make the claim about two air conditioning units. I wanted to do a tune-up because I thought maybe it needed more freon. I would have to pay for the extra freon and that would be great. But no. She didn't think that I should get what I was asking her for. She thought I should get this other thing instead. She told me she was writing it up as there were problems with two machines.

    In the past, that same air conditioning unit twice had certain things burn out on it. American Home Shield had somebody who was about 10 minutes away from my house. But this one was from West Point, Virginia, which is way far away from where I live, West Richmond. People that don't know the state have no idea. Two men came and were not here very long. One of them said that he had checked and I should turn it off completely. I shouldn't try to run the fan part because it was creating in a vacuum when it was on air conditioning. If it was on heat, it would blow hot air through. It had been off 24 hours when he came because I wanted him to see it. It was a Friday afternoon, and he said, “You're going to need a part and American Home Shield is going to have to approve it. There's nothing more I can do.”

    It was it was a week ago, Friday. I called American Home Shield on Saturday to make sure he had sent in the claim. I got another lady from the Philippines. I asked, “Do you have the claim for me?” She replied yes and wanted to talk to me about it. She was gonna send it to the adjuster. I asked when would the adjuster get it. She said in 24 to 48 business hours. On Tuesday, I called K&J, and they said they hadn't gotten my claim from the adjuster yet. They checked and it had been approved. She said, “I will order a part after you pay 1,200 dollars." She said American Home Shield only covers parts and labor and I had to pay for refrigerant which is $135 a pound but they're gonna cover $10 a pound. I was paying $125 for nine pounds which was very different from $2,400. She said I had to pay for the modification.

    I paid her on the spot with a debit card. I asked, “Would you send me an email or a text to tell me that you have ordered the part and it’s available?” She said, “It's a Trane so we have to use Trane parts. It's either going to be from Richmond or from Texas.” Richmond is a 15-minute drive from me. Texas is a little bit farther. I said, “I need to know if it's coming from Richmond or Texas. Can you give me an installation date?” She said, “No, because we don't know when the part is gonna come in.”

    In the meantime, we've been having 92, 93 degrees temperature. I am suffering from the heat just as much as the pets, and I have asthma and diabetes. I know they can work faster than this. When I had a dishwasher that wasn’t working, I got a plumber through American Home Shield. He pulled out my machine and said, “This dishwasher is so old. I can't get parts for it. I'm gonna tell them it has to be replaced.” He did and within a week, I had a new dishwasher installed. They gave me a choice of lots of dishwashers to choose from. I could pick what I wanted and either pay a little bit to cover the difference in the cost of a dishwasher nowadays or get a fancier one than I had. I got a nice three-level dishwasher.

They could've given a better explanation of what was going to get covered, especially with the garage door. Also, if I've had a bad experience with a service provider, I would like the opportunity not to get them again. For instance, I had a plumber that came out that was not very professional and asked for weird things to get his work done.

    The plumber got the work done, I sent him on his way then I had another issue with some more plumbing. When I submitted for a work order, AHS was gonna send him again.

    American Home Shield did good on the dryer. A guy came out and fixed it. But when they came out to replace the washing machine, I had trouble because it took too long and we couldn’t wash. I ended up having them to send me a check. I bought it myself and they put it in. I had let the warranty lapse at one point because there wasn't enough funds in my bank, and I didn't follow up. But when I called them back, their contractor was supposed to come out and fix the leak that I had in my faucet. They weren’t able to fix that. When I called them to have the contractor come back out, they said my warranty expired so I got to pay the $100 deductible. I told them that was not right ‘cause they never fixed it the first time.

    I’m not happy with American Home Shield at all. The service is terrible. I had a problem with my heater in the wintertime, and they sent five different people out. The first time, the repairman said we needed a special part. They couldn't do it. American Home Shield sent another person but that person didn't know what the first person did. They replaced the switch on my furnace in the attic because they said the switch was broken. Then the thing upstairs was shorting out. The heat would come on and cut off. It was 30 degrees in our house during that time. It didn't work.

    I had to call the home warranty and they sent another guy out. He didn't know the issue and I tried to explain to him. I told American Home Shield not to send that company again. Another company came out. The repairman looked at it and said the switch the second company put in was the wrong switch. They put in the original one which was good. But now, it doesn't work.

    We had to buy a heater for our house. We have a fake fireplace, but it wouldn't heat up the whole upstairs. Our kids couldn’t put the heaters in their room because it kept blowing the circuit breaker. We were freezing in January and February. When I asked them if they could send the same company out, they said yes but then they cancelled and never sent anybody out. If they have a company that's good, they could try to use that company for the same person. Finally, they did. But it was such a hassle. Now, it's hot, and only the AC works upstairs. I'm going to go back to Old Republic Home Warranty because I don’t like American Home Shield at all. When I spoke to a manager once, I got the runaround. They don't seem like they care about their customers.

    We had a washer that was not draining and True Vine Appliance Repair came out. They had to do a video call to analyze what was going on. They also did something for the range and the tech determined that I needed a new part. He ordered it and then scheduled an appointment four days later. Everything's working fine.

    The contractor fixed the problem with my air conditioning unit. But my problem were two things. Number one, the workers seemed very rushed from getting from one customer to the other. They used my hose and never put it back on the reel. They also left part of the panel for the air conditioning unit on the floor. They were not neat. It's a minor thing but they should be a little more professional when they do things. Number two, there was major problem with the AC unit. They found a second issue. Though the AC is working, they found an issue with the air handler inside it. They said that they'd have to consult American Home Shield to see if they would pay for the repair. They said that American Home Shield would pay for the part, which is some kind of valve. However, they had to replace the freon and the freon was $845. I said off the bat that was highway robbery.

    We had a dishwasher claim and that was handled better. That company operates a lot better and is a lot more professional. They’re based in Lakeland, Florida. The repairman came in and needed a part. He didn't have it on the truck so he said he had to order it. He ordered it then he came and fixed it. All of that was included in my $125 out of pocket so I thought that was well worth it. I was very happy with AHS with that service. However, for the air conditioning unit, it's the second time that this has happened. The other AC guy that came before to fix a problem was more concerned about selling me a new unit than fixing my air conditioning unit. These air conditioning guys seem like a bunch of scammers. American Home Shield could do a better job screening companies that come out.

    I felt American Home Shield was a better coverage. I had the contractor come out and do an AC tune-up, and based off of that, there was some repair that needed to be completed. It was a capacitor that needed to be replaced. In the past, American Home Shield has assigned a different company. But I have had nothing but bad experience with them, so I will not use them.

    The gentleman came out to evaluate the problem. I had missed a phone call from the tech letting me know that he would be on his way out. He detested to leave a voicemail, nothing like that. So, when I had an opportunity to look at my phone and be, "Oh, I have a missed call. I wonder who this is." Gave the contractor a call back and the gentleman said, "Well, I'm not in your area anymore. You should have answered your phone." The professional thing to do when you call a customer is leave a voicemail or call back. That was a bad taste in my mouth. When he did come out, it was, "Well, I don't know what to tell you. I can't diagnose something if it's not happening." He didn't want to do anything. It was a bad experience. I called the warranty and said, "I'm done with this contractor, you guys need to turn somebody else out. I don't ever want them in my home again."

    They sent out Crispy Air. They evaluated my unit. They went up to the attic to evaluate what was going on up there. This other provider didn't do any of that. He was just outside, "Look, there's nothing going on. I can't tell you if there's something wrong if there's nothing going on." Crispy Air has been the company that has come out since I let the warranty know that the previous one in my home. And anytime they have come out to do any service or repairs, I've never had any issues.

    Every time I need something done or checked out for the AC unit, I have to call AHS because their system automatically assigns that contractor that I don't want at the house. And when I call, they would say, "Okay, we assigned a contractor." "No, I don't want them. I want Crispy Air at the house, because I've had a good experience with them." And they have to change the contractor on their end, versus me just doing it online myself.

    American Home Shield, overall, is okay. But I just had an issue yesterday with my AC not working. And we spent a lot of back and forth. It's causing a lot of delay. I have the premium plan, and I pay thousands of dollars every six months, but I'm not getting the service I deserve or need. AHS has a strange process for me. Because, yesterday, I had called up one of their agents, and I told them that the vendor that they provided me has a date that is only available a week out. And I said, “Can you try to call someone else who has an earlier appointment?” He said he could not and he speaks with this particular vendor. And he couldn't connect to them yesterday on the phone, so he asked me to call up again in the morning today for AHS.

    I didn't understand why I had to call them again if the case was still open. But he said, “No, sir. You have to call us again. And then we can contact the vendor again.” So, I told him that the case is already opened. He can just speak with them. It just went back and forth. And he said, “That's all the process is.” But their process is too stringent. At least for the premium customers, they have to offer a higher level of support, because we pay a lot of money. And it's a question of kids getting a heatstroke, so it was very important. But I didn't see that sense of urgency or the extra service for the premium customers yesterday.

    The roofing company that we had, the vendor came out within 24 to 48 business hours, which was great. But the first time the vendors came, they couldn't diagnose the problem. And they left without informing us about anything. And there was no contact or follow-up from AHS to see if our issue was resolved or not. I called them again. And they sent a different agent. And the next time, it all worked out. AHS was great in that case because they took care of the entire roof and all of the expenses associated with it, which was paid. So, I expected the same service this time around.

    American Home Shield's service is working great. We've used it several times. We have had the air conditioner worked on. I got a new dishwasher and a new microwave. Everything's worked out well. They held up their part of the contract. I haven't had a lot of trouble. Recently, a tech from Foltz Electric came out and he worked well. He shouldn't really do everything I needed them to do because some of it was on a garage that wasn't attached to the house, and he said that that wasn't covered. There was like a light bulb thing that broke off in there, and he did take those out for me. So, that was nice. He was a very nice man.

    I did have trouble with my air conditioner. My air conditioner was a weird fix, and they had to come out a couple more times. They finally got it fixed but the last time they came out, my thermostat was still not working. So, the air conditioner guy said it was the plumbing that came down the line and goes out if that little line is filled up with water and hits like a little sensor. He said it was a problem with the line in my bathroom on the first floor of my house. He said, "You're gonna need a plumber to blow that line out. I've blown as far as I can do. So you got something else." He set it all up for me. He called American Home Shield and told them to send me a plumber. American Home Shield found the plumber. The plumber came out and fixed it. They went above and beyond. They were amazing, and the plumbing people were very nice as well. Everybody I've had out has been really great to work with.

    I lived in a very small town in the middle of West Texas. There weren't that many contractors. So, I don't know if I would recommend thee company to someone that was in a small town. As far as in a place that’s got more people, it seems like there are more contractors available that signed up to be providers. So, I have not had a problem. I did have to buy a microwave at Lowe's and pay for someone to put it in but it was during COVID, so everything was kind of weird. It wasn't easy to find people to come in to your house but it worked out fine. I got it replaced and put a new one in, and AHS sent me the money.

He was friendly and he knew what he was doing. He then went to his truck, came back in, and did something with a magnet of some sort and reset the icebox.

    He explained what he was doing and told me that the reason the food in the freezer was defrosting and he said that the reason the icebox was freezing was because the door wasn't sealing well. There’s a magnet at the door that has to touch itself. There was something that fell in there and it interfered with doing it, which was making the freezer try to keep the icebox going. That caused the cold air from the freezer to not freeze the food. It was a simple fix if you knew what you're doing, which was something I didn't know. He did everything he could and it was awesome.

    We had a clogged bathroom sink. I did a claim with Home Shield and it was through a person, which I regret. They're not English-speaking people so they're hard to understand. In my experience talking to people in other countries and living in other countries, you have to phrase things differently to get your point across. It was extremely painful to talk to those people.

    I had been calling Home Shield for a year and I document everything in my little notebooks. I called Home Shield seven times for a year and we never got any attention. They kept saying that no one in my area was qualified. They wanted me to find the person to come out, pay them then hope for a reimbursement. I refused to do that as I couldn't afford that. I had my son-in-law call and he did his man voice. Within no time at all, American Home Shield contacted Brick Street Plumbing. They were out very quickly and were very professional and knowledgeable. They were excellent all the way.

    I have another claim with American Home Shield right now for my kitchen sink. For some reason, we're having problems with our drain. The garbage disposal is attached to the kitchen sink. I was told that according to Article G-6 in my contract or A-2, they don't touch kitchen sinks. I asked if the garbage disposal was covered. They said it was. When I made the rep go back, I said, "Now, I want you to go through whatever paperwork you got there and I want you to find what article says that the garbage disposal is covered." This was a three or four-hour process. We went to the garbage disposal and the rep said something about the competency and part. I asked what competency meant and she couldn't tell me. That's the only thing that was covered. It's incompetent if it doesn't work.

    The rep was trying to give me the runaround and then said, "But the garbage disposal replacement is not covered." I've been playing tag with Brick Street Plumbing. I called Brick Street Plumbing and they said, "That doesn't make sense because we've replaced garbage disposals for Home Shield." The Home Shield people are liars and they're making stuff up. On the whole, I wouldn't recommend them to an enemy. I would love to find a home warranty company that doesn't have foreign speakers and can actually do what we pay them for. We paid over $700 for the year and now it's up to almost 1,000.

    When it comes to Pronto, I am very pleased with their service. We had an issue with our kitchen sink that needed repair. They came out about that repair. The diagnosis was on time. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law, who does not speak English, was in the house. They returned so they could communicate to know where was the issue. And when they returned, everything was done promptly.

    My last request was on Saturday morning. I did not like that agent. She seems not to know what she’s doing. Because I mentioned the garage door needs a repair, and she said my policy does not cover garage door. I said, “Yes, it does.” She said, “We don’t do assembly.” I don’t know where assembly would come from that because we're not building a house. So, I had to be patient to say, “It's the garage door opener.” And there’s nothing else in the garage door to be dealt with when it comes to repair. She was talking about assembly. I was not pleased with that observation.

    I said, “It's an emergency,” and she said it's not classified as one. Because what happened was, the garage was stuck halfway. And we were going to spend the night in our neighborhood. We see garage with cars and everything left open, and they did not want to classify that as an emergency. And she kept on reading back the script to me. I said, “If you could get someone from a different zip code to come over the weekend.” Because the agent which worked with us for the garage door was closed on Saturday. But she said there are others that may be open but they are not in my zip code. And because she already sent that request. And what was very disturbing was, she said, “I sent it, and I sent an email.” I said, “But they are closed. You just said they are closed on Saturday.” But that was my first time finding somebody who was just reading his script. That was just this Saturday. But apart from that incident, I usually get a good service.

    American Home Shield may have a new agent that probably needs more training. But I’ve been with them for so many years. And sometimes, they get some bad third-party to do their place. There was an American Bestway that was terrible, but that’s not on them. And I was pleased when I tell them I don’t want American Bestway to come to my house ever again. They can sell them, and they replace it, which I was pleased with. They respond promptly. So, they are doing their job, so far. And everything they do, I agreed on, before the $100, to do the deductible for 100 bucks. So, they always come through. Saturday was a unique experience. You can really see somebody very new who really needs training.

When my washing machine is not advancing through the cycles, the beauty of it was American Home Shield sent the same technician back the second time because it's actually a follow-up call. Because of what he experienced on the first visit, he knew what the next steps needed to be because he's familiar with the washing machine. He knew what codes from the first time and what the problem was. We're still waiting on a part which is delayed.

I had a leak in a pipe and the repair person told me exactly what he was doing. It went very well, and I was pretty pleased, which is not always the case with American Home Shield.

    I had multiple trouble tickets on my HVAC. I eventually had to come out of pocket $36,000 to replace them both. They would repair, repair, repair and never replace it because it was no longer functioning. Also, some of the parts that they replaced it with were remanufactured parts, which apparently is a no-no. In fact, in some of these instances, they're even unauthorized. I'm a bit disappointed, and the challenge is there are not that many organizations like this.

    The ice bucket of my refrigerator cracked in the bottom, so when the ice came in there, it would just fall through ‘cause there was nothing to hold it. My refrigerator was making ice, but it was falling through the bucket. The repair company American Home Shield assigned had me video something for them to see what the problem was. I didn’t know how to do it, so the lady told me how to do it then a man came out, saw it and said that they had to order the container. The repair company called me when it was ready, which was earlier than what they said it was gonna be.

    Before that, we were buying ice at the store and putting it in there, but we put tape under the bottom, so the ice wouldn’t fall through. We just bring the tray out and get the ice. When the man came and brought the container for it, my refrigerator was giving ice, but it was doing it because we had ice already in there. It wouldn’t go through the little thing on the door. It was not making ice cubes. It would just stay in the same position.

    I called the repair company back to tell them that it was there and it was making noise like it was making ice, but it wasn’t making any. They made an appointment to check out and replace it or fix it if something was wrong, but three days later, it started making ice on its own and it's been doing it ever since. I called to let the repair company know that the machine is working fine. Overall, they did a good job, and everyone was very nice. The man who came was very pleasant and professional too. He told me that it was ready, and everything is okay. I said, “Okay. Thank you very much.”

    So far, the service with American Home Shield is okay. We had a claim recently because it was like smoke was in our brand-new unit. The techs came out, and they charged it up a little bit more. They said the unit was a little bit too big for the portion of the house where it was, so he said to just do one setting. So far, it's been doing pretty good.

    The American Home Shield reps are very nice every time I call. Recently, my washing machine would make a very terrible noise when it was spinning and the water wouldn't drain totally. After the machine would stop, there was still water within the clothes. The techs came twice, and they were very efficient and friendly. The first time, it was to change a part that was called the agitator, then the next time, they came and changed something else that needed to be replaced. However, I noticed that the machine still makes some noise on the finishing cycle, but I can live with it. It's less noise because before it was unbearable.

    The PVC pipe that's on the side of the water heater was leaking on my floor. It was easy to submit a claim online with American Home Shield. I was given the name and the telephone number of the company that will come to do the service. A technician came and explained everything and why that happened. He had to change a little ball thing that sits on top of the water heater. It takes the excess pressure off of the water heater. He also replaced the relief valve. The water heater is operating fine now. On the whole, I would tell others to get American Home Shield.

    I had American Home Shield about a year ago but they didn’t pay one of my charges after taking my deductible from my account. It made me want to switch to somebody else. But after switching, I found out that I might as well go back to Home Shield, so I did. I called them last Friday for a dryer claim and got no response. I called back this morning and that's when they got the action going. They were pretty efficient and they put in another order for my dryer to be fixed. I got a service date of June 3rd from the people that are going to come and service it. Home Shield was doing a pretty good job at getting the people. But my main concern is that in the area where I live, it is hard to find people that do these services.

    I call American Home Shield for my claims and the process is pretty difficult. I usually leave my phone number and name and they call me back. I did one claim and techs came out. The first tech checked the refrigerator and thought it was one thing. He was nice but he didn't really do a whole lot of checking on the refrigerator. I just told him what it was doing. He said that it was both parts and that he would go and get them. He got the parts two weeks later and put the parts on. But that did not fix the issue. I wasn't really happy at first because we had no refrigerator for almost a month.

    A different guy came out the second time and he was nice as well. He said that the compressor was bad and that it was going to cost way too much money to fix my refrigerator since it was as old as it was. He talked to the lady in the claims office and they decided to let me find a new refrigerator. They gave me a list that I could go off of. But by the time I found one that I halfway liked, it was not available. It's really hard to find a refrigerator that was equal to what I had for $1,000 or $1,100.

    I called in a claim to American Home Shield and three different people came out. The last one, R&K, was the one that was able to do the repair work for me. Once their tech got to my house and found out what the issue was, he told me and showed me what it was. Once he tore the heating element down, it had a lot of holes in it and it had rusted. The heat was not going in the house. Part of it was going outside of the unit. He said he had to go back and get the parts approved and ordered. About two weeks later they called and told me they had the parts and that they were ready to send someone out to put them in place. They came out and replaced the heating element that had all burned out in my air conditioner and heating unit.

    Everything is functioning fine now. The tech had to come back because of a wire. Once he put the heating unit in there, I couldn't get my HC to work the next day. The tech found out a wire had burned loose on the cap. Once he clipped that and put that back together, I haven't had any issues. I'm well satisfied with them. I would recommend them.

    I have used American Home Shield several times and they always try to find someone. If someone said they couldn't do it, they would try to find someone that could. There were a couple of times that the contractor didn't return the call back like they were supposed to have done. One of the contractors claimed they tried to call me but if they had done that, I would have gotten a message. Other than that, I've gotten good service from American Home Shield.

    American Home Shield’s prices have gone way up but they're excellent and that's why I keep them. In the last 15 years, they've replaced every major part of the pool, so it saved me a lot of money on all the equipment. Lately, the companies that they have been referring me to have not waited long to call. They’ve called us and got to it straight away, and the people they use are very good. Alliance called like an hour after my order was turned in, and the tech showed up a half-hour later and fixed my problem. He had the part he needed and installed it right away.

    The only problem I ever had with AHS was when my furnace went out. I had the furnace company in town here look at it. They said, “Oh, it's no good. You've got a leak in your firewall and all that. It has to be replaced.” American Home Shield wouldn't do anything about it and when they sent somebody out, he wouldn't even look at it. So, they should have paid for it, and they didn't cover anything. Other than that, I’ve never had a problem with them. One of the companies they send out to service my pool has done an excellent job.

    The last time that I called American Home Shield was for a leak in a bathroom. Then I called the company that was recommended, Mister Plumber, and they said I had to be more specific about the leak. So they sent the guy over. I paid $75 for it, and said, “I need somebody to tell me where the leak is, if it's coming from a ceiling or something. I don't know if it's coming from faucets.” He called and they told me faucets are not covered. Then he did tell me that there was a leak in the bathroom in one of the toilets. But he also gave me a quote of how much it was to do everything.

    I called American Home Shield back, and they assigned the same company again. I paid another $75. I didn't like the way that turned out. I paid the guy myself $89 to come out and see whatever they can do. I got American Home Shield to come out and fix the leak. The same company fixed it. But I paid too much money trying to find out if it was a mistake. I went through a little bit of jumping through many hoops. But everything's okay now.

    American Home Shield is expensive. I’m paying 60 a month. It used to be $50 for a service charge but now, it's 75. But I've been happy when it's worked. It's just that sometimes you got to go through a lot of red tape, especially if it’s something very expensive. We wanted a cash out with the problem last time. But the cash out was half of whatever it would have cost.

    American Home Shield sent out a company that said I had to pay them $850 to bring everything up to code. But six months before it, something else happened and I paid that much for up to code. They said every time they came out, they had to make sure things were up to code. I got somebody to put it up, make sure it was up to code, and then I called back. It took so much time, and it was freezing and we had no heat.

    Years ago, the girl in the problem-solving section told me that she remembered my case because she got promoted. So she kind of knew what I was talking about. She gave me the next time free because there was a mix-up, and they messed up something. They said, “The next time you have anything, remind us that you have a credit.” So I did and they used it. American Home Shield has helped me with other things. But the main reason in the back of my mind is the expense of a central air system and heat that I might end up having to pay, which I don't have the money for.

If you go in right back to back, it will link up and remember that you had just had that done. It escalates it on its own now. You don't have to try to figure out how to tell it or put it in and then have to get on the phone and say, “I put it back in but this is for the same issue so that you can escalate it.” It says, “I noticed that this is already done before. Please add extra notes.” Also, when I log in, all three properties are there. I don't have to log into separate accounts. It's all in one spot. I can just switch from one property to the next.

    The air conditioner stopped working for my recent claim. The fan was blowing but on the inside, the handler wouldn't come on and blow the cold air. It was really awesome this time because the guy called but I was running late and I said, “I can unlock the door remotely.” By the time I could get there, he said, “You can turn around. I know what the problem is. You can lock the house back up.” I turned around and went back to work. The motor needed to be replaced.

    The system sent me an update. It's cool now because before, you got multiple emails. You got an email from American Home Shield and an email from the vendor. But this time, the email came from American Home Shield, even though it was the vendor, so you only had to look for one email address now.

    We had water leaking from a faucet. The experience of submitting the claim to American Home Shield was terrible. The person I talked to could barely speak English. She was very dismissive and wasn't listening to what I was saying. They got the totally wrong location. They thought a faucet was leaking inside the house and not outside the house. All kinds of information was wrong about the whole thing. I was really frustrated at the end of that call because I didn't know if they knew what I was talking about.

    That aside, the contractor we got was wonderful and we were really happy with them. I take them to the problem, they were able to look at it and present me with a few different options. They didn't know if they'd be authorized to do one of the options, even though it was the better way to go. One option would have us ripping out our fireplace, which would be a huge mess. The other was rerouting it so it came out somewhere else which was simpler and easier for everybody. They had to do a follow-up and we didn't hear back right away. They contacted us recently and said they had authorization. We made a plan to go forward with that, which is great. Everyone's happy with it.

    We also had one or two instances that we used the home warranty for our dishwasher. We had somebody come in and they were great. The whole experience was so smooth and we decided to renew. But we had a claim where it was an emergency for us but the response was very slow. I had to shut off all the water in the house and it was several days before we could get anybody here. I knew one of the contractors I talked to said he was available on Monday. For whatever reason, he wasn't booked. He got busy and we didn't see anyone until Tuesday or Wednesday. Luckily, we were able to solve the massive leakage and we could turn the water back on in our house. Overall, I was generally pretty happy with the exception of that one incident.

    I wasn't pleased when I called initially because American Home Shield was steering me to ProConnect. I've had experience with ProConnect and I've had a lot of questions about them but no one has been able to answer my questions. The first time I reached out to American Shield, I was recommended based on an email that I received from American Shield that ProConnect was offering this service for my dryer to be vacuumed. I assumed, receiving this email from American Home Shield, that they were part of American Home Shield, or they were recommended. To my surprise, it was not.

    It was supposed to be a cost of $99 but we normally pay 79 for these visits. When the technician arrived, he said $103 and some cents. I begin to question him and he said, “We are not part of American Shield.” I decided to go ahead and let him back in my dryer. I gave him the check for $99. My dryer did not work after that service. I called American Shield to tell them my issue. I told them I used ProConnect based on their recommendation and their email directly to me. I also told them that perhaps I should reach out to ProConnect again. Whoever was on the phone thought that was a good idea, to get rid of me.

    I reached out to ProConnect again. They came back out and that turned into a $260 cost. This young man who came to do this work contacted the office. I asked, “Are you a sister company?” They assured me they were not. I said, “I don’t understand what you were doing interceding for American Home Shield?” Nobody could give me any direct answers. I paid this man his $260 after much discussion between the office and the young man who was here to do the work. I told him, “Going forward, I will not use your service again, even if it means changing my own home warranty.” They were so sorry and left.

    I called American Home Shield for my air conditioning unit and they sent me directly to fill out some form. This form was an agreement with ProConnect. I called again and asked, "Is ProConnect and American Home Shield one company now?” They assured me that was not true. But they couldn't go forward with my request for my AC check for the spring because I would need to give ProConnect permission. I called American Home Shield again. I said, “Let me take a look at what it is you want me to give permission for.” There was a lengthy form that I was supposed to read and agree to and sign. I called again and told them, “I will not do that and if I don't get any satisfaction about this, my contract is up in September, and I will not be renewing it.”

    I finally got an appointment with Piedmont but I'm still unhappy about that whole situation with ProConnect. The most difficult thing with American Home Shield is in communicating. You reach entirely too many automated services and sometimes, you need to speak with a live person. Then when you get a live person, sometimes, there is difficulty in understanding what it is they're trying to say to you, and they are having trouble understanding what you are trying to say to them. They're always polite but there's a difficulty with the language.

    We're in our infant stages with American Home Shield and so far, so good. Their service, in terms of the format and the layout, is much better. I was with another company and I switched. When American Home Shield bombarded me with six or seven emails, I called in and asked what it was. They said it was a free service they offer to premier customers to have their contractor come out and do a check of my system. They usually do a fall and spring check on the system.

    The contractor they sent out was great. My only negative comment would be the fact that they couldn't pinpoint when the tech was going to be there. I was told it was going to be a four-hour window. I understand that service providers default to the four-hour window because they don't want you to call them every 10 minutes. If they say they're going to be at one o'clock and it's 1:15, the old people are going to be on the phone hounding them. But if they can provide a shorter window, that would be beneficial because I'm waiting for them.

    Five years ago, when I bought the house, we got American Home Shield. By the end of the first winter, we had already used it and decided that it was well worth the expense to keep it. So, we've used it two or three times. Recently, the disposal disintegrated. The contractor was very nice and helped me get it explained to the supervisor so that they didn't have to open up a second work order. And they took care of it. Since initially it wasn't covered under my policy, I upgraded the policy while the plumbers were on their way to the house. It worked out well.

    When we upgraded the policy, I gave AHS a credit card and paid for it right then and there. And for the next couple of weeks, I kept getting phone calls saying, “Oh, no. It didn't go through. You still owe us $100.” I said, “Oh, no. It went through, I guarantee you.” So, they spent about an hour talking with my wife. And I believe it has been resolved. I upgraded for all my appliances now. Living here in Maryland, having a well, it does things to your appliances that I never knew about. So, it gives us a bit of peace of mind that all this stuff is accounted for. And we're just gonna hang in there with it.

    American Home Shield sent Mid State Plumbing for my toilet. It was all fixed good in good timing. The tech knew exactly what the issue was. Mid State Plumbing came twice. The first time was for plug drains, and I thought the problem was solved. Then after the tech left, I realized that my toilet was running all the time. He came a couple of days later and fixed it. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.

    I spoke to a representative when I did the claim to AHS, I had a very hard time with her. I hate when they get these foreigners that can't speak very good English, and you can't understand. I asked her if I could talk to somebody else, and she would not give me to anyone else. I called back a second time, and I got her again. I said, “Not you again,” and I hung up.

I had to wait for another one. A third appointment was made and these people were very difficult to meet. I was waiting and they couldn't make it.

    We set up one appointment, and the first technician broke down. I canceled that 'cause of my schedule, and we had to wait another week. After that, finally, another technician from Hornet showed up. He was there 20 minutes and checked, but it was just excuses about why they could not do what they were supposed to do. My refrigerator is not properly making ice, so the technician said there are several things that have to be fixed. However, he can't fix them because he can't figure out which model that particular refrigerator is, therefore, it's unfixable. The refrigerator's been in and out for almost three weeks, and no one has followed up. The only one I've ever spoken to is the call center, and they try their best to help.

    I spoke to the call center last week and told them what the technician told me figuring that someone would follow up and tell me, "Hey, we're gonna be able to replace your refrigerator," or "We're gonna be able to fix it and we'd like to do it as quickly as possible." No one has done so and this was a horrible start for American Home Shield's first month on me. Let alone if something serious broke in my home and it was freezing outside and my heater went out, how long would I have to wait? The whole purpose of having a home warranty was for me to have convenience, and instead, it's been excuses and no answers. I work for a major company called Mercedes-Benz, and I can't do that on a customer's car, because that's what they drive. Follow-up is very important. This really irks at me because it's unacceptable. If it's a vendor problem, American Home Shield should get a new vendor.

    Today, I haven't had the time to sit down and waste another hour talking to a call center. It's horrible that they have to do that. They should have someone who works for the company answering our calls, like we do at Mercedes-Benz. We're a bigger company than they are, and we're able to manage to do that and try to exceed the customer's expectations. That's not happening with American Home Shield. My thought today was I'm gonna call and cancel my services.

    They're not providing great service, unless somebody calls me today and tells me, "Hey, we're gonna replace your refrigerator, find out what the costs involved are." American Home Shield should give me a process that I need to follow, so I can get my refrigerator either repaired or replaced. It's really that simple, and it hasn't come down to that. It's all been, "We'll get back with you next week. We'll call you tomorrow." Meanwhile, my refrigerator's sitting there with my food in it, and no one really cares, because they don't live in my home. I do. I'm being held at bay, because it's my freezer, and I need an answer. Either they're gonna fix it or not, and if they're not gonna repair or replace it, they should refund me my home warranty so I can get a company that will do what I need to do when I need it done.

    American Home Shield should be more in touch with the client as well. At Mercedes-Benz, we get an email survey on our clients within five days of them buying a car. Good or bad, the reality comes out. AHS should do the same. If they were to send me a survey three days after I got someone appointed to come to my house, they would know by now that I'm an unhappy customer and try to fix it, but they have not done so. It's unsatisfactory when it comes to their services.

They didn't have the part and they had to get a whole replacement piece. Their tech came back a second time and installed a new garbage disposal.

    Aside from that, we had previous repairs with American Home Shield. A year ago, I had my HVAC system break down and there was some confusion about the whole process. But in the end, it was fixed. There are also some things that aren't covered for various reasons. If you don't read all of the fine print, you may find that things aren't covered. The sump pump broke in my house that they said was not covered because of the way it was hooked up.

    It would be better if American Home Shield did a better evaluation process early on when you sign up to tell you exactly what is and what is not covered so that you have a better idea of what your coverage is. That way, you don't have to guess by reading every little tiny detail in the contract. When you ask them over the phone, it’s very general. It would be more transparent if you knew ahead of time. On the whole, the monthly fee of American Home Shield is a little expensive but it's worthwhile if you have appliances that are aging and could potentially break or need to be replaced.

American Home Shield wasn’t on top of it. But the company that came out, Fast Response, was really good.

    Our air conditioning broke. We did a claim for it and there was a communication breakdown between Home Shield and the service company. When the service company came out, they were fantastic and they knew what to do. It turned out to be my thermostat. It was a quick fix. Home Shield on the other hand is absolutely horrible to deal with now.

    Claims submission over the phone went real well. I let rep know what was going on, and she got right on it. The problem started with my icemaker quitting to work and when the guy came to fix that, he figured out we had a leak behind the refrigerator. I had to call the plumber, Rooter King. They came, and the guy wasn't even here 45 minutes, if that long. He knew his stuff, and he was able to diagnose and fix it right away. That was the second time he came.

    We just used American Home Shield’s service for a free maintenance checkup for the air conditioning. So far, so good. We also used them for a repair on an appliance. The tech knew exactly what the issue was. We had gone on a trip, and when we got home, there was water under our refrigerator. We cleaned it all up and then we thought, “Okay. Maybe it was just because of that.” But then something really was leaking so we called AHS and we had turned the water off on the back of the refrigerator because we didn't know what it was. The tech replaced a part and everything was good to go. So far, our refrigerator’s been fine.

    The thing that was interesting was we're in Stafford and the guy from the HVAC company came all the way from Ladysmith. I was like, “Wow. That's pretty far. “ It was Shepherds Heating and Air, but he said he's got the contract with AHS. I just thought he would be more local. He was really good and nice and informative, but I felt bad that he had to come all the way out here.

    AHS can do a little better with their response time. In recent years, whenever we placed a call with AHS, it would take a maximum of four days. But this year, I placed three calls. One was for the smoke detector and it took them almost a month to come and fix it. Last month, my AC was not working. It took almost three weeks to come and fix it. Right now, our water heater is broken. It's almost 17 days and nobody's here yet. They said they are going to come tomorrow. But, this is the only problem we are having.

    The AC is fine. But I have two major issues. The technician who came last time switched it so that it would heat only and that's why my air isn't working. That's a concern because that cost me $75 for a service call. My other issue is that my refrigerator is still not fixed. There have been four separate calls and the guys that AHS sent last month, I called right after they left because the tech said that the water wasn't going through the line and that wasn't true. When he was in the home, there were adults that were communicating with him. He went out to his truck and never came back.

    Also, when we opened the door to the refrigerator, the drawer was broken. I called AHS to report that. Not only are my water dispenser and refrigerator not working but I have a broken drawer as well. I requested another company to come and fix it and nobody has come yet. Most of the time, I get good customer service but I wouldn't recommend the technicians AHS sends sometimes. Also, when I call for a follow-up, people say they're going to follow up and they don't.

    Our heater was old and at some point, we knew it would fail. I filled out a request online with American Home Shield and we had Pinnacle come out. They looked at the heater and assessed everything. They said, “We can replace this part and do this, but there's no guarantee it won't break in the next winter.” My wife and I talked and said we would rather replace the whole thing even though there would be a cost that would be part of it. At least we would have a reliable guaranteed system.

    On the whole, this transaction was very easy. Pinnacle contacted American Home Shield for the amount that they would put forward. They worked with American Home Shield and did a great job of doing the reimbursement of what was needed. They did a good job.

I had to call a claim to my insurance company because American Home Shield will not contact me and there's mold and water down there. That has to be cleaned out. It was horrible.
