    On August 4, 2022 I signed a contract with American Home Shield (Contract ID: **) after my other home warranty which was purchase through the escrow expired. On September 27, 2022, my downstairs AC failed, and I called them for service. American Home Shield denied the claim stating the contractor on site determined the issue is a pre-existing problem and instructed me to contact the contractor. I called the contractor which stated he only determined that the condenser failed but never stated pre-existing. The conclusion American Home Shield refuse to fix the AC and blames the contractor and vice-versa. I already filed a complaint with California Insurance Commission and Better Business Bureau and sent them a notice before legal procedure.

    Looking for loopholes and every reason not to honor warranty services... Needed to get my sump pump fixed, heavy rains recently and I noticed window wells weren't draining quickly. Contacted AHS and then sent out United Air Temp. Contractor arrived and I could tell immediately he was going to try and do everything in his power not to do the work. First he doesn't even diagnose the sump pump. He literally just looks at it and says, "Yup, it's working fine." To which I respond... and how do you know that you didn't even touch it.

    I finally shamed him into doing his job and he removed the cover and ran the motor test and the water was not draining... imagine that. He says, "Ok, you are correct the motor is burned out. I need to call AHS to get authorization to fix." He comes back 15 minutes later and says AHS won't cover because the AC condensate line is what caused the motor to burn out and not the hundreds of gallons of ground/rainwater that we have received in the past several weeks. AC has been off for months and the condensate line is bone dry. So the trickle of water that comes out of the condensate line during the summer is what caused the motor to burn out... You've got to be kidding me. The AHS rep offers to send another technician out for an additional fee. And the technician of course quickly offers an estimate of 2K to replace the pump. What a joke. AHS, this is my first experience using you... and now I can see why you have so many bad reviews.

    I had tenants that were living in my unit. Once they moved out, I went to look to make sure everything was fine before the next tenant comes. I wanted to make sure that the plumber did make sure that the tub drain was running fine. There was also a work order for the garbage disposal. What I found frustrating is I thought that American Home Shield would have covered the new garbage disposal and had it replaced. I ended up having someone else come out and install it for me.

    We've had AHS for years in several different houses or rental houses and they've always been responsive and professional. They've completed the task required with no complaint. Our claim with AHS was for a refrigerator. It's been repaired a couple of times. One was the refrigerator portion was running warm and the freezer was running extra cold. So, we had food that was not being chilled appropriately, and then you had the freezer was rock hard. They sent out a tech and they fixed it and it was fine. He was back a couple of times 'cause they had to order parts, had to come back, fix it and the thing worked great. Fella was very nice, gracious, told us what was going on, and explained the situation, something wasn't working, so replaced it. That was fine for quite a few months.

    Then, the freezer compartment couldn't even open the door. It was frozen. Finally, we had to really shut it down to zero in order for it to open the door and it was all snowy in there. Again, another tech came out. Because the tech that had fixed it before was on vacation. Again, ordered the part, came back, replaced the part, and everything's fine. They did what they needed to do to fix it and I was satisfied with the service. They were prompt, timely and they communicated and let us know what was going on. Couldn't ask for anything more than that.

    American Home Shield will cover the cost of most of the things that my policy covers. So, I was annoyed the other day when I went to file a claim on my refrigerator, which used to be in the house, but we moved out into the garage and replaced it in the house with a new refrigerator. The one in the garage was going strong, but it eventually died also. I called a claim in on that. The house fridge is covered by my policy, but not the garage fridge. But I checked my policy and that wasn't out there. So, I can't fault AHS for that. After the experience with the refrigerator, I read through my agreement again. And it was an older agreement. But I would simplify the agreement in terms of spelling out clearly exactly what is covered and not under different types of plans.

    After we moved in, our water heater failed. The technician American Home Shield sent out wanted us to replace the system that we had previously with the exact same setup, which was a 1990 setup. It would cost $3,000. And AHS would only going to cover 1,000 of it. So we got a private plumber to come in and look at it. And they said, "No. This stuff is very old." And the reason it cost so much is they would have to fish around for old equipment to replace this with that they don't even use anymore because it's outdated. And they priced it out with them.

    They also said they could replace the water heater for $800, which was mostly the cost of the water heater and $100 service. We asked AHS if we could just do that instead of the technician's recommendation, which would have been a lot more expensive. They said, "Sure. Go ahead do that." That was at one instance. Other than that, they all did everything expected. And being able to go with our own private contractor with that water heater instead of being forced into using American Home Shield's tech was helpful.

    American Home Shield is a very good company. They contact you by text and let you know where they're at and when they’re arriving. So far, I had a nice experience. I made an appointment by phone to them, then I got a phone call from somebody in Texas from A&E, which is Sears. He wanted details on what was wrong, and I told him, then he said he would pass it on to the tech that's doing the job so they have all the details.

    A year ago, my refrigerator temperature was getting too warm. The freezer was fine but it was forming a little ice at the bottom of the platform after I open the door. A nice gentleman from Sears came and opened up the compartment in the back of the refrigerator freezer. He had to use a steam gun to melt all the ice out. There was a block and the vent was clogged with ice. A year later, it happened again. The same gentleman came over and did it again. He's a very nice man. He stayed a while and tried to get that all cleaned up, emptied everything out, and put all the trays back in. Everything's still working, but he doesn't even know why it keeps doing that. He said, “This particular model, it happens a lot.” It's a 12-year-old double door refrigerator freezer by Whirlpool.

    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.

    When people apply for the American Home Shield or take it out, they need to know that they're taking out a policy. If they don't know how the appliances are, they need more coverage for the appliance. I canceled American Home Shield, all policies, one time, when they wouldn’t fix my air conditioner in Macon, Georgia. I had to fix that issue myself. They wouldn’t pay for. I went back to American Home Shield. And I got a better rate because I told them what had happened. I’ve had this other company that keeps trying to get me to go with them. But I looked on their website, and it’s not comparable to AHS for my price.

    The washing machine filled up with water, and it wouldn’t do anything. We bought it in 2004. The contractor had to get the water out of it, because we had clothes in it trying to wash. But they got it. And they said they couldn’t manually do it. They had to put a hose in there and drain it out through a hose pipe because they couldn’t get it to drain. They were awesome. But they couldn’t fix the washing machine. We’re waiting. And I’ve been checking online, and they said it was shipping. That was days ago. And I haven't heard anything else from American Home Shield saying it was shipped. They said it was shipped, but it hasn’t got here.

    I would tell others to give AHS a shot. We've had a very good experience. We've had a few problems and we were never turned away or told that it was too much. We had to replace the dishwasher. We had an issue with the fridge recently. We had the microwave and the dishwasher issues. American Home Shield has stayed consistent in their service and they've been there for us. So, I'm happy about that. I like the level of customer service when you call in and the availability of people to talk to. Then, it seems like the people really want to do well because in the end, they ask you for a survey. I always love that survey. They're very friendly and welcoming, too. What I liked best is the service and ability to connect with someone. Every time I call, even though it's like 9:00 PM, someone comes out.

    We had an issue with our sump pump where the pipe was leaking out like water was filling the part of our basement where the sump pump is. It's almost like a storage little room area.

    American Home Shield’s service could be a little bit better. The vendor they chose took a month to fix something. I kept calling saying that they had to return and it didn't seem like they were very proactive with trying to make sure they came in a timely manner. The ticket shouldn't be closed out because I have a hole in my wall now from the plumber that hasn't been fixed. It's been a while that the plumber first came out. They should be in contact with a vendor rather than me having to keep calling and prompting them to call the vendor to get it resolved.

    I like that when I've called AHS to get something fixed, they get a vendor right away. It was just that one situation that was not handled very well. I’ve had two other things that have been resolved quickly with the vendors they chose. I just wish they would have gone with a different vendor for the plumber after they hadn’t gotten a response in almost a month.

    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.”

    I'm not super happy with American Home Shield. I feel like the contractors that they contract with aren’t rated very well. We had a plumbing issue the other day and instead of using our warranty, we hired a plumber and paid them hundreds of dollars versus the plumbers AHS uses. We did have our AC break right after. The AC people were fine. The plumber that always shows up anytime I make a plumbing request is Plumb Genius, and we had a not-so-great experience with them when they installed our hot water tank. We couldn't use anyone else because no one else was covered by the warranty. The city inspector was supposed to come and check the hot water tank, but they never set that up with us because they didn't like the time that I was available for them.

    I've been very happy with American Home Shield. I figured that having many appliances, a furnace and an air conditioner, and if I had to replace them, if I paid my premium and paid $100 to have repairs done, I came out ahead with AHS. Recently, the AC had quit blowing cold air. When the tech went out to it, it needed a new board. And he wired it temporarily to just the air conditioner work and not the furnace. And he never came back. I wasn't happy with the contractor. I called and texted but I could not get ahold of them. And I called AHS. They could not get ahold of them. So, they got somebody else out here and they immediately fixed it. Get AHS. You won't be sorry.

    We had an issue with the pool pump and the person who came out was quite efficient and saw immediately what the issue was and was able to correct it. So we were very pleased. In this case, it was pretty quickly when the order went in and the contractor was out within 24 to 48 hours. So that was really good. American Home Shield's service is good, but it's quite entangled in the bureaucracy. When someone calls for service, especially on a product or an appliance that needs immediate attention, and once you call the company, you can get to someone very quickly and they can check everything, and then they can dispatch someone to remedy or address the situation as quickly as possible. But sometimes, that doesn't happen. Some of the contractors are not exactly in your location so it takes a little time.

    We liked the fact that it has become easier to get to a person who can help us. So the process has improved. Before, the automated system screens you at the moment you call and then they will refer you to another person, which sometimes you could wait for half an hour to an hour to connect with anyone, and then they would have to check everything. But now, when you call, you give them the essentials, and they can track who you are and you tell them what you want. At that point, they can determine and designate the vendor that is coming out and then their number. Then the email or the text comes within minutes that the order has been placed. But overall, we're pleased and we've been a little more impressed with the ability to get through quicker.

    The tech from New Oak is supposed to come back today and fix the washer. They fixed it once, but it broke again. He said it may break again and it may need a part, but he at least got it working. So yeah, I think he’s supposed to come back today. I haven’t heard from him just yet. I like him a lot. He's very efficient. He comes quickly and gets his work done. He was very nice to deal with.

    New Oak came and fixed the dryer before and I was very happy with their service. It’s much better than a couple of the other maintenance companies American Home Shield has been using. I really do not like Express at all. It's a miserable, awful service. They replaced our dishwasher. It took months to do. It took weeks before they called. I did a phone thing, which I didn't like doing. When you pay for service, you expect the technician to come. I had to stop what I was doing and do a phone call, and give him all this information over the phone. Then somebody eventually came and determined the dishwasher needed to be replaced. Then, it took another few weeks before we got the information. Then the washer was delivered.

    The service people came out to install it, and it was a girl and a young man. They said, “Oh, well, you don't have a drain something.” I said, “Well, I'm sure I do. We've lived in this house for 30 years, and we’ve had a dishwasher here. So, there is a drain thing. And I’m sorry I can’t get up underneath there and show you, but it's there.” They said, “Oh no, it's definitely not there. We're not going to be able to do it.” So, they left. I had to call back. It took close to four months we dealt without a dishwasher. So, it was a very bad experience.

    We’ve had AHS for over 30 years. In the long run, it’s worth it but it’s not been great at times. We had a situation with an air conditioner where they claim that I had not maintained the air conditioner. The only people we call for maintenance are from American Home Shield. So, if anybody failed in the maintenance, it was their providers. They had two different companies come out. While the boys that came here and did the evaluation said that they could see no lack of maintenance, when they got back to their office, then we received notices that said, “Oh, this is due to poor maintenance." So, they did not cover it. I had to spend over $3,000 just to replace that air conditioner. That was not a good experience and I considered kicking them to the curb, but my wife talked me out of it.

    Overall, AHS saved us money by doing it but those two experiences with the air conditioner and the dishwasher really left a bad taste in my mouth. So, it’s encouraging that they found this new company, New Oak. I’m happy with them. Hopefully, he’ll be here today and fix this because the same problem came back. He made me aware that it could happen, but I think he was just following the protocol of what he had to do.

But they can improve their consistency and communication. If I'm going to have an issue with my air conditioner, I want the same company to be the one that comes out every time. There's also the timeliness.

    I paid $3,075 for a new AC unit and it never worked right from when the tech installed it. After only a week since they'd put it in, I started having water leaking out from underneath the unit down in the basement. The tech came out and I asked him what the problem was. He said he was the owner of My Cousin Vinnie and he told me he had to put Freon in this unit. But that's a brand-new unit and you shouldn't have to put anything in it. Now, there's water and oil leaking from the unit. I had a neighbor who knew a little bit about air conditioning units and he told me that the copper pipe that's on the outside of the unit itself got a hole in it. So it wasn't soldered correctly and that's where all the water and the oil are coming out. So, I don't know if the unit was defective when it was brought here but the same thing’s going to happen come summertime when I go to switch it over to air conditioning.

    I called American Home Shield and the girl said that she’d put me on hold then she called the owner of My Cousin Vinnie. She told me that he refused to come out unless I pay another service fee. That's ridiculous and I am not going to pay another service fee when that should be covered by some kind of warranty. And if it wasn't installed correctly from the get-go, that's not my fault.

    I paid enough because I had to pay the $125 when he first came out and said I needed a new unit. I also just got American Home Shield and they take 44.99 out of my account every month. Besides that, I had another guy come out who did the heater and I had to pay him $125 to do whatever he had to do with it to get it fixed. And that was probably caused by that air conditioning unit that My Cousin Vinnie installed since I didn't have any problems with the heater last year. Aside from that, I didn't get a hand delivered kind of warranty paperwork when I should have gotten something. So far, I haven't heard a word from neither AHS or My Cousin Vinnie.

    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.

    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.

    My dryer quit and a gentleman from Heritage Appliance Service came out. He pulled out a whole bunch of lint that was on the bottom of the dryer and he replaced a fuse. The dryer worked for a short time and he had to come out again. Between the dryer and the hookup, there was another amount of really old lint. He took care of it and it's now fine. I like the quick response from AHS. The only thing is I surmise that when somebody comes out, their instructions are, "Fix the easiest and cheapest thing first, and if it works, great. If it doesn't, go back and do the big job." I've had that and that's annoying sometimes.

    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.

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.

    The claims process with American Home Shield was pretty straightforward and simple. When I called them, it was all automated, which was easy and straightforward to say what appliance. Then they dispatched the contractor within a day or two. The AC had gone out a couple of times. It's a pretty old one. The fan stopped spinning. When the technician came out, the issue ended up being the compressor. He said it was pretty typical. He swapped it out and said that it was one of the easiest things that can go wrong on an AC unit. He said it was an easy job for him. He also checked the thermostat and the AC vents. He made sure the air was flowing and asked if we had any questions. He did a great job. He didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need.

    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.

So when you flush it, the water goes down. I was wondering about where the water was coming from. When that happened, I said, "We have three tanks that are similar to that." So, I tried the other tank but it did the same thing again. We also tried it in our master bathroom. But it was okay. There was no leak. When I called American Home Shield, that was when I reported that. I only reported one. But when I tried the other one, it also did the same thing. So, AHS did that service call for me. When the guy came, he said that the thing was loose. He tightened it and he changed some stuff inside because they were worn out already. Like rubber for when you flush it. They used the cheap kind for the previous. Everything is fine now.

    The water in the heater was intermittently very hot. And it would go to no hot water. I put that water heater in 1985. What typically happens with that is that the element and the thermostat would start to fail. So I went back and looked at it. We were having a leak in the water heater. But with it failing like that, we decided that, having paid the premiums on the American Home Shield, it would be time to submit a claim. It was very straightforward. It breaks it down into types of systems in your home. So, I selected the system that would have the plumbing in it. From there, I was able to accept the water heater. And it gave me examples of failure, which I selected one. It told me that the copay was $100. And I agreed to that. I put a new payment option in as I made the claim. And the rest is history.

    I texted and had a conversation with Wabash Valley Plumbing people before they even made an appointment. And I took some pictures and sent it to him. A representative of AHS called and asked me to take some pictures. I described the issue to her. 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. And they told me when it was in, when to expect them. And they gave me an appointment with a timeframe from 11:00 to 5:00 on a day. And they wound up being here before noon to start the repairs. The communication was great. And the efficiency of the installation was spot-on. We’re very pleased with everything that happened.

    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.

    The contractor comes out and checks when they’re supposed to. But I had an issue when the bathroom toilet kept flushing on its own. 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. I ended up having to buy a new toilet and it annoyed me because that's what I got American Home Shield to do.

    For my AC claim, the contractor came right out and resolved the issue. But I had an issue with the guy who was supposed to come out and check the refrigerator.

But when it came back on, he called and we made an appointment for him to come, but he didn't come.

    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.

    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.

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.

    I thought I had an electrical problem and I solicited an electrician to come to the house. He said it was not an electrical problem but an air condition one. But when the air condition guy came, he said it was not an air condition problem but an electrical one. He showed me that it was a damaged ground wire in the yard and he said he couldn't touch it. The second electrician came and said the issue has something to do with the breaker switch box. He said he has to go to the attic to do something. I asked for a second opinion and another electrician come out. They looked at it and went away. The guy said the warranty does not pay for that kind of work. Four people came out and nobody paid any interest on it. I didn't get my problem resolved and I had to hire a private electrician to come.

    Then, the AC wasn’t working and I solicited an AC guy. He came and said there was something that had to be blown out. He did but after he left, the AC wasn’t working. I had to call a private AC guy and he said the breaker switch plug wasn’t pushed in properly. AHS is prompt in their response but when the contractors come out, I don't get any good results. My plan is to discontinue my service.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    American Home Shield is like insurance, and people can’t live with no health insurance. Sometimes, I don’t need them for two or three years, but there are times like this time when I did a claim for my microwave, stove and dishwasher. It was very nice, and it was a good thing it was all three appliances. I only had to pay for one deductible fee. The person who came to fix the stuff was very nice, and I recommend him for anybody. He’s a professional and very outgoing person, and he knows his business. He fixed my microwave and stove and did a very good job. He also recommend that my dishwasher was not fixable, so American Home Shield sent me money to buy a new one.

    The only thing is, when American Home Shield sent me my money, they did not send me a check to buy my dishwasher. They sent me an e-card for Lowe's, so I was stuck with what they had. 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. Next time, American Home Shield should just send a check or a regular card so I can swap myself and walk out. I don’t need to go through the cashiers or four different people to get what I want, to scan the card. It wasn’t an easy experience. Otherwise, everything else was okay.

    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. Overall, American Home Shield is a service, and I had high hopes because some of my friends used to have this a long time back. They talked good about it, but sometimes it makes me think whether I should stay with them or not.

    I purchased this house back in July, and as part of the agreement of sale, the home warranty was purchased by the seller for me, but it wasn't set up right. I went weeks without hot water because every time I put in a service request, they sent the work order out in the seller's name and not my name. It was a migraine. I must have made 20 calls into American Home Shield. I took a picture of it on my phone because no one would believe me. I was an hour and 15 minutes on the phone, and wouldn’t get off until I got to someone that I felt could help me. Finally, I got to someone who was more like a technical support person within American Home Shield, and she somehow figured it out. So now, I got a new policy. It's the same policy number but it's in my name. Then I was able to get the plumber out.

    As far as the service goes, he was very timely and polite. He was very professional every time I talked to him. It was very, very good. In fact, he got out there sooner. He kept me up to date. He texted me because he knew I was working. He didn’t think he was gonna get it fixed till a certain date, but he got the parts sooner. So he went above and beyond to get it taken care of.

    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.

    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. That's as soon as we can get it.” When the guy came out, he put the snake in. He said, “Well, I went, like, 65 or 80 feet, and it's out in the street. 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.

    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.

    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.

    The dishwasher didn't work. The lights came on like it was going to work. But when I would hit start, it wouldn't do anything. It didn't wash any dishes. The website of AHS was user-friendly when I submitted a claim. I received the name of the company and that they would be contacting me to set up an appointment. The interaction and the service of the tech was fine. He had to order a part. Then when he received the part, he contacted me, came back and installed the part. I've been very happy with my experience with AHS except for when someone came out Wednesday for the heat. And he said he couldn't fix it and he would contact the warranty company, but I haven't heard anything back from anybody. So I still don’t have heat. But otherwise, I've been very pleased with their reaction time.

    A service call was created on 9/13/2022 for a Gas Furnace repair. On 9/19/22, it was determined that the repair would not be covered due to a faulty installation. On 9/26/22, I called customer service to escalate the matter due to the following facts: The same contractor worked on the same appliance in Nov 2021, but the issue was not resolved. In Dec 2021, the same contractor installed a new motor on the furnace. Now, in Sept 2022, this contractor claims that the motor was not installed to code--the SAME motor that THEY installed! For these reasons, my repair/replacement should be covered by American Home Shield. However, it is 10/12/2022 and I still have not received resolution on this issue despite being promised a response by 9/30/2022. Winter is drawing near and I CANNOT continue sitting in a cold house while I get the 'runaround' from this company.

    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.

    The ease of contacting American Home Shield has been great, and it's a usually quick and reliable service. We had our heater go out during the Snowmageddon deal two years ago. It was a deep freeze, and one of our furnaces went out. That was the only time that they weren't able to get out here within the next couple of days, because everything was crazy at that point. Even so, they ended up coming over and fixed the problem for us.

    American Home Shield has been great. I wouldn't have a policy unless I thought it was a good idea to have them. It's one of those situations where you could go your whole time owning a home and not have to use it, but the peace of mind that everything's covered for a $75 service fee is awesome. The last time someone came out though, I had them look at our AC system, and they fixed part of the problem. I left a message with them about a week ago, the same message, it's still not blowing cold air. They haven't called back yet.

Every day, they told us to do something different. One day, they said it was the motherboard. Another day, they said it was the sensor. But they were helpful. On the last time one of the technicians was out, he gave his cell number to my wife so that if she needed anything in the future, she could reach out.

    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. Also, to get anything done through AHS, you have to stay on top of it because if you don't, it won't happen.

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.

    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.

    The toilet was backing up into my shower. We called in because we needed somebody who could handle it that Saturday. The person who was originally assigned doesn't work on the weekends. American Home Shield got another plumber who could. We waited on the line while the rep got someone else in the area. He called right away while we were still on the line with American Home Shield and set up a time. He said he would be there at 1 o'clock. He showed up at 1 o'clock and got it taken care of.

    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. Also, American Home Shield needs to make sure that they identify whether or not it's an emergent issue that needs to be dealt with right away versus something that can wait 24, 48 hours.

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.

    Pro First, the contractor, initially came out and looked at the washer that I had. They listed a number of things and their recommendation was to get another washer. American Home Shield picked the model out and I agreed with it. It looked good. From there, Whirlpool scheduled the delivery of the new washing machine. It was delivered on the 10th of October. The machine didn't work, so I called Whirlpool and they picked the place out to have them come up because I registered their machine. They came up and said the washing machine needed a new computer. So, the people are coming up today to put the new computer in and hopefully, that'll take care of the new washing machine.

    When Pro First came out, they were only a couple miles away. I live in Melbourne, Florida and sometimes, the people that come out are from Orlando, which can be an irritant somewhat. The people who are driving the truck normally don't like the 60 or 70-mile they got to drive. But if that's what you got to put up with, that's what you got to put up with. Also, when they're 70 miles away, they don't set speeding records to get over here.
