    Our appliances and things in the house are getting to that point where they're starting to go due to age. Hopefully, American Home Shield is saving us a bit of money. Also, their coverage seems to be comprehensive compared to other home warranty companies we've used. So, we're very happy with it. But I was not happy with one of the contractors used. The contractor didn't show up for a couple of different appointments and pushed back appointments by a week. And when I got upset with them over the phone, they were rude to me and decided to not come out at all for the service we had scheduled. They don't know how to handle customers well, especially customers who are upset that their appointment was set back a whole week, when they have been already pushed back on other appointments. They're very unprofessional and not satisfactory. All the other ones that we've dealt with through AHS have been fine.

    AHS has a service where they would clean and update your system every spring for a fee and we did that. A contractor came out and said nothing was wrong with the system. But a couple of months later, we had to have it serviced because the coolant was low. I wondered why they didn't know when they did the service on it in the spring and they couldn't answer that. There's a charge every time you do a service so we had to pay for that. The tech said he filled it up with Freon.

    Two months later, we started having problems again. I called in and AHS said that even though it was the same problem, we'd have to pay for another service thing because it had been more than 30 days. I said I don't want the same guy to come out because he's just gonna put more coolant in it and there's gotta be something wrong. Flowertown Heating came out the second time and we had to pay the fee again. They found that there was something wrong with the evaporative cooler and they had to order the part. It took a little while to do that but once they installed the part, we haven't had any more problems. We've made a few warranty claims and AHS has always been good about it.

    The main water line that goes into the septic was cracked along the top. The tech from Diamondback Rooter cut out the bad pipe and replaced it. It's been working fine since but I have a question about the tape. There's a piece of tape just before the no-hub connector and I wanna know if there's a nick or something underneath.

    Also, I had a claim for the faucet in the house and the contractor said they have to cut the drywall but it wasn't covered. It was gonna cost me $500. I'm sure somewhere deep in the paperwork, it talks about that. But I bought this through my Realtor and it shows all these items but I didn't see when I purchased it that if they have to cut into a wall to replace a pipe, it's not covered. I would have been glad to get an upgrade to be protected against that. I was very unhappy with that part of the Home Shield deal. I went and fixed the faucets for $13 but I didn't get my $85 back even though I didn't use the service because the tech came out. I wouldn't recommend them because of that experience.

    The garbage disposal wouldn't work. The gentleman came over and in a portion of garbage disposal at the bottom, he used an Allen wrench and loosened it up. And that garbage disposal worked fine. So it was a quick fix. But he told us what the problem was and why it happened. He even left the instrument for us to use if it happened again. The gentleman was great.

    American Home Shield has been under fire lately for some of their business practices. but I haven't had to call them a lot and when I have, I usually get the issue resolved and I haven't had any major problems with them. The things that needed to be replaced were replaced promptly, when they got the parts for it, and even though there was a part issue with the air conditioner I had recently, it wasn't their fault. It was a problem in trying to secure the part and once they secured it, they called us and brought it out. So we haven't had to wait months. There wasn't any bait and switch either. Even my mother and our daughter and son-in-law’s homes are covered by American Home Shield and they've had great results with them, too.

    I looked at different things on the internet and liked what American Home Shield offered. I called them and picked the best service plan that would be best for me with all the appliances and different things in the house. I went ahead and ordered that warranty through them. I call them when there's an and the issue gets resolved. A year ago, I had a problem with the washer as it was leaking. A guy was sent out and he ended up replacing the washer right there. Every time, something's been fixed or replaced.

    I just had a claim for my dishwasher and my garbage disposal. My garbage disposal wasn't working and my dishwasher wasn't drying the dishes. American Home Shield sent a plumber out for the garbage disposal and he ended up replacing it and putting a brand-new one in. For the other issue, the technician said that my control board and motor were going up in the dishwasher. American Home Shield gave me a prorate of what my dishwasher was and it was $600. I was able to order another one and a person was then sent out to install it.

    I would recommend American Home Shield. We've used them a couple of times. The main problem I've had is that some of the vendors charge more than the Home Shield allows, so then I have to pay the amount over and above. There's one plumber that I've asked not to come back because he always wants to charge more than the allowable price. Home Shield has been good and they allow me to tell them to exclude certain vendors. But Stelter's HVAC Service for my most recent claim was very good. There was a couple of days delay getting them here because they had prior bookings on their schedule but the tech showed up on time and he did a great job. He was very thorough in fixing the AC. He replaced parts, including the thermostat, and then made sure that the system was operating correctly before he left.

    A contractor came out for the AC unit and did what they called a band-aid fix on it because they said that they couldn't do a true fix. Apparently, they don't make this model anymore or they did something about the freon being different. For the amount of money I paid American Home Shield, the band-aid is not good enough for me. It lasted two weeks. My unit needs to be fixed. I would not recommend the contractor that came out. They weren't good about getting back to us. They would say, "I'll call you back tomorrow." Three days would go by but still didn't receive a phone call. I had to constantly call them. Once they finally fixed the outside unit, the thermostat went out. I had to call them back out and replace the thermostat. That took almost a month.

    I'm going to be dropping American Home Shield. It's good when something breaks and you're not having to wait a month or two. But when something's broken, they don't want to repair it because of normal wear and tear. I'm not okay with that either. You're gonna have normal wear and tear on everything, so why are you gonna tell me you're gonna warranty it but you don't warranty it for wear and tear? I can't control that.

    I have three separate sinks and two bathrooms, and they had leaks where they wouldn't shut off. So the contractor had to order some new cartridges to replace them. They were having problems getting the replacement cartridges. It took a month, which was a little inconvenient. But I was able to work around it. I have had other issues before with American Home Shield where the biggest problem I have is that when you have something of a higher quality that goes bad, they don’t replace it with the same level of quality. But generally, they continue to take care of the problem till it’s resolved.

    I had a service call for a plumber because the dishwasher wasn't working. But they couldn't install it because the line was corroded. The plumber didn't fix that. So I have to hire someone on my own and pay that out of my pocket because American Home Shield cannot reimburse something. American Home Shield offered me 120 to get someone and install the dishwasher. But I have not found anybody who can install a dishwasher for that price. I called American Home Shield this morning and asked, "Can you take the check back that you guys sent and send me someone back?" They said, "You have to call some other number." When the plumber was here, American Home Shield should have given me the options. But they told me to figure it out on my own. I have the service with them because I don't want to figure it out on my own.

    When I had a claim for the range hood, I had to call them again and I figured out someone who could install it. It was a lot. I didn't have a good time. Now, I gotta find who can install it over the weekend. American Home Shield should give me the option to choose my service providers and also me choosing locally, and then getting reimbursed.

    Our most recent claim with AHS was with a plumber. He rooted or cleaned out our pipes and that was fairly positive. There's more work to be done. But it's not American Home Shield's job to do that. The other claim was, I had a replacement for a cooktop and that was a very good experience. The main problem we have with AHS is when we have to contact them by phone. It's a little bit hard to get them. Sometimes it's hard to understand some of the people. One time they had a chat and I talked to them by chat. That was very helpful. But it was not available the last time I used AHS.

    The current service I had has been pretty good. I was thinking of switching to another company until I found out that something on my current contract they didn't have covered under the new company. It's one that could save me a lot of money by having it with American Home Shield. In the past, I was not happy with their service. I had the door to a handle on the microwave come off and the technician they sent said we pulled too hard on that handle on the microwave. Since it was our fault the handle came off, it was not covered.

    I had one other thing. I had a stackable washer dryer and the washer was broken. I'm over 50 and my mom was living there and she was over 70. They said we had to get the dryer off of the washer so they could repair the washer. Neither one of us could lift a full size dryer off of a washer. My mom found a company and was able to finagle and move the two together so the tech could access the back and was able to fix the washer. We had to pay for that ourselves.

    Right now, I'm in a manufactured home that was built in 1976. Some of the appliances are the original appliances. When the appliances break down, I have someone come out for just my deductible of $100 and they fix them or exchange them. That is definitely worth the cost of having a home warranty. There was a circuit breaker in my bedroom area that kept tripping and the power kept going off. A tech replaced the circuit breaker and that seemed to have solved the problem. Sometimes with home warranty companies, the service companies are not the best companies out there. Sometimes if you don't like the company or you see bad reviews, you can push to have another company or they'll pay you what it would cost them and you just get it done by another company.

    We’ve had so many problems with that AC thanks to American Home Shield. We're not real pleased with them but we're very pleased with Ohana, the contractor. They've come out here before because we requested them. Also, calling them on the phone used to be a nightmare. Every time I called them, I end up with people in Taiwan, the Philippines, or Indonesia who can't do anything for me. But it has gotten better. The last couple of times I called, I got an American rep.

    AHS has done a good job for us, but their communication and follow-up suck and they make you use people that are not qualified. Our air conditioner broke down three years ago and they sent this company who said that the compressor was gone. They ordered the compressor but the compressor was too small. They put it in and they made us pay $600 for the Freon to go in it. It didn't work for three weeks and it blew out all the Freon again. We couldn't get in touch with the contractor and they wouldn't get their bosses to call us and wouldn't return our calls. They were horrible. Yet, AHS made us use those same people who are incompetent. They replaced the air compressor again but it took months. This was during the summer. It went over a period of almost eight months before we got our air conditioner fixed.

    We had a similar situation with a plumber that they sent and the guy wouldn't even come until after eight o'clock at night. One night, he stayed here until two o'clock in the morning. He kept running out to his car and then coming back. AHS has done some good things but when we think back on it, we have a lot of really bad experiences with them.

American Home Shield is dealing with good contractors. When I first purchased the home warranty, I got that free lock and key thing. The AC thing was the first claim I made and that is now working beautifully. There was also a time they sent someone out for plumbing and that went fine. A part of the showerhead had to be changed.

    There was a time my garage broke as I was leaving to go to the airport. I had to get it fixed right away. I called a local garage door repair company right down the street and they came and fixed the garage. I was able to make my flight. I wanted to turn in a claim afterwards with American Home Shield and because I didn't call them to come, they won't honor the charges that I had to spend to fix my garage door. Most times their contractors do come but they don't come on the same day. The thing is this claim was something that would have been covered.

    It's not working out too well with American Home Shield. About a month ago, I put in a ticket to have our dishwasher fixed. They sent out a guy from Premier Home Appliances and he looked at the dishwasher. He made a diagnosis that the seal around the motorhead was broken or damaged or worn out. He told me he would get a part in about 7 to 10 business days so I waited a couple of days. Then, I called AHS and they told me that the guy said that the dishwasher needs additional repairs - a seal around the door, which will cost me $450. But he told me that we didn't need that. He said the only thing that's damaged is the seal around the motor.

    I called back AHS to get a second opinion because this guy was trying to pull out $450 for a door seal that's not broken. They sent another contractor out, Chesapeake Appliances. Their guy came out and said there was nothing wrong with the door seal, contradicting the first guy that came out, but he said the motor seal is broken because it was leaking. I said okay and it was the same process of 7 to 10 business days. I called him 15 times throughout the day and I didn't get an answer. I left voicemails and everything but there was no response. Finally, I called back AHS and their rep said the guy said that I put trash in the motor to cause it to burn out so I can get it replaced. I told her he didn't even look inside the dishwasher except to get the serial number.

    I did a pull up on this last guy that came out and his rating is 1. I have read 67 complaints about this guy not returning calls, stating the stuff was broken and then disappearing, never returning calls or follow-up with the customer. If AHS knows this guy or they read his ratings or check his background, why are they sending him out to people's homes to do the same incompetent job? He gets the 100 bucks and goes to the next job. And AHS gets $50 every month. I didn't pay them for that.

    Appliances break and for him to say I sabotaged my dishwasher to get a new one is stupid. I'm disappointed with AHS. We pay them every month and they just blatantly believe what someone says. It's been a month since we're without a dishwasher. We're in the process of looking for another policy on a different carrier because AHS deals with contractors like that. They either try to get money or provide a false report. Also, AHS doesn't do their job. A customer has to call in to get the results from a contractor that comes out to do work. They don't follow up and they don't call us to let us know. We have to do all the leg work while they're getting paid.

It’s about to go bust and I’ve used American Home Shield about eight times to fix the upstairs unit, but they won't render it dead. The mechanics just keep putting duct tape on it. They keep it running every couple of months, so they have to keep coming out. There’ll be a benefit to having a home warranty if AHS replaces the AC at some point. There's also an open ticket I have since February that can't get completed, which is annoying. AHS’ rate keeps going up, which is a little bit of bait-and-switch from the first year.

    The contractor did a fine job. I'm just not happy with American Home Shield. The first company said that the stove was damaged by cleaning products. But Chesapeake came out and something needed to be taped. It wasn't in place. So, Chesapeake fixed the stove. Both of the contractors said it was a shortage in the dishwasher. But American Home Shield wouldn't fix it. They are not covering it. So, I’m paying $100 and I have a warranty.

    I've been very happy with AHS for the most part, but there's been some frustration. They usually send professional people. But now, a lot of times, the people that they send out are also trying to sell you something. For the most part, the people come out fairly quickly. Sometimes, though, with the AC unit, it could be a couple of days. I had gotten frustrated, because both my son and I have heart disease, and we can't live in a hot house. So, we ended up having to move and sleep on the first floor until they get the problem fixed.

    The last time I had a problem, it also took a bit to get to a live person. I had to go through a lot of machine things saying why I needed to talk to a service rep, and each one would say, "We can't do something about it." I finally was able to get through to a manager. Our recent claim with AHS went really well. The guy was really nice and talked me into doing the service contract for both the heater and the AC unit. He made it so that some other work that he had done was incorporated into that. He was very nice and professional in what he did.

    I love American Home Shield’s response. They get things solved in a hurry. We recently moved to Michigan from South Carolina and our refrigerator went out. They had a new refrigerator in my house in four days, which is unheard of. We had an incident right after we moved in here with water coming through the ceiling and they had somebody out here right away. You go online and fill out your thing, and AHS sends you a text telling you who's coming out. That person calls you right away, makes an appointment and comes out. They make it simple, efficient and easy.

    A month after we took the insurance, there was a leak at the bottom of our washer. Initially, we thought it was something that came from the pipes, so we just ignored it. I already had a basin on the bottom of the washer, but I found the water was becoming more and more. I requested for service through American Home Shield, and the guy who came in said that there was a hole on the edge of the pipe. He said that was growing day by day, which was why the water was increasing. The guy came in with a part. He ordered it, then it took at least a week to get a new part. When that part came in, it was the wrong one so he had to resend that, then he came another week later.

    The guy was good, and he was very professional and courteous. The only thing that I had concerns with was the order they put in for the part and it took a while. There was a miscommunication. He sent the right part, but they sent the wrong part in. There was around two and a half weeks of delay, which I don't wanna blame the guy. At the end of the day, he fixed it. It was just changing that particular piece of rubber pipe, and it was completely done. Since then, we have been using it and we haven't had any issues. Overall, my first experience was good. I hope the rest will be the same.

    The dishwasher was leaking water on the floor and had been so repetitively. We tried to fix it ourselves but we couldn't, so we called American Home Shield and submitted a claim. I had the name of the company, the point of contact, the phone number, and the general introduction from the company. The company was very good. The issue was a piece of the dishwasher that releases vapor from the inside of the cleaning chamber. It was having a buildup, which allows more moisture to come outside as opposed to staying inside. So, the tech told us all about it, cleaned it, fixed it, and showed us what to do.

    The AC went out and I did the troubleshooting online. Everything went through so that way American Home Shield can send somebody over. I have a 1-year-old in the house and I needed to ensure the AC was working because it was really hot. The gentleman that they placed for the service was too busy and he couldn't make it until four or five days out. I needed to call American Home Shield so they could send the work out to another or bid it out to somebody else.

    I kept calling back and they were telling me that their systems were down. It was a moment of extreme frustration because they kept saying that they couldn't even verify me. I'm like, "It's funny how you have a system online that is working, but your systems are down and you don't have any other way to be able to make a phone call for somebody in the area or something like that, without having to pull up my account a lot." I understand their perspective but it was not my problem.

    I never foresee a problem with the payment coming out but they themselves had a problem. My problem is I wanna be able to get the services that I'm paying for when I need them. At the last minute, I was basically letting them know, "All I wanna do is if I pay this out of pocket, what is the likelihood of me getting this reimbursed from you guys since you guys are not providing me the service I need?" Even that, they couldn't answer. I was stuck between a bad place and a horrible one.

    American Home Shield couldn't do anything and I was to keep calling back in an hour. I did that hour after hour throughout the day. That night, it was super hot and I couldn't get anybody in here. We had to find a way to just deal with it. We even had to go downstairs and put the windows and fans open. The next day, I was able to finally get somebody on hold around 11 o'clock at night or in the morning. They were able to try to get somebody else and that person was able to make it really quick. I spent about a little bit over 30 hours for a five-minute fix.

    My washing machine broke down. I called AHS and their reps were very sympathetic. They gave me my options and the turnaround time was four days, which was decent given the state that we're in right now. Once they assigned Sears to me when I made my claim, the very next day, Sears called me and asked me what was the problem. My machine is a little bit more modern, so it came up with a code, and I was able to give them the code. So, they put that code on the part on the truck that came and when the technician got here, we talked and I told him what was going on. He looked at it and verified the code that I had.

    He even went further than that. He pulled all the hoses and looked at them to make sure it was only that particular problem. After he did all that, he put the machine back together and put the new part in. Then he turned on the washing machine and told me to wash a load to see how it was going to do. I did that and it was fine. And it's been fine ever since. I was very impressed with that technician from Sears and if my washing machine went down again, I wouldn't use anybody else but them.

They were really good.

When I renewed my last coverage, I included the dryer and washer in the plan. But when my washer broke down and I called, American Home Shield said, “You don't have coverage.” But I knew I did. So I told them that they could review all their call logs from the time I renewed it. But I had already fixed my washer. I spent $400.

    I left American Home Shield for a better priced option. I have a 5,000-square-foot home and tons of appliances. I picked a three-year package with another warranty company at a cheap cost. It was supposed to be the same type of customer service and type of warranty. But it was not even close. Everything was prorated based on how old things were. American Home Shield never really goes into that. They just say your appliances are broken and that they will send a new one if it cannot be fixed.

    I regretted leaving American Home Shield for three years, so I went back to them. Go with American Home Shield and don't try to go anywhere cheaper. I own three homes and I've tried several companies. I keep going back to American Home Shield. No more changing for me. My mother, sisters, and brother went with them too.

I called to see about one of my service requests in terms of having them come out to the house since I never got ahold of the service provider once it was assigned to me.

    I had AHS in my last house and was very satisfied with it. When I bought this house, the seller included a year's home warranty and it was a different company. It was horrible. I had to get my own repairperson. They didn't cover everything they said they'd cover. So I dropped it before the year was out and signed up with American Home Shield again because I know that it's a reputable company. I don't have to find the plumber or electrician, AHS does. I love it.

    For my recent claim, the control for the shower was stuck in the guest bathroom. I submitted a claim to AHS and they assigned a plumber. That plumber called and made an appointment to come out. Then the day of the appointment, they called and said, "We can't come today. We'll have to come tomorrow." The next day that they were supposed to come, they called and said, "We can't come today, but we can come on Monday." It irritated me. So I called AHS back and said I wanted a different plumber. That was when they sent Redman.

    He came out. He fixed the knob that controls the showerhead, but it was still leaking from the hot water and the cold water knobs. He told me that that was not covered by the claim. But AHS didn't say that. I told him, "I thought you would replace it if you couldn't stop the leak." He said, "I can. But you'll have to file a second claim and pay a second deductible or you can just pay me the $100 and I'll replace it." So that was what I did. He did good work. But I felt he was scamming me.

They said that AHS was not going to cover it. They never proposed to me that there was a 50%/50% deal that’s available. I brought this to the attention of AHS and they gave me the opportunity for a second opinion. I then got the fair deal. The second technician said, "We have this. And they should have given you this proposal. Why they are trying to sell you behind AHS back?” AHS offered me 50%/50% replacement. It was a pretty good deal so I took it. AHS has tremendous value and I've benefited from them. They provide excellent service.

    I've had three claims with American Home Shield. The first one, for a washing machine. And the initial part of it went well. However, the option that we were given and eventually decided on ended up being on back order. And it took close to six weeks to get a washing machine. That was in the middle of COVID. Many factors which American Home Shield had no control over. The problem was when I needed to contact them. There were some issues with it. Because we initially were given an option, and we chose that four hours later, it was not available. There was a bit of back and forth before we finally got it straightened out. But getting in touch to talk to them, their hold times were so long.

    I would come to work at 6:45 in the morning, and I would call them at 7:00 am when they opened. If I didn't do that, I was on hold for two-plus hours. If you call it 3:30 and you were still on hold at 5:00, they would hang up on us and we have to start again the next day. Once we finally got to talk to a person, they were always very helpful and accommodating.

    Scheduling through their online thing was fine. However, there was only one service provider in a 50-mile radius that was available that was contracted with them. And he never returned my calls. They made us attempt three times through this guy before they would finally do something else. But once after the third time, they straight up replaced the television, even without the service call. It just took a while. The last one, I had a heating element go out of my oven. I put in the request online. I did it Friday afternoon. The tech called us Monday morning. He was out by Wednesday. In and out in half an hour, replaced, no problem. Had my oven back up and working.

    For my recent claim with AHS, my icemaker was not shutting off once the ice got full. It just kept making ice and overpouring. Right after the techs repaired the ice maker, it quit making ice. I called them. They came back and did something to it so it would start back again. It took them a day or two, but they got back and did that. I also had a claim with the water heater that was done just right before that and it wasn't so easy. It was a clustered thing, because I had one claim going on in my hot water heater, and I called back to report about the ice maker. That was put in, but then the water heater was somehow taken out. Nobody had called me back about the water heater one.

When I do my request online, I'm very, very happy with them being responsive. But one thing that I loathe is speaking with someone or trying to make them understand when they are foreigners, and they do not understand our language, English. Every single time I make a request for someone to come out or have a question about something, I get these people who are offshore, and they just babble and babble and babble. You get nowhere with them. I always have to ask for a supervisor. It's unbelievably frustrating. They repeat the same canned phrases over and over and over.

    We have two appliances that were supposed to be done. One was the stove, and one was the microwave. Sears came out to take a look at my microwave. The gentleman was outstanding. He came out first, evaluated the microwave, and ordered the part. The part came to our house then he came back and fixed it. However, American Home Shield has never gotten back to us on the stove. I have a burner that's not working properly and an oven not heating properly. The problem is American Home Shield had me go look for an appliance person, but nobody will work for them. I told American Home Shield, “You need to find the appliance person because I can't find them.” It's been two months or longer. The burner gets hot. It's dangerous. If it's on low, it'll go high. I have three other burners, but it's a safety thing.

    That's the same with our plumbing. When we had issues with our plumbing downstairs, we couldn’t find a plumber. We ended up paying for some stuff ourselves because we needed it done ASAP. Our air conditioner compressor went out, and we just paid for it because it was such a hassle. If it would have been the entire air conditioner, we would have had to fight until we got it fixed. We paid money for the home warranty, but it's like pulling hair to get anything fixed because American Home Shield has a horrible reputation with paying. Contractors don't wanna do any work unless you pay them upfront. They don't even wanna mess with American Home Shield. American Home Shield has to go out and hire their own people.

Although we're not able to select multiple things at one time, I get that. That is to keep jobs housed separately. The technician from Tru Tech came out, and it was very quick and painless. The tech was out for 10 minutes, and apparently, the issue was the capacitor.

    We’ve had American Home Shield for many years and when it comes to getting things replaced, it has been a huge debacle every single time. Our dishwasher was the last item that was replaced. Our dishwasher was out from May to September, by the time we got it replaced. There was a lot of back and forth, and because we've been with them for so long, I know the runaround. I had to call them on it too. I said, “You just sent another person out here. You’re not gonna send another person to my house. In COVID, you’re not going back and forth. It’s clearly not working. So we want it replaced.” They put the onus on the technician. The technician has to say it can’t be replaced, and I was like, “Why can’t my word be bond?”

    My husband and I were ready to call it quits, then miraculously, we got the department on the line, giving us a gift card to buy our dishwasher. After 20-plus years, I should not have to go to hell and back to get an item replaced. I’m praying to God nothing else breaks in here, because I’m sure we’re gonna go through the same rigmarole.

    The electrical sockets wouldn't stay on and wouldn't work, and the guy fixed everything right away. For most of our claims, American Home Shield has been great. The technicians themselves have been good but we had an experience this last time with Sears for our dishwasher and it wasn't on AHS. It was the last one that just got fixed but the claim was out in for that before the electrical. I was bummed because the techs were super nice but when they were installing the new dishwasher, they broke a piece off. It wasn't technically their fault. It was eroded. So, it was fine. But I had to get another one and then try to figure out how to fix it myself, which I'm not the greatest at. So, that was challenging and the company probably should have done it even if they charge me for it because I don't know what I'm doing down there.

    Recently, my instant hot water dispenser valve thing broke. The techs were very good. They took a while, but that was more the part than anything. However, the policy is slightly overpriced and I'm debating whether or not to continue with AHS. It's about $600 per annum and to recoup that annually is quite difficult. It essentially was recouped on the hot water dispenser, but that's quite a rare instance. I don't need my house rekeyed six times a year. I know it's an insurance policy, but the major things, like there is a broken shelf in my refrigerator and I was told that it's not covered because the refrigerator is still refrigerating. So, there are all these caveats to the program that make it less and less usable.

When I submit a claim, I want somebody to come out and be fair. It's a reflection on American Home Shield that they deal with companies that try to take advantage of customers.

    I did a claim for the microwave and got very good and professional techs. They had all the right parts and it was just one visit. With home warranties, you have to pay the first 100 yourself and it's a wash, to some extent. But all in all, it is good to at least have something that if something major happens, that will hopefully be covered.

    American Home Shield has been responsive. I’ve had multiple issues with my freaking water heater which is finally resolved. There was one recommendation that wasn’t covered but it was the policy. It wasn’t a service issue. Genuine Plumbing & Rooter was very good. I could not complain about the service which is not always the case with vendors. I would give them an A plus. This poor guy had to come back three times before it was fixed. I had to go through American Home Shield's phone system to talk to a human because the website didn’t provide an option for callbacks. If you’ve had service then you've got further issues about an existing claim, a "click here" type of thing would probably be a good option to have. But I would definitely recommend American Home Shield. I have, over the years, bought and sold different houses and had different policies. Many of them have not been very good.

    I've had my air conditioner serviced about three times. I also had a garbage disposal serviced. The repair people fixed the air conditioning fine, but they weren't able to fix the garbage disposal. The repair people came out and just didn't want to fix it, so I had to buy a new garbage disposal. I paid my $100 service fee on top of buying a new garbage disposal. Other than that, I haven't had any issues with American Home Shield. Recently, my air conditioner went out.

    I have an open case right now and I'm still trying to get a resolution. The refrigerator freezer went out and the tech came out the next day. But it's a sealed system. The pain started after that in trying to get a company to come out. American Home Shield assigned Sears who couldn't come out for two and a half weeks. I was back on the phone with them and I couldn't get ahold of anybody at Sears. I was going round and round and in the meantime, I was throwing food away.

    Finally, they assigned a company. I called them to get it scheduled and they said they should’ve never accepted it. They're not allowed to accept an order that's already been accepted by somebody else. I said Sears didn't come out but they said it doesn't matter. If it's been accepted by another company, they can't come out. I was back on the phone with American Home Shield again. In the last two weeks, I have spent the equivalent of eight hours on the phone. I should bill them for my time.

    We finally get somebody to come out and the guy opened the door of the freezer and said he's gonna have to order some parts. That was it. He was here for two minutes. I asked how long is that going to take and he said it would probably be a couple of days. I told him I'd already tried to get American Home Shield to cash me out. He said, “Yeah compressor, Freon, four hours of labor. It's probably somewhere between $1,200 and $1,500.” It's a 15-year-old refrigerator, it's not worth 1,200 to 1,500 bucks. I went back to American Home Shield and asked if I could get the cash out option and it's four days later now. I just went out and bought another refrigerator. I had no choice. And this happens a lot with them.

    Another thing is it's very frustrating to deal with their call center in the Philippines because they can't relate. It’s a cultural gap. Some of them are a little bit difficult to understand. They're reading from a script and they spend their entire time apologizing. It seems that within American Home Shield, one group can't talk to another group. I believe most of those people over there are working from home, which I don't really care about, but when you call there, it is painful. Even when I get a US person, they're nice and helpful but they're also working remote. Also, when I ask them to get a manager, they say the manager is not there and they would call me back in 24 to 48 hours. It's not customer service-friendly. The only thing that they do quickly and promptly is take my copay.

    I've been with American Home Shield since I purchased my home in 2009 and if I could go with another company, I would. There are a lot of hidden fees. Also, they don't keep contractors. I never get the same contractor twice and it's very hard to find contractors. They are normally from out of state, Georgia, so service calls are a hot mess and appointment times are a complete disaster.

    One time, a contractor came to my house and he was in a non-identifiable vehicle and he had a paper badge. I called American Home Shield before letting him in my home to identify who the individual was and they couldn't tell me his name. Every time that I make these calls, I try to ask and I make sure it's noted. But they didn't know who this contractor was and this gentleman was coming in to do work in my home. I don't really appreciate those types of things. I'm not sure what I was gonna do next and it was just a back and forth. It eventually got resolved but I had to speak to a supervisor three times. The plumber was amazing but the hassle around the plumber wasn't worth it to me.

    Then with the AC unit, I was not told in advance that there are two options but you're only given option one, which is, "These are the repairs, this is what needs to be done, and this is going to be the cost." They tried to charge me double for one unit. AirPro is the company that installed my unit in 2009 when I purchased my home. I ended up getting them to do the work. Their office manager a) told me that my price was lower and b) informed me of option two which American Home Shield does not give us as homeowners. That option two is to go with a contracted licensed professional outside of American Home Shield. As long as that company is licensed and bonded, I can send in proof of all that and I get cash back. I got back 900 and some odd dollars from American Home Shield. My unit was 2,000 so I only spent 1,000.

    One other thing was my hot water heater went bad. It was replaced with American Home Shield and the contractor said I needed an expansion tank. They said there's a $600 builder's permit fee to put this tiny tank. He replaced the hot water and put an expansion tank. For the expansion tank, he used a rubber hose. I asked him about it and took pictures of it. I asked if it doesn't need something a little sturdier and attached to the wall and he said no.

    A year and a half later, that expansion tank and hose were leaning over my hot water heater and water was coming out of it. I called American Home Shield back and they tried to charge me another fee. I said they're not gonna charge me a service fee for something that the guy should have fixed the first time. After a lot of fighting, they went ahead and paid for it. But come to find out, the company that they had hired is no longer in service. They have numerous complaints about the same fee that I was charged. American Home Shield sent out a second company and the guy put up copper piping. Other than those, I've had 100% service experience 90% of the time.

    United Garage repaired the sensors and it was fine. My main issue is with my air conditioning claim. It's been a nightmare. I know American Home Shield has been trying to help out, but it's been moving really slow. I put that claim out at the end of August, and I still have no AC. The first time, it was the compressor that needed to be replaced, but when the first AC guys came in, I didn't really trust them. They're called Mr. Freeze, and they have a one-star rating on Yelp. Every single review of theirs is terrible. So I had another AC guy come in just to check what was wrong with the unit, and he also said the compressor wasn't working. We tried doing the replacement, but when Mr. Freeze came back, they said, "The AC is not turning on, so there's some electrical issue." So we got an electrician to fix it.

    The third time the AC people came was two weeks ago, and I heard a bang while they were working on the unit. They said the compressor blew up and all the Freon dissipated. It was like, they saw the Freon come out of the AC. They also told me that the unit is now messed up. I've had enough. I went from the unit working properly, just didn't blow cold air, to what's now completely messed up, and I know that Mr. Freeze is fault. That's why they're working hard to tell the manufacturer to replace it, but the manufacturer knows it's not their fault either. The manufacturer said, "This is only a five-year-old unit. How did it just suddenly stop working? That doesn't happen." These units cost like 10 grand each, and I don't wanna pay 10 grand for something that I had no control over.

    The fan motor was going out on my outside AC unit and started making a noise. A guy came out and he looked at it. I asked if he could replace the motor and he said he could not replace it until it goes all the way out. I said, "Buddy, you can hear the motor. The bearings are going. It's broken. It's fixing to go out here in the next day or so." But he still said he could not do it as the AC was still working. That didn't make sense to me. He told me I would have to call American Home Shield back when it goes out. They would call the service company and they'll come back out to repair it.

    Two days later, the motor quit working and it almost burned up the unit. American Home Shield would rather replace a $200 motor instead of replacing a $5,000 air conditioner. I had to call American Home Shield and they said they would dispatch the techs back out. They came out a day later. It was three days after the motor went out that I went without my air conditioner. Luckily, it was not too hot and I had a window unit that I could put in the kitchen to keep the house a little cool. But during the night, it wasn't too bad.

    On the whole, I was discouraged about what happened. But it is what it is. I had another claim for a refrigerator problem. I had to call two or three times to get the tech guys back out here. The whole deal with that was with parts as they were waiting on them. There were two parts - the hinges on the door and the ice maker. The icemaker could have been replaced before the hinges. The tech had to order the hinges and said he was going to come back when the hinges all came in. They could have fixed that but I went without an icemaker for about three weeks until the parts came in. The techs then came back and fixed it.

    American Home Shield is good and I have recommended them to people. I know how the home warranty works and it's a $100 service fee. Techs look at the issue, call American Home Shield, get the parts then come back out. I understand all that. The guys that came out that did the work were really professional. The ladies that I talked to on the phone were really helpful too. There was a time when my card on file got hacked. I got a recorded message saying to call American Home Shield. I called in to get the service and it was right around the same time I called in for the air conditioner. The rep said I was late on my payment. because I got hacked, I need to put a card on file so they can take the payment off of that one and delete the other one. The rep reinstated it so that was a good part. We got it all straightened out. They were a big help on that end.

    I had a service call for a leak from the third floor to the main area and the kitchen. Older gentlemen came and told me, "You didn't identify it correctly. You have to turn off the lights. You, the owner, have to do that, and then open the ceiling,” and this and that, because they said they don't do that. They looked at the pipe in the basement. They opened the drywall of the closet and left it open like that. They then never came back to patch it up and rodents can come through that wall. This was a while back. The technicians at that time were bad and they didn't even do anything.

    I was a little bit dissatisfied in the beginning. I paid for premium coverage and the brochure said the warranty covered everything such as the roof. When the leak happened on the third floor to the main area, I thought it was the roof. When I called American Home Shield, they said they didn't cover that. I was very upset about that. I bought the policy in December and by January, they changed their policy.

    I also had a disposal issue. Technicians came and they told me they could not fix the disposal and that I would have to buy a new one. They sort of fixed the issue. After they left, they did not close something under the sink and that caused the leak in the basement. The basement was flooded. The first visit was T. Mayes Plumbing and Heating and they misdiagnosed the issue. It was not even a leak. It’s the gasket that needed to be tightened. But they were telling me I needed to get an electrician and that I would have to open the ceiling. My son-in-law's father came by and he said it was just the gasket. I called American Home Shield and told them that. I said I didn't want T Mayes Plumbing because they left the hole open and they misdiagnosed things. They sent All Pro Plumbing.

    A technician came and was very good and professional. He cut the ceiling to see where the leak came from. After he identified the leak and he fixed it, I asked about the hole. I was told that would be patched. I was waiting for the plumber because it was part of the same work. This morning, the plumbing company called and said they didn't do that. There's a separate drywall company. I called American Home Shield and they said another company will reach out to me. They do drywall and ceiling.

    The air conditioner broke and I tried to reach AHS, but nobody answered in the weekend. So, for urgency, I called a company for repair then after he fixed it and left, I tried to claim with AHS but they said that I had to go through them, which is weird. If I got a kitchen equipment problem, I'd go through the proper channels and call AHS. After one week, people would come and after two weeks, they order the part. After the two weeks, they fix the problem. So, if it would be the same thing with the air conditioner where I have to wait for one week under 100 degrees temperature, it is not logical. Other than that, American Home Shield's service has been excellent.

    The dishwasher was malfunctioning. So, I called AHS and they sent a technician. The technician knew the problem and found out that there was a part that needed to be ordered. They came today, installed a new part, and the problem was resolved. Both guys who came out were professional. I have AHS because I don't have time to be dealing with the little problems at home and I’m not trained for that. I prefer the peace of mind and to pay for them to take care of my problems. And they have done it excellently so far.

    We just moved into the house last year and the range and the ice maker were already here. They're only a few years old but the icemaker would stop working randomly. A day or two later, it would work. A couple of months ago, it finally just stopped altogether. All the Google searching, cleaning, and retrying stuff didn't work for me. We filed a claim for that and the range as well. When we bought the house, we were told us that we should have it looked at because it was making a weird buzzing sound. A guy got here to inspect it and he noticed some pitting and damage to the glass.

    The tech we had was great. I’m always nervous to have some company come out that I don't really know or have heard about. But he was very knowledgeable and was able to diagnose the freezer pretty quickly. He came back out to fix it so everything's working as it should now. As for the range, we replaced it. The email that I got last from American Home Shield said that I could choose one of their appliances but they didn’t have one that matched our kitchen, so I bought one. They said that they would reimburse up to $657 and that the check would be mailed shortly.

    I was initially very skeptical about doing the warranty but I figured since there are a couple of things here that may need attention in the near future, I would give it a shot and it worked out great. We have another claim on the furnace. We used one of American Home Shield's promotion tune-ups and techs came out and said that the furnace was broken. I got an email saying parts were ordered and I clicked the Accept button to go ahead and pay the $1,300. American Home Shield would only give me a cash-out payment of $1,500, which was confusing. The only reason I was looking at the cash-out is because the week before, I actually had somebody come out and do a quote on it because they had a promotion of if you buy a furnace, you get a free AC. Our AC is getting pretty old too but it’s still working.

    To alleviate the issue of just having another claim on the AC, I thought the payout would be a little bit higher so that I can pay the difference and have them both replaced at the same time. I'm not fully understanding exactly what's covered or what I'm actually paying for out of pocket. I'm sure somebody will explain it to me, eventually. I’m just trying to figure out how things work. The biggest question I have is if they're asking me to pay $1,300. The quote that I just got was $6,000, I figured I'd get more of a payout of 3,500 or 4,000, which is something that's closer to what the AC actually is gonna cost.

    Dempsey Oil did a good job. They came and I told them what the problem was with the heating system. They said that they were gonna put a claim on American Home Shield and if they approve it, they would order the parts and come back. Three weeks later, they called me. They had the parts and they were gonna come. They put it in and fixed it. When I call AHS, I have to pay 125 upfront, which is fine. They get the people very fast, especially for the heating company. The technicians they send are very knowledgeable and experienced.

    I had an AC person come out. One company first came out and said there was a need to change the voltage. He was going to put a new voltage regulator on there. He added that was just the start and if it's something else, they would go from there. He went on the roof and within two minutes, he was gone. He didn't communicate any more than that to me. A whole month wnet by and I had no AC. It was 111 and on one of those days, it was 114. I called AHS because at that point, I didn't even know who came out. I didn't catch who it was because the app just said, "Your American Home Shield appointment is scheduled for this day." But it didn't say who. I haven't learned how to figure out on the app itself how to go back.I can't find where it's stored.

    I called American Home Shield and they sent out a different company. I was charged again and then charged for another person. I couldn't really understand the gal and I kept telling her, "Is there somebody who speaks clear English? Because I'm having a hard time understanding you." She put me on hold, came back on, and she tried to change the way she spoke. Her accent was so strong that I could not really understand what she saying.

    In between that, I needed ductwork checked out. But when I called, the rep said the ductwork would be a separate thing. I got charged for it. The gentleman from the ductwork came out and said, "One of your things is disconnected. One needs to be replaced. The ductwork isn't getting air to two of the rooms either." I had been waiting for two months for that to get repaired. Every time somebody comes from that company, it's a different person. I told my husband it was like American Home Shield is getting anybody and everybody to come and do these jobs but nobody knows anything. Nobody ever leaves me anything to sign so that I could say, "They're waiting to repair this or that." A tech went up there and found a whole different problem.

    In the meantime, the tech from Austin Air and Heating came back. He was a younger guy and he went up there. He said he didn't know what it was but he would change the regulator. I told him that was changed a month ago and it still didn't work. He's said, "Yeah, but it wasn't from our company." He said, "Well, it kicked on." Exactly what it did with the first guy. It kicked on, overheated within two hours, and shut down again.

    I told the AHS rep, "Look, it didn't work. It's only been working for two hours. Something needs to give. You guys aren't listening to me. I told him that that's the same part that was fixed. What is going on?" She's like, "I could send them back right now." The tech got there and said there were three parts that it needed and that it was gonna be a whole month before the AC gets fixed because they have to order the parts. I said to the rep, "Ma'am, I just got off the phone with you five minutes ago. How did Austin get there that fast? And nobody called me to turn on the system. So how did he know all those things broke?"

    I still don't know what the tech fixed and didn't fix. We're waiting months in-between. American Home Shield had two different AC people come out when I tried to do a callback. I needed somebody to come and check out the ductwork. But it charged me for the AC person, then the rep went and did a manual callback so then it charged me for that person. I just can't keep up and I don't know how to make this work. Somebody should be properly doing what they needed to do - communicating and leaving me work orders or invoices that states what exactly changed. Right now, I'm extremely dissatisfied.

    I had a problem with a water heater. It just stopped. American Home Shield sent Gallagher out. The only problem I have is, I’m trying to register the furnace that they put in, and I can't seem to get the serial number. The furnace gives me an option to go online to register the furnace. I talked to Gallagher. They said, “Well, talk to American Home Shield. They're the ones that purchased it. They probably have all that information.” I talked to a young lady that I couldn't really understand but then when I asked her for the information, she didn’t seem like she was that bothered to take a look. She said, “I don't think we have it.” I said, “Well, could you look at maybe the purchase when y’all purchased the furnace?” She said, “We don't have the information.” Overall, I'm satisfied. AHS has been good. It just took a long time to get the furnace. From the time I put the thing in, it took us almost a month and a half.

    The dishwasher was leaking and we had someone come out here. He said something about the motor or something was wrong with it and that was what was causing it to leak. A lady called last Friday and asked for measurements but I was at work, so I wasn't able to follow up. I just got those measurements yesterday. So, I just need to call her back and finalize that. We've had American Home Shield for years and I like them because they give total packages. Sometimes, in my previous or prior rental, it was hit or miss. That might have to do with the area. But with this property, it seems the people they send out and the turnaround time are a little bit more efficient.

    The contractor that went out this last time was great. On other properties I had, I wasn't very satisfied with who came out. It always seemed like we pay a fee but then it was always extra or more. So, it's like we are paying for ourselves because we've done this outside of the warranty or they're not very knowledgeable. When we had to get our water heater replaced, COVID was happening and a lot of people were sick but it took two weeks just to get somebody out to the house. So, this last time, it wasn't like that. If AHS can continue to keep up the professionalism, the quick turnaround times and making sure they get subcontractors that are dependable, reliable, and can get the work done, we'll be doing well.

    I had an air conditioner claim around Labor Day, and one of the vendors American Home Shield was setting it up with me couldn't get to me for a week. I'm in Scottsdale, Arizona, so a week without an air conditioner wasn't acceptable. I had to go outside the warranty company and get someone else to fix it. However, I don't think it was American Home Shield's problem. It was a vendor problem as far as where they couldn't service me, and I realize it was Labor Day, so they didn't have as many people, but that didn't help my situation.

    I'm also having a problem with American Home Shield billing me for that service call. I talked to customer service after they billed me and said, “Hey, I never got the service.” They said, “Okay. Well, we'll take it off,” but I'm still getting bills for the $100. On the other hand, I really liked the last technician that's come out the last couple of times. He did really good. He repaired my dishwasher, and he looked over my oven and couldn't find anything wrong with that. On those calls, American Home Shield was good.
