    I've had American Home Shield for a month, and it's been a very positive experience. I got a new condo and when I submitted request online for them to inspect the ac, the guy they sent was good. Everything was okay. I highly recommended American Home Shield. They were very clean, professional and fast.

    American Home Shield assigned someone to fix my dryer. I provided the dryer's information and company, and the technician was supposed to detect the issue and fix it. The person who arrived was so rude. He came a little late and I was taking a bath at that time, thinking that the technician may not arrive. My wife was there, and she asked him to wait for 5 minutes so that by that time, I can come out and explain the problem. However, he was not ready to wait. That was okay. I went ahead without taking a bath, came out and started explaining the problem, but he did not even look into the dryer. He just assumed some issue and said that he doesn't have the parts for that particular dryer. He went back.

    On the way back, he explained that there was some problem with the pulley in the dryer. I asked him, “Okay. There could be a problem with the pulley or the belt itself.” I asked him to bring all the parts next time whenever he comes so that he can fix all the parts at once. He rudely said that he will not bring all the parts. After that, I called American Home Shield and said “The detection has not happened yet.” I asked for a refund because the first $125 is supposed to be for the detection, and then the service charge, but the person did not even spend 10 minutes in my home to find the issue.

    When I called American Home Shield's customer care, I had a bad experience there as well. I asked them to escalate the issue because this was not the right thing to do for an insurance company. The rep said that he cannot escalate it further, so I asked him if he was the CEO of the company. There is always a way to escalate an issue until it goes to the highest level of management. The customer care rep was not that rude, but he did not do the work I asked. After that, I hung up. What else I can do? I will probably cancel the plan in a few days.

    I had a leak under our sink, and American Home Shield's online request for service doesn't have anything like that except “Pipes” or “The faucet.” So, I incorrectly chose the faucet because it's the line that goes to the faucet. When the man came out and looked, he said it was the valves and they probably need to replace them. So, he called American Home Shield and they said it was not on the service request, so the man couldn't touch it. He could do nothing, and it cost me $125 for the service call even though they wouldn't let him do anything. So, I was displeased.

    I have not spoken to AHS yet because I haven't had time to call them. Plus the last time I tried to call them, I spent an hour and a half on hold, so I haven't really wanted to waste the time because it would just irritate me. The man wasn't allowed to touch it, but he was allowed to stand there and tell me how to at least keep it from drowning the bottom of my sink so it's not a problem. It will become a problem again, and then I'll have to figure out how to word it so that American Home Shield will let them come in and replace the valves.

    I have been with AHS for years and my experience has been fairly well. It's just their online request for service has such limited selection criteria, and it doesn't have a box in there that you can type in your problem and clarify what the issue is. If they have that, it would make everything so much easier. They could fix that easily by putting a dialogue box there.

    Highly recommend you stay away from this company. Fall of 2025 they increased the price significantly and I was not informed. When I tried to cancel my policy I was left on hold at least 40 minutes. I have called numerous times since and was unable to speak with anyone in the cancellation department. I also sent a written notice of cancellation, and chatted with the company online. They keep trying to charge my credit card and have also threatened me with a collection agency.

    My air conditioner broke for the fourth year in a row. American Home Shield sent an incompetent company out. They look at it and the technician told me, "There's a mold in the plenum. But you got a leak in your A-frame, which is away from the plenum." But American Home Shield said, "Well, yeah, molds caused a hole in your A-frame." I worked in the oil industry for 35 years and I never heard about a mold eating a hole through aluminum. So I get stuck using their company having to buy a whole new air conditioner. With the way they were dragging their feet when it was 100 and some odd degrees with the heat index down here for the third week in a row, I ended up having to pay $14,000 out of my pocket to get a new air conditioner. They didn't care.

    When I had a claim for my washing machine, we had no washing machine for over six weeks. Then on the day that we were supposed to finally make the decision on them replacing it, the guy gets the part and I get my washing machine fixed. But when you watch the American Home Shield commercials, it sounds like five minutes later, you get everything fixed, which is just false advertising. They don't care about their customer. They keep cutting how much they'll cover. When I first started with them, they were supposed to cover everything to replacement. But they don't do that anymore. So I'm actively looking for a new company.

    I had a plumbing issue where I live. The service for scheduling and having someone come out was impressive. I placed my claim online through American Home Shield's app. The contractor called me for an appointment the next day. They showed up on the day of the appointment. However, I was not happy with the way technician acted. My bathroom showerhead leaked. He said, "It is gonna leak. Nothing can be done." If things will leak, why am I calling him? He opened it and he said, "It's still leaking. Nothing can be done about it." I said, "Okay. So, what did you do then?" AHS told me they would have the same contractor come out, but I don't want them to. I was not happy with their service. I haven't spoken to AHS again to tell them to send a different contractor.

    Urban Enterprises was great. They maintained their schedule. We had an issue with a part that was ordered wrong by American Home Shield, but that delay wasn't crazy. As soon as the part came, Urban Enterprises came in and installed it. We had dealt with Urban Enterprises before and it was satisfactory. We asked to deal with them again this time and American Home Shield allowed us to. We've had American Home Shield for about six years now, and it's been a very positive experience with them. I've told others in the past that they need to have American Home Shield. Although the pricing goes up every year, it has saved me a lot of money because of the use I get out of it.

    I'm getting ready to cancel American Home Shield because I don't get anything out of it. I placed my claim online for my leaking hot water heater. The contractor wanted to do a video review of the hot water heater which seemed they didn't care about coming out and looking at it. They wanted to do the shortest thing as possible and probably not spend the money to have someone come out and look at it. I turned the phone around and showed them the hot water heater. American Home Shield said it was wear and tear, but the way their contract reads is not how they proceeded with my claim. They said I would end up owing another $1,925 for it on top of the hot water heater. I have a new tank, but I went with someone else.

    I am so disappointed with American Home Shield. I cannot recommend them to anyone. The refrigerator stopped working and we reported that on November 10th. It is still not fixed. This is a 33-year-old refrigerator that American Home Shield sent the repairman out multiple times, and each time, he changes a part and discovers another part needs to be changed. I do not trust this repairman. I've asked for a different repair company to come in. I will not let the repairman back in my house. He's destructive.

    AHS is so rigid in the fact that they say that their contractors are all great and that this is just the process that they have to go through and they cannot do anything to replace the refrigerator until it is deemed unrepairable by the repair company. Tthe repair company has no reason to disqualify the refrigerator from repairs. They will keep doing repairs time and time again because that's what they get paid from AHS for. They will repair this refrigerator until our contract runs out. They will not offer a replacement.

    American Home Shield was recommended to me by a friend. Every issue I've had has been fixed. But I have to jump through hoops to get it done the right way. The contractor came out because my water heater was leaking. However, the tech did no diagnosis. He came, looked at it, but didn't inspect the water heater. He looked at all the components around it to point out all the things he would have to replace. He suggested maybe it's a bad pressure regulator valve. He put a gauge on my hose bibb outside. The pressure was 65, which is well within accessible range. But he came in and told me he had to replace that valve, too, and he would call AHS and let me know what they said.

    He went out to his van and talked to them for 20 minutes. He came back and said AHS will not cover me because it was determined that it was high-water pressure going to the water heater. He told me that he could do it for 3,400 bucks. I said, "Nope" because I didn't believe that he did any troubleshooting. I called AHS and told them I wanted a second opinion.

    AHS told me that if the report came back the same as EMET, I'd be charged another service fee. So, I requested the report. They said I'd have it in 24 hours. 24 hours went by. I called again. I was told that the request was never put in. But now that was put in and it happened in 24 hours. I still have not received the report. It has been about a week. I still haven't received the report that I was told twice I would have. The reps are very polite when I call them, but they're not effective. I've been unhappy with it. The second opinion people came out, came up with a different diagnosis, and replaced it yesterday. I'm good to go.

    Updated on 06/30/2026: I spent three months between November to February getting my AC unit fixed. It was a nightmare process. Now, only a couple of months later my unit isn't working again, and the technician sent to evaluate the problem informed me the original work is bad and needs to be redone. They were able to tell me the previous company (Fletcher Heating and Air) was a bad company, and they are always fixing their mistakes. I did not tell the new technician the name of the original company - he just knew. He stated their company has told American Home Shield this is a problem. Now American Home Shield will not respond to my attempts at contact to get this resolved.

    Original Review: I have a warranty with American Home Shield. My heating (AC) went out the week before Thanksgiving. I immediately filed a complaint, and a service company was dispatched within 24 hours and identified the problem. Since then, there have been continual excuses from the service technician at Fletcher Heating and Air and American Home Shield on why they cannot get my unit fixed, even though it falls within the scope of the warranty and is an approved claim. It is now January 2026, and my unit is still not fixed, with no date on when they will fix it. I have called daily and am continually told someone will call me from escalation, but I repeatedly do not receive these calls.

    At this point, American Home Shield is in breach of contract, and I will seek ways to resolve this through third parties. I have had this warranty for two years with no claims, and they cannot fix this claim, which is ridiculous and not the service they sell. At this point, it feels like a scam. My electric bill was $200 in December because I had to run auxiliary heat to ensure my pipes did not freeze in 20-degree weather, on top of the fact that I had paid the service fee.

    Previous information documented January 5, 2026. Update below from January 15, 2026. I have now gotten an estimate for the repair, requesting that I pay almost $800. However, the online estimate provided no details as to what is covered, what is not covered, or an itemized list of charges. I called their customer service center to ask for this information. They began explaining, but when I tried to ask why this wasn't covered under my warranty and pointed out sections that would mean these charges were covered, they just kept repeating that there was a limit that was not written in the contract. I asked them to please send me an itemized list of charges, which they informed me they cannot provide in writing. I'm sorry, I will not pay anyone $800 if they cannot tell me exactly what I am paying for. I also asked if I could speak to the authorization department to get a clearer picture of this information, but they told me I could not.

    Yesterday, I was told that my complaint had been escalated to the highest level of complaint, and because the complaint was so high up, I couldn't get any information because customer service has no way to get me in touch with that team, and "they are so high up they don't speak to customers." I am sorry, but if you are in a business with customers, at no point should you be too good to speak to those paying for your service. I was also informed that in emails between the contracted dispatcher and AHS, they wouldn't talk to me because I had submitted a BBB complaint.

    It is extremely inappropriate that at this point, I cannot speak to someone in the United States or Memphis who can actually talk to me about this issue. The only way I can speak to someone on the phone is to call customer service, which is being handled overseas, and they do not have access to transfer calls to the main office in Memphis for a real resolution. I do not feel that asking for a phone call from someone who is making coverage decisions to explain to me the decision process and provide me with an itemized list of charges being covered and not covered is too much to ask.

    This is the second claim I've made with American Home Shield in five years. I utilize whatever is most convenient in submitting my claim. I put it online, but I've called before. We had some plumbing issue. At first, the contractor said, "We can't do much about this because there were fears that the pipes would break." I submitted that I was unhappy with what the service was, especially for what I'm paying for AHS. They came back later, were able to pull the toilet off, and left me some extra wax rings. They tried their best to figure out what the issue was. The coverage only covers what's in the house or underneath the surrounding of the foundation. The issue never got resolved, but they did their best.

    I always argue what I get for what I pay for. There's significant value for large appliance ends or fails or something that needs to be replaced, but there are many restrictions on all the other things that AHS claim they cover that we're at the point of questioning if it's valuable for us. Evaluate and know well what's covered, and decide if it's worth your money.

    We had AHS for years because canceling was just a hassle. We used them two times. The first time for a refrigerator repair where they sent the lowest rated repair company who ruined the back of our refrigerator and it still didn’t work correctly. I contacted AHS who said they don’t guarantee the work and to contact the company. I contacted the company who basically told me to get lost. I then had to get LG involved to fix it properly. It has never worked the same. Then I was going to get an AC tune up and the company showed up an hour a half after the 8 hour time window and we had left and still charged us the service call and company reported they were here.

    I tried to use them a third time for a plumber but again they were trying to send out the bottom of a barrel plumber who I wouldn’t even want in my house. I called them and they wouldn’t change plumbers. Then when I finally got around to canceling them on 1/7/26 I was on the phone for 20 minutes ensuring a non stop high pitch sales tactic where I kept on asking them to just cancel and they told they couldn’t. I had to listen. I received an email of cancelation and they charged me again today. Horrible company. Run just run!

    I did the initial claim for my fridge three months ago and it's still not fixed. I had good interactions with the contractor in the beginning but it got sour because they have come up to my house about seven to eight times, and they still have not been able to fix the fridge. They keep telling me that it's fixable, but it really isn't. Because they've tried sending their senior people and they couldn't fix it. They sent the same parts over and over again. Even though the parts weren't working the first time, they ordered the same parts again and again.

    I told them to, "Please stop ordering the same parts. The fridge is not working. You guys have sent out all these people. Can you please just tell the American Home Shield the truth that you can't fix it?" But they refused to. They refused to say that it's irreplaceable or it can't be replaced. Their management refused to call me back. They gave me an email to email management. I've emailed them three times and they haven't responded once.

    I've had two contractors come out from American Home Shield. The first one said they couldn't fix it. So, they sent out the second one. The second one is the one that is pretty much billing American Home Shield, getting all the money for the parts and for coming out there. They refuse to admit that they can't fix it even though they've been out eight times to my house to get it fixed.

    American Home Shield doesn't call back. They repeat the same thing. They don't really review anything. I've been begging and pleading. I've been calling every week for three months to try to get this fixed and get it replaced, and they refuse to. I keep telling them, "This contractor, they are just milking you for money. They're lying. They cannot fix the fridge. Can you please replace it?" They just said, "Oh, we can't until we get an approval from the contractor." I told them, "But the contractor is not gonna give it to you because they just wanna keep billing you. They've been out. They can't fix it. They've sent their senior people. It's not fixable. And I've been without a fridge for over three months now." They didn't care. They kept saying, "Oh, well, we'll escalate it." But nothing ever got escalated. I never spoke to management. I haven't spoken to anybody and nobody calls me back.

    American Home Shield also told me that in my contract for the fridge, there's a limit of only $2,000. They said that out of the $2,000 that the other company has used pretty much all the money for them coming out the eight times. All that is left is $495. So, they're telling me that all I can get is 495 to replace my fridge, which obviously is not gonna replace the fridge. I even told them, "That doesn't make any sense. If you guys didn't fix it, you're supposed to replace it." They said, "Oh, yeah. But we only have 495 left." I told them that was not my fault. I called them every week, several times in a week, and I pleaded and I said, "Please stop sending the contractors. They cannot fix it. I just need you to replace it." But their response to me was, no, they need to send the people again because they have to be the ones to determine that it can't be fixed. I have two small children and no working fridge in the house.

    I put in a work order for my furnace through American Home Shield's app and when I went back in, there was no way to follow up on the open ticket through the app, so I wound up calling customer care. This was my first time having to call the home warranty company and when I tried to ask for an update on the status of my claim, the system wasn't seeing the ticket, so I had to ask for a customer care person.

    I was very unhappy with the way my claim was going initially when they sent out the first vendor, Sawyer Construction. I was upset about it and I had to press to get a manager. I requested a secondary vendor, and Central Valley came out with more knowledge and customer care. They were also more professional than Sawyer Construction. American Home Shield is slowly earning my trust.

    When Central Valley came to evaluate my furnace, they came prepared. They put their gauge on it to see what part was not working properly so they could see what was going on. They determined that there were two issues (two types of motors) and I was impressed that they could see where the initial problem was happening. There were a couple of challenges, but once American Home Shield authorized the work, Central Valley called me back, scheduled an appointment and came out quickly.

He proceeded to clean up and to unfrost the ice block so he can clear all the area. He noticed that there was an air flow that was going inside the ice maker that possibly that was the cause for the ice on the end of the ice maker that is precluding the ice maker to do the ice.

    Promise is made. Promise is not kept. Since American Home Shield (AHS) has been purchased by Frontdoor, Inc. their customer service and claim speed and accuracy has significantly suffered in my opinion. We made a claim for a significant leak in our plumbing and they promised to have a plumber to our location either the next day or the day after. Three days later, the plumber never showed to our appointmentand we called the company. I was told that they rescheduled us for three days from now. We called AHS and had the runaround for several hours including escalation and contact with the plumbers. Hey HS told us that they had spoken to the plumbing company and someone was going to come out to make the appointment that we had for that day. We called the plumbing company and they said no nobody called.

    We escalated again another two hours on the phone and finally the escalation person said we’ll have to wait for Friday cause they can’t do anything or go to a different plumbing company. Of course their rep told us on the phone that it was our fault that we made changes in the appointment which we did not do no phone calls. No heads up, no warning at all. CAVEAT EMPTOR buyer beware. We are currently looking for other alternatives. Impossible to contact corporate officers reps on phone do not know numbers or say they have the authority for that escalation.

They gave a total of four recall to get it fix which doesn’t include the first two times. The first they order the part. The second they show up with the parts. Then after that 4-5 more times to get it right hopefully. Still waiting. Going on for months. Please please don't take my word. Read the contract.

    The American Home Shield policy was transferred to us when we bought the house years ago and it’s been amazing. My husband and I are getting older. It's harder to get into smaller spaces and try to fix things and our appliances are getting older. I love that if the contractors come out and can't fix the unit, AHS would replace it. The economy right now is terrible and the cost of living is so high. So, American Home Shield has saved us. They do right by you.

    We had problems with our heat one season, and we tried a couple of companies that did a quick fix, but it didn't work. The kids were little then, and it was freezing in here, and we were gonna go to a hotel. Finally, a guy came out and said the heating needed to be replaced. AHS replaced our entire HVAC unit. One of the workers fell through the ceiling into my daughter's bedroom. But they took care of all of that, too. There was a time when the dryer was blowing a fuse due to lint clogging the vent. The technician from Beyer Appliance said it is supposed to be expelled through the pipe and it must be clogged because when that happens, that blows the fuse automatically, so you don't start a fire. He told us we had to call a specialist to blow that out. He replaced the fuse but told us not to use it until the company that handles that comes.

    I’ve been able to call American Home Shield’s customer service when there was a company I didn’t care for and they switched it. I’ve also called when a company couldn’t come out for several days and asked if they could find someone sooner. They searched and, oftentimes, were able to find another provider who could come out earlier. AHS is a type of coverage that everyone should have. It’s great for families because if something fails, they get you up and running right away.

    American Home Shield sent out United Air Temp to look at the repair work that was done by another company. The gentleman that came out said that there was nothing that he could do, that there were some items that were messed up previously by another company. I asked him to explain what he meant when he was telling me that there were some other items that were messed up, but he told me that he didn't know. He stated that he had the part to fix it. He attempted to fix it, but when he did, I wound up getting a gas leak in my house later on that evening. I've been exposed to gas for two days and was really bad off with headaches and nausea.

    They just wanted to go back and forth instead of fixing the issue. The president from United Air Temp was supposed to call me back, but he never did. He said he was gonna reach out to his legal department and they were gonna reach back out to me, but they didn't. American Home Shield didn't know anything either. They just gave me a check for $100 and told me to find another company to come out and do it. I had a really hard time finding somebody else to come out and do it. They did it, but it took about a month for the issue to get resolved.

    If you have American Home Shield, you have to stand firm in getting what they pay for ‘cause you pay them a premium every month. They only sent out another company to fix the issue once I threatened to sue them. If you have any issues with the overseas representatives, ask to speak to someone in the US that can really understand what's going on with your problem. Make them provide you with documentation of everything they do so that you can go back when a customer service rep say something that's gonna be done so you're not arguing back with 15 or 16 people who all have different stories.

I got on their website and sent in a chat to cancel my policies (I had 2). I was told that could only be done via phone. I called in and spent forever on the phone attempting to cancel. There is a huge language barrier. After telling them multiple times, "NO I do not want to continue, I want to cancel, I am canceling," I got off the phone. I later received a statement for a past due balance. I chatted in again, was told I had to call, called, was told they had no note that I canceled. I explained that I had canceled in June which is why no payment or services have been made since then.

    The lady refused to help then transferred me to the cancellations department where I was again told that I in fact had not canceled AND they refused to cancel the policy. Today I received a call from a debt collector. I have filed a complaint with the BBB as well. This company REFUSED to cancel your policy then continues to bill.

    Terrible company and tough to get a hold of. No chat or email options and no way to talk to anyone who can actually help other than an escalated callback days later. American Home Shield sent service technicians four separate times to address ongoing problems with my washing machine and dryer. Despite repeated visits, neither appliance was fixed.

    The dryer consistently failed to dry clothes properly. The temperature and dryness sensors stopped working, cycles took excessively long, and even after I paid out of pocket to repair the vent pipe to eliminate that as a cause, the dryer still did not function correctly. The washer had the agitator replaced, but afterward began frequently going out of balance even with normal loads. On the most recent visit, the technician said the washer was “fine” without recreating or resolving the issue.

    After multiple failed repair attempts and no meaningful resolution from American Home Shield, I was left without functional appliances and ultimately had to purchase a new washer and dryer out of pocket. The new appliances work perfectly, confirming that the old units were worn out and beyond reasonable repair. American Home Shield refused to authorize replacement despite the repeated failures, wasted service calls, and inconvenience. I believe this is an unfair business practice — continuing to collect premiums while failing to provide repair or replacement as promised. Would not recommend.

    When I explained to the customer service person the there should be no service charge, he said a new service call would have to be started with a new service charge. I disagree for the simple fact it is the same issue. If it was a different issue I would totally understand. But this is the same issue and for the third time. He tried to explain to me that the repair is only warranted for 30 days and would not escalate the issue to another level. I tried to explain to him that the problem was not repaired, only the symptom. The other day it went into anF15 alarm 5 times and had to through out what we were trying to bake.

    Covered my septic tank pump and other issues over the years. They have superb customer service. After every claim, there is a follow-up and I love that I’m sent a reminder to book a free HVAC inspection. We’ve been with them for almost 5 years, and it’s definitely worth the money. Home repairs can be costly. I have no complaints.

Although I was told I had $15000 coverage for the replacement of my HVAC, service partner/contractor did not want to repair my unit because they wanted to sell a new one or modify my unit with out of pocket replacement configurations.

    Working with this company has been the worst experience. They sent out a subcontractor and the technician who came out indicated that the equipment needed replacing. But they made the subcontractor write it up as maintenance. So I got a second opinion, and once again the technician indicated a replacement was needed, but when American home shield (AHS) denied the claim, upon investigation I found out that once again it was written up as maintenance issue. All this while I was paying annual maintenance for my HVAC through another company. The subcontractor then sent me quotes through AHS for replacing the unit., but AHS said they wouldn't cover any part of it. So an absolute waste of time and effort over 1 month, and more than 5 years of paying for this insurance resulting in no advantage at all.

    The contractor that American Home Shield sent out to look at my air conditioning unit completely misdiagnosed the problem with the unit resulting in a determination that it would not be covered under the warranty. The contractor then offered to do the repair outside of the warranty for $3,500. They were either completely incompetent or scam artists. Eventually I just wound up hiring my own contractor who properly diagnosed the problem and repaired it for $542, which included wiring things back properly that the American Home Shield contractor messed up when they were out here. Of course American Home Shield refused to do anything to compensate me for my costs and inconvenience. Now, I can't get them to stop calling me to renew my warranty.

    I have multiple American Home Shield home warranty plans in effect. I sold one property so need to cancel the plan, as is permitted. AHS does not provide for online cancellation from the account dashboard, but instead requires the consumer to call a number to cancel plans. I have done so, and after slogging through a poorly crafted phone tree, reached the line to cancel the plan. If I wanted to pay a plan premium or purchase a plan, I believe I would be speaking to someone in minutes, if not seconds. To cancel a plan, the line advised that there will be a 50 minute to one hour hold to speak to a representative. I listened to the hold music for 56 minutes before someone came on the line to then tell me he would need to transfer me to the "cancellation team."

    Simply put, the system is set up to make it difficult to cancel a warranty plan. For anyone trying to do so from work on a break, or from home after work, the system seems either to be designed to wear the consumer down so they give up or, giving AHS the benefit of the doubt, an allocation of resources that starves the "cancel plan" line.

    There have been a couple of issues with a few of the technicians. We had a problem with our heating system, and it needed to be fixed right away. The technician's truck broke down, and they didn't have anyone to send out. Instead of coming, it took four extra days for them to get out there. By the time they got out there, we had damaged it to our house, which wasn't covered by American Home Shield. I was frustrated by that. AHS should have sent someone else out.

    The contractor who fixed the water heater were very efficient. They got it done quickly and kept the appointments on time. They didn’t mess around. The technician was fast and professional. But the $100 fee is pricey. When you call American Home Shield and if it doesn't require that much work, that's an expensive call. Then, the technicians only do one thing. So, if you got a couple of items, unless it's the same, each one of those becomes a $100 charge. I’ve had two calls lately and it’s been very positive. The biggest thing is when you can only do certain things because the provider that comes is only a plumber versus if you had a handyman that could do multiple things on a call.

    If we're rating American Home Shield, I do not have a problem with them because when I had a problem they escalated it for me. But sometimes I would run into some vendors that couldn't get the job done. AHS has always been good with me, but I had a bad experience with ATL Agile. They were not competent enough. They had to come out 9 to 10 times to fix my refrigerator, and still didn't fix it. I had to go with another vendor. That vendor is the one that we've had before that still was through AHS. But they came out and had to evaluate it. They missed a thing on it. They came out to fix the second part but had the wrong fan. They came out for the third time.

    They initially came out because I got a controller board error. They fixed that problem. But when they fixed that, the ice machine stopped working. They tried to fix the ice machine, and it took seven additional visits. They kept replacing it, but it didn't work. It was the condensing fan with the compressor. Those two things weren't working properly. They didn't diagnose it. The last time they came out, they diagnosed that the condensing fan was bad. They will try to get approval from AHS to replace that, but I asked AHS to give me a new vendor because I wasn't sure if I was confident that was the problem. The new vendor came out, diagnosed the compressor but not the condensing fan. I could have told them that. I let them do their thing, and they ended up missing that. My refrigerator has been out for three months. Everything before that has been great.

    I have three homes on AHS. They've done great work. They've replaced one airconditioner in my other home. They've replaced the water heater in another without issue. The only thing is I always get surprised with these extras that are not covered, like Freon, and if I got a water heater that's older, when I gotta get a new water heater that's new standards, so I gotta pay the additional cost of those new standards. That's the only thing that I didn't like. But if I gotta upgrade the plan, it covers some of those. I reduced the cost because it was very expensive. I paid a lot of money. I went from being $30 to really $140, and I didn't like that. But I called AHS, and they were willing to bring it down to $60 something. I ended up picking a plan that was better at $90. It was nice that I was able to call in and negotiate with them to get a better cost on the plan and a better plan.

    When I first came around, Home Shield was great. We had a water heater replaced. The customer service has been good, except for this last deal that is just crap. We had a dishwasher that we turned in on September 21st, and we just got it resolved the other day. I called American Home Shield 25 times, but they kept giving me the goddamn runaround. I kept telling them that this guy that was working on the dishwasher was full of shit. I get that they wanted this guy that started it to try to finish it. But I said, "I can get this part in my hometown," I kept saying to him, "In one day. This guy's saying it's gonna take three weeks." Well, then three weeks came, and he still was jacked. He took a chip out of our countertop and denied it, and it's his word against our word. I'm just all ticked off about it. There's nothing Home Shield can do about that part of it, but we gotta get a new countertop because of the deal. The floor is no good now because it was leaking water all over. So, we gotta have half the floor replaced. That's gonna cost 1,000 bucks that we don't have. It's supposed to be fixed in 24 to 48 hours but it was far from that. It was a nightmare.

    I like that Home Shield answers the phone, and you can talk to somebody. They do the best that they can and I usually can get somewhere with them. With the other companies, you cannot get anywhere with anybody. I like Home Shield. They communicate with you, and they talk with you. The only thing is this deal with this dishwasher. It shouldn't take three months. I was looking for Home Shield to respond quicker, and they kept trying to give this guy an opportunity. When they finally got rid of them, then we got somewhere with the other company. They were really good. They really took care of things fast, and said the first tech bought the wrong part and still wasn't working. The second guy did his best to try to fix that guy's screw-up, and finally got it resolved. They said that part was too much and the part was gonna take too long, so a credit is coming in the mail to buy a new dishwasher.

    My water heater was broken and my refrigerator was not working. They were able to repair my appliances but they had to come back for the refrigerator because there were two things that needed to be replaced and they just did one. Then I have to contact AHS so they can send them back out again and wait for another part. So, I was without a refrigerator for almost a month.

    I found out that at that point, with the water heater, that my plan didn't cover everything. I also noticed that they have been increasing my rates for the past year without any notification in my email or sending a letter. And then when you submit a claim, you find out that they change stuff on you and now you have to pay out of pocket for additional services. I was in the top tier plan and they changed the plan so I went from paying $50 to $100. I am planning to cancel because that's unacceptable. That's robbery and garbage, it’s disgraceful.

    We had a dishwasher issue. They came out maybe three times but could not fix it. Every time, they would go back and order another part, come back, and try again. We were without a dishwasher for more than a month and eventually, they agreed to replace it. They didn't replace it with the same thing, but they did install it and it never worked right. The problem was that the installation was not good, so the new guy that came out actually installed it right.

    The most recent one was pretty decent, it was relatively painless. They weren't able to reach me by a phone call so I texted them. They scheduled the first availability that was a week, so it’s reasonable. And the guy that came out showed up at a time that he said he was gonna do, which is not the norm. He found the problem which was a bad installation from a previous installer. So, this third party contractor was pretty good. It took about two weeks, which is the best service I've ever gotten. Every other experience I've had with AHS has taken months and months to fix. They can wash their hands of this and say it's a third party, and their business model is like they're the middleman. But the reality is that what I’m getting for my insurance is pretty poor.

    I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. If it's a small problem, it could be handled like this last person. But if it's an actual problem that you need insurance for, they just are useless because it takes months for something to get fixed. Meanwhile, you're out of a dishwasher, clothes dryer, whatever you need to actually function. So from that perspective, they're completely useless. It’s not worth the effort.

    I had two different companies that came over my house to review what was broken. The first company submitted the claim to American Home Shield for an approval. I have no idea that there was an additional process because I thought if I have the Platinum Plan, I got coverage. That was what the people sold when I got my contract. I got denied, and they offered another company to come over. I got a different company that time, but it took three weeks to get any information from them. I never heard anything from American Home Shield or Omega Heating.

    After I called Omega three weeks later, they said they were waiting for American Home Shield for an approval. I called American Home Shield and they said they were waiting for Omega to send them a quote. A few minutes later, American Home Shield called me back and told me they got the quote and they got everything approved. That was three weeks later. My husband was so mad, and we hired someone who then came here and he fixed the issue that same day in less than an hour. I felt like a ping pong ball. I'm very disappointed because I was expecting, if I got a Platinum Plan, to get everything. It's not worth it to me to wait three weeks for someone to come over to fix something. I don't have so many claims. When I had a big claim, they closed the door for me.

    The contractor from the first company they sent only took five minutes. I requested in the same order to review my other two units, and that guy didn't review anything other than the older unit downstairs. The second guy from Omega Heating was very detailed, and he reviewed everything and took off some parts. They just didn't send me the quote on time.

    We had a claim to American Home Shield for a slow draining kitchen sink. Submitting the claim was good. We did it online, which is typically how they want you to do it now. A repair guy came out in a couple of days, which was quick. However, he was kind of crabby. He kept telling us that we need to stop throwing grease down our sink, and we don't do that. Then he snaked it three times. He kept on saying that a snake only goes 100 feet, which should be just fine. He finally got through it, but he said we're gonna need hydro jetting and he doesn't do that.

    I called American Home Shield and told them what happened, and they did refund me the 125 service fee. It came after 7 to 10 days. We had to find another company to help us. I'm very appreciative that they refunded my fee, but as far as the service, it didn't help. In fact, we made a decision to terminate our contract with them.

    The furnace was installed in November. However, the front of my house still does not warm up. I'm now wondering if the furnace could be fixed. They told me it couldn't be fixed so I paid for a brand new furnace. I ended up paying $4,200 out of my pocket even with the $6,000 that American Home Shield had given. They also told me originally after the installation they were gonna come 10 days after to make sure everything was running okay, but they never called me. I called them and asked them about it. They scheduled an appointment on Monday a week ago which I ended up taking the day off. But they called me on that Monday and said they wouldn't be able to keep their appointment. They rescheduled it. I had to call them because I never got a phone call back. They told me that they would come in today, which they did.

    The guy came and looked at everything. He said the furnace is running fine, and that I just need air ducts to help with it. Part of me is now starting to think was the furnace the actual issue or was there something underlying else and they just thought it would be an easy fix by replacing the whole furnace. I think I overpaid significantly for it. The upstairs stays about 5 to 6 degrees lower than the other part of the house. The first floor bedroom that we have stays about 3 to 4 degrees lower. Now I'm thinking that this is gonna be another couple thousand dollars on top of the $4,000 that I've already spent. I am disappointed.

    American Home Shield also significantly raised my rates this year. I have two quotes with them - one's my house and the other's my condo. They were able to get the quote for my house down. But for my condo, it almost doubled in price. I'm shopping around right now to see what type of pricing I can get. I told a friend that's looking for a home warranty last week to hold off on American Home Shield for right now and that I would let him know if I find a better deal and possibly switch over. Another thing is I've referred one of my friends, but when I look at my monthly bill, I don't think I got a credit, because I was supposed to get one month for free for that referral.

    American Home Shield has beautiful customer service. However, we're talking to people in another country. They try to do the best job they can but we're dealing with too many people and by the time it gets to the right person, it's too late. We need to be dealing with people from the United States so we can work more efficiently and effectively.

    When my ovens went out, Home Shield sent out Pacific Coast Air Pacific Coast Air, and they took a report. They never sent it to me, so I never could get ahold of them, because then it had to go through Home Shield. It took a while and I need my oven to cook. I felt it took a little bit longer than it needed to get the resolution. Then they couldn't repair the oven as what the guy told me when he came. I paid $125 for them to come out. I never got an acknowledgement back from Pacific Coast. The gentleman was on time and he was nice, but the follow through wasn't there. When I called the company, they said they still needed some more input, which they never shared with me. Then they said it had to go to the next step, which took a while. So, by the time it did, they did a replacement.

    The ovens were almost 20 years old. When they bought these ovens, they were like $10,000. These were good ovens. When Home Shield gave me refund for it, they only gave me an oven that was worth $1,044, and then they told me to make sure that the oven would fit because they won't take it back. I had to pay again for somebody to come out to measure the area, and the oven that they gave me wasn't gonna fit. It took me forever to get back to them. I had to end up buying my own oven. I went in the medium, and it was almost $3,000 with all the installation and then coming out. I have a premium service with Home Shield, but they are only giving me $1,400. I still haven't got refunded, too. If I have a premium warranty, I shouldn't be getting the end of the stick.

    My AC was malfunctioning so I called American Home Shield. They sent me Austin Heating and Air. Since they came over, I've been having issues with them. First, they rigged it to make it work. Then they came back and they rigged it again because it gave out again. They sent me an invoice saying that I had to have a new AC put on my roof. It ended up costing me almost 4,000. In that invoice, it said that they were gonna put a new system in, make it work properly, and have a safety inspection done to it. Then I talked to the owner because I was a little bit skeptical about the almost $4,000 that I had to come up with. He gave me his word. It bothers me a lot, saying that he was guaranteeing that he was gonna come and finish everything that was on that list. That never happened. About a week later, my AC shot out again. This was during the summer. I called a few times. I emailed them and I was getting no response.

    So, I called American Home Shield. They sent out another company. The AC shot out again. So, we went through it. Now, we're in winter, and they said that they were gonna come back and fix it. I never got an answer from that. My ductwork was really bad. When the AC was working, there were particles coming out of my bathroom and my bedrooms. I called them because my AC shot out again during the winter and nobody was coming through.

    I just called a personal AC tech, and I had to pay out of my pocket. He went up there. He said that the wiring up there was so messed up that I was lucky that my house had not caught on fire. He took it apart and rewired it. Until this day, my AC has been working perfectly. Overall, I feel like I got robbed. My family was put at risk. I've been trying to resolve this for a minute.

    I submitted a claim with AHS for my washer and it was assigned to Aurora Appliance. The tech came out and he ordered parts for the agitator. He came back, he fixed the agitator, but the spin cycle, he still was waiting word on getting parts to repair the spin cycle as the whole washer was shaking extremely violently. I called American Home Shield, and said, “When is this going to get done?” American Home Shield conveyed to me that Aurora told them that there was no repair needed, that it just made a noise, and that it was a wiring issue. I was never told there was a wiring issue.

    After 20 phone calls with American Home Shield over the course of November and into December, I started getting very mad that AHS was not doing what they were supposed to be doing because I pay a monthly fee to have repairs done. I was told that they would send Premier HVAC out. I called AHS back and explained that I did not want another poorly rated vendor. I was told the request would be sent to dispatch, but instead, Aurora was reassigned to my claim again. After yet another refusal from Aurora, I was informed I would need to open a new claim and pay another service fee because Aurora claimed no repair was needed. That was unacceptable. I agreed to let Premier come out and I’m waiting for them to assess the washer.

I had to call another plumbing company out to turn it off, because they couldn't come to at least turn it off because it was leaking. One time, my garage door wasn't working. They repaired that. But it took them a while to come out. I had another garage door people to come out because I needed somebody else to come out quicker and they checked. They told me the motor was not working.

It was pretty easy to send in the claim online and the contractor that American Home Shield sent out was really great. He was wonderful. He knew right away what was wrong. There was a part of the motor that was not working anymore. He said that that's something that goes wrong on these dishwashers a lot. He put in the order for the part. Then he came back in a week and he fixed it in five minutes. It was so easy. He fixed the dishwasher. It works so good.

    I have had no issues with American Home Shield for the last two times that we put in a claim. The only issue we had with American Home Shield was years ago and they did finally fix the issue, but it took forever. It was a hot water heater and we didn't have any hot water and it was so bad. But now, I have had no problem whatsoever putting in the work orders.

    When I first put in the claim for tthe refrigerator, it said something about waiting for the new year. But I told them, "No." So I waited a couple of days and I put it in again and they were right out that same day. They were going to come out two days, and then they said, "Well, someone's in town. So we'll just come out now." The refrigerator can't be fixed, and they told me that I have to find the email because they're giving us money to replace it. It was not the whole money for the whole refrigerator, but money towards it. So I'm very happy and I have had no problems whatsoever.

But when they discovered it needs a total replacement, they said that I had to pay $7000.00 out of pocket. I pay AHS $98.00 a month with copay of $125. So I shouldn't have to pay anymore. It was also taking so long. We are senior citizens, one of us has advanced cancer, and we have been without heat for 2 weeks. I've been calling everyday. And they keep telling me my claim will be processed in the order it was received. I explained the circumstances but they keep telling me it should be processed within 48 hrs. They've said that everyday this week. But still nothing.

    After 2 trips to the emergency room, I called another company and had my new system installed within 24hr. I had to pay $15k out of pocket. STILL AHS won't even tell me how much they're going to give me towards a cash out.

    Absolutely horrible and unacceptable service. American Home Shield sent Sears to repair my refrigerator. During the initial visit, the Sears technician informed me directly that they do not perform the type of repair needed for my refrigerator. Based on that information, I immediately contacted American Home Shield to request a different contractor.

    I was told that assigning another contractor was not possible because a follow-up appointment had already been scheduled. American Home Shield then contacted Sears, who claimed that parts needed to be ordered to complete the repair. This was extremely confusing, as it directly contradicted what the technician told me during the initial visit.

    I was then scheduled for a second appointment with an arrival window of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which required me to take an entire day off work. Throughout that day, I received multiple notifications stating the technician’s expected arrival time was being pushed back. At the very end of the day, I received a notification that the technician would not be coming at all. An entire day was wasted.

    I called American Home Shield again and spent several hours on the phone, only to be told the issue was escalated and another appointment date would be scheduled. I again requested a different vendor and was told that was not possible. Unfortunately, the exact same situation occurred again on the next scheduled date. I waited all day, received delayed arrival updates, and once again the technician never showed up.

    Now, after being without a refrigerator for nearly a month, American Home Shield is asking to schedule yet another appointment with the same contractor who has already failed to resolve the issue twice. This is completely unacceptable. I have lost multiple days of work, spent hours on the phone, and still do not have a functioning refrigerator. At this point, I see no other option but to escalate this matter further, including filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau. This entire experience reflects a serious lack of accountability, communication, and customer care.

    I had an extremely disappointing experience with American Home Shield and would not recommend this company to anyone. Their customer service is poor, with little to no follow-up and a complete lack of clear or reliable timelines once a service request is submitted. Communication is vague at best, leaving customers guessing about next steps and resolution. Another major issue is their apparent lack of service partners. It routinely took two or more days just to assign a contractor, even when the issue was urgent. This delay is unacceptable, especially for a company that advertises peace of mind and protection.

    Most concerning, I experienced two emergency situations where timely response was critical, and American Home Shield failed to act with any sense of urgency. These delays only added stress and risk, defeating the entire purpose of having a home warranty in the first place. Overall, this company does not deliver on its promises. Between slow response times, poor communication, and inadequate emergency support, my experience was frustrating and costly. I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere for reliable home warranty coverage.

    American Home Shield is a SCAM. Do not believe for one moment the monthly fee quoted on line. They say a certain price to sucker you in and once they get your credit card information they hit it with 12 times that amount they quoted. In my case the charge went from $25.00 to $300.00 And when you need a service call you get a recording with all the stuff they don't cover. Also they don't have a live person for customer service. All they have is some recording instructing you to put in a credit card for payment. Example I signed up for a 25 dollar a month plan. It was actually a "promotion" they were running and I believed I got the "Gold" package.

    I had to wait until the month ended to begin my coverage. I got an email that they could not process my payment and to give them an updated card. Well thank God I did not do that because I thought they would have debited $25.00 as a monthly fee but in actuality they were charging me $300.00 and I had made no claims because the policy was not in effect until the 30 day window. I never agreed to pay them $300.00. And also for all service calls there is a deductible of over a $100.00. You are better off just finding a trusted plumber, heating mechanic or appliance repair person. And you should also always get warranties on any appliance.

    On the recording they have when talking about what they won't cover they immediately say call a plumber or contact your home insurance provider and file a claim. Why does a person need American Home Shield when you still have to go out of pocket for repairs? To protect myself I called my bank and had my card cancelled. I then went into my local bank to get a new debit card issue and requested a Visa "Updator" to prevent them from debiting the unauthorized $300.00 out of my account. Make sure if you cancel your card when you go into the bank tell them to Turn Off your previous card called (Updator) otherwise American Home Shield can still make the deduction out of your new card. Scammers!!!!

    Hello Sharrieff. Thank you for the feedback.

    While I understand your frustration with the situation as you describe it, AHS is certainly not a scam. We make it clear in our promotional offers that they ARE promotions, and that the regular pricing will be applied after the promotional period ends. If customers feel that the warranty is not worth the regular price, they are free to cancel before the regular pricing period begins.

    AHS does not hide the fact that there is a service fee for each work order. These fees are the cost of the diagnosis from the licensed, ensured technician in our network. All of our service pricing and contract details are readily available in our sample contracts, and can be viewed online at https://www.ahs.com/contracts/. This allows buyers to see the coverage and pricing before they sign up for any plan.

    You are correct when you state that homeowners should also try to get a manufacturer's warranty on any appliance or system. However, these warranties expire relatively quickly when compared to the total lifetime of a home. A home warranty plan offers peace of mind and coverage protection for appliances and systems which are outside the coverage dates of the manufacturer.

    In reference to the denials of coverage, please be aware that all contract plans have circumstances that will not be covered; if everything was always covered, no one would ever need to offer a contract describing terms. That is not singular to AHS. In the event that a denial is issued, our authorizations team explains why the coverage was denied, and they offer alternative courses of action as the situation warrants. This can include the option for a second opinion from another vendor.

    Finally : if a member ever decides to cancel their contract, their banking information is removed from our system. There is no need to cancel bank cards, as we will act in harmony with privacy regulations in order to protect customer financial privacy.

    I was not able to locate any account for you within our system. If you still have concerns, please reach out to us directly via socialmedia@ahs.com. We will be glad to answer your concerns.

    AHS is GARBAGE!! They’re a scam and the BBB needs to do an investigation on them. I promise you will regret purchasing a plan from them. They never argue about pulling money out of your bank account but the second you need anything from them it is an absolute dumpster fire. Over $100 per month, then if you have a claim it’s another $125 for them to send out a (professional). In other words, recently released convicts that reek of cigarettes and don’t know their ** from their elbows. They’ll fix the issue just enough to get a few months until it breaks again causing the whole thing to start again. I assure you, you will be better off paying for a repair when something happens. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR AMERICAN HOME SHIELD!!!!

    Company: American Home Shield. Issue: Failure to repair or replace covered appliance within a reasonable timeframe. We have an active home warranty policy with American Home Shield that includes appliance coverage. Our refrigerator failed and is a covered item under the policy. The contract requires repair or replacement within a “reasonable amount of time.”

    We have been without a working refrigerator for over three weeks as of Christmas. We were informed the required repair part will not be available for an additional three to four months. Despite this delay, American Home Shield refuses to replace the unit, forcing a family of four to go without a refrigerator for four to five months, which is unreasonable for an essential appliance.

    American Home Shield offered only $150 toward renting a refrigerator, which does not cover months of rental, or $450 for the part, which is far below replacement cost. This would be the third repair attempt. The first two attempts failed, and there is no assurance this repair will resolve the issue. American Home Shield accepted payment but refuses to resolve the claim within a reasonable timeframe, appearing to violate the contract. During a call with an escalation supervisor on 12/31/25, the supervisor was unprofessional and disconnected the call.

    I signed up for American Home Shield home warranty & after a year of never using it (because it was way cheaper & quicker to fix it locally or ourselves than use our warranty) We decided not to renew our contract in August. Fast Forward to December we went to do our taxes and noticed AHS had not only "auto renewed" our contract as well as the autopay but was charging us more as well. When I called in they refused to refund any more than $13 of the $201 they charged Sept through Dec of 2025. They make it EXTREMELY difficult to cancel, or reach an agent. It's very difficult to communicate with the "customer service" agents as they struggle to speak English (or Spanish) and they have no concern for legalities. Buyer beware!!!

    American Home Shield is a total SCAM. There is no place to leave zero stars or Negative 10 stars. They charge you $1000 a year and then deny all claims you file and charge YOU for sending out warranty workers that have no idea what they are doing to try and diagnose very simple problems. Then because these sub-par techs can't fix your problems you end up with MORE repairs cuz they wrecked something else in the process of trying to fix the first problem (even though the first problem never actually got fixed) and NONE of the repairs are actually covered because of the very small print in the contract that says they are just scamming you.

    But you don't find out this warranty repair (and any other warranty repair ever conceived) isn't covered until everything is done and they deny your claim. then they send you a bill for Collections if you don't pay the cost to FILE a claim with them (EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING BUT RATHER SENT OUT SUB-PAR WORKERS AND MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE). What a scam. How are these people still in Business? DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! TOTAL SCAM.

    After paying monthly and paying for service calls American Home shield is definitely not worth what I put in! The last service call was the worst! My hot water heater went out so I put in a request for service. After they diagnosed the issue they determined I needed a new water heater and it would cost $3000. American Home shield denied it because of age and wear and tear. It was 8 years old. I am on a very tight budget so a friend of mine whose husband has plumbing experience offered to help. I ended up paying $600 for the water heater and $50 for him to install. Where did this shady plumbing company come up with this pricing? I know they charge quite a bit for the time to install, but where did they come up with $3000?

    Then the final straw was after being called numerous times to schedule them to come fix the issue I was berated and threatened by the plumbing company. I was told “I hope your house doesn’t burn down since we didn’t do the work” and if someone from the city came I would be in trouble if the person didn’t install it properly. They also contacted the water utility and reported that my water pressure was too high, so I now have to install a part on my meter that cost $600 plus whatever the time to install costs. Bottom line, I canceled my warranty. Any company that would contract with a shady company like the one they sent has no morals and isn’t looking out for their customers.

    We canceled a claim earlier because we thought the refrigerator was starting to work better. But it went back out so I put a new request in for service and Sears is coming out tomorrow. Whenever I file a claim with American Home Shield, I find it odd that I submit the make, model, and serial numbers when I ask for the service. Then I'll get asked for those again by the service company. Sears has asked me for it twice on this particular claim. I'm not sure why it's not better communicated from the beginning. It's not a real pain to answer it, but I've gotten several requests for the same information.

    What I like best about American Home Shield is that they take my order easily online. They're reasonably quick on appliances and things that are not urgent so I'm altogether pretty happy with that. The thing that needs improving is things like HVAC work. When I've had air conditioner problems, the experience has not been very good. The summer before this last one, we needed service but it took us weeks to get it done. When it's 100 degrees outside, you need something a little faster. However, American Home Shield had trouble finding a vendor to work with them. We ended up eventually finding our own vendor then American Home Shield paid them.

    I had needed work on a hot water heater and it took quite a while to get that done as well. It looked like it was about to bust out on the seams but it took American Home Shield quite a while to find somebody that would do that. I was very concerned I was gonna have a major mess all over my basement before they found somebody. Other than those, I have told friends of mine that don't have a home warranty program that they ought to look at American Home Shield because it's been valuable to me. I've also heard from contractors I've used that American Home Shield is the best they work with and that they find them to be the best for the customer.

    American Home Shield may not be worth the spend, but it might be. It's possible. We've been there two years. We decided to quit because the amount that we were gonna have to pay to replace the heat pump was too high. The heat pump had gone out and we took a cashout, which was $300-something, instead of having anything fixed. Since the heat pump was bad, an option was to replace the heat pump, including the gas for that new heat pump, new Freon-type stuff. But the contractor was very competent and nice.

    American Home Shield is a really good company. Sometimes they have some good contractors, and sometimes they don't. Some of them do not give proper diagnosis on the job, which sometimes leads me to get declined. That really pisses me off at times. The latest work order that I put in about a month ago is still not resolved. The one before that, the plumber gave the wrong diagnosis, and the claim was declined. It cost me $650 out of pocket. The last couple of contractors wasn't up to par. I'm hoping for the best right now. I've been with Home Shield for more than 20 years and I have four properties insured with them right now, which leads me to about nine different units.

    American Home Shield's customer service is good. Sometimes with some of them, the language barrier is off but at the end, they still try their best. They're okay in trying to find the right contractors, but they're not okay in terms of getting the right contractors. Sometimes these owners act as if they don't care. They get out of control in terms of how they speak to people.

    The AC motor that spins and pushes air out broke. That was the diagnosis Summer Breeze gave us. We had to call them several times because they were not telling the truth about the scheduling. One minute they say they're on their way out, and then the next minute they say they’re not. There were several calls over the course of a month before our issue was finally resolved. So that is something that we find very unappealing.

    There was one other claim we put in for plumbing. The first plumbing company AHS sent out came out three times. They never really got the issue resolved. They told us that our toilet seat was broken. I refuted that claim and asked AHS to send out different plumber for a second look.

    The second plumber came in and did his magic. He didn't say that our toilet was bad, and whatever he did seems to have resolved the issue. It's been two weeks since and we haven't had any backup with that toilet.

    Submitting the claim with American Home Shield was very easy. However, I wasn't thrilled with the tech. When he got here, he said he only takes cash, checks, or Venmo. He would also take PayPal or Zelle. I don't even know what Zelle is. He would not take a credit card. This large, sweaty man, saw the broken garage door spring, went to his truck, and installed two different springs. One didn't match. He had a hard time lifting the garage door and had me come in and help him do that. If you're running a business involving lifting heavy garage doors, you have an assistant. I got to do labor and didn't get paid for it. I did this a couple of times during the whole thing. At the end, he wouldn't give me my garage door clicker until I paid him. We will not use him again.

    American Home Shield raised our rates recently and it was an unnecessarily large amount of money. We briefly canceled the service because of that, and we came back. It didn't make any sense. When it comes to what's going on in the country with the tariffs, everyone charges more for this and that. A service-oriented industry such as AHS doesn't merit having the tariffs affected. But that's the only gripe we had.

    Based on the old $75 co-pay, if my stove broke, I can go out and buy a new one for $100, or if I'm covered under AHS, pay my $75, and they come and put another stove in. That's what we did originally. We had an electric stove here, which the coils were not even, and it was very dangerous because the pot would slide off of the burner onto the floor. So, we picked up another stove after AHs helped us. We brag about the services we got. That's how we sell the service.

He came back within two days and it took him less than 10 minutes to fix the issue. AirMax just hadn't contacted me.

It only took the technician five minutes to undo it and I felt like that $100 was a waste when someone could've told me over the phone how to do it.

    In case of any heavy outage with a major appliance, it's good to have coverage like American Home Shield. My mother has coverage through them. I replaced my HVAC earlier this year. It had an old, dilapidated system. I was eventually replaced for a large sum of money. I figured if another appliance like my refrigerator went out, I would want as much coverage as possible.

    I wanted a maintenance checkup on the system but it ended up being a complicated process where the contractor did not end up doing maintenance. They said they couldn't do it because there was nothing wrong with the system reported. The contractor said it had to be an emergency thing where it wasn't working. I called back to American Home Shield and they said I have a 30-day notice to see If there was any emergency. Otherwise, the charge of $125 still took. There should be more notice reiterating that I'm not allowed for just general maintenance checkup. It has to be an emergency checkup. I had one plumber come out. I thought the flow of the toilet wasn't working well and the plumber said there was nothing wrong. Maybe what I could do better is not overreact to the difference between general maintenance and emergency.

    The annual tune-up of the furnace is part of the package that I bought but it’s only for one unit. The technician from Royal Flush AC & Heating was very professional and shared information each time I asked. I was there with him, and I wanted to know what he was doing, and he was open to questions. I just wish that my package includes the second unit.

    Fire and Ice Heating did a maintenance check to make sure the system was okay for heating. The tech did his job, and everything is functioning okay. While American Home Shield’s service providers have been good, I would appreciate one that is local to my community. All the service providers that come through American Shield do not have a team here in Tuscaloosa, even though there are several plumbing companies here. AHS's service providers all have to travel over an hour to get here because they're based somewhere else. If there’s an emergency, that can be an issue.

    Right now, I have a plumbing claim, and the technician was supposed to come today between 12 and 5. But the technician is sick, which I understand, and the repair must be rescheduled. The problem is that I’m traveling, so now I have to wait until the 8th. There’s no one else available to take his place, and this company is coming from over an hour away. My concern is more about who AHS contracts with.

    I like American Home Shield. I had it for almost a year now. I'd recommend it if people are worried about stuff breaking down. I wouldn't say it's the best, but I think it's fair for what you're getting. They fixed the garage door. I told them I don't have a garage door opener and they didn't want to provide one without a fee.

    I pay for the more expensive plan, which covers more, but I just think the deductible is too high. I don't really wanna use it because I'm already paying $100 a month and another's $125 whenever something happens. I think the monthly amount that I'm paying should be lower. I can go with the cheaper plan and I wouldn't be as dissatisfied.

I had to call back a couple of times because there was a miscommunication between American Home Shield and the plumber. When the plumber first came out, they only did part of the job, but they actually had to go through the wall to get through the plumbing to fix it. Once it was figured out, it turned out great. They also gave good advice on how to cover the hole and certain things to do and not do to prevent it from happening again. Everything has been great since the repair.

    For my Samsung refrigerator claim with AHS, I had a couple of people come out. I called AHS and the techs came out and looked at it. They said that they couldn't service it because it's under the warranty for the compressor. It's a sealed compressor, so they couldn't open it up. They had to refer it over to somebody with Samsung. But AHS sent two people out before I finally got somebody out who said, "No, we can't touch it." I had somebody from Samsung come out, the third person, and they did what they thought was a fix on my fridge, but then on Christmas Day, it died again. I have somebody else coming out tomorrow from Samsung to hopefully fix it once and for all. But AHS has been easy to work with and they do a good job. I like knowing it's there if I need it.

They provided a comparative estimate and the contract is awarded to Puget and that's who I've been dealing with. There are some communication issues with Puget. They weren't quite responsive.

I just don't want to miss work seven times while sitting here at my house for this guy to come.

    This is the worst experience I've had with American Home Shield. Most of the time, it's good. Sears came out and diagnosed the stove.

He called AHS and told them that I would need a new stove, which a couple of days later, they sent me an option for another stove. I picked out the stove, but after that, it was, "Okay, I'm supposed to get my stove on this date." Can't happen with it. "Sorry, won't be able to make delivery." The next date, "Won't be able to make a delivery."

    My stove went out in the middle of November, and I still haven't got it in. American Home Shield keeps pushing the delivery date back. It's going on two months, and I don't have the stove. I can't have a family get-together for the holidays if I don't have a stove to cook on. I missed Thanksgiving and Christmas at my house, because I was supposed to have a planned get-together.

    The heater would not come on when you clicked it on and the interaction with the contractor that American Home Shield sent was good. But the technician tried to upsell me by saying that the system was dirty. But we just had it serviced a few weeks ago. He also said that the board was out and he needs to order the part. Last year, when they ordered the part, it came in within two days. But this one took a little over two weeks. Since they’re based out of LA, the technician wasn’t coming up to Bakersfield until they've got some more jobs. That way, it's not a wasted trip just for one job. But other than that, everything else was good.

The first contractor used a snake for the shower and claimed there was grease in the pipes, and I had to pay $800 to hydro jet it. Then the tech said he would do it for $500 if I paid cash on that day, and I said no. I called AHS back and argued with them. I wasted two days with 20 calls back and forth. Eventually, American Home Shield sent Emergency Plumbing and the tech was able to fix it after five minutes of snaking it. So, that was good.

    I submit claims by phone but every time I call, I get agents from overseas and there’s a language barrier. They’re not courteous and a lot of the time, we’re left to figure things out on our own. It comes down to whatever their technician says. If the tech says no, then they’re not going to do it. If I want a second opinion, I have to pay for it myself.

    I paid to get something fixed, and I got lies to my face several times. When I had an issue with my toilet upstairs, AHS sent out a company called Alpha Plumbing. My toilet was loose and the repair guy said it needed to be replaced. So, he took my toilet off, called American Home Shield and told me it was not covered because I didn't have an O-ring on my toilet. But there's one. He lied to American Home Shield and they won't warranty the toilet. But if I was willing to pay him $400 on that day, I would get a new toilet. So, it's not only American Home Shield.

I had been told by a couple of plumbers who had done some contracting work that a new a retaining tank might be needed. But he told me it didn't need it yet.

I often call them before they call me as it's easier to schedule an appointment that way.

    I've maintained having American Home Shield for going on 20 years. It was on the house when I bought it in 2006. At that point, I didn't know how long I would live in the house, but I knew to maintain a warranty because that would make the house more desirable in a sale. American Home Shield has been a great warranty. Most years than not, it pays for itself. I also have had the good fortune of meeting some good contractors who've done some non-warranty work in my house. That helps, too. The contractors American Home Shield sends are professional ones. They call when they are on their way and are here at the time of the repairs. Before the pandemic, I may have had trouble with one or two contractors. But other than that, they know what they're doing. They're helpful, polite, and clean. There have been glitches here and there, but overall, it's been a very streamlined process working with American Home Shield

    I had a problem with my washing machine and two different companies came out. For the first company, it took one week to send somebody to inspect the machine. This company was the worst ever and they didn’t do anything. Their technician was not a professional and he didn't know what he was doing. He checked the machine and he saw the problem. I was told they were gonna order a part and they would be back to fix the washing machine. I was given 10 days to be sent the part.

    When the technician left, he lied to his manager. He told him there was nothing wrong with the machine. They sent an email and they declined the service. When I called the contractor to complain about his employee, she told me, “Send me a video.” I sent her the video for the machine. She told me I was right. I still have the message from her when she said their employee made a mistake when he lied saying there was no problem with the machine. American Home Shield has to know who to recommend to send. I read the review for the first company and nobody was happy with it.

    We called American Home Shield and I didn't talk to a person. There was a machine. They sent me a different company for a second opinion. The company responded in less than 24 hours. They came and found the same problem. In a few days, the part was sent and they set an appointment again. They came and they fixed the washing machine. It was good service.

    My washer was on the blink. A young guy from Foster came out and he had to go get some parts, and he came back and fixed it. I had to replace some other parts that were old in it. I thought it was a little pricey, but it's better than going out and buying a new unit. The young man was extremely approachable. It was a good experience with him.

    As far as American Home Shield, I've been paying for them for a while, and I have never used them before. I thought I was just throwing my money away. I pay them a monthly fee, but I have to pay money upfront for somebody to come out. I guess that's just the way the business operates. If anything else happens again, I'll definitely use them again. I was satisfied with them and I'd recommend them to a friend.

    I've been with American Home Shield for the past five years. As of late, their customer service has been exceptional. Starting out, the company we received the service from didn't fix the problem. But overall, it's been okay. The timeframe from the time I submit a claim to the time that the technicians come out is contingent on what the problem is and availability. So, sometimes it's a long time, and sometimes it isn't. The last couple of technicians have been great. Overall, American Home Shield should be sure that the customer is updated as to exactly what's going on upfront before assessing cost.

    The vast majority of the time, there is no issue with the individual agent or a customer service rep when I call. Even when I've had a concern, it wasn't the individual's fault. My microwave oven's open latch was not functioning properly. The contractor came out and replaced it. The appointment was set within 24 hours or later the same day. It was very quick. All Brands has been to my home a number of times. So, it was resolved quickly and to my satisfaction, and still working. However, a few years back, in November, I called in a report for a problem with my washing machine, and it wasn't until April of the next year when it got resolved.

    I was unhappy to think that after three calls, techs coming out, and they're replacing this, replacing that, and it kept going on. Finally, American Home Shield junked the washing machine, and I got a new one. But I was very unhappy that they kept going back. They suggested that, "If you do get a second opinion, then you'll have to pay for that." I pay them too much money in my annual premium, and $100 a call for them to tell me that to get a second person out here, I would have to pay for when they are the ones who send the doggone companies.

    I didn't have to pay any money for the machine and for the second company to come out. But I was disappointed because of this, not that the agent was doing anything wrong. They're doing what they're trained to do. Whether what they're trying to do pleases the client or customer is another story. But the one woman said to me, "This one is really our best company to come." I felt badly to think, "Why in the hell didn't you send your best company the first time around?" When she went on to say that the first company they sent had limited capacity compared to the company that they're now sending out.

    They felt that company was sufficient for the job, but it wasn't. And to think that they would charge me after not sending their A team, I don't think so. I did not call them on any accounts for so long, not that it hurt them, because they get my monthly premium, and it's no lost revenue to them, but I was that unhappy that I wasn't comfortable to think they're gonna send out the best that they have. I got past it.

    I pay $700 a year. When I think about that, and if I have four calls in the year, it's another, $400 max. 1,100 bucks. When I look at what I can get with other vendors that I've used over time, I'm now of the mind that I'm not persuaded that I need to pay this kind of money annually for services that I need. I have up to $4,000 allowance on appliances and something about coolant. But I'm not convinced that it is worth it now because of some of the packages I can get with the plumbing and electrical company that I used before AHS. We bought a new AC a few years ago, and they have some arrangements. I partner with AHS that you all come out once a year for my HVAC cleaning. I have a little thing with the company who manufactured the system, where they come once a year.

    I get the cleaning twice a year, and I'm happy. But I'm not sure that I need to keep a $700 a year relationship with AHS to accomplish that when it costs me so much less to get one cleaning from the other place complimentary. Well, it isn't complimentary. I pay for it. But because of the HVAC with AHS, that twice a year was nice. But their plan to give me twice a year cleaning is way less than the 700 I pay to have the partnership that gets me to.

    I'm not sure I'm gonna renew, but not because I'm unhappy or angry at AHS, it's just when I look at the numbers, persuaded that it's going to be to my economic advantage. And now that I'm a widower, there's less income stream. I don't know that I can afford to easily keep paying the $700 plus $100 a hit. It's not working for me as well numerically, but it can be a very good thing for people who aren't in the circumstance that I am.

    I had to call the city of Wyoming and the contractor who installed my furnace because they didn't do it right and they didn't get an inspection. The plumber who looked at my water heater said that American Home Shield won’t pay them because it relit. When I called and told the lady my water heater was going out and I had to keep relighting it, she still sent them out there. They took the money. She said, “What we can do is we can send another company out there. And if it's the same diagnosis, you'll have to pay again. But if it's not, then we'll fix it.” How is that gonna be the same diagnosis? It still goes out. I relight it.

    I am not happy with the company at all, and I've been with them for 10 years. As soon as my contract's up, I'm dropping them because they have turned into a scamming company. Five years ago, they were excellent. I had 10 people who signed up for the company over the last couple of years. Now they're not the same company. I will tell people not to use them. Even the companies they use are crap now. They don't even pull inspections. Once they found out an inspector was coming, they came out again because they said they had to fix things before the inspector comes.

    The experience with NexGen was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend them to anybody. The technician that came out was knowledgeable and professional. He was able to assess what was wrong, quickly order the part and come back in a timely manner to get it resolved. Making my appointment online or putting my service request online is perfect. But ever since American Home Shield moved their contact centers offshore, it has been a horrible experience if I have to call them. They have people who don't speak English as their first language. They have not lot of understanding. I can tell they read off a cue card. I try to use online as much as possible to not have to talk to them.

    I had to have something reassigned to NexGen because the repair company that they auto assigned couldn't get me in for over a week. When I called to have it changed, I had to go through multiple escalations and it's ridiculous. The only reason why I stay with American Home Shield even with it offshore is they're one of the most reputable companies and I know I'm not going to have my premium go to nothing like I had when I left them one other time and went to a smaller company and they went belly up. I had paid all in full. I was out the money.

    I got a separate claim with my dishwasher. I wanted to put the sink faucet with it, but I still had to pay American Home Shield twice. The contractor found the leak, but they had to go and come back another time. The jury is still out on the dishwasher too. The technician said there's something going on with the panel and it has to be replaced. He said that's common. He's supposed to be bringing it back. So, I don't wanna pre-judge it.

    My garage door was making a strange popping noise. I didn't know if it was secure, so I submitted a claim to American Home Shield. The process was easy, but I'm not really excited about what they covered. I had to pay out of pocket for the repairs that ended up getting done. The technician replaced the wheels. He made an adjustment. It's still making the noise that had concerned me. I need to call them back and tell them to come back out and take a look. It's just that the stuff that was replaced was out of pocket. I have the impression and the expectation that my home warranty will cover for whatever reason I'm calling about. Then there's the fine writing that says they do not cover something.

    Coincidentally, there was another garage repair company in the neighborhood, and I had him come over. He wasn't gonna touch it because he wanted to make sure that he didn't null and void any warranty work that this garage company did. I did the same thing with him.

The HVAC guy just checked the heating and said it’s clean and maintained well. The refrigerator guy looked everything over, did some work, and the noises went down a bit. The electrician took longer trying to diagnose the issue and was not able to fix it. He said if we want to fix it ourselves, it costs $1,800.

    My refrigerator had gone out. If I plug it into a non-GFCI outlet, it works. But if I plug it into a GFCI-supported circuit, it kicks the breaker off. AHS reached out and decided to go with Sears as their technicians. It took too long. It was a couple of weeks for the contractor's first visit. They had to come out four times to fix it. But I knew that the technician did the best he could. He was a little old, Filipino man. He was really good, nice to work with, and polite. He readily made decisions without calling his supervisor. I had a very positive interaction with him.

    Nobody in the Sears side was reachable by phone, even AHS were unable to reach them. A big frustration I had with AHS is that everybody I talked to would simply read the script that they had in front of them, but they were never able to resolve anything. They kept saying they were gonna contact Sears to get their diagnostic report. Nobody was able to follow through on any of that. It took four months to complete that repair. It went out in the summer, and where I live, the summers are very hot.

    I went out and bought a new refrigerator after learning it would take four visits. I tried to use my camping cooler, but I realized I couldn’t keep using ice and minimum amount of food. And during that time, I lost all the food that was in the refrigerator. I wouldn't say it's 100% fixed, but I'm tired of dealing with AHS. I've been a customer for 10 years.

    I've been with American Home Shield since I bought my house over 40 years ago and my experience has been mixed. With their new phone system, it's hard to get through to a human being. It's the typical voicemail from hell to cause you to go away. Occasionally, their website does not have the appropriate categories or the ability to interact and get a human's feedback or get the right kind of service person. If it was something simple, the website works okay.

    AHS sometimes sends people out who does the repairs quickly and appropriately. However, they don't have people often available on weekends when things go to hell in a hand basket. AHS has done a lot of stuff right over the years. We've had a fight with them over a number of things. But my recent experience left a poor taste in my mouth. I may end up renewing just because I don't wanna go shopping for an appliance repairman when the refrigerator goes bad. It saves me the hassle of trying to find a carpenter, an electrician, a plumber, or an appliance repairman, at the last minute when things go south.

    A few years ago, I had issues with my dishwasher. AHS sent a guy out who ended up replacing the printed circuit board and other things. It took him four visits to get it working fine and it has been working fine since. There was no hassle with AHS about that. A backed up toilet was my most recent claim. It happened on a Saturday afternoon, and AHS couldn't find anybody who could come out, which created great problems in half of my house because things started backing up onto the floor. Fortunately, I had another toilet on the far end of the house that still worked. AHS finally said they could have somebody come on Tuesday. A guy came out but he wasn't able to get it through the shower drain. He also said he had to get permission to do more. Four days later, AHS called me and said, "We have to pull the toilet, but we're not gonna pay for it. You're gonna have to pay if you want your stuff done."

    I was over a barrel and paid large sums of money out of pocket to have the toilet pulled and the line unclogged. It cost me $100 to AHS plus $450 to the plumber, which is almost as much as I pay annually for my AHS insurance. It was not a satisfactory encounter. The plumber they sent out was a subcontractor. They have a contractor with some company who had some kid working for them, who was capable, pleasant and did his work well. But I was not pleased with them not wanting to pay for the repairs.

    When my oven wasn't working, I put in a claim online and paid my 125. American Home Shield had someone to call and let me know when they would be out. Two different people from Sears came out. The first one didn't have the part, so he ordered it while he was here. I had to sign something on the phone then the part came to my home. I called Sears, which they already had kept track of the part being delivered to me. The second guy came out and put it in. He knew exactly what to do and he did it. He was very polite and he wished me a nice day.

    I haven't had many claims, but from what I've seen so far, I like that the things that I may need repairing in the future are on American Home Shield's list. However, there's room for improvement. If I'm putting in a claim for my oven, and some other appliance needed to be fixed within the time of me putting in the claim, the service person can't take a look at it without me having to pay another 125 for that.

    I submitted a claim online with AHS for my dishwasher and the service has not gone very well. We've had seven visits and it's still not fixed. They think they know what's going on, and then they do that, and then it doesn't fix it still. It's doing the exact same thing. They've diagnosed it and allegedly fixed it several times. I am gonna call American Home Shield, see if I can get my deposit or my deductible back, and just buy a new dishwasher because I don't think they can fix it. I just haven't had time to call them. This has been frustrating but techs have come out 12 times for 12 different things and they have always got them fixed. Overall, it's been a great experience with AHS.

    When Fresh Air came out, they determined that the issue with our claim was a thermostat that was provided by our home security company. They wouldn't touch it, but they verified that the furnace was working properly. Once we determined that the thermostat didn't work, I worked directly with the home security company to try to troubleshoot what the problem was. They sent out their technician but we still couldn't get it to work.

    We had to call American Home Shield back and they sent a new contractor. They said it needed a part. It took seven to five business days to order that part. They went and got the part, tried to put it in just last week, then found out the part wasn't an issue. It's another part that they need and they're putting in an expedited order. American Home Shield has been working with us and I have no issues against them. However, if they’re sending out a provider who didn't give us good service, then that's not a provider they should recommend to come back out to our home.

    I try to do claims with American Home Shield online most times. They have it set up so that you do it online. It takes a few days for them to call, and it takes a few days for an appointment. If the unit needs something, that’s another wait. I have a ticket for my exhaust fan in the bathroom that was opened on the 26th of October. The bathroom exhaust is still not fixed. I also had a claim for my stove, and that was a problem since August. Someone came out with a part and finally got the stove fixed. From August all the way until December, that was how long it took them to fix the stove fully and properly. I’m also waiting now to hear what they are going to do with my refrigerator.
    Another claim I had was for my washing machine. I was in the kitchen painting and saw damage behind there and thought it was water damage. The technicians didn't see the blockage in the stack that sits behind the washing machine. They missed diagnosing the problem the first time. It took the appliance people, who came out to look at the washing machine that I paid an extra fee for to tell me, “No, it’s not the washing machine. It is the plumbing.” A plumber then came out.

    Most of American Home Shield’s contractors do subpar jobs. I’ve got to call now and have another person come out and replace my kitchen sink faucet. The contractor who did it before put something where it won't even turn between both sinks. It’s ridiculous. The vendors are horrible, and they bring American Home Shield down. I already told them that they don’t do a good job with their vendors. They need to do better with them and the service they give. I don’t know how many vendors are on my "do-not-send-back-to-my-house" list. One is the plumber that came out to do a re-fix. If you can’t determine that a stack has a clog in it, don’t come back to my house. When you turn around and have to re-spend money for money you’ve been spending already, it’s ridiculous. I’m not happy with the services at all.

    For the first time ever we bought this home warranty from American Home Shield. We live on an island 30 miles out to sea with a population of approximately 15,000 people. When purchasing I specifically asked if they covered our area. they assured me they did. When we needed a refrigerator repaired I called and they said they would get back to me within 24 hours. Two weeks later I was calling them because I heard nothing. Well when I called they said they could not find anyone in our area to service it. So they told me I could find someone but they would have to Call American Home Shield Direct with a quote. I tried but no one in our area would do that. They could give me a written quote but they would not call and be on hold for 50 to 60 minutes. So now it is two months later and nothing has happened even though we have called and spoken with various people.

    I would now like to cancel the plan because it is worth nothing to me if they cannot find service people in our area. I have not been able to reach anyone to do that. It is not an option when you call. I am more than frustrated. You really need to look at the areas they cover and speak to people in your area to see if they cover things. I feel the representative who gave me the incorrect information lied to me just to get me to buy the warranty. I am in the process of trying to cancel the plan if I can ever talk to a real person who understands what I need to do.

    My cooktop stove failed. I called American Home Shield to come and fix it. I thought this gonna be something quick, but it took almost a week. The technician showed up in my house and said they were going to order a part, but they don't know if that part is going to fix it. It's a cooktop, which we are cooking every day. This is not something I can't wait forever to get fixed.

    I asked the technician when they were going to fix it and I was told that they needed to get to the office and get it back to me. Unfortunately, another week came and I didn't hear back. So I called American Home Shield and told them, "You know what? I don't want to get any service from you guys. Just give me back my money, $125, I pay for the service. I'm just going to replace the cooktop and buy another one. Because I cannot wait forever you guys show up and fix it." Then they told me, unfortunately, they couldn't give me back my $125 because a technician already showed up.

    American Home Shield told me that they could do a buyout and said, "Let us to be in touch with the company, whoever they came, and see how much it's going to cost to fix. And most likely, we can pay you that amount." But I never heard back from American Home Shield. I called again and then they said they didn't get the estimate from the company. I said, "Okay. Let me know when you guys get it."

    I waited another two weeks. I called last week and the lady said, "Nothing has happened. And stay on the line and I'm gonna try to call to the company and see what's going on." Unfortunately, the line got cut and I didn't hear back from them. I don't know where I am. I just told them, "You know what? Just give me back my $125." My experience with American Home Shield is a waste of time and money. If something comes urgent, they need to fix it.

    AHS. We obtained an American Home Shield warranty with the recent purchase of our home. Prior to purchase we had the home inspected a professional and assured of no evident fault in plumbing, HVAC, roof, electrical, and all usual aspects of home maintenance. Within one month of taking possession, we became aware of plumbing issues with sewer water backing up from the base of a bathroom toilet. A claim was made with AMERICAN HOME SHIELD who dispatched their plumber to our property after we paid the obligatory deductible. That plumber, and a subsequent “claim dispute” plumber, denied finding any issue although the diagnostic services witnessed personally by me comprised of a single flushing of the toilet and observing water flow at the sewer drain cap near the street curb. AHS denied further diagnostic testing or service and refused to repair the obvious fault. We obtained at our expense service from a reputable plumber.

    A heavily clogged outflow main drain pipe was found by diagnostic fiber optic procedure and subsequently removed. The issue we had experienced was resolved AT OUR EXPENSE. The AHS agent with whom we had been having repeated conversations was so informed but STILL refused to reimburse us for this expense or even the amount of the deductible we spent for this horrible AHS service. He was always friendly but completely useless. AMERICAN HOME SHIELD INSURANCE is a scam. Save money spent on AHS lies and broken promises for those repairs that you may still find in your home purchase even after due diligence in repurchase home inspection.

    The ice maker in the refrigerator wasn't working and the cabin also wasn't working. So the motor wasn't going on and the cabin of the refrigerator was hot, as was the freezer. All the ice melted, and all the food went bad. So I called American Home Shield and they assigned Accord Appliances to come out and evaluate. When the first guy came out, he looked at it, evaluated it, and said, "You need a new compressor. We have to order it and get approval by American Home Shield. It's going to take about a week." This is a second home for me and I live 126 miles away. So I drove home waiting to hear from them.

    About three days later, I called and they told me that I needed to call Samsung because it was under warranty. I called Samsung and they said, "No, it's not under warranty. It was built in 2009. It has a 10-year warranty." So I called American Home Shield and they said they would call Accord back and get things moving. Then Accord called me and said, "Okay, we're making an appointment for another week or five days." The appointment was six days later.

    I had to drive another 126 miles back to my place to meet with this guy. When the guy showed up at the door, he looked at the refrigerator and said, "So what's the problem?" I told him, "It's dead. The motor doesn't go on. It's hot. It's not cold." Then he said, "Oh, well, nobody told me that." I asked him, "Well, don't you have a compressor to put in here?" But he said, "I don't know anything about any compressor." I told him that I drove a long way to get there expecting him to fix this thing that day. But he said, "Well, I don't know what to tell you, but I don't have a compressor with me. There's nothing more I can do." They called this a follow-up evaluation but he didn't know anything about what the first guy had done. If there were ever notes written as to what happened the first time, he had not looked at them.

    I called back American Home Shield and they told me, "We're going to assign another company." I said, "Why?" The rep said, "Well, apparently, Accord doesn't work on Samsung refrigerators." So I replied, "Just hold it a minute. On day one, you asked me what the make and model and all the rest of that information was, and then I called Accord and Accord verified they had the authorization to send out their man. And I sent them the information. I told them it was a Samsung. I sent them the serial number and all the rest of this. Now you're telling me that Accord doesn't work on Samsung. I got to get a special outfit that works on Samsung."

    This claim has been going around and around for over a month now. I've had no refrigerator in that property. I've been driving back and forth and back and forth to try to get this done. The third man came out from this new company. They're Samsung specialists, apparently. The guy looked at the thing and said, "It's not your compressor, it's the circuit board. So we have to, once again, get authorization and American Home Shield will order." They told me that American Home Shield would get the part, contact this company, and they would get the part, and then they'd come out and do it. They told me to call back in 48 hours and find out the status. That was over a week ago. They're telling me that they're waiting for American Home Shield to get the parts to them. So here I am just sitting and waiting again.

    The problem is that this costs me $72 every time I drive out there back and forth. It's 250 miles round trip just to go out there for a guy to look at me and say, "I don't know what I'm doing here. What am I supposed to fix?" I don't believe that Accord can't fix a Samsung refrigerator. American Home Shield just decided that enough was enough and they better get somebody else because two strikes and you're out. They refunded the $125 service fee as some form of compensation for causing me to have a rather large pain in my rear end, for all of the aggravation I'm going through.

    I've been with American Home Shield since the 1980s and they've always been able to get things done for me. So I don't have any problem with American Home Shield as a company. This is one of those ridiculous things that is just ridiculous. I've had a few issues along the way, and sometimes it's taken longer than you would think. But I never, ever thought it was American Home Shield's problem. I'm just trying to look here. They've been pretty satisfactory. But I would tell people today to look around. There are other companies available now that are not as expensive. I started out at $40 for a service fee and now, it's 125. Everything's gone up.

    I've had three houses in the last six years and I found that those insurance policies are pretty much worthless. I didn't buy the policy myself. My Realtor did and I told him he got robbed.

    The roof leaked in two spots, and in one spot, it actually brought down the ceiling in the living room. The contractor was Fog City Roofing out of Oakland and they had a crew come out initially. They inspected it and saw the damaged tile area. We took pictures of it and then they went up on the chimney, and they saw the damaged chimney cap, and they took pictures of that also.

    Apparently, their superiors told them not to replace the chimney cap, but just to put this kind of rubber cement on it. Then they said they were done and walked away from it. They were very reluctant to actually fix anything.

But over the past year or two, we've had their service resulted in additional visits, which is a waste of money for them and for you guys.

    American Home Shield was great, and I’ve had them for 15 years, but the contractors were not up to par. And so, we had to have the same contractor come back three times to fix the same problem that they initiated.

    It's super easy to submit claims from my phone. I just use the app. It's very streamlined. The plan that we have for AHS for our primary home in Aurora, Colorado includes annual heating system checkups. It's been at least two years since I've had a checkup of the heating system. The contractor came out and check it.

    They were here for maybe an hour, running various tests. They let me know that the system is over 10 years old now. It is at age for things to start breaking. But everything was checking out in great condition. Nothing to really worry about for right now, but to keep an eye on it. It's great that AHS offers that as a free service as a preventative service, which is really good. And getting ahold of a service professional takes no time, and they dispatches really quick in the Denver area. It worked out really well.

    I have multiple properties, two of them are very rural in New Mexico, and those have difficulty getting service professionals. I won't get someone assigned for a month, which is terrible when it's an AC unit and you're in the desert, and also a hard time getting plumbing service. So, multiple times I've had to hire AC repair outside and it's cost me anywhere from $600 to $1,500 a time. However, the service professionals I work with are great and they do amazing work. It really depends on where the person lives. If it's not an AC issue or plumbing issue, they're great. I've had them for other things, both in rural New Mexico and in Denver.

    I had a washing machine that wouldn't stop filling up with water. It was overflowing. I spoke with a representative from American Home Shield and that was positive. She took the information and eventually got somebody out here in a few days. That technician was horrible. He looked at the machine and told me that he couldn't find anything wrong with it. He said, “Sign right here on this line and call a plumber.” But it was not a plumber I needed. It ended up being an appliance repairman.

    The second technician seemed like he knew what he was doing. He had to order two parts so it took a while to get the machine fixed, which I wasn't too happy about. But he eventually got it done. American Home Shield needs to choose contractors more carefully. It looked to me like they send the person that they don't have to pay very much and see if he can fix the issue. They eventually have to go ahead and spend the money anyway.

    I purchased home warranty for 3 properties. The sales rep gave assurance that there is no issue to repair or replace any appliances, heating/cooling, plumbing or electrical problems. I called on one property having issues with dishwasher, microwave, stove, kitchen sink and water heater on other property. AHS sent different vendors to fix issues. Couldn’t fix kitchen sink by 3 different plumbers, finally saying warranty doesn’t cover the replacement. One vendor came to fix the dishwasher and ordered the parts, parts finally came after 2 weeks wait time and then said, "Oh it cannot be fixed as it has a crack" which I think he did while repairing it and left saying replacement is not covered under warranty. Same thing was for hot water heater saying it has to be replaced and warranty don’t cover the replacement which was totally contrary to their policy which I was told.

    While this was going I called AHS to cancel my policy and each time they said we still behind our policy and everything will be fixed/replaced soon. Using the tactics to lapse 30 days cancellation with no charge. After 30 days lapsed the policy, charged to my credit card on file. $325 for the start policy and $325 for 2nd month coverage, and $375 for repair requests each one $125. I reported to BBB who also sided with AHS plus my credit card company refused to credit my account Meanwhile I did all the repairs myself due to tenant pressure from my account which cost me $4000. I sent receipts to AHS thru BBB for refund. Total scam. Please stay away from this.

    I had other services before but I'm very pleased with American Home Shield's services. I have been on and off with them for eight years. They're very professional and customer-friendly. The claim and service are very smooth.

    We were having dishwasher malfunctioning or water getting collected at the base of the dishwasher, so we got it fixed. I placed the call online and then American Home Shield arranged this Aurora WA Services. They came out within 24 hours. They were very professional and had very good communication.

    They were letting us know the time window, whether it was morning or the afternoon, when they will arrive. They were texting me that they're a few minutes away and then explained what was going on. They had to place an order for a replacement part that arrived after five business days. Then they came back in five days once the part arrived to replace the part, and the dishwasher is working fine so far.

    For basic stuff, American Home Shield is fine. But for more in-depth stuff, it's a lot that's not covered and you still have to pay out of pocket a lot. I'm questioning the value. When my refrigerator was making a noise, GM Appliance Service came, diagnosed it, had to order a part, and then came back when the part was here. So American Home Shield is good for diagnosing and quick fixes. But replacing, I don't know the value is there, for the amount of money you pay for everything and for the length of time I paid the policy. For the large items that I needed replaced, I still put out too much money and it didn't make that much sense.

    I’ve been with AHS for two years and I'm not happy with them. I filed a claim for my dishwasher which was around 50 years old but still in perfect condition. Prior to me moving in, someone put dishwashing liquid so it was bubbling, and I didn't realize the hose wasn't connected to the garbage disposal. I called to have it repaired and they sent out the dishwasher repair person but he said a plumber needs to come.

    The plumber came out and was pleasant and professional. They said they had to order parts and get stuff approved and it was not approved. I was never notified. I had to call a week later to find out and that it would cost me $450. I'm really disappointed.

    I contacted AHS sometime in November for service on a oil furnace. The first time they sent somebody out was not for oil and they had to send somebody else out and it was a while because there was a weather issue. They went out one time and there was no electricity because our tenant moved out so it still hasn't been resolved and it's been going on for two months.

    When I called today, they said they tried to call the provider but they didn't answer the phone probably because of the holidays. And when I called two days ago, they said they talked to the provider and said they're gonna fill out and send the diagnosis but they never did.

    It's been a five years of having them and the biggest problem I have with them is that it takes forever to get somebody out. My home is usually not an issue, but when I'm calling them to Northeast or Elton it's a problem. They don't have a lot of contractors in those areas apparently and lot of times, they don't even follow through. I'm left calling them repeatedly, trying to get them to move on things. I have a full time job but they give me another full time job trying to stay on top of these contractors. We pay for the service. I used to have a lot of locations covered, but now I've let the service go with some locations because it's not worth it.

    I called American Home Shield for my stove and refrigerator issues. The pilot light wouldn’t stay lit on the stove. They sent All City Appliance Repair. On the refrigerator, the technician just told me to put nothing on the top shelf and leave it for a long time 'cause it freezes. On the stove, the technician came and cleaned the eyes, but it still won't stay lit. He said that it might be because the stove is older. And sometimes we can smell gas because the pilot light never came on. I also told them that I tighten the screw up every other day on the oven door.

    So, I'm gonna try reaching back out to them again because I'm not gonna keep on letting them come in here and repair the stove. I paid for American Home Shield warranty for seven years and I’ve never filed a complaint. I’m hoping to get a replacement stove, but the technician is making it sound like AHS don't replace appliances. They just keep repairing them .

    American Home Shield’s claim process was thorough and they were pretty prompt. They got somebody assigned in just a couple of days. We set up an appointment that was convenient for me and my tenant. This was for a property in Frederick, Maryland. The technicians who went there did a fabulous job. They were timely, thorough, and professional. They identified the problem. They also told American Home Shield that one of the appliances could not be repaired in a cost-efficient manner. The recommended option was to replace. American Home Shield agreed and the stove was replaced.

    My most recent claim, on the other hand, is unresolved. I'm waiting for a contractor for my hot water heater on my property. Our contractor has not been identified and it's probably because the property that I own is in a semi-rural area. Sometimes, getting a contractor in a timely fashion is not always the case. But when one is assigned, they have been thorough and have done the job that has been required.

    American Home Shield is one of the better ones in the industry. Their pricing can be a little bit more costly as you stay with them, but overall, their general approach is remarkable in the sense that they try to work with you and the contractor to get your matter resolved. I'm also thankful that they're getting better companies to come out. For a couple of years, some of the contractors that they sent were not always the ones that I would have wanted. But they have gotten extremely better within the last year. The contractors are not only knowledgeable but also professional and timely.

    I had a problem and my sink was stopped up. After the contractors left, I realized the disposal is not working. So I called American Home Shield and the company said that was not a part of what they should have done. They said they just came to clear the sink. Well, the garbage disposal is a part of the plumbing. I didn't think that I had to specify that because I don't know what's not working. Plus it worked the night before, so there was nothing wrong with it. Whatever it is that stopped up the sink affected the garbage disposal as well. The contractor should have done the job more thoroughly.

    The people American Home Shield sent out to do things didn't finish them. When I called, I couldn't get them to come back. I wasn't satisfied with that.

    When I first got with American Home Shield, I thought it was a good deal. I thought I just have to pay $125 for the person to come out, and that's the only thing I thought I'd have out of pocket. But it's not. And my understanding was if anything breaks, it would be fixed or it would be replaced at no cost. That was not so.

    My furnace went out right around the holidays. The gentleman said it can't be fixed. He didn't tell me what was wrong with it, just said that I couldn't run my heater. So, I got ahold of American Home Shield and told them what's going on, that the contractor said that they'll be sending an estimate.

    The contractor sent me a quote that was two different prices, one at 2,400 just for my furnace. But then they said they would also do my AC. I guess it was right around five grand for both. Then I asked the contractor what kind of furnace they would put in, and they said it was gonna be a Goodman. I asked my buddies that are working on HVAC systems, and they said, "That's the bottom of the barrel. Garbage. You'll be changing that out next year." But if I just went with the furnace, I had to pay $1,800 to the place that was doing it.

    And I asked the contractor why I had to pay that when I was told I wouldn't pay anything. They said, "That's just what it is." So, then I talked to American Home Shield. They said, "That's what your portion would be. But if you wanna do this, you can do this, and it would cost you this." I told them that I'll just find somebody else to do it. And they said that they can do a cashout. I got my buddy to do it, and he put a decent heater. It cost me $2,800. But this is what really gets me. American Home Shield only sent me a hair over $1,000.

    And calling them, it's hard to undestand the customer service rep. They say, "You're gonna be using such and such credit card." Then I have to call back after and say, "I don't wanna use that credit card." And I'm wondering, did it go through? Am I gonna be charged twice?

    I'm seriously thinking about canceling them because I'm paying them every month for nothing. It just isn't worth it. I can probably go through my homeowner's insurance or get on a payment plan with somebody else, or I could open up another account and put money in there a month to buy a good system if something happens. And what's sad about is I got my mom who's a senior hooked into American Home Shield too. If her furnace goes out, she's not gonna be able to afford any cashout.

    My washer had flooded about four times to the point where it flooded into the unit below me and caused damage, and that was after repairs from All Valley. I kept saying there's going to be stuff that keeps breaking on this washer and that they should look at the whole washer. It's an older appliance.

    The only reason I did American Home Shield is because my place is about 10 years old, and all the appliances are pretty old. I thought there would be a reasonable discussion at a certain point when appliances are too old to work. I was told time and time again that the tech will only be sent out to look at the one part that seems broken, and they more than likely will do everything they can to fix that part, even though another part is going to break down. I'm losing money trying to fix this washer five times a year. And there's nothing in the contract that says it's time for them to help you get a new appliance. I've accepted that's never gonna happen with them.

    I had asked for a certified technician because I called Whirlpool, and I was at the point of just finding my own technician because they weren't fixing it. I kept asking AHS if I could use a certified tech that's approved and could look at the whole washer, and I was denied that multiple times. They get to pick who comes out, even though they're not fixing it correctly. There was zero customer service in that regard as well, even though All Valley is not certified to work on Whirlpool washers. They weren't on the list.

    I had called All Valley personally, and I explained the situation multiple times. I didn’t want to schedule them unless they’re going to check out the whole washer. American Home Shield kept telling me they are the only tech that they were going to assign to me. Even though I got yelled at and was told they weren't gonna schedule with me I'm still getting requests to schedule with them. I refused to do it.

    I was literally told I would have to pay another service fee if they come back out. And if they found a different part on my washer wasn't working, that was my responsibility to pay an additional fee. It's ridiculous.

    I definitely don't recommend American Home Shield for other people. I gave up on it, and I bought a new washer and dryer. I'm gonna cancel American Home Shield today.

    On the 15th of October or November, there was a power surge from the telephone pole and it blew out my refrigerator, garage door opener, everything. When I had Yukon come out and check my refrigerator through American Home Shield, the guy was only there for 15 or 20 minutes. He then told me that it was rat-infested and the rats chewed through the wires, which was a boldfaced lie because they never showed me any proof of it. There were no rat droppings, nothing that we could see that was chewed, and the wires were fine. He said he would turn in the order, but didn't know if American Home Shield would cover it.

    I was highly upset that I've been paying AHS for five years on that warranty and then my first request for them to come out, this is what I got. They said it didn’t need to be replaced. I think they just didn't want to fix it because it was an older refrigerator. I had to order a new one. And when they came out and took the old one, I asked if they could check underneath it to see if there was any wire damage. They looked and said no.

    I had been paying $51 a month on American Home Show for five years. When I canceled my membership with AHS, they tried to offer me $30 something a month and three months free, but I declined them all. I didn't wanna deal with them anymore. They don't hold up to what they say they'll hold up to. They advertised that if they can't fix it, they'll replace it. This wasn't the case. They couldn't fix it and I wasn't offered a replacement.

    Whenever I have a problem, American Home Shield addresses it. If you talk to an operator, you get a staff. They get somebody here usually the same day. If you explain what the problem is and that it's an emergency, they would get somebody here. I had a water heater that went out one time and it flooded my whole upstairs. I called American Home Shield and they had a plumber here that afternoon.

    Another claim I had was for a leaking toilet. I know what my contract is because it's right there online. It tells me what it covers and what it doesn't cover. I was assigned a plumber from Denver Metro and everything went fine. I was told I would be contacted within 24 hours and was given their phone number.

    Everything's covered that I need with American Home Shield. I have recommended them to my family and friends. My neighbor doesn't have a plumber and he spent $6,000 fixing a line. With my home warranty, I spent 100. I'd rather go with that. I told my neighbor, “Why are you spending $6,000? You should get American Home Shield. You pay a monthly premium. And if you need your plumber, you spend $100 and they get you a plumber here to fix the problem for $100.”

    I had an issue with my microwave. And I called them, made a claim, and they sent someone out to fix it. The contractors explained what was wrong and they had to wait for a part to come. And then they called me back, brought the part and fixed the microwave.

    Having AHS is worth it. It's worth the coverage that if something breaks down I don't have to worry about it too much– if it's something expensive. I know I can pay $125 and get it fixed because that's my deductible. However with the plan that I'm on there are a lot of things that they don't cover but I don't want to pay any more money to get a different plan.

    I had been very happy with American Home Shield. I got a new washing machine, had no problem with that, didn't have to pay anything. But this garage door issue has been a nightmare. Exit Doors came first and they tried to sell me a garage door opener for over $1,000 and they said that I would only have to pay $695 because American Home Shield would pay the difference. I declined that. Exit then wouldn't come out and fix the garage door unless I paid $395 because they said I needed new wheels and balancing the garage door.

    AHS gave me the option to have a second opinion and Winston came out because Winston had put new wheels on my door way back in January. They came out and said I do not need new wheels. One kid came out and tried to fix it but he needed a part. When it was time for the part to come they sent out a guy and said I need a new motor.

    He said he could get me one for $1,800 and I asked what if I buy my own opener? He said he would charge me $500 to install it. I went to Home Depot and I bought a motor, a garage door opener, and they also installed it and I paid under $400 for everything. I got a Chamberlain motor and he installed it. It was $178.

    I tried to call American Home Shield. Since the motor is covered on my plan, the least they could do is reimburse me. I talked to somebody that's the next level up from talking to a representative and I never heard back. It’s very difficult and frustrating.

    My experience with AHS customer service has been unsatisfactory. They said that my claim was closed before it was closed. They didn’t’ communicate with me that they were taking further steps. They made me call them multiple times to get results. It was a difficult process.

    Originally, the process was pretty simple. I called and told them I needed a claim. They sent me an email and the first guy showed up. But he was not a good repair technician. He made false reports and then I had to go through a whole long process to get my refrigerator repaired.

    I've had American Home Shield since 2018 when I first moved to the property. The interactions with reps were okay but in some cases, I realized that it didn't really help me. The information that they provided didn't really help and I had to call back again. But at least they did sound professional.

    It was very hard for me to get an appointment scheduled with the contractors. When they come out, they don't schedule an appointment. It's either you have to be available the same day or you have to be available by the next day, which means likely you'd have to have someone else at the home. They just go by emergency basis for everything.

    I had an issue where my pilot light was not staying on. The technician came out the first time lit it and that didn't work. They had to come back out. My mom was the one that was home at that time. It seemed like they were very quick with everything that they did but didn't tell her anything.

    I also had a previous appointment where I needed to have it serviced. I explained to American Home Shield I couldn't get an appointment because the contractor never really scheduled an appointment with me so I wasn't able to get my heater serviced. It stopped working. I've always had it serviced every year.

I had to take a picture of the tub, of what we removed, to make sure they had access to the pipes.

    The heat wasn’t working and the house wasn’t warming up when I raised the temperature. I called and AHS sent an automated text about who was gonna call. Then the people called within 24 to 48 hours and made an appointment. They came, fixed it and charged the deductible. The tech was cool and very professional. He fixed it quickly and he knew exactly what it as. I haven’t had any problems since.

    AHS picks the contractor and sometimes, they don’t pick the best ones. Then if you have a problem, AHS tells you to go back to the contractor. It makes it difficult and somebody comes out that’s not as experienced as others. It’s not that I have a problem with AHS but when I have a problem with the contractor, that’s when American Home Shield washes their hand of the problem. They just put a bad review in and they’ll call the people. But, I’m the one to go back and forth with their picked contractor. Besides that, they’re punctual and they follow up.

    The water dispenser wasn't working properly and the tech’s diagnosis was quick. Plus, he was friendly and thorough. The water is coming out so fast now that it sometimes overflows. The water dispenser is working like it’s supposed to. But I had an instance before when I had to argue with American Home Shield to get the faucet covered when the handle broke. When something's broken, it's broken regardless of whether there was foul play involved. It was especially frustrating that we had already called AHS when the issue first started with the faucet. At that time, they told us they wouldn’t replace it unless it actually broke. So we dealt with a sticky, malfunctioning faucet for at least a year, maybe two, because we were following their instructions. Then, when it finally broke, they turned around and said they wouldn’t cover it. I want a little bit more ease and understanding. That’s what I pay the warranty for.

    Still, I've referred American Home Shield to a few people, when they talk about getting home warranties. There were a couple of instances where I had to argue with them to get it fixed, but they fixed everything we've asked them to do. AHS has done a good job. I recently found out that I had more coverage than I thought I did. My hot water heater is now covered and some other items. So, as long as they keep covering me and don't give me a hassle when I genuinely need them, we'll keep using them.

    AG Appliances was the strangest appliance company that I've ever had with American Home Shield that came out to fix anything. There was a lot of really contradictory information. The first time they came out, they opened the door of the dishwasher, looked in it, and pressed the buttons, which I think put it into diagnostic mode because it started to spin. It hadn't been spinning for me on the normal mode and they implied that they didn't see anything wrong with the dishwasher.

    Then the technican said he would request and see if American Home Shield would be willing to get me a new motor. I said, "If you're saying you don't see anything wrong with it and you're requesting a motor, why are they gonna approve a motor?" He was like, "Oh, because you're saying it doesn't work." I thought, "Shouldn't there be something else that he's looking at?"

    The claim got denied because the dishwasher spun. I called back American Home Shield and said I couldn't get the dishwasher to spin when I do my normal dish cycle. If it's not working in real mode, then that implies there's still something wrong with it because I have dirty dishes every single time I open the thing up. So American Home Shield sent AG back again, and this time I left all the dishes in there. I left the door unopened, so the clean light was still lit up so they could see exactly what it looked like and the state the dishes were in.

    When the technican came, he looked in there and said the tap water was not getting hot enough and that I should run the tap before I do the loaded dishes. Actually, he had mentioned that even the time before and I told him I had done what he said. I told him never in the past did I ever need to run hot water before I ran the dishwasher. But when he left the first time, I ran it twice and I did run the hot water first. I even put a thermometer under the hot water to see what temperature it was coming to and it was going to 129.

    When he came back this time, I had a thermometer ready. I ran the hot water and showed him it was hitting at least 125. I opened up the dishwasher and showed him how the dishes were dirty even with the clean light on. The little dishwasher pellet would never even get dissolved.

    He was like, "No, I have my own thermometer." He sticks it inside the dishwasher and said it was not hitting that temperature. Therefore, I would need to call a plumber. If the water is hot on the outside, why would that be a plumbing issue? He said he would talk to American Home Shield.

    We ended up getting a notification the next day—again, denied—and now a plumber was coming out. The plumber came out and said the exact same thing I did. He said he didn't see how anybody looking at it could ever think it was a plumbing issue. He said it was very straightforward. You can literally see the water going into the dishwasher because the pipes are clear under the sink, and you can see there's no issue with flow being blocked.

    He said you could see that the water is getting hot enough. In fact, it gets even hotter than is required. He also said this kind of dishwasher already has a heating element, so you wouldn't even need to get that hot. It can bring the temperature a whole lot of the extra way without the sink itself needing to be such a hot temperature. It was not a plumbing problem, so he left.

    We ended up calling back again for American Home Shield, and at that point, I asked if we could have somebody else come out. They said to let the AG finish it, so they came back out again. The guy asked if we had a plumber and I said yes and that the plumber said it wasn't a plumbing problem.

    He looked at the dishwasher again and said they were gonna need to uninstall it because they couldn't do a diagnostic like that. I wanted to tell him that he was supposed to be doing a diagnostic from visit one. At that point, it had already been over a month and how many visits. He had never once mentioned that it needed to be uninstalled.

    He said we were gonna need to uninstall it, and that they don't do that. He said he would submit it to American Home Shield and see what they say. I called American Home Shield right after he had left. I told them the guy said I had to pay to uninstall the dishwasher and I asked if that was correct. They said no, unless it's something unusual—if the tile is blocking it or there's some special installation, then we may have to do the uninstall. But if it's just normal, like sitting in the cabinet, they can do it.

    I'm the one that had the dishwasher installed when I moved in and it was a typical installation. It's just a hole under the cabinet. Someone stuck it in from Lowe's and bolted it. But the next day, the claim was denied again.

    I called American Home Shield back again and now they were saying it's not covered and that if I read my contract, American Home Shield doesn't cover uninstalls. They read me this whole thing, but I went and checked my contract and it doesn't actually address the issue either way. The contract says they work on installed dishwashers. That kind of implies you don't need to uninstall them. So whatever they were quoting was not specifically from the contract uploaded into my file at American Home Shield. Maybe it's a contract they have with the vendor.

    I was really surprised on that because it was gonna be expensive to have the dishwasher uninstalled. I called more than once on it to American Home Shield but they really held their ground. They said my claim was closed unless I uninstalled the dishwasher.

    I had to go on Yelp and try to get anybody out here to uninstall the dishwasher because it's not cheap. Everybody wants a full-service fee visit to come out and uninstall the dishwasher. It was $135 and somebody uninstalled it.

    I called American Home Shield to see if we can have somebody come out. But I wanted to be very clear. If I was paying $130 to uninstall the dishwasher, the guy was gonna make sure that he was gonna check it thoroughly. Every time he comes is an excuse. Was he gonna be able to do a full diagnostic with the dishwasher taken out? It's not gonna be hooked up to electricity or water. I didn't want him to say, "Oh, I need water now. I need electric. Now that it's pulled out, I can't do a full diagnostic."

    They said it was fine, that he was coming here to do the diagnostic and that he knows how to do this all the time. They recalled him in and AG immediately said they had ordered a part. Well, maybe the guy was trying to get ahead of the visit. He had looked at it before and other people had said the motor. I wasn't really convinced because it seemed like other issues were going on in there. But I thought, "Let's just see when he shows up."

    When he showed up, he immediately replaced the motor. I asked if he was gonna also look, make sure it was working, and check other things in it. He point-blank said no, and that they were just replacing the motor. I was like, "You're not gonna check the other parts or do a diagnostic? I thought that's why you needed to have it pulled out?" Then he said, they couldn't because it was not hooked up.

    He was like, "Ma'am, what is wrong with it is the motor." I go, "If you're not gonna do a diagnostic and you're not gonna test it, and I paid the money to have it reinstalled again, what if it doesn't work?" He was like, "Ma'am, I am 100% sure this is what it needs."

    This guy was so rude every single time he showed up. It was crazy. We've had so many other American Home Shield vendors and they've all been fine. Two different guys came from this company, AG, and they show up already angry and short of patience.

    I even tried calling American Home Shield while he was there to tell them the guy wasn't doing the diagnostic, but I couldn't get through in time. At the moment he saw me calling them, he finished it and just boom, left.

    At this point, I was concerned. The reinstall was even more expensive that having the dishwasher uninstalled, and if I paid to get it reinstalled and it's not gonna work again, I was gonna be out more than $300. And we already know AG doesn't do a diagnostic with the dishwasher installed. I'll have to still uninstall it and it was gonna exceed the cost of the dishwasher.

    I called American Home Shield again and they asked if I wanted the claim escalated or if I wanted them to call AG and see if they can come back out and do a diagnostic. The gal that I was talking to that particular time seemed really impatient with it. She said that she would go and escalate it, but then she would also call AG and see if they can come out, and they would let me know that Monday. So I waited and waited, but I didn't hear from them.

    I called back again but I wasn't getting anywhere with it and we had a dishwasher sitting in the middle of our kitchen. I couldn't technically prove that it was not working. At that point, it sounds like I'm stalling when this guy is thinking 100% it was gonna work. I couldn't prove it doesn't work unless it's reinstalled, so we all seemed to be at a standstill.

    I paid to have somebody $180 to get the dishwasher reinstalled and did the first batch of dishes. It was fun. The motor worked, but everything in there as cold and it wasn't dry. Half the dishes still were dirty and the other ones had the dishwasher film clinging to them. If you put anything on it, you could taste the soap.

    I called back American Home Shield again and this time, I needed to escalate it because it had been months since we started the claim. I was not gonna pay to have the dishwasher uninstalled and reinstalled again. They ended up searching around and got another company to come up.

    Sears came out and determined the heating element wasn't working. So they replaced the heating element, and Sears was actually able to uninstall the dishwasher and reinstall it for free when they were doing their visit. So now it works. They were able to fix it in one visit.

    The new guy was completely nice, normal and just like all the other vendors. I just had the worst luck in the world with AG. I looked at their Yelp when I started getting frustrated with them and their reviews were all the same. It was just a ton of people all with the exact same experience I had. They were 1-star on Yelp.

    When my microwave broke, American Home Shield wanted to assign AG again and I said to pick somebody else. They picked a different company and at least they were able to fix the microwave in one go. I don't have much faith in AG being able to come and do any of it.

    I have an over-the-range microwave, and of course, I had to uninstall it for the company to even look at it and fix it. To uninstall the microwave and reinstall it was the cost of the microwave. The one little component they fixed may have made it work, but it's still making crunchy sounds in there.

    I've had American Home Shield for four years and haven't had any claims until this year. So this was the year I really got to use them. When you factor in the service visit fee and uninstalling and reinstalling the appliance, the American Home Shield plan is no longer saving money.

    In fact, it can cost money unless you really insist. When you're weighing out if you wanna pay the cost of the policy, you’re thinking of a $100 service fee. But you shouldn't be. You should be thinking more like a $300 service fee minimum because you're gonna have to pay to uninstall stuff and pay to do all these other things that these vendors won't do. That affects the value of the policy.

    I would have felt differently about it if the service agreement they gave me specifically stated that, but it didn't. Plus I literally called ahead of time to confirm they covered it, and when I called back again, they said something completely different. That inconsistency there is where most people would be disappointed with the policy. It's not transparent.

    My fridge went down on Friday, October 17th. I called AHS and it would take them seven days before someone could even come out, even though I sat and walked them through exactly what was going on. They said they can give me a tentative appointment, which was for next Monday, which happened to be the 20th. They sent a guy from Astro Appliance out here. He kept telling me exactly what I told him. The fridge is not working, the freezer is not cooling, it's not holding temperature within the fridge, and it's not making ice. They have been to my home in April of this year and said they didn't find an issue with the fridge.

    He gave me a vague work order stating what was wrong with the fridge and that someone at his office would give me a call and/or they would make the decision then whether or not they would propose that AHS replace the refrigerator, or if they'd fix it. They then called and set up an appointment within four days. Tuesday, I heard nothing. I called AHS at about 4:45 and said, "What is going on? Have you heard from Astro?" They said Astro or AHS would call me, but I heard from no one. AHS then said they’ll call Astro and see what's going on because they haven't submitted anything.

    Wednesday, I got a worker saying that they ordered the part and that it would be fixed. The gentleman who came out said he was basically their service level expert. He may have been talking to himself, but I heard him say, "I don't understand why they sent that other guy out here. He was not a refrigerator person."

    What he put in was for them to replace the compressor in the fridge. The gentleman who came out said, "I don't think you have a compressor issue, but since they sent me with a compressor, I'm going to put the brand-new compressor in, and let's see what's going on. But I think there's something else going on with the fridge." I said, "Will that fix the ice and freezer problem and the temperature not holding?" He said, "It should, but I detect that the compressor is cutting in and out, and that I don't know that this will hold." Right off the bat, he wasn't sure, but he did what his job asked him to do, which was replace that compressor.

    The supervisor for Astro rushed and called me Thursday morning to say, "Everything's working okay, right?" I said, "It appears at this time, but I will let you know if that does not work." The next day, all the ice had melted. Everything that was in the top part of the fridge was warm and stuff that I put in the freezer had melted out. I called AHS right away to say that whatever Astro did didn't work. The person that I spoke to said, "We'll try to reach back out 'cause the case is closed." I called and said "No, you're gonna have to open that up. The refrigerator is back to ground zero. It's right where we started and nothing has been fixed." They came out again and fixed it, but two days later, it was back down again.

    AHS finally pulled up after I made a big stink. I'm calling them all daily, keeping them all apprised of everything. But the technician is also saying that Astro does not like them talking to the customer, telling them what's going on because then that creates issues for them. Lo and behold, the gentleman on the last go around, when he came out, said that after tearing the hole inside the fridge out and looking to see if he could detect anything else, said that the brand-new compressor got moisture in it. He said, "You have an internal leak going on in this refrigerator, and it's not fixable. No one's going to be able to fix this.“

    I was told they’ve ordered the part and they’ll get out there, but it'll be the following Friday.'" Each time Astro called me, it was another week before they could come out. It’s been going on for a little bit over a month, back and forth. At one point, I said, "I don't want Astro in my home. Do not send them back out here. How many times do they get to come out and not fix it, then tell you it's fixable, and they’ve ordered the part?“

    But AHS was like, ”Let's get with Astro and see what's going on." Some of it was the fault of AHS. They're hearing what's going on, but they're pushing it off. They're trying to say the member has to say it's not fixable before they can look into it any further. That does not make sense to me. I was with them for almost 15 years.

    In the back and forth, they said, "Fine. We'll have them fix it." Initially, they offered me a little pittance, but I said, "I'm not taking $200." They said that would be maintenance and repairs. If I don't want Astro back out here, they can't get anyone else to come out and fix it. I'll just have to take that little whatever and walk away. I'm like, "Absolutely not. If you're saying that they're going to fix it, have them come fix it. I'm okay with that."

    Astro called me and set up the appointment for the following Friday. That Monday morning, I get a call from Astro, saying, "After looking at it further, that refrigerator's gonna continue to go down. We're just gonna change our report and submit it for AHS to just give you full replacement value on the refrigerator. We're not going to come out and fix it." I said, "Are you sure? Because what I don't want is for you all to roll back. They tried to give me $300 on a refrigerator, and that makes no sense. I've been paying thousands of dollars in, and for you to do that, that was ridiculous. The guy from Astro said, "No, they're gonna give you replacement value." It then turned out to be $497 because the lady at AHS explained, "What we do is we take off everything that we pay to Astro, and you get the difference." That was disrespectful, which is why I walked away.

    AHS sells a policy to these homeowners, telling them that, "You give me X, Y, Z, and when things happen, we're gonna either fix it or we'll replace it.“ What they've systematically done over these years is they've added fine print on top of fine print, negating all of that. When you look at it, it says, ”The vendor has an unlimited number of tries to fix your refrigerator." That means me sitting there for almost six weeks without a fridge was okay by AHS, and that's unacceptable.

    It happened, unfortunately, on Thanksgiving morning. When I woke up, there was a giant puddle in my refrigerator. I could hear the compressor gasping and struggling. When I opened up the doors, the coldness was minimal and everything was melting. I had to tell my grandkids and daughters not to come.

    MS Appliance came out and did the job. The technician, Alex, was very good, clean, neat, and knew exactly what to do. He had the right equipment to determine what part needed to be repaired.

    They were very prompt in getting the part Monday afternoon and Alex was back here at 5:00 PM that same day. I thought the refrigerator wasn't going to be fixed until a week later because it’s 12 years old. The parts may not be in a warehouse or may have needed to be custom-ordered. They were excellent and efficient as far as getting it done even when dealing with a four-day holiday weekend.

    However, since the refrigerator is old and the seals are the original seals, I can open the doors with my little pinky with no resistance. So after the initial repair, there's still some miscellaneous moisture in the vegetable and meat drawer.

    I talked to an American Home Shield agent after the job was done, and they said I'm covered for 30 days. If the contractor that did the original job recommends that I need door seals, then I'm covered for parts and labor. I was initially denied, and so I called back and spoke with a lovely lady.

    She said they will send out a different contractor to get a second opinion. I won't be charged a $100 service call and I'll have to accept the result. If they say I don't need door seals, then that's it. I just got off the phone with the second opinion technician and he'd be calling me back shortly when he arrives.

    I've been a long-time customer for probably 20 years and I've recommended American Home Shield to various people over the years. I'm a senior citizen on a single income. I was hoping they might have a senior citizen plan because that $87.99 a month is getting to be a little steep compared to $34.99 when I started.

    I heard a hissing sound coming from the faucet that connects to the fridge. There might have been a leak so I submitted a ticket online. Doing it online is really easy and convenient. I don’t have to be on hold and I just go online, put the information I need, and soon enough, somebody calls me.

    The guy who came by really did a good job and I really enjoyed their service. I feel at ease because the issue was stressing me a lot. I’ve had a few other claims through them and they’ve always given me a professional and thought-out services. Overall, AHS makes things easy, which I appreciate. Our realtor recommended them and I’ve had this service since we bought our house. They’re really user-friendly and transparent.

    I had a heating claim and the tech didn’t tell my wife that he had to order a part. He fixed the furnace but it went out hours after he had left so we were without heat for several days until he came back. I called American Shield back to let them know that the furnace was still not working. I reached out to the contractor and he came back out. Once he started unscrewing the cover, he said that it was the one he ordered a board for and that it hasn’t come in yet. He ordered the board the same day ‘cause he really didn’t order anything previously.

    The board came in and he came back out. But he still couldn’t fix it because it was missing a piece that wasn’t in the box. To me, if you are a contractor, you’re supposed to examine all the parts and make sure everything is what it needs to be with. So they had wind up coming back out again. We were without heating for Thanksgiving. Eventually, the issue was done after three or four attempts and it’s working right now.

    I and my wife have recommended AHS to people when they were on point. It’s something good to have but it’s been dissatisfying for the last four years. I had a very bad experience with the garage door opener concern where we had to come out of our pocket. The techs came out and told us that we needed this and that, without sending out a second contractor to get a second opinion. They quoted a price and American Shield went with it. That’s very unprofessional because these contractors can make up anything. They can say it’s $1,500 but it’s only a $200 to $300 job, and that’s something that’s covered under the plan. We also keep getting an increase every year.

    We also had our air conditioner on our second level go out. The guy went up in the attic at least three times trying to figure out something. Next, we got a price saying that we gotta pay $1,500 out of pocket. We took it that he was new and just got released out of training and he didn’t know what he was doing. That price amount is not right and AHS wouldn’t send us a second person out there to assess the problem to see if that was the case. Also, when submitting a claim, it takes too many days to get a response back or to have somebody to come out.

    Every time American Home Shield comes to our house, they find some reason not to do the repair. We had an icemaker that wasn't working and a dishwasher's tray with all four wheels that came off. They said that because it was at a detached garage, it was not covered. Previously, we had been through the same question and they said it was covered under my plan. They wouldn't do a second opinion, too. Because I have a higher level plan, the area above my garage is covered. I pay for the detached garage and the square footage above it as well. I pay a higher price because they said that would be covered, then it was not.

    The impression that we have gotten from the people they sent to our house is that they don't really want to do the repairs because they don't get reimbursed very well. All they really want is to come out so they can get the $80 service call fee. They did nothing but made me pay for everything. We were in San Antonio, Texas, without AC to the area where my son is. We were unable to use his equipment for months waiting on American Home Shield to resolve the issue.

    Not even a year ago when the AC over the garage stopped working, the guy that came was very concerning. He went up and said there's a box up in the attic. My husband immediately removed all the boxes from the attic so that there would be no problems. The man then said it's too late. He refused to even look at the unit but then proceeded to sit out in front of our house for an hour and a half. I saw him walking around in front of my neighbor's home and around our house taking pictures. He was also very interested in details about my teenage daughter, like where her area of the house is. It was very bizarre.

    I told AHS that I was super uncomfortable with the person they had sent out. When I reported it, they said that the man told them it was a separate home on the property. We only live on a little bit over half an acre. There isn't multiple homes on the property. There's one home and an area over the garage that's included in the square footage that we pay for. I said I'm confused because when we first moved in, they came and repaired years ago the door opener to the garage that's detached. They've come here before and repaired things. I don't understand why, all of a sudden, it's not included in our policy. At the end of all of that, they concluded that it was indeed included in our policy. I said if it's not, then we need it included. They told me not to worry and it was a mistake. We finally got the AC repaired. I had to pay for my own person to come and do that but they reimbursed me for part of it.

    I've been very dissatisfied with American Home Shield over the last couple of years. Initially, they were good a good company and I was happy. We very seldomly call them. If it's something little, we just take care of it ourselves. We just have a plumber or somebody we just pay for to come repair things. But every single repair with AHS, I have to call and be placed on hold. After I've been on hold forever, then they just read back exactly what they originally said. By the time I spent hours and hours to get them to honor their contract, it's almost not even worth it anymore. Just put the money in the bank what you would pay them for when you have repairs.

    My washing machine did not spin. I called American Home Shield’s number that's on my phone. It's very easy to submit a claim and they take your money really quickly for the deductible. The problem is getting a provider located to come and do the fix because I'm 50 miles from the next largest city. Also, I talked to several different contractors and some of them refused to even work with American Home Shield. They said the warranty company didn’t pay on time and gave them the runaround. They had to call ahead.

    The last contractor I had did great. They called, got what the problem was, and they got my serial number. They went on ahead and ordered the part before they drove 70 miles down here. It really saved American Home Shield money. It also saved me and them time because what normally happens is a contractor comes down to my house and sees what the problem is without bringing any kind of part. They have to order the part and then they come back. That could be anywhere from two weeks to two months.

    I commended the last contractor I had because they called and I asked, “How do you know?” They said they have either a program or a book where they look up a particular serial number. They look up what is happening to it, what the trouble is, and they look up different things to troubleshoot it. They will then order a part accordingly before they even come down. I wish all of the contractors would do that. That would save them so much time.

    I also had a claim for my garage door opener. The guy came prepared and had everything that he thought he might need. He fixed the garage door opener. He was done in three hours. Another claim I had was for a hot water heater that went out and it took four weeks before American Home Shield even found anybody who would come. And the person who came gave me the runaround about even getting down here. I ended up calling the contractor that my school district dealt with. He did plumbing and I paid him out of pocket to get my water heater fixed. I wasn't gonna wait anymore for a hot water heater. It was ridiculous. American Home Shield wouldn't pay for it, though, because the contractor wasn't licensed in plumbing.

    On the whole, American Home Shield is not the best. It's too big a hassle. The only reason I'm still keeping it is because I have an older AC unit and I know it's gonna go out. I'm just hoping it's not in July when it's 110 and it takes American Home Shield two months to figure out that I need a new one. They will pay but the amount has been lowered since I've had the warranty. I’ve been with American Home Shield for years. They only pay 4,000 now. On a new unit, that's a help.
