    AHS is good as far as following up. The website is good, too. When you got a problem, you just put it in there and they'll get back to you with the vendor that would be coming out to see you. The handle of the oven busted. I put in the claim for a new handle and that was good. They let me know what was going on. The guy came out here and was very friendly, and he put it on and it was perfect. However, my air conditioner was making noise. They wouldn't repair the noise because it was working, and I didn't like that. There's nothing I can do about it with them.

    Back in March, my AC went down. I went through AHS and they sent an AC company. My AC worked for three to four weeks until it went down again. It started making some weird noises. I called to see if AHS could send them again, but they couldn't. Their warranty is only one month for the company. I had to do my claim again a few weeks ago and Doctor Cool came. They've gone already a few times to my house, and every time they go, they always do an amazing job.

    My washer is not draining water. So the contractor came and tried to fix it once but it is still doing the same thing. So they ordered another part and we are waiting for that part to come. But the tech was good. He was very communicative. I like American Home Shield a lot. When my oven and my dishwasher weren't working, they fixed them very nicely and quick.

    I requested for someone to come check my plumbing. My toilet seemed to be leaking and in the same bathroom, the sink was leaking down in the cabinet part. AHS sent someone out, which was the guy from Rockwell. He fixed the pipes and the toilet and he also put a new faucet on. Everything is fine.

    The AC wasn’t cooling and it was freezing from the outside. The gentleman from AAA All Brands Appliances called and asked what the problem was. He was very concerned because he said he could come right away but I wasn’t home. He said he was gonna call me back and redo his schedule so he could come when I was available. Sure enough, he said he could come such and such time, and he did. He had a lot of compassion about what was going on for me and whatever I asked him to do, he did it. So, I was thankful for that. All I needed was Freon and I was all done. He was good.

    I have had three problems so far. One was my water heater went and two times with my air conditioner. American Home Shield had to change one. The first time with the air, the tech had to change something on the outside and then he said I would be cool enough in a minute. And sure enough, I was. Then, AHS called and asked how everything was. They made sure everything was going good. So, I like that too. I would recommend people to get on AHS’ plan ASAP.

    The faucet in my bathroom was clogged up and I couldn't work it. I couldn't make the shower work. I had tried to disconnect it but it was all stuck. When a tech came in, I didn't think he would be able to do it right away but he did. He changed it out and it’s perfect. This claim was handled wonderfully. American Home Shield is excellent and they do things right away. I had a problem with them the first time I tried to have that faucet taken care of because the plumbing company never showed up and would never call me back. I told American Home Shield this and they called them, too. Apparently, they never called back. That was back in February.

    I have a continuous claim for my air conditioning unit. It never got fixed every time the service people came out. One service man put the fan in backwards. When the other guy came because it still wasn't working, he notified me that it was put backwards. The air conditioning unit never got fixed and they're trying to say it was due to the weather. The weather doesn't put the air conditioner fan backwards. I was told the unit had to be replaced but American Home Shield refused to replace it. They said it was due to damage. My experience with American Home Shield has been very poor and I'm not satisfied at all. If they do a project, they should finish it.

    For my recent claim with AHS, my dishwasher was acting up and I contacted them and they sent out Sears. They were the best I’ve had, so far. They were in contact with me for a couple of days prior, called me first, and then texted me. I would recommend AHS. I've had them for 10 years now. I've only had one incident with AHS where I wasn't satisfied with the folks that they sent. But other than that, I'm satisfied. I wouldn't be with them as long as I had.

    Our dishwasher and washing machine weren't working, and the technicians that did the job were nice and good. The washer was fixed, but for the dishwasher, I was told someone will be contacting me about receiving a new one ‘cause they don't make the parts anymore. Someone should have contacted me two weeks ago, but I'm still waiting for them to call me back. Everything was good, though, and I'm satisfied. Overall, having American Home Shield is good if something is broken. It's better than paying a whole price for something.

    I'm not too fond of American Home Shield’s service. I called to have my central air conditioner looked at because it wasn't working and when the people came out, they said a part was bad. Then, they had to put the refrigerant in it. The warranty only covered $10 of refrigerant and it cost me $475. I will be canceling it because it was absolutely ridiculous that they only paid $10 of refrigerant.

    The representative was wonderful, and the visit went great. I needed to get my oven and dishwasher replaced. They're so old that they can't repair it so they recommended replacement. American Home Shield is waiting on us to select a dishwasher. On the other hand, we've been waiting for someone to come and look at our air conditioner since May 18th. The technician was scheduled to come out, and he said that he was having car trouble. Nobody has come out at all, and it's been 108 degrees and I have an infant. American Home Shield said that they're working on getting somebody to come out and they've left the place messages, but they are refusing to reassign it to a different company. I would never recommend this even to my worst enemy.

    My sister had this big air conditioning problem. She told us that she had American Home Shield and she walked us through the process of calling them and explaining what happened. Techs came out and were able to take care of what would have been a very expensive fix for her for whatever her monthly had been and the deductible for the repair.

    On a whim, I signed up with American Home Shield and it was very reasonably priced. I did it because of my sister. When I explained the value of the home warranty to my husband, he said, “That’s one on my side of the list. Just go and get it if it's inexpensive.” Thank God I signed up because they fixed our oven. When we did the oven, it might have been a $1,500 fix because it was a software issue. My husband said, “It’s worth its weight in gold."

    They had fixed the air conditioning unit three times too. The techs were fantastic. They were on time and they identified the problem in minutes. All of the air conditioning units in this house are the big brand Carrier. It seems that that is a very popular unit. This summer alone, it's been so hot and two of the units stopped working. The issue was the same part both times. The techs weren’t even here 30 minutes before both units were repaired. My mom's a senior and she lives with me. I have a dog too. My husband and I could deal with AC situation, but the dog and my mother cannot.

    It's so convenient to have American Home Shield and let someone else worry about things. They send the right technician. I like technology with this company. I go online and open my request. I'm assigned to someone in seconds. By the next day, someone's calling me to schedule the appointment then I get those text messages about when they're on the way and who's coming. The issue is taken care of and I don't have to worry. I don't have to follow up either. I'm very pleased with the whole experience. I'm more than satisfied.

    I've been with AHS since 2019 and one of the things I really like is I don't have to figure out who to call. They call the appropriate people and I've had very good luck with the contractors that have come. The garbage disposal was leaking and the tech from Plumb Genius knew what to do. He said I need a new disposal and he had multiple replacements in his vehicle, which I thought was amazing. He was an awesome and very nice young man. It was so fast. Also, I filed an air conditioning claim and it took a little while to get a call back once they got the work order. But it's that time of year we've got 100-degree weather and I knew that it would be a little bit slow. I'm very happy with AHS's service and enjoy that they locate the people I need.

    The service of AHS has been good. My only complaint was that we scheduled an air conditioner tune-up and evaluation. While the vendor was here doing that, they identified an additional problem with the system that wasn't covered under the tune-up. When I went to schedule the next ticket to take care of that, American Home Shield didn't have the same vendor contracted for that type of service. A completely new vendor has to come out and redo the evaluation and perform the service that way.

    It'll be fine, 'cause it'll work out and there's really no cost difference to me. But it's annoying because while they were here, they took full documentation of what was wrong and what the part numbers were. They were ready to perform the service. They just didn't have authorization. Now, someone else has to go through that whole process again. If AHS is going to offer a service for tuning up air conditioners, offer it through a vendor that you have a contract for them to also repair them. But everything else has been great with AHS.

    American Home Shield replaced the dishwasher and a part in a microwave. They also did Freon in the air conditioner. Then here in Florida, they changed capacitors in the air conditioner almost every summer. The young lady that came out was efficient and wonderful. She was detailed in her work. She was also funny. She came with her own can of bug spray because she knew she had to get in the attic. It was just the funniest thing. She was doing the best she could do. If I could get her all the time to come do something around my house, I would love it.

    As soon as I make a phone call to American Home Shield, all I gotta do is wait for a return call where it's going to give me my date and time. Then that person is gonna call me with a window. So for me, with a military background, I love the process because I am proactive and it's not a reactive thing for me. I love it because once you're given that date and time group, you already know that the contractor is going to be there. So you don't even stress about it. Also, being retired and living on a fixed income, American Home Shield is an ideal thing to possess because it is not a big bill and it can save you from a big bill when you are on a fixed income.

    American Home Shield was a good deal with what they cover. So far, we've had good luck with it. I've had them on another house then I decided to get them on my new home. My wife then added her three properties. Even though you pay the monthly fee and the $75, sometimes it's paid off. It's been an advantage to some degree. A couple of the contractors lately screwed up. But the jobs are getting done. It just takes some time and frustration with a couple of them.

    I do claims online and the website works well. I had a credit card loaded one time then all of a sudden, it didn't recognize it. But I realized it was my mistake. Other than that, it's pretty easy. You can get a claim in there in less than five minutes. I first get the thing from American Home Shield then I will get either a text or an email from a contractor notifying me to call them to schedule. One contractor came out and they replaced two faucets. Their guy ordered them and when those arrived, he came back out and installed them. It took two trips.

    I never, ever do this, but I have had such a bad experience, I feel the need to. I had my water heater go out so I contacted AHS to service it. The unit was old and the part that went bad was no longer made, so the unit had to be replaced. The contractor hired came quickly and that's where the good experiences ended...

    Over the next four or five days, I was calling between the contractor and AHS, each one pointing the finger at the other as to why there had been zero progression. The only thing American Home Shield was willing to do was to take an authorization from me to cover $150 in uncovered expenses and to offer me a cash-out option so that I could handle the replacement myself! I repeatedly asked what unit would be replacing mine and they would not give me that information.

    Finally, two weeks to the day that I requested service, the water heater was ordered and a service date set for three days later. I received a call from the contractor at 9:30 that morning stating the unit had not arrived and so they would not be able to go forward with the install. I had taken a day off of work. They stated it would be in the next day, so I took yet another day off of work to be there. The next day came and around 9 am, the contractor called again stating that the wrong water heater had been ordered and blamed AHS for the issue. Remember that I had repeatedly asked what unit would be replacing mine.

    Contacting AHS several times that day, they stated that indeed the wrong unit had been ordered and blamed the contractor. They stated that another had been ordered the previous day and that it would be there the same day. When I questioned how that was possible when they just discovered it was the wrong unit 15 minutes prior, they changed their answer and said that it was in process of being ordered. When I pressed further for information, I was told that it had been ordered during our conversation. When I attempted to clarify that, they again told me that they were still reviewing the information and that the unit had NOT been ordered.

    At this point, I was clearly upset and asked to speak to a supervisor from within AHS. I was told to hold and they would see if one was available. After waiting 15 minutes, I was hung up on. Contacting AHS back, I was told that they were not able/allowed to transfer me to a supervisor, but that one would call me back within 48 hours!!! The next day, the supervisor called me back. Keep in mind that this is a call center that AHS outsources from the Philippines. I asked why an AHS employee had not called and they told me that there was no one within AHS who could call because they did not have managers!?!?

    The supervisor spent the next 20 minutes pandering to me while half-listening to my story. He wanted to take no responsibility for their actions or bad information they had given me. He could provide no information as to where we were in the process, when it might be approved, and stated they could not call me once the water heater had actually been ordered. At this point it has been three weeks and no idea when the water heater will be ordered, arrive, or be replaced. When you outsource customer service, it is no longer customer service, it is information services because they have no authority and no skin in the game. Just an awful experience.

    The biggest benefit of having a home warranty is knowing that if something breaks down, we can get it fixed. That gives me peace of mind. We just have to pay the deductible and maybe something extra for something that's not covered. They have relatively good customer service and they usually take care of my needs quickly. American Home Shield has reliable people and they pretty much come on time.

    We used the home warranty when our unit was turning on but it was blowing hot air. A tech came out on a Friday. They couldn't get the part that he needed but he somehow found a part. The tech was excellent and he went above and beyond. He initially said he would probably be back the following week but he knew my husband and I are older people. He figured, “Let me see what I can do.” He went somewhere, got the correct part, and he installed it on a Saturday morning. That took him maybe an hour. We were cool from then on. I was extremely pleased.

    The hot water heater went out and Stewart Plumbing came out and replaced it. They located the hot water heater that matched up and told us that we needed a new pan underneath the hot water heater. They brought a new pan and put it under it. We paid extra for that but they installed everything and had it all done in less than a week. A friend asked yesterday about American Home Shield and we told them it's a great deal. You're paying for your repairs on a monthly basis instead of all at once. And it's a great thing. The only downside is sometimes they're a little slow getting everything done. They did the hot water heater in a week. We've had other appliances go out and by the time they do their troubleshooting, get back with AHS, and they get back and tell the contractor what they want done, it takes too long sometimes. We had an air conditioning go out last summer and it was two weeks before they got it going. But they did get it going.

    5/23/22 5/23/21 6/2020. I summitted a claim because my AC wasn't working properly. After each request the contractors assured me it was fixed. Since June of 2020 I've been paying American Home Shield Contractors for Freon to refill my AC unit only for it to leak out within 12 months. I've asked AHS reps could they send a contractor out after the job is finish to check the Freon levels to make sure it's not leaking. They told me no it has to be broken. Over the last 2 years alone I've spent over 1k in Freon for a leak that was never repaired. AHS has offer me no compensation for their contractors failing to fix the problem. Not even the $10 off per pound offered by the company because it's over 200$. I made this same request 2020 and 2021 and and the total was over 200$ both times now all of a sudden it's changed. They only guarantee the repairs for 3 months which it takes over 3 months for the Freon to leak out.

    I have a 7 pound tank. I requested that only 3 pounds be put in because of this reoccurring issue. The AHS rep that I talked to 6/9/22 said no, then told me I had to pay for the service before the contactor comes out to complete the service. This is robbery!!! No one should have to pay for Freon every year with absolutely no solution to the problem other than to repay to get it fix. I currently have a request open for the same issue #**. I asked the AHS rep to give me a breakdown of the bill and how much it cost for the Freon they told me it's 80$ a pound without the 10$ discount which would bring make the cost of the Freon $560.00 but they are charging me $704.00. I'm confused as to why I'm being charged 100$ a pound. (I paid for Freon for the last 2 years!!!) Not mention I've taken off of work only for their contractor to be a no call no show.

    I had a concern with my A/C unit and decided to utilize my home warranty rather than contact my regular A/C company. I waited a week for an appointment with their vendor, Air Doctor A/C & Heating, despite having my own preferred company. The technician didn't really seem bothered by my concerns, but did let me know I needed insulation and the system was overcharged, so he needed to take refrigerant off the system. While this sounded strange to me as my A/C had its 6-month check less than 3 months prior, I agreed. A huge mistake.

    Do not trust the technicians at Air Doctor A/C & Heating. Within an hour of the technician leaving, I noticed my A/C was actually in worse shape. I contacted American Home Shield to let them know of the mistake of their vendor and also set up an appointment with my trusted company the following day. I asked for a refund of the service fee for the error and they refused because of their policies and procedures, so I asked them to send out another vendor to correct the mistake. They couldn't guarantee another vendor prior to my scheduled appointment and it could have taken days for them to satisfy their policies and procedures to get a second opinion.

    Meanwhile, my family and pets were in an extremely uncomfortable and somewhat unsafe home due to the heat in Florida because of their mistake. I expressed my dissatisfaction and asked to have my vendor approved since they couldn't correct the mistake in a timely fashion. They again refused because of their policies and procedures. My trusted provider fixed the damage done and I paid out of pocket. When I called to ask again if they would do anything to rectify their mistake, they still had no response. I opted to cancel my contract and the supposedly non-refundable service fee was immediately offered to try to retain me as a customer.

    At this point, I would never do business with a company that treats customers in such an atrocious manner, so it was too little too late. But apparently, policies and procedures go out the window when it suits them, but not when it is in the best interests of their customers when they make a mistake. I will likely have to go through arbitration if I would like to be reimbursed for their mistake. Try to avoid this warranty company at all costs if you have any other options.

She was talking down to me and acting like I was stupid for doing that. But everybody else I've dealt with at Knock Out Pools has been outstanding.

He left a part outside the unit and we didn't know what it was. AHS got me a second visit and I got a more professional guy. He fixed it the same day. He was friendly and answered my questions. AHS help us out. The coverage is good as well as the customer service that they have. They fix everything quick. The only thing is they keep sending me different types of companies.

    American Home Shield has been horrible. When I had a claim dealing with electrical work, the contractor didn't want to do the work. They told American Home Shield it was some type of wear and tear issue so they got out of doing the work, but they could bill for that 100 service fee. I also had someone come out to deal with a built-in microwave. It took them three months to get that resolved.

    In the last situation that we filed an incident for the AC unit, we had two contractors come out. The first was an AC rep indicated that there was not enough electrical current going to the unit and that was causing the issue. He recommended that an electrician get involved. Then American Home Shield sent out an electrician. That person indicated that in order for them to do the work as far as replacing the breaker box to the unit, we would have to pay some additional money out of pocket to remove paneling from the house so they can gain access to it. Long story short, we ended up paying out of pocket for another HVAC professional to come out and look at it for a second opinion. The whole issue was resolved by them just resetting the breaker box.

    The two contractors through American Home Shield misdiagnosed the issue. Luckily, we did not have someone do the necessary work that the last technician suggested because that would have been more out of pocket and it would have been unnecessary. We're very dissatisfied with the experience with American Home Shield.

    They're responsive and they communicate well. Their customer support is good. Sometimes, the process takes a week. But sometimes, they just gotta wait for parts. I did a claim for the dryer and the technician that came out was good. He tried to repair it three times. He got parts three times and tore it apart but it just would not work. It was one of those things that weren't repairable. So I bought a new dryer and American Home Shield is supposed to refund it. I’ve turned in my receipt and the refund is supposed to be in progress.

    I used American Home Shield for the replacement of a hot water heater. I still had to pay some out of pocket, but it was nice to have. I called and made the claim. But every time I'm calling in a claim, I get people who don't understand English. So you're calling, getting feedback and you can understand me fine, but I have a hard time making the claim every time. I had to speak to five people. I said my water heater was pouring water out of the side of the water heater and I have a bucket catching it. The rep could never understand what the water heater was. It was very frustrating. Then they finally got a manager on who could understand me a little bit better and got a plumber out there.

    When the plumber came, he was great. He was a nice guy. But it was a company out of Mobile, and I live in Louisiana. So that was weird for me. The water heater had to be changed out and it had to be brought up to code. So I had to pay that portion of it because American Home Shield refused to pay that, which I get it. As a homeowner, that's my responsibility. But it was really hard to make a claim with American Home Shield. But the technicians that they send out are pretty great people for the most part.

    I wasn't able to be home when the contractor came for the AC. But my wife was home and there was a miscommunication with the contractor. My wife called me. So I explained to the tech. He said that I needed something replaced. So they were gonna go through American Home Shield to approve it. When I got home, my downstairs AC wasn't working and it was the AC upstairs that the person was supposed to be there for. I called the contractor and spoke to the customer service person. They connected me with the tech that came out. He said he didn't touch the downstairs. He said it was just coincidence. But what he did was turn off my downstairs unit while he was working and forgot to turn it back on. I figured that out by myself.

    American Home Shield approved the compressor and all I had to pay for was the refrigerant. I made sure I was home when the people came out. The lead came in and apologized for the previous service. But I didn't need a compressor. I just needed the coils cleaned. They did that and everything was working. I double checked and I thanked them for their honesty and apologizing for the previous tech. So ultimately, my experience turned out good because I didn't have to pay extra. Overall, it's been an easy experience to go online and request service from American Home Shield. The contractors call you right away to schedule service.

    The good thing about American Home Shield is what is covered is actually covered. Versus you call in and the appliance or whatever is down and they say, “Oh, this certain part can't be covered. You'd have to pay.“ Also, the contractor is so good. Like just the recent one that came in, they got your heads up for our call, and we called in and they got us in.

    I had an air conditioning unit that was not functioning. Techs came out and they told me that since it has an old type of Freon in it, it needed to be replaced. They also told me that it's not repairable. American Home Shield advertised that if something's broken, they'll replace it. But that is not true. Looking at my contract, it says that they'll pay up to $1,500 for a new air conditioning unit. The out-of-pocket is $3,000. I called the contractor and what they're covering is about $673 in my lifetime. They were telling me that the air conditioning unit that they're going to purchase for me is $583. I don't understand how it can possibly cost $3,000 to install a $586 air conditioning. Where in the world you could possibly purchase such a thing? They really couldn't give me a breakdown of the out-of-pocket.

    If I'm out 3,000, they should be out the first 1,500. And the contractor, Jar Electric, tried to upsell me a new system. They also said by replacing the air conditioning unit, I would need a new furnace and there was no warranty on the new furnace. The rep couldn't tell me what type of furnace I was paying $3,000 for. I decided to take the cash option. Once I get that, I will cancel with American Home Shield and file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

    Our air conditioner keeps flipping the breaker. It's not operating. Frog Pro came two days after I put in the request. The guy was there for less than five minutes. He didn’t touch it. He asked me to flip the breaker and try turning it on, and it flipped back. He said, “Yeah, it flipped the breaker. You probably need a new compressor or need to replace. I’ll have the office get back to you.” But I never heard from them again.

    I’ve tried calling them multiple times, every day. One time, I got ahold of them about a week after that. They went ahead and they gave me quotes, 900 and something dollars to replace the compressor and $3,200 to just replace the whole air conditioner. I was confused about those amounts, because they were a bit higher than we expected. I called AHS and they said they've never heard of those numbers. They've never even heard of the repair. They kept telling us on the phone that they don't know, that they'll keep putting in a request for Frog Pro to ask them to submit their quote. They said, “You can also try calling Frog Pro.” My wife tried calling them five times today and she got hung up on all five times. At this point, we’ve gone two weeks without air conditioning.

I work from home and the person texted me, and he was like, “I’ll be there at 10:00 am.” I told my boss, “I might have to get off the phone for a little while because the guy is coming to fix my AC.” But then he wasn’t here until 10:45.

    My most recent experience was for a leak in the dishwasher that North MS Appliance Repair came out for and it worked real well.

We had to buy a part that AHS did not cover, which was the insulation that had turned moldy. But over 30 years with AHS and the one big problem is a problem every time. If they require us to get a contractor because they cannot find one, they never pay the claims. They always find an excuse, even though we go back and show them where we got authorization.

    The last time this happened was with a claim for the ceiling fan. They could not find a contractor to repair it, we found one, and we were getting authorization for him to repair it. The authorization department did not answer their phone even though he called them several times. We gave him the number for the general call to set up the appointments. They gave him the authorization to go ahead and do it. But once he had finished and filed the proper forms, they denied it because we talked to the wrong department that gave him authorization. We went on with it for five months. Never accept their authorization for you to find a contractor.

I just go on there and click “request service.” And there's a little drop-down list of which items I might need, and what's going on, just a couple of words, or a sentence or two and boom, send it. And when I had to contact American Home Shield because it was still acting up, I used their chat service. There was a chat person there that walked me through the steps and, “No, we're gonna send out another person to check it out and make a recommendation on what needs to be done.”

    The AC unit was working, but not very well. So, the contractor came out and cleaned up the outside unit, and checked things out. And they've had to come out a second time because it was working great but it stopped again. Now they detected that there's something more serious going on with the system. There's a little valve that shuts off, so that it stops cooling. It goes into heating mode, which isn't good for summer. Now, they're going to actually fix that. I'm still waiting to hear from that because according to the technician that was here, this is going to require them to have a special trailer. They have to pump out all the Freon. It's almost like tearing down a part of the unit and rebuilding it. But having AHS is peace of mind because knowing that if something does happen to an appliance, air conditioning or the heat, that you have help that there if you need it.

    American Home Shield has been helpful. I currently have a claim going on right now. The sink was leaking from both sides. The guy who came fixed one side, and then he couldn’t find the leak on the other side. It was leaking later that night when I was cooking dinner. So, they’re supposed to come back today. They gave me a window between 12:00 and 5:00.

    We've used American Home Shield a lot. It's a lot of peace of mind having the warranty. All the stuff that's happened to us since we've moved in has been a lot and without the home warranty, I don't know how much money we would have spent. One of our first claims was for the refrigerator that was leaking, and a guy came out about three times. Then they sent a different guy who completely fixed it right away on the first try. We also had a claim for the furnace. It took a really long time for it to get put in. We ordered it in August, and it didn’t get put in until the end of November. We have a small baby, and it was really cold for the baby. Besides that, it's been great. It’s been a lifesaver to have the warranty.

    My experience with AHS has been seamless in the sense that I'm able to get in contact doing the requests online and then the contractor contacts me with their availability and what time that they would be responding. At that point, the company is identifying what's covered and what's not covered based on the issue with the appliance. My dryer wasn’t working and I filed a claim through the website. They sent a notification of the date and time that the contractor would be here. The tech from Sanders Appliance and Repair came out and he was great.

    I had some work done on my AC unit. It was throwing out lukewarm air. American Home Shield's rep was informative. She took the information and was thorough. AHS gave me the contractor's name. I googled them. I had to look up their reviews to make sure the reviews were okay. Because here lately, AHS has been giving bottom-of-the-line vendors, which I'm not happy with.

    The people that came out were very knowledgeable. The guy was funny. He went far and beyond and he fixed it. He came to our home a little late, but it's only because he got hung up at another place working on somebody else's unit. But he was determined and he came out and got it done. I have nothing against that. It was dark, but he put on a hat that had a light on it and he still succeeded. So, he did a very good job.

    But AHS needs to have better vendors. They need to wean out the vendors that are crappy, with a low score, especially like D&J Appliances with a review of 1.2 and they still keep them there. And I'm paying them money every month to get bottomline feeders. I'm not happy with that. That was the reason why I started doing it. Because after D&J Appliances, I knew I would not allow them to send me crappy vendors. And I had to go to the point where I had to express to them that I didn't feel comfortable with this particular vendor in my home. AHS collects money from me on a regular monthly basis but they give me bottom-feeder vendors. That does not sit well with me.

    We love American Home Shield. They have done everything we needed them to do. My refrigerator and dishwasher got fixed, and my stove got replaced. They also covered the cost of my roof leaks so that I could get my roof replaced. Our last home warranty company always picked contractors that had F ratings on the Better Business Bureau but the contractors American Home Shield has sent out have been fabulous. My roofing guy was phenomenal. They replaced our whole roof in six hours and it's not a little house. They did a pristine job.

    The video analysis that you can do where you can video the problem you're having so that it can be sent to the contractor and they can look at it is the best feature ever. A lot of times, I'd get a contractor who'd say, "We have to come out and take a look.” I would tell them, “I’m telling you exactly what’s wrong with it. Here’s the part number that you need.” But they would still say, "We still have to come out and take a look,” then say, “It’s gonna take us a week to get the parts.” With the video thing, I can say, “Here's the part. Here's the part number. Here's what's wrong,” and they just order it. When they show up, it’s fixed.

    I had used American Home Shield in the past when we moved to the new house. We were looking for a warranty for the whole house and got a call. It seemed like a good offer from another organization. But after two years with them, we were not satisfied with anything. They didn't cover anything in the house. So, we went looking again and decided that the experience with AHS was very good and we liked what happened there. So, we went back and joined again.

    We had multiple things that were happening. Series of outlets that were no longer working. We had the doorbell that had stopped working. The stove started giving us strange error messages and we wanted somebody to track that down. And he was very good. The breaker was stuck and he was able to get it to move back into the right position. He was very thorough and talked to us very well about what was happening and what might be going on. So, we were pleased with that. We're still having trouble with the stove. We know what it is now. They were able to get the error messages it was showing interpreted. So, we need to call back and make another appointment request to AHS.

    Everything has been good so far. We're looking at some plumbing things we know that are coming up, we want to get on. The only thing I don't like about the AHS service or any other warranty services is you cannot make recommendations to them who's a good plumber or electrician or anything if you had prior experience. So far, that has worked out well for us in other places. But we've used one of the plumbing services that we would like to be working with again when we had to go outside the AHS to do that, to get someone we know who's a reliable service provider.

    We've been in this house for three years now, but it was 26 years old. We knew that it's a lot of all the original appliances. So, we were concerned that if something big came up, that's a hard hit. And we knew finding somebody was so confusing. If you don't have people that have used other companies that can tell you what they think about companies, it's very difficult to weed out which ones are decent coming out, being on time, good estimates, things like that. It's a matter of covering anything that might go wrong.

    I had a recent claim to American Home Shield where they sent Brick Street Plumbing. There were a few hiccups but in the end, it went well. They fixed a garbage disposal problem. It was not functioning properly and they replaced it. What I don't like about AHS is it takes time to assign the contractor for which you have to call but the overall experience was good. I need to follow up with the contractor a couple of times to set up the appointment, but after about three days, I was able to get hold of him. American Home Shield is way better than Choice. I had a year with Choice. AHS always tries to diagnose the problem first and try to fix the things instead of giving any wrong commitment to the customer. I had two occurrences where the techs fixed my issues in a single visit. So, that's the good thing about them.

    I have a Samsung convection oven and when I tried to start the upper level only, the temperature would climb but it would give an error code. It would never get passed 200-something. A guy came out and looked at it. He was professional but he was having some family issues, so I was trying to be wary of that. He said that if the issue was the heating element, the oven would not heat at all. I told him, "I've tried it more than 10 times and I disagree with you." He checked it again and the next time he came out, he said, "Can you go ahead and start? Turn the oven on so it's already preheated when I get there so we can play with it from there instead of waiting." It turned out to be the heating element and I ended up getting a new one. The only weird thing was the tech never gave me a receipt as everybody else does. Other than that, everything is fine.

    American Home Shield has a really nice feature with their premium package. They sent an email about the AC check before the season started. The guy that came found the air handler that was supposed to give out 10 BTUs or what the AC measurement was, was only at five. It was starting to go out so I got a new one. We had to do a second call because the first call was the free check. My deductible was a $1,500 part.

    It's easy to use the portal. I just do it online, and American Home Shield has been pretty prompt. I've had a couple of repairs done, and the only time there was a delay was when they had to wait for a part. When our toilet was making noises, the plumber came and said he didn't see anything wrong with it. He said, “If you hear it again, come let me know. We'll just replace the pieces inside.” After he left, the issue kept happening more often. He came back and replaced all the pieces, and I haven't heard the noise since. He was very good.

    American Home Shield's deductible is a bit too much though. This toilet job couldn’t have been 100 bucks. The pieces were probably $25. I compared their deductible to other competitors' as well, and another company's overall rate for the renewal was a bit higher, but when one has an issue, it was 50 bucks instead of 100. I also didn't like that I had all my items under warranty, but since my fridge ended up being in the garage, American Home Shield wouldn't cover it when I had a problem with it. They said it was in the fine lines. Technically, the coverage book said dwelling, but it didn't say anything about garage. I had to get a separate warranty on that unit, so I could have that covered. That was not cool.

One thing, though, was the contractor that was initially called for my account was located in Placerville, which is a significant distance from where I live. But what I liked about American Home Shield is that I called back and requested another company be provided because they could not satisfy the call for two weeks from the time I requested the service. It was an air conditioning claim and hot weather was coming, it was kind of important to get it addressed as soon as possible. To the company's credit, the gentleman who helped me found another vendor. I was very happy with that in a shorter period of time. AMHSI serviced my AC and the gentleman who came out was very professional. He was here on time and got the problem resolved in a very timely manner.

The guy worked in the rain and everything was done in an hour. He put it back at the right temperature for it to come on at 90 degrees. It hasn’t been 90 degrees for it to come on. He tested it.

We had some AC work done and the guy from Grace Heat and Air came out and I knew something wasn't right. It wasn't cooling right and he tried to tell me to just change the filters more. I told him that didn't make sense. He said, "Well, 'cause you have dogs." I told him, "So, it's not getting colder in here because I have dogs. That doesn't make sense." He said, "Well, I put some Freon in it. It should be fine." Then he left and a week and a half later, it stopped working.

    We put in another request for the AC and American Home Shield told me, "Well, that person has to come back out and they have to see it." I told them, "We don't have air. It's going to be 90 degrees. I'm in Texas. That can't be okay." It was a Friday and the contractor couldn't be there till the next Thursday. Those people were obviously just taking the money. He was here less than 10 minutes when he came. Grace Heat and Air are the worst I've ever dealt with before in my life.

Sometimes the contractor doesn't always know and I get it. It's trial and error. But he didn't just leave me hanging. Even though he wasn't 100% sure, he still followed back up and that makes a difference. We also had someone for the hot water heater. But he had COVID and he never called us back. I called three times and our water heater was leaking, and then American Home Shield finally reassigned it.

    The coverage for us has been pretty good. But the cost keeps creeping up a little bit. We have an older house, so American Home Shield really helps. I like that we're able to go online and make a call to set up someone to come out. It's not overly expensive for a call to come out. With our pool, it worked out well. We've had a few things on the garage door, and they were pretty responsive, and that's been a big deal. Sometimes, you don't really know who to call when something happens so American Home Shield helps because it guides us through, "Hey, okay, this is who will take care of you," which is great. But they could really work on the quality of service by the service people.

    I had two claims with AHS. One was for my central air unit that was blowing hot air. The other one was for our garbage disposal. The claims process went pretty smoothly. Both experiences with the techs had been very well. For the garbage disposal, it was too small. The tech had to go and get another one. He came back and replaced it. The other one told me that I may need a new heater for the central air unit ‘cause it's tied in together. He told me that in the future and even within a year, I may need a new one. Everything's been really great with AHS.

    The guy that came out wouldn't replace the knobs on the range. He did just enough to make it work again and that's what I found that American Home Shield does. I'm a little bit disappointed that I'm paying $70 a month for several years. I expect to have a little bit more. They started out at $40 and it's gone up to $70. I will not allow one of their contractors to come back to my property again. They charged me $500 for a refrigerant coolant. We checked the price of that and it was grossly inflated and American Home Shield only paid a part of that. Then two days later, the damn thing went down again and we had to fight them to get that done. They replaced the unit upstairs and they wanted to charge me for upgrades to code standards. But they didn't do any work. I had to take photographs and do stuff on it. Overall, American Home Shield could help me in the case of a catastrophe. But if I put my money in a savings account, I'd probably be better off.

    Overall, American Home Shield is okay but they're not fantastic. You've got to take whoever they want to send to you. You don't get to choose who it is. I had one of the contractors come out and I was having a problem with him. I told him, "Hey, look, man, I don't want that done." He said, "Well, I don't work for you. I work for American Home Shield. I do not work for you and you don't tell me what I can and I can't do." This is the attitude that I've had more than not. American Home Shield just does what they have to do but they're not on my side. They're on the side of making money. Every month that they take that $70, I'm on the verge of canceling.

    We had a claim to American Home Shield for an icemaker. The icemaker took about a month and a half before they decided to fully replace the fridge, which was nice. It just took a really long time between the video diagnosis. They diagnosed the wrong thing, so when the guy came, he had to order a different part. When the next guy came with the next part, it didn't fix the problem because it was an electrical problem. So, it took several weeks and it took several visits. I was without ice and that was frustrating. But eventually, they did replace the whole fridge.

    It was a very frustrating part of the process that we would have to order the part, wait for the part to come, and then we could call to schedule for the next person. That person, usually, was at least 10 days to two weeks out before they could come. Knowing that the part only takes a couple of days to come, it would have been nice if we have started that process much sooner and saved a couple of days. Other than that, when they couldn't fix it, they replaced the item with something comparable. So, I appreciate that.

    With our recent claim with AHS, the sump pump wasn't pumping the water out. It had burned out and wasn't working. The Clog Father was assigned and the techs had to completely replace it. The only thing, I had a five-gallon bucket and they took it with them when they took the sump pump. But other than that, everything was fine. I had an issue with the sump pump a week later. It wasn't working. The guy came out and looked at it. He said, "Normally, I would charge for this." But he noted that I was a single mom and had a lot going on.

    Somehow a Lego had gotten in the water reservoir and had stuck up in the sump pump and there were some rocks in there as well from the bottom of the sump pump. He got it all out and came up with something so that it wouldn't suck up the rocks. I was really impressed. They were a really nice company. But when the techs did my water heater, I noticed that they must have needed a rag to clean something off and they just grabbed a rag from my laundry room. I wish they would have asked me.

    Not only are we disappointed with Same Day Air, but we're also disappointed with American Home Shield. It took them 11 days to give me a call back and to make some headway with my AC unit. It is 115 degrees out in the city of Phoenix in Arizona. We have been without an AC unit for 16 days. They came out, did an assessment, and told us that the assessment was that we needed a new unit. The representative came out, wrote up an actual new unit quote, and said that he was going to send it to American Home Shield. But American Home Shield, in turn, was not going to do anything. To talk to somebody and to a supervisor is like an act of Congress. They did not give me any reason and/or feedback.

    They sent out another representative from Same Day Air. The representative said, “Our first one was incompetent and he didn't know what he was doing.” Nonetheless, he said, “We're cleaning the coils and that's going to cost $500.” Then he told me once he cleaned off the coils and took my $500, "Something else is wrong. You need a new compressor which American Home Shield will cover. However you're gonna pay for the refrigerant to fill it out once we take out the compressor and put a new one in.” Now I'm out another $1,200 for AC coolant. I'm close to up to $1,700 for something that could have been rectified by giving me a new unit. The compressor is gonna go out again or somebody's gonna go out again. That means that I gotta keep on putting in money to a unit that, number one, is 15 years old, and number two, is going to be a troublesome unit for the next five years.

    The dishwasher wasn't working. A very nice and professional guy came out and put an electronic board in. It worked for a couple of days. Then as I was walking around the house, I could hear that it was making noticeable alarm noises even when it wasn't on. Then it just stopped working. So, I called back and they sent someone out a week or two later and put another board in. Now, it seems to be working.

    I got the prompts first when I did the claim, and then I eventually got a person. They got on the phone pretty quickly. I didn't have to wait very long. I had a little trouble getting someone out here initially because of COVID. The repairman that does this area apparently was exposed. So, it took a couple of weeks to get them out here. But after that, he came out and it's been no problem since. I kind of forgave him for that. I think they should have more than one guy available, but I dealt with it.

    The few times I've had to use AHS, their service has been very good and I really needed them. I'm happy with American Home Shield. I don't think I've wasted my money at all. I have had them since 2008 at least in my other home. I got lucky there because I just bought the house. The house is nine years old and right after I signed up, about two months later, my hot water heater went out. AHS replaced it with a brand new one.

So, I called the 1800 number, but they just put notes there. I'm at a loss until now. I thought the contractor contacted American Home Shield. So, they repaired it, and now I received a bill from them. I told the contractor, "Why will I pay that? It's between you and American Home Shield. Why will you bill me?" I've had some repairs before. But the last service was terrible. Maybe it's the fault of the contractor because they didn't wait for AHS's authorization.

    All of their services should have some fine print in it. For example, when I replaced my water heater, I paid $600 more. I did a separate check-up on my AC. So, I asked them if, "For example, because it's 12 years old now, if this breaks down, will American Home Shield shoulder?" "Oh no, no, no. I don't know. You'll be paying a lot of money even if you're with American Home Shield." If your AC or heater breaks down. Some contractors are very good, but sometimes you'll be surprised you'll just get repair only. AHS will not replace it. How will AHS handle it if my AC breaks down? There should be some fine print in it. That's why I got this insurance. I will pay less. Some of the policies are not clear. It's not completely relayed to customers like me. Last time, I was surprised. "Oh, really? I have to pay this much?" Some of my friends recommended me to another provider. So, I'm thinking about it.

    One of my AC units wasn't working. The guy who came out checked the thermostat. He ended up replacing the thermostat and something inside the unit itself. I sent the service request to American Home Shield through the app. The app is good. If I have one complaint, it's about a subsidiary of theirs, ProConnect. I used their services one time. Normally, when American Home Shield comes through, I pay on the app and that's it but when I called ProConnect, which was recommended by them, they charged me $186 and they never fixed it.

    Before the guy left, I told him, “Man, please don't leave.” The service was for a dryer vent cleaning, and he didn't go outside. I had actually cleaned the inside of the house myself. I had gone in about eight feet. So, I felt it probably need to be done on the outside but he came into the house and did it. I said, “Man, can you just run the dryer? Because I'm telling you, it's going to fail.” He said, “Hey, if it fails, just call the office again.” I called the office five times. They scheduled me for somebody to come in and redo it. Every time, either an hour before or the day before, they would call me and say, “I have to cancel. Can I reschedule?” On the fifth time they called to tell me that, I just hung up on them.

    When I called to complain, they told me, “Well, you don't really have to use them. You could have used anybody you wanted to.” I said, “But your site is recommending these guys." I don't think that's fair. $189 and my dryer still doesn't work. I still have to call somebody else in to come and repair something that I paid them to repair. Every time American Home Shield came out, they took care of me. I like the ease of using AHS. I don't really need to have to talk to anyone, even though they will call me and follow up. I can do everything online. When they tell me they're going to be here, they're going to be here, and they’d be here in the window timeframe that they give me. The response time is very good.

The guy said, “You need a new drum. I'll order it. American Home Shield has approved the purchase. We can't come back out and fix it until you get the parts.” The parts came. They rescheduled the appointment. The guy came out. But, the dryer still does not work at all. When he replaced the drum, it was still making a noise. He told me that the dryer was warped and that he requested that American Shield just go ahead and replace them.

    AHS said, “We'll get a second opinion.” But they requested a second opinion from somebody who doesn't even fix Kenmore appliances. I went online today to look at the request ID but it was marked as complete. I went on the little chat and was able to chat with somebody and told her about it. So they got another repair person coming out to take a look at that.

    I also used the chat and I asked about renewal and what would the rates look like if I want to lower my service fee, ‘cause right now I pay $100 for the service fee. But they were not able to give me that information. They said, “We can make the changes today if you want.” That was the only way that they could pull the trigger and couldn’t even give me a ballpark of what it would look like.

    The heating mechanism on the dryer wasn't coming on to dry the clothing. The tech that AHS sent was excellent. He was able to fit me into his schedule right away and was punctual. He gave me some options of some time frames and called me 30 minutes before, so I could leave work. He went right into work and knew what to do. He was able to fix the part on that particular visit. He had to part in his vehicle, so he didn't have to go and find the part or come back. Overall, I had a great experience.

And I'm able to call AHS, have somebody come by, look at it and whether they would fix it or not, or I get a new appliance. Recently my microwave was messed up.

    The first time I had to call American Home Shield was about my AC around March. They assigned someone and the first concern I had was when I looked at the reviews online of the person that they had assigned, it was terrible. I called up and asked if I have to go with this contractor and they said I have to go with what they give me. I told them that the reviews are terrible and that I didn't feel very confident about what was going to happen and the experience that I was going to have. Also, it was my first time and they explained to give the contractor 24 hours to get back to me.

    In 24 hours, I didn't hear from them so I called. They said the technician makes the appointment and they call in the morning. I waited the next morning but I didn’t get a phone call. I called that afternoon and the technician said he called but he didn't get an answer. The number that they were calling was not the correct number. But American Home Shield has the correct number so I don't know how they didn't have the correct number. On the third day, there was still no call. I called back and they said the tech said he called but there was no answer. This went on for a week.

    After a week, I called American Home Shield back and said, “I don't know what's going on with these people.” The people answering the phones can't set an appointment and the person who's supposed to be calling me for an appointment says they're calling but they're not calling. I had to fight but they gave me somebody else and I felt really confident about the second contractor they gave me. They came right out within a day and the tech said he would not be able to find this part. I waited a week but there was no response so I called them and they said they were still working on it with American Home Shield.

    I waited another week and I called back. The technician said whoever answered the phone contacted the technician that I have been talking to all along. He said that that technician told me that they couldn’t do anything and to just call American Home Shield back and say they couldn't find the part and they don’t work with American Home Shield anymore. He never told me that. I talked to him a week ago and he said they were still working on it.

    I called American Home Shield and told them what he said. They called him and he told them a totally different story. He said that he was still working on it. Then, the following week, he called me back and said the same thing to me. He told me to tell American Home Shield they couldn't fix it, they couldn't find the part, and they don't service with them anymore. This went on for another week or so, where every time American Home Shield would call him, he would act like everything was fine but then he would tell me something different. I said to put him on the phone while I’m on the phone and he wouldn’t take the call. He wouldn’t let them transfer over. I fought and fought and finally, somebody agreed to give me a new contractor. The people who I ultimately got were wonderful.

    Another claim was when out of nowhere, the stove just started blinking this error message. The tech came out and troubleshot everything. American Home Shield called me up and said my options were to wait 10 weeks for the new part or wait two to three weeks for them to repair it or take $300 to replace it. I can't replace a stove for $300, especially a sliding stove with no back on it. I picked the middle road. If it’s two or three weeks, let’s just fix it.

    A week later, I called the tech up but he had no information. I called American Home Shield and asked where are we at in the process but nobody could give me any information. For two weeks, nobody could give me information about the part. Then, it took almost a week to get him back. It was a total of three weeks. Finally, at the three-week mark, the technician called and said he got the part back and he would come on Monday to put it in. He put in the part but the stove is doing the exact same thing it was doing when he took it out three weeks ago. He said he doesn't believe the part is fixable.

    When American Home Shield called me, they gave me the impression that they had identified where he was supposed to send this and they have picked who was supposed to repair it. His job was to take it out and ship it to them. She told me it would take them 48 hours to fix it, ship it back to him, and he would come back and put it in. They said that the whole process would take three weeks.

    I have anxiety every time about who I’m gonna get and what it’s gonna be like. I got the warranty because every time I need somebody for a little thing here or there, I didn’t know who I could get. I got it to have peace of mind but my experience has been on both ends of the spectrum. I've either had really good people or I've had really bad people and I don't know what I'm gonna get. The reviews are out there so I'm not exactly sure why they contract with people who have such terrible track records. But the good thing is, one or two times, they asked if I have anybody in mind. Also, Kintex Plumbing came out recently and they were good. They got to the root of the issue and got it resolved fast. That was one of my best experiences with them.

    I've had a few claims, and so far, so good. One claim was for the refrigerator. First, American Home Shield sent one of their service providers who came twice but couldn't figure out how to fix it. They had to get somebody else who specialized in Viking refrigerators and that guy was able to fix it, although it took three weeks to get the parts. However, that's a supply chain problem and I don't think that's anything to do with them. Another claim was for a pool pump that was down. They handled that and I was happy with it.

It's a pleasure dealing with the people that are involved with Home Shield versus, every once in a while, having a little bit of displeasure.

    Last year, I called American Home Shield when I had a problem with the pipes that were frozen. Liberty came and they told me that something was wrong with the unit outside and they said that it would leak, so they needed to change the whole thing outside. I agreed to do it. I paid almost $2,000 out of my pocket. For the whole summer, it ran well. Then when I started this year, I was wondering how come it was blowing air but it's not cooling. So, I requested a repair and AHS sent the same company. They checked it and they said my Freon was totally empty.

    They said they were gonna request something, and then they would come back in a couple of days. They said something was wrong inside. There was a leak in one of the valves. They told me AHS is just gonna pay $10 per pound for the Freon, but I'm gonna need full Freon. I really want to speak to American Home Shield to ask why they charged me $130 to bring somebody here and then the mechanic charged me like 340 for the small leak. The good thing is they gave me a receipt so I could prove to AHS that I really paid. Overall, I’m satisfied because when I requested the service, within five minutes, somebody called. Within two hours, someone was already here. So, that one was excellent, especially since it’s getting hot.

    When A-Town came out here, I explained to Aaron that my washer was full of water. It had gone through the wash but would not rinse. It had a code of OE. Aaron used a special thing and got it to spin. I had taken all the clothes. I had wrung them out and had to go to the laundromat, wash them, and came back home and dried them. He put it on the special spin. The water spun out. He said, "Oh, okay. It's fine. Put a load of clothes in." I put a load of clothes in. He only stayed here for a little bit. He never stayed to see a full load wash. So from the wash to the spin cycle that was about 20 minutes, I was calling him saying, "I'm having the same problem. I've got the O3 code and it's not spinning.” He looked up the information. He said, "Well, that sounds like the pump. The code for the pump."

    He came back out here. He's been here like five times. I even told him, “It takes two times for things to dry in my dryer.” He said that the dryer was fine. He said the duct may just need to be cleaned. I got an email from AHS' sister company today talking about a duct special. So I'll do that. He did not bring a pump when he came out the second time. He came out and said, "Well, it was working for me. I don't know why." So he fiddled again, still didn't bring the pump the second time, fiddled again and said, "Well, it's spinning." I sad, "It couldn't spin on me." Then, I once again put the clothes in there. He still did not wait for the full cycle for it to go and another code came on and I can't remember that one. He said it was something like the agitator.

    Then he came back out. This is the third that he put the agitator things in. They’re four long tubes in the top back. Then again, told me to put a full load in. “It's okay.” I put another full load in. It still did not spin. I called him in 15 minutes because this one didn't spin after the wash. He came back out and said I needed a pump. I said, "That was the first code I gave you that you said that it needed." The very first one was OE. So I once again had to take clothes to the laundromat and wash them out. Then he came back out because it still wasn't working after that. Now, he's got the motherboard. He said that it was something in the motherboard. He said at that point, he did not know if AHS would replace the washer or continue to fix it because now it's getting expensive. The guy just came today to get this nasty, stinky smelling water out of my washing machine. We've had to deal with this since Friday morning.

    He was gonna call me Friday evening. I didn't hear from him. I called him this morning and he called me back and said he was still waiting on a response. Every time I was having trouble, it was with a spin cycle. He did not one time wait. He would go outside and talk on the phone 10 minutes, but he would not wait for my washing machine to go. He would not stay here 35 minutes to wait for my washer to finish. What he would tell me is, again, "Put a full load in. And if something happens, call me or I'll call you back in 40 minutes." I felt like I wasn't important enough for him to wait. It was almost like every time I was being called a liar because I said, "It's not doing this." Then he was telling me to redo this and I'm still getting the same code.

I don't understand why they ignore the reviews and continue to have these individuals that they send to innocent people's homes. It's ridiculous. I had a claim for the AC that was blowing hot and it also needed maintenance. I went through AHS to hire a contractor just in case it wasn't something simple because sometimes it's something extremely simple, which it was that I discovered. They were going to replace a board, which was perfectly fine. My thermostat was set to the wrong type of system. I hired the service individuals for maintenance upgrades. I asked, "Do you need me to make sure the water is turned on outside?" I've hired people to do maintenance of my HVAC system before. I see them take the temperature of the air, the level of the Freon, and they water everything down. They clean out the coils. I've watched it before.

    The tech looked confused and looked at me surprised like, "Oh, yeah, you need to do that." They didn't even do the maintenance. They opened a call to replace the coil. This was in a major heatwave and it was hitting over 100 degrees here. They said they could be done on Wednesday. It was Friday that this happened. And if you look at the reviews, what everybody was saying in the reviews was what happened here. It was just ridiculous. AHS' contractors reflect the company.

    I had a busted pipe in the kitchen ceiling, so we had plumbing service come out. The contractor had to access the ceiling so they had to get authorization, punched a hole, and fixed the pipe. Then 510 came out after the fact and did the ceiling repair. The technicians were very professional and pretty prompt. There was nothing that was delayed. Their response wasn't necessarily immediate, but they showed up when they were scheduled. So far, the experience has been pretty good.

    I like American Home Shield's responsiveness when I put in a service request. Sometimes, there's a little bit of a delay with the contracted folks to come do the work. But when I have called American Home Shield, I’ve experienced them acting on the concern. So that's always pretty good. Some subcontracting or contracted folks are better than others. I’ve experienced a little bit of both historically. So it's an important thing for American Home Shield to maintain being very selective on who they subcontract.

The guy showed up in a pickup truck and did not have a business card with him. He went to the air conditioning unit but never actually went to the unit inside my home. He said, “You need a new compressor,” and that was the end of that conversation. I said, “Great. When will I know that they're coming to fix it?” He said, “They will call you.” I didn't hear anything for a good 10 days.

    I called and the company put me on hold then said “Well, the compressor’s in town. That's good news.” The next thing I knew, they didn't call me again to set up any kind of appointment. I called again within two days and said, “I live in the desert, it's 100 degrees out and this has ridiculously gone now two weeks without air conditioning.” The rep said to me, “Well, you have to pay $800.” I said, “What's the $800 for?” I could hardly understand what she was saying because they have a bit of an accent. She said something to the effect of the cost is $400 because I needed electrical work, and another $400 to bring something up to code. I asked for something in writing to show me what it was about, but I never received that.

    Meanwhile, we already had an inspection on the air conditioner, and no one ever told us anything about that prior to Chilly Willy even coming out. I said, “Well, that's ridiculous because we have up to $1,250. We're not supposed to have to pay anything.” They said to me, “Okay, we're gonna call you back.” I said, “Would you please call me back by the end of the day so I know what to expect?” “Oh, yes. Absolutely. We'll call you back.” I never heard another word. Finally, a friend of mine tried to call the rep. In the meantime, my husband contacted the Better Business Bureau because we were at our wits’ end. The company said, “Oh, well, we can't do anything with you now because you've contacted the Better Business Bureau so you're basically on your own.”

    Long story short, I had the air conditioner fixed on my own dime of $1,600 because I had to. As it turns out, I didn't need any electrical work or any kind of retrofitting. Chilly Willy was fraudulent. They wanted to charge me $800 for something that didn't even need to be done. Also, American Home Shield is supposedly going to give me $1,015, but we have not received the money yet. No one's ever contacted us to tell us how to get it or what we need to do. They also told me that it will not be covered under any warranty. If I call them again about the air conditioner, supposedly, I will not be covered. I find this very hard to believe and I've been very patient and kind. It's been awful.

    All in all, I'm really very unhappy, and I am in the construction industry. I understand what goes on but I didn't get anything. No information. I'm pretty upset and I feel people should know about this Chilly Willy company for one thing. I even said to American Home Shield, “Why don't you get a different vendor for us? Please. We need to get this fixed.” “I'm sorry, ma’am. We can't do that.” It's really so unprofessional. I own my own business so I know what it's like to be in business and to have to try to take care of people and get other people to work for you. This was beyond.

    I've got a claim for a pool pump. I'm not satisfied with the way that was going. So, I gotta get back with American Home Shield and figure that out. It has been going on for a while, but I understand that they haven't found somebody to do it. This lady called and she's hard to understand and none of the information can be sent to me via my email. She wants me to write everything down and there's a lot of stuff to copy down. That did not make any sense to me. So, she said, "Well, you can find your own technician," which I don't have a problem with that.

    And she wants to give me a list of 60 people that I can't use. I said, "You can't just send me the list." "Nope, gotta write them down." And I said, "Well, that doesn't make any sense." And all the stipulations. So, they want to see the bid, and they have to prove it, they said that I have to pay for it, and I have to mail a receipt to a PO box somewhere, and get reimbursed, which I don't have a problem paying for. But it seemed everything was handled well until this. On another claim, the bearings were out in the washing machine. The Sears technician came out. Did a great job. It only took a few days, and then they had to order some parts, which took a bit of time, another couple of weeks. The experience with the washing machine was great. The tech got it all taken care of. Everything has gone well.

    The biggest benefit to having a home warranty is I know how much it's gonna cost to fix something. We haven't had too many giant things go wrong, and I assume that, one of these days, we will and we're going to be really happy that we have it. The cost of stuff is more spread out, and American Home Shield seems to know what they're doing. Sometimes though, I have to call the assigned company. When my air conditioning was broken and they said, "Okay, you're gonna get a call within two days from this company. They'll come fix it," I didn't get the call. It was almost like the HVAC company was so busy, "If they don't bother us, we're not going to bother them." I've just gotten to, now, calling them myself as soon as I get the email saying I'm gonna get a call.

    I have a really old Sears washer from 1998 and I love it because it fills up with water. The new ones are so economical, I don't feel they clean very well at all. Sears always comes out and fixes my old washer, and I keep being worried that they're gonna say, "Nope, sorry, you gotta replace it," but it hasn't happened yet. Also, I get mad when American Home Shield doesn't send me the Sears technicians. They did that for a dishwasher a couple of years ago and I was upset about that because the person did not seem to know what was going on. Now, I know to request the Sears people because there are these two guys that always come and they're awesome. In fact, I had to request once. Now, they just seem to give me those people. If AHS didn't give me Sears, I might drop the home warranty. I wouldn't because there are other things in my house, but I need to have Sears to fix a Sears washer. That's a no-brainer.

    There wasn't any power going from the water heater to the breaker box, so American Home Shield had to get an electrician out. They were fast. They said that after the electrician came out, they still had to come out and check the water heater. I'm waiting on them or American Home Shield to call me back on that. We also used American Home Shield for my AC, my refrigerator and my dryer, and they were able to resolve the issue each time. They're very efficient. Everybody should have them.

    We had an issue with our air conditioning unit so we called American Home Shield to have someone come out and see what was going on. That process was very smooth. Initially, I did the claim online then I called them to see if I could request Anytime Air. The lady said that Anytime Air was not taking any calls. Since I had already opened up a request two weeks prior and it was within my 30 days, she said that she would just send the same personnel, which was Abilene. I was very appreciative of that.

    I've used American Home Shield several times. So far, so good. I like the timeliness of the service. I call the 1-800 number. I make a few comments as to what my problem is. The system seems to work pretty well. If it doesn't identify the problem without talking to anyone, there is a feature to let me talk to someone. I used the home warranty when one of the mechanisms inside the toilet was running water and I couldn't get it to stop running. Someone from Sewer Medic came and he was knowledgeable. He took care of my problem. I also had an air conditioning problem a couple of times and the home warranty took care of that for me. There was also a time I had a problem with my hot water tank and water leaking in my garage. American Home Shield had to replace both of those and I had to pay out of pocket. My deductible is now 125 and that's the second increase.

    When I called American Home Shield, I asked them about the contractors that they use. They branch out a little further so I like that. They pool contractors other than just the local contractors I was familiar with. I had done some research for a while online and read their reviews. Their process is easy from the start to finish, and everything can be done online. So I like the ease of that.

    The contractor gave me a call and said that they would be coming to install my cooktop. The first time they came out, the tech was unaware that the gas line wasn't with the original order. So he asked me if I wanted him to just put the cooktop on and come back. I was in no big hurry. So he placed an order for the gas line and then he was back in a day. He spent about 30 minutes in here and ended up everything got going. The cooktop works fine.

    The tech was funny. He's kind of young but he was professional. He gave me a crazy call. He let me know what the problem was. When a problem arose, he told me what the problem was and explained that he would get it taken care of. Then he came right back and gave me a call again and let me know he was on his way. He came in and got the job done. He explained to me what he had done, and got my signature and he was on his way.

    American Home Shield's service is good enough, but it used to be better. The people who have come out for service recently hadn't quite been as good as they used to be. I had an AC claim and it turned out the problem was just a dirty coil. So, the guy sprayed some chemicals on the outside. He didn't take anything off, but he sprayed some chemicals on the outside and rinsed it off. That did make it work, so I shouldn't complain but when I looked on YouTube, people take things off before they clean. Maybe he knew real special how to spray it, and they also gave us two units of Freon. It really is convenient to just call AHS, but my wife has considered switching. She'd like a company where we could choose who comes out to do the service.
