    My toilets weren't flushing properly so I contacted AHS and it was excellent with the rep I interacted with. Then, United Air came out and their representatives were very professional, timely, and responsive. They've come to my home several times. They're my preferred contractor.

    We have a lot of appliances and we never know when they're gonna go out, so that would be the benefit to having a home warranty. When our dishwasher wasn’t working, the tech came out within a couple of days. It was really fast. The new dishwasher was supposed to be delivered March 5, but it's still not been delivered so I’m assuming there are issues with the COVID or process.

    I've got two heat pumps and gas furnaces, and the second floor unit was not blowing warm air. So, we called that in on the warranty. I was upstairs when the contractor messed with it. They had to replace some parts and I also mentioned to him I had intended on calling American Home Shield about my electrical heat pump in my bedroom. It's sort of wide and it's a wall unit. It has half of it outside and half of it on the inside where the controls are.

    The tech checked it out and he came back sooner than later with the correction to the second-floor heat pumps/gas furnace. It was cold and it took a little while but it didn't bother me because I told him that it wasn't an emergency. I needed to have it fixed though because my first-floor unit can't very long handle heating the whole house. He fixed the second-floor unit in a reasonable time and told me that they were going to have to order a new unit for the wall unit. It was old. He and the same helper put it in. I was happy with the service. I was a little surprised though when he told me that they didn't finish out the unit in the wall. Apparently, the unit was a little smaller than the original hole so, there was a bit of a gap. So I had some backer rod that I gave him and they stuck it in there. I'll finish the rest myself maybe in the summer. But all in all, it was a good service.

    American Home Shield costs me about $700 now but I like having that peace of mind that if something goes wrong that cost more than that, they’ll help cover the cost. So I'm happy to pay $700 although I haven't gotten my monies back. The total amount of work that I've had done on the warranty is 40% of what I paid them over the years. I'm happy with AHS. If I were to talk to people, particularly people buying an older home as I had and it’s a big property, I would tell them to pay $700 a year and that for the most part, AHS covered most of the expenses. They’re straightforward. There are a few things that they don't cover. For example, when I first bought the policy, they didn’t cover either refrigerators or garage doors, but they do that now.

    I bought some high-end kitchen appliances, Thermador and I was a little concerned about whether or not AHS would cover work on it or even do a replacement. My oven is a combination microwave, convection oven, and heating oven, and the guy that came out confessed he hadn't done a whole lot of work on Thermador. But he had been doing a little research and he worked with American Home Shield to get the Thermador part. He came back, put it in and it has worked perfectly ever since. So, I was quite happy that they covered the work on that expensive appliance. I would’ve been disappointed if they said they don't work on those. I would also recommend Anthony who most recently did some work for me. He’s been here a couple of times and he’s a straightforward guy.

    The lights in my refrigerator and freezer were not working properly and I couldn't see anything in them without outside light. We did a video call and the contractor diagnosed the problem over the phone. The phone diagnostic was perfect. They were really quick about it. They took the screenshots they needed to verify the problem through the camera in my phone. Three weeks later, they replaced the motherboard light. When I have a claim and AHS is able to fix it, they're great. But when there's an issue and it's not covered with a claim and it should be based on the package I purchased, it's super frustrating. Other than that, my experience with American Home Shield is usually pretty good. When they are able to fix issues, they do.

    Recently, the burners on the stove were not working properly. The techs that AHS sent came out within four days and they were able to fix it. However, sometimes you have to wait a while depending on their call volume. I also wish sometimes we had more flexibility on our options around who would service. For example, if we have a bad experience with one particular vendor, sometimes we are forced to stay with that vendor a lot longer than I would want to. I would like to have the option to say, "I no longer want to use that particular company. Please provide me with someone else." But when I'm being forced regardless of how I feel, they have to come back into my home and sometimes that allows them to still behave in an unprofessional manner. It's just tough.

    So far, we have great service from AHS. We had two items fixed here recently, and it was a good job done on both of those. We had a heating issue and a plumbing issue. The plumber was fantastic, swift and straight to the point. He got in and got out and did an excellent job on everything. For the heater, when the gentleman came out, he found two problems, one of which he had the part in the vehicle, and the other one he had to order. Two days later, he came back and installed the additional part, and it works 100%. Courteous, professional and clean. AHS worked out really well.

    Customer support is very good. If I can't do a claim online, I always wait and somebody will answer the phone for me. I used their service when my microwave would not heat up anything. They replaced it. I picked the exact same one because I knew it would fit right in where the other one was. My yech was a super nice and wonderful young man. American Home Shield has been very professional and they've done well by us. With everything else being so expensive, it's nice to feel that you're taken care of in case something major happens. We'll probably continue to use them.

    There was a vibrating noise coming from the furnace and apparently, there was a difference in airflow between the three floors. So, if we have one floor with the louvers open or the dampeners open with the other two closed, it was going to have some vibrating noise. It turned out that it was really just an operating issue. So, if you open at least two of them, then the vibrating noise would go away. Overall, the techs left a good impression. They were all very polite and very eager to help out. Other than that, submitting the claim with AHS was pretty simple but on the portal, whenever you want to specify an issue, there could be more options on the different types of issues.

    With American Home Shield, I've had zero issues. Once I submit a claim, a contractor gets assigned right away and usually, within a couple days, they're at the house. When the furnace didn't turn on, Fix It Now Heating and Cooling came. There was a fuse and the thermostat needed to get replaced. They went and got the thermostat, and it was working. With American Home Shield, it's good having a reputable contractor that I don't have to research. I was with Fidelity forever but they didn't have a big enough presence in Colorado so I couldn't get contractors.

    It also seems that American Home Shield is getting approval quicker to get stuff accomplished. With Fidelity, they'd have to get on the phone, and that would be a process to get everything approved. With American Home Shield, their contractor gets in here, gets it done then leaves. My only thing is the three different price points. With Fidelity, they only have two - a basic one and a comprehensive one. With American Home Shield, it gets a little dicey between the middle plan and the high plan. It doesn't seem there's that much more benefit. They only exclude a couple of things, like the garage opener, and maybe a couple other things. I wish they would have just two plans.

    A pressure regulator valve went out recently. But unfortunately, our water heater wasn't up to code. Because of that, American Home Shield would not pay for it because it was going to be considered a modification to get it up to code 'cause it needed something. With everything to get everything up to code, it was almost $800. It also took me almost three months to get an air conditioning replaced this past summer. A lot of that was that there were no contractors. American Home Shield could not find the contractor. I had to call myself and get a contractor and they submitted the claim. But then, American Home Shield was like, "Oh, no, this is too much money. We will find one for you." But it took forever. This was in summer, so all the contractors were busy.

    When the contractors were here for my plumbing, they called American Home Shield. American Home Shield told them that they weren't going to cover it, but they were going to call me and explain to me why. But I never got a phone call from them. We waited for American Home Shield to call to see how to proceed, and all the while, the guy was just standing here waiting. I called American Home Shield, the people didn't know anything. The follow-through is just not very good. But when I get ahold of somebody, they're very friendly.

    I love AHS, so far. I called AHS. The lady that I talked to was very good, providing me with instructions and how it works. The pricing was also in my budget. Everything worked well. For my recent claim, Diamond went, checked everything, but couldn't find anything. The door was working as expected. The tech told me, “If something happens, give me a call.”

    Two weeks later, the tenant called me and said it was happening again. I called Diamond. Diamond told me, “Have them send a video to us to see what the problem could be before we go over there. ‘Cause we just can't find anything.” I sent the video and I got an email that we have scheduled another service request to go over and take a look. However, I got an email from AHS saying the service is from 8:00 to 12:00 on the 16th, but then I also got an email from Diamond saying the service is 8:00 to 12:00 on the 18th. So, I'm getting a little conflict there. I'm not sure if it's the 16th or the 18th. I sent an email to Diamond. But I haven't received one back yet.

    I was not happy at all with the company that American Home Shield sent because they ended up charging us all kinds of stuff when it’s supposed to be $75 every time they visit. They came the first time. They didn't fix the stovetop. They said, “Oh, we can’t fix it.” We called AHS back. They sent out a second company, and that company was fantastic. They took care of the issue like they should have done the first time. I would never recommend the first company that came in. The second company knew exactly what they had to do.

    Requesting service to AHS was difficult. We had to go through different people and finally get an answer. They don't make it easy for us to get in touch directly with somebody. We have to go through the email. It doesn't make any sense. I'm old school. AHS should give us access to a speaking voice at the other end and not computers. We don't need to go through 20,000 people to get to the right person. I'm thinking of canceling the policy completely because they didn't even offer any compensation. So, it’s upsetting.

But as it turned out, someone accidentally held the button too long and it turned the refrigerator off, which was acting the same way it was when something on the computer went out the last time. I had to pay $100 for the call, which I did not object to, because I thought it was out.

    I've had a couple of issues with American Home Shield. One of my sinks fell and they told me it wasn't covered although it was in the plan. The other issue was when I called them about the AC in the dead of summer. The rep said, "Well, that part's not covered by the plan.” But with my last claim, I called about my dishwasher and AHS got that fixed within 3 days.

    I like how I call AHS, they take my deductible, and then they send somebody over. It's just quick. With this claim with my dishwasher, all of a sudden, I get a call from a local vendor, and they're like, "We'll be there in two days."

    There was a burst pipe in my wall and the tech that came out was very good. He was fairly quick. The job was done within an hour. He didn't repair the wall, but he said that wasn't his deal. So I said okay. It's behind my stove, so it's not a huge deal. But it's a big hole, so I'm gonna have to fix it. But I'm happy with my home warranty. I had an incident with the refrigerator in Virginia that went out. American Home Shield gave me the money to replace the fridge because we couldn't get my particular fridge in. I ended up coming out of pocket on that one myself to make up the difference.

    I've had good experiences with American Home Shield. It's just that sometimes it takes a little longer to get anything done. I had an issue last year with my dishwasher and we had mix-ups because Sears didn't come out. We were without a dishwasher for almost five months. The parts were ordered but Sears didn't come in on time. I received the parts but they never called. When I rescheduled, they were another month out. I told them, "I've got the parts. You didn't call. You just assumed because you saw it on your thing that I didn't receive it. But I had.” So we went round and round on that. I ended up fixing it myself at that point.

    I pay AHS monthly, and then when the serviceman comes out, I got to give $100 to the service person, that’s a part of the contract, but with this last appointment for my garbage disposal, they charged me $80 extra. They said that’s in the contract, that they do that sometimes. She told me that’s in a lot of other AHS contractors’ contracts.

    The techs were able to get out there quickly. But I was just having a dilemma because I didn't understand this extra $80. It took me a few days to ask questions. I called AHS. I wanted to talk to a supervisor, but I kept talking to these foreign people that answers the phone. But they didn't have any kind of information to give me why I have to pay the $80.

    It’s working well. However, I bought a brand new garbage disposal, and it's got the cap that goes on it and he didn't put the new cap on. He said, “You don't need a new cap. You put a new cap on it, I'm gonna have to charge you more because that means I got to do extra work.” I said, “But isn’t that a part of doing the whole job?” He said, “Yeah. But your sealing around your cap is okay.” I said, “I know it’s okay. But I purchased a new disposal, I should put all new stuff in.” But he told me in order to do that, it would be more. I would recommend AHS, but I was not too satisfied with the last deployment for the garbage disposal. But we had an ice maker repaired and the guy who did that did a real good job. He was in there, got it taken care of, and it was finished. He didn’t charge me extra money.

    If you need something fixed nowadays, it’s expensive. AHS makes it easier to call someone in and get a technician to your house. It's cheaper too. Last year, I had a problem with them with my AC. The first technician they sent said that we needed to change the whole thing. He left and never gave an answer. So I fought with American Home Shield for a little bit. Scott from Young Mechanicals came in and he fixed the AC. That was the reason I kept American Home Shield because I found this guy. For my recent claim, my furnace was turning off. I guess it had some mice outside, so I’m cleaning. Some cables were not conducting very well. The tech switched the cables and now it's been turning on normally. Everything's great so far. The techs were all right.

    Three weeks ago when someone fixed my garbage disposal, he brought a friend whom I thought was his co-worker and they stole $460 out of my purse. I called at least four times and asked AHS to put that in my notes and have a manager call me back but no one has called me back. The same thing happened with my washer which was semi-working. I had to fill it up with water 'cause it didn't fill all the way to the large load. The techs didn't fix it and they tried to leave before they even made sure the washer was working. They said, "Oh, we need another part." The tech did something and now my washer doesn't work at all. I even asked him to speak to his manager because he was insisting that there was nothing he could do. And I'm like, "Well, sir, if you can't fix it, then aren't you guys supposed to replace it?" And he was like, "No. That's not a fixable thing."

    So, I asked him, "Is there a card I could have? Is there a manager I can talk to?" He was so reluctant to give me his name. I also asked for his badge and he said he didn't have one. I was fed up. He said he was gonna make the appointment for the 29th. So, I have to wait until then. I'm extremely disappointed with American Home Shield. I want these issues resolved, especially with the techs stealing my money out of my purse. Other than that, the electrician they sent was good though I had to make sure he checked his work. Luckily I had him check the light which wasn't working and he fixed something. Now that's working fine.

    American Home Shield does a very fantastic job. The agents and the repair people that they contract come out to do the work. They are very efficient. I have a retractable fanlight and the light stopped working. It’s fluorescent. Repair people were here yesterday and it was evaluated that American Home Shield is going to have to replace the fan. When they left, they said they had to get that approved. They called me back and said the unit would be ordered. Afterwards, they will be out to finish the job. I'm very satisfied with American Shield. I’ve had them for several repairs with my home and with my two rentals. They haven't disappointed me yet. I will recommend them.

    The garbage disposal wasn't rotating, but I could hear the motor go on. So it was still working. It just wasn't cutting or grinding stuff up. I tried the reset button on the bottom and all kinds of things but none of that worked. So I sent in a claim and then the contractor let me know they were on their way. They got here and they got it fixed in no time. I also had Home Shield replace my kitchen faucet once. The tech ran to Home Depot and then came back and did it right away. Overall, Home Shield has been wonderful. We've been happy with them. Depending on the contractor that they choose, sometimes the process takes longer than I'd like. But it's never been a huge issue.

    Fort Bend was the first people that came out for our washer but they weren’t able to fix it. The guy from the Fort Bend Appliance came out three times. The first time, he fixed it with a refurbished part. It worked, but something was wrong with it. When the new part came in, he came in and replaced it. We called them back and told them the washer was still doing the same thing. They said, “My technician has done all he can do.” So, AHS sent somebody else out for a second opinion. That guy said, “They had left a wire that was supposed to be connected unconnected.” He fixed that. I did laundry yesterday. I did two loads, which is two cycles and it went through all the cycles and appeared to be working.

    Sometimes, it’s an easy process to file the claims with AHS. Sometimes, it’s a headache. Some of them have to come back more than once. I don't think they put much effort into repairing what needs to be repaired, ‘cause I had the same issue with my AC. Somebody came out, took a look at it and said, “We've done what we can do.” Then somebody else came out and said, “Oh, it’s fixed.” Then the next person came out, said, “No, this is what's wrong.” And they fixed it and I didn't have any issues. But AHS is good to have because it saves you money. Having an AC repair, that's gonna cost a whole lot more than paying the $75 for them to come out for them to fix it. The downside of it is, you’re on their time. They have to come when they're available and then you have to deal with, the first go-around, it may not be fixed.

    Every time I ever had to use American Home Shield, it worked fine for me. When my light in my bathroom wouldn't come on, an electrician came and replaced the electrical box. He was proficient. The only problem was I didn't receive anything other than the name of the company and American Home Shield didn't follow up with me. They said I will hear from the company but I ended up reaching out to the company. I used American Home Shield when I got my microwave and when I had a dryer issue, and they said the same - someone was gonna reach out to me but they didn't. Once I finally called, everything started running.

    The microwave was the worst experience. Whoever they sent out didn't do the measurement. They realized what was wrong with the microwave but couldn't replace it. Microwaves are something that people need and use every day. To be without a microwave that long was horrible, to a point that I needed another person. But other than that, the people that American Home Shield subcontracts with are fine. They are professional. They come to do their job and show up the time that they say they're gonna show up.

We've had plumbing problems. It took them days to get out while we have a backed-up toilet. So, we've had to stay in a hotel. Another plumber has come and looked at our washing machine.

It’s just frustrating that I have to keep calling these vendors to get them to come out ‘cause I don't think they wanna work with warranty companies.

    It was a emergent situation, and American Home Shield was able to get Prime Plumbing to come out within a couple of hours from when I submitted the claim. I had a significant hot water pipe burst in the walls near my hot water heater. They were able to get the damaged piece extracted and replaced within a short amount of time. They were extremely helpful. There were two of them that showed up. They were very attentive to the problem and very informative as they were diagnosing and troubleshooting all of the issues. They were able to get in and out in a pretty good timeline, which was in less than an hour. Working with American Home Shield for this particular deal was efficient and Prime Plumbing did a great job at addressing the issue.

    For the most part, American Home Shield has been decent about providing the coverage on the warranty. I've had a couple of issues where it wasn't clear what the coverage extended to because it was a little bit general in the contract. This instance with Prime Plumbing worked out well but the instance I had in my last plumbing issue did not. There was some work that needed to be done, and the contractor that was working in my home needed to get additional approval, which took over a week for them to get back to me. For that time, I had no water in my home.

    With American Home Shield, you just can't just fire and forget. Originally, they would give me a selection of contractors that I could work with. That way, I would be able to do a Google search on them and figure out who is it that has the best reputation. But they have since done away with that. Once you submit a claim, be very diligent in making sure that the claim gets addressed. If it's an emergent situation or you get assigned a contractor and they don't have a good reputation, stay heavily engaged. American Home Shield doesn't do everything. They just are facilitators, and you still have to be involved with the process.

    My first claim with American Home Shield was good. But with my second claim, they were just tacking on a lot of fees. I'm confused about why that was not covered. I'm hoping that I'm spending my home warranty is going to be worth it. I need a new water heater. The contractor was saying that there are limitations and there are other modifications that need to happen in order for something to go in. I'm trying to understand why all this is necessary. They were saying, “Now you need a new pipe. And now you need a new this and this. And that's gonna cost you $100 here, $100 this. It's gonna come out to $1,100.” American Home Shield is not paying for that. I thought the whole point was that that's covered because I'm paying a nice amount every month to my home warranty. That's a little bit frustrating. Maybe it's because I'm a new homeowner so I'm not as familiar.

    Also, the person you talk to when you have these things should have the information ready. They should expect that a customer is gonna ask basic questions. When I asked what the other options were if we are not going to use the contractor, I was told they have cash options. I asked how much the cash was going to be and the rep didn't have that information. Right now, I'm in the thick of it and I have to spend that money. I can't have this drag on. There’s a water heater that is gonna leak in my basement and I'm gonna have more damage. I asked the rep, “Can you give me a list of all the things that you’re saying are needed and how much they would cost? And what the brand is of the water heater they're going to use.” She said that was gonna have to come from the contractor.

    I got this email today and American Home Shield is making me choose an option. They're making me make a decision in 10 days. But I don't have the information in order for me to make an educated decision. They haven't given me the information that I would use. It’s been 24 hours and I haven't gotten a list of the stuff. I was given two options. One is to replace with a contractor. The other is reimbursement and that's up to $870, which is crazy. That is not going to get me a water heater. If American Home Shield is gonna give me a number, they should give one that makes sense. I'm not going to find a good contract to replace it for under 800. On the whole, a company has to have a good business model in order to be worthwhile. At the minimum, I would want good service right away so we can make efficient productive phone calls and decisions instead of having to wait and not put pressure on me to make and give them an answer.

    I bought this house a year ago and the appliances were here. There were all kinds of stuff in the outtake filter. The gentleman came on a Sunday, which was terrific. He was very nice and professional. He found change, little vials of eye drops, and all kinds of things stuck in that filter so the water couldn't drain. The change was so corroded. He tried a few things. First, he wanted a towel so he wouldn't mess up the floor. I've used American Home Shield's services twice and I've been very satisfied both times. The two service people that came were very nice and they fixed the job. The only thing was I requested a copy of the contract and I haven't received that yet.

    The contractors get out pretty quick usually. A couple of years ago, I had a claim when it seemed that it took a while before they got out. They had to order parts and I had to wait again. This last time wasn't so bad. One tech came for the washer and one for the dishwasher. Both of the guys knew what they were doing. One guy had to order some parts, but he got them within a week or so, which wasn’t a problem for the appliance because it was still usable. The other guy fixed the problem when he got here. That was good.

    The coverage is good so far and they've taken care of everything that needed to be taken care of. But AHS should not have so much time in between when the issue is reported to when it's actually fixed. The last two times were fine. But the time before that, it was a pretty slow process.

    We had a light switch, which cracked internally and shorted out. The whole light system didn't work. The repair guy came in and replaced that faulty switch, and everything was back in order again. That was outstanding. He had that fixed in five minutes, and he taught me a bit about the circuit box and showed me the light switch and the things to look out for. That guy was really good and very knowledgeable.

    American Home Shield has always been pretty fast to respond, and the contractors that they send have always been professional and got the job done right, whether it's for plumbing, electricity or even work on the well. I have a residential well, and these people show up. They're efficient, know what they're doing, and teach me a few things. Everybody's happy.

    I dropped Sears in favor of Home Shield a long time ago. I compared the two, and even though Sears' guys knew what they were doing, they were slow. Some of them had to come from 70 miles away. With Home Shield, they're all local fellows of good repute and they come in and do the job. I would recommend them. In fact, I have them covering two homes.

    In our recent claim with AHS, the garbage disposal seemed to be leaking. A young man came out and he fixed it. It was fine. But previous to that, we had a toilet that wasn't set right. The plumbing and the pipe seemed to be loosened up. We called American Home Shield, and they sent out Plumbers Inc. and the same young man as the last time came out. He said that the pipe had to be sheared, cut a little bit, and they'd have to put a different collar on it. He fixed it temporarily, but he needed to get parts. It was an additional charge to do what he needed to do. They called American Home Shield, and they denied it. I had to pay $185 out of pocket, after I already paid $75 for the service call for my deductible.

    I tried to call American Home Shield to resolve this to see why they denied it. But I got a runaround. I couldn't talk to a supervisor. I could only talk to the call center, and God knows where that is. I was aggravated. But right at the moment, I don't have time to shop for a new company to pay my insurance to. So we let it go for now. But we've had AHS since April of '19 in this unit. We had just moved in. We got that for a year from the previous owner. But we requested American Home Shield because we had used them in our other condo before we moved here. We had them for four years.

    The whirlpool tub wasn't getting any hot water and the initial request was on the 17th of January. I didn't hear anything from the company, so I reached out to them around the 20th of January. They said they could come out on the 3rd of February, but they never came. I called American Home Shield again and they said to give them another day. I gave them another day till the 4th of February but they still never showed up. I called American Home Shield and asked if they could transfer it to a new company. They said I had to wait three days for it to be escalated. I waited three days and called back. On the 4th, they said the company would be there on the 7th of February, but the company never showed. They never rescheduled with me on the 4th or for the 7th and American Home Shield never said anything.

    On the 7th, I called American Home Shield to let them know that that contractor still had never showed. They told me, again, I had to wait three more days before they could escalate it to the next level for it to be changed. I called them again on the 10th. I finally got fed up and told them I was gonna leave. I called back again the following week and another rep said I had to wait three more days. I told them I've waited almost a month, and the problem still wasn’t resolved. Every time I called American Home Shield, they told me I had to wait three, four days.

    It was on the 17th of February that they gave me Metropolitan Plumbing. Metropolitan Plumbing then called me on the 18th to confirm the 21st of February, which was a holiday. I was surprised they were coming out on a holiday. Metropolitan also called me again on the 20th to confirm them coming out on the 21st.

    My experience with American Home Shield is terrible. I had leaks in my laundry room from my pipe and my master bedroom faucet, and my garbage disposal was not working. I called American Home Shield and paid my $100. A plumber came out but never looked at my garbage disposal. He went down in the basement and looked at the laundry room. But when I called, I told him there was a leak in my pipe. He never looked at that. When he went back, he said he was going outside but would come back in. He turned my water off, never came back in, and left my water off.

    When I called Top Notch Plumbing back, they said that they had to call American Home Shield and get authorization. I waited and waited but they never called back. When I got a email from American Home Shield saying that they denied the guy, they said something was stuck in it. I asked how was something stuck when he never even looked at it? For the laundry room faucet, they denied that because one of the handles was broken. That was fine but the leak in my laundry room was not coming from the basement, it was coming from the pipes. He took a picture of that and they never even mentioned anything about that. I asked them for a second opinion and I've been waiting for the second opinion from Mays Plumbing since.

    Last year was the first time I used American Home Shield for my air conditioner. Their contractor came out about three or four times but it never was completely fixed it. Also, whatever they did with the air conditioner messed up the furnace. They had to come back to that. When you call, you can't get anyone but someone out of the country. I've been waiting for a supervisor to call me, but I haven't gotten that. My water bill is $3,600 and I'm paying American Home Shield a service. They don't have a problem with taking my money, but they have a problem with coming taking care of my issues. I have my pipes and everything that's covered. At this point, I'm gonna get my lawyer involved. I don't understand how they are still in business.

    American Home Shield is great and responsive. When our heat went out, we had Fast Response Heating come out within a couple of days. They got it fixed. But it went out again. So we called Fast Response Heating because they said that they did a 30-day warranty on any work that they did. They came out again and figured out that the entire system had failed, which we were expecting was going to happen at some point because it was almost 45 years old. But they didn’t make parts for it anymore. Fast Response Heating decided the unit needed to be replaced two days ago and then we got our new system put in yesterday.

    Fast Response Heating was great. They’ve answered all the questions we had. They explained everything to me. They told us something about our outside unit that no one had told us. We have large dogs, one of which is a male that likes to pee on everything, and him peeing on the old outside unit started corroding the coils inside of the system, which I didn't even know was a thing. So they showed us that, explained it all, and told us different ways that we could make it so the dog can't get to the outside unit so it doesn't happen to the new one.

The only thing that was unfortunate -- and I kept getting a phone call from another country to try to follow through because she could never get the answer -- is I have a heat pump, and it wasn't clear when I bought the service that that wasn't covered for any services. That was disappointing when that wasn't clear because that's my source of much of my heat and cooling. Many people are getting these. They're called splits and this is a Daikin.

    There was condensation buildup on my ceiling furnace that ended up turning to a large pool of water inside of one of the PVC pipes. The technician from McCormick came and explained that to me. He ended up shock-vacuuming out most of the water and resetting the furnace. He got it back running and he was great. But he said that the issue that caused that water buildup was going to be a recurring one, so I need that to get fixed. I reached out to American Home Shield and I'm waiting for them to respond to me about a technician coming to fix that and I haven't heard from anyone.

    If you put the oven's temperature past 375, the broiler or grill up top would come on and it burns everything before cooking. The tech came out and took a look at it. He said we needed a part and he ordered it. Then he came back, put it in, and everything's been fine since. He also checked the clothes dryer while he was here at the time. The settings would not go past 20 minutes of drying time and he changed the switch. But he also had to order the part and he fixed both appliances on the same day. All in all, American Home Shield's claims process is pretty simple and efficient. I'm thrilled about it. I called them out a few times and they scheduled services for me. The techs also called the half-hour before they arrive or to make sure I'm home.

    I had a plumbing issue and everything went well. The tech that AHS sent out was very professional, very friendly, and courteous. He changed out my garbage disposal because it was leaking from the bottom and he changed out my toilet upstairs since the flapper was bad. From the time I put in the claim until the repairs were done, it took about two days and the tech did a great job. I also had an issue one time with my washer and I left the claim information over the voicemail, but the reps input it as a dryer issue. So I had a really big problem trying to get them to understand that I never mentioned my dryer, I only mentioned the washer. Then, I had an issue with my bathtub and I simply was so honest with the lady. I told her that my fiberglass in my bathtub had a crack in it and asked if they covered that. She put me on hold for a moment and when she came back to the phone, she said they covered it and that I just had to pay my $100 deductible.

    So, I paid the $100 deductible and the service company came out. The guy walked upstairs and in 30 seconds, he came downstairs and said it was not covered. He said that the AHS rep did not put it on the record that there was a hole in the fiberglass. It was a huge issue. I had to fight with AHS to get my $100 deductible back and it took about three weeks to get my $100 back. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend AHS. After the first year that I got the warranty, the very second year, they raised my premium twice in one year and they never told me that they were going to raise it.

I like American Home Shield's deductibles, and all of my experiences have been pretty good.

    Tom Melton Services was very professional and explained everything. When we got all that heavy rain, a drain in the floor in my basement backed up. The plumber come out. He tried plunging at first, and it broke it loose. But we were running water through the pipes to make sure it wasn't leaking, and I looked over and told him, "Isn't that leaking on the wall?" He said it was and he took pictures of everything that was there and where it was leaking. When he went back, he told them they needed another work order so they could come out and address that problem.

    The next guy that came out told me what they had to do, what it would cost and called American Home Shield. Because the pipe is in a concrete wall, they refused to cover it. I don't understand as all my plumbing is right there in the open, in the basement. I've got a sewer line that's leaking, and I paid for some insurance that I thought was supposed to cover those kinds of problems, which apparently it doesn't.

    American Home Shield is 100% better than our previous provider. I wanted things looked at and my previous provider wanted to see inspections of the house before I bought it. It was just ridiculous. It seemed like they wanted a reason to not have to pay. I stopped using them completely as it was a waste of money. We started with American Home Shield in January because I moved into a new house and they've been great. When we moved in, we had appliances here and we had no idea if they were working or not. They looked like they were until we went to use them and found out there was something wrong with them.

    We've had somebody out here three times with American Home Shield. One call alone would have equalled what the one-year payment was. We get plenty of calls and notifications when somebody's coming. The only thing I have a problem with was when our refrigerator needed to be repaired. It was canceled four times. They told us the day before that they wouldn't be coming. That took a month. A guy came out today. When I had called a month ago, we had a fan in the back that was making a lot of noise. If it was something that really affected the refrigerator more than it did, I would have called American Home Shield and complained about it.

    Other than that, I've been really happy. Since the repair, the fan stopped making the noise. The tech ordered six parts of the fan stuff because it was frozen. The techs I've had have been professional and clean. They're very knowledgeable, polite and friendly. When the guy came out for the washer, he offered to clean the dryer for me. It was $50, which was fine. It's nice that they offer that little extra when they're here. I'm gonna go ahead and sign up for the home warranty next year again.

    American Home Shield's claim process was simple. I've been calling the number and I discovered the online portion, which is even easier. They sent out JG and they were awesome. It took them a couple of days because they had to order all the equipment. But they were here initially within one or two days and they were here on time. The job took them right up to the estimated time they thought and they didn't stop working. They pushed through until it was finished. We had an older system. There was a leak with our AC that they found. They also fixed that, which is what took a little bit of time. When looking for coverage, consider a full spectrum on your older appliances with a simple deductible. I was always skeptical about the warranties. But it's worked for us and it saved us so much time and money.

    The repairman couldn't find where the leak was coming from, so he referred it to Warrior Restoration and it was resolved. Warrior Restoration tore up my bathroom, my room and the room beneath me, and now I'm just waiting to get everything back in. Overall, American Home Shield responds real quick to whatever issue I have. Most things are fixed fairly quickly, and they've done a good job. I can't complain.

    Things start to break down the longer you use them, and it's a lot cheaper to have a home warranty come in, figure it out and get it done. One time though, I had an air conditioning central pump repaired. American Home Shield didn't tell me there are certain parts that they don't cover. That was probably in the fine print that I didn't read, but I ended up having to come out of my pocket quite a bit for that issue.

    Some of my experiences with American Home Shield have been good and some of it have been bad. It's nice that I can go on the computer, set a claim up and American Home Shield sends somebody right away. But some of it depends on the contractor. A contractor came and fixed the doorbell in one shot. But I'm not happy about the furnace. The technician said that he thought it was the circuit board. He was going to order a circuit board and I asked when it was going to come. He said he didn't know and he had no responsibility for that.

    I called the next day and asked American Home Shield how long it was going to take. They said they'd already ordered it and the part was supposed to be in on March 3rd then the contractor should call me and bring it out. I called again a few days later and when I looked on the computer screen, it said that the furnace was closed. I asked what was up with the part. The rep called the technician and the technician told her that the part was supposed to be in in five to seven days. I was a little confused because it was supposed to be here that day. The rep said she didn't see any notes. We're at seven business days, but I haven't heard anything and I'm mad.

    For the dishwasher, they wouldn't fix it because it had evidence of cockroaches. They didn't tell us that when Aygo came out and filled out the paperwork. They just said the circuit board was blown. They should have said that when they were giving us the paper about what they thought was wrong with it. Also, the Aygo scheduling lady is a knucklehead because she scheduled me a video call and an in-person call, but the scheduling times were the wrong times.

    So far, American Home Shield is wonderful. This is our first year them and the nice thing that I noticed is we have a local company, Vilandre, which they go through. They are our favorite. They're the fastest and the most responsive. With the other company, it was an out-of-town service people. Sometimes, they’d make it, sometimes, they wouldn't. I like the quickness of American Home Shield to get people in. It was 20 below and our furnace was out. The next day was when it was approved and Vilandre was contacted. We're very happy with that. The people on the phone are very helpful too.

    The faucet was broken and the tech from A Town Group diagnosed that there was a leak, which was outrageous and it seemed suspicious. I'm trying to get somebody else to come out. Other than that, AHS seems to be okay. It's more affordable to have a home warranty service.

    When I had five faucets that were leaking, American Home Shield told me they'd get someone out by the next day. It was fairly quick after that. In a day or two, a plumber came out and assessed the situation. He said he needed to get a new faucet which I had to pay for. The one in the kitchen had to be replaced. He came back about two days later and did the work. I was happy with my experience. But the copay’s a bit expensive. For this job, I would have probably paid less than that to have a plumber come.

    AHS has covered what we needed done and the people that they've sent seem to be adequate. Our washers started making a strange noise when it was spinning. We called and they sent out somebody. The tech tightened something up and that worked for one load and then it was still making noise. They came back and they did other stuff. It worked for a couple of times but we weren't using it very often because we were gone and then it started being really horrible. AHS said we have to have a whole new claim and pay again. We're calling back the same people who said to call back if there was any problem. Why do we have to pay again? But they ended up not charging us twice. That was very nice. The contractor replaced the whole thing and now we're waiting to see if that really worked because I noticed yesterday when I used the washer that it's starting to make strange noises again.

    For my claim with AHS, my microwave wasn't coming on. I had someone come out. However, it wasn't covered. So I just had them check and make sure there were no issues with my electrical unit. I'm still waiting on my washing machine, which has been numerous months now. It was working. However, it was making this little noise. I had them come out and check it. They needed several parts. They had the parts come but said it wasn't the correct part. They did some grinding down of the bottom of the machine, taking pieces off to make it fit. Then they came out again with what they assumed to be the correct part. That, apparently, did not work because the machine sounded like it was about to come through the floor. It just makes so much noise, more than before they came. They said it was another part that was missing. The company came out last week and said, “It was a different part.” That’s where it is now.

    We had two plumbing issues - one was a faucet valve that was not delivering any hot water and the other is that the end of the hose where we switch between a water stream and jets in the kitchen sink broke. I filed a claim on the website and it was easy to use. Northwest Sundance Services came out and they were great. They've come to my home a number of times and they are always professional and come when they say they're going to come. But American Home Shield's contractors can be horrible, as well, and I let them know when I have problems.

    Also, a complex claim is not great with AHS. I had a refrigerator where a part that was covered failed, but another part that was still under a long-term warranty wasn't covered because of that. I just bought a new fridge because getting the two coverages to coordinate was going to be utterly impossible. And their customer service group is offshored and doesn't have authority to do stuff. It's really challenging. But that only happens once in a blue moon.

It was a very old water heater. They came out, assessed it, and said that they figured that might happen. They ended up getting us a new one. It took a couple weeks for them to get out, but they fixed it enough to where it worked for us until they were able to come out. They had to confirm that it needed to be replaced and they had to go through Home Depot to order what they needed to. When the parts came in, they came out and did what they had to.

    A & M Plumbing went to the pipe outside, and they couldn't get it unclogged. So, they told me I had to go to, SAWS, the local water system because they said that most likely, the clog was on their side. So, I had them come out, which they did, but they said there was nothing on their side. I had to pay for A & M to come back. They came out to do the visual scope. They put the thing in, and they were able to clear my pipe with this pressure hose. Once it was cleared, then they put their camera in and they said my pipe is not broken, but it shifted down and the PVC pipe and the old pipe are not aligned. So, that was why it clogged up. It's working fine now.

    I've been with American Home Shield since I bought this house in December of 2014. So, I've been paying them for about 300 a year. The times I called them out, they couldn't help me. They didn't even snake the drains either. I've called them out twice, and both times, there was nothing that they could do. It wasn't covered. I'm about to put in a claim to come out and fix the ceiling fan, and I'll probably have to have another plumber come out and snake the drain for the washing machine.

    My husband has been a little bit frustrated because the calls to American Home Shield go directly offshore and lately, he's trying to get a complete explanation. We've had a couple of issues where it required additional work, and in trying to get clarification as to what was required and why it was required, he wasn't able to really get that information from some of them.

    Recently, we just had to have a hot water heater replaced. He made three calls and then I ended up turning around making another call. Finally, I was able to get someone that could explain everything as to what the prices were, what was being done, what they were not covering, and what they were covering. It came up to 2,000 and some dollars and we were going to have to pay 1,000 and something of it. So, when you're doing something like that, you want to be able to understand what you're paying, and what's covered and what's not. One person told him they were going to check into it. It takes a while sometimes to get on the line with somebody. So then, he was holding and all of a sudden, he was disconnected from them. Now, the person has already gone over with you your number, your information, and you don't get a callback.

    The second time, he called someone and they were looking over it. They said we were going to have to pay $1,000 exactly. At first, it was denied. So, we were like, "It's denied. Well, what do we do from there?" With that call, I had to actually end up calling the company and asking them, "Hey, can you tell us? Do you know how this works?" The lady was like, "Yes. You have to call them back and tell them that you're going to accept the information." But my husband had spoken to somebody and they were like, "Well, it's denied." We were like, "Why is it denied?" We weren't given that information.

    We had someone out 11 days before for our garbage disposal. Now, they told me it was some metal in it. I didn't see the metal, but they used some kind of little tool that unfroze it. He said, "Okay. It's good." I don't know that there's metal in there. My husband was saying unless maybe the garbage disposal is starting to deteriorate or mess up. We had to call in last week to have someone come back out again to check the garbage disposal. This person who came out was like, "There's plastic in it." I didn't see the plastic either. He said he had to push the plastic through, but it unfroze. So both times, I haven't seen what they were saying is in there. So, my husband was like, "Well, we're paying a monthly charge for this. We're not expecting to have to keep calling you guys back out for this garbage disposal." We were told, "Well, that's not considered a regular wear and tear." We don't know if we need to look at another home warranty company.

He came in, looked at the job, and said he was gonna have to order something then come back. He never called after so much time he left. I called him back and he said he got the part in and that he would give me a call when he came by. I fixed the issue myself then called him back to tell him, “Just forget it.” He had me pretty well worn out with his attitude and not keeping his appointments, and not calling me back on the phone.

    When I needed some work done, I called American Home Shield and I asked told them, “Please don't send me any people that work out of their car or out of their home. Send me somebody that's a legitimate business in whatever I need, like, electrical, plumbing, or whatever, and make sure they're listed with the Better Business Bureau.

American Home Shield found somebody for me here where I live and they said they were listed with the Better Business Bureau. They did a good job and they took care of me. The tech went above and beyond what he was supposed to do.

    American Home Shield seems to understand what I'm saying when I call and I have to remind them to send me someone that works for a legitimate company listed with the BBB. That's what I'm gonna continue to do when I need work because I'm tired of some of these people that they send.

    We had a washing machine problem and the techs who came in did an excellent job. They were very knowledgeable and professional. The claims process with AHS was pretty easy and very good. I just got online and they had almost a perfect form. All you do is click and click, then send it in. The next thing you know, you're getting a response back from whoever the contractor is and they're setting up an appointment. In the past, we had a leaking faucet and we got somebody promptly on that, but the drip wasn't fixed. But we knew it was fixed temporarily. As soon as the techs left, it started leaking again, so I called them back and they came back and took care of it. So, sometimes you have problems and sometimes you'll look at the contractor and how they resolved the problem. But overall, they did a pretty good job on that.

    Other than that, people need to look at the fine print because AHS doesn't cover a lot of things that you're surprised about and you don't get it until later. For instance, if you have a piece of equipment that's 30 years old, they tend not to fix. They try to fix it but a lot of times, there are no parts and they will just say it's beyond its lifespan.

    I had some plumbing issues with my toilets. And all of them either flushed too slow or they were backed up. The app has its quirks. It’s confusing because they don't really tell you if this particular thing would be covered. It just says toilets or plumbing. And it doesn't really say that this particular thing I wanted would be a covered deal. So, I ended up having to call. It was cool because I already placed the order. I just asked a couple of questions. And the girl that I talked to was thorough. Colorado First came out, used different tools, and they got my toilets working. The guy that I talked to was young but he knew what he was doing. Whenever I want to replace my toilets, I'm gonna give them a call back so they can do that. After the guy came out, we had to pay that flat rate and I was, “This is something that my friends probably need to know about.”

    As a Realtor, I don't generally deal with the claims process. I typically just tell my clients to make sure that they read the details and make sure that they're aware of what's excluded from the policy. A lot of times, titles can be misleading them, thinking that plumbing or electrical is included or certain things. American Home Shield's service seems fine. I know a couple other clients that I've referred for warranties, and they've never had anything bad to say. If they're happy, I'm happy.

    For some reason though, AHS has never been able to update the contact information for my client's house. I have asked them a couple of times to update, and that hasn't happened. In the last year that she's owned the home, every time she's attempted to use the warranty, the contact is always coming through me. This includes phone calls, emails, and vendors trying to reach out to get out to the property and do the work.

    Fidelity Appliances did the washing machine. They told me that the reason it was doing what it was doing was because the bearings were going out in it. The bearings were going to be too expensive to replace so I got an approval to purchase a new washing machine. I did so and got a check from American Home Shield in that exact amount. However, I have a claim in for my hot water heater, and I need to get cashed out on it. I told American Home Shield I was going to hire a contractor to put a tankless water heater in and that was what I did.

    I recently talked to them about my cashout and all they kept telling me was they finally went to a higher power. But all they told me before was, "We never got a quote from the contractor." I told them, "You hired the contractor. You need to hold them accountable for getting that quote, and not to mention you've done millions of hot water heater replacements. You have enough quotes to compare and to figure out what one costs. You can take some number in the middle of your millions of quotes and pay me out." The contractors have been good minus the ones that looked at my hot water heater. I've had them over here many times and they're shady. I told them, "I need you to give American Home Shield the price to replace the tank water heater. I want to go tankless and I'll get a price from you guys to go tankless." Their price was ridiculous and they never turned in a price to American Home Shield.

    We had some issues with the septic tank. The technicians were good. They had to come back. I had to call them a second time and let them know that after the first time they came, the issue came right back. Having the warranty with American Home Shield is a plus and a minus. It’s good as a backup plan so that you don't have as much to pay out for expenses, but the negative side is if they don't find a vendor or a contractor you want to come out and do a service.

    With AHS, I don't have to find the right people for the job. They do all the legwork. Recently, the garbage disposal wasn't working and a couple of faucets were leaking. The tech got out in a reasonable amount of time. The disposal was replaced but they didn't do anything with faucets because the water pressure was too high and that caused the leak.

    When I signed up with AHS, it was no problem at all. Then one day, they just lifted the price unannounced to me. I wasn't even given advanced notice. It was the same service except the price was different. They did that because they could. At that point, it was my choice to discontinue the service or keep paying a higher price. It would have been a lot better if an email would have gone out to all the customers saying, "Because of these reasons, we must increase the price."

    I've never had to wait too long with AHS. My last claim was a furnace issue. I did it on Sunday night and come Monday morning, I got a phone call. The contractor, Connect Service, was out on Monday afternoon. The tech was informative and showed me a few things I can do for maintenance. Another claim was when we had the furnace replaced two years ago. We had issues with it. It still wasn't working right after it was installed and we just dealt directly with the installers. They had to come out three times until they got it fixed properly and there was no extra charge for that.

    The only thing I didn't like was we had a plumbing issue in the wall behind the sink but the plumber only does plumbing. I had to get a contractor in there to cut the wall, had the plumber come in and do his work, and then had the contractor fix the wall again. Other than that, AHS has saved me money. Also, they have specials, usually, during the spring to have an inspection and a tune-up done on your central air unit. They do that in the winter or the fall for the furnaces too.

    American Home Shield's contractors have gone above and beyond. After the freeze last year, we had a plumber come out because the water wasn't draining. Then, he had to come back out a couple of weeks later because it was backing up again in the sink. He was able to finally clean it out the second time. Most recently, we had Dill Appliance come out for the dryer. It was making a super loud screeching noise. The tech said one of the belts needed to be replaced and he ordered the part. It came in a few weeks later and they called back to schedule an appointment to install it. He came in on a Saturday and he was there for 20 minutes putting the new belt in. It worked fine and it doesn't make the horrible screeching noise anymore.

    We recommend American Home Shield to friends. We have not ever had any problems and for any questions, we just pick up the phone and call the 1-800 number or I go online. Then, they would reach out to me and send the right person out to the house. It's like an extra layer of protection to me and to be able to have that kind of calm knowing that someone else has my back is really good for me.

    I've been with American Home Shield for many years, and I'm very disappointed. I had a microwave issue and they sent a technician out who looked at it and saw what he needed to replace to make it work. Later on, he advised us that the part was not available, which meant that we were going to have to get a new one. I contacted American Home Shield, and they said, "Oh, no problem. We'll get you a new one." They sent me an email and said, "These look like they would fit your need." The rep gave me several different ones to look at. So I selected one, then American Home Shield sent an email saying it would be delivered by a trucking company, Big Box Truck.

    Big Box Truck showed up, took a box out, brought the unit in, and the technician started measuring things. He said, "This won't fit. It's not even close," and he left and took the unit with him. I called American Home Shield and said, "Ma'am, I need to talk to management or somebody that's going to help me with this." The rep put me on hold for 31 minutes, so I hung up. Later on, I called back again, and again, the young lady I talked to said, "Well, I'm in the Philippines. I can't help you. I'll put you through to somebody else." I said, "Ma'am, I really need to talk to somebody."

    Finally, a lady came on and she said, "Well, you got to pay $100 because that one has to go back." I said, "What do you mean I got to pay $100?" "Well, you selected it." "Well, yeah, that's one of the ones you sent to me. You said that these would fit and it did not. And I'm not paying $100." That is the most terrible company I've ever had to deal with and I've been dealing a long time. The lady said she'd put me through to somebody else, a higher level, and again, I was on hold 20 minutes. My phone went dead waiting, and I have not called back. That was a few days ago.

    When I got the survey, I was really disappointed. Because if you send the wrong item to my house that won't fit and I'm going to pay $100 to have it taken back, no way, Jose. I am not a happy camper and I am going to switch to another company at the earliest opportunity I have. I am researching now because American Home Shield did not help me. Absolutely do not go with them. Their company is out of California, but every time you call a work order in, some lady in the Philippines answers and half the time, you can't understand them. You want to deal with a company that you can understand the language, English. Also, when I ask to speak to management, don't put me on hold and hang up. That's not customer service.

    I've had the worst experience with American Home Shield in over 10 years I've been using them. Right now, I'm incredibly disappointed with it and I'm very unhappy. It's been absolutely miserable. My furnace went out and I contacted them. They sent a company out and that company did a little bit of work, came back, and replaced the part the next day. The furnace worked for about two days and failed again. I contacted American Home Shield and said I needed them to work on it. They assigned the same vendor to it and I ended up trying to contact that vendor for the next two days -- email, phone, and text messages. They never responded to me at all. When I contacted American Home Shield, they told me I need to wait for the vendor to reply. I asked how long would I have to wait and they said I just need to wait. But it was my furnace and it was winter.

    I asked it to be escalated and no one from American Home Shield responded to me. I contacted my own vendor who came out and said the inducer motor is blown. They replaced the part the same day and I have my furnace working again. I contacted American Home Shield because I waited a week and no one ever contacted me. I asked for reimbursement of the motor and they said their policy is not to reimburse if I used another service. This was the most horrific experience I've ever had with them. But I've looked up the information on the site and read about how we have to go about an official dispute. I'm working on filling out that paperwork to get reimbursed for the $1,200 I had to spend to replace the inducer motor.

    Then, the furnace blower motor blew out a week ago. They assigned the same vendor to do it again and it took me two days to get ahold of them. I had to call American Home Shield and beg them to assign another company but they refused. The company did contact me, though, came out, and said that the blower motor’s burnt out. But I recently had some remodeling work done on the basement. There was a panel that doesn't affect access to the blower motor and they couldn't get into there. They said they were not going to repair the blower motor until I move that, which would require rotating the furnace or tearing out a wall.

    It's gonna take me weeks or months to get that change made and I need heat. I begged them to replace the blower motor and they said it will just burn out again but they promised they would take care of it. They ordered the blower on Friday and scheduled to replace it today. They just called me and said they didn't hear back on the part and they would let me know when they get it. I'm now coming up on a week and a half with no heat. I am actively recommending no one use American Home Shield. As soon as I get this arbitration settled, I'm going to stop using it.

If AHS paid their vendors better, then they could have better vendors that stayed with them instead of constantly having somebody new and having to use people from far away.

    When American Home Shield sends somebody out, they’re fine. Sometimes, it takes them a while to send people out.

I thought it was because of COVID, so I really didn’t think much of it other than it’s an inconvenience.

    I asked them to do a microwave for me. The first time they brought the microwave out, the guys dropped the microwave. So, they had to go get another one. They took a while to get that. Then when they tried to come back, they couldn’t get it installed because of my house. After that, they ended up sending somebody else. He said he couldn’t get it installed because of the house. Another person from InterTech that was doing some work on my refrigerator said it’s a real simple thing, but you just have to do a little more work or be more of a handyman.

    I called American Home Shield. I called the people that did the work on my house to see if I could get them out here, and nobody really could help. I ended up calling a friend of mine who was also a handyman. He came out and installed my microwave a week ago yesterday. So, that went on for at least two months.

He didn't even check it out. A friend told me to hire someone else and they told me the Nest wiring wasn’t done correctly. So, the air conditioner guy gave the wrong answer to any of the questions. American Home Shield should be more flexible. The air conditioner is a unit. It can be a heater too. So, my mistake is I didn't say heater. But they both weren't working. It was gonna take the tech a minute to check out the heater too. Still, people should take a home warranty. In the four years I’ve had AHS in my home in LA, I've never used it.

    I called American Home Shield and they picked Patriot, who did an excellent job. The toilet was fixed where the water would stop running. They did what they said they were gonna do. My water bill had jumped up because the water was running and the repair saved my water bill. American Home Shield was good the one time I used them.

    American Home Shield is awesome. They're prompt and they've met my needs whenever something was not right with pricing. I had an issue with getting charged for something twice and I called. They took care of it right away. Also, I do maintenance all the time with a company that I liked because they do that really well. I wanted them to fix something instead of the other company that had originally been assigned. So, I called AHS and said, "Hey, I really would prefer this other company." and they took care of that right away.

    Their customer service has become something that is 100% foreigners and they don't understand a lot of what I'm saying. The most recent claim that I tried to make was for my gas log fireplace. The surround on that has got a blower to blow the heat out into the room and that blower started making a bad racket this season. I called them up and I said I would like to see about getting someone out to fix that. The rep I talked to couldn't understand and I had to go through that I cannot tell you how many times. Finally, the girl tried to reassure me that she knew what she was talking about. In the end, she assigned somebody who called to make an appointment to come out to my house to fix my gas furnace. I don't have a gas furnace. I have a gas log fireplace, which they don't do so they canceled the order.

    The next thing I know, they have someone else calling me for an appointment and it was the same thing. I've been calling in between and saying I have gas log fireplace. I had to keep saying it over and over again and always to foreign people. Finally, I just told them to cancel it altogether. They canceled it, but not before they took out the money from my account as if someone had been to my house. Here I am a month later and I'm still having to argue with them about this and trying to get my money back. The last time I spoke to someone, they said it should be 12 to 14 business days. I had to wait until this week and it should have been in there by today and nothing. I'm really upset because they're forcing me to have to call back and forth. Also, I have requested someone that speaks better English and can understand what I'm saying but never have I spoken to an English-speaking person. That was not something they could do.

    I've had good experiences in the past and I love Home Shield's plan. I love that I can get the whole home -- that means my appliances, everything that's important, and everything that can break down and cost an arm and a leg to replace. We've had our heating system fixed I don't know how many times. We have a unit up in our attic and one outside and they have maintained all of that for us over the years. It's a great thing and all new homeowners should get it. Their customer service has just gone all the way downhill.

    Our microwave in our kitchen, above the stove, went bad. We called American Home Shield and my wife talked to them about getting a technician. The tech showed before the time he said on up the day he said he was gonna show up. It threw me off guard, but he was really good and professional. I would definitely use him again. On the other hand, American Home Shield's customer support is both good and bad. It depends on who you talk to and the situation.

    Having a home warranty has a lot of pros and cons. The pro of it is that you have a peace of mind knowing that if something breaks in your house, it will be covered. The con of it is, not everything that's inside of your house, under it or things that come to it is covered under American Home Shield. That's a huge drawback. The plumbing that goes from under your house is not covered. Because that's a huge headache for homeowners that if a pipe bust that’s not inside of the house, you’re on your own with that. We found that out in the worst way.

    We thought that American Home Shield would be something that will protect us. I just got out of the military, and if I wasn't here when a lot of stuff had happened with the house, if my wife was here by herself or if I was on deployment, it would be devastating for her to have to deal with that and have to deal with somebody when she doesn't know what's going on.

    I got assigned somebody for my plumbing issue and the confirmation email said that they would contact me within 24 hours, but they didn't. It was several days. I'd gotten an email from this place that they had said that they were going to assign to me, and it said, "We want to know how your service went. We're following up with you." I went, "They've never been here. I don't understand." I called American Home Shield and told them what happened. I also said, "I don't want to deal with them. I'd like to be assigned someone else." I also had already gotten verification that this first company had charged me on my credit card. I said, "I want to be sure that I'm not charged twice." She said I wouldn't be.

    The second company they assigned me to then acted admirably. I was happy with that. He knew immediately what it was. He went to his truck, got the part and replaced it. He was here for 15 minutes. However, I have a really high deductible of $100 with AHS. I also kept getting emails after I'd had American Home Shield for a few months going and already used the service. It makes me wonder if it's a fraud email.

    I had a leak and an overflow in the upstairs bathroom and it came through the ceiling. Water was pouring out of my exhaust vent and my light in the ceiling. Highway Plumbing came out and fixed it. Then, they asked if they could cut a small hole so they could make sure that it wasn't leaking. But when I came home, there were three holes in the ceiling. I called American Home Shield the next day and asked if they plan on sending a drywall out here to fix it and they said they wanted to wait five days before they schedule a dry wall to come out. I haven't had a call back about it. Besides this claim, I've also had them come out and repair my garage fridge and replace a pool motor. The response time was pretty good. It was within a couple of days. Also, the customer support reps are sometimes a little hard to understand because they have a really super thick accent but it's been good.

    The light fixtures don't work anymore and the initial tech that came out said that he was gonna send some pictures, so I can just go and fix it myself because I have this warranty. They can just forward me a refund and I can purchase the set myself. The tech was really good. He was very polite and respectful. But I haven’t heard back from anybody.

    My garbage disposal kept acting up. It would stop and leak and then it would stop again. They came out here three or four times and they ended up changing the whole system out. Then, the new one was humming and a tech came and fixed the problem as soon as we noticed. I've used American Home Shield several times and I tell all my friends and family about how good they are because I've had a great experience. I haven't had any problems or haven't had that many big out-of-pocket expenses, except for my AC unit. And I'm upset with that company because they gave me a lousy AC unit. My house isn't getting cold and since it's under warranty, American Home Shield still goes through them. Also, sometimes, I don't like having to pay the $75 as soon as I make the order because sometimes the people aren't readily available. If I've already paid the money, I just have to wait.

    Sears came out to repair the refrigerator but for whatever reason, the tech that came out said that the issues were pre-existing, which we didn't understand how he could assume that or where he got that information from. I had to reach back out to American Home Shield and ask for a second opinion because they denied the repair of the claim because the technician said that the conditions were pre-existing. They gave me a second opinion, and another person came out. When they came out, they diagnosed it again. It was a different diagnosis than what the original person had put. So, they had to send someone out to repair it. American Home Shield did end up repairing it. Everything is working fine.

    The claim process was a little bit frustrating because when they set the dates, Sears just gave me a date and time. They didn’t reach out to me like American Home Shield said that they would. We had to figure out things around our work schedule according to the date that they had given us and the time that they had given us. It was between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm, but my husband and I both work. So, it wasn’t like they called to see what time would work for us.

    The person who came to fix my disposal was very friendly and he didn't take any time to get it done. I really appreciate that he came when he did. However, the last time that I called to get my air condition fixed, that was the third time that I called and I specifically told the person that I spoke with that the unit is not a central air conditioner. It's an extension that was done to my house and the air condition looks like the one that you have on hotel rooms. Because, two times before, they came to fix it and they said they don't work on those units. When I called the third time, the person who came said, "I don't work with this unit." I have paid three times for my air conditioner to be fixed and it's still not fixed. The man said he was gonna let AHS know that he doesn't work on those units. But that was the only issue that I had. Other than that, I never had any problems with them with anything else. I'm very satisfied with AHS.

    Updated on 3/16/2022: AHS ensures that they respond to the ConsumerAffairs complaint within a day to mark the complaint as "Resolution in Progress". However, they will not respond to you in the private chat after that. They responded initially to my complaint within 48 hours requesting more info (because it shows publicly), but 6 days later and they are still quiet in the private chat.

    Original review: When purchasing my home I selected the basic Home Shield plan. 2-3 months later, the kitchen sink faucet's sprayer aerator broke off and went down the drain. This means that the water comes out like an exterior hose as it no longer has the piece that splits the water in a lighter stream. AHS sent someone out quickly, but the worker that they sent told me that I probably wouldn't get it covered because AHS will use the "missing part" clause in the contract to deny it. I told him that there is no way for me to even have the part due to how the system failed. He agreed, but again stated that he rarely sees these paid out. Sure enough, AHS denied the claim to replace "due to a missing part". I explained to them that the plastic piece broken into multiple small pieces and went down the drain, and that it is impossible to recover the "missing part". They still denied it.

    After escalation, I asked them if a bearing on an appliance shattered into dust if that'd be denied due to a "missing part" and they told me that yes, a missing part means they don't have to repair it. It's absolutely absurd that an appliance or any covered item that mechanically fails in a way that shatters it to pieces becomes an excluded claim. The missing part clause is meant for AHS to not cover a part that someone may take off to sell or throw away just to abuse the warranty contract to get a newer part. I understand the need for this clause, but AHS's abuse of this clause is akin to fraud in my opinion. Based on AHS's very generous use of the "missing part" clause, a majority of covered item's failures will not be paid out by AHS.

    I have two heating units in my home and one of the units was not heating. That was back in October. I called AHS and they sent a guy out from some company. He said that there was a board that need to be replaced and he had had to order it. Later on, he came back and put it in. The unit started working. But then, the other unit quit working. I had to call in again and AHS charged me another $75. Every time I call in a deal, they charge me $75. They sent a gentleman out. I didn't know this, but that particular part of the unit is underneath the edge of my house. He went under there and was there for about two minutes. He said the blower motor was running backwards and that he would have to order a blower motor. He left and I waited and waited. I never heard anything from him again. I called back in and the rep said he ordered the motor, but it hadn't come in yet. Then, a couple of days later, he called and said he was coming out.

    He came out, went under there, and stayed down there for about five minutes. When he came out, he said he couldn't replace the unit and that I'm gonna have to replace everything. He couldn't get that motor off so they're going to have to replace all that unit underneath the house. And if they do that, they have to replace the unit that sits on the ground, the air conditioning and the heating unit itself. He also said that the air conditioning unit takes the old type of Freon and that Freon is not available anymore. If it's just a blower motor, why do I have to replace the air conditioning unit that's outside the house? It didn't make sense. He left and didn't do anything.

    I waited and then I got an email from that company that he was with and it was saying all kinds of stuff -- that it was all rusted out, that my ductwork was laying on the ground and collapsed, that the whole unit would have to be replaced, and that I would responsible for the payment of all the work. The tech said it's going to cost between $5,000 and $8,000. I'm retired and on a fixed income and disabled. I can't afford all that. They also said that if I didn't pay it at the time of the repair, they would put a lien against my home.

    I talked to AHS and the lady said she would do some investigation and call me back. She was very polite. Several hours later, she called me back and she said she talked to the company and that it was just a form email that they sent out. But it was very intimidating and very threatening to me. I really didn't appreciate it. Also, I've paid three payments of $75 every time they come out and I still don't have my heat working in my house. She said they were going to send the tech back out and I told her I didn't want him back. I want somebody that knows what they're doing and is willing to do it. She said to keep my phone on and somebody will be in contact with me the next day. That was a week ago and I haven't heard a word from them.

    AHS is fantastic. It's a fairly decent amount to have the techs come out. I'm paying $100 to have them send out a technician to look at my dryer. If there's something wrong with the dryer that they can't fix, they’re saying we gotta replace it, and then it will be replaced. It's not going to be any more money for me out of my pocket. It's gonna be $100. That's it. Even the higher stuff, like a furnace or air conditioning, if you had to replace those, we're talking about thousands of dollars. I'd rather pay the $800 throughout the year, and knowing that I have a little security, and knowing that I'm not gonna have to pull out a loan just to get something fixed.

    Sears came out recently because I was having issues with the refrigerator freezing. One of the lines that go to the evaporation on the bottom of the pan of the refrigerator got a little clogged up. So, it backed the water up, and the water backed up into the back of the refrigerator. Which caused it to freeze and start to expel water from the side onto the floor. They pulled out what was clogging it up in the back and unfroze it, cleaned it up and went on their way. It's working fine now.
