    The washing machine was not running through the cycle. It was straining to wash and making some weird noise before it got to the spin cycle. It was just holding water. The tech AHS sent changed a lid kit. He said that everything is controlled by that lid. However, the washing machine is still not working correctly so I submitted another claim. They're gonna have to come back out again.

    I had an issue with the oven not starting. I went online and put the claim through. I got an appointment scheduled and the contractor came out. My experience with the tech was good. The only thing that would have made it better was if they had some of the parts with them. They had to order a part, which came really quickly, and they were back by the end of the week. With AHS, it's nice to be able to have service when I need it.

    My heat didn't work. It would click, but it wouldn’t go out to blower. It would try for 15 minutes then stop. The technicians were in my house five days in a row. 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. We've used AHS twice, and every time we've used it, it’s worked. They've dispatched someone within a day or two, and they've been back till the problem's fixed.

    I had to replace a refrigerator down at my house in North Myrtle Beach. When the contractor came out, they could not put the refrigerator in because one of the lines ran underneath the house. I had to call somebody else to get them to put the new refrigerator in. Every time I called American Home Shield, I always got the runaround between them and the service people that they sent out. They were going back and forth. I was always calling them to get an update.

    The first time I had to request for service with Home Shield was for my laundry. We wanted to change the equipment in the laundry, and we brought stuff, but we were not able to put it together because one of the faucets wasn't working. The tech was supposed to remove it, and Home Shield said that it was not covered by the warranty. I didn't expect that, but I cannot blame them. We should have read the contract before. We don't read too much what they give us in the paper, and when something happens, we're shocked. We think that everything is gonna work when we call Home Shield, but the paper says more than what we think in our mind. Apart from that, I like the way stuff works. I had a couple issues before with my plumbing system, and I just called and people came down to work on the issue. They solved the problem and gave us tips to keep it working better.

    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.

    We had a washer that stopped working correctly, and American Home Shield arranged a replacement, which we're still waiting on. We had a weather thing happened here and so our road was closed. But they're replacing it with a similar washer, and it was very easy to deal with. The repair person that came out was really helpful and knew what the problem was right away and was able to diagnose it and get it into the dispatcher. Everything happened pretty quickly from there. But American Home Shield could make more money if they would give you the option to buy a dryer at the same time they're replacing your washer. Because you want to have a matching one, and it seemed a really good opportunity to give me the option to just buy it and have it delivered by the same people.

    The toilet was doing this phantom flushing stuff. A plumber came out and he said it was fixed. He was here five minutes, and he was not really good. He was quite irritated that he was here. I called American Home Shield back and they said that I have to call the plumber back. So I called the plumber back, and the plumber said, “No, you don’t call us back, you call American Home Shield back.” So I called American Home Shield back. American Home Shield said, “Okay. Let me reopen it.”

    I got another plumber. He’s been out here before and he’s really, really good. He said, “This is what I think what’s wrong. I got it fixed.” He left but it didn’t fix it. So I called back and then he came back again, and he said, “I’m just gonna replace the whole inside.” So he really did a very good job. But it should have taken a very short amount of time. It took two months to get resolved and in the meantime, my water bill was $100. My water bill is usually $30 or $40. But the service in the end was good. I had another claim on my refrigerator and the guy walked up and said, “I know exactly the problem with it.” He ordered the parts and he came back a couple of weeks later. There definitely seems to be a delay on parts. But that’s all over right now, so I get that.

    When Hurricane Ian came, I woke up that morning and there was a hole in the ceiling. I went on the website of AHS and submitted a claim. Once I submitted the claim, I got an email that had the name and contact information of the contractors. The tech assessed the situation, then he went outside to see where the water was coming in from, and he sealed it off. He gave me instructions for what to do in case that didn't work. He told me to monitor it when it rains again just to see if what he did fixed that part.

    In general, AHS has been doing good. But when I renewed the home warranty, they said it would be $51 a month and after that, they took the 620 from the credit card that they have, which was for the whole year. I called them and they tried to change it but they changed it to every four months. Also, they took the fees and removed the discount. I complained about it and so far, they haven't answered. Other than that, the first time I called AHS for claim, it was 8pm but they took the order and did everything very well. They sent me a very nice company, too. But when I made the appointment for the air conditioning from the company they provided, they gave me the appointment after one week. However, this depends on how busy they are or if it’s an emergency that they have to fix it right away, or if they need time.

    My hot water heater wasn't holding temperature. I investigated, tried to look at what the cost of me doing it versus hiring AHS because of the deductible, and I decided that it would be cheaper for me just to have them come out. So, I went online and put in my schedule. Most of the time, it takes a few days before the contracting company gets back to me, but in this particular instance, this contractor got back to me the next morning. So, it was great.

    I was also very excited because I live out in a little town in Tennessee, and it's always hard to find a reliable service company. But the tech who came out was very friendly and professional. He tested out both the elements and didn’t try to upsell me anything. He told me that my top element was testing 12 volts, but my bottom was only testing at 9, which meant it was not holding the heat. He said he'd see if he had one in the truck and if he didn't, he was going to get one. He had one in the truck, so he installed it and the whole thing took about an hour.

    Anytime you turn the garbage disposal on, it would shake back and forth so aggressively. You could see that it would start separating itself from the plumber’s putty. So that was when I started doing some research and found out that the home warranty actually does help cover maintenance of the garbage disposal. So I called American Home Shield and made the claim. National Plumbing came out and started looking at it. The garbage disposal was shaking back and forth so much and it was breaking the bearings and causing it to come loose. So it kept separating itself from the sink. The tech ended up replacing the garbage disposal and redoing the bearings.

    National Plumbing was great. I was really impressed. They came out the day after I made the claim. So it was really, really fast. They showed up on time. The tech explained everything to me really well before he did anything. He fixed it very quickly. Even though he had to go buy the parts at the store, he was still there and straight back, and had everything completely done and fixed in less than an hour. So that was really helpful. This was the second claim I've had to make with American Home Shield and it’s been the easiest thing. All the contractors that they've sent out have been wonderful.

    We were turning our heater on for the first time of the year. When the thermostat kicked on and the heater came on, it was making a loud electric buzzing noise and there was some sparking. My wife called in a claim to American Home Shield and said it's with the HVAC heating and air conditioning unit. It got opened up as an air conditioning claim. A technician came and when I described the issue to the technician, he said I needed to call back and make it a heating claim as American Home Shield would need to differentiate. The technician wanted to make sure his paperwork was right. It was just an extra step to go through. If we had called in and said it was a drip from the sink but then he came and said it was an electrical issue, then I get that. But it's HVAC. The central heating and AC is the unit. It's the same thing. You open up the same door to access the same unit.

    It shouldn't be on us to go in and correct that. We're the insured and we pay the policy. It's our responsibility to file the claim and report what's going on. My wife and I aren't technicians. Between American Home Shield that is the administrator of the policy and the technician that is the person servicing the policy, they should be able to sort that out. This was one minor annoyance that shouldn't have been there. But that was quickly resolved and got done. Other than that, everything else was fine. The service was excellent and the technician was very competent and professional.

    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.

He called me when he was on the way. He looked at the garage and I told him what was going on. I went back inside and then he called me about 20 minutes later. I came back outside and he told me that there was loose wiring. He fixed the wires up. He cleaned it up, and he stapled some of them to the wall because whoever installed it, installed all the wires loose and have used the wrong cap.

    JJ Prime Service came out for my oven that wasn't igniting quickly. A bunch of gas would escape into the room before it lit. There was some part the technician had to replace. It's working fine now. However, when I needed to get the oven fixed for something else earlier, JJ Prime couldn't come out for six weeks. I couldn't use the oven. It would turn off before it got hot. I got someone else to come out and fix it. I got approval from American Home Shield, but they made it so difficult to get reimbursed. The technician was not supposed to talk to home warranty companies because it always takes time. But this guy was nice. He did it and was on the phone with American Home Shield for a half an hour. We were fortunate he did it because it was a $700 repair. The only thing I dislike about American Home Shield is how difficult they make it if you need to use an outside vendor.

    The heating element was burnt out on my dryer. I called American Home Shield on a Wednesday and somebody came out within a day, and then he had to order it. He came on a Wednesday morning and he ordered it on Wednesday afternoon because they texted me. Then, they told me it would take three to five business days to get the part in, and then they put it in first thing Tuesday morning. So, they were very efficient. The serviceman was very professional, very polite, very neat, and very clean. He could not have been better. He was an excellent representative for the company. Overall, I liked the fact that, for just $100, AHS will fix almost any appliance I've got.

    It was surprisingly easy when I submitted a claim with AHS for my microwave. Everything was done from my phone. The tech that came out knew exactly what he was doing like he’d done it 100 times before. It only took him a minute.

    I have several companies through American Home Shield that I really liked doing business with. I've found them to be very good and honest. In fact, for my HVAC at my house, I took out an annual maintenance contract with the company that I found through the home warranty company many years ago. So, if I have any type of issue with my HVAC system, I usually call them directly and tell them that I want the company assigned.

    If American Home Shield tells me that it's on hold and the company's not taking any more calls, because they're just too busy, I tell them, "Yeah, they will for me." I call the company and have the company call them. There was also a plumbing company that I found that does exceptional business, and I've done business with them outside of the home warranty company, so I will go through the trouble. Recently, the appliance company that AHS sent out, I'll do the same for them and have recommended it to other people as well.

    American Home Shield has been very good. It's sometimes a little long getting there though. With our dishwasher that was very old, the company recommended that it be replaced because there were no parts available. AHS found a part, which was probably refurbished. The first time our dishwasher was run, it ran all day long. They then replaced it, and I'm getting it this week. I've also had my daughter's washing machine replaced by them. It was a company recommendation again, and they took care of that, as well as my microwave. The first time, they sent GE out to repair my microwave and it did the same malfunction. When the technician had to come back out again, they replaced it.

    Another thing is AHS only warranties their work for 30 days. For example, I had a problem with my garage door opener. They sent a company out, and the company said to me, "You really should replace this." I said, "How much are we talking?" The guy said, "600 and some dollars." I said, "No, let's just go ahead and replace these parts. We'll kick that can down the road a little bit." The same problem happened two months later, so I called the home warranty company and they said, "Nope, sorry, only good for 30 days." I said, "Well, I'll be darned if I'm paying another $125 to have somebody come out and fix the same problem that was repaired two months ago."

    I called the company and said, "Excuse me, but do you stand behind your work?" They said, "30 days." I said, "Thank you," then they said, "Well, do you need help?" I said, "Not from you, because you already answered my question. If you only warranty your work for 30 days, then I'm not doing business with you." I called the company that I've done some work for doors and said, "Hey, need a new garage door." I've learned the lady has American Home Shield, and she said, "Sandy, don't buy this from us. Go through American Home Shield." I told her what happened, and she told me that the part that they replaced absolutely should not have gone bad unless they put a malfunctioning part in there. It was the same thing with the dishwasher and the microwave.

    I may pay on this home warranty year after year, which I normally do without anything being replaced. I'm being honest with AHS by paying my money every month. They should be honest with me, too. They shouldn't put a refurbished part in my stuff, just do what they're supposed to do and fix it right with either a brand-new part, something that's reputable, or replace the appliance.

    I'm cool if they wanna try to fix something, but in just over 30 days, they shouldn't make me pay another $125 service fee for something that was inadequately fixed to begin with. If it was a different problem that presented itself, I get it. That happens. However, the exact same problems presented themselves on two different things. One was the garage door opener, which I ended up biting the bullet, and I went with a company that I trust and paid $700 for a new garage door opener after paying American Home Shield $125 to not fix the problem. That's the only reason I'm giving a 4. Otherwise, I've been with AHS since 2002, and it's not just one property. I usually have multiple, because I have done it for my daughter's as well.

    I started with American Home Shield when I started with Legum's, which was the first HVAC company that I had come out after I bought a home. I had a $75 service fee, but because it was so infrequent, I thought, "Okay. It's probably better to pay a little less a month, consecutively for months, and just go ahead and suck it up." Once I did that though, I started having more calls for service, but that's just the way it is. Overall, I recommend this home warranty to everyone, and I tell people they have to learn to work it. They can't just go online and submit a request and expect to get the person they want. They've got to go through the pain of calling. Although, as of late when I've had to call them, it's not that long of a wait.

    The only other thing that I might add is a lot of the customer service reps that answer the phones have a script. They have a manual that they go by, so if I had to escalate a problem, it's near impossible to do. It used to be that I had a phone number for the supervisory group. If I had a problem, which I wouldn't do that just ordinarily, I had a recourse. However, that's no longer available. Also, if I ask to talk to a supervisor, there's never one available, and they'll say, "Somebody will call you back." That doesn't really happen.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

    I sent in the claim online and then they called me for making a schedule. The contractor was nice and they did their work very great. The tech ordered the part and then he got back. Luckily, he could get back on the same day. So after finishing the other work he had, he came back to finish the furnace because we have baby and it was cold. He thought we really needed to fix it today. That's why I really appreciate it.

    We've used American Home Shield on several different items. The companies they've used have been responsive and fairly quick in most instances. They have very tight control of what they do and don't, which doesn't always fit really well, but I understand that. So, it's worked all okay. Recently, GM Air came out.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The AC people who were contracted through AHS have done a great job. There was an AC issue that my bug man found and my pan was gonna overflow any minute. Because of my schedule, the techs were there the following week. I forgot I needed to put two orders in 'cause I have two units and so I did that quickly when the tech showed up. He was happy to check both of the units. He flushed them and cleaned them.

    I like that with AHS, I have the security of knowing that they'll fix something if my entire unit goes out. Not everybody has $30,000 on hand. The price has gone up and it's now $90 a month which would roughly cost me $1,100 a year. I'm willing to pay that if they cover anything that might happen in my home. But I've called about a leaky shower upstairs and that was not something that they would cover.

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.

    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.

Recently, there was a leak in my kitchen floor. A guy showed up and figured out that there was a clogged drain. He snaked it out. In 20 minutes, he fixed the problem. It was wonderful.

    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.

    American Home Shield’s process of selecting companies that would do the work is questionable because some of these companies, they come out and look at the project, and then they decide if there's something that they can bypass American Home Shield, they would do that. So, that way, they would charge an up fee or a different fee. They would state it to American Home Shield in a particular way that American Home Shield would say they won't cover it. Then they would do the same job that American Home Shield would have covered. They would do it in a different category and that way, they can make more money. Still, having American Home Shield is beneficial as long as their communication is strengthened. So, it’s as if there's a loophole there and that's where the contractors know that they can take advantage of it. Precision Plumbing was really good. They were very honest and they came through. They didn't play games.

    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.

    All Appliances was awesome. They came out when I had a problem with my washer and dryer. They kept calling and made sure everything was okay. They needed to order parts and come back out. Now my dryer is working a lot better. The washer’s been intermittent. The main concern is my other issue on the air conditioner. It took over two months to get it repaired. It happened to be during the over 110-degree weather. Now we're waiting for the city of Pleasanton to come out and inspect the air conditioner. American Home Shield was terrible on follow-up and fixing any issues. In order to get them to do what they were supposed to do, I had to go on the Facebook page of American Home Shield lawsuits to get the phone number of the executive office to get this resolved.

    Everything else that I've had a problem with, American Home Shield did it and sent out someone to do it in a timely manner. I also had a problem with my dryer. We had to replace the drum twice. The first time wasn't any problem, but I don't know what causes it to burn out so fast. The hole in the drum, again, so almost right at a year later had the same problem, and it took a while for the part to come. AHS used Sears this time. And I've had problems with that.

    Perhaps he was still in training because he told me when he came out that he had never seen anything like that. He didn't know anything about that. So, he was googling on YouTube and seeing how to replace it. He put it in and because he just touched it and he heard it running, heard it going, but he didn't look inside. After he had left, the next day, I put a load of clothes in to dry, and the thing seemed like it was going. I've heard over a town next to us here, their dryer had a problem with that. And I said, “Oh, I thank God that it didn't catch on fire, start a fire,” because the motor was going but it wasn't spinning. And you could smell something burning. When I called back and told them the problem, it was rescheduled as another thing, but this guy came out again. And this time he took the part thing loose, and I watched him and noticed he didn't even put half of the screws back where they needed to go.

    So this time, we looked inside. It was turning. But a couple of days later on that night, went to put a load of towels in, it wouldn't spin. And when I took a few of the towels out, and had about four or five of them in there, it would turn but it made a loud noise. So again, I had him to come out again. But this time, I told them to send someone else. They sent a guy that was more seasoned. He came out and took a part, and said the young fellow had put something in backwards. That was why it was turning and it affected the belt. And that's probably what was burning. I said, “Don't tell me you gotta wait another two weeks.” But he happened to have a belt on the truck, and he replaced it. I thank God for that. I've recommended others to AHS. They're good and right on it.

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.

    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.

    On 09/15/2022 I called and the parts were still not at the repair company (All Temp Mechanical). That’s what ALL TEMP MECHANICAL said. The outside temperature was 114 and it had been an extreme hot week. I am still waiting on the parts. On 09/21/2022 I called and I spoke to a representative. They told me the parts were at All Temp Mechanical. I inform him that the company ALL TEMP Mechanical had a suspended license and was not licensed to work in Sacramento. He told me he would send my request up the line to get me reassigned or a service dollar amount okayed for me to get my own company to repair the unit. He said he would call me back. On 09/22/2022 no call back. On 09/23/2022, I called again and they said they would call me. I let them know All Temp Mechanical was not licensed.

    09/29/2022, they still have not called back. My contract is now expired and my service requests and other information has disappeared from the website. 10/03/2022, called again, they have not called back and they still tell me parts are ordered. Again I asked them to change the vendor from All Temp Mechanical since they have a suspended license in Sacramento CA. They said they would and would call me back. 10/04/2022, no call back. 10/09/2022, no call back. Nothing fixed, no answer from suspended license company All Tech Mechanical.

They sent a text ahead of time saying he was on the way. So I knew it had to be him. So I was okay with that. He came on time. He was very polite and helpful. He told me how to prevent the problem again and what to do if it happens again.

    The claim process went very easy. All I had to do was call. But the thing that's confusing to me is that there are three different names that American Home Shield uses. It's billed as one thing and then it's AHS. Then I got a letter from some other name that I had never heard of before. But AHS was in parentheses after it, so I figured out who it was.

And they didn't come within that window. But they came and fixed it without me knowing that they were here. 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.

That is a huge benefit. I will never own a home without having the home warranty company.

    The lavatory and the guest’s bathroom was not draining. It was clogged. I called in the claim and it was cordial, personable, and to the point. I was given the name and the phone number to contact in case there were any problems, or if I had to cancel. But Lindsay has been to my home before so I was very comfortable with them. They unclogged my drain and they ran something through the line.

    My recent claim with American Home Shield for a rekey was okay. That one didn't take too long for the contractor to come do. But a lot of the other requests that we have for AC repair, heater repairs, water heaters, appliances, stuff like that takes forever. And those are bigger concerns for us, because those are with the tenants. 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. A lot of times we end up just having to come out of pocket and fixing it ourselves, because the tenants can't wait. I'm thinking about canceling AHS.

    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.

    There was a piece that was missing in my air conditioner unit, so every time I run it, the water was leaking and caused the insulation in my attic to be soaked through that. It started making a spot like a puddle in my ceiling and one of the bathrooms in my home. It got really out of hand because of the leak. Somebody came and fixed that promptly. They went out and run my air conditioner without that water leaking. The experience was lovely because the guy was knowledgeable about the issue. He was efficient, quick, down-to-earth, and friendly, and that was a plus. I like the service with American Home Shield. I have security and stability. So if anything arises, I have the right people who I know can help me out.

They are trying to charge me almost 400 bucks for something that was supposed to be part of my monthly payment. But I called them and talked to them, and I got it straightened out.

    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.

    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.

    So far, my American Home Shield experience has been good. We had called because our air conditioner stopped working for a couple of hours, and then it started working again. The air was coming out but it was not cool enough. So, the guy checked it. He didn't find anything wrong. The only thing that he thought was maybe there was a power outage. He did a good job. So far, the times that we have called AHS, they send somebody. The only thing was that, like with the dishwasher, they had to order parts several times.

    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've worked with a lot of people in my years in business and these people were the kind of people I would hire.

    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.

    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. I had to talk to one of the customer service reps and whoever it was that I talked to was extremely helpful. It’s been a very good experience with American Home Shield.

    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.

I've also had a septic pump go out and the techs replaced the pump. But I've had four different issues I could fix and whenever I put in a claim, I can't put in three things. If I had a plumbing issue, the plumbers could fix my dishwasher and my spa tub but the system won't allow me to.

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.

    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.

    Service people came on time and checked the AC. They found that there was some sort of belt in there that had broken and the motor had overheated too. They had an extra motor. But for the belt, they had to go get one. They came back and had the AC fixed within an hour. That was a good experience. But the last time I had to use American Home Shield, I didn't like the plumbing company that got sent out. The service person missed his appointments and wouldn't answer his phone. We went almost two weeks without our water heater because he wasn't making his appointments until the company called him and he finally showed up.
