I started with American Home Shield in September and had to use it once. So far, so good. They promptly responded to my questions. I had a service technician come out within 24 hours for an electrical issue. The technician originally came out for two connectors but he saw that the first one was burnt because the wire in the back had detached. With the second one, it was a wire that was attached in the junction box in my attic. He did three in total. I told him, “It looks like I need to go around and check the rest of my outlets myself and replace them.” He said they were quick connects which is perfectly legal but it's not as sturdy. They won't last as long. The house is from 1978 so all of my outlets are probably in need of a little bit of repair.

I like American Home Shield’s service but I'm still waiting for my air conditioning to get fixed, and I don't like that part. Other than that, American Home Shield has been wonderful. If you call and you need help, they send someone out immediately. You don't have to wait. You might have to wait for a day before somebody comes out.
Mister Freeze came out last week for the air conditioner. Here in California, it had been about 110 degrees for about three months straight. The air conditioning never did turn off because it was like 80 degrees at nighttime. So, when it cooled down, and I turned the air off, the air wouldn’t go off. The fan continued to run and that was not normal. The fan on the thermostat is off. So, the fan should not be on. I called American Home Shield to send somebody out. The first company came. The guy said he couldn't do it because he doesn't know what was going on. Mister Freeze came out and the guy said, “Yeah, it's a board that's burned out.” So, he ordered a board. He brought the board, put it in, and the fan continued to run. So, he took the part off that was causing the fan to continue to run. He put a new board on there.
He took a big part off the air conditioning and took it with him. He had to order this part, and he'd get back to me the next day, but no one ever did. I waited a couple of days and called to see what was going on. As far as the home warranty itself, I haven't had any problems with American Home Shield. If I called and I have a problem with any appliances, they right away call somebody and email me and say, “This is the service person. You can call them or they’ll call you.”

Shortly after I moved in, I had to have my hot water heater replaced and I told American Home Shield that I did not want to have it replaced on my own. I wanted them to do that. All I had was the ability to fill out something online. Then all of a sudden, a couple of days later, I get a check for $363. I called and complained about it because I had to pay an additional $1,100 myself for it. I had a negative feeling about that. But May Heating and Air was very good. My air conditioning was not working and apparently, a fuse had been blown. They replaced it. So, it was very quick and simple.

The icemaker was not working and the technician told me that I needed a new icemaker. They had to order it through American Home Shield and it took a couple of weeks. But he came back with a new icemaker, installed it and it’s working perfectly. I like that the technician did not tell me that I needed a new refrigerator, just a new icemaker. Other companies will want to go for the more expensive alternative but this technician was very honest. So, I appreciate that.

American Home Shield’s service is good. Sometimes, it's the people they send out to try to do the job that's the problem, but they have no control over that. We had Pro Tech come out to do our dryer, and they fixed it. With some parts though, they were to come back and finish what they ought to have finished, but they never came back. I had to call them to find out when they were coming back out, and I have not heard a thing else from the guy about it. We’re in Tuscaloosa, and they work different areas, but if it's been three weeks, and they haven’t gotten back in touch with me about it or with American Home Shield, that’s bad business for them. Other than that, American Home Shield is worth keeping and my friend, my wife and I are enjoying it.

I've been paying for a plan for almost a year. I've had one clean claim. But it had 3 problems that I needed to get taken care of. When they turn around and say if you have a leak and if it's inside your house which is 4 corners of a house they will take care of it, they will cover it, don't worry about it, you're told that by 5 reps or agents who want to call it. So, when you have a claim and going to have a major leak which is going to happen. Where water is dripping next to my water meter that is inside my house you get a phone call from an idiot saying that, "This is our claim we're sticking to it."
When I've actually asked for a second opinion. So in the meantime nothing has got resolved. I've collected the $125.00 of my hard earned money and Still today I have to deal with the bureaucracy and ** of this company when when they should actually just get it fixed and it's less of a headache and I don't even have to leave a nasty review like I am today.
So, so anyways I think there should be a should be a multi and I mean multi lawsuit nationwide against this company. Because they like to save money and Really like to save money and really don't care about your home. They just like to rake the dollars and just like every insurance company out there in America. When you look at a medical insurance just like a hospital or a doctor's or anything like that but they're a scam artist and I believe that no one should go through a home warranty hell. Pay for your ownself.
Believe me. These people are so ** up idiots that don't know anything and most of the time they have people when you call they're from a foreign country that can even hardly ever speak English. So when my contract is up I will not be renewing whatsoever. And I think that everybody should really look at their contract because in my contract it said all 4 corners of your house that you live in, not not a say a porch on it but anything else inside the dwelling they do cover. It's a bunch of malarkey and a bunch of **.

The tech who came recently was wonderful. He was very professional, quick, and came at a decent time. Usually, the repair people come closer to the end of the timeframe than the beginning, but he was here at the beginning of the timeframe. He said between 8:00 and 12:00, and he was here by 8:15. American Home Shield’s service is a little slow sometimes, but it's a good deal. I do a ticket, and the people call me to make an appointment. It’s usually within the same week that I make the call, but with the air conditioner, sometimes it’s the next week or the week after that, and usually, it’s when it's hot.

American Home Shield does a good job. My dryer went out and they had to send for a part, so the tech had to come twice. It's running beautifully now. But I'm still hesitant with the pool. There were some extra issues with it. So, I'm still waiting to get that resolved. Also I have to ask some of the reps to talk slower. They're really hard to pronounce everything. Sometimes, you just have to guess at what they're saying. One rep's words are still hard to hear. But she talked well. And they're all very nice and courteous. And they apologize and repeat what they're saying so that you understand, and they get right on it. Whoever company that they call to come out, they call me within the day, and they're usually out two to three days, unless it's the weekend, and I appreciate that.

Everything went fine. American Home Shield helped us and walked us through the process. The contractor has been here twice. They had to fix the shower. The water wasn't coming out. They had to go inside of the wall to fix the pipes. They very polite and well-mannered. They just came in, did the job and cleaned up behind themselves. Everything was neat.

I had a claim for the pool and then for the dryer too. Both things were fixed pretty quick and everything's good. The pool pump was working fine but it was leaking water. The contractor fixed the leak. But as soon as they fixed the leak, it started making a really loud noise. They told me that it was because the leak leaked into the other thing and the warranty wouldn't cover that, so I had to pay them another $125 to fix that, which I took their word for it. But it sounded fishy because it wasn't making the noise until they fixed it. Other than that, I'm happy with American Home Shield.

I’m very satisfied and impressed with the ETA for any open services. The last service that I had, when I initially called and schedule the service, I had a very bad experience with the contractor that was sent to my house. Because I'm a Realtor, I was able to speak with one of the managers and the supervisor who are on site with us there. So, they were able to jump in and fix the issues that I had. The AC went out. In Texas, the heat is hot. But the assistant of the manager was able to handle it quickly. She was able to communicate with customer service. They sent me another contractor who came out, was very nice and outgoing. So overall, I'm very satisfied with American Home Shield’s services.

I've had AHS on and off for a couple of years with different properties. Sometimes, on simple things, they’re okay. On more elaborate things, they can be a real pain in the butt. Recently, water stopped coming out of the faucet and we didn't know why. When the tech came out, he more or less took it apart in 10 minutes or so, and got whatever part had broken. It turned out that a washer got clogged up in there. When he went to put it back, he couldn't quite get it back perfectly and now, instead of the water coming out of the faucet in a continuous flow, there's a little drip sideways. He's also telling me that I really need a new head on the sprayer.

I've submitted three claims and two were handled 100% to my satisfaction but the third wasn't approved and they didn't send me anything in the mail telling me the reason or the reasons why. I called a few times to get more information and it was always they have to reach out to the contractor. The responses were pretty uniform. I didn't like how one of my claims was handled as far as not keeping me in the loop with what was going on. If they're going to deny a claim, let the customer know exactly why. Other than that, the customer service reps are always really nice and pleasant and it’s fairly easy to get through.

The claim process was quick. But I didn't like the process because I wasn't fully aware of what was covered in the warranty with American Home Shield. So it was quite stressful. Then I wound up coming out of pocket for the majority of the unit. But it was just the plan that I had, and it wasn't fully explained to me in the beginning. So the last experience was quite bad.

My dishwasher wasn't draining properly. The first time it happened, I vacuumed all the water out, cleaned the filter and followed the instructions on the American Home Shield website for when that happens. The next time it was loaded, it was the same thing. The water didn't drain properly. So I called in and the tech came down and diagnosed it as a defective motor. A couple of weeks later, they came back and put the motor in, and the gentleman said everything was fine. I ran it the next day and it wasn't fine, it was still not draining. So, I had the gentleman come yesterday and he tested it a few times and made some initial repairs. I haven't run it since. I didn't have any problems with them at all. But if I was the guy who put the motor in, I would have made sure that it worked before I left.
AHS is good for some repairs but not for some. Awhile back, I had some heat pump issues and they went to replace the heat pump. I've been told by other people that worked on it that they did not put the correct size for my house. They went a little bit small instead of a little bit over. So, I wasn't happy about that. I wish they would have gone a little bit over as far as the capacity and how it works. If they told me that they were giving me a bigger one and it might cost a little extra, I would have paid the extra. But they downsized me instead of giving me the option.

Several weeks ago, the fan and the heater both went out. We got a call on that, and the contractor came and fixed it. It was fine for a couple of weeks. And for some reason, it stopped. A fuse blew. So, we had the contractor come out again. They checked it. There was a half-inch long fuse and an eighth of an inch around in there that had been cremated. So they replaced the fuse, and it's working fine. They found the problem quickly, fixed it and left. They were here 15 minutes total. I was very satisfied. I paid $125 upfront, and after that, everything was taken care of by American Home Shield. That's the beauty of it.

I had a simple plumbing issue that lasted for months because incompetent people got sent out that didn't know what they were doing. But the last company that American Home Shield sent out knew how to do it. He was legit. He told me he's from another state where they actually have to be trained. He was excellent. I want to work with him if I have any more plumbing issues. It's a waste of our time and a headache dealing with people that didn't know what they were doing.
Sometimes I can't understand the people that I call in and speak to at American Home Shield but sometimes I can. It was incredibly frustrating dealing with a basic faucet issue in my house because people were telling me different things. If you were to look at the history of how that was handled, those people didn't know what they were talking about. So I had to go to the person above the person for them to realize what was going on. All of that could have been circumvented or avoided if people that are lower on the totem pole per se were more trained.

My AC died in the middle of a 100-degree heat wave. One of the fuses had blown. The issue was getting somebody out. The first tech they assigned was out of Lockhart. They told me they couldn't get out until a month and a half out. AHS reassigned my claim and the second tech was out in a week. I really appreciate AHS's service. What I've found is that I'll request outside authorization and they would give me the list of people I can't use. There's nobody in Cloverdale where I live as it's a bedroom town. It's always a struggle to get somebody without outside authorization. It takes four days to get that and it's constant conversation. Other than that, AHS has been great about paying this tech to fix my fridge.

My AC was not properly working. I had it serviced for its annual service and the techs put whatever stuff in it and fixed it. A couple days later, it stopped pushing cold air out and it got really hot in the house. So, I called back to have a new service done. The techs came out and changed out a converter. Then they said to give it a couple of days and it should fix itself. So I gave it a couple of days but it still wasn't pushing out any cold air. We came to find out that something had burst, so the techs came out and serviced it again. But the pipes were frozen and they said we had to wait until it unfreezes, then they'd be out the next day. The AC unit itself is fine. The techs went upstairs to check the other components, said a part of the fan was broken, and replaced it. And now it's working perfectly fine.
The techs were very professional, super polite, and knowledgeable. They helped out with every question that I had and gave really good recommendations. But they gave very extensive time for the scheduling. They were four to five-hour time slots and when I had an emergency the first day that they scheduled an appointment, they said they'd have to reschedule the whole thing again and we ended up getting rescheduled two days out. Other than that, it's very convenient that everything is covered under the warranty. It's clear what is being covered, which I like. Also, the price range is within the means of our finances.

The AC was squeaking horribly. It sounded like a T-Rex is in our backyard trying to get in. I did an online claim to American Home Shield. I love their website. I used to try calling in to submit claims, and I was put on hold for hours. I finally tried the online method, and I have never gone back because it's so awesome. Waiting in line is a horrible nightmare. I feel like you don't have very many employees working that I can speak to.
The techs who came for the AC put a new compressor in our air conditioning unit. They were very professional, very thorough, and very knowledgeable. They let us know that our filter was dirty. I'm short, so they took it out for us. I went and got a new one later that day. I handled that part myself but they were able to reach where I couldn’t. They put the new compressor in, and there was an area in the attic that needed some closure. They fixed that up.
The warranty has been a lifesaver. They saved me so much money. The ice maker in my refrigerator went out a couple of years ago and the guys were like, “Man, you really lucked out. For 75 bucks, you got like $500 worth of this." For some reason, that machine was very expensive. The service plus the part would have been like $600. I was like, “No way. We only paid 75. This is amazing.” So, I've been extremely happy with it. I'm a real estate agent and I refer them to my clients all the time.

American Home Shield is 50% okay. They're not true to their contract. What the contract said was up to a certain amount to get work done. Also, when I signed up with them, I asked them if I could use whatever repair person I can, but I've got to get permission to do that (as if I was going to get somebody that wasn't going to do the job right). It seemed so controlling. Then, what they came and said they needed to do didn't amount to what they offered as a total amount to get the job done.
It said up to $1,500 on the roof repair but the person they sent out said to repair it would be $400 worth of work. In the process of him coming out, I had someone else come out and look at it because I didn't think he was concerned about doing what he was gonna do. The company said it was more damage up there than I would and I wasn't going to put a band-aid on something that needed to be covered. I had the whole roof done to make sure that that doesn't happen again on a little patch-up. American Home Shield could have at least offered me $1,500 to go towards my whole $21,000 roof repair for what I had done to the roof.
It took about six calls to get a process of the claim. It seemed every time we talked to somebody that said they were going to do something, they didn't do it. I talked to one person and they were supposed to hook me up to a supervisor but they just left me on hold. I talked to someone else and got a chance to talk to a supervisor who said they were going to do something but it never got done. Two more calls and, finally, the last person got the claim processed. It's a hassle to pay for something and it's not like I call a lot.
This is the second time I've been with American Home Shield. I left them the first time because something like that happened. One of the reasons was that the people they were sending out to get the job done didn't do it and they wouldn't allow me to find somebody at that time. They sent a company out that didn't follow up. It took almost three months and it didn't even get done. I came back after I wanted to have a certain coverage. For American Home Shield to go up on the price this year was disappointing.

I submitted a claim online, and I'm not great about the site. There are things that can be explained better. When the user picks a problem, the different issues should be listed. Also, the repair people are very good, but some of them are not very knowledgeable. I had an incident wherein somebody came for the plumbing for my toilet, and it was not very good. He came for the third time and still didn't figure out what was going on because it was still leaking.
The toilet was running constantly. I had to call American Home Shield back again and ask that they assign somebody else. They immediately did, but unfortunately, they charged me more, which I'm not happy about. It was not my issue. American Home Shield is contracted with somebody and the people they send should be able to fix it. If not, then there should not be a charge. They should be sending another plumber, but only one charge should have been there. They double charged me for that.

Green’s Appliance fixed my refrigerator. It wasn’t making ice and it had some kind of water leaking. They had to replace the mainframe and something inside that control the refrigerator. They did an excellent job. But I had to call American Home Shield again about two weeks later because it did the same thing. Green’s Appliance immediately came back out here, ordered the part, and soon as the part came in, the owner came out here and worked with the tech. It was a great experience.

Our smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms were going off even though we changed all the batteries. I called American Home Shield and they called Hanneman out. When the tech came out, he said that they were old or expiring and that was why they were going off. He told me to go ahead and buy all the smoke alarms because American Home Shield was only going to replace one and we had to replace the remainder. I bought nine and I never got any compensation from American Home Shield for the one of them, which I should have.
Hanneman was very good. They changed all of the smoke alarms, tested them, and it was done. Every time they come, they’re very professional, get things done, and gave us explanations. The scheduling was no problem and they let us know when they were on their way. But when I have to deal with American Home Shield for any claim, it’s like pulling teeth. They are the worst. I just keep them because I have no choice. Any time you have to file a claim, it’s A, B, C, and D until you get to the point where you just say, “It’s not worth the headache.” I call them for one thing then call back for another. Each time I do that, that’s $75 instead of American Home Shield having them all fixed at one time. That’s a racket. If it’s the same problem, it should have been, “We’ll replace all of them.” It was cheaper for me to get them all instead of making a claim for each of the smoke detectors. That didn’t make sense to me.

My air condition was not getting cool. I called American Home Shield and they sent Airmax out. The person who came out said something about previously existing conditions but that was not the case at all with the entire furnace, coil, and unit. They said the capacitor was leaking and the unit was old. The furnace was old but it was functioning well. The man named Jonah recommended a complete unit. I was surprised that American Home Shield was reluctant to deal with it as I thought they should. They did not offer to pay for the new furnace unit and I have some serious questions about how American Home Shield advertises that they will do all of this regardless of previously existing conditions.

I haven't had any problems with American Home Shield, but one thing I don't like is they have been raising my premium every year since I've been there. One year, it jumped $20. It was crazy. Other than that, I would recommend them. They come out and either fix or replace the item. The repair people have done their job too. The only time I had a problem, it took me a while to get a part, but that was a few years ago. It also wasn't so much the contractor. It was just parts availability.
Just recently, a young lady at the laundromat was saying her washer was down, and I referred her to American Home Shield. However, she found another company whose monthly rate was cheaper, and they offered more. It was Choice Home Warranty, and I started to change but I didn't do any research to check to see the reputation of the company.

The garage door would get wobbly when we close it and it was not even where they were folding. The contractor was very polite and professional. When he opened and closed the door, it was still functioning. It just was not closing and opening correctly. It was eventually not going to work and he knew what to do right away. I was impressed with that. He knew exactly what was wrong and he said that he just needed to replace it.

I got American Home Shield for the peace of mind, knowing that I could call somebody. And I got one particular payment that I have to pay as opposed to calling all these different people out to my home, and they make up whatever they want to charge me. I know what I have to pay. I know things can be replaced if they can't be fixed. I love that I just pay $100, no more, no less. I have my aunt's house under the coverage as well. It's just a peace of mind for me, knowing that if we called the AC guy out there, he wouldn't tell me $1,500 while it’s a $100 problem. Because you never know if you’re getting charged properly.
I started getting some expensive water bills. And that was the toilet that I don't typically use, which was running and running. And I would get some weird smells occasionally out of there as well. So, I took the top off and tried to screw little replacement things. But that didn't work. I called AHS. One of the guys came by and did three or four things, put some new things on the toilet, and it still was running. And he said that we would have to replace this toilet. So, another guy came the following day to replace the entire toilet in the master bedroom. I enjoyed the interaction. I enjoyed the service. They were both timely, very business-like. They came in and took care of their business. So, I was pleased with the service. Everything is functioning properly now.

There was an issue with the washing machine. It would fill up with water but it wouldn't do the agitation of the washing of the clothes. The water stayed in there.

When I have an issue with either the rental house or our house, American Home Shield sends people out right away and it's not too long of a wait. With other home warranty programs, it's a long wait and that's frustrating. There was one time when we had a toilet fixed in the past. The people that we had fixed what the problem was but they said that they wouldn't come back until we had it scoped with a camera. They didn't offer to do that.
When we had our microwave fixed, we called back because it got fixed but it was still doing the same problem. American Home Shield didn't charge me the service fee because it had only been maybe two or three weeks and the problem happened again. The techs came back out, looked at it again, and fixed it. That was nice. I like that when something's not quite right, I know they're not going to nickel and dime me to death.

Every time I called them to come out and service it, the person who came out would say they don't service that. So I would call Home Shield back and Home Shield would send the same people out again that didn’t service it. I paid Home Shield the $100 fee three times but they never resolved the issue. Every time they came out, we told them that they never resolved the issue. So it would go past that 30 days. Then by the time somebody else came back out, I would have to pay the fee again because it was past 30 days.

My toilets had backed up and I called the plumber. They said they couldn't get to it till the following week. I said, “Well, don't you have an emergency service?” They said, “Well, no.

And someone has to call in somebody else to get a bigger snake or something.” Whenever I tried to call the plumbers from Express Plumbing and Heating, I could never get an answer. It was always an answering machine. I never heard back from them, so I called up a couple of other plumbers. They advertised it was $80 to clean the drain and when they got here, they wanted $400 and $500, so I didn't do that either. Finally, I went to our park down here and asked if they recommend plumbing cleaners and they gave me one that I called. They came out the next day and cleaned it out. Everything is working great now.
Recently, my garbage disposal was bad and the guy American Home Shield sent for that was really great. The garbage disposal wasn't working so he installed a new one and then there was no problem. When I had the refrigerator worked on because it was building up some ice where the icemaker was, the contractor came out and cleaned it. But I called American Home Shield back and told them that it was doing the same thing. They said, “Well, it'd be another $75. And we'll send a technician out to take care of it.” I said, “I don't wanna pay another $75.” I always had to argue with them. It seemed like they just wanna get the $75 before they really do anything.
When I call American Home Shield, I'm put on hold a lot of times, where I have to wait and then they make a time. Then the plumber is supposed to contact me right away and give a time when they will come out. I've been with American Home Shield for nine years, and I wasn't getting any kind of service out of them. I'm very dissatisfied. I had the same problem with my heater a while back. The contractor came out and said it was fixed and it was working. But when they leave, it would start doing the same thing and then they said, “We got to send out the master tech.” So it was always a hassle.

Throughout the claim, as we were waiting for the water heater to be ordered and received at Lowe's, I was in contact with the Wabash Valley Plumbing often just to get status reports.

If American Home Shield sent a regular card, it was okay, but with an e-card, every time, I had to open my phone and they couldn't get the number right. I had to go through a lot of things until I got what I wanted. Also, I had some money left and I wanted to buy something else from Lowe's.

I also have the Sub-Zero freezer and next to it, built in, is a refrigerator. I told them that I do not think the ice maker is working correctly. It's not covered. They won't look at my icemaker because it's part of a freezer. So, I'm fairly disappointed in that. Other than that, they fixed the problem and they have also been out twice to fix a leaky faucet in the laundry room. Right now, I'm not very happy because I have a home without an icemaker that’s functioning. I was thrilled before until the communication stopped when I did ask.

I called and spoke with a representative regarding a leak from a bowl. It was leaking from the top of a pipe. Customer service was very good at getting that done. I tried the online option but it didn’t work well for me. A tech came and he was very professional. I was very pleased and it's been pretty good. I have two homes and I use American Home Shield on both of them. I’m a Realtor and whenever I buy my clients a warranty, I buy American Home Shield. I used to do 2-10 but my clients complained horribly about them. I used American Home Shield in 2000 and I tried it first on my home. That went well. From that point on, I started using them with all my closings.

I've had a problem with my air conditioner over the summer. The first time, it wasn't American Home Shield's fault. They just couldn't get anybody out for almost a week. But it was in Arizona in summertime, and every air conditioning company was backed up. And my second problem, they had someone out within the next day or two. Fast enough. Both times, it was the same company, and they were great. The only issue that I'm going to have probably with them is we keep fixing the air conditioner rather than replacing it, and it's old. When that happens, I have to take a day off work so I'm not thrilled about that. Other than that, I would recommend American Home Shield.

No one told us that we could have had the option of getting a card, a visa, to go pick the dryer out ourselves or if we wanted to do it online. They just said, "You can go to the website and order what you want." So we went online and ordered what we wanted. They brought the dryer, and then the guy said, "Someone will call you tomorrow and hook it up." I said, "It's not getting hooked up today?" He said, "No, because we don't do gas."
American Home Shield gave me a number to one of the plumbers. The guy said he couldn't do it because he was too booked. They sent me another guy's number, and I called. They couldn't send me anybody else until after the 48 hours were up. The guy never called me back, he didn't answer their emails and didn't answer their calls. Then AHS sent me the number to the first plumber. The first plumber said, "I told them, I didn't have time to do it." So then, they sent me Murray's and Murray's said, "What's the problem?" Told them the problem, they sent somebody the next day and it was done.
Plus, in the beginning, after the first two guys didn't work out, they said, "If you find your own, then you could let them do it and we'll reimburse you." I said, "Okay." We found somebody to do it, and then they came and did it. But they messed it up, too. Because we told them it was a leak. They said, "We can't do anything about it." So we had been without a dryer for a whole month. That was the worst experience we had with American Home Shield. Other than that, American Home Shield has been great.

Service has been good. But I've had a little difficulty with a few of the people they have assigned. Recently, we had a dishwasher and a dryer that messed up. The techs fixed the dryer but our dishwasher is still leaking. The person who was supposed to fix it said he fixed it when he didn't. AHS can do better staying on top of their referrals and making sure that they are farming out their business to the contractors who are getting better reviews. This year, we had to order a compressor for our air and it took three weeks for it to come in even though in town, they had a compressor. But AHS wouldn't use that vendor. That was tough.

The only issue that I have is that sometimes it's hard to get through American Home Shield's 800 number. It's not readily available online and getting through the automated service can be difficult.

I had claims with AHS for my fridge, my dryer, and my washer. The tech they sent out to work on those was on time and perfect. But I'm still fighting with American Home Shield about my AC. It's got a bad condensing coil and the unit’s 20-something years old. It'll go on, then it just shuts off because it's pulling too much amperage since the condensing unit’s damaged. And my electric bill’s been over $800 the past four or five months.
I called AHS in August and they sent a company out here that said the problem was due to rodents. But I don't have rodents and there was no evidence of rodents. The techs were not even from here and I had no idea why they would say that. AHS then sent a second opinion and the technician told me that it was due to normal wear and tear and the unit needs to be replaced. He told American Home Shield that as well but American Home Shield told the office manager lady that they saw on their record that there was a storm two years ago. So, if the problem was caused by a storm, they were not going to cover it.
I tried to talk to the escalation department and their rep said that he was going to email that technician and have them get back to us. Then I called again and talked to a lady. She called the technician's office manager, and the office manager told her on the phone that is recorded, that it is normal wear and tear, they've been nursing the unit for four years, and it needs to be replaced. But the lady said that the office manager was telling the wrong department and that she needed to call back this number and tell them. But that was just American Home Shield shopping for a reason not to replace my unit.
Now, the office manager had a family emergency and she's not in the office. I told the rep from AHS about it and asked him what should I do. He just told me to sit down and wait until she gets back. Their process is so messed up. Hypothetically, if AHS doesn't cover anything because of a storm which happened two years ago, why have they been working on my unit every year since then? It's also very hard to understand them when I talk to them and you can never get the same person. If they don't put the notes in there, then the person has no idea what you're talking about.

When I called in for service, the electrical part of the garage door opener wouldn't open or shut. I had to do the manual thing with the release so I can open and shut it manually until I could get it repaired. The tech was great. He arrived early in the window, which is always appreciated. He called me when he was on the way. He looked at the garage and I told him what was going on. I went back inside and then he called me about 20 minutes later. I came back outside and he told me that there was loose wiring. He fixed the wires up. He cleaned it up, and he stapled some of them to the wall because whoever installed it, installed all the wires loose and have used the wrong cap. So he cleaned everything up and tried to make it so that the wires weren't loose and hanging so that the normal movement of wind wouldn't knock them off.

American Home Shield's website is pretty simple. I send in a claim and then their person is scheduled and then they'll be contacting me, which comes through a text or an email. When we had the tune-up, I let the tech do the work and I waited for him. But he did it without the filter. I thought that was something that he was supposed to do, but he told me to switch it out when I get a chance. But the paperwork that I had received in an email said they would have done the filter but it didn't happen that way.

The toilet was doing this phantom flushing stuff. A plumber came out and he said it was fixed. He was here five minutes, and he was not really good. He was quite irritated that he was here. I called American Home Shield back and they said that I have to call the plumber back. So I called the plumber back, and the plumber said, “No, you don’t call us back, you call American Home Shield back.” So I called American Home Shield back. American Home Shield said, “Okay. Let me reopen it.”
I got another plumber. He’s been out here before and he’s really, really good. He said, “This is what I think what’s wrong. I got it fixed.” He left but it didn’t fix it. So I called back and then he came back again, and he said, “I’m just gonna replace the whole inside.” So he really did a very good job. But it should have taken a very short amount of time. It took two months to get resolved and in the meantime, my water bill was $100. My water bill is usually $30 or $40. But the service in the end was good. I had another claim on my refrigerator and the guy walked up and said, “I know exactly the problem with it.” He ordered the parts and he came back a couple of weeks later. There definitely seems to be a delay on parts. But that’s all over right now, so I get that.

We were turning our heater on for the first time of the year. When the thermostat kicked on and the heater came on, it was making a loud electric buzzing noise and there was some sparking. My wife called in a claim to American Home Shield and said it's with the HVAC heating and air conditioning unit. It got opened up as an air conditioning claim. A technician came and when I described the issue to the technician, he said I needed to call back and make it a heating claim as American Home Shield would need to differentiate. The technician wanted to make sure his paperwork was right. It was just an extra step to go through. If we had called in and said it was a drip from the sink but then he came and said it was an electrical issue, then I get that. But it's HVAC. The central heating and AC is the unit. It's the same thing. You open up the same door to access the same unit.
It shouldn't be on us to go in and correct that. We're the insured and we pay the policy. It's our responsibility to file the claim and report what's going on. My wife and I aren't technicians. Between American Home Shield that is the administrator of the policy and the technician that is the person servicing the policy, they should be able to sort that out. This was one minor annoyance that shouldn't have been there. But that was quickly resolved and got done. Other than that, everything else was fine. The service was excellent and the technician was very competent and professional.

I called and left a message but I haven't heard back from the tech in about a week. I like that with AHS, I pay $100 and the rest of the bill's taken care of. But when our hot water heater blew up, AHS just paid me a lump sum amount, which didn't take care of the whole thing. It was probably about two-thirds of it but it was my fault because we needed to get the hot water heater fixed right away. They sent me to someone in Sumpter but they said they were swamped so I told AHS that I've got a plumber and asked them if we could we settle it without going to their people.

American Home Shield is not what it claims to be. It's a rip-off.

My hot water heater wasn't holding temperature. I investigated, tried to look at what the cost of me doing it versus hiring AHS because of the deductible, and I decided that it would be cheaper for me just to have them come out. So, I went online and put in my schedule. Most of the time, it takes a few days before the contracting company gets back to me, but in this particular instance, this contractor got back to me the next morning. So, it was great.
I was also very excited because I live out in a little town in Tennessee, and it's always hard to find a reliable service company. But the tech who came out was very friendly and professional. He tested out both the elements and didn’t try to upsell me anything. He told me that my top element was testing 12 volts, but my bottom was only testing at 9, which meant it was not holding the heat. He said he'd see if he had one in the truck and if he didn't, he was going to get one. He had one in the truck, so he installed it and the whole thing took about an hour.

Anytime you turn the garbage disposal on, it would shake back and forth so aggressively. You could see that it would start separating itself from the plumber’s putty. So that was when I started doing some research and found out that the home warranty actually does help cover maintenance of the garbage disposal. So I called American Home Shield and made the claim. National Plumbing came out and started looking at it. The garbage disposal was shaking back and forth so much and it was breaking the bearings and causing it to come loose. So it kept separating itself from the sink. The tech ended up replacing the garbage disposal and redoing the bearings.
National Plumbing was great. I was really impressed. They came out the day after I made the claim. So it was really, really fast. They showed up on time. The tech explained everything to me really well before he did anything. He fixed it very quickly. Even though he had to go buy the parts at the store, he was still there and straight back, and had everything completely done and fixed in less than an hour. So that was really helpful. This was the second claim I've had to make with American Home Shield and it’s been the easiest thing. All the contractors that they've sent out have been wonderful.

I have several companies through American Home Shield that I really liked doing business with. I've found them to be very good and honest. In fact, for my HVAC at my house, I took out an annual maintenance contract with the company that I found through the home warranty company many years ago. So, if I have any type of issue with my HVAC system, I usually call them directly and tell them that I want the company assigned.
If American Home Shield tells me that it's on hold and the company's not taking any more calls, because they're just too busy, I tell them, "Yeah, they will for me." I call the company and have the company call them. There was also a plumbing company that I found that does exceptional business, and I've done business with them outside of the home warranty company, so I will go through the trouble. Recently, the appliance company that AHS sent out, I'll do the same for them and have recommended it to other people as well.
American Home Shield has been very good. It's sometimes a little long getting there though. With our dishwasher that was very old, the company recommended that it be replaced because there were no parts available. AHS found a part, which was probably refurbished. The first time our dishwasher was run, it ran all day long. They then replaced it, and I'm getting it this week. I've also had my daughter's washing machine replaced by them. It was a company recommendation again, and they took care of that, as well as my microwave. The first time, they sent GE out to repair my microwave and it did the same malfunction. When the technician had to come back out again, they replaced it.
Another thing is AHS only warranties their work for 30 days. For example, I had a problem with my garage door opener. They sent a company out, and the company said to me, "You really should replace this." I said, "How much are we talking?" The guy said, "600 and some dollars." I said, "No, let's just go ahead and replace these parts. We'll kick that can down the road a little bit." The same problem happened two months later, so I called the home warranty company and they said, "Nope, sorry, only good for 30 days." I said, "Well, I'll be darned if I'm paying another $125 to have somebody come out and fix the same problem that was repaired two months ago."
I called the company and said, "Excuse me, but do you stand behind your work?" They said, "30 days." I said, "Thank you," then they said, "Well, do you need help?" I said, "Not from you, because you already answered my question. If you only warranty your work for 30 days, then I'm not doing business with you." I called the company that I've done some work for doors and said, "Hey, need a new garage door." I've learned the lady has American Home Shield, and she said, "Sandy, don't buy this from us. Go through American Home Shield." I told her what happened, and she told me that the part that they replaced absolutely should not have gone bad unless they put a malfunctioning part in there. It was the same thing with the dishwasher and the microwave.
I may pay on this home warranty year after year, which I normally do without anything being replaced. I'm being honest with AHS by paying my money every month. They should be honest with me, too. They shouldn't put a refurbished part in my stuff, just do what they're supposed to do and fix it right with either a brand-new part, something that's reputable, or replace the appliance.
I'm cool if they wanna try to fix something, but in just over 30 days, they shouldn't make me pay another $125 service fee for something that was inadequately fixed to begin with. If it was a different problem that presented itself, I get it. That happens. However, the exact same problems presented themselves on two different things. One was the garage door opener, which I ended up biting the bullet, and I went with a company that I trust and paid $700 for a new garage door opener after paying American Home Shield $125 to not fix the problem. That's the only reason I'm giving a 4. Otherwise, I've been with AHS since 2002, and it's not just one property. I usually have multiple, because I have done it for my daughter's as well.
I started with American Home Shield when I started with Legum's, which was the first HVAC company that I had come out after I bought a home. I had a $75 service fee, but because it was so infrequent, I thought, "Okay. It's probably better to pay a little less a month, consecutively for months, and just go ahead and suck it up." Once I did that though, I started having more calls for service, but that's just the way it is. Overall, I recommend this home warranty to everyone, and I tell people they have to learn to work it. They can't just go online and submit a request and expect to get the person they want. They've got to go through the pain of calling. Although, as of late when I've had to call them, it's not that long of a wait.
The only other thing that I might add is a lot of the customer service reps that answer the phones have a script. They have a manual that they go by, so if I had to escalate a problem, it's near impossible to do. It used to be that I had a phone number for the supervisory group. If I had a problem, which I wouldn't do that just ordinarily, I had a recourse. However, that's no longer available. Also, if I ask to talk to a supervisor, there's never one available, and they'll say, "Somebody will call you back." That doesn't really happen.

They said a contractor would come out to see. The contractor called me and came out just to confirm the details. He said it was supposed to be a replacement. Mine was an old microwave, so he wasn't sure they would have the part. But he will put in the order anyway.

AHS initially sent Action Plumbing out here and he was rude. He asked why was our water turned off and left without doing anything. When we contacted the other company, Short's Plumbing and Drain Cleaning, their tech immediately knew who we were talking about, so evidently, it's something that he is known for doing. The tech from Short's Plumbing and Drain Cleaning was very professional and I told him that he is the person that I would have wanted to come for all the service calls that I've had since I've been dealing with American Home Shield, from the incident with the air conditioning on down. If every company had the customer service skills that he had, everything would be superb. He told me what the problem was and said that he would submit the report to American Home Shield. And even after submitting the report, he gave me a call back to follow up. Normally, I just get something from AHS but he did that himself.
He was unable to get the parts though, so he instructed me as to how to get the part without cost by calling the manufacturer. And the part is on its way. All in all, having AHS prevents the overhead cost but I didn't like the incident with the Action Plumbing. When I called to report his behavior, the person that I spoke to on the phone was telling me about how I was going to have to wait until he filed the report. Why do I need to wait for the tech to file a report when they already have my money? Every time you express your displeasure with something at American Home Shield, they want to hear from the company first. Things would be easier if their customer service could be much better.
