    There was water dripping from the pipes. Our pipes are up in the ceiling of the basement. We have a fully finished basement. So, that was a problem. We had it fixed once. Then another leak appeared somewhere else on the line about a couple of weeks after the first one. The techs who came were young guys. They were very sweet. They were saying that we probably had to replace all of the pipes in our house, which would mean total destruction because everything was bad enough that when they finished, a lot of the ceiling has to be replaced. They were nice guys. With American Home Shield, it's nice to be able to call, and know that you're gonna get somebody out here quickly or quickly as can be. Usually, things happen on Fridays around here. So, we were happy with them.

    I'm starting to become very disappointed with American Home Shield. The first time I dealt with them, I understood the problem. Because of Covid, it was hard to get ahold of the product. I waited until it came but since then, the two times I’ve tried to use them, I still don't have a satisfactory solution. The company here told me one thing and I can see on some parts what they meant but they led me to believe that AHS turned me down as far as what I wanted fixed. It turned out they hadn't even heard from them. I am not satisfied with the service. On this last one, they were timely and I cannot complain about that. They came but they found reasons why they couldn't fix whatever it was. I went back and looked at the paperwork, and I found that they could fix it no matter what or we could come to a solution. But I haven't heard back from the company.

    I noticed there was a moisture spot on one side of the wall. It looked like there was a hole in there. I did have a picture on that wall. So maybe the picture put a hole in that pipe and when the nail was pulled out, it started to leak. The gentleman came out and checked it. He lost his tool and had to come back and check. But other than that, he was great. I still have a hole in my wall and American Home Shield is supposed to have someone to come out and repair it. When the contractor did the repair on the pipe, they said, “Okay, it's gonna be a big bulge in the wall. Or we can redo the whole pipe from top to bottom, but that's gonna cost you $1,300.” I told them, “Okay. So let's just stick with 500.” They said, “Well, whomever you guys send out should be able to shave some of the sheetrock so that it's not so bad.” But I'm kind of worried about it.

    I had a problem with American Home Shield's customer service. The customer service person told me she was in the Philippines. She did not understand what it was that I was trying to ask her. I had to say, “Okay, I am so sorry, but I can't talk to you anymore. Let me speak to one of your supervisors or whatever.” So she said, “Well, I can send you to escalation.” Then when I spoke with the lady in escalations, she understood what I said and gave me the information that I needed. So it was resolved.

    I called American Home Shield for my water heater that was leaking. I was in a rush 'cause I have a special needs person who lives with me, and we can't go without hot water. A repairman came out three days later and looked at it. He said none of the fixtures were up to code. I did a research and to me it seemed everything was up to code. I said, "Alright. Let’s get the estimate and see what they'll cover." American Home Shield would cover the water heater, but they would not cover any of the accessories for it that were said out of code. It would have been $600 out of pocket for them to put the warranty water heater in. We had to make sure our home was permittable (fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide testers, sensors). I didn't understand why the interior of the house needed all that when my hot water heater is in my garage. The repairman said it would be two to three weeks to get the permits to put it on.

    We already went three days with not having a water heater. I can go three days but not three weeks. I went down to Home Depot, bought the same water heater and all the fittings, and everything was fine. I tried to talk to somebody at American Home Shield and asked, "If I send you a receipt, can you reimburse me for the part?" They said, "No. We have to go with what the plumber recommends." The water heater was almost as much money as it was for the out of pocket stuff I would have to had for the plumber to do up the code.

    The air people stressed me. The first one that came out said I need a new unit and submitted it to American Home Shield, who said they could only pay for 2,000. They tried to sell me upgrades so they could do it. What they recommended was 9,000 and something. There was a bunch of stuff they wanted. The cheapest that I could get was 5,000 something, and AHS would pay 2,000 something, so I had to come up with the rest. They had convenient financing available for me. And all I had to do is apply, and I said no. I asked, “Can you fix whatever to be fixed just to get cool within the $2,000?” They said they couldn’t do that.” So, they would take me to the cleaners. I was very upset.

    The guy called me back twice about the finance part. They're making a killing off AHS and they are doing it dishonestly. And AHS has no knowledge of that. If I didn't have prior satisfaction with AHS, I would have dropped them and went to another home insurance company and complained about them to everybody I knew. That's why I thought about it and went, “Tsk. They’re better than this.”

    I was stressed because it was hot. So, I called AHS and said, “Could you send out someone else for a second opinion?” And she said, “Well, if you weren't satisfied.” I said I wasn’t. They sent someone out. That man was honest. He said it would cost AHS $20 to replace the cylinder. That was all that was needed. AHS could easily cover within that 2,000. And my air conditioner is still running cold. The first company tried to snow me, and lied to me.

    AHS needs to screen the people who may be sent out more carefully. Get feedback. Did they report it or not? If they didn't report that they did work, apparently, something's there to break down. Why the customer didn't want to use them. And that's when you get a more accurate picture of what service you're putting out. Because I'm sure AHS sends them to other homes, and some other homes are accepting that work because they’re not knowledgeable themselves about it, so they trust them. And they trusted them out of the item of unnecessary work. And they’re handling their own finances.

    I trusted that AHS would send out a reputable repair person who will not take somebody to the cleaners. When you pick up the phone and call somebody, chances are you will get somebody who will take you to the cleaners. That’s why I like the idea of going through an insurance company, because they’re supposed to screen everyone they send to your home.

    We had a dishwasher in the unit that was leaking. Fridge Worx came out, checked the problem, and ordered a motor. That took three to four weeks. When the motor came, the contractor installed it. At that time, nobody had been occupying the house. Once we occupied the house, we used the dishwasher, and it was leaking still. I tried calling Fridge Worx. I spoke to the one who would come out to the house. I explained what the problem was, and he was surprised. He told me I'd have to call American Home Shield so they could do a re-dispatch.

    I tried calling American Home Shield but got the runaround from multiple reps. They said they could not re-dispatch it because it had been over 30 days. They could not even use the software because the box was grayed out to be able to do that. I tried to explain to them that the house had not been occupied. I called Fridge Worx prior to that 30-day expiration. That was prior to a weekend then it took for them the entire weekend to get back to me. By the time they did and I had called American Home Shield, it had passed the 30-day expiration on the warranty service.

    I was asked whether or not Fridge Worx had checked their repair when they were completed. American Home Shield had talked to Fridge Worx to see if they had checked the repair. But what we noticed was that when we occupied the house, the water was turned off on the valve below, which I had done prior to the repair work being done. I have to question whether they checked their repair or just installed it and left. They said they checked their work. I had no luck getting through the escalation department. They just kept saying the same things over and over again about the expiration period.

    When we had our water heater installed on that same house, the techs were great. But I ended up taking up an ancillary bill that I had to pay directly to the contractor. It was for things like an overpressure vent pipe and a water pan which is required by code, and a couple other little odds and ends, pipes and fittings to do the job correctly. They said that was not covered by American Home Shield, and that was why I had to pay it. I’ve got a couple buddies who are plumbers. When you install a water heater, if you just use the same old components, that’s not doing the job right. American Home Shield does not pay for that so it gets passed on to the customer. That’s an inferior quality job if that’s all they’re paying for and we would have to pay for the extra parts.

    The air conditioning work they contract to do on the other warranty went well. The dishwasher work on that same unit as the AC was a little rocky with the contractor because they weren't quite doing everything they were supposed to do. But eventually, they made it right. American Home Shield dealt with that one as well.

    We called American Home Shield because they were offering a free furnace check before winter came. We just purchased this house because we just moved to Missouri in March and we never had that checked so we had that checked. The collector box was cracked, which had been leaking out carbon monoxide. I had to call AHS back so that I could get Julian's Heating and Air back out so they could replace the part. Initially, I set it up online but the only way I'd be able to get Julian and get his company back out is to call them and tell them that I wanted Tim, the tech, sent back out. Otherwise, you'd go in the queue and they would send whoever's available. We liked Tim so I called AHS back and then, I just paid the deductible over the phone. I would recommend AHS. We had them in Colorado for that house, too, and it's always come in handy, especially when you start having appliances that are getting up there in age.

    We have more than one policy with American Home Shield. In one of those, we have experience for years filing claims for the AC unit not cooling, and they would send out technicians. There had been multiple air conditioner claims on that property address over the last five years, and every time we opened a claim, it was for the same issue. The unit was not cooling. They would come out and they would check it, and they would tell us there was nothing wrong.

    This most recent service is the first time that it's ever been accurately diagnosed, and a fix was put in for it, finally. They identified that there was something wrong, and that is what was fixed and now, the air conditioner is working. The experience was better than usual because at least the issue got resolved. I'm not terribly happy that we've paid multiple service fees related to an issue that should have been identified three years ago, but we are grateful that this last vendor was able to identify the problem and remediate it.

    AHS initially sent Action Plumbing out here and he was rude. He asked why was our water turned off and left without doing anything. When we contacted the other company, Short's Plumbing and Drain Cleaning, their tech immediately knew who we were talking about, so evidently, it's something that he is known for doing. The tech from Short's Plumbing and Drain Cleaning was very professional and I told him that he is the person that I would have wanted to come for all the service calls that I've had since I've been dealing with American Home Shield, from the incident with the air conditioning on down. If every company had the customer service skills that he had, everything would be superb. He told me what the problem was and said that he would submit the report to American Home Shield. And even after submitting the report, he gave me a call back to follow up. Normally, I just get something from AHS but he did that himself.

    He was unable to get the parts though, so he instructed me as to how to get the part without cost by calling the manufacturer. And the part is on its way. All in all, having AHS prevents the overhead cost but I didn't like the incident with the Action Plumbing. When I called to report his behavior, the person that I spoke to on the phone was telling me about how I was going to have to wait until he filed the report. Why do I need to wait for the tech to file a report when they already have my money? Every time you express your displeasure with something at American Home Shield, they want to hear from the company first. Things would be easier if their customer service could be much better.

    The AC unit in the house was not producing cold air. It wasn't really working at all. The gentleman who came out was lovely. He was on time and a good communicator and explained everything. He was very helpful. Apparently, some part that helps produce air or push it through was broken. So, he replaced it and everything's great.

    I did the claim to American Home Shield by phone this time. Sometimes, I do it through the internet. It was a little frustrating because the woman couldn't understand me fully the first time I called. I have two homes that are covered under American Home Shield. I was calling about one home and she set it up for the other home. I caught it before they showed up, but then we had to cancel the transaction because there was a different copay for the other house. So, there was a little bit of a mix-up, but we were able to fix it and it was fine. I've always had a good experience with AHS.

    I couldn't get contractors scheduled when I wanted them to come. But the recent technicians were knowledgeable and thorough. What I had to pay in total was what I would think to be reasonable for any type of insurance. The headache that I would experience when I would have a major system failure, and $925 versus $4,000 is immeasurable. So, the overall experience was good. I would recommend American Home Shield to other individuals who are looking and shopping for homeowner system insurance.

    Initially, I wanted to see if the AC could be hooked up. When the tech came in, he said that the wires were cut and I would have to call to get an electrician to come in to do the wiring. When I had the electrician come in that one day for the kitchen light, he had to fumble around over by the breaker box. He said that it could have been done and it didn't need an electrician. It just needed him to put the wires back together. I wasted $100 there.

    When the guy that did the kitchen light turned the breaker off to do the work, my alarm panel hasn't been on ever since. That was August 3rd. I called him to tell him. He told me I had to call American Home Shield back to get him to come back out to look at it. I said, “Sir, it was working before you came.” I'm not an electrician. I'm not gonna fumble around with all those buttons ‘cause I’m afraid of fire. But he didn’t understand what I was saying. That's another $100 I gotta pay. That's the second time I've had incomplete work done through American Home Shield. I've been thinking about finding another company. I'm spending money for the contractors to come then I end up having to call American Home Shield back. If the contractors don't do the work or they feel like that wasn't for them to do, then they'll tell me to call American Home Shield back to get them out. The last guy who fixed my thermostat was the very first person who ever completed anything. He did a great job. I was pleased with his work.

    I love having the policy because at least I can have somebody that comes and I'm not paying an arm and a leg. I did that before I joined AHS, and it was a lot. With them, their contractors come out and fix the situation regardless if it costs a lot or a little. Recently, there was a leak coming from my sink and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from but it was building up and flooding under my sink in the kitchen. American Home Shield couldn't schedule the contractor right away and it took 5 days but when they came, they came on time. They went and got a part, came right back, and fixed it within an hour.

    Last year, I tried to fire American Home Shield but I ended up getting them back. I gave them one more chance and they did great. My water tank suddenly died. It had water spewing out of it. AHS got the repair guy out here on time. He only took a couple of days and was professional. He didn't have to keep begging them to get me approved to get what I needed done. He told me that I got to pay for the copper piping. I called AHS and the lady said that it was not covered. I was thinking why it was not. There are pipes that have to be connected to the water tank. I had to come out of pocket to pay for the piping, which I hated. Still, the repair guy was very professional and AHS needs to keep him because if I have any plumbing issues, I'm calling him anyway. I would recommend AHS if in the future, they keep working like this.

    Prior to that, I called AHS in reference to a furnace that I had. The incident may have happened on a Friday and over the weekend, furnace people only work during emergency services. If the weather is cold, when it's under a certain temperature, if it's 35 below outside and a person is without heat, that is considered an emergency to me. American Home Shield needs to make sure they have a list of emergency contacts when that's happening. A person shouldn't have to wait three days and go without heat. I had to go out and buy heaters and warmers to my house and it became so bad I felt like they were never going to fix the problem. I was having to purchase a brand-new furnace, when I had that warranty with American Home Shield.

    You can only fix the problem so much. AHS has a way about making sure things are done before they replace a furnace. But it was obvious it needed to be replaced. It was old and going out all the time. There were too many times where I was out without heat and I did not like that. They slacked on that so I cancelled American Home Shield. I got so frustrated that I would have to take a loan out to have my furnace. I'd rather have peace of mind. When I had the warranty, it should have done the job right then and there. I shouldn't have had to wait. Even for somebody to come out, they should have looked a little bit further. They were having a hard time finding techs in the area. I said that they shouldn't offer service if they do not have technicians or the people in the area for that service.

So he said, “I suggest that you tell him that you want to do the buyout thing.” It seemed to be good, except that they never got back to me. He said, “You should be getting a call, saying that this is okay to do and everything.” But I never got a call back from AHS. I had to call them to say, “Okay. What's the next step? What are we doing? This is what I want to do.” But we went through that. And I had already, by that time, gone down and bought the faucets I wanted. And now I'm supposed to send a copy of it.

    There was a crack on one of the ducts in our central air unit. The techs came out the next day, got in and out quickly, and cleaned up their mess. They were great. With a home warranty, I'm able to get someone to come out quickly. Very often, when you're waiting on a manufacturer warranty, they take longer to come out, and they usually don't come prepared.

    The contractor came in and it was one guy. He came in, diagnosed the ac. I've had them for years in California. But I hadn't had them in Nevada. So when I found out they were out there, I contracted them for my heating and air conditioning. And they told me that it couldn't be repaired and I would have to replace it. And I was sick. So, I said, “I'm gonna go on and have a second opinion.” I called American Home Shield, and they sent out their technician and said, “We see you don't have any Freon. For one thing, you don't have any. It’s bone dry.” But they said they didn't cover the Freon. They said I would have to pay for that. So, that was 800. Compared to 11,000, I would take the chance.

    They said they would come back the next day after they put the Freon in and check it again to see if it was leaking. So they put it in, came back the next day, and used their little chemicals device, and said, “It's not leaking.” So they said, “Hey, that's it.” And I was like, “What you mean? Goettl Air Conditioning told me that the AC was no good, and you're telling me all I needed was Freon?” I was so perturbed with them, I discontinued my service with them in Nevada, and California.

    It came across my email American Home Shield was having a special on cleaning your dryer vents. I contracted them to come out for the dryer cleaning services in California. The guy came out Saturday and cleaned it, and showed us how all the lint was going back in and it wasn't venting properly. And the vent that we had on there, he was able to fix it so when the dryer is on, it opens up and the heat comes out instead of going in. And he was very nice, polite, and professional. He did his job. He was very knowledgeable and let us know everything he was doing step by step, and I appreciated that.

    No one else had offered any type of dryer inspections. And it was a special going on, so it was $50 off. But the total came up 100, but it would have been 150 if I hadn't got this special. Even though American Shield did not cover that, but the fact that they had the advertisement made me say, “Well, let me check this out.” He said I should do it once a year. And I was, “Okay. Now I know.”

    In Nevada, I had a plumber that come out. And he said I needed a new garbage disposal. And the microwave oven had quit working. So, the appliance technician came. But I didn't need a new garbage disposal. Sometimes, I let family members or friends go to the condo and they want to go to Vegas, and I let them stay there. And somebody put trash down. The tech took a picture of it and showed it. And they cleaned it. I couldn't believe it. I also didn't need a new microwave oven. It was the socket, because it's built in. So, the tech didn't fix it, but they sent an electrician the next day that fixed it. And that was covered under AHS. So for $100 as opposed to buying another microwave oven or garbage disposal, I was satisfied.

    If I could give AHS negative stars I would! A home warranty is supposed to give assurance that you can quickly, easily, and at minimal cost repair your home with quality contractors. AHS DOES NOT OFFER THAT! They take your money year after year and send subpar contractors who either take forever to get around to providing service OR they do shoddy repairs that you'll end up having to have redone and paid again. Then when you try to dispute with AHS to get the service you've paid for for they give you the run around. When you finally get someone on the phone they are unhelpful and show such a distain for your issues. To get resolution in one case, I had to involve the BBB because they would not even call me back.

    I have been a long time customer and I have HAD IT. I will not renew my contract ever again and I tell all my family and friends not to use them either. Nobody will ever care about your home the way you do. AHS is a prime example; they don't care about you or your house, they just want your money. Take the money you'd spend on a AHS contract and put it in a savings account for home repairs. That way you can find reputable contractor on your own and use the money to pay for work that actually gets done right, the first time.

And they recommended I have it cleaned. Which we did by another company. It worked for 1 hour before it blew the fuse. I left on a 3 month vacation. I came back and it still was blowing fuses. On 08/30/2022 I opened another ticket with them. I paid another $100. This time I asked for another company to come out since I did not trust the last one. The new company came out and said the Compressor was bad and needed replacement. That the issue with the fuses was that the compressor had grounded itself. But I would have to pay $700 out of pocket for the gas. I told them okay do it. On 09/02/2022 They ordered parts around 09/02/2022 and told me the parts were going to be delivered on 09/13/2022. I have been calling almost every day.

I want to know when they're here or when they're going to be here so that I can go out there and see what was the problem, and what they are doing. I want to have that so I know what's going on.

    American Home Shield has been great. I've had different home warranty companies on different houses and American Home Shield is the best so far. Whether it's my primary home or rental property, some of those big ticket items, even with the appliances, the air conditioning, and here with this house, with the pool et cetera, it helps give me some peace of mind knowing that a lot of that stuff is covered. That is a huge benefit. I will never own a home without having the home warranty company. And when I sell a house, I offer to pay for one year for the buyer or when I buy a house, I will request that they put in that one year. And I can see if the company is good or not.

    The service tech called me when they were on their way, and they were here when they told me they were going to be here. Everything went great. The main brain of the stove quit working. The face plate had smashed down so far to where I wanted to use it, it was still usable, but I had to get something and try to go underneath there to control the dials. It's a very old stove. It was there when I bought the house, so I figured that the company wouldn't have been able to find the parts to replace it, but they did. They replaced it.

    As much money as I paid in the last five years to American Home Shield, I said, "Well, I don't see why they wouldn't get me another stove," but it doesn't work out that way. I work in customer service for medical equipment and I know what an issue it is to get parts and supplies. I assumed that it would have been the same thing with household items as well, but I was wrong.

    I've only had to file one claim, which was recently, and everything went with flying colors. I did everything online, and it was very simple. I'm not very technical, so I thought, "Oh, my gosh, I'm gonna have to speak to a robot," but it went much easier than I anticipated. Because of the ease of use and service, I have absolutely no complaints. I would give them a 10 if there was that high of a rating.

    The dryer wouldn't turn on while everything else in my little wash area did. And before that, I always had to use time dry because it didn't seem to dry my clothes on the other setting. The website is so easy to use. American Home Shield sent me the information right away, who was assigned to it. And if I didn't hear from them, this was their number and I could call them. But they called that day. And they came out earlier, but I was in San Francisco so I couldn't be there. So I scheduled it for the following Monday.

    I was surprised when a young lady came out. And she was a service representative. She was wonderful. Not only did she find the problem - which I'm embarrassed to say was the circuit breaker - but she explained that yes, everything else would work because the dryer was not a separate thing. But I told her about the other problems that I was having with it not drying. And she said, “You probably are overloading your dryer.” And she showed me where the sensors were. She said if damp clothes don't make it out far enough so they reached that sensor, it will shut off. So, she was informative and I was impressed.

    Recently we had a pool tech who was really knowledgeable and has good work ethics. American Home Shield is a wonderful thing to have. But where we live, when we call and ask them for help, it takes a long time for them to find someone who is willing to work with AHS. We live in Tallahassee and they had a contractor call us from down south in Tampa. Some of the contractors tell us that they won't work with AHS. I appreciate having AHS but I don't appreciate that they can't find contractors who are willing to do business with them.

    The washing machine stopped running in the middle of the cycle with the tub of water full during the rinse cycle. Then it would do the same thing with the next load. And after a while, it wouldn't do anything in any of the cycles. I submitted a claim with AHS and a tech from AG Appliance Repair came out. He took the thing apart, then he took it apart again. But he said he couldn't fix it, so he left. Then I got a call from AG that they were going to send their specialist and he's scheduled to come on the 25th.

    Our refrigerator would work for two weeks, and I would have to unplug it and plug it back again, because it would stop working. I took it to a local repair guy. He couldn't find anything wrong with it. Probably, becauseI unplugged to take it to him. He would plug it back in and it works. We took it home, and it continued. After six months of living like that, I called American Home Shield. Sure enough, it was covered. So, we made a claim. The tech came in with his equipment. Wife showed him the fridge. Within 30 minutes, he determined that something was wrong, and he said it wasn't repairable.

    The only difference is, which I could have fought a little harder was, all of our appliances are LG and our old fridge was too. But AHS offered a GE replacement. You can't tell the difference, except the logo on the top right. Different logo, stainless steel, same water out front, ice up front. If we ever do sell the home, they're not matching appliances anymore. But it was quick and easy.

    American Home Shield called me the same day I put the claim in for the sink that was leaking. They said they could get somebody out. The repairman was out quickly. I was more impressed with this repairman than any of the other ones that had come out to do services for me. He was knowledgeable and in and out very quickly. He showed me what he fixed. Usually, they'd say, “There was a problem. I fixed it.” Nobody's ever taken the time to say, “This was the issue. I took photos of the before and after so I can show you that I fixed it. You shouldn't have any other problems. If you do, give me a call, I'll come right back out.” My refrigerator messed up three times, and the same contractor kept coming out. I ended up having to get a whole new refrigerator because they never fixed the issue. I've had other experiences with setting up claims and nobody calling me. They were not getting somebody out. But this experience is one of the best I've had in dealing with home warranty.

    I would punch the microwave in like we normally did and it just would not work. So, it came to a point to where I ran out, bought a cheaper model, and put it on the countertop so that we can have something to heat things up. Aside from that, the glass cook top on the stove popped and broke. It's split somewhere between 6 and 12 inches. We called AHS and it was the easiest thing I've ever done in a situation like this. They told us that the claim was assigned to the contractor that they used in our area, then I got a call from them to schedule. I was made aware of the fact that they are licensed and where they were located, then we set a date.

    The guy who came out was very professional and polite. He explained everything to a tee and I was impressed with him in doing that. In fact, I asked him if he sold appliances at his store and he said they were strictly doing repairs only and that I'd have to work that out with AHS. That was very admirable. In the end, AHS stated that we would have to replace everything, so they sent us credits. We've already gone out and purchased the new stove and the new over-the-oven microwave, and we're waiting for it to come and be installed. These people have really stood in the gap for me and I'm very impressed with this home warranty company.

    I like dealing with AHS but I do not like their customer service. They'd gotten better with being able to understand their reps, but you can tell that English is not their primary language. It would be nice to speak to someone that you really knew that they knew what you're talking about. They say that they understand certain things but they really don't. Then you talk to the company, and they get surprised with how they put things in. So, I like the new thing where you instantly get an email and get the information about your claim. I would immediately call the tech and usually, that's when we'll find out that what the reps put in is different from what the problem really is. So, the tech will ask me what's the actual problem and and I tell them. Then they can send somebody out with the correct equipment.

    A little over a year ago, I was going to cancel AHS because they really messed up on deductions. It was right at Christmas and they were taking hundreds of dollars out. They had some kind of glitch in their system and people put in the wrong information. It took a few months to get it straight. I also had a lot of contractors tell me that AHS is a pain in the butt to deal with sometimes, but they pay out.

    Our refrigerator was not working. AHS sent someone here. He tried to fix that, but it wasn't fixed. Even when he was leaving, I told him, “It's not cold. It's like the hot air is inside.” He said, “No, give it a couple of hours.” It was really hot. It was summer. After he told me it was fixed, I bought a lot of groceries, including meat. In the morning, everything was smelly and the fridge was hot. I called them back and told them what happened. They said, “We're gonna send someone who knows in two weeks.” I said, “What are you talking about? I need a refrigerator.” Then they changed it to a week. We finally went and bought a fridge ourselves and replaced that. We just threw away the old one. I called them and I said I bought a new fridge. This whole thing took about a month from the first appointment. It was back and forth. It was a really bad experience.

    For our air conditioning claim, the guy came and said, “This is installed incorrectly. It’s not part of the service. We can’t fix it.” I said, “What are you talking about? We have this air conditioner for 15 years and it’s been working perfectly.” He left. We were, again, back and forth with phone calls. I gave up. So, we hired someone on our own. All they needed to do was there was something with the electricity and they fixed it. It’s been working since.

    A month ago, our microwave broke. This time, I had totally different experience. They sent someone and the guy knew what he was doing. The minute he would turn on the microwave, it would smell really bad. The guy, the minute he checked that, said, “Yeah, this is very dangerous.” He unplugged it and said, “AHS is gonna contact you.” They contacted us and this time was very pleasant. They replaced our microwave.

    I like American Home Shield. I’ve been with them for quite a while. I haven’t myself or know anybody that had any problems with American Home Shield. I always tell people that they should get covered. The coverage pays for itself so I always have it. If I have a problem, one of their contractors come out. They get the problem fixed. This is my second house I own. On my first house, it was the same thing. When the hot water goes out, they come in and fix it. I extended my coverage, and now they cover the roof and some other things. I paid a little more to get more stuff covered. Recently, a repairman came in for the AC unit. The fan wasn’t turning. He changed a switch and was in and out of here in 20 minutes. He got the AC unit working.

    There was no cold air coming out of the AC. I called American Home Shield. They asked me for my account number, and I set it up. When I first did it, my guy did it incorrectly. He said it was a heat pump problem, but the issue was the AC not blowing cold air. They fixed it later.

    Initially, I had some issue but now, American Home Shield has been responsive. It’s not so much AHS but the contractors who are associated with them. When they give the name of the contractor, you read up on the reviews and they are bad. I'm disappointed. They don't return money and all that stuff if they don't do the job. I had a issue and one of the contractors came and stated it was a preexisting condition. The guy said I needed a new air conditioning system. When I complained, somebody else came and it was just a capacitor that was needed. Before I listened to them, the contractor would have charged 10 grand.

    American Home Shield wasn't covering it initially. They said it was a preexisting condition. It turned out not to be one because the contractor was in bed with American Home Shield. When I had the second opinion, the techs came in and did the job. It probably cost them $200 and it wasn't preexisting. It wasn't the issue which the initial contractor had stated. Mostly, the contractors are trying to make money. But not all the time. AHS has some products which they say you can have a free one-time check-up for the heating system, which is a good deal. Overall, it’s a good company and the contractors are the only issue I had. The customer service is good too. They had a text system where you text information. So, I usually deal from there.

    There was something wrong with the air conditioner. The thermostat was going blank repeatedly and shutting off the AC system. So I didn't know whether one was affecting the other so I put in a ticket for that online. American Home Shield came up with Air Boss as the suggested vendor. They’ve come out before and I liked them. I just want to be able to keep using them. So, if ever I go in there and it gives me different vendors, then I will give a call and speak to the rep and request other vendors if possible. Air Boss is good, which is why I keep asking for them no matter what the problem is. They show up on time and come when they say they’re gonna come. They communicate well, diagnose the problems very fast and get the job done. We haven’t had to call back for the same issue ever with them. I'm very happy with them.

    I had an issue with my refrigerator's ice maker. AHS sent a tech out and he replaced a part. A couple of weeks later, the ice maker wasn't making ice. We got a new ice maker and then the part that the ice shoots out of was broken. He ordered both of those parts and put them in. Three weeks later, it started making shaved ice. AHS sent a new tech and he was awesome and prompt. He took it apart and said that the previous tech broke the part when putting it in. He ordered another part and it's been perfect ever since. He was a very nice gentleman.

    I had another tech come for a toilet and he was the same way. He broke the part that he put in and he didn't know that he broke it. So, I paid another $75 and I wasn't very satisfied.

    We had some severely clogged drain lines under the house and we had a late Saturday night that neither one of our toilets were operational. The contractor came out and got it fixed for us that night and they were even kind enough to not charge us the additional after hours, emergency call fee since they had been out previously within the past 30 days on the same issue. So, they did right by us. At first, the guy who came out wasn’t sure if he was going to be able to resolve the issue at nighttime and with the equipment that he had, but he was able to. He was persistent. I usually make a request online and there was one time when I made one for a plumbing issue that it wouldn’t let me do it online for some reason.

    American Home Shield’s service overall is acceptable. But my problem is I was calling them out for the air conditioning unit almost every month and it was not being resolved. The first time, the tech said it was an issue with my filter and that it was filthy. I got another filter but the unit still had the same issue. It's the same exact issue every time and it wasn't until this last time that the guy actually took a chance to take care of everything and looked in detail of really what was going on. The third guy came out on my third call and he said they should’ve offered me a filter off the truck and just charged me for that filter. I ended up paying $375 for something that could have been taken care of at a 125 cost. American Home Shield needs to be more concerned about who their vendors are and if their vendors are truly following through or just doing enough to get that initial check.

A lot of times, they need hot water or they need the stove to work or they need the AC or they need the heater to work, but it takes them way too long to fix it.

    We've been with AHS for over 20 years. The service has been up and down. When we first got with them, we really didn't have any problems. But this year and last year, we've had some bumpy experiences dealing with the air conditioner. This is the first time we had an ugly experience like this, where a company came by and reported wrong information to AHS. We had a receipt from the company that did the work which was All American. AHS acted as though they didn’t believe us. This company had either done some work with somebody else, but it definitely wasn't us. We sent them the receipt so they could see it. It still took them four months to even fix the air conditioner. It was a real mess. It was the worst time we've had an experience with them.

    It was in the summer and it was hot. It felt like they didn't really care about the customer, no matter what. It was really disappointing. We almost dropped them ‘cause that was really an ordeal. Also, a lot of their representatives don't speak English that well. After going through back and forth, we finally got somebody to really recognize and they finally got somebody out to look at the unit. This company said the unit was going and they replaced it.

It's like I just kept trying to use just a little bit of heat on the very lowest setting that I possibly could so that I could get the wrinkles out of the clothes. Sometimes, I can only deal with one thing at a time. So it was like, "Okay. I have to get these other things finished before I can go on to this.” I was so thankful that the tech got that working properly. It took two trips. It took one to come in and look at it and pull things apart and then diagnose it. Then, they came back 10 days later. I was really happy with their service. They kept me informed.

    From the get-go when I contacted American Home Shield via the computer, they contacted us right away to set up an appointment. I was really happy with that, and the guy was right on time. He was very knowledgeable. I was really happy with him. He was very respectful. He called like 10 minutes before he was coming so we could get our dog collared.

    I'm glad I got American Home Shield. It's beneficial to have all my appliances under one umbrella. The only annoying thing to me is that they change contract numbers every year. I have two homes and I try to keep the two accounts separate but every year, they change accounts. It would be nice if they put a letter behind instead and not give the account another number. When I call and I give my number, the reps say, “Oh, that policy has expired.” A lot of times, they don't know the new number. That policy renews each year and they should just keep the same number.

    Also, what they pay for Freon is not even a 10th of what it is. So when things go up, they need to review their policy and make sure the market value of things has improved. They pay $10 a bag for Freon and it's now $300 a bag.

    I had my issues in the past with American Home Shield. Seven years ago, I had a gentleman I called for some plumbing work. The guy came and he was nasty and unprofessional. He threatened me in my own home. At this point, I physically removed him from my house. When I called American Home Shield to tell them to give me a different company, they refused to do it for some reason. Whey said, “We don't really care that you had a personal issue. We'll just make sure the same company sends a different person.” That wasn't the point of it. I wasn't going to allow somebody to come in into my house and disrespect me the way that he did and get away with it. American Home Shield really didn't care about that.

    I also had a few issues where I've had to constantly complain about stuff to get it fixed. There was an issue with a microwave where they delivered the microwave totally unprofessionally. They tossed it at the back door and the box was damaged. Nobody told me it was delivered. Sending the parts to a customer is really new to me and I've never heard of a company doing that. Normally, companies order parts. They come into their own workshop and a guy comes out with the parts and fixes the issue. That doesn't seem to be the way that things are done anymore. That is an issue for me because one of the properties that I have listed with American Home Shield is a rental property.

    I’m debating whether or not I'm going to renew next year even though American Home Shield has gotten better. The prices have gone way up. I called for two toilets in the same unit and they wanted to charge me double. They wanted me to open a ticket for each of those plumbing items even though they're going to send the same company to fix both issues.

    There was another issue at one of my properties. A stove completely died and I went through the process to replace it through American Home Shield. They told me that technicians were going to come out and replace it. They did not send a certified technician of any kind to do the installation. They sent some guy driving a truck with a bunch of appliances in it to do the job. When he got there, he realized that the valve doesn't look the right way. he said he was not going to touch that and that it was not his job. He was nervous to touch it and it was not safe. Instead of having a person that could come and do that at the exact same time, I then had to leave that brand new stove outside on the porch during two snow storms between the time that I got the stove and the time that I was actually able to get it installed.

    It ended up costing me $500 to get the valve fixed when if it was a certified technician that had come out to do the installation, they would have been able to do the job. But American Home Shield didn't care to do that. This home warranty is a good service to have sometimes. But half of the time, it's a real hassle to deal with it. Some of these things take a really long time to get fixed.

    Another major issue is that companies that they're outsourcing the work to are telling customers that it's required for them to use the video diagnosis. Three years ago, we determined that my phone will not do automated stuff. That is a waste of time right off the bat. Instead of sending someone out, the company is gonna call me and tell me to do a video call. When I tell them that I can't do a video call, they say, “All right, well, I can't schedule you this week. I'm gonna have to do it next week.” It's always pushing it back another week. When a guy comes out to do the diagnosis, that's already a week gone by and he now needs to figure out what parts to order. It's going to take another week to get in. We're already on week three or four by the time they actually come out to fix the issue at the endpoint.

    I have three accounts with American Home Shield and those are some of the issues that I have. I called them and they haven't done anything. If the price goes down 20% next year, I'm sure to renew with the home warranty. It's almost six grand in these contracts. There are a couple of other companies that do basically the same thing. If one of my contracts is about to renew, I'm going to call them and get some quotes and see what they're gonna do in terms of price. If somebody can beat out what American Home Shield does, I'll go with them.

    Pride Mechanical was quick and professional. My AC was turning on, but it wasn’t cooling. They came out the same day and relayed what was happening to my AC, then they were able to get it fixed right away. They were good. Besides the AC not cooling though, the technician told me that it needed Freon, but American Home Shield could only cover $10 worth of Freon per gallon. That wasn’t written anywhere on their website. Apart from that, having a home warranty is really helpful financially.

    We purchased a townhome condominium a little over two and a half years ago. The first year we owned it, it came with a prepaid one-year warranty that the previous owners had purchased through American Home Shield. When that expired, I decided I would take it on myself because we had a couple of issues that we found throughout the first year, and American Home Shield was very responsive. We were fairly happy with it so I stayed with it. When I put in a work request, I get a response quickly. The workmanship of some of the vendors had left a lot to be desired so I have had to call back a couple of times. Largely, my issues were addressed. In one case, after two times with this one particular vendor, I told American Home Shield not to send that same person out, and they didn't. They sent someone else and they fixed the problem.

    American Home Shield has saved us some headaches though the reverse is also true because each time I do a service call, I have to pay a fee. This last issue I had, it was just a matter of turning a screw so I felt like an idiot. There I was, paying this money out and somebody showed up. In 30 seconds, they fixed it with the turning of a screw.

    The water never stopped when we would flush the toilet. So, I called AHS. The tech fixed it and it works very well now. The guy did an excellent job. The other thing I had was the water from the sink that didn't come well. When the tech came, he unscrewed something, then he had the water coming very well. AHS is a very honest company. I heard a story of a home insurance company that just disappear after they take your money or they give you all kinds of headaches to come and fix problems. But I have never had issues with AHS. I had them in my previous home before coming here, and over there, it was the same thing. I love them.

    American Home Shield is straightforward and they cover things. When I got them, they said, “Yes. We do cover leaks and the water heater.” Also, the repairmen have always been good. They've done their job. The HVAC has a water condensation pipe and it was leaking all the time, so I had to put poles underneath the air conditioning unit to stop the water from spreading all over the floor. I knew I need to go into the unit itself to replumb it so it wouldn’t leak anymore. So, I asked the fellow to take a look. He said, "Yup. I’ll go get the parts that I need. I’ll redo it. I can see it leaking all over the floor.” They got the unit working correctly. In this case, they stopped it from leaking all over the floor. I would catch all kinds of buckets of water underneath because the leak started from the condensation pipe so it leaked all over the floor. I go in there and I see a dry floor, and I don’t have to worry about it.

    Our AC wasn't working, and the tech fixed it within 10 minutes of being here. I watched him do it. One of the pipes was clogged, and he didn't have a stick to go with it. So, I went and got my own bathroom snake and he just unclogged it for me. He explained to me that maybe some condensation got in the unit and was cutting it off because it would come on for 10 minutes then shut off. It would cut on and off for days, and I thought, "This is crazy," because it's a new unit. After he snaked it, it started right up, and it's been running ever since. It's perfect.

    I had some issues with my dishwasher and microwave and my washer. I made a claim online to American Home Shield, paid the deductible and they sent a third company out. The company never dispatched anyone so after five days, I called them and they scheduled someone to come out immediately. They were able to fix the washer. They ordered a part for the dishwasher, which needed a control panel but my microwave wasn't covered under warranty because it was a countertop microwave. I called them back to get someone and asked how much it would be out of pocket but no one followed back up with that, so the microwave is still just sitting. I wish someone would call me back to see if I can get that resolved. It's a $500 microwave, so I wish I can get it fixed. I gotta get a new microwave, it's fine. I just wish that I knew that a $500 microwave wasn't covered under the warranty.

    When I made a claim, the man changed it from my regular stuff to a new policy. I kept calling in for a whole month and American Home Shield said I couldn't use the policy even though I've been with them for over two years. That's where it falls into the wrong place when it comes to trying to make a claim. There was an older man to start with. But a younger guy took over. Then, I called again and it went about three months. Again, AHS tried to claim I did not have a policy with them. When the electrician came out, he said that they said I only had insurance with them for a month. I said that's not true. But it's fine. It was just that one mess up. I'm having problems with the electrician though. He already came out, but he said he was waiting for stuff to come in. And I hadn't heard anything. But when I had a plumbing issue, the plumber got out here fast. He was nice and replaced the pipe in no time.

    The garage door would go up, but it wouldn’t go back down. We had to hold the button from the garage to get it to go down.

So, the gentleman had to come and it turned out that there was a damaged wire by one of the sensors, and that was part of the problem. The garage door openers all had to be reprogrammed. The tech had to change the wheels. The repair to get the door to go up and down, to fix the openers, and to reprogram the openers were covered.

    The air conditioning was not cooling and the compressor was not running outside. I sent a request for American Home Shield at 10:00 AM and the Prime Heating and Air technician called me at 11:00. He came out that same day and was out by 1:00. He said the capacitor on the unit outside had failed. He replaced the capacitor and the unit was back up and running. But later that evening, the house was still warm so my wife called the tech. The tech said it’s 100 degrees outside and the unit is gonna have a hard time. With the size of the AC unit we have for the size of our house, it's gonna be the best it can do.

    The program with American Home Shield has been amazing. So far, they've replaced the microwave three times, the dishwasher once, the oven once, and the air conditioning system and the compressor unit outside once. They've repaired the fridge and I had them out there two weeks ago to take care of a faucet that was broken. The $500 a year that I pay is next to nothing compared to what they’ve covered in the four years that I've had them.
