    I tried to turn the heat on for the first time for the year and it was inoperable. The furnace didn't fire up and it got a little chilly. The contractor got out very fast. I called American Home Shield on a Friday and I got a call on Monday morning. They were out Monday afternoon and they were right on time. They got the job done quickly.

    I recommend AHS but with one exception. I got a phone call three weeks before and a woman said, “Hey, you're getting ready to expire. You want to do a renewal?” I said, "I'm busy but call me back in a week or so." She said, “Well, how about next Thursday?” I said, “I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing next Thursday.” She asked again, "Well, would Thursday work?” And I said, “You know what? No. Don't call me back.” And I hung up the phone. They need to ease up a bit because what went through my mind at that moment in time was, “You know what? Screw them. I’ll call a different company. Other than that, over the course of the three years, I've had AHS, it's proven to be of value.

    The handle on our bathtub was broken, so we couldn't turn it. It was only on scalding hot because the screw was stripped on the inside. Once the tech was able to get that off, he could see that the handle was broken. He went out, grabbed another handle and came back and put it on. He was a perfect gentleman. He didn't make me feel uncomfortable. He got the job done. He was quick and efficient. He was nice and lovely. American Home Shield was included with the purchase of our home and we just stuck with them because we've made claims before and they were always quick and efficient in finding someone in a timely manner where we were not just left wondering. Also, they are reasonably priced. They cover majority of the bases that needs to be covered. Their customer service is impeccable.

    My dishwasher was not working. I've had it serviced many times and it still wasn't cleaning my dishes. The techs looked at it and confirmed that I needed a new dishwasher. I got the new one but it has not been installed. Under my sink, the water valve needs to be replaced so GE is coming out again to replace that water valve.

    One of my toilets was running from time to time. =Then the second one, it started to do the same. I called AHS to get that fixed and I received the call from the tech as soon as I booked their requirements. We talked about the day that somebody was coming and the tech came on the day that we agreed on. He fixed the issues in less than an hour and told me to call back if I saw something. Everything was okay the day that he did it but then, one of the toilets was running again, but not as frequently as it was. Also, I haven't called because it's not related to him doing something correctly, it's the water that is just running.

    I had put in a request for the repair of a refrigerator. AHS sent out a company that didn't fix it. Then they tried to charge me again to get somebody else out. Then they got somebody else out that didn't fix it. But when I had something wrong with my pool filter, they had sent a company that was fine. For our garage door, the guy came out and disconnected something and was like, “I hope this fixes it. But all garage doors have this problem.” So far, we haven't had the same problem. But AHS has to have a better check and balance on who they're hiring. If I’m hiring them and their company works, that's great. But if I'm hiring this other company that doesn't work, then AHS shouldn't go with that company. Because I'm paying AHS to make sure that this stuff is covered, not them.

    At one point, I was thinking of changing American Home Shield because I have an icemaker, and techs had come out six times for it. A little arm inside the icemaker fell off into the ice. I took it out and set it on top of the refrigerator. I mentioned that to the tech and he asked me why U took it off. I said, “I didn't take it off. It fell.” I don't feel that I should have to be defending myself. Just fix the icemaker or replace it. It's that simple.

    Out of those six times that the techs came, I probably paid the fee three or four times. They replaced the ice maker once or twice already. American Home Shield keep sending me this company and they don't speak English. One tech didn't even understand what I was talking about. And every time they come out here, the return appointment is not for three weeks. One guy came out here last week. I couldn't get a return appointment until November 17th, so I was without ice that whole time. I'm not happy with the service.

    American Home Shield needs to screen their contractors better. I don't want them to come out anymore. But we don't get a choice of who comes to us. We should be able to have that choice. If that company can't come out, find another one. It seems like there are some kickbacks in there for somebody. Another thing is even when I call on the phone, the rep speaks English but she has a heavy accent. Those things aside, I'm pleased pretty much with everything else.

    A repairman came for the toilet that was not filling. He told me what the issue was. Before the issues with my water, American Home Shield covers what I thought was everything, but it doesn't. But overall, I'm satisfied. I've used them quite a few times for various things on the house and appointments were easy to make. Anybody who's ever contracted with American Home Shield knew what they were doing. They came out fast as well. I would like the possibility to add on additional coverage on the contract and more, if something wasn't under the contract. It would be good if there was a fee that could be added on that you could pay for the month or when the appointment window occurred that you could add on as an addendum to cover that as well.

    When Beaches Air came the first time, the fan wasn’t working so they had to replace something. Still, the air conditioner wasn’t working. So they came out a second time. The fan wouldn’t cut off and we even turned it up. They came out a third time and they’ve been at it four times. So, I contacted American Home Shield for the conversion over to cold weather. We had a different company come out and within two minutes, the guy said that everything was fine and it was just the smart motor doesn’t shut off. I have a $650 electric bill because the fan ran continuously.

    AHS is very good. It gives us some protection. Up until now, the technicians they send have been good. But when Beaches Air came out four times and it still didn't work, I said no. AHS said that Beaches Air asked to come back on a recall. So I paid for two ones and then two recalls. And even after that, they couldn't figure out it's the motor. They're coming tomorrow hopefully. I could have gone with the other company that had the correct diagnosis. But then I'd have to pay another $75 for them to come back out. I already paid $225 to American Home Shield three times. God help that poor technician when he comes tomorrow. I'm going to be nice about it. I'm gonna say it’s the motor and I'm going to show him the $600 electric bill.

When I had an AC claim, the contractor came out and they did a very good troubleshoot. They didn't go with the most expensive or extreme route. But they tried to salvage what was there and worked through the problem, and I really liked that. The fact that somebody came out and they didn't say, “Yeah, you got to replace the whole thing,” was just a relief to us. My dad was impressed with the service too when I told him, “Yeah, I only had to pay 130 and they came out and did this.” He said, “Wow, that would have been like a $3,000 job.” So I'm grateful.

    Usually, my issues have been more like plumbing or with my refrigerator or my dishwasher, and American Home Shield has handled those expeditiously.

It's been a couple of weeks since they were last here. I had an issue with the HVAC last summer. There's a process you have to go through if you want to use someone else based on the timeframe that it was going to take for another contractor to come in. I have a local HVAC company that we've used previously, and they went through the process that was required. My wife stayed on the phone for over an hour with her phone on speaker. No one from AHS ever took her call. I called and it was 45 minutes and I finally just hung up. So, AHS could do better in their department that approves other vendors.

    The pool was not holding prime, which usually means it has a leak somewhere. I had a pool company come out that wanted $2,600 to replace a bunch of valves. I double-checked my American Home Shield warranty and it said it covered what I needed. I should have called them first. The guy came out and fixed it with probably a $10 gasket. But I'm having trouble with the most recent claim I have with AHS. I have an outside faucet and it's dripping so I tried to get it fixed by doing a request online. Faucets were not on there so I just put that I had a leak. The plumber wouldn't work on it because he said it's a faucet and I had to notify AHS. So, them and said that I put leak because there was no other option on the internet. The rep said they don't cover faucets. Now, I'm having to scramble trying to find a plumber to come out and work on it that's reasonable.

    The plumber that AHS had originally assigned to this that told me I had to call AHS wanted $225 just to come out. I wasn’t doing that. I called another plumber and they wanted $69 to come out and tell me what's it gonna cost to fix it, and I didn't wanna do that. I have a plumber out today who said they come out for no charge and say what it's gonna cost. He wanted $400 to fix a leaky faucet and sell me some kind of membership so we didn't use him. It looks like what I'm gonna have to do is try to fix it myself. I probably can but the biggest challenge will be to turn the water off.

    I was disappointed with the coverage. I thought that even if you had a faucet leaking inside, AHS will cover that. So, I was surprised. Up till now, I've been pleased with them. They've always fixed my issue. Especially with the pool, because I've had issues with the pumps and the motors and they always cover that. I usually get a response right away. If I need to call, I can get somebody on the phone and I have that service that you can leave your numbering to, and they'll call you back, which is nice.

    I have a three-car garage and there are two separate garage doors. I filed claims with AHS for the large garage door and the small garage door when they stopped working. They were successful in fixing both of those. In submitting my claims, I went online through the AHS website and it makes the process very simple and convenient. I also like the fact that their contractors get back very promptly to us, usually within 24 hours. Their appointments are very timely as well. Of the various claims I've had, all the contractors seemed to have been very effective and professional. But I had one claim for a plumbing leak where the contractor thought he had fixed the problem but he didn't. And he responded quickly when I notified American Home Shield and they sent him back out. Then he got the problem fixed right. As for the tech who came out for the garage door, he has a very good reputation here in the area where I live.

    The contractor came out and did a check for my AC. It was a $75 maintenance check. When the people were here, they realized that it was some other part that I needed. The technician contacted American Home Shield and got an order for them to come out for that and I wouldn't have to pay extra for that. When I called AHS about my garbage disposal, they sent the guy out. He came in here with some kind of wrought iron and a hammer to see what was going on with my garbage disposal, because it wouldn't work. He was trying to get it out to replace it. But he didn't know what he was doing with it and was trying to find on his phone instructions on how to disconnect. He finally told me, "You got a fork lodged in there. You see a little shiny something, that's probably something." He just told me that he couldn't fix it, and left.

    I called and said, "Well, I'll just cancel this service because they send people out here and they don't know what they're doing." The man on the phone asked me why and I told him what happened. What I did was I called my plumber and bought another disposal and had him install it. I had the old one and he asked me to take a picture of it and send it to him, and I did. They sent me a check. I canceled then, but I eventually canceled because I never thought to use it like the way, I can use it with regular service calls. I've sold new construction lately and they come with a warranty. So, I'll consider AHS when I get a deal of a pre-existing.

You don't even have a heat pump in your house." The tech said that he didn't have the model that we needed and he would run to the store to pick it up.

    I've been with American Home Shield going on two years now. I was with them before about three years, and I let them go because they were high, but I found out they were the only one that could fix my problems in my home. However, they need to add inside-the-home freezers on the plan for the simple reason that people have freezers. Everything don't fit in the icebox.

    I can't do a lot of outside running around, so I do everything by phone and the reps are awesome. I have no problem with them, but I have a problem with the contractor and billing, where billing should do more with a person's money. They need to make sure that the contractor completed their job and check in with the owner as well. I got a claim that I paid to have my roof done, and the contractor did not complete the job. I'm dissatisfied right now because American Home Shield told me they were going to follow up on the job but there was no follow-up. That's why I don't like paying my money upfront, because people don't do what they say they're gonna do.

    The people that came out didn't knock on my door and didn't even say they were finished. We just heard them on top of the roof. I take medication, and I can't jump out of my bed to come see. They ought to have knocked on a person's door and made sure they were addressing that issue that was called in for. The hole is still in my damn roof, and it's unacceptable. I even told the owner that I called back and they lied and said they were gonna come back and do what they were supposed to do. I addressed the issue, and now I'm gonna have to come out of pocket and pay somebody 'cause I'm not paying American Home Shield any more to do something that was already supposed to have been done. Still, having a home warranty helps when you ain't got no money.

    I have a love-hate relationship with American Home Shield. I have to be on hold. I have to call them all the time. I have to complain or threaten to turn off my service before they try to say, “We'll see if we can make an exception,” or a waiver or send someone new. I have a difficult time getting to the goals of fixing issues. American Home Shield sends out a work request then they are hands off. They don't make sure that the appliance was fixed or the issue was corrected. They don't even follow up with me nor with the vendor of their choosing that they send to us. I have had to have the same appliances fixed multiple times and paid separate each time.

    Furthermore, we have had people come so many times for these things. It's always between 8:00 and 1:00 o'clock or 10:00 and 4:00. It's been frustrating. I have a washer/dryer set that I've had three people come out to work on it. It still puts holes and damages our clothes. My wife went out and bought a new washer and dryer set. The old one is in the garage. I told the technician to come look at it a couple of weeks ago. He said, “I'm sorry. You got to hook this stuff up for me to test it.” The one in the basement leaked water then it burnt out. The last company fixed it. They were awesome. They came with machines and equipment. They had to order other parts then come back. They worked with me on the time too. They came on a Saturday and in the evening one day. Everyone before them has been a nightmare. I wouldn't do business with them if I was in that realm of work.

    The folks that I've worked with with American Home Shield have not been accommodating for a customer service-based company. They're there to make the money and maximize profit. I had seven water leaks in my house. I put the request in, paid money and had a guy come out. He cut open a bunch of holes in the ceiling and told us that was $100. Obtaining access to the problem isn't included in the home warranty. I negotiated with him on the phone and said, “My wife has $50 on here. Can you just accept $50?” I could have come home from work and cut the hole in the drywall with a bread knife. That shouldn't have been charged. Then we called American Home Shield and they said, "They shouldn't have charged that.” My wife had a handwritten receipt that the guy gave her. I offered to provide that and get reimbursement. They said, “No. That's not how it works. We can't reduce it from your $75 fee or reimburse you for that. You shouldn't have paid. You should have called us.”

    I had purchased a plan a couple of years ago with coverage for my well & septic pumps. Unknown to me, they dropped the coverage on the septic pump & increased my premiums by 25%. I was ok with the premium increase as everything is going up lately. When I needed to have the septic pump looked at, they took my deductible $$$, but couldn't find a repairman in my area. Finally after several phone calls, they agreed to allow me to find a local repairman--which I was able to do without a problem. They provided me details on the process, and gave me phone number for him to call to get authorization for the repairs. After 2 weeks of going round after round with them & every excuse in the book why they wouldn't cover it (first is because it wasn't in the perimeter of the foundation, which makes no sense & many of them had no idea what a check valve even was (the initial cause of the problem), they finally stated that it wasn't in my contract.

    Sometime in the last couple of years, they had revised the contract dropping the coverage for the septic pump (but the payment never went down to offset the pump no longer being covered). In the end, they kept the deductible/service call payment $125 that I made when I started the process, I've now paid the $1300 repair out of my pocket & they are now billing me for a cancellation fee of $60. My advice, put the $$ you would be paying them in a savings account for repairs when they come you. You will be money ahead. Never again.

    I paid for a tune-up on my AC system which is the $35 special that they had. The only reason I called in for the service was for them to check to make sure things were fine and nothing was wrong with the AC. It was to clean it up more than anything and to do a tune-up. But Crispy AC did a diagnostic on it and they turned it off from the top of of the roof without letting me know. A couple of days later, I go turn the AC on because it was getting too hot. I noticed that the AC wasn't on so I called Crispy AC. They said, “No. You have to call your warranty and tell them to do a recall on the service with the AC.” I called American Home Shield, and they said, ‘We don't do a recall on a tune-up.” I told them that the techs turned my AC off and that they should go back. AHS then said that in order for the techs to do that, they would charge me $100.

    I paid the $100 and I was supposed to get the techs back. I have been transferred over to the department to fix the problem and I said that somebody had to be responsible for this because the AC company didn't call me nor let me know what the findings were on the AC. AHS said they found this and that but that was after the fact that I paid for them to go back and turn my AC on. The lady goes, "Okay" and they transferred me. I waited for the call from home warranty and the main manager called me back. I was already in the process of saying, "Somebody say they’re liable or I'm gonna sue someone because I can't be without the AC on. I had no problem with AC and it was turning on fine. Now it doesn't even come on.”

    The manager said, that they were going to have the guy go back to turn the AC and that they would refund my $100. I haven't seen that yet and I don't know if AHS refunded that money. Another tech went back and I said, "Why would they turn AC off without letting me know." He said, “Well, we couldn't leave that AC on because a leak is going on in your AC.” I reply, “But it was working fine. I don't have no problem with the AC for the four years." He then said that if we left the AC on, the warranty company was not going to pay for whatever damage was done on the AC.

    I go, “First of all, they didn't let me know at all when they left it.” He said they did. I go, “No they didn't. My roommate was in the house.” At that moment, he goes, ‘No, I cannot believe that because my guys are very good. I am reporting that right away.” I go, "No. let me prove it to you.” I called my roommate out, and I say, “Hey, is this true that the guy gave you a report?” He goes, “No, he just told me to sign the paper and he left. He didn't tell me anything about the AC, or that he was going to turn it off so he was going to leave it off.

    AHS needs to be more aware of their contractors when they go over to their clients. They need to communicate with them better and hold them accountable for whatever they do. The contractors should report findings right away. It's very important to let the client know right away what the findings are. Other than that, AHS has been great with me.

    When our refrigerator for 17 years went out, AHS had someone come out and he deemed it unrepairable. AHS then gave us an allowance for a new one, which was very satisfying. We also had a garage door opener that they replaced for us. Then, when our heating and cooling unit had a part that was broken, AHS had someone repair that. But when he first came out, he tried it eight times and it worked every time. So we paid $125 to have him come out and say it was working. But he said the warranty on the service was good for 30 days, so we'd been trying it a couple of times a day to make sure it was still working.

    At another time, they sent out a guy to work on our garage door and we were not happy with him. He said he could not repair it through AHS because the problem was due to an electric storm. But he said he could repair it by himself for $400. So we called another company and when they came over, it just needed a simple change because the remote controller for it on the wall was bad. And we paid them 90 some odd dollars for that. AHS then refunded our $125 after we yelled and promised not to cancel. When we tell our friends we have American Home Shield, they would say they'd never get their warranty and that it'd be a waste of money. So we tried to defend it and tell them about our refrigerator and our garage door opener.

When the plumbers came, they went up in the attic and saw that it was a line coming to the water heater, and so they were able to go up and repair the joint that was leaking. They did an amazingly quick and easy fix to what could have been a major disaster having to tear out wallboard and pipes. I was very thrilled with the outcome.

    The techs were kind and friendly, and they got the job done. They called in advance to say, “We're coming.” When they looked at their schedule, they thought it was going to have to be later on in the day because they were already booked that day.

    My hot water heater exploded and went all the way through the wall into the living room. I was in Dallas and my wife was flipping out. She couldn't figure out how to turn the water off and it took 15 minutes to talk her through it and calm her down and get her to do it. I came home and our hot water heater was just gone. The whole bottom eroded out of it. So, we made a claim for the hot water heater with American Home Shield and we chose the cash out option. Supposedly, the check’s on the way to us.

    The claims process took a lot longer than I thought and AHS was saying it was the plumbing company. I went to the plumbing company and asked them directly, and it was them. When the plumbing company finally handled their end, AHS was quick to process what we were looking for. So I was happy with that. So far, the experience with AHS has been good, as long as everything comes through, which it should be. I had another claim with the air conditioner and someone was out here the next day. That was more of stupidity on my part and nothing had to be fixed. It was just taking it a long time to cool the home down. Everything was handled in a good timely manner.

    AHS sent a tech out and he did an analysis. The claim was for an older ceiling fan and it got wired incorrectly and it burned out. They said that, since it was not wear and tear, it's not covered. But it's in my contract that said improper wiring. So I canceled my policy. I was a little upset about the whole ordeal. Because not only was I paying on a policy, I paid $130 for the tech to come out and evaluate what the problem was and then they told me that problem isn't covered. They sold me a fraudulent contract. They can't advertise all this stuff, and then turn around and tell me that it's not covered.

    I've been with AHS for three years and I love the service. With them, we won't have the unexpected huge bill at one time. Recently, the dishwasher had an error message and it stopped working. I've had the same tech I got a couple of times and he's great. We had to order a part which came within a week. The tech scheduled to come back before he left the first time and it was seamless. AHS's service charge is worth every penny. The warranty gives peace of mind because if my air conditioner goes bad, I just have to pay the co-pay.

    American Home Shield dispatched the professionals who solved the problem very quickly and efficiently. Sears A&E did an excellent job. At the same time, my garbage disposal started leaking. Usually, when it leaks, it's a problem because it's rotted out. So, I called AHS saying the garbage disposal is the problem and they sent a good licensed plumber in the area and they replaced the garbage disposal. I go to one place to get dispatched stuff get fixed and I don't have to worry about the overall cost with AHS. I like that I just worry about the 125 fixed fee. For me to go out and buy the garbage disposal without installing is over $140. For $125 with AHS, it was put in and installed. I didn't have to mess with it. And it would have been at least another $90 more if I had contracted somebody else to come in and fix it.

    Everything was great. It’s the best service I ever had out of American Home Shield. I called in about three o'clock one afternoon, saying my furnace wasn't working. The man that I talked to was helpful. I told him my husband had passed away and I didn't know what I was doing right now. He said they would find someone to come out to my house and he was looking right then. AHS had someone scheduled to come out here the next day from 10:00 to 2:00 the next day. I never had that kind of service.

    My husband used to get so mad. This is the air conditioning and I have bad heart problems and he would tell the rep that he felt like I couldn't handle the heat. It never made them any difference but AHS got the people out here. They were good people. My husband would always made the calls and that was my first call to American Home Shield in all those years. Somebody had to make it so I was the only one here other than the cat and I’m pleased with the way they treated me

    I had a good experience with American Home Shield this last time. The tech was one of the best I've had. I wanted to hire him because he's smart. A lot of times, those guys want to skate out of it. But he deep dived into it and he was good. He did a good job. I also threw the dishwasher in there because it wasn't getting water. He looked at that and he said that I needed to call the plumber first and make sure the water was coming through the pipe. And that once I've verified that, if it came through the pipe, call him back and he would come out at no charge. He's supposed to say that, because it's 30 days anyway. But I called the plumber and it wasn't the appliance, it was the water.

    My side by side freezer and refrigerator went out and American Home Shield put my claim through right away. It turned out that the unit was under warranty by LG because of all the issues that LG has had in the past. But as soon as the contractor came in, they fixed it. I was hoping though that AHS would compensate me because it took three weeks to get it fixed and I lost a lot of food. There was no compensation for anything in the unit that had gone bad. Still, I'm glad that I have AHS and I'll continue keeping my service with them. I’m very happy.

He came and verified it and noticed that it had nothing to do with the tank and that it was more of an AC unit issue than it was a plumbing issue. So, he referred me to American Air Temp.

    I had a toilet issue where my toilet wasn't flushing correctly and it was leaking water out the back end of it. So all that was wrong with it was the mechanism that was inside the toilet. The seal that was on the bottom was jacked up. The nut at the bottom of the toilet was also loose. They had to replace it because the seal broke. It was leaking about 30 gallons a day. I called American Home Shield on a Thursday and the plumbing company came out on Tuesday last week. So it took a couple of days. But when they came out, they fixed it. It was just a matter of getting on their schedule.

    I had to call them a second time just to get on their schedule. But I've worked with them in the past even when I didn't have American Home Shield. They're really great plumbers. The owner made sure I was on the schedule for that day. They were professional and they finished the work in less than two hours. Everything's working fine now. I was glad because I was losing that amount of water per day and my water bill was at 277.

    The customer service at American Home Shield was excellent. Once I got them on the phone, it was like a straight shot from there. But the cost is a little bit up there. However, I've done actual plumbing calls myself where I've paid anywhere between $150 and $175 for one call or issue, plus paying for parts. So American Home Shield is fair when you look at the overall cost. They replaced my whole mechanism on this plumbing claim. I didn't have to pay for the parts. I just paid the 125 that I paid for the service call. So when I look at it compared to past times, I've actually spent less money by having American Home Shield.

    The light would always continue to flash when we try to turn it on. I knew I had a problem somewhere, but I didn't know if it was a light fixture, a light switch, or something else, so I called American Home Shield. The contractor narrowed it down by checking everything else out, then once he found it was a faulty switch, he went, got the part and put it in. The man went above and beyond, and it’s working perfect. I've had that contractor out before as well, and they have done great work. I got this coverage for the first year when I bought this house, and now, I'm getting ready to go on four years. As I'm getting older, it's smarter to keep someone on hand. It's worth paying the money every month. It's $80 a month, and I have things taken care of, like that faulty switch. I also don't think the prices haven't gone up since I've started.

    American Home Shield has done great work where they've replaced a dishwasher and washing machine that have gone wrong. We argued a little over our air conditioner, and I ended up losing, but now, we're about done paying for a brand new one that we bought at that time. Give or take, I’ve lost one, but I've gained three things and more, because I've had plumbing issues that I've been able to call about. Every time, I can't complain about it afterwards. That’s what I call them for. I've told a few people that it’s smart to get American Home Shield. If someone is getting a home, it's one of the smartest things to do. Not unless they're really mechanically inclined and ultimately rich, then calling someone to pay someone to come out each and every time is their best bet.

    So far, it's been very easy to enter a claim, and we got a response from American Home Shield right away, who was assigned to our claim and that we'd be hearing from them. We heard from vendors in a timely manner, and they were very on time with appointments and very thorough. We had two repairs last week. We had a plumbing repair with our water heater, and our freezer seemed to be working fine and holding temperature, but our refrigerator was registering about 50 degrees. The tech came out and he was fantastic. He was able to identify the problem quickly and explained to me what was happening and took care of it. So far, it's been working fine. The tech replaced something down in the freezer unit and defrosted all the frost that had built up in a frost-free freezer. He was very professional and I’m very pleased.

    The oven didn't shut properly, so the techs replaced the gasket and the hinges. They've come out many times over the years, but hopefully this one will work. We also had a claim on our shower and our service provider said that nothing is covered, even if we have to get all new drains. So we have to call AHS about that. Other than that, they've been pretty good.

    American Home Shield let me know that a request had been submitted to a tech and that I would hear from that tech. A day or so later, I got a phone call from the company that represented the tech dispatched, to let me know that it had been assigned and it would be here within another couple of days. And the tech called me the day before he arrived to confirm his appointment, and called me four or five hours in advance of his arrival to confirm his estimated time of arrival. He showed up a couple of days after submitting the claim, and determined what the problem was. There was an error code that indicated there was a water sensor Issue. He determined what the issues were, ordered the parts, came back five days later, and repaired it.

    American Home Shield seems to do what they say, except for one little issue. For some reason, when there is an emergency, it takes a week or longer to get things done. We had a hot water heater issue and it took three days to get somebody out here. They say they have things on an emergency basis, but then when the emergency actually occurs, no. Other than that, I have no problems with customer service. I like the fact that they're straightforward and honest. Also, in the summertime, I get a free AC service and in the wintertime, I get the components for my heater checked out. We've recommended AHS to a couple of people already.

    A contractor came on a Friday and said my water heater that started leaking needed to be replaced. They told me they had to order the water heater then they would be back the following Wednesday. They came out Monday and replaced the water heater. I was happy with them.

    The first few times that I needed to call American Home Shield, they kept hooking me up with a company to do the work that was out of Houston which is three or four hours away. My air conditioning unit was completely out. They kept canceling my call, and no one ever let me know it was canceled. I was almost ready to cancel American Home Shield. I was not happy with them at all. I kept going back and forth with them. It took over a week and it was during the heatwave here in Texas. I had a year old great-granddaughter who just had surgery and was in a body cast. Because it was taking so long, I ended up paying outside service to come and do the work. I got the permission to use an outside company and get reimbursed. I was upset that it cost me less to do it through another company than what my deductible would have been which is $125.

    When my washer broke, I called American Home Shield, and they sent out a company called Asset Appliance. I had dealings with them in the past, and they're a shady, garbage company. You can see just by looking at the reviews. Horrible ratings on Google. I called American Home Shield executive support, ‘cause I had their number still, and talked to a person over there. They said that they would have someone come out, a secondary opinion, then Knockout Appliance came. The guy was here for half an hour, looked at the machine and said, “Yup, this is normal wear and tear. We can replace the bearing, but the likeliness of it failing again, highly likely. And the cost to replace the bearing is probably as much as buying a new washer.” So, he recommended a replacement. American Home Shield, the next day, sent me a link to request a replacement. It's a really good process. Overall, I was very happy.

    The only thing I was unhappy about is Asset Appliance is still one of their repair shops. When Knockout Appliance came to my house, the guy asked if it was for a secondary opinion. I said, “Yeah, it actually is.” He said, “Let me guess. Asset Appliance came out?” I said, “Yeah. How did you know?” He said, “We get all of their secondary requests.” He said, “Asset Appliance, they try to disqualify repairs to keep them in good standing with American Home Shield. ‘Cause when you put in a request for a replacement, it goes against you. But we want to take care of our customers.” That's a little unfair. Asset Appliance, a year earlier, came out and worked on a dishwasher five different times. I ended up having to get corporate involved. They replaced every single part on the dishwasher, and it still wasn't working. I have them blocked on my account now, so AHS won't send them out anymore.

    I'm really happy with American Home Shield. It's unfortunate, though, every time it seems like I got to call executive support, get someone in the United States, and they fix it immediately. If you call the normal customer service number for AHS, nothing against that, but you get outsourced customer service and they don't quite understand you. They have no power either.

    I had to do a bit of legwork, but ultimately, AHS just bought me a $1,000 washer that I paid $50 a month for a warranty. I’d recommend them and also give people their executive support customer service number. Some of their third-party contractors are good, like Knockout Appliance, and some of them are like Asset Appliance. They're probably the same company as Total Appliance and just changed their name. Those are the two companies I've had issues with in the past three years I've had a warranties with American Home Shield.

    My refrigerator wasn't refrigerating. So, I submitted a claim with AHS and it was a weekend, so I wasn't expecting to see anyone even after I called. But the tech came on Saturday. He diagnosed the problem quickly and said that the compressor wasn't working. Then he said that he was going to give the diagnosis to American Home Shield and they would decide whether to replace the part or to replace the refrigerator. On Monday morning, he was there with the part and replaced it. And my refrigerator is happy as a clam, and so was I. He was excellent. I like AHS because when I call, as long as it’s on my gold policy, whatever it is, they send someone straightaway.

    We looked at American Home Shield's policies and determined that they had good ones. They're a good company. The plumber took the time to point out where the problem was. He didn't have the piece in his van, so he ran out to a hardware store and returned to install a new pressure regulating valve. It's much better now.

    We had two separate issues. One is we had hard water and the faucets in the master bathroom had been a bit clogged with calcium. The plumber pointed that out, told us how to fix it. That was something that requires a soak, so he didn't do that himself but he made sure we knew exactly what to do. And he checked the pressure regulating valve and saw that too, was not only clogged, but stuck, which is why we were experiencing such a dramatic loss of water pressure. When he fixed that, he tested and made sure the water pressure was back to within regulation and let us test everything and make sure that the rest of the house was better, even though the master bathroom still needed some work. But we were able to soak everything, and everything worked properly by that evening.

It keeps making that popping noise in the breaker and it's scaring my kids. I need AHS to send another type of electrician.

But the company has changed a bit.

    Also, it was in the middle of the winter and it wouldn't shut off. It was almost too much heat. I waited three weeks for them to find somebody to come out. And then, the contractor came out from way up north. I never had that issue before. They need to have more available service people for the area. But Sears has been very good. They came out for the microwave, which started making noise, and they had to replace some of the major computer parts inside it. They were slow because there was waiting for approval and it took about a good month. Then, the part came in damaged so they had to redo it.

    Two burners on the range quit working. I used AHS's online system for the first time and it worked very well. Working with the techs was good. Sometimes, keeping AHS's service is questionable. Their offerings say, "If something breaks down, we'll replace it." But usually, they give us a settlement instead because we didn't like the replacement they were going to offer. They need to work on that. Also, what is a bit excessive or abusive is that whenever I have to replace something new that has an interface like ductwork, the modification part is a lot of money. I had a furnace done years ago and I thought I got screwed.

    The other time I thought I got screwed was when we had the air conditioner go out. The original air conditioner on that unit was Freon and that stuff has been banned by EPA. It's no longer manufactured so they had to trade the original air conditioner for new technology. Because of that, they hedged their bet on their guarantee too. I had to pay over a couple of grand because of the technology change. Other than that, sometimes when my claim is more clear cut, all I really have to pay for is the deductible and I'm happy.

The last time I called them, I was on with their person and she was very rude to me. She asked, "Is there anything else we can do for you?" I said, "No, thank you." She said, "Goodbye," but she didn't hang up on me. I said, "Aren't you gonna hang up on me to send me the survey?" She just huffed at me, left me on mute for the next 25 minutes trying to avoid allowing me to go to the survey then hung up on me allowing me to go to the survey. She knew she wasn't doing a good job. She didn't want to let me go to the survey. That's a grimy way to do business.

    On Thursday, the 3rd, I scheduled the maintenance heating repair with American Home Shield. It was vendored out to Comfort Zone in North Florida. The night before they were supposed to come out, the unit was completely leaking. So, I called American Home Shield and I said, “Oh, my gosh. I have to cancel the heating maintenance and file a claim. There's a bunch of water coming out into the ceiling underneath. I don't know what to do.” They said okay and at that point, it wasn't leaking through the ceiling. It was just in the vent underneath, but the vent was capturing all the water.

    They came out promptly the next day and because they were already scheduled for the heat maintenance, they just switched it over to a claim now to fix an issue. The tech said, “Yep. I got it fixed. It was a clog in your tray.” I said, “A clog in my tray? I just did a bunch of maintenance on this. This isn't clogged. All the things that would show me it's clogged are completely clear. What do you mean?” He said, “Oh, well, you wouldn't have known. It's in the back by this and that. But I cleared it out and it's good to go.” He turned it back on and left. We went out of town that weekend, and I came back to water pouring through my ceiling. It started leaking again. That was Sunday night so I promptly called both American Home Shield and Comfort Zone and said, “You guys need to get back out here. There's water dumping through my ceiling. I don't know what you guys did, but it's 10 times worse. Please come out here and fix.”

    American Home Shield issued a recall. That was on Monday morning at 6:30. Comfort Zone did not get out here until 9:00 on Tuesday morning, and that was after I had to call them three more times. Last Tuesday, the tech got here and at that point, because I had to call so many times, I requested that a supervisor be on the line and that I need to be talking to a supervisor when they were here because I was wondering, “What's going on? Why are you guys aren't jumping at this? You guys were the last ones to touch it, and now there's a bunch of water damage.”

    He was supposed to be here at 8:00 a.m., but he got here at 9:00 something in the morning. I work from home. I was on a work call when they got here. My brother let him in. I told my brother, “Tell him I'll be right out in just a minute. I'm just wrapping up my work call.” It couldn't have been more than seven minutes. I promptly hung up, jumped off, went out, and said, “Oh, hey. Where is he?” My brother said, “He's already left.” So I immediately called Comfort Zone directly, and said, “Hey, you were supposed to have a supervisor call me when this man was here. And he was supposed to have a supervisor on the phone. And he never even talked to the homeowner. My brother's not the homeowner. I am. What gives? This is not okay.”

    From that point, they have not been back out here. I had to file a claim with my homeowner's insurance for the leak, and there is mold. We were displaced from our home for a week. We're still displaced from our home. We're here right now today because the temperature has dropped enough that we don't need the AC or the heater for the time being. However, this all happened last week. We were in the path of Hurricane Nicole, so we're looking at 90 degree weather with 95% humidity. So, mold has been growing. We couldn't run the AC so we couldn't comfortably be here. I have made call after call and could not get Comfort Zone. This manager named Chris was supposed to reach out to me. I still have yet to receive a call from him. He finally texted me on Friday and said he was waiting for American Home Shield to authorize the work.

    I said, “That's funny because they authorized it on Tuesday and they're waiting for you to call me.” He was like, “Well, this is with the contractor representative. It's nothing you could ask them to do.” I said, “They've approved it.” In the middle of all that, I reached out to American Home Shield multiple times to get updates on what was going on, and what can they do. I was eligible for a second opinion at that time, but no one explained if I took the offer on that, that Comfort Zone would no longer be reaching back. So, I reached out to American Home Shield a number of times, asking, “What's going on? What's going on?” It was over 24 hours before I finally got the escalation team to call me back, and about 20 minutes into the call, after asking that same question 10 times, finally he was like, “Oh, well, Comfort Zone’s not gonna call you back. You asked for a second opinion.”

    So I said, “Okay. Well, then forget it.” He was like “So do you still want a second opinion?” I said, “I want somebody out here. So if I have to cancel the second opinion so that Comfort Zone will jump back onto it, do that then. But I need somebody out here.” So, that was canceled on Wednesday. Friday rolls around and I still haven't heard from Comfort Zone at that point. So even though we canceled and hoped that they would jump back onto it, they didn't. I got a knock on my door Friday morning, and it was Beaches Air Conditioning. I thought AHS had sent them out, so I was like, “Okay, yeah. Come on in. Diagnose.”

    That was the second opinion and they never got the memo that it was canceled, but they showed up and they diagnosed it, and they said, “Yeah. This thing needs to come out.” They just validated everything that the other company had. There was a fried coil in there, and there was no way they didn't see this when he was originally here on Thursday. The manager of Comfort Zone even said on the phone, “I don't know why he didn't fix it on Thursday. He must have thought we wouldn't have had to get called back out here so soon.” I'm very dissatisfied.

    I had to use American Home Shield recently for an AC issue. Whenever it would turn on and then it would cool the house and then shut down, the outside unit would make this really loud, jerking noise. But when the guy came out, we couldn't duplicate the jerking noise. So he said to just keep an eye on it and he also changed out a part. He was super nice and helpful. Overall, it was visually easy to submit a claim to American Home Shield. Then within less than a week, I was contacted and somebody came out. So the ease of putting in a request and then having somebody come out within a week is pretty nice. It was extremely professional. Also, it was easy to navigate through the portal. So it was really good.

    My refrigerator stopped working. The engine ran but there was no cooling and everything defrosted in it. The techs came out and looked at the problem. There was $1,100 in parts that needed to be ordered and that took a couple of weeks to get here, so I was living out of a mini fridge for that timeframe, which was a major inconvenience. But other than that, the repair went fine.

    My refrigerator went out, and I had to get it serviced. I was going through Sears, and they came and they serviced my refrigerator and said, "If you have this warranty, you won't have to pay for this." So, I started doing some research to find out which was the best, financially, what I could gain, and what company has the best coverage and so, I ended up going with American Home Shield. Having a home warranty is peace of mind when something goes out. You gotta pay the deductible, and you know that it's gonna get fixed, or if it's not gonna get fixed, it'll get replaced or repaired.

    AHS sent A&M for a dryer. The heating element went out. They were out within 24 hours, and they were one of the best services that I've had so far. A young gentleman came in, he went straight to where it was, took it apart, changed the filament, and replaced it back. He was very thorough and very professional. In the past, I haven't always been really happy with AHS, but the last two companies that came out, A&M and J&S, had made it better.

    My sink was stopping up and my toilet was leaking. I went online and answered the questions in regard to a service call. American Home Shield's site was pretty easy to use. I just clicked on a couple of buttons, described the problem and then they checked my contract to see if it fits. Then they asked for payment information for the service fee that they have, and everything else was done. They gave me the company's name and phone number and said someone would contact me before they would come out. Someone gave me a call, set up the appointment, and then came out to the house. They had excellent service, and they went beyond just saying, “Oh, we're gonna fix this little thing, whatever, for the toilet to stop running, leaky, and all that.” Once they did the one thing, they made sure that everything else was okay and that I wouldn't have to call back.

    With any kind of minor issues or even some major issues, AHS had people come out and they've been very good. I’d recommend it to others. I’ve told people who were buying homes, “You should get this. You never know what's going to happen and you should definitely get it.'' It was a great experience overall. I didn't have to worry about the people coming into my house. They were very courteous.

He was a very personal guy and made the corrections we needed. He did do good work. However, the wiring structure might need someone to do some diagnostic on the entire thing here, so we can get it all squared away before we sell the house.
