    I had to have a dryer door fixed and my oven door fixed as well. I was able to set up the claim online and I even authorized my deductible to be taken out of my account online. American Home Shield contacted me immediately with dates for the services. The parts were ordered for the dryer and shipped to my address. As soon as they were there, a tech came back out and did the work. With the stove, it was maybe three weeks before the parts came. A tech came right back out and did the work.

    I've been satisfied with my service so far. The benefit of having my home warranty is I don't have to spend a lot of money replacing appliances when I can just get them fixed if they're still fixable. I would definitely suggest that anyone that has purchased a home have a home warranty and I would recommend American Home Shield.

    I love American Home Shield. I just spoke with Mariah today, and I sent her the email with the voicemail message about the guy from Virtual Sears that I had a problem with. His name was Richard. He had me do a diagnostic on January 31st. I voice memo-ed it, and I told him the guy was coming on Friday the 4th. He didn’t want that. He wanted the guy to come on the 16th. I said, “No, I’ve been waiting already a couple of weeks.” The guy got here on the 4th, and he said there was no work order. Richard didn't put anything that was wrong with my washer. So, the guy wouldn't have the part. I had to wait until the 16th to get my washer fixed. So, it was almost six weeks because of Sears Virtual Tech.

    Then the guy finally called me and had me diagnose it and told me what to press on the washer. It said it was the thing that makes it wash at the bottom, and all he had to do was say that was what was wrong. He refused to do that. I have him on recording arguing with me. “No, I’ll just make it so that the guy can come out on the 16th.” I said, “He’s scheduled to come out Friday. Why do I need to wait till the 16th?” “Because he’s not gonna have the part.” I said, “If you tell him what’s wrong with it, he will.” He wouldn’t tell him what was wrong. He refused. As far as American Home Shield, I've dealt with them several times and there has never been an issue with them. I can just go online, and I can say what's wrong with my appliance. I'll pay the $75, and they’ll assign somebody to come out, which they've done twice. Those people were great.

    I called American Home Shield for my refrigerator. The water spout was getting stuck. The dishwasher was leaking, too. All Home came out right away and was able to fix it. They gave me some tips on how to maintain it better. They were great. I still have an open ticket with All Home for 30 days. They left it open because they gave me a 30-day guarantee. My refrigerator's spout got stuck again the other day. So, I’m waiting to see if it continues, then I'm gonna have to call them back.

    When I called AHS like I normally do, I got a representative. I told them what my problem was, and they assigned me the vendor. Then I got their phone number. I got my claim number so that I can have it. I like to call because I like to have my claim number in case there are any problems. As far as the representatives, I've never had any problems with any of them. They've always been very pleasant.

    I had the worst experience ever! Zero stars to this company. I grandfathered this contract from the seller of the house. The customer service is clueless and unexperienced. They talk like robots and don't really care what you are trying to say.. Nothing is covered by the contract as it was promised when they were selling their contract. I called 50 times to get my official cancellation letter and still did not get it. It is a joke company. Simple drain pipe leak was not covered by my contract. Please don't waste your money and never have business with AHS.

    The drain of my kitchen sink didn't work. The garbage disposal froze. A fellow came out and was very pleasant. He fixed the garbage disposal. There was a jam and he undid it. But he did not use a snake 'cause that would be more aggressive he said. We need to take it to the next level because it's still problematic. Water's backing up on the side where the disposal is. There is a flow. If I turn the garbage disposal on, the water goes away quickly. But I have to cajole it and do all these little tricks and that's not how it's supposed to be.

    I also have a refrigerator claim with AHS and it has been a nightmare. Early January, it started getting warmer in there and come to find out it needed three different parts. The refrigerant was leaking. They didn't have the parts and it was almost 60 days. After three weeks, the guy came back. He didn't have parts to solve my problem. They still haven't taken care of me. The fellow for the dishwasher was very pleasant. But the appointment thing, he came late and he had nothing to offer. I said, "Why are you even here? You don't have the parts."

    In the past year and a half, from owning our house, we had a plumbing issue at the beginning, the garbage disposal, and the furnace most recently. However, we have to pay the co-pay before the appointment is even made. The first time we had an issue a year ago, it was a plumbing thing. So, it needed to be done right then. It ended up working out fine, but it was, "Wait, I have to spend $100 and then get a call from the plumber? What if the plumber can't come out right away and I have to find somebody else?" I want to know that plumber can come out before I drop $100. So, if the contractor could at least make the appointment before I have to drop $100.

    Our garbage disposal had a small hole in it and instead of just repairing it, American Home Shield replaced the whole thing for free. We said, "We want the garbage disposal that's got a little extra oomph." They said, "That's fine. It's just the difference between the standard one and the nicer one. So, whoever the service provider is, just pay us the extra 50 bucks or whatever and you get the suped-up one." Recently, I called the tech and he flipped the switch and it was something that I had done three times. For some reason, I couldn't get it to work but he did. He was nice and he ended up cleaning our furnace for us because he didn't have to do anything.

    I like being able to schedule it online because I don't have to wait for business hours. I don't have to wait to get transferred to the right department to talk to the right person and listen to an automated operator. It’s just a nice quick click online and then, the service tech reaches out to you. I love that about it. No matter what time of the day it is, I can schedule an appointment. I had a claim for the hot water heater where the thermocouple had gone out. I was in the hospital at the time and I was able to schedule an appointment right there from my hospital bed. Then, the guy called us the very next morning. He came out and fixed it right away. He was so nice and it felt like we had known him for years, which is always nice because I'm a talker.

    Another claim was for a plumbing issue and it went really well. The person that was assigned to the job called me first thing in the morning the next day and got a rundown of what was going on. I explained to him the issues and he knew what it was. He said his company doesn't deal with it but that Simply Plumbing, a company that he's affiliated with, does. He gave them a call and they were out within the next few days and fixed it.

    The last couple of things American Home Shield did, I've been happy with them. I had a microwave repaired a year ago. A month ago, a circulation pump on the hot water heater. It was a smooth process. The technician from the company was excellent. He came and got all the information he needed, got the approval from American Home Shield, and ordered the parts. He came back a few days later once the parts were in, and fixed the issue. AHS is a huge benefit. It's stuff that you probably take for granted every day. And when it breaks, you just go out and buy it. But with their coverage, a lot of that stuff is covered. So it’s convenient just to call them and pay the service fee, and let somebody either come out and fix it or replace it.

    American Home Shield’s customer support has been good so far. Like any claim situation, you have to be patient if you have issues. The microwave oven that we have is an LG and it has an attachment that is an exhaust fan. The exhaust fan was working but it slides in and out, and it wouldn't remain retracted anymore. A switch wore out. Passion Service came out, observed the situation and ordered the part. Then, they came out a few days ago and installed that part, and it got repaired. I have been dealing with this for a few months American Home Shield and Passion were fantastic and very professional.

    I submit my claims online and AHS takes your service fee for you right there before you can do everything. So it makes it easy. The warranty is really good to have for safety reasons and to not kill the bank whenever things start to hit you, especially for a home that’s been 10 years. But sometimes their plumbing people maybe should be a little more thorough on their inspections. Three months ago, we had one toilet inside the master bathroom that kept turning itself on and adding water to the base through the night, even though we weren’t flushing the toilet. We called primarily on the one downstairs, in the half bath and they were able to fix that. But they had have a follow-up visit because they didn't level the toilet. That was the first reason to bring them back. I had to spend another 100 bucks and they changed the hardware on the toilet. But the problem persisted.

    We called within 30 days and they came back out. They sent a supervisor who said “Oh, yeah. The toilet needs to be replaced. We've already switched everything we can. It’s still doing it.” He went outside and did pressure checks to make sure I don't have too much pressure on the pipes or in the water to make their equipment hardware that they installed fail which wasn't the case. The supervisor also said, "Okay, you've got a Kohler. AHS will probably not gonna give you a Kohler. But they’re gonna give you one that’s similar in height and width". So, they had to order the toilet and all this good stuff and they came out again with the toilet with them.

    One guy assembled the base into the bowl of the new unit in the driveway and the other guy went upstairs and started carrying stuff out. My wife saw the new toilet and she goes, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is the new toilet?” And they said, “Yeah.” It was like a kid's toilet which was so small and short. It wasn't comparable to the toilet that we had as far as dimensions, which was promised by the supervisor. They were ready to mount it and my wife was upset about it and she said, “Take it back. Put the other one back on.” And then the guy goes, “Well, I can't put the other one back on. Your flange is corroded. We have to change out the flange and you've got some issues.” We asked, “Well, how much is it?” He goes, “I know American Home Shield won't cover that.” They wanted to charge us $800 something. So we said, “No, let's put the toilet back on there. Don't hook it up. We're gonna call Home Shield, see what they can do.”

    AHS said, “We can give you a second opinion.” and they got another company to come out. They said the same stuff and that they were gonna charge me $900. That tech goes, “Why are you changing your toilet to begin with?” And we explained it to him. And he said, “This toilet is fine. The reason that it was doing that is because it was a little lifted." I talked to Home Shield, their supervisor and the second opinion people. The lady sound like she wanted to do everything she could to help me out. But ultimately, they did not resolve my problem. So I ended up having to do all this flanging exchange and stuff like that myself. It was a $20 part. But the plumbers are racketeers and they want to charge $900 to do something that was 20 bucks in parts. AHS needs to be more selective with their contractors.

    Other than that, the guy from Appliance 911, Bobby, was very good. He serviced a refrigerator for me as well.

    The home inspector noticed the calcified stuff that was on the pipe above my hot water heater that leads to the thermal expansion tank. He pointed out that the shower handle was very loose in my master bathroom. I also had the showerhead not spraying through all the jets. I placed that call originally end of December. The contractor came out the 7th of January. I was out of town, so my wife was the one at the house. They didn't do anything to the showerhead. Also, they said that the hot water heater wasn't leaking and that the shower handle, they needed to see if they could even get it from Kohler, but didn't know if it would be covered.

    I had to call American Home Shield, have them do the recall. Throughout this process, I called I don't know how many times. Because the contractor made it clear they don't answer. They don't read AHS' emails. So I had to force the agents on AHS' end to call multiple times so we could make sure that we got ahold of them. Because they would call and say, "Oh, no, we left them a message, nobody answered." And I knew it was during business hours, so finally, I asked the agent, "Can you please try again, because they're saying they don't answer your emails." They recalled the whole order.

    The contractor came back out. They claimed the connection between the hot water heater and the pipe that showed visibility of leak, but didn't replace anything. They just cleaned off the calcified water stuff and put some new tape over it. The guy told me he took care of the showerhead but it's still not spraying through all the jets. They reported that the set screw in the shower handle is stripped, therefore, AHS wouldn't cover it and that I needed to call AHS.

    My issue with this is that this vendor has been to my house multiple times via AHS. And I was put in the middle, that one told me to call the other. AHS said it's their problem, NW Sundance said AHS. But the problem is they replaced the button which is all part of the same assembly as that shower handle back in late 2019. They are the only ones that have done any work to that. So if the screw was stripped, they stripped it. But I couldn't ever get their office manager to get on the phone with me. I left her messages and messages and they always said, "Oh, she's busy. She'll call you." But at the end of the day, I couldn't get AHS to advocate for me. They wouldn't stand behind their work. And I ended up having to hire my own person to fix the handle. I paid for the whole assembly and I just had it replaced. And I'll cancel my AHS as a result.

    Somebody said he was a supervisor for AHS on their call center. Told me that what I said was inconsequential, that I could either take the payout from AHS to hire my own contractor or I could pay the contractor $700 to do the work that they wanted to do, which was come in, cut off the handle and replace it and the shower cartridge behind it.

    I tried to call back I don't know how many times on that same day. Every time I would explain the situation to the next rep, when they would put me on hold, the call would disconnect. And they kept telling me, "We're having problems with my phone system." I said, "Well, can you take my phone number down and call me if we get disconnected?" Because every time I go through the whole scenario and explain what happened, we get disconnected before we could start talking about it again. I tried to escalate to a supervisor and they said, "I'm sorry, our policy is that we can't make the outbound calls." So I got nowhere. They need a better phone system. What ended up happening was I said, "You know what? My time is worth more than this."

    AHS sent me an email, which was that option of, "You can either pay NW Sundance the $700 to go on there and complete the work or you can take $82", which is what AHS offered me for something that cost me $600 to have somebody come out and replace the shower, handle, and water cartridge. My showerhead still doesn't blow all the water out. Just very poor. So, for a $75 service call, I essentially got nothing out of it. I'm gonna get $82 back to cover a part of my 600 and some dollar bill that I have from somebody that I trusted instead of this NW Sundance. It's horrible. I've never seen something so poor where I couldn't get the contractor. I'm going to get on every forum I can online and blow out AHS and NW Sundance. Because of the service that I got from this vendor that wouldn't even get on the phone, and AHS, the way I was talked to by a supervisor.

    American Home Shield didn't stand behind the warranty. The issue was a defective gas valve and they claimed that since I didn't have a particle trap in front of the valve, it failed. It's 22 years old and back when this unit was installed, that wasn't a requirement. Unless the client maintains current code requirements, AHS can walk away from them, which they did. It cost me $990 out of pocket to get this corrected.

    But Starlight HVAC did a good job and the technician, Sebastian, has been excellent. A day after the valve was installed, I had a problem and I reset the breaker. It worked until about five days ago. It failed again and then twice, a couple of days after that. It wasn't working properly. They came back out and honored their warranty on their work and did some adjustments. It worked fine for a day and a half and then, last night at 2:45 in the morning, it wasn't working. I have a callback and I'm sure they'll respond.

    Other than that, I see where AHS is coming from as far as denying to cover anything. And I've had people called out on a couple of occasions and all of the contractors have been very good. AHS engages good, solid professionals. But I'm reading my contract very carefully to see if there's any other way that they're not going to cover any other appliances. If it isn't worth the money, I will cancel it. Also, they said they were going to send me a letter of denial after I finally contacted them but I never received that letter. I don't have any official documentation that it was denied. I just went by what I was told through Starlight.

    Their customer service reps have always helped me out when it came to different situations. They gave the video to help me out as well. They’d ask me to go through the videos or they’ll go through it with me. Then when the technician would come out, they would show me different things. I recently had a claim for my heating and Harbor Air Services came out. It was kind of great how they did it. They called me the day before I left for Cancun and the rep got my daughter and my boyfriend's information. The day I flew, she contacted both of them to let them know that the tech was on his way. The tech got everything taken care of and then they texted me when I was in Cancun that everything was taken care of, which was outstanding.

    The outlet on the outside of my home wasn't functioning properly. I went online and put in the description and the claim on exactly what was needed and submitted it. It was extremely easy and straight to the point, and everything was processed really quickly. Within less than 24 hours, I got a call back with a scheduled appointment.

    I absolutely loved the contractor that came in. He was ahead of schedule and I wasn't home at the time, so he waited for me to arrive. He was nice, knowledgeable, made me feel comfortable, and was one of the best ones that I've had come out here in a while. When he came out, nothing was working, then when he left, everything was properly working. As he was fixing and checking everything out, he was giving me details and walking me step-by-step in my language. That way, I understood, instead of electrical language, which I would not understand.

    Overall, I've been happy with my home warranty. However, there are a few things that could be potentially changed, which are not very big. The most irritating thing that I've had to deal with Home Shield would be when your payment isn't processed one day, the very next day, they're already calling for payment. As a mother, you sometimes know you have to do it, but to have somebody call you the very next day, it's like, "Can you get off my back a little bit? It's not even been 24 hours."

    The heating coil on our hot water heater went out and they took care of it. Also recently, our furnace had a servicing problem. Having a home warranty has saved us money on various things. But getting rid of some of the fine print and just outlining what's covered could be better. Most homeowners aren't gonna read a 17-page disclosure of what's covered and what's not.

    From my understanding, when I submit a claim, there is a $100 service charge, and then the warranty company takes care of the rest of it, which will save me money in the long run based on what it is. But if I know the problem is not covered, then I can skip the middle guy and go straight to whoever I need to talk to with regards to it.

One of the springs snapped from where it was hooked up around the near side of it. Apparently, it's a common issue. I had a fabulous experience with Garage Door Corporation. The gentleman was incredibly efficient and professional, gave the reason of why it happened and what to look for in the future and other options to prevent the same thing from happening. He was here for 30 minutes and the repair was very fast. It was almost an equal amount of time of moving vehicles to give him space to work and going through.

    The gentleman was very kind and showed everything for us. He brought the point such as we got two motors and three remotes. He said there probably was a fourth remote somewhere and if we wanted him to clear everything. In case they still have a remote, they won't be able to come through.

It was still less expensive than hiring a plumber to do it. I had the home warranty when I first purchased the house. When we first moved in, we had all old appliances, and they replaced every single one of them, not batting an eye. It was awesome. After the home warranty lapsed, about five months later, my washing machine broke down. They would have covered it if I would have only renewed.

    I've got four properties with AHS. They have always had decent service and good prices on the coverage. In one of my properties, there were three rooms that were not having electrical service to the outlets. The electrician went out there and was very friendly, professional, resolved the issue, and then took care of it. But I also had a water heater issue, which was my very first claim with that particular unit. The water heater went out and stopped delivering hot water. The contractor AHS engaged with was extremely unprofessional, caused some damage to the unit itself, refused to fix the problem, and was cursing out my tenant. I had a very foul and bad experience with them and I submitted a Better Business Bureau complaint because of them.

    I expect AHS to have qualified people that have vetted people to advocate on my behalf because that's what I'm paying them for. When AHS engages with a contractor that provides poor service, horrible interactions, and I come back to AHS and I try to explain that and let them know, and they tell me, "You need to let them in there to repair the problem," instead of sending out somebody else out, they put me in a very precarious position, especially when I have a tenant involved in the situation with the house because they were also berated and belittled by this contractor.

    AHS turned a deaf ear towards my complaint. Even though it's 100% the contractor's fault in what they did, ultimately, because AHS engages with them and contracted for them to become the service provider, it's really AHS's responsibility to make sure they complete their job satisfactorily and have good interactions. Otherwise, AHS should terminate their contracts with them.

I have been with different companies, and although AHS' service fee is higher than almost all of them in the market, it's well worth it.

    So far, great. The people that came out to correct our heater did a great job. The repairman knew what he was doing and was very persistent. He wouldn't stop until he figured out what the problem was. They replaced the part and the heat is working great now. Everything is what we wanted and expected.

    The faucet in the tub was broken and we had a leaking hookup for our washer and dryer. It was normal wear and tear on the faucet so it wasn't covered. While the technician was checking the washer and dryer hookup, my husband immediately bought a new faucet and the technician installed it for us at no charge before he left. For the hookup, we're still waiting for everything to be approved so that it can be released. AHS has been super easy to use. The fact that I can just plug it in my address and it automatically goes through is very convenient.

    I'm delighted to have American Home Shield, but because of the nature of that insurance company, the service I get isn't as fast as I would like. I wish it were a little more rapid. They will assign a contractor for a problem covered by them, and a vendor or contractor often gets in touch, but is unable to address the problem for days and sometimes a week. Also, I'm in LA County. American Home Shield is going to work with vendors that are appropriate for its cost structure, and sometimes, these contractors are very far away because this is a huge county. That's a factor too, but I'm not complaining. The job gets done, and I'm grateful for that.

    Home Shield is a ripoff and they are the worst company in the world. I have open things with them but they never paid out for them. No one ever calls back. It's a circus. When the tech came to my house, he said that the motor was covered and that I had a cool coverage. But if you’re reading the fine print online, 156 only covers the main motor and not the pump motor and the spa motor. My pool all one unit. The tech ended up walking out of here with an extra 400 bucks for a $100 motor. The whole thing was unbelievable.

    When I called a couple of years back to have my hot water heater fixed, a guy showed up here and he didn’t have tools. I took the unit apart for him. They then ordered the wrong one and I was out 12 days without hot water. Finally, the tech came back with the right one, installed it and said that in order to get the install done, they would have to bring it up the code. But the thing is up to code. The tech said, “No, we need this. We need to vent it out.” I said, “I'm a contractor. You barked up the wrong tree. Just get it installed.” He goes, “I'm sorry. Normally this works. We do this on 80% of the calls. We just upcharge people and tell them they need this and that. Because Home Shield doesn’t pay. They don't pay us enough.”

    The tech guy said, “The only reason why we work for Home Shield is because we get steady calls. We could pad our bills and stuff and get paid.” As a customer, I was thinking that was what they did all the time. It's true because Home Shield never wants to cover anything. I called Home Shield and talked to a supervisor. They never even got back to me and never said anything. This will be my last time with Home Shield and I'm switching to a different company. Don't ever get this home warranty and read the fine print. You get screwed every time. I’m requesting a call from upper level management. Maybe they could turn me around.

So I called American Home Shield to request them to change it to another contractor, and they never did. They argued with me and finally got another contractor. Long story short, it took me a month to get my dryer fixed when they simply could have contacted another contractor that day when this guy failed to show up.

    I like the service and I recommended American Home Shield to friends and colleagues. There was an issue with the AC and their contractor came out and repaired that. However, if an individual is filing a claim on the same appliance, they shouldn't have to pay a deposit for a technician to come out and look at that same appliance. The same appliances keep breaking down, and I have to call back, pay the deposit, and they'll come out and fix it. For my dishwasher, they've been out a total of five times. This last time, the gentleman said he got it fixed. It shouldn't have any more issues but that's what I've been told before. For my refrigerator, I'm waiting on somebody to come back out. But it had the same issues and American Home Shield had somebody come out almost four times. For my microwave, they had to come out several times for that. The tech assessed the microwave and said instead of them keeping coming out, he was gonna have American Home Shield them send me a new one, and they did.

    The repair guy fixed the toilet and then looked at the bathtub faucet. We couldn't see anything wrong with the faucet but he said that the claim can still be open for 60 days. If it happens again, then he will come out and check it out again to see if it works or not because it is still doing the same thing that it was doing before. It’ll happen when you want someone to look at something. But when they're gone, then it does it again. It's the guest bathroom and I'm not sure how the guests were pulling the knob out. The repair guy showed me that there is a release thing on top of where the water sprays out to take a shower and that if the guests don't pull it hard enough, then it won't convert to the shower versus the bathtub. So, we'll see if it does it again. The guy was nice and very informative, and I was happy with his professionalism.

    When you do the claim online or even when you talk to somebody on the phone, American Home Shield doesn't exactly tell you what is covered and what is not covered. For instance, when I had somebody come out for my garage door because it says garage door repair, the issue was not covered. The only thing that was covered was the garage door motor, not any parts of the garage or the garage itself pertaining to the motor pulling it up or not. The track was bent out and the wheels kept popping out. So, that was not covered. So, if my motor went out, then it would be covered. AHS should explain exactly what is covered before people pay the extra $100 or whatever plan they have and explain to that person that this is not covered so they don't waste their time and somebody else's time and the money.

    I've been waiting on my washer to get fixed since December. It took over two weeks to even get the repair company out to look at it and then they said they needed a part. So since December, I've been waiting on the appliance repairman to come back with the part. Before, American Home shield used to send a local repair company and they were usually here within a couple of days. Also, the tech usually has parts on his truck. So I don't know why American Home Shield sent out somebody who's out of town and who can't come for a week or two when there are plenty of appliance repair people here in Bakersfield. When American Home Shield says they will call me back and they'll check with the repair company, they don't call back so I have to call them. The same thing happens with the repair company. At one point, I sat on hold for two hours, to the point where I forgot I was on hold.

    This is the fourth service call for my washer since I’ve had American Home Shield. So with what they paid on the appliance repairmen, they could have just replaced the washer by now. Also, they should send the same appliance place so the history will be there to where the repairman will be like, “You know what, I've been out here three times. I'm gonna put in a recommendation to have it replaced.”

    I went shopping for a washer this past weekend, just looking at the pricing. So I called American Home Shield and I asked them, “If I buy a new washer, can I get my service fee back?” They said, “No, that's not refundable. You have to just wait for the repair people to come back to finish.” I told them that it's taking too long and I have a family of five. It's not convenient for us to go somewhere else to do laundry. The reps were always really nice, but they said, “No, I'm sorry, but they already came out today. No, so we can't give the service fee back.”

    I called American Home Shield the other day because I noticed my dishwasher was leaking at the bottom. I told them that since I still got this service request open for the washer, can I add to it? Because the repair company is coming back next week to finish the washer. But the rep said no because I didn't add it when they first came for the washer.

    Our HVAC system had some leaks and we couldn't figure out where it was coming from. It took probably a week and a half for the tech to come out and make the repair. Then, there was a second leak and they came back and fixed it. I have a second claim that I'm having issues with that is regarding my hot water heater and it's been an issue for almost a month and it still has not been repaired. So, I am doubting that I will continue with American Home Shield. We had initial people come out and they told us that they had to replace the igniter. I told them that the igniter is not the problem. It’s the hot water heater not able to heat the water in a consistent fashion. You take a five-minute shower and when you start, you have hot water. When you're done, you have cold water.

    The techs said they had to follow certain protocols. They replaced the igniter switch, and I called them back and said that I was still having the same problems. I have hot water but I can't fill a bathtub. I can't take a shower that lasts longer than four minutes without having no hot water. They came back and said that I needed my hot water heater replaced. Then, American Home Shield told me that more than half of what it would cost to replace that hot water heater is not covered. So, I have to pay for all of these additional charges, which is close to $800. They said they could give me a cash out, which is about $550, that I could have someone else come and replace my water heater or they would send a second company to my house to see if the first company was correct in their assessment.

    AHS sent out a second company. The kid probably should not be fixing people's water heaters. He came the first day and I came home from work to find out there was no hot water coming out of the faucet at all. You turn on cold, you get running water. You turn on hot, it was dry as a bone. So, I immediately called American Home Shield and the guy came back the next day. Now, we have running water, but there is no heat in the water at all. So, AHS said they would replace the water heater but I would have to go back to the first company and have them replace it and I still have to pay that $800 difference. Or they would give me a cash out and I can find my own person to replace the water heater. Or I could go find my own person to replace the water heater. They would give me $600 towards whatever the new water heater would cost. But everything else would be, again, out of my own pocket.

    I am trying not to freak out on the phone with the poor person at the plumbing company who doesn't know what to do or the person who answers American Home Shield's phone. It's not their fault that this is stupid and messed up. And none of those additional items are covered because I have a gas water heater. AHS came up with this arbitrary number that it's going to cost to re-fit a new water heater. At least if the guy would have left it the way it was, I could have hot water until I could find someone else to come and replace it. But I have had no hot water for a week. And they don't seem to care.

    I got American Home Shield in 2019. I bought an older home. Some of the appliances were new. Some were older. You pay a monthly fee and if there's a problem with the appliance, they fix it. If they can't fix it, then they’d replace it. I thought it was reasonable since I can't really fix anything. But I'm certainly very dissatisfied with the latest issue with my dryer. My dryer was turning on, but not heating the clothing. I thought it was possibly electrical, so I had a friend of mine who's an electrician come and take a look at it. He said the electrical system to my house was working fine and that it had to be the dryer. I called American Home Shield and they had a technician come out.

    The technician said, “We have to replace the circuit board.” When they got the part in, they had a technician come back out. He replaced the circuit board. The dryer was turning on, but it still wasn't heating. He said that it wasn't the dryer, it was my own electrical outlet. I said I just had my own electrician come and look at it. He was not very pleasant. He was somewhat indignant when I questioned why he then replaced a part that was in working order, so he claimed. I called American Home Shield, told them what happened. They just sent an electrician. When the electrician came out, he checked the outlet and said, “No. Everything is fine. It’s the dryer. The dryer’s broken.”

    It's been at least six weeks that I've had no dryer. This has been really dragging on. I was just being bounced back and forth. So, I called AHS again. They said, “We have to send out a technician.” By this time, I was really fed up. The technician said, “I still think it's your home electrical system. But your dryer’s not working, so I'll tell them to replace the dryer.”

    Where the dryer is placed in my laundry room is a very tight spot. The delivery people took the dryer off the truck, and then they connected the power cord. A little while later, they called me and they said the 6-foot power cord doesn't reach the outlet, ‘cause the outlet is up on the wall. They said, “You have to go buy an input cord.” and then they left. They did not connect the vent. They said, “There's no point in connecting the vent because there's no power to the unit.” I say, “Okay. When someone comes back to fix all this, we’ll connect the vent.”

    I also paid extra and upgraded to the steam dryer version. But I forgot about that. A few days later, I looked around and thought, “They never connected the steam to the water source.” I didn't see any box with any parts. The technician was dispatched to come when I replaced the power cord. When I realized the issue about the steam dryer capability, I let American Home Shield know before the technician came here. The technician called me and said, “Don't worry about it. I'll take a look at it.”

    He came and he discovered one thing. When the delivery people had installed the original power cord, they broke a screw inside the system. Unfortunately, it was where the grounding wire goes. They didn't say anything about it. So, he was able to properly connect the new cord that I purchased. The cord reached fine but the power didn't come out.

    This guy said, “The wires in the outlet are broken.” I said, “American Home Shield sent an electrician. He said it’s 240 powers coming out of there.” He said, “No. The outlet is broken. You have to replace it.” Now I am paying out of pocket, and I still don't have a dryer ‘cause I couldn't get the electrician to come. He’s hopefully coming this weekend to replace the outlet. I'll have to call them to come back because I have to now order the parts for a Y cord to connect the washer and the dryer to the water source for them to install that. Since this fiasco, I’m not very happy.

    Also, my washer, all of a sudden, decided to stop working. AHS sent three different technicians before they would put in that the washer’s not working and to replace it. It's a tremendous headache to convince somebody that your appliance is not working properly in order for them to do something about it. I spent over $700 a year on the warranty. At some point, I may change to a different company because of the aggravation they put me through when something's not working right, it may not be worth what they charge. Then they also charge $100 for them just to come in.

    We had our washer-dryer and refrigerator fail at the same time and AHS handled it quickly. They fixed the dryer right away. For the refrigerator, it was the ice maker and that's an ongoing thing because it's not what they thought it was. The guy replaced the ice maker, thinking that the old one was bad, but the problem’s still there. So in going back to file another claim to have him come out, I thought it would be better to tack it on to the original claim. But there's no place on the website where you can really do that, so I had to call them and that was what they did.

    The claim process with AHS has been simple, except, sometimes, we don't have a choice of who we would like to be serviced by. I would like for them to give us an option, two or three different companies that we can select. Because I've had some that have given me good service, and there are some that have given me bad service. But recently, the techs that came out replaced the little part that goes in the bottom of the washer and it's been working fine since then.

    AHS is not perfect, but it's better than trying to find a technician to come out and do the job, and then I worry if they're qualified or not. But, when I turn a claim in, sometimes it takes four or five days for a technician to make contact with me, then it's three days for parts to come in. Like when the air conditioner went out and I got a wife that's on the oxygen system, the urgency was not there. But I like the peace of mind that I'll get a qualified technician to come out to do the job.

    The only time I had a dispute was when the house was built, I had a plumbing issue and they said, “That's not up to code today.” They penalized me for not being in code. But it was in code when the house was built. I didn't take it any further. But everything else had been very satisfactory. Now, I got a claim to replace a wall oven unit. But there are no models available at this point in time. If I go outside of American Home Shield, they're not offering me enough money to put in a decent unit for anything. So, I'm patiently waiting for the inventory to come in to replace my oven wall unit.

    My AC was not heating my house when it should so I submitted a claim with AHS online. The online dashboard told me I needed to contact Family A/C to schedule my appointment, so I did that. This would be the second time that AHS assigned that contractor to my ticket. It was the same person who came out the first time, so that was good.

    I had another claim and AHS assigned a contractor to me. That person called me and said, “I'm too busy. I can't show up.” But I ended up getting charged. It was a hassle to get my money back on that because the contractor said he completed the ticket. I also made a claim one time before and they sent out Total Air and that company was the cause of the issue that came up the most recently. They had apparently overfilled my Freon. The tech recently had to let some Freon out and ultimately, my heater started working again.

    American Home Shield is a tried and true method. They have always gotten back to me very quickly. The frame time is sometimes six hours when the contractors would come from 10:00 in the morning until 2:00. And I'd like to see that a bit shorter because then I have tied up most of my day waiting, not knowing when the contractors are coming. It's not that big of an issue because I'm retired. But for people who aren't, and if they have to take time off from work, it would be nice if there was just a bit less time. I had an outside faucet that we could not open. The contractor came out, replaced it in 20 minutes, and they were on their way. Since we've been there, AHS replaced our oven. That covered the cost of a year and a half. So, if you buy a house that has 10 or 15-year old appliances, I wouldn't think twice of getting them.

Aside from the dishwasher, American Home Shield has also replaced my upstairs HVAC system, washing machine and dryer.

    The garbage disposal had quit working. I called AHS and submitted a claim. However, they should have a little less waiting time as far as trying to get ahold of somebody. They need to quit saying, “Push this, push that.” When it says push 2 to speak to a claims person, it shouldn't make you push 2 three times besides that. It also took them a little bit of time to find somebody. But the techs were great. They fixed it right away and it was done. It works well now.

    AHS is a good thing to have, especially if you have a large appliance that breaks and saves you a little bit of money out of pocket from having to repair it or if it has to be replaced. But right now, I'm going through an incident where I have a dishwasher and a dryer that I've been waiting three months to be fixed. They couldn't find the part. Now, they've got the parts for the dryer, but they can't find the parts for the dishwasher. I thought it had to be fixed within a reasonable amount of time. Almost four months is not a reasonable amount of time for me. It gets expensive when you have to sit there and run to the laundromat every week to dry your clothes.

    There's been no communication. I've had to keep calling and it shouldn’t be that way. They should be calling me, saying, “This is what the holdup is.” That way, we could’ve got it resolved. I talked to them today and I talked to the people who are at the appliance place. He said he was gonna call back up there and see if they had the part. I said, “They're telling me that you're saying, ‘You have to tell them that since they can't find the part, they need to replace it.’” He said, “They're telling me that they're the one that has to replace it.” Every time I call, I get the same runaround. If they can't find the parts, let’s get it replaced. Don't keep dragging me over the coals saying, “They can't get the part.” I wish they'd hurry up and get me fixed.

So, I called back the following morning, just explained to them that I didn't get an email confirmation or text. And they found out that the rep didn't put the order through. When I called back, the guy put the order through.

    I originally called on a Thursday, but that was when the order didn't get put through. So, I called back Friday morning. And the company, The Service People, they couldn't come out until Tuesday. So I went and rented a pump to pump the water out of my basement for the meantime, which I understand because it was the weekend and they're booked up. But they were here when they said they would be here, called me before they arrived, showed up prepared. The tech brought the wrong pump at first. He only brought a third horsepower pump. But he immediately ran back down to Ace and got a half horsepower pump, which is what I had.

It took a few days for them to get out here to address the situation. The tech came out and repaired. But he did not turn the water off. I did not know that. I didn't pull the refrigerator out there to verify until I had seen more water pouring out of the refrigerator. And from the time that he came to assess and me getting it fixed, more and more water was pouring out on my floor. There was nothing at that point that I could do to even salvage it, which is why it was deemed as crucial as it was. We had mold and a lot of other things found as a result of the water sitting under there. In the end, he did get the issue repaired.

    It was slower than I thought it should be. But I have to be understanding of the fact that it takes time for things to come in. It took three weeks for the part to come in. Immediately, upon repair, the refrigerator started leaking again. So he came out a second time after the repair to verify, fixing things apart. And he discovered that didn't see where a leak was, but whatever he did that last time, I feel fully repaired of the issue because it has not leaked since. Sign up with AHS.

    Such a customer service mess I can hardly describe it. I signed up last September and the first technician they tried to send told me not to waste my $100 on a service call, as they collect the $100 but have never paid a claim. I got my money back for the $100 but had to promise to keep my membership active. In the first 2 weeks I upgraded my service then they charged me a lump sum for the difference and also proceeded to charge me monthly for the difference. They claim to be endorsed by the BBB and if you go there they have a rating of F.

    My garage door opener is old, and I had to buy a new one from the outside, but that opener wouldn’t connect to my garage door. We didn’t know what to do. We called the brand's tech support, and they couldn't help us, so I called American Home Shield. They sent out a young man that really knew what he was doing. He put a tiny part that hardly cost anything in the garage door opener and it started working. He put the new garage door opener from the outside on the wall, and I purchased an extra remote door opener from him. Overall, I like American Home Shield. I can call when I'm stumped by repair, and they help me out.

    My washer was completely gone. When I tried to use it, it was just pouring water all over the place. I called American Home Shield and they asked what happened. I told them my dishwasher, my refrigerator, and my clothes washer were all gone at the same time. They said they were going to send a technician and that they were going to call me to tell me when they were gonna come over. Then Potate's called and they came over and checked it. They went back to American Home Shield to tell them what happened and what they saw. The people at Potate's were very good. I would recommend them anytime. When you talk on the phone to any one of them in their office, they're very polite and very professional. I love the company.

    There was a time that I did a service call and American Home Shield said they were not going to fix the item. I was very angry and I was gonna let them go. But I thought, "That was the first time something like that is going to happen. So let's leave it on and see if it's gonna happen again." It never happened again. So I would still recommend American Home Shield. I've been with them since 2011. They're easily accessible. If anything happens, all I have to do is call American Home Shield or go online since I'm a member and let them know what is happening. Then they send somebody to come fix it for you. You don't have to start looking around for people to fix it.

Then, the second guy couldn't find nothing right at that time and he came out again because it had started doing the same thing again. He went a little deeper because he could see the problem then and he found out that the wire needed to be replaced. The two young guys came out here today and did an awesome job.

    My stove broke one time and they said, "Can we do a Zoom?" I did the Zoom and they saw what was wrong with the stove. They said, "Okay, we're going to transfer this video to whatever," the company who's coming over to fix the range. Perfect. Another time, the techs came for my ice maker and a bathroom faucet that was leaking water constantly for 30 gallons per day. I had to expedite the call several times and they didn't do it. By the time it was already the date for the appointment I was the one who was making the calls after that. It wasn't a good experience to be waiting, transferred here and there, disconnected, and do it again. I never had this experience before because Home Shield used to be excellent three years ago.

    It's been going down the drain because I have a couple of friends that have had the same experience. Every time they call, it's like 35 minutes before they get somebody alive. When I had the water leakage, I told the lady, "Can we do a Zoom? That way, you guys can see how priority needs to be." She said, "Oh, no, we don't do that on water leakages." When I have a water leakage, they should do Zoom. That way Home Shield expedites it instead of the customer calling and trying to make things expedited within 24 hours. Where is the priority?

    American Home Shield's cost is good, the customer service has been professional, and the courtesy of the guys that's been coming out here has been good, too. Sears came for my dryer recently. The guy ran tests on it and we figured that it wasn't the machine itself, but it was something dealing with electrical on the thing. So, I had to change the programming.

    As far as the claims process, it seems like you're doing online and then sometimes you have to still call in and talk to someone. When I had something go wrong with my air conditioning unit, I thought it was the air conditioning unit, but it was my Generac that was cutting it off. So, I had an air conditioner dude come out who told me there was nothing wrong, but he said I had to deal with an electrician. So, I was gonna have an electrician come out here, but I ended up calling Generac because we figured out the problems dealing with the Generac module that was there.

    Having AHS is beneficial because I can call and don't have to call all the way around and find somebody. We need more technicians, though, inside the Robeson County area because it seemed like all the guys have to come from far off. They have to come from like Fayetteville and Whiteville, which is like 30 or 40 miles away. We don't have anybody that's here in the Robeson County, Lumberton area.

    It's been a headache. They send in all the calls to another country. I ask to speak to somebody that speaks English and they send me to somebody else with broken English. I can't understand the people. I'd been wanting to drop AHS a lot of times. But when I finally get around to things to get it done, it's okay. They put in a brand new heating and air unit. Then, it went out again on us a couple of weeks ago. I had to pay another $125 deductible. I shouldn't have to pay any deductible for a brand-new heating and air unit. That wasn't even three months old. But, I went on and paid it because it's cold.

    Last time, one representative really got my goat because AHS referred a company, but I said that I didn't want that company out. I called back and this rep was telling me that what is done is done. They cannot refer me to another vendor. I hung up on her and called again. The other representative said, "Sure, I can help you with that," and they changed and got me another vendor.

    AHS allows homeowners to share in repairs when things arise. My son is a Realtor and he recommends American Home Shield to all of his clients. Recently, I had a refrigerator issue. The tech diagnosed the problem on the first visit. It took a couple of days and they contacted me to tell me that a repair could not be made and that AHS would send me some options. I did the cash reimbursement and we're supposed to get our refrigerator on Wednesday. The process worked very well. Last fall, our dishwasher tore up and that was a little bit more complicated than what this event was. AHS changed the service technicians and that may have been a good thing.

    The experience was less than fulfilling. American Home Shield is unorganized, considering we had an email that said our account was active. We received an email from them that said we were able to immediately request a rekey service and one fix service as needed prior to the accounts being funded on the closing date. After that, additional services would be available. We immediately reached out for the rekey service so we could have the house rekeyed before we moved all of our belongings. However, we were told our policy doesn't begin until 30 days after we close.

    We got in touch with our realtor who contacted American Home Shield who came back and said we should be able to get the rekey service right away. By right of way, that turned into we could request it after it had funded, so on the closing date. Once we requested it on the closing date, the first available service from the rekey was one week later so we had to wait about five days for the rekey service. On the day of the rekey service, we got a phone call from the rekey technician that she had car troubles and wasn't going to be able to make it and we'd have to reschedule for another day.

    We rescheduled for a day or two later and when the locksmith came, they tried to upsell us all new clocks, which I should have expected but kind of caught us off guard. But they completed the rekey with the original locks and I'm very happy overall with that. We got it for a reasonable price but I would have felt a lot better if I just called up a locksmith myself and said, “Hey, we're closing on this date. Can you meet me there in the afternoon?” It would have been a lot less hassle and faster.

    American Home Shield was very good in terms of turning around the claim. The initial issue was that the dishwasher was leaking a few months after the first vendor fixed it. It fried the motherboard because he didn't close it. But when the second person went out, he said that the dishwasher was pulled out and that wasn't the case. It was a language issue. He put the notes in that the dishwasher was pulled out and he never even touched it. So, when AHS gave me the choice of a second opinion because I disagreed with what the results were, I said yes. If the second opinion was the same as the first, then I would have to pay for it. The guy found the problem when I showed it to him when AHS sent him the next day. I was surprised that AHS approved the claim that night. The guy went in at 12:00 and by 5pm, I had an email saying that the claim was approved with the link where I can go shop.

    AHS gave me options for dishwashers. What they gave me was more than what I originally had paid for. I paid for the dishwasher at that time $900 and they valued it at 1,500. I called AHS the next day and told them that these dishwashers were not like any of the ones I had. They forgot to put in that it had a steel tub and it brought it up to $1,500. I could either wait till the one I wanted was available, which could be a while because of the shortage, or I could take a Lowe's gift card, go buy it myself, and know that for the first year it was under the warranty. And I said, "Fine." The Jenn Air that they recommended had a market value of $1,700. It's not available on their website or hasn't been for a while and I wasn't going to wait that long for a dishwasher. I got a Samsung at Lowe's with the gift card. What they did was great.

    AHS is great here in the Florida area. I have it on one particular item for my mother in the Boston area. They're way more expensive and the service is a little different but here, it's amazing. I'm still fighting the refrigerator though. It's not in stock on AHS’ website and since they had repaired it twice already, they only gave me $2,700 for it. When I go to Lowe's, because of the shortages, it went up almost $1,000 from the original price tag. So, I'm going back and forth with them to allow me to use the AHS website a lot longer. Every 21 days, I'm calling to extend it. If it's not in by the end of next week, I'm going to take the gift card and buy a cheaper refrigerator, which is not what I want. I want the same one, but it's so much more expensive at Lowe's and it's not in stock.

    Our heater went out and the tech came the next day. We used him before and he was good about that. He checked the unit upstairs and he thought he knew what was wrong with it, so he went and got a part. He brought the part back in a short period of time and put it in but the part was defective. So, he had to go back and get another one and that part did not work. So, he went back again and got another part. It was the same part every time and that part worked, and he got it all fixed up for us. He did an excellent job.

    American Home Shield’s website is easy to navigate through and the only problem is that if you have two things that are in the same part of things to be fixed, you can’t put them both in as part of one trip. You have to do two separate events, which is why whenever there’s more than one, I call them. We had the fiasco with the water heater and it was a nightmare. It took three months to get it resolved but AHS has been prompt and fairly easy to work with.

    We had electric in part of the house but not rest of the house. After we had put the claim in and was waiting for the service guy to come out, we found out that it was actually an electrical problem throughout our development. And it was actually AEP that provides us with electric in the development’s problem. So we paid our $100 deductible for no reason. But we got great service. And so there wasn't anything he had to do when he got there. We had to wait for AEP to come into the development and repair everybody’s service.

    I spoke with someone and it was great. They took all the information, said that somebody would be contacting me, and it wasn't probably within 10 minutes that somebody called and said that they would be out in 45 minutes. They just gave me the name of the contractor and they gave me a telephone number in case I didn't hear from them in a timely manner. But like I said, we heard from him within 20 minutes. We're renewing our home warranty for a third year now. I just like to be able to pay $100 deductible I have an issue instead of having to call somebody, try to find somebody locally and wait for them to provide service.

They said they have to wait on AHS and I've been calling since February the 14th but they haven't responded back to me on that. Other than that, I’ve been with AHS for years and they've responded quite a bit over the years. They were really good about responding and fixing whatever I asked for.

    I had a wet spot in my backyard and we came to find out it was a drainage coming from the sump pumps in my basement. So, I checked the sump pumps and they needed to be replaced, which was covered by my American Home Shield contract. So, I called the plumber and he said that he could replace the sump pumps but that I might need to talk to a water proofer instead, which is not covered by my American Home Shield. So, he never replaced the sump pumps. I talked to the water proofer and they're gonna waterproof my basement and install their own sump pump. AHS ended up not doing anything and it's also stupid that they don't cover mold. But I would still recommend AHS. I have the most comprehensive contract that they offer and I'm surprised that they didn't cover some of the stuff.

    The service of AHS has been really phenomenal. On my second call to American Home Shield, I was very flustered and frustrated about the process that was occurring. But in retrospect, it is what it is. The communication’s been solid and the product is meeting my expectations. As a first-time homebuyer, you always hear those horror stories. As soon as you sign the dotted line, the entire house breaks down. So it's been nice to know that regardless of what comes up, chances are I've got someone in my corner that can help me through the process.

    I was having my furnace cycling on and off a little bit more constantly than it should have been. I called American Home Shield and they got ahold of Schramm. Then they came out and took a look at everything. They cleaned out the furnace and it has been working better than it was since then. I've only had to use American Home Shield for a couple of different claims. But so far, they've been able to get everything taken care of fairly quickly. The claims process is pretty hassle-free. But if you got to make multiple claims at once, you got to call in more than once. You can't just do it all at once, which is a little bit inconvenient if you got more than one problem going on at a time.

    For some reason, my doorway didn't close all the way, so I couldn't use the dishwasher. I went on American Home Shield website and said I had an issue with my dishwasher, and an hour later, I had a booked appointment, and I just confirmed that I would be available for the appointment and they charged my card for the fees. It was an easy process. The tech came in and readjusted one of the vents, cleaned it out, and it was able to close all the way. So, it's an easy fix for the tank.

    Make sure you read the terms and conditions for whatever warranty company you go with because they got different rules.

    I had left the water running at night because we were in freezing temperatures. When I went to try to shut it off in the morning, it wouldn’t shut off. That was the hot water that was leaking and the cold water handle broke off in my hand. Then I had another faucet outside that was leaking. When the contractor came out, they had to replace a valve. They were very nice. They explained the work that they were doing and what they would have to do, if necessary. But I had to also get an external plumber because they didn't provide the service to get a shutoff valve put in. So that came out of my own pocket.

    When I contacted American Home Shield to take a look at a couple of things at my house, it took four times for different people to come out. I didn't like the people that they sent out. They weren't there to do anything but just look and do nothing. I finally had something taken care of and it was something entirely different than what I had asked for initially. It was also difficult to communicate with the people. English was not their first language so they go by the script as opposed to understanding what the issue is. There was one phone call where it was clear that they weren't understanding me. I could barely understand them. So, there was frustration as well with communication problems.

    On one side of the wall, I have a remote that controls the ceiling fan, but then it can be operated on another side of the wall with a dimmer switch. He told me that I was not supposed to have a switch from a dimmer. So he put on a switch. The ceiling fan works now. But I can't use the remote in my master bedroom anymore. So I got a partial fix. I paid 100 bucks to get someone just to tighten some wires and put on a different cover that doesn't have a dimmer on it. I've been pretty pissed that I keep getting emails to review it. The guy told me the remote costs 15 bucks. So it's not very expensive piece, and I don't know why I couldn't have been made whole on my end. But the guy was very nice and courteous.

    I had a washer issue wherein something went inside and we called for removal. The tech did good. On the other hand, there was a refrigerator issue, two times, then the guy said that it would be better to go for a replacement. I paid around $900 from my pocket and waited for that particular model. It took nearly six months to get that one, maybe due to the pandemic or a stock issue from the GE side.

    Overall, American Home Shield is good. One thing though, if the equipment is old and if I need to upgrade, I don't get that option from American Home Shield. Sometimes what happens is every six months, we are calling for some repair required for that. They come in six months or three months. If the equipment is already very old and need a replacement instead of repair, then it would be better if American Home Shield suggested, “Okay, this is the insurance, you can put. American Home Shield will give selection, $300 or $400 and you can upgrade your equipment.”

I had something done this weekend. Even though the person fixed it in 10 minutes, he said that I had a 30-day warranty on that repair. So if something happened within 30 days, he would come back and fix it for free.

I have a debit card linked for my service fee and then while I was still on the website, they texted me and said, “This has been assigned.” The first guy called me before I even got off the internet website.

    I was taken aback with the whole, “Oh, if we can't repair it, we'll replace it,” scenario when American Home Shield advertises. They kept sending different companies out for my refrigerator. Premier was the last company that finally said it needed to be replaced. But it's either I spend $10,000 to replace my refrigerator or wait and pay 3,500 through AHS because they have a discount with the manufacturers. If I go through them I only have to pay $3,100. When I decided to get a small refrigerator, I was under the impression that I'll be able to get a refrigerator within two months. But it's been since July and AHS doesn't have any inventory. It's forcing my hand to spend the additional money to replace my refrigerator because AHS only wants to give me a check for $3,000 when my refrigerator is 11,000.

    I've been thinking, is AHS even worth it? At the end of the day, for the amount of money that I'm paying, I could have replaced my refrigerator. So I'm not a happy camper when it comes to this whole situation because I'm left and they say, "Okay, call back." I've been calling back so often to the point where I just have AHS on my phone to redial and still I have no refrigerator.

    When AHS is soliciting, they should be more open with saying, “First of all, what type of home are you living in? If you live in a million-dollar home, you may want to have this coverage to cover you in the event that your refrigerator goes out or your stove goes out, that you'll have the right amount to be able to replace." My other home is more modest. There, it makes more sense for the coverage I have because the appliances aren’t high-end. But in this house, I have a Viking stove and to replace that is 12 grand. If my coverage is not adequate, AHS should say, “We need to clarify that if something goes out, based on the coverage that you have, you should have this level of coverage.” That needs to be discussed when these things are being sold to customers so that they understand that if something goes wrong, they are not going to have the coverage to cover it. Let them make a decision based on that information.

    My problem started out as an intermittent issue with our heat system. It worked, but would appeared to have difficulty igniting the natural gas on the first try. American Home Shield did respond quickly with a contractor who arrived on time and was able to duplicate the problem and made a diagnostic decision, but had to order a part.

    The next day another technician from the same company arrived with the part, but informed us he had to perform his own diagnostics before he would be willing to install it. He eventually installed the part and quickly left without verifying his work. My heat has not worked at all since then. It has now been 11 days and the same contractor has sent different techs out at least five times, but the system still does not work. Apparently the contractor has diagnostic techs and installers, but not someone who can do both, so we have to make arrangements to be there for diagnostics and then for whenever they can schedule us for the install team.

    Multiple nights in the 20's since this started. Several conversations with the contractor's office have convinced me they are not capable and they demonstrate no urgency to remedy this situation. American Home Shield is aware of our situation/frustration and have been absolutely useless. They refuse to replace the contractor and also show zero urgency about helping us. Since being made aware, AHS has not even bothered to contact us to see if there is any improvement. I wish I could rate AHS and their contractor at a zero, because they have not earned any stars.

    Our breaker kept getting put off with our air condition and heater, and Hopwood Electric was able to diagnose what was wrong and they’re coming back out. We have been with American Home Shield for 12 years and before, it would take forever to get on the line. You’d have to hold, hold, hold. Then, I have one issue with them and it's still not resolved. Our faucet in the kitchen came apart and the repair guys came out to fix it. But two months later, it started acting up again. I called them to come out and they needed to replace it but AHS refused to replace it because they said it was a secondary something. I can't understand why. We had to pay $400 ourself for it. So, I was upset with them about that.

    AHS should work with the customer. We pay $81 a month and they are not able to fix the problem on hand. The contractor cut the two squares in the ceiling and now we have to pay the two squares that need to be fixed out of our pocket. Also, contractors have been out four times for my washing machine and each time they're replacing a part when at some point, it's time to replace the item itself.

    I had two claims with the American Home Shield. One was regarding some plumbing issues and I gave one guy a horrible review. He was rude and not very pleasant. When he came to the door, he said, “I hear you got a leaky faucet.” But I said, “No, we have a plugged up drain,” which was an entirely different problem. Then he came in and wanted to attribute the problem to something that wasn't covered. I suspected that he knew what wasn't going to be covered. He tried to talk me into accepting the fact that the reason the water wouldn't go down the drain was that it had a negative slope on it of about two degrees. But I showed him the situation and that had absolutely nothing to do with it. If he didn't know that it didn't have anything to do with it, he shouldn't be a plumber. But he insisted and said, “Well, I'm going to file a report.”

    He filed a report and American Home Shield called us back. They said according to our contract, if the problem is what the plumber claimed it was, it was not covered. But I told them that he was wrong in diagnosing the problem and then I insisted upon having another opinion. Then they told me that if the second guy comes back with the same opinion, then I was going to be charged another $100. So we had to pay $100 to get anybody even to come out.

    The second guy came out and he was very friendly and talkative. He diagnosed the problem, and he said that it was not the slope of the line drain between the sink and the wall. He said it has nothing to do with it. He ran a snake down there and cleared it out. He was gone in less than an hour with about a half an hour of that time spent convincing himself that the drain was open. He ran water and ran water and ran water, and then he filled up the whole sink and pulled the plug and it was sucking with a little vortex as the water does as it goes down the drain. He did a great job. We haven’t had any trouble with it since. I gave him an excellent review.

    For the thermostat issue, the guy that came out was very friendly and professional. He had to change the thermostat because it was frozen. He looked at the options that he had and I said, “Look, I don't want to have to change the faceplate on my wall because then I got to add spackle and paint and do a whole bunch of stuff." He took that into consideration and chose a unit that seems to be working perfectly well. He fixed it with one encounter. He called his manager to make sure that the one that he was chosen was okay and the guy gave him a green light. He installed it and I gave him a good review, too.

    In the past, like most people, you just called that plumber that you always used, or you just called whomever. And that worked out okay. Because in many cases, they remembered you, your equipment, etc. And I have had several independent contractors say that they would go with one of the home warranty companies because they were not paid enough. And I get that. But I haven’t always been satisfied with the technicians that come out, as far as what they are able to do. I tried to get the same company. If it's a plumbing issue, the same plumber. And I do not use American Home Shield for heating and air conditioning. I use another company that's not with them that I used for many years. I had one call with American Home Shield, and they diagnosed the issue, but the price was extraordinary. It was a damper. So, I called the other company, and their price was half.

    I call in and I get a text message or an email. They give me the name and telephone number and I just call them. If I don’t, they will set up an appointment. Or they will call me, etc. A year or two ago, we had to replace the kitchen faucet. And we did. Then the handle started falling off, because there was something that was missing or it fell out. But that was way beyond the time. It was more than a year. So the contractor came out, they fixed it, and they found something else, which was not really important. Underneath the sink, there is a magnet that causes that sprayer to flip back up into the faucet. And the tech said, “I have to order this, etc.” And I thought, “No, forget it. It’s okay.” So, he didn’t. They were fine. We had a couple of calls where they just didn’t get it right the first time. And it wasn't their problem. It had to do with a toilet. And eventually, they replaced the whole interior. But it was three visits.

    The guys there are at GE Appliances are fantastic and timely. But I had an issue with the refrigerator. The tech came out three or four times. And he said, “Well, the issue could be X, Y, Z, and it was something huge on the refrigerator. But I don’t think that’s gonna be approved.” But he did come out three times, and they eventually resolved the issue.

    I had some issues with Home Shield. I would report something and I wouldn't hear back from them for days. I would have to call back and yell at them a little bit to get them to move on it. They would tell me who the contractor would be but the contractor wouldn't call. I had a claim with the washer and the contractor didn't call me to set up an appointment. They put in their ticket that it was Home Shield that contacted me and was working with me on it, which they had not. I had to escalate and scream a little bit because I told them I didn't want that company after they did that. Then, they sent out R&S Home Maintenance and the guy was early and called me, at least, an hour before my appointment. He got here quickly and took care of everything that he needed to. Home Shield handled it as I would expect them to.

    The only thing I would ask is that when I open an incident and I go to the website to look at it, I'd like to see the details in there. I had to have a new washer and they put me in touch with the appliance group. They were going to order one and they got it out here on time but none of that information was in my ticket.

    I'm enjoying AHS. I've had it for a few years. I recently did my first two claims. AHS really came in handy, ‘cause it's like car insurance. You may not use it, but you need it when you do. With a home, you never know when something is gonna come up, so it's always good to have, especially when you don't have to pay a large amount. I don't mind paying the service fee as opposed to paying hundreds or thousands of dollars.

    My only concern is with one of the companies that I used, that was recommended to me. It was the very first claim that I did. It was with Extreme Heating & Air. They charged me for the service, although it was included with my AHS warranty package. I called them directly. They stated that they would give me a call. About a week has gone by but I haven't heard anything. So, I was going to call American Home Shield about it.

    Negative 9 if I could give it. Signed up for a new contact in January and it would take effect February 7, 2022. Started spring cleaning 2/10/22 by cleaning out the cabinets and re-organizing them. I have an old faucet and the pipes are under the sink behind a panel. It smelled musty so I removed the panel and cleaned the area. I was not sure if the mustiness was from being on a flat or something else. Since I had this new contract, I scheduled a tech out to investigate this. Old faucets sometimes cannot be repaired, so I picked up a replacement just in case. Paid the service fee to have the plumber come out.

    All he did was complain about how much of a pain Levittown house plumbing is. He climbed into the cabinet with a flashlight and determined that it looked like it had a leak. This is something that I could not easily see or detect. When the contractor submitted their work order AHS denied the work order as it is a pre-existing condition. I reviewed the contract, and it does not indicate anything about an old fixture not being covered if leaks. AHS does not have a direct line and you have to wait a long time to talk to someone.to have these types of issues addressed. The first person I spoke to said it should have been covered and sent me to escalation. Escalation denied this repair as it is “preexisting”. I escalated to a manager, and they said the same thing.

    By their definition, if you have any appliance or faucet that is not new – and it does break down during the contract the repair will not be covered. You are at their mercy. If I wanted a second opinion on this, I would have to pay for another visit and it they agreed with the first I would be out additional cash and no repair. They would not work to address this in any way and wanted me to stay with them. They could not answer why I should stay if they would not fix anything as they would consider anything on an old house as preexisting. I have canceled the contract but am still out the $125 and will have to have someone else come out and install the new faucet. I will never use this company again.
