    I submitted the claim because my upstairs heating system did not work. Amazing Comfort came around four times and it was a different issue every time they came out. Initially, they said it was a relay switch. Then they said it was a motor and it took three weeks that motor got in. By that time, I spent the whole summer without air and I had to call them to follow up. When they brought that motor in, it was an aftermarket motor and it was so loud that I couldn't even sleep in the house. So, I told them at that point that I couldn't have this motor. They said they'd see if they could do something and that they'd talk to someone, But nobody did anything. When I called them back, they said there was nothing else they could do and that they closed that ticket out.

    I had to call in another ticket to AHS and pay another additional fee. It really didn't make a lot of sense to me about why I had to start over when in fact the contractor had not completed the job to my satisfaction. But the rep gave me some extenuating circumstances, which I didn't quite understand. At that point, I was so frustrated with trying to get some air conditioning and I just went on and paid another $70 to get the process started again. I also told the people at American Home Shield that I didn't want Amazing Comfort coming back to my home. Then, I got TC Homes. Their tech said it looked like the motor was an aftermarket one and it was not positioned right. So, they ordered another one, came back another time, and installed it. Since then, I haven't had any problem.

    American Home Shield needs to have a plan in place for people with special needs for holiday and weekend times. When they need help with something in their house, they should have a list of contractors who will work with them on holidays and weekends. Also, if AHS is going to tell you that they're going to have somebody get back to you within a certain amount of time, they need to be aware that they have told people that and keep track of it somehow. And if they give you a number to call the repair people, they need to know that somebody is going to answer that phone call, if you call that repair. Because a lot of times, if you call the number, it goes to an answering machine. If you call Friday before they close, and they don't check their messages before they close, you don't hear from till after Monday.

    A1 Mitchell's Heating & Cooling is very honest. They have worked on my unit before and they've been doing a very good job. Recently, the unit wasn't working again. They had some adjustments to make to it. Another time, they had to put freon in it. However, American Home Shield hires people that can't speak very good English. It's very difficult to understand them. Sometimes the phone will ring and ring but we can't get ahold of them when we have a problem. I'm very unhappy about that. Also, it takes so long for them to get in contact with us. We have to keep after them to get results.

    I put in a claim for the hot water heater but it was never approved by American Home Shield. I told them that the home was new to us. The contractor came out and checked where the water heater comes out. They saw two little wires that had caught fire. Because of that, we were rejected because they said we had caused it. I told them we recently moved in here and those wires had to be replaced because it was not letting the spa heat up. They said that my policy doesn't cover the replacement of the wires. I was very dissatisfied.

The condo is located 15 miles from Sacramento, California and sometimes, it's hard to get somebody who wants to come out to Woodland to fix anything. So, we end up having to wait a little bit.

    My fridge needed repair. I scheduled for service online and got a call the next business day. A person came out and ordered parts. This was followed by an install once the parts came in. The only delay was for parts as they're hard to get. That aside, the technician was among the best that I've ever seen. I also had a claim for my Ac and that was an easy repair. There was great scheduling and the people were professional. I have peace of mind with American Home Shield in case of a major issue. All was well.

    I have been with American Home Shield for over 20 years for different policies on different properties and there's a lot that can be improved upon. I signed up for well pump coverage and it did not get added to the policy. When I needed it, I couldn't get it because they didn't believe that I added it. But I don't have any control if I asked the agent to add it and they didn't. Also, the wait time over the phone is extreme. My mother and father are 93 and 94 respectively and they don't know how to use the computer. It's criminal that the wait time is like that. That aside, I can't imagine not having a home warranty. It's just not very user-friendly. As a business owner also, I prefer to err on the side of the customer even if it cost me money. In the long run, it will pay me because they won't be talking smack.

    I had a claim for a spa repair and the technicians that came out had been out here before. This time, the technician was absolutely fabulous. He got everything installed. But the parts were bad and he had to take them all out. He ordered new ones and came back. He wasn't angry about it. We would use them again. But there was one thing that he didn't fix that I need to call about. I'll have to put in a new service order for it.

    Recently, the water on the washer wouldn't come in at all. The tech was a very nice young man and he has been here before to work on our clotheswasher, and one other time to work on something that we had. He looked at the washer good and tried to fix what the trouble was. He was and polite and went out and talked about looking for parts. He came back and said those parts were not available. It was an old one and we've had it since ‘95. After that, we had a choice if AHS would replace it or us to go out and get one. So, we went over to Lowe’s and bought one, and submitted the bill to AHS. They gave us back $400 something on it because we paid 700 for it. Everything was all right. Go ahead and get AHS.

They activated the contract in Oct. I created a service request after 10 days activation as I see my AC unit power was tripped. They sent the technician for inspection. After inspection, they sent the additional payment request for the cost. I agreed to pay as I am aware of my plan coverage. After 2 days they completely denied the service request. I spoke to 3 different customer service members. Each person said, different reason. Very poor customer support team. They said some technical terminology, which common people will not understand. They said as per agreement policy #### this was not covered.

    Finally I understood that request was rejected because, "This issue would have identified earlier by doing some regular check up". I really don't understand what should I check for a working unit? They also thought the issue might be exists before the contract (which is technically 40 days before).

    The AC stopped working and the tech replaced the condenser on the day that he came. I’ve only used American Home Shield twice and I don't know how great they are when it comes to emergencies, because usually, they’re air. The last time my water went out and I had no water, it took a couple of days before they got somebody. But the vendors are good.

    My washer wouldn't function, because the lock was broken and the door wouldn't lock. The tumbler wasn't going around. At the time I called, I talked to an agent, but she didn't schedule the service over the phone that day, because she didn't have anyone on the computer in our area. She had to look it up then call back later with who was gonna work on my washer. When the repair people came, it was okay. I was at work that day, so my sister was the one who dealt with them. Overall, I would recommend American Home Shield. I've had good experiences with them.

    I like American Home Shield pretty well. We've extended it usually every year from the initial purchase of our home. We've got some great use out of it. More recently, we had a couple of hiccups with our service requests. The last we heard was that I got some text that said, "Oh, we're assessing what your cost will be." So, I'm not sure what they're doing and what they know or what they don't know. They did the plumbing. We got through that, but we had another service request. As they always do, AHS quickly identified the contractor to complete the work. The problem we were having was with our front door camera. It's hardwired into the wall, like an interior of the house, but it has like the doorbell. It's not Ring, but it's a doorbell that works off of our Google camera system.

    I had notified the contractor in advance and said, "Hey, you know what? It wasn't just the electrical. Actually, it's the electrical that's in the wall that's causing our camera not to work anymore. So if you have someone who is familiar with Nest, that's the brand that we have with our camera system. So if you can have someone who is familiar with that to come and do the project, that's the issue that we're having." They said, "Okay. Great. We do have someone who would be familiar with that."

    They sent a technician over, and he was not aware of what the problem was. So, I explained to him what had transpired with me talking to the actual company. Then he said, "Well, I'm waiting to hear from my company because there's a chance we won't be able to work on it because of the camera system." I said, "Well, they didn't mention anything like that, but let me know how it ends or what the outcome is." He said, "Well, actually, our company is working with your home insurance to determine whether or not we can work on the wiring because now for whatever reason, it's not capturing our images anymore. We've got with your homeowner's insurance, and they said no, that we couldn't work on it."

    We've left that. I said, "Okay. Well, I guess that's the outcome then. But I don't want to lose my $75 because you guys knew what the issue was and can't work on it, and our home insurance company has denied the claim. And now it sounds like they're trying to get an estimate of what that would cost.” That was the only hiccup I've ever had with Home Shield. It is an issue because I've lost my money towards the repair of the product. I'm a little put off right now, but I have been previously very pleased with the home warranty.

The panel is old and some of the breakers that have been put in look like they're not in securely and a bunch of the wiring coming into it isn't being secured with clamps and to code. And the pool light is not turning on. There's a GFCI outlet that has the pool light and the spotlight downstream from it, and it keeps tripping. So, there are some faults happening on the lines with the pool light or the spotlight. They came to take a look at that. They said that the home warranty didn't cover pool equipment. So, they made a recommendation to do work on the panel, but that was not approved. So, no work got done.

I called somebody for a sink that didn't get fixed. I called someone for my washing machine. And the contractor was supposed to come back and fix it. They said they're waiting on parts, but nobody's coming back. They're personable. It's just that they're not returning like they say that they're going to. That is my biggest issue. It's very irritating.

    The only issue that I may have had with one was I was trying to get something done with my HVAC, and it didn't seem like the tech had a clue as to what was going on. Which was very strange, because this is what he was supposed to be doing for a living. Other than that, they've been really good and personable and respectful in the house. My real estate agent said that American Home Shield was a good service to have. That it is if it's the proper insurance and if they're following through like they're supposed to, but I don't feel like I'm getting that portion of it at all.

Then, within two months, our furnace went out. So, AHS sent a guy out who we absolutely loved. There were some major components in our furnace that had gone bad, so they ordered the parts, got them out here and got it fixed. And it cost me nothing more than my deductible of 125. The contractor who came out was great. It was the owner himself that was out here and that guy was honest and nice.

    Other than that, I'd recommend a little bit more transparency for other customers of AHS. We got lucky since our plan covered some of the permit process but from what I understand, some of the plans don't cover that.

It was easy to request service and the only issue that I had was on the day that they were supposed to come out, I went back into American Home Shield to see the scheduled time that they were going to come and it wasn't listed there. When I called United Air Temp, they said that they had scheduled me as an emergency visit. So, it was from 8:00 to 12:00 midnight and they were able to accommodate me and gave me a short timeframe. That way, I didn't have to wait around for them the whole day.

    We had a real good guy that came the first time. His name was Raj, and he fixed our cooktop and our washing machine that needed a component in it. Then he went over to the dishwasher, and he said, “Well, we need a seal down here. Let me get that seal and I'll come back.” He did that and then came back. But he said that it was still not working right. So he said, “Well, it’s the motherboard on this. And they're gonna have a hard time finding the motherboard for it. So it's gonna take you guys a little while, but you'll probably end up getting another dishwasher.” He wrote up the problem and then we never heard back from anyone.

    We would call American Home Shield and say, “What's the deal? The dishwasher needs to be fixed.” They said, “Well, he was out there. Didn't he fix it?” I told them, “Well, he put in a certain part, but he said that wasn't the reason. It needed a motherboard.” There was a runaround for the longest time. We'd call American Home shield and then they would call the contractor and then the contractor would say that they got the part. We would wait for a couple of days and then call back. But the next contractor would say that the part was not in.

    Somebody at American Home Shield finally got to the bottom of it and said, “You guys don't have the part. You've been saying this for the longest time to us and to the customer, and you must not have the part.” So American Home Shield got ahold of another contractor, ALUS Appliance. Then American Home Shield said, “Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna get you another dishwasher. Because the one you got, we can't get the parts for it.” So they let us pick one out online. Then they got ahold of another contractor. They came as soon as the dishwasher got here, which was perfect. They hooked it. They were great people. We really liked them a lot. ALUS is one of the cleanest contractors that I've seen. When the tech came in here and laid his tools out, he made sure nothing hit the floor. He had little containers for everything and he put a blanket out. He pulled that dishwasher out and even cleaned the bottom of the floor underneath it.

    I noticed the ceiling water damage. I did a claim with American Home Shield and a contractor reached out the same day which was a Sunday. They resolved the problem. We had to have them come out a second time because I noticed further staining. Then the condensate backup drain was leaking again, so it meant that they didn't clear the clog right the first time. The first tech told me he didn't see any problems when he was there the first time, but to call if it happened again within 30 days and have them come out. The other tech couldn't believe that the first tech didn't see it. But they fixed the problem and everything is working as expected. It's the smoothest warranty process I've had with the company.

    We had a leak in the steam pipe and this developed last year. I did a claim online with American Home Shield and I paid the $100 service fee. I was called soon after to set up an appointment. Within a week, I called back and I was told the claim was approved. Techs came out and looked at the issue. Four or five days later, they came out again and they replaced the steam pipe. It was about six-foot length that came out of the boiler. It was corroded and it was starting to leak. The techs were very good and responsive. I used American Home Shield probably three times in the last two years and everything has been well. They replaced the full hot water heater last year, which was a big job.

    I have people always have problems on weekends. I've had the furnace. But I also had one hot water tank go out on a Friday morning of the weekend of Memorial Day. So, my tenants were out of hot water for three days. They just call somebody or set something up without watching to see if they're open. And I've had that happen in the past when I needed somebody out there on another Saturday and I couldn't get anybody there. The air conditioner wasn't working. So, American Home Shield sent somebody else that only works Monday through Friday. There are people open 24/7. And there was one time when they did that. I called them up. and they said they couldn't. They are not going out until Monday, and I needed somebody out there ASAP. So, they said they would get back to me.

    But considering these are rental units, the nice thing about it is somebody calls me about anything. All I need to do is go on my phone and go on to AHS' website and tell them I need help. $100 later and it’s finished. There was a gas leak. The first thing I did was I called the gas company and they went out there to check it out. And they said there was a leak in a connection with the furnace. They turned off the furnace and they turned off the gas. AHS sent out a furnace person, found the leak and got the furnace working. It cost me $100.

    My air conditioner went out and AHS sent Air Majesty. The tech said there was a wire loose. He put it back in place and it worked. But two days later, it was back to not working. I called on a Tuesday for them to come back out. They told me that the techs would be out either Friday or Saturday. But someone didn't finish the paperwork because the techs didn't come out. So I went without air for a week. The tech from Air Majesty came the following Tuesday and he said, "You're low on refrigerant. That'll be $195." And so I said, "Okay."

    The tech also said, "You need to clean the outside of your air conditioner from lawn mower dirt and debris. We charge $390 to clean it." I couldn't afford that. When I was talking to the guy at Home Depot, he said they would do it for $49 and they would do a 10-point inspection. The tech did that and he told me, "You have a leak. The refrigerant doesn't evaporate because it stays in there. If you're needing to fill it up." He showed me stuff that was disjointed and also talked about how the furnace had cracks in it and that carbon monoxide could come out and kill me in my sleep. He pointed out a lot of things that weren't brought to my attention by Air Majesty. The tech went up to my attic and saw my furnace. So he would have had some inkling about the situation.

I told the GE technician that next Thursday would be fine. A technician came out and was here for two minutes. He said he had to order parts for the microwave. After ordering, he said that the parts were not going to come in for another month. He told me it was gonna be like August 25th. This was in the middle of July. Nobody confirmed any appointments. The parts came in two days later and were stuck in my living room for over a month. I was told that they tried to reach out to me. They have my contact numbers and my email. I received nothing.

    I called American Home Shield again and that's when they sent Steven, an appliance guy. Steven came on the first or second week of September. He looked at the microwave and said that the fuse was blown. The microwave worked for him but when I tried it at around 8:00 at night, the thing didn't work. Steven came back again and he says, "This is what we need to do with this," and he ordered parts. When the parts came in, Steven came back. It worked two times then it stopped working again. Steven came back again. After the fourth time, I asked why they just don't replace the microwave. It just made no sense economically or financially. This microwave costs $180. American Home Shield spent over $180 just to get these contractors in and out and then ordering parts.

    This microwave is one on top of the stove. The last time Steven came in, he fixed the microwave and everything was good. It's still working right now and I'm happy. Steven was super but he told me he had to play by the protocols of what American Home Shield puts in place. I am dissatisfied with American Home Shield's systems.

    It's important that American Home Shield gives good training to the people that handle the communications. Because I spoke with the insurance, and my wife explained what was going on, and the person that was abroad didn't understand or could not connect to understand what was going on. He mentioned it was the AC. So, they brought another company first. It wasn't AC. It was the water heater. A lot of people may work for the insurance, but they don't own a house or their house are different or they don't know the different kind of heating and AC systems people have here in America, so it's important to let them know.

    Finally, this other company called AHS again, and they called Liberty. They worked on the issue. They had to come back two more times as a recall because the issue was not solved. Finally, the issue is solved and we're not experiencing any more issues with the baseboard heater and the heating system that we have in our house. It's working better than it was before. Liberty was very professional and courteous. For me, plumbing is like neuroscience. So they explained, they took the time. The third time they came, they were at least five hours working. Not a complaint, they brought different technicians until they found the right guy that solved the issue. They tried some things, they didn't work out, and they tried again.

It's dubious language. When I spoke with their representative, they were going to refund me part of the payment. I later received a letter saying that they didn't find anything wrong. So, I haven't heard any more about the refund of the payment. But all other areas of their performance was good. They were efficient.

    The last experience we had went well. I've only had one experience where it was a nightmare. But that wasn't this last one. So, overall, we're happy we purchased the product and been a part of it. I noticed the pilot light on my water heater went out one time on me. I was able to get it relit, but it went out again and I figured there was a problem. My dad and I are relatively handy, but I knew we had American Home Shield. So, I didn't want to do things that would cause problems for me, in case there was something bigger. So, I called American Home Shield and they responded quickly. We had a contractor assigned and he was very good. He was friendly, informative and got it fixed up as quick as anybody could and everything has been good since.

    When the tech came out, he said that there was one piece needed to repair the water heater. They had to take it back and ordered that piece. They came back with that piece, then they said that wasn't working. The technician also said that the unit really needed to be replaced. But when I talked to their office, their rep was saying that they did not order the piece. And when they talked to AHS, they would say something different. I called AHS and told them that the contractor's rep was not telling the truth. She got upset with me because I called her out on her staff. So, when I called and gave her my name and address, she told me to hold on and I could tell the demeanor was changed.

    I got tired of the back and forth because I didn't have any hot water for a whole month or so and it was really frustrating. At one point, I had the contractor's rep on one line and I had AHS on another, then I merged the call, and she said that she was not allowed to talk to American Home Shield with me on the phone. But I told her that we were having lack of communication and it would be best for all three of us to talk together. She still refused and I told AHS that if I ever need any plumbing done, I do not want for them to come out to my house at all.

    I also didn't feel supported at all because AHS took the contractor's word over mine. They had a second company to come out and the second company said that the water heater could be fixed. But AHS took it upon themselves to go with what the first plumbing company said. And I heard that was wrong because of what the second company said. In the end, I had to get somebody from outside to come and do the job. And they came and fixed the issue quickly.

    Also, when I'm talking to the AHS representatives, I can understand them but they're not understanding my English because it’s always someone from overseas. Aside from that, my amount was 50 something dollars at first and when I signed up for the electronics thing, they said it would be $88 a month. But I'm getting a bill for 100 and something dollars. I called them back about that and American Home Shield's rep told me that has never heard of anything separating the payment.

    I like American Home Shield. The claim for the AC with Same Day Air Repair was great, other than they never got out the same day like they said. Right now, I'm having a serious problem with the contractor that American Home Shield put on a job here for a plumbing leak. There's a water supply leak in the wall of the shower. The plumbing outfit came out and located where the leak was. They said they were going to have a company come out and open it up and make things right in that respect. Then they'd be back that afternoon to fix the leak. That was two days ago.

    I called American Home Shield back late yesterday because it was obvious the plumbers weren't coming out and told them what was going on. They said they were gonna redo that. They were going to contact the same contractor. While we were talking I got a text from that outfit, wanting to see if they could set up a time. But it's just the natural way that things work. They're not paying any attention to the fact that this is a job they have not completed. They should be sending somebody out, not wanting to make an appointment for two to three days from now.

    Every time I call American Home Shield, it’s $89. The contractors come here for two minutes, and they go. That’s not fair. I don’t know if we’re gonna continue with them after the year or not. I've used them twice. The first claim was for the AC unit. It was a bad experience. The second one was worse. It’s not American Home Shield, it’s the vendors that they use.

    With the AC, I told them the downstairs was cooling, but not the upstairs. They sent a technician who spent less than three minutes inside my house. He walked in and was very disrespectful. He just went upstairs without taking his shoes off. He came downstairs and said, "You need a new thermostat that is gonna close automatically the downstairs and it’s open upstairs. It’s about $4,000. This is the paper. We don't cover that. If you want to work, give me a call.” I called American Home Shield. I told them that was not fair. I had no idea what he said. He just went upstairs and did absolutely nothing. He didn’t check the AC unit or the condenser. He just left. He said it was $4,000 to fix the unit but I fixed my AC for $300. The other guys came and said I got something on my ducts.

    The second claim experience was the most frustrating. There was a leak in the bathroom coming downstairs to the dining room, on the table. The lady was very clear. She said, “We’re gonna repair whatever is wrong, but not the damage that it caused like the ceiling, painting, etc.” The contractor came, took off where you turn the water on and off, put some tape, and left. On that same day, the water was coming down. I called in and American Home Shield said, “Sir, it's not us, it’s the vendor and the vendor cannot go today. Maybe tomorrow.” The next day, the same guy came. He looked at it, took it off again, and made a video call to his boss. He had no clue what he was doing and left. They could not fix it because they needed to change something, and it was not covered. I would have to pay $278 which is not a problem. I just wanted it to be fixed. They said, “It’s not gonna be today, it’s gonna be any other day.”

    At night time, my wife was gonna take a shower. She was about to open the water but found everything was on the bathtub. He didn’t put it back. I called and said, “You guys are ridiculous.” The guy said, “Sir, it doesn’t work anyways.” I said, “It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. You have to put everything back. You’re telling me that I’m gonna go to your house, do a job, but because I cannot do the job, I’m just gonna leave a mess, everything that I took apart?”

    I called the company and told them I didn't want any more business with them. The manager said, “Hey, I’m so sorry. I was the one on the phone with him. He’s new.” I said, “How do you send somebody that is new, that has no idea how to work to fix a property? That’s not fair. I’m paying money for this.” The manager hung up the phone with me but probably realized I was gonna put a complaint in. He called me back. He came early in the morning, and he fixed it. He had to remove some pipes, do some welding and put all the stuff. Now, it’s perfect. But it took for me to get upset and a lot of phone calls. They need some serious training in customer service.

    American Home Shield assigned Loyalty Plumbing to come out and look at the leak. The water was pouring all over our patio, coming out of the utility room where the water heater was. The plumber, Mark, pulled up in a truck and said, “I don't have a new water heater with me, but we can get one.” I said, “It's not the heater. It's underneath the slab, pouring out.” We turned the water on for him and it poured all over the patio. He said, “We’ll have to get a mitigation team out here. There'll be by in an hour,” and left.

    In an hour, this guy from EcoDry came and was sticking his prong in the sheetrock, saying, “This all has to be ripped out. I don't have the papers. Just sign on my phone.” The walls didn't need to come out. If they were going to reroute, they’d go through the ceiling, not where he wanted the walls taken out. It was put on until Wednesday. When Mark came out again and we turned on the water again, he said, “It's a slab leak. We'll have to put in a new claim to American Home Shield and get this done.”

    American Home Shield called and told us we had to pay $1,700. The proposal was for $2,700 to repipe, and American Home Shield was only paying $1,000. I said, “Fine. But they have to find the leak.” Loyalty Plumbing called and asked for my credit card. I said, “You haven't explained to me yet what you're doing. Are you going through the wall? Through the ceiling? What's happening?” The rep insisted on getting my credit card. I told her I was not comfortable with that. She said before they could start, I had to pay my portion. I told her she had to explain to me what they were going to do. I called American Home Shield back and they said I was responsible for 1,700. I told them I knew that and didn't have a problem with it but I wanted to know what they were doing. The rep said I'd have to give Loyalty Plumbing my credit card.

    I called Loyalty back, and the rep said, “No, we won't take your credit card. Our manager doesn't feel comfortable taking your card because you weren't comfortable with us taking it.” They walked away. It was an hour on the phone trying to get something else resolved. We decided we'd take the cash payout and get our own plumber because American Home Shield was not going to give us another plumber. They said, “No, You have Loyalty. If you have to start a new claim, then pay another $100 for a new plumber.” I did that and when they sent the payout, it was for 945. They said, "This does not get sent to you until you furnish us with a completion bill from the other company.” American Home Shield has not made us happy campers. I had spent, since Monday, at least 10 hours on the phone, waiting to be connected. You put up with them trying to get the water fixed but you're getting no answers. It's been very stressful.

    No matter what happens or who AHS used to get something fixed, it's always a very small company because they're never in a company car. It's their personal car with some tools in the back. They appear to cater to a certain demographic. I don't care who fixes my stuff. It's just a strange coincidence that no matter what it is, the people speak the same language. Sometimes it's difficult when you're trying to explain something and their English isn't very good. But I can deal with that. They're hard workers. They get the stuff done. They appear to have a good knowledge base on it. Skill set wise, the guy was fine. He had all the tools and got the job fixed.

    The biggest problem I have with American Home Shield is the time it takes to do stuff if something breaks. In most things, they will get your stuff fixed. But for what we pay, plus the copay, they aren't fast enough. Our refrigerator went out a few weeks ago and it took three weeks to get somebody out before it was finally fixed. Three weeks to get your refrigerator going when you have a warranty that's supposed to cover that is excess is too slow. So, I was not happy with that. If they could just speed up stuff, it would be a lot better.

    I bought the house on the condition that the person selling the house would have insurance to replace anything that went wrong in the first year that I lived there. And it was American Home Shield that they used. Sure enough, I had a furnace, air conditioner, and hot water heater go out within the first year and they were taken care of.

    Recently, the water heater's bottom had leaked. There was a hole in the bottom. All the water was leaking out. It was 10 years old. I submitted the claim, and within two hours, the company called me and made an appointment. The next day, the contractor came and checked everything out to see what was going on. The contractor was professional and respectful. They cleaned up their mess when we were done. I’d hire them again. It went pgood, except American Home Shield called me and said that I had to take a check because I would have to get it installed myself. Somebody said, “Well, you don't have enough room.” I don't know why, because I had a 50-gallon heater in there, and they put a 50-gallon heater back, and it fit in the same place.

    My expectation when I bought this insurance years ago was that they would be willing to help me when I had a problem. But all I got was, “We'll send you a check because we can't do the work. So, you have to call a company, set it up, and they'll install it. You pay them, then we'll pay you after you prove to us that it was done.” I’m not sure that the person that I talked to was even in this country, from the sound of his accent. I am very impressed with the contractor, but very unimpressed with American Home Shield. I am debating whether to keep my insurance with this company.

With this plumbing issue, the techs were saying that the valves were not covered. I’m coming out of pocket for that. Someone is supposed to be calling within 24 hours but no one called.

    This plumbing claim was for my water heater. It's valves for the water heater as well as the furnace. They said, “We don't install them.” I said, “It's already installed. And could you explain to me what do you mean by install? Because any time you come fixing something, that's like you’re installing it. Like when you had to put that AC motor back in it, you had to install it back in there. So, what are you saying?” He was like, "It'd have to already be there." I said, “The valve is there. I need to get it replaced.” It’s going in with the hot water heater. He kept telling me they didn't cover that.

    A rep told me she would put an order in and I would have to pay the $75 service fee. But I was then told they were not gonna be able to cover it. I hope I'm not losing $75.

Water was not coming out of it into the sewer line and a plumber came out and looked at it. He said he couldn't do anything and that we were gonna have to get a second opinion. That means I would have to pay for another service call. I called American Home Shield and told them they need to send another plumber out. Another plumber came out and he said the issue was a little cap that was in the disposal that wasn't removed.

    I've also had an electrician come out and he had to replace two electrical components switching off the light plates. Three weeks went by and I never heard from him. I called back and asked what was going on and they said he completed the file. They called him four times and said I can call him. I shouldn't be calling them. But he came back out and fixed it. I also had a pool person and he was a very nice guy but he said he would order the motor and that has not been ordered. He has not called back. We have no idea what's next on the pool so I have to call them back. It's been a very horrible experience.

    I probably will look for another home warranty. When Sears did the repairs, they left me what they were going to invoice American Home Shield for, and it was only $95. Is American Home Shield making money off my $145 copay?

    The guy came out and looked at the water dispenser. He determined what the problem was, and went to order the parts. It took 10 days for the parts to come in. It takes time to get parts. But that was fine. He came back and repaired it. American Home Shield is expensive, but it's worth it.

    American Home Shield is a one way communication to me. They are very aggressive, and there's no compromising. Nobody cares what to do. I am just with them because I am so busy I don't have a time to shop for it. If I have a time, I will definitely change. I have a monthly invoice for $75. But all of a sudden now it's 97. I called them back and they said, "This is our new prices." I said, "Well, did you not even think of speaking to a customer and telling the prices are changing by 20%?" They told me, "Oh, if you want, you can stop the services. Thank you. Bye." But the team that takes the order of anything broken is very good. The reason they're good is because they're sitting in the Philippines. If they were sitting over here, they will be the same like everybody else.

    The problem with the contractors is they are backed up. Once they receive a request, they have to do their own scheduling. So if there is something urgent, forget it. You will not get a service. By the time you call and somebody comes in, it's a three-day turnaround time. The main issue I have with American Home Shield is the person you are talking to. In any organization, if you are not satisfied you go one level above. But in American Home Shield, there is nobody. The person you are speaking to is the ultimate god. That's the only final person you're going to get to.

    My garage door opener failed. Repair people came out and ended up getting approval from American Home Shield to replace the garage door opener. They replaced it all in about four hours. It was outstanding. American Home Shield was really good. I had two claims in total and both were taken care of really quickly.

    I feel terrible about American Home Shield. I pay all that money for them sometimes and they send out some scuzzbucket to my house who cannot do the job that they are sent out to do. Whoever they send is working for themselves because they would tell me, “American Home Shield will not pay for this.” Why am I paying all this money if American Home Shield can’t cover anything? They send someone else out and they are able to do it. But that has not been the first time they've done that.

    It's nice having an insurance policy that when something goes wrong, it covers that. During the year, you wonder if you really need it. But all of a sudden, you have a problem and it's all more than worth it. American Home Shield just saved 500 bucks. Technicians dropped off a new washing machine and took the old one. We are entirely happy. We also had another claim where technicians came out and refilled the refrigerant of our AC. They were great guys.

    Our AC broke down. And because of American Home Shield's poor handling and non-responsiveness, we were without our AC during the hottest time of summer for two months and two weeks. They ended up getting it resolved after I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. But I still had plants that died in the house that were expensive, and food that perished. We couldn't keep everything cold enough. The house was upward of 98 degrees inside.

    My biggest thing is the lack of commitment. I had six different people who said that they would call but they never would. Every time I asked to escalate or speak to a supervisor or a manager, no one would let me. There was a communication issue that they maybe didn't understand sometimes what needed to be done or what was being said. But the fact that I could not talk to somebody to help me was a problem. That did get resolved. We continued our service with AHS. We have used them in the meantime. They're very responsive. They have implemented an automated system to file a request for service. I've used that. That went very smoothly. I was very happy with that.

    Here we are a year later, and in 100 and something temp. We had an issue with the AC again, the brand new AC that we just got done last year. But the contractor came out within a week. That was resolved. A week later, we had another issue. But this time, it was with the motherboard. The contractor came out within a week and we were able to get that resolved as well. So, I have been happy with the service, and the last two things recently and within the last three months that I have had to call and use. But our rate went up. I can see 5 bucks a month or $50 over the course of the plan for the year. But $15 a month is a bit. So, I called to talk to somebody about the rate increase. They said that due to inflation and cost of goods, everybody's increasing. But we probably will go out to shop and do some comparison.

    My washing machine went out and AHS sent someone out to repair it. The contractor said it broke because I overloaded it and AHS wouldn't buy me a new one. I said I want a second opinion and AHS sent someone else out. The second contractor said the same thing. I ended up buying my own washing machine. I also had a claim for a 15-year-old microwave that stopped turning. They sent out someone to repair it but it broke again. They called the original GE people and they said the unit is so old. Why didn't AHS just replace it? I hate their services. They are the absolute worst. I'm always shelling out $100 to wait two weeks plus to get somebody to come to look at something.

    I had to do five or six calls for the fridge. I was getting redirected to three companies that didn’t work with the brand. Even on the voicemail, those companies were saying that they do not work with a Kenmore fridge. After calling and explaining that this company I was getting redirected didn’t work with the brand, American Home Shield would send me to a different company that also didn’t work with the brand. I finally got with a representative that put me with Sears. After that, they ordered the parts and two weeks after, they did the work. It wasn't supposed to be two weeks after, but they changed up the schedule from September 12th to the 26th. They had a technician issue. I spent May until this month to get the fridge fixed. It was a long, tiring experience.

    The guy, Mike, was nice and patient, and the service was very good. The contractor was the second company that came out because the first one came out and then never even called me back. So, I was happy that this guy even called back. They were in Orlando and it took a while to get the parts. But once he got them, he came out on the same day, took my old one and put the new one in.

    You can’t reach American Home Shield by phone. It’s impossible. You call and you're literally on hold for at least an hour. The reps don’t speak English and you end up in this whole pattern. They aren’t able to help you and you don't have any service at all until you pay your deductible. But you have to have an American Home Shield Warranty. Otherwise, you put yourself at risk. This repair without them would have run probably $8,000 to $10,000. With the noncovered parts of it, it was about 2,000. So as a homeowner, I'm not going to be without AHS or some sort of warranty. I’m gonna go back with AHS again though they are not my favorite.

    I called American Home Shield and submitted the claim for my dryer. It was making this really loud screeching noise and it looked like something in the back was starting to come out. Also, the dryer door wouldn't stay open. You open the door and immediately, it would close again. Someone came out and everything was fixed except for the part where the dryer door doesn't close quite as fast. Unless I'm pushing it back, it'll close on its own again. It's a slower close. The tech did offer that if I pay $50 more, he would clean it all out and get all the lint out of the line. We did that. Overall, they were good and quick.

    So far, so good. I needed clarification at one point on what was covered and what wasn't, and we got through that. On the first service I needed, we got it taken care of, and it seems to be going good. There was some clog somewhere in the system. Because they couldn't unstop it at the main valve, they had to empty the septic and reverse flush it. They were knowledgeable, prompt, and seemed to know what we needed done. However, it took out a lot to get the actual right coverage sorted out. American Home Shield's wording on one of the paragraphs that seemed like the septic was not a separate coverage seemed like it was included as either once a year or once a contract thing, but it's its own separate coverage. That wording could be more explicit.

    The service has been good except for the last time. There was a hiccup as far as communication. I had a tech come out. He didn't have the part on his truck. He said he would go back to his shop, call me back and let me know what was going on. But he never called me back. I ended up calling American Home Shield. They told me that it was gonna be replaced, and I went that route. But there was too much timeframe in there to not take care of that service. We went 10 days with this deal before we got this taken care of. American Home Shield needs to make sure that they get back to the customers and let them know what's going on. I should not keep calling them back.

    The previous time, AHS sent me a contractor from Baltimore City. He submitted exaggerated estimates for us and he wanted to charge 1,500 from American Home Shield. He also charged me 500 to do work according to his estimate. He rejects the work and so AHS sent Champion Home Improvements. They submitted an estimate for me and told me what they were gonna do. The same day, AHS approved it and after a couple of hours, Champion came back and fixed all the shingles. They also saw some things around the vent and they covered that one. They replaced the damaged shingles on the front of the home. They cleaned the area and they did well. I appreciate their work. They did it on time and to the expected level of quality.

    I felt a lot of condensation on the heater and the heating guy who came out said it was a filter problem. I didn't think it was the problem, but I changed the filter and that was the end of that. I also had an extra filter, so I didn't need his help for that. So far, I'm monitoring the heater and seeing if there's more condensation.
