The service with American Home Shield has been very good. I called them for my dryer and paid my money, and they had somebody out within a couple days. The tech needed to order a part and it was all fixed within weeks. I was very happy about that. A couple years ago, I also used AHS for some plumbing issues. Having them saves me money. I could be wrong, but it seems like it. At least I don't have a big chunk at one time.

Our icemaker wasn't working and the sensor was out. The contractor was fantastic. The issue was the sensor switch for the ice maker. This warranty was a good deal. If anything goes wrong, just paying the base price of $80 would be worth it because almost anything you would have to pay for would be much more than that. It's a fantastic deal especially if you have things that are not brand-new. In the past, when we didn't have AHS, it seemed like we were taken advantage of.
When we call, AHS is very prompt to get somebody out here. We're not waiting weeks. The tech from Sears called with regards to the problem I was having and troubleshot it. When they came, they had the part. I didn't have to wait for them to come twice.

American Home Shield works great for me. They are quick to respond. The accessibility being that they're available on weekends is great, too. Anything that's a problem the tenant complains about, I can call American Home Shield and it gets taken care of. I wish it wasn't as expensive as it was, but it is what it is.

We've only had to use American Home Shield a couple times, but I really liked the cost and response time for the annual pre-check for my furnace. The service provider was out here within a few days, and they came on our schedule. I wasn't home at the time, but my wife said it was very quick and thorough. The only real issue I put in my survey result was they didn't leave any type of inspection document with me. They didn't tell me what they did or what they recommend I do, if anything, to improve.

Initially noticed my freezer not working. Everything started to melt. Two days prior to that, my icemaker stopped working. I didn't put it together that probably my freezer wasn't working until it was too late, and started paying attention to my refrigerator. It wouldn't get any colder than 45 for the whole thing. So, I called American Home Shield to have a contractor come out. Watkins came out a few days later. He added Freon and another part. And he said by 24 hours, it would be cold. But by 10:00 PM that night, I put a glass of water in it and kept checking the temperature of the water, nothing froze in the freezer, and the temperature was still between 44 and 49. I thought depended on how wide I'd open it and tried to figure it out.
I called Watkins. They came back out a couple of days after that. The took out the freezer drawer on the bottom. It's a French door with a freezer on the bottom. And he took that out and there was a panel behind that. And he said that American Home Shield would have to order the part and they would let me know when it came in. Kevin was great. He was one of the best repair people I've had at my house, even though he didn't fix it. He didn't fix it, but that was before he knew he didn't fix it. He did everything he could. Watkins said it would be five to eight days when AHS orders the part. I got a text on Monday saying the part had been ordered. I texted back, “But how long really? ‘Cause it's Thanksgiving next week.” AHS said five to eight days, and that sometimes it comes in a bit sooner and they'd let me know. Everybody has gotten back to me. But I'm annoyed because I don't have a refrigerator and it's going on a month the end of Thanksgiving.

I wasn't happy with my home warranty provider so I ended up switching to American Home Shield. I liked them a lot better so when it was time to cover our new home, I didn't call anybody except American Home Shield. I recently filed a claim for my washer that wasn't spinning out and draining completely. The process was a lot better than it was when I had American Home Shield first. This time, they gave me a link to click if I needed to get in touch with the company. It also gave me the appointment time. It gave me two windows to choose from. I chose the window that was more convenient for me, and a repairman showed up within that timeframe. He was very professional and pleasant. I was very satisfied. However, I was confused about the price that it charged me 'cause I thought I had a $75 deductible. Evidently, it's $125 now. But I would recommend others to get American Home Shield. It pays for itself in the long run.

I would recommend AHS. They've done what they said they’d do. They fixed our appliances when they’ve broken down. However, for our refrigerator, to get the parts in and for Sears to fix, it took three weeks. Maybe they could fix problems faster.

I'm not that happy with the service, but still, I would recommend American Home Shield. It’s just some of the contractors they use. Matlock Rooter Services took forever with my water heater, and I had to call them several times. The people who just do a maintenance check on my heating unit come out and contact me immediately, but with this one, when they came out the first time, it took them a couple of days to get back in touch with me. That bothered me. Also, they tried to fix something that should have been replaced, and now I've been without a water heater for almost a week and a half.
I told Matlock the water heater needed to be replaced because I researched things, and it's a bad water heater when you have sediment coming out and the noise and the smell. When I told the guy that the murky water was an indication that the water heater needed to be changed, he said, “No, that’s just something that’s gonna happen.” “No, that ain’t something that’s gonna happen. Brown water don’t come out your sink." He turned something and I thought everything was fine, but when I left for work then came back, water was leaking. It flooded and backed up the system in the front part of it when I was washing.
Now, Matlock is saying that they’re gonna have to order the water heater. I told them, “You gotta schedule it. I’m a police captain. I’m on a shift. I can’t just be taking off any time just to get here without advance notice.” However, they didn’t give me a timeframe on how long it’s gonna take them to order or how long it's gonna be for them to put it out.

The tech wasn't sure exactly what the problem was. But he came in, looked at the stovetop, and saw a crack. He got all the information he needed for the research of parts availability. I was told that someone would get back to me as quick as possible. When he did the following day, he told me that parts were not available. But I saw on American Home Shield that the case was closed. But nothing was repaired or replaced. When I called back, they said they were looking into it regarding replacements right now. They were supposed to get back to me last Friday. But there's no information back. So I called in four times so far. This has been going back and forth now for the last three weeks. They're all polite and helpful, but they always have the same response. The last four weeks were very frustrating. But normally, American Home Shield is a really, really good company. They are very quick and responsive.

A friend of mine had a warranty company and she really liked it. I researched them all and American Home Shield was the easiest to get signed up with. We've had American Home Shield for four years now, and I have really enjoyed their service. It's very easy to submit a claim. When the element on my dryer went out, the guy they sent was wonderful. He let me know when he was gonna be here, came on time, and explained the process. He was very helpful too. He replaced the element and I paid extra for him to do the cleaning maintenance. The home warranty is something that I never thought I would want or have, but the ease and convenience has been beneficial. However, I have an exception to that, because we got our air conditioner totally replaced. That's not cheap, and American Home Shield didn't pay for all of it because it was older. We got a discount though. In the long run, I still would recommend the company.
We've had that air conditioner two years, and we have had to have it serviced 18 times. If someone looks at my account, they can see how many times we've filed claims, and at least twice out of those, the company itself followed up to fix it again, without me even filing a claim because it was within the 30 days. I was at a loss for words. The unit is $15,000, and I thought, "At what point do we say that this is a lemon?" I've given it so many chances, and at this point, three different companies have come to work on it. We have the same people for quite some time ‘cause we live in a rural area. An owner of a company also came out, and it was like they knew us by name. They probably hate us.
Everybody that comes out, I say, "Please help me. What is wrong with this? What are we doing?" They've inspected our entire house to make sure everything's set up properly, including the outside and inside units. We have also done everything that they've told us to do, and the unit just went out a couple of months ago. The last company that came was newer and right now, the unit is working, but so help me, if it goes out again, I am going to lose it.
I can get the record when and if I need to take extra steps, but each time I think, "Okay. It's fixed. We're good to go." I go with confidence for two or three months, then it happens again. I don't even know what next steps would be. Because we're going through American Home Shield who are going through the contractors, then a manufacturer would come into play somewhere. All of these problems are not American Home Shield's fault though. They do what they need to do every time, and thank God that we have them. Otherwise, we'd be paying to fix the unit 18 times.

One faucet had broken off and the drain was clogged. B-N-K Plumbing replaced the faucet and the plug for the drain and they also unclogged the drain. But I have long hair and I reclogged the drain so they came out and unclogged it again. They showed me how to take it off to unclog my own drain. B-N-K Plumbing was professional and personable.

CNR did our furnace and they were good. But they were supposed to get in touch with us and they didn't. I would call them and they were like, “You know, good luck if you leave a message, text us.” That was really weird but I texted them and they never got back in touch. However, we did get an email from them the next day confirming an appointment time, which was great. Then, they came out and the guy discovered that there was an issue with the furnace and they ordered the parts. I didn't hear from them again for over a week. I texted them and that's when they came out with our part and fixed it.
When they were here, they were really good but their customer service is bizarre. They didn't respond to us in any way and they never let us know that the part was in. It took me sending them a text. Also, I noticed this morning that when the furnace comes on, it makes a roaring sound. Then, it did clunking sounds, it shut off and on, and when it came back on, it stayed on. I'm gonna give it another day. It seems to be heating the room but something's not quite right.

The people who installed the new refrigerator left a leaky line and after they left, I called the American Home Shield number. The rep kept asking if it was a plumbing problem and I said that it was but it was because of the installation. Finally, I told them to just send the plumber out. I'm waiting on a plumber to come to fix that, which I had to make a secondary claim through American Home Shield and pay for it again, which is aggravating. The agent that I talked to told me I had to. Still, AHS is probably worth it.

Aladdin's Plumbing came out for a very slow shower drain, and within a short time, it was slow again. I was a little disappointed that the first guy didn't point out to us that we had a hidden trap underneath our drains that was catching hair. We tried to put another drain on top, but nothing was being caught. The second guy opened it up and explained how to catch it. The guy who came out at first didn't even bother doing that. If the first guy had done his job right, we wouldn't have had to call them a second time.

The microwave lost power. It's a GE appliance. They sent a person from GE to repair it, but it was irreparable. It needed a magnetron. They calculated that it was cheaper to replace it than to repair it. The people who delivered the new microwave on behalf of American Home Shield were supposed to install it. They looked at it and said they couldn't install it. It was not gonna fit. I knew it was gonna fit because I was very careful about the size I chose. But for some reason, they didn't want to do it. I told American Home Shield and they sent out Zoriks. Zoriks installed it without any problem. They were very good. I'm glad I got a new microwave at no cost under my agreement with American Home Shield. But it's wasteful in today's world when you're trying not to have so much trash and not to throw so many things away. This is a big object. I tried to convince Zoriks to take it, fix it and keep it, but they said, "We don't do that."
American Home Shield is a good idea to have everything covered with one place rather than have individual coverages. When I joined it, the fee was much lower. It's gone up quite a bit, more than just incremental, but I would give them a good rating. There was one instance where we had to go to the corporate office. When we did, it had a satisfactory outcome.

We've had the service for a couple of years, and the price of the monthly premium has gone up quite a bit since we started in 2017. American Home Shield raised, more or less, 50% a year ago, and we've had a couple of difficult problems as well. We had one with our furnace that got resolved, thankfully. It took a bunch of visits because the repair man kept trying different things and that wasn’t it, but eventually he figured it out. That was all right. Also, our house has been undergoing some renovations, mainly in the bathroom, and we’ve had multiple appliances go bad on us in the past eight weeks, so we've been calling and using the service frequently. We had the microwave worked on, and they have to come back and do something else. We had the washing machine worked on too.
The main issue that we have is it sometimes takes five days to get a contractor out here. So if my heat is out and it's 20 degrees out, I'm still going to call someone to get my furnace fixed. For the kind of problems we've had though, it's been good. In the last few years, we've only called one outside vendor to have something fixed. That was when we had a leak in the ceiling of the garage from a burst pipe, and we needed to get someone in to take care of that right away. In general, we're very pleased with American Home Shield. We've saved quite a bit of money over the years, and we know some of the vendors, including the guy who fixed our fan.

A repairman came for the door that wouldn't stay up. He was swift and professional. He walked in and looked at it without touching it. He told me it was a broken spring. It was fixed five minutes later. We had also filed a claim for a slab leak. The experience was horrible. That was our second slab leak. The first time, we did not file it on the home warranty. We paid it out of pocket to get it repaired. But the second time, it caused more damage. We decided to call American Home Shield. It was a lot of back and forth. There was no communication. They just sent a check. We had to call to ask what the check was for. It was not covering everything that needed to be covered. They sent us 1,600, and we still had to come out of pocket 2,500 bucks.

I had American Home Shield with several properties. I went to Choice Home Warranty, but I couldn't beat the service I got with American Home Shield. They understand that my mother is 91 years old and when she has a problem, they get right on it because she lives partly by herself. From the hot water heater to any other appliances I've called them for, I highly recommend them. They do a standout job because they realize they're dealing with senior citizens and they don't want them to have to wait. My mother would’ve sat in a cold house if American Home Shield hadn’t sent a technician out to resolve a problem last winter.
When her clothes washer went out, AJ’s Appliance came out. They did a remarkable job. I talked to them on the phone and complimented them on how they handled it. They did a professional job and they assessed the problem. They articulated it to my mother and what was exactly going wrong. American Home Shield did an outstanding job processing the claim.

American Home Shield tends to be quick. They have covered most of the things that we have called about. There could be more transparency in terms of what they cover upfront. Like we had an issue in our other house with like our faucet was not working, and because it was not installed correctly, originally, they wouldn't cover it, which seemed strange. So, little things like that have been annoying, but we're still customers so it's not enough for us to change services. We are satisfied.

Advanced Heating and Air came out about a month ago, originally, to fix our air conditioning. Last week, they came out ‘cause the heat wasn't working. They had to order a part. They have to fix the air conditioning and heating still. We've been without heat for about a week and a half now. Supposedly, they have it scheduled for the 17th. But Advanced Heating and Air said that if they got the part in sooner, they would come out sooner. I called them this morning and the girl said she would call over to wherever they keep it to see if they got the part and she'll call me back. I'm still waiting to hear back from her.
Overall, we're satisfied with American Home Shield that's why we keep them. Their monthly dues used to be a lot more reasonable than they are. But usually, we have very good service and the problem is taken care of. They've had to replace the well pump in this house already. They replaced our dishwasher. They replaced the clothes dryer because they couldn't fix it. They do do what they say they're going to do. Sometimes the contractors aren't the best, though.

Coastline Appliance came out and checked my refrigerator. It was the fan motor, the compressor was shorting out, and a third issue. The repairman was very thorough. Other people had been coming out and telling me nothing was wrong with my refrigerator. I knew something was wrong with it 'cause it wasn't getting cold enough. I was losing my food. When Coastline Appliance came out, the repairman went over everything and checked it all again. The other people didn't do half the stuff he did. The lady before Coastline Appliance told me over the phone something was about to happen and it hadn't happened yet. But they never came back and closed it. It started getting worse. I called back to have someone else come out again. That was when American Home Shield sent out Coastline Appliance 'cause I didn't want either one of the other two that came twice on both with each time.
The only thing I didn't care for was the fact that for the refrigerator, they tell you to replace it or replace parts. But to replace the refrigerator, I still had to come out of my pocket. They said that they only pay you the discount that they would pay. They send you to the Whirlpool site to get your product and you don't have to come out of your pocket. But they don't ever have it so I found one on my own. I went and I bought it before I even got the check because I had to have a refrigerator. I had already lost a whole lot of food. But I got the check in the mail yesterday.
If American Home Shield couldn't get somebody to fix your issue or it wasn't worth fixing, they will send you something. But they don't replace because they're only giving you X amount of dollars and that's not what it cost to replace it. Also, I don't like the people they send out. A lot of them don't know what they're doing. It was only two people I had good experiences with, and that was Coastline Appliance and Prime Masters Plumbing.

I like the service that American Home Shield does. My experience has been somewhat mixed. I raised service requests ever since we’ve been in the house. AHS has different contractors tied up with their company, and the same company came out, and they were slacking. They said it's a preexisting condition. I had to work with someone, and AHS had to send someone back in again but I was going with the problem for the next one week until someone actually was able to come back and reinspect it and take care of it right after that. It was a small fix, but the guys could not take care of it. I like the way that people were addressed though.
This morning, I raised a complaint regarding my washer that was broken but I'm getting a date one week from now. It is not clear to me why it takes that long for someone to come and inspect something like an appliance that is broken. I'm pretty new with American Home Shield, and the service has been good. At the same time, the pricing is not the best. I am getting really competitive pricing offers from other players. I'm trying to see if I could probably work out with AHS to compete at a similar price.

I have always followed up on whoever was coming to make sure that they had been notified by American Home Shield to make sure they were coming and qualified to do the work necessary.
For the last two weeks, I have not had a refrigerator or freezer that functions. The gentleman that came was very nice. He explained to me that my Kenmore refrigerator is actually made by LG. His company was not certified or approved to work on LG appliances, because it was the compressor that needed to be fixed. He was nothing but kind. He said he would talk to his boss and get back to us. Come to find out, the refrigerator is eight years old. We've only lived in our home for four. So we found out it was still under a 10-year warranty from Kenmore. Upon writing to American Home Shield, they refunded the $75 service fee that the last company charged. But when people call them, they should make sure that they assign service people that are in fact, certified for their particular brand.

We have two air conditioners on our house because we have a long house. The one on the east side of the house was making a loud noise. I knew something was wrong because it never makes that noise. That was when I called American Home Shield and said, "The air conditioner on the west side of the house is making a large noise." The tech came from Gibson Air. And he told us what made the noise was something that was broken. It was broken in the condenser. And he needed to order a part. The air conditioner is working, cooling the house somewhat, but making that loud noise. I dealt with the loud noise. It's going to be fixed. And when the tech got the part, he came and put it in.
American Home Shield kept us updated. The tech expected the part to come in by Thursday. "I'll be there Thursday." And he texted me and said, "The part did not come in. I'm still waiting. If it's here on Friday, I'll be there Friday." However, AHS has a lot of their service outsourced. It's very difficult, when you're frustrated with no air conditioning and you're trying to deal with a language barrier. And you can hear the chickens clucking in the back.

And he was very happy to answer them. He was very good. I liked his attitude, his professionalism, and his willingness to answer questions.
American Home Shield sent out two very good guys on the other things. There were four calls on the icemaker. First, it wouldn't work. And it took a while. They finally sent out a factory-trained repairman as opposed to a general repairman. And he got it fixed. But the first guys that came out said, “You need a new gasket here.” So, I got a new gasket for me and put it on the freezer. I didn't realize it was a problem, but they did. I also had to have my air conditioner worked on. American Home Shield couldn't get anybody out for over a week. And no air conditioning in the middle of summer. So, they had me find one.

The toilet would not flush properly, and he lied and said parts were missing. Parts weren't missing. They were brand-new parts in there. That toilet never got fixed, and I ended up coming out of my pocket buying a new toilet and putting it in myself.
On another instance, I had a pinhole leak in my outside AC unit refrigerant line, and the guy from the company American Home Shield sent out told me, “Well, we found the leak,” but he also said, “I can't fix it until you pay me for the refrigerant and that's going to be $980.” I have an old unit, and I told him I already have my refrigerant, then he told me he wouldn't do it. While the technician was there, I called AHS and asked, “Is that American Home Shield policy that the technician cannot use the customer refrigerant, he has to use theirs?” I was told, “Well, that's up to the technician.” So, I got screwed on that deal.

He said that eventually, it will do it again. But it just depends.
The technician was great and I liked him. I was a little apprehensive at first because he drove up in a little beater truck and thought it was weird. But he was probably the most personable person we've dealt with ever, as far as coming to do repairs because some people are rude. He was very friendly and he explained what was happening and what the issue was. He showed us what he was doing and walked us through the process, which was cool. Normally, people fix things and don't want to tell you anything. But he gave us some ways to prevent the problem from happening again.

I like not having to go out and find contractors to do work. I can just contact American Home Shield and they would send in a reputable contractor. And just having to pay the fee and not whatever the cost is of having the actual work done. Before the tech he came out, the water was fast drip to near poor. And the first time he left, it was a slow drip. That was when I contacted AHS to have them come back, and he resolved that issue on his second visit. Everything now is working. I'm having an issue with one contractor. It was on a call about my icemaker not dispensing ice. I've got the same response from the contractor. He said, “Don't put so much ice in it.” When I bought it, it worked with whatever amount of ice I had in it. My other experiences have been fine.
We got a new stove because our stove was leaking gas and wasn't working properly. It's a little misplaced because there is an outlet behind it that fit perfectly behind the old stove. But with the new stove, it doesn't, so it sits out an inch more than it should. And the dishwasher went out. AHS replaced that. I also have a new furnace.

I have been using AHS for years (and was happy about it) but now it got terrible. If you are looking for a $100/month membership without the benefits of a home warranty... this is the one! Coverage is very tricky (they made money... for sure). When it's covered... it takes months to get repaired (from my experience with appliances). When it needs to be replaced: months to get your check. And when you want to cancel... they charge you a fee to make sure you never come back ($70).
We do appreciate your feedback and apologize that this issue has caused you to cancel your warranty. It is not our intent to cause a difficult experience, and hopes that you would consider joining the AHS team in the near future. Have a great day!

The first guy that they sent out for the hot water heater was off his rocker. I had to throw him out of my house. I told American Home Shield not to ever send him again. That was when they sent out Whitney Holdings. It went fine. The second issue was the electrical and American Home Shield sent out the same guy that first came out for the hot water heater and he had no idea what he was doing. We had a different plumber come out. But they couldn't figure it out with the hot water heater. They were trying to say that all this work had to be done, and that we had modified the house, which we've never done.
American Home Shield wouldn't cover it because they were saying it was some kind of a clause in our warranty that says they don't cover modifications. That was when I had them send out a second opinion, which was Whitney. Whitney came out and did the second opinion. But for whatever reason, we had to pay for the second opinion out of pocket. It was around $257. American Home Shield would not reimburse me for my $257 because they said that the electrician didn't call them to get permission. I still have to call them and fight with them about it. But it's exhausting because, when you call in, you get a call center in the Philippines and they don't have power or authorization to override or do anything. You never get somebody in the US. You never get somebody who can actually do anything about your problem. When it works, it works well. But when it doesn't work, it works really bad.
I understand the concept of offshoring customer service to a degree. But at some point, you got to bring it back on land here if the consumer is not getting the desired results or communication that they need from the company. All they're doing is sending you in circles. It's a never-ending circle. You're chasing your own tail. When you're talking to them, they completely do not understand what you're saying. The plumbing in the Philippines is very different than the plumbing in the United States. Just because they speak English doesn't mean they understand. American Home Shield has such a good product. But the way that they make you run in circles makes you feel like you're being taken advantage of and that it's not what you signed up for.

The air conditioner was working fine, but the heat wasn't cutting on. So, I submitted the claim online. Somebody called me within 30 minutes. Had an appointment for the next day. He came out and met us at the house. Went in the attic. Was there for five minutes. The heat kicked on. It’s running great. And he just said everything was installed but it just hasn’t been cycled once or twice. He made sure it’s working.

The coil in our compressor on the outside was out. It took about seven days to hear back and that was excessive. The contractor came and when the guy was leaving, he told me what was wrong and what needed to be replaced. Then they came back and told me the uncovered things. It's ridiculous with today's inflation. I signed the initial contract with American Home Shield 10 years ago. But today, you find out that they are only gonna pay $10 per pound on the Freon. They need to revisit that.
The contractor was pretty good. But they weren't workable. I told them, “Hey, listen, this is what you need to do. How about if I purchase this and y'all do the work?” But they were unwilling to do that because they wanted to make money. I could have purchased the Freon at cost and the other parts and then do the labor, but they wanted to gouge me on the Freon. They told me that they had to put these little locking clips on where you put the Freon in. I could buy those on Amazon for 30 bucks, but they charged me $180. That’s out of control. It's ridiculous.

I had an issue with a tankless water heater. I called American Home Shield and spoke with a representative. I had two service calls on the same thing. One company that came out was fairly helpful. But the other one wasn't very helpful. The first technician that came out did everything possible to talk himself out of doing any troubleshooting on the unit. There was an obstruction in the vent hood on the unit and the only thing he did was point out everything that was installed wrong. So there were a couple of items that I tried to explain that he could troubleshoot. I understood that he was saying some of the things weren't up to code. But the issues that he could troubleshoot, he didn't do them.
The second tech did a better job of explaining things and troubleshot what he could on site. He was professional. I was given some items that I needed to correct on the unit itself, which I corrected. I changed the vent system to the proper vent system. The only thing that's left to do is put in a bigger gas line. But if American Home Shield is going to sell a home warranty, then they should come out and inspect the property first for the items that they're going to cover, and not come back after the fact and tell you that you have a bunch of code violations. They're selling a warranty sight unseen.

They went up and proceeded to look at what was going on and immediately knew what it was. I thought it was my Ring camera that just got installed, but he looked around and said, "You don't, it's actually one downstairs in your half a bath. Come with me."
So, I showed him where the half a bath was at, and he pushed a button and said, "This right here will work all of the bathrooms if you have a short."

But there are some things that seem like maintenance that a company should handle that they don't, like pumping out the pipes. I'm constantly running a snake down our pipe tube to make sure that they drain right. But overall, I'm happy with American Home Shield. We've been customers a long time. They replaced our water heater. Their contractor came out and fixed our stove. What is deceiving a little bit is it's $75 per task. What if something takes more than one task to fix it?

I've always had good service from AHS. About four weeks ago, I called and told them that my dryer was broken. They sent someone out to see it and he had to order parts. We waited for the parts to come, that was about a week, then he came and put them in. I also told him that the barrel was just circling and squeaking. I figured the rubber thing that holds the barrel on and twirls it around was wearing out, but he didn't change it. As soon as he left, I turned the dryer on and when I put the first load in there, it broke. So he came back. AHS said that he was going to have to order the seal to put back on it so it'll spin. So that was another week. When we didn't hear anything, we called them and they hadn't ordered the part yet. So that took another week. Finally, they just never ordered the part to fix it the third time and we still don't have a dryer.
They called my son a day ago and said that they ordered the part and it's going to come here. When it gets here, they said to call them and they'll come and put it on. Now, it's been over a month that we have not had a dryer. We've been waiting four to five weeks and when that part comes, it's going to take another week before the techs get here. They should have overnighted that part they needed since we'd waited over a month and still have no dryer. That's not acceptable service to me when AHS takes money out of my checking account every month and I pay them on the same day.
When I called AHS and talked to a girl, I wanted to talk to a supervisor and she refused to let me speak to one. And the strange thing about that is, about a year and a half ago, I had the washer and dryer that matched and I called AHS when the dryer broke. They told me, at that time, that you could no longer get parts for that dryer because it's too old. So they bought me a new washer, which I was very satisfied with. But now, it's the same dryer that's 18 years old. Where did they find the parts for the dryer if they didn't make the parts anymore for the washer that matched it?
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you about your ongoing concerns.

I really like AHS. When they come out to do service to whatever it is that you're calling them for, I have a good rapport with the people. They do what’s needed. They fix what's broken. The only problem I have is that sometimes you have to keep calling them back to find out when the people are coming. Since I've been having different people come, I've had one bad person. Then I had another one that took a long time to submit their report. But overall, they're great.
Outlaws Heating came out recently for air condition issues. They fixed it. He was very professional. Unlike the man that came out for the toilet and the faucet, he was ridiculous. He was just lazy and didn't want to do anything. When I called American Home Shield back and told them, they sent somebody else out. That was great. The second one they sent out was better and I was glad that they were able to fix the problem. I'm very satisfied with AHS.

With American Home Shield, I am not worrying about the different specialties that can go wrong in the home like plumbing. I have the option of either waiting for a contractor to call and schedule or call myself. I called myself because I didn't wanna be out of a dishwasher with a family of four. I got lucky. A contractor came out right away. They treated me with dignity and respect. They didn’t make me feel stupid even though it was a simple fix. I asked if I could watch so I could learn. They said it was not a problem. They made me feel welcome to be part of the process. It was a favorable experience.
I've had to use American Home Shield at least six times. One time, their contractor came to do an air conditioner repair. They said, “We can either repair it today or we'll have to order a part.” After they left, there were some weird wires on the outside of my air conditioner. It was extra noisy and I kept waiting for it to just die. Except for that one air conditioning experience, all of the experiences have been pleasant.

When my garage door was broken, the first time that AHS sent out a company, they couldn't fix it. They were saying that both springs needed to be fixed at the same time because if you fix one spring, it'd be too much pressure on that spring for that door to go up and down. So if one spring is only fixed, the other spring would break. They could have told AHS about that and the thing could have been done months ago. Instead, it was a waste of time and I was still charged for them coming out
I called AHS back and they sent out Diamond. Their tech said that they only had a work order to fix one spring, so the guy fixed that. A couple of days after that, the other spring broke. So, I called AHS back and asked their rep if the warranty says spring or springs. She said that it says springs. So she put in another work order. But when the techs from Diamond came out, they said they couldn't fix it because it was the same work order as the one they fixed before. So I called AHS again, waited another week now, and the lady put in another work order with the correct invoice for the second spring. The techs then came out for that and fixed the problem last week. They had a good knowledge in everything. AHS is also a good company. If there's a problem, they usually try to correct the situation as soon as possible. Plus, I can call them anytime and somebody will pick up.

Then they delivered and installed the new hot water heater on Tuesday. We were happy with the contractor. We've also been happy with the service and the partnership we have with AHS. They've been reliable. We've had them since 2016 and had several different claims over that time. Some took a long time to get parts and replacements, but that was more of the supply chain issue than their issue. Other things were addressed really quickly.

Calling American Home Shield is a nightmare because you get put on hold forever. But the website is quick. I just log my service then somebody contacts me right away. We had our air conditioning replaced this summer. We had an amazing contractor but I wasn't overly pleased. That whole air conditioning process could be more streamlined. There were several days before they got out. Then they said the coil was bad, and we had to replace it But they don't make that coil so it could take a couple weeks till they could find a coil. We had been without air and it was 110 outside. We decided we were going to pay for the air conditioning ourselves and skip the whole thing. It was a 20-year-old unit so if we had repaired it this summer, it's likely to go out next summer. We could have waited another week plus with no air.
Overall, we've been very pleased. American Home Shield has replaced a lot of other things and when they've had to be replaced, we've had very nice choices. Recently, several of our outlets stopped working. We called American Home Shield then an electrician came out. He said the breaker was bad. He repaired the breaker.

AHS is a ripoff company. I filed a complaint about my AC unit that stops cooling after about 45 days when I bought the policy. They refused to repair the AC claiming that it is a pre-existing condition. The Tech told me that gas has been leaking and condenser may need to replace and informed that leak may have started long time ago but you will know only when the gas has drained completely. Till that AC will keep cooling and that is what happened and as per Tech it may take one week to months or a year for the gas to discharge completely it depends on the size of the leak. On the website of AHS it is written that "Undetectable pre-existing conditions" are also covered.
When I called they told me, "You could have discovered this by simple mechanical test by switching off/on the AC," I asked why I would switch off/on the AC when it is cooling? And even if I do that how I will find the problem. I am not a Tech & don't know much? But they keep telling me, "We can not cover this repair as it is pre-existing." I wish I had check the ratings before. I found they are no. 5 on one website and no. 3 on another one and my friends also warned me about AHS that they do not cover many valid claims. AHS is a RIPOFF COMPANY. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

They had lied about what they did and they're not allowed back in my home. They need to be removed from the database. On my trash compactor, American Home Shield was gonna go ahead and replace or I can buy one. But they don't ever have any in stock. I had to call every week to see if they had something in stock. If they know I need it and they don't even have an appliance to replace, then why can't they call me when they get it in? I have black and stainless steel appliances. One time, they had white. They were only offering me 400 for the appliances which odd because they're a thousand and some dollars.
Other than those, I'm happy with American Home Shield. It's cheaper for me to do it. It's like a savings account. When something goes out, I know it's gonna cost me $100.

The techs came out recently for a refrigerator. I had no ice, no water, and no lights inside the refrigerator. I waited two weeks and the part did not come in. But the guy said they'd get me the part, so they got me the part somehow. And a week later, the tech was out. The guy was nice enough and it took him a long time to fix whatever he was doing. He then was able to fix the lights and the water. However, the ice was still not working. He said it was frozen and he did something else. Then he said I had ice but I told him that one of these drawers that you put your cold cuts in no longer works. There's a button that you push to say do you want this drawer to act as a defroster or deli and that was no longer working.
He also said that I could have ice and water, but the alarm was going to go off every minute. I asked him how we could turn that off and he said we couldn't. But I told him that I didn't want that alarm going off, so he did something to turn the alarm off. I also went on my computer to look up the manual and he figured out how to turn the alarm off. But he didn't fix the drawer that's not working. He said he'd come back and after he left, the next day there was still no ice in my icemaker. So he didn't fix the ice, and he broke the drawer.
I asked him what to do about it and he said they'd contact American Home Shield. The next thing I knew, American Home Shield scheduled another company to come out to take a look at the refrigerator. I called them up and asked why it was another company and they said because the previous one, Elite, said that I kept telling them new things that were broken, and that they've already fixed the refrigerator. I told AHS that that was not what happened and the refrigerator is not fixed. So now, I'm waiting three weeks for the new company to come out. It's ridiculous, and Elite and American Home Shield sucks.
I called AHS up and told them I can't wait until November 24th for the techs to come out to fix my ice. It’s Thanksgiving and if they don't fix it, I have no ice. And so they said they'd try to find me another company. They then called me back and said I was on their cancellation list, but they couldn't find another company. The worst part was, after Elite came out for the refrigerator, they asked for a feedback and I gave them positive feedback. Then they called American Home Shield to transfer me away from them.
Other than that, when my oven broke, AHS sent out a company that took out the parts to have them replaced. That was in August of last year and by February this year, no parts ever came back and they lost the parts. I had a double oven convection and AHS said they'd replace it. But what they wanted to replace it with did not fit. They said it has the same features but I told them that I’d have to get one that fits. They said it was not available for six months and if I couldn't wait, they'd give me $1,200. In the end, I told them to give me the $1,200 but up to this day, I still don't have an oven. We had to buy a countertop oven that we're using.
