    There were still some problems with the AC. The coils have frozen over. The tech wants them to thaw out and he will be back on Friday to finish the repairs. He told us that we would need to turn the AC off between 24 and 48 hours before he returns. But it's so nice to know that we don't have to search around town to find someone to repair our home appliances. That’s what we love about American Home Shield. Also, the customer service line is always knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The crew that they sent out to us was marvelous. And we love the communication lines and the total package.

    My washing machine was not working. It wasn't draining and it wasn't spinning or doing anything. The fabric softener also never went in when I ran the machine and it was making really loud noises. I submitted a claim over the internet, and it was very convenient. When the tech came out, he fixed the machine then told me what was wrong. There was a piece of clothing stuck in the drain.

    American Home Shield is reliable and they do a good job. The last claim that I made was when my ceiling fan was wobbly. I just called it in and it was easy. They told me who was going to be coming and that he would contact me when he was on his way. My ceiling fan had one wrong screw in one of the blades, and one of the blades was ready to fly off. The repairman had to take it apart, and everything went really smooth.

    I submitted a couple of claims to American Home Shield, and both of them have been resolved satisfactorily. J&L came out and they've done an excellent job. Each of the service requests I've put in has involved more than one thing. The first one was resolved in one visit. The second one took two visits because there were four different things that I asked them to look at, but they were all resolved.

    When things go bad, you never really plan for it, so American Home Shield is helpful. You feel good that it’s taken care of when it’s done. Some of the stuff, I have no idea how to do, and other stuff I do, but I just don’t have time. Also, the cost that goes along with it.

    Recently, the washing machine was not spinning. I put the request in on one day, and the initial service provider that AHS assigned to me couldn’t get out for a couple of days. It was a washing machine, so it’s not a huge deal. But when it’s inconveniencing you, it becomes a huge deal. It was a day longer than they were supposed to.

    The vendor said, “We can't come for three days.” That’s unacceptable. So, I called back AHS. They said, “We need to talk to them. And they need to cancel the service order in order for us to dispatch somebody else.” And I said, “Why do we have to wait for them to call you back? That's the problem in the first place, they're not being service oriented.” So, I had to wait. And by the time did, it was the end of the day. So, that day was lost. And I finally got ahold of AHS at the end of the day, “Now that you’re putting us in, by the time you get ahold of the new service person, it's gonna end up being two days anyways.” So, I still ended up waiting three days. But I felt more comfortable with the new service provider because at least they answered their phone, and replied. They had a text service. I got ahold of somebody, versus the initial dispatched company which didn’t get it. That was long-winded.

    The guy got here within the range that he said. He sent a message saying that he was on his way. He was super helpful as far as educational, saying what was going on, explained what the process was, and what he would have to do. He ended up having to replace the motor in the unit, but had that on his truck. It was helpful because I provided them with the make and model of the unit before they came out. So, this particular guy was good.

    I’ve been with AHS for a while, so I’ve become accustomed to some of the ups and downs with their service. I equate them to a health insurance company. When you're trying to get a claim approved or paid, you have to be an advocate for yourself. Otherwise, it's hard. They've improved their hold times, which has been nice. But there were times when to get ahold of somebody to put a request in was forever. And this was before you could go online and submit a request. So, that has been an improvement. But I have to be an advocate for some of this stuff to get covered.

    One time, I had to call the corporate office to complain about something because they just kept denying it. I said, “There’s no way this should be denied, listed on the contract.” And whoever the agents were, sometimes were not English speaking. There was a language barrier between what was trying to be done, and they kept denying me. It was maddening because it was just a disconnect from a language barrier. I ended up doing a Google search on AHS home office phone numbers, and finally got ahold of somebody. That's how crazy it made me. I was like, “Who’s got this kind of time in a day when they're trying to work to deal with it?” Especially when you're paying monthly for it, and when you need it, they would say, “Sorry, I can’t help you.” That's not how it's gonna work.

    I’m paying $80 a month now for the service, which has gone up substantially, too, over time, which is just the cost of business. But if I save $80 a month times 12 months, could I be paying for this stuff the one time a year that I use them? I'm sure I could go on my own account and look up how often I have used these guys, versus how much I've paid. But I've started to think like that now, with the way the economy is. I'm spending X amount of dollars each month, and it's almost voluntarily, or it’s by choice, what do I pull back on?

    AHS sends people out to fix my stuff with no problem and the people do their jobs. A most recent claim was when my refrigerator had a cracked ice bin and it was not working at all. A tech came out and put some kind of red light in the refrigerator. He said it needed some parts ordered. But when he went back to American Home Shield, he told them nothing was wrong with my refrigerator. AHS sent me a new contractor, KN Repair, and I got a new refrigerator. It took about a week to get processed and they sent me something similar to the refrigerator that I had.

    The tech from Advanced Home Services was very nice and everything was taken care of right here. But I don't like American Home Shield. I've had them for years and every time the techs come, whatever's wrong is not covered. AHS said my microwave is covered as long as it works inside. I said it’s the whole front seal off it and it can't be fixed because they can't get a part. They wouldn't replace it and I had to go buy a microwave. They wanted me to sit with this ugly thing in my kitchen, with its gears showing.

    It was the same thing with the refrigerator. I had a problem and AHS doesn't do the icemaker in the front because it's an add-on. I said I can’t take it off the fridge. It's part of the fridge. I had to buy a whole new refrigerator because of these people. So, I'm not happy because they don't cover most of the stuff that goes wrong. They find that little technicality. I know I'm gonna have to replace my dishwasher because they've had techs coming out here and they said it was working. But there's no water pressure so it's not cleaning anything. So, I haven't used the dishwasher in a while because I don't want to keep buying every appliance now. For the whole time in this house, I’ve had AHS for 16 years and I probably had it in my other house. But it's gotten to the point that everything I need, they don't cover so they won't replace it. So, it has cost me a lot of money. My neighbor across the street said he finally got disgusted and canceled them.

    I had a problem with my kitchen sink that was clogged. The plumber was very nice. Then, I got a call from a representative at AHS and he said, “I understand that you had a grease clog in the sink. That's something that you can be responsible for avoiding. If that happens again, just wanna let you know that won't be paid for.” That was a freak thing that had never happened to me before. Even the plumber said, “I have four kids. Things like this could happen.” When she said that, she said it like it was a one-time thing. But the plumber was very good. She had the snake and she showed me. She even gave me suggestions on boiling hot water and running that down the sink monthly.

    I had another clog in the bathroom and the plumbers for that were very good also. Every contractor that AHS has referred, I've had no complaints about.

    I serviced the AC units about two months before and the guy told me they were fine. Then one of the units stopped blowing completely. The other one was blowing cold air but it was not as cold. So the guy came out and he fixed both of them within 20 minutes. He swapped out the little battery pack unit for one unit. Then for the other one, he showed me the board was burned out. He ordered the board and they resolved it last week. It was working fine.

    I did the claim online and American Home Shield's website was pretty friendly. I have never really logged into the website, so I had to create a password real quick. I created it and it went in. It was pretty simple to use. Then they sent me a text and they sent me who the contractor was gonna be. The contractor contacted me and then it took them about four days to show up. It was kinda hot the whole two months. But they said that was the soonest they could get me in. They gave me a little bit of information and then they took care of it. They did a great job. American Home Shield is worth it. It's fast and usable.

It was a great experience. It had been about a week from the time that I had called to the time that the techs came out. But he said, "I'm really glad that you called because I'm gonna be at Ellijay, and I was just going to stop by." He said that he would be over that day between 3 and 6 o'clock and he was. He checked the thermostat. Then he went outside. He said it was an electrical issue and he fixed it. AHS just gives us peace of mind. We've had issues in other houses where we've lived and we've always had a home warranty and it pays for itself if there's an issue. Sometimes there is not, but you, at least, have the assurance that if it was, it wouldn't take your emergency fund.

    In our previous home, we had a different home warranty and we were not very impressed with them. I’m so glad that our Realtor broker suggested American Home Shield. Within a few weeks of moving in, our septic system broke. They’re sending out really great service providers. Even as I’m reading reviews of the different companies they’re sending out, everybody else is having great experiences with them. With our previous provider, I would constantly read reviews and everybody they were sending out constantly had bad reviews.

    When our oven went out, we thought it was an electrical issue. American Home Shield sent out an electrician and the electrician said everything was fine. They just sent it over to whoever was in charge of ovens and it was just seamless. I didn’t have to fight or argue or have any problems. It was just nice. They immediately took care of us and I did not have to pay another $85 for a different service provider to come out. They sent out the person who came and fixed the oven. It was a fuse problem and he fixed the fuse. It was easy and really nice.

    Another service provider we had was J-Star and their plumber was great. He had a lot he had to come in and fix. I had a sink where I had to turn off the cold water because I had a cold water leak underneath the sink. My garbage disposal wasn’t working as well. I also had an entire toilet where the screw that goes from the floor to the toilet was broken. It was moving and leaking. The plumber took that off and replaced the wax seal then put a new screw on. He was in and out in 45 minutes. It was easy and simple.

    My washing machine was also making some weird smell so he looked at it. I had already done some troubleshooting based on what the washing machine said to do when it makes a weird smell, like move up the drain hose. He gave me some additional tips so that if the machine was doing it again, I would know what to do or I could call him back. Initially, I was nervous because plumbing issues are so finicky. But that went smoothly. Every time we had a problem, American Home Shield sent good people out. It’s been easy and seamless. I always check first so I know whether it’s generally covered. So far, they have been covered.

One time, it was low on Freon and AHS didn’t cover the Freon but that is in my policy. Some of the people they send out are excellent and some are very unreliable and very shady.

It was late on a Sunday night when I did it and they called me on Monday. The contractor, Fleshers Refrigeration, said they would be out the following day. We were the first appointment on their agenda. Their service was excellent when they came out.

    On 10/21 AHS sent a technician to fix my garbage disposal. The plumber replaced the disposal and pipes. 6 months later the same plumber from AHS attempted to fix my shower & couldn't. He broke my drain. It took 3 months for AHS to send a different plumber to fix my drain. I had to buy a new drain cover to replace the broken one. Last week my kitchen sink wouldn't drain so I called AHS. They wanted to send the plumber who broke my drain, but I asked for a different plumber, the one who eventually fixed my drain.

    He came out and informed me that the garbage disposal was backwards, the pipes were placed incorrectly, and they were glued together instead of using unions that screw together. He would have to get permission to cut the pipes out and install the correct ones. Also, he would need permission to install a "clean out" by putting a hole in my kitchen wall to the outside, which AHS would not pay for. Not wanting to wait 3 months (based on my experience last time) for service, I hired a plumber & paid out of pocket. This plumber cut out the pipes, reinstalled the pipes using unions and now everything works, no "clean out" or hole in my wall needed.

    When I explained the entire situation to American Home Shield they refused to refund my money for either the original service call where the 1st plumber installed the disposal backwards and glued pipes in the incorrect configuration, but they also refused to refund me the most recent visit where the plumber informed that the previous work was incorrect and yet he himself was unable to do even begin any work. AHS eventually refunded me half of the 2nd service fee, around $62. Needless to say, I would NOT recommend them to work on your plumbing because they will not refund their service fees if their plumber manages to install your disposal backwards and LITERALLY glue your pipes together.

    I had a claim with an appliance and that was not a good experience. I had a washer and dryer that was outdoors and I did not know that AHS did not cover things that were outdoors. The tech wasn't very friendly about it. He said that they couldn't touch the machine but he looked at it. I said, "Well, maybe American Home Shield will cover it. Can you let me know?" He said, "Well, I had to talk to American Home Shield and see if they will cover that." I waited for him for two weeks but he did not call back. I tried to call but he never took my calls. That was rude. He could have called to say, "Sorry. I'm not coming back to fix that” or “I don't want to fix that." But he just stopped communicating. I have asked to not have that tech back and I don't want him near my other appliances.

    Otherwise, AHS has been fine. I had a wonderful claim experience and I've been very happy with them. I had a wire that was burning in my box and the process was a day or two.

    There were multiple things that the techs needed to repair and they repaired all those things. They came out fairly quickly, too. But this is the first time I've had a good experience with American Home Shield. The first two service things I had with them were very difficult. I had to call the Consumer Affairs for the state of Florida, the Better Business Bureau, and Internal Affairs, and they had to arbitrate between us.

    AHS sends out different companies and I noticed that they're not all local companies. So, the techs who came for my air conditioning were from New Port Richey and these people were almost from Naples. The vendors are good though. Other than that, American Home Shield's customer service reps are very difficult and challenging to deal with. They don't have a lot of authority to do anything and even though the calls are recorded, they're not documented in a way where the next person knows what happened the first time. And there's nowhere to contact to escalate.

    I have an active claim for my air conditioning. The techs took out the coils and the compressor on the outside. They are attempting to repair them because there is a leak. But they determined that the repair isn't holding and they said that I have until Sunday to continue to try. It's more than likely it won't hold so they've already scheduled an appointment for Monday for installation for the technician to create a quote.

    Repairs through AHS have been excellent except for when I used one of their services where the technician came to do a check on my air conditioning. He didn't know what he was doing and he shorted out the unit. They didn't repair or replace it. They told me it was not repairable and I had to buy an entirely new unit from Home Depot. And then I had to pay $1,800 to have it installed. That was very upsetting because the person that they sent out damaged the unit.

    AHS continued to say that parts were requested and the parts were never delivered. They sent out several different companies to check. The final company that came said, "Oh, it's not repairable." And they denied my claim, didn't replace the unit, and didn't offer any information. But I still kept them as my home warranty. The technicians they have on their roster are really good and appointments are usually the next day. I've even had a same-day appointment if I request first thing in the morning.

He came the next day because the unit was still leaking. Come to find out the leak was in the tray. The holes were clogged up at the top of the AC and not in the P-trap.

    Techs actually came out again two or three weeks later because I had a bad clog in my kitchen. We couldn't use our kitchen sink and couldn't wash dishes. I couldn't run my dishwasher for a few days. I had to call the home warranty again, which I hated doing. That service took a day to get scheduled. The techs that came fixed that. I’m pleased with American Home Shield. After service is done, I am asked, “How happy are you?

I had to call American Shield back to find out who the person was and I had to contact them to set up my appointment. I didn't know that would happen until I did my first go-around. But ever since then, whenever I called a claim in, I'd get the information then I'd call the contractors. And they'd say they see the claim there and everything gets set up.

And when I contacted the companies if I had a question, they were really nice, too.

    I'm not quite sure about the coverage though because we've only used it a handful of times and everything has been covered. Then, when we had the air condition thing and we had to add the Freon, the coverage for that was not good because it cost us out of pocket almost $120. It was so expensive at $100-something a pound and the $10 that AHS covered did not do anything for it.

    We have had a policy with American Home Shield for close to 15 years. We have gone several years without needing any service at all and then we've had a couple of situations where we've had to fight to get something done. Our biggest issue with them is the timeliness. But there's usually someone assigned to the repair, and then they come out and make an assessment. I messed with a dishwasher for five months. I also had a situation with a washer recently. The guy said, “Well, I'm gonna write up something. I think it's gonna have to be replaced.” I just went out and bought another one because I did not want to mess with American Home Shield to wait on the paperwork. When they finally got the bid thing, I just said I wanted a cash out. So they offered me a portion of what I replaced.

    The AC wasn’t cooling and Oasis came out to my house that I live in. We paid the extra to have the Freon installed, and then they had to come out for a damper also. When we had an issue with the washing machine, the guy came out and did an assessment. He said, “I am moving out of state and will no longer be an AHS provider. And so I thought I could fix it, but I can't. They're going to have to order a part.” American Home Shield messed with him for three weeks, trying to get something from him. Every time I called, I was on the phone for hours at a time. Every time I talked to somebody, I had to explain the whole situation again. They would have to escalate it to a supervisor, but the supervisor would never call us back and then we'd have to start again. I started slamming them on Twitter and got somebody to respond. But otherwise, we've had great response from American Home Shield. We've always been able to get the issues resolved.

Every time I would call them, their voicemail would be full, or I would leave a message and wouldn’t get a return call. If I did get ahold of them, they would claim, “We’re just very busy.

However, the microwave still wasn’t functioning with the new part. They said they had to come back and had to order some more parts to try and fix the problem. That took about two months. It was insane. I could never get ahold of them, neither could American Home Shield.

    Every time I would call, I’d have to speak to a different representative with American Home Shield. I had to start all the way from the beginning, repeating the whole story because it was always a different person. They wanted to know exactly what was going on, where we were at, how it all started, even though they should have had records of it. Every time I called, AHS would say they have to send an email to Airboss, but then I wouldn’t get a response from either of the two. I would have to call back. Then AHS would say, they’d send another email. It was just back and forth.

Before I moved in, I had them snaked because everything was slow draining but I've had both bathrooms flooded since then. F6 Plumbing called me and I explained the issue to them. They had someone meet out with me on the property. They texted me before they got there. They were nice and friendly and they explained everything pretty well. They snaked the drain to try to remove any potential blockages but as it is reoccurring, they suggested I get a camera scope as my next step. They can't do anything further, according to them, until they get a camera into the pipes. They said the pipes are pretty old so there may be an issue somewhere down the main line that they're not able to reach.

    American Home Shield advertises services outside of the warranty. Six to nine months ago, I arranged for someone to come do an air conditioning and heating service. That was $75 to do that. The guy came and looked at the AC condenser outside but he didn't go up in the attic to look at the heating unit. I called American Home Shield and complained, was told that I would be reimbursed the $75 and I never received it.

    The contractors have not been the best. The majority of them are non-American. I have no bias against anyone as long as they do a good job, but they are abrupt. Half the time they don't answer your questions when you ask what's going on with whatever they're here to do. I even had one plumbing vendor that wanted a good rating. He said, "You should receive a survey." I said, "Okay." He said, "Well, get your phone and pull up the survey." I did that, and he said, "Well, can I see your phone?" He gave himself the rating and didn't even allow me to do it. He was also very arrogant and condescending while he was here managing the plumbing issue. Find another home warranty company. My sister and I are in the process of doing that right now.

    So far, the service has been pretty good. We had an issue with a dishwasher and then a refrigerator went out. They came out and repaired the dishwasher and replaced the refrigerator. When they replaced it, they gave me an option. I could either take their cash option and pick out what I want or I could choose from the options that they provide. We ended up choosing from one of their options. It was a Frigidaire refrigerator-freezer combo. It worked out great.

    Having the warranty is fantastic. But I had some issues with getting the contractor notification sent over. They notified the contractor that they were assigned my ticket and it took a little while for them to send over the paperwork so that the contractor can go ahead and get started on scheduling me for service. But once we got over that challenge, everything else was pretty smooth. My AC wasn't working and they helped expedite the process because I have an infant.

    I called around to find out how much the coverage would cost to cover certain things in my house, especially my appliances. American Home Shield had different levels of pay you could use for whatever issues you wanted. I picked the package I needed. I used the service when my ceiling fan wasn't working. Also, my other fans would not work. My bedroom fan was not working no matter what I did. Another bedroom fan had a light that would not work. It was making a lot of noise and shaking. I called the insurance company and they were the ones that picked a service company. DT Electric called me to schedule the appointment. I knew their tech was coming in a truck. He came in a truck with the logo on it.

    The guy that came checked the first fan and he said it was a remote up inside of the hub of the fan. He went in there, pulled it out, and replaced it. For the other fan, he shook the ceiling fan and the light switch that would not work started working. I showed him the bulb and he did something. It's been good since. I'm very happy. I told American Home Shield I wanted that same guy back and they sent him back. He was very quick with his work.

    American Home Shield is all right. But I'm disappointed about the contractors they get. They don't do the job. So far, I had a bad experience with them. They came in and did the service for my AC. Everything was fine. But one of the lines for the drain of the AC units was clogged. So, instead of going to the drain, it leaked to the outside. I explained to the contractor what was going on. The first contractor came in and should possibly fix it, but he didn't fix it the correct way. So, the water started leaking through the ceiling, and we had a problem right there. It damaged our ceiling. We contacted the contractor, and they told us that they would give us $50 to fix the damage. But $50 would not fix that.

    I told AHS and they told me that I could just go ahead and use my home warranty to fix that. The first contractor, the one that offered me the $50, never came back. They didn't even answer their calls. So, they sent a second contractor. They came in the first time and the tech he said they fixed it. So, after three days, it started leaking through the safety drain. I called AHS again, and the contractor came back again and told me it was fixed. But three days later, it still leaked through the safety drain.

    I tried to reach out to AHS and I told them that I was getting ready to cancel my home warranty with them because of the contractors they send. And they convinced me to keep on going with them. But they haven't fixed my problem. Everything was great, so far. But after this incident with the AC unit, nobody takes responsibility of it. AHS told me when something that the contractor did caused the damage, they don't take responsibility of it. The contractors that they get should make sure that the issue is being taken care of. You pay $120 a month, and all of a sudden, when you need them, it's, “Oh, you know what? We're gonna send you somebody else, and then send you somebody else.” And it seems like somebody caused a damage to it and nobody takes responsibility of it.

    The kitchen sink was stopped up. It was a very slow drain. I sewnt in the claim and also added a few smaller things on there. The guy came out and he fixed the smaller things. He tried to fix the clog but he couldn't. He said that someone would have to come out with a different attachment for the tool that they have because he only had one attachment, and they could get it out. I was happy with that. If I gotta wait for someone else to come out, that's typical. But then I get a notification that the claim was denied and that American Home Shield won’t pay to fix it. Pipe Solutions wanted $400 to come out and clean it. The plumber said in the report that there was a foreign object. I called AHS multiple times, trying to figure out what exactly that meant. Because there's nothing except a foreign object that could cause a clog. If there's not something in there, it's not going to clog. So I was confused on that.

    The first two people hung up on me. The third person said that they would have Pipe Solutions send someone else out. The fourth person said that nothing like that was on the notes. So that person just lied to me. The first person said she can have someone else come out. But if they determine it’s a foreign object, it will not only cost $100, but I’ll have to pay the other costs to get it out. I’m pouring chemicals down there hoping to try and fix it because AHS won’t cover it. I was told that the only types of clogs covered are mold, mildew, and algae. But as far as I can tell, clogs are not covered by AHS, which is frustrating. So my experience was very poor. But the initial plumber was good. He seemed to know what he was doing. He was kind and professional. The woman I talked to at AHS seemed kind of frustrated to talk to me. I may have been frustrated as well. So I can't blame her too much for that.

    The young man came by and worked on my dryer. It wasn't heating correctly. He came back and replaced the part which he had to order. Since doing that, everything is working accordingly again. My only concern with American Home Shield is they serve as the middle person. I pay a monthly fee to them, which in turn, I'm assuming that if anything is to happen, they put into action what needs to be done. I know with insurance, you have a deductible that you have to meet. Once that deductible is taken care of, whatever services are needed, you go ahead and take care of that. I'm paying AHS to reach out to a third party to come in, but I still have to pay the repair fee, which is $100. Although the service was good, the young man was very kind, respected my home, did what was needed to be done, that part of it I don't understand. That's my only hiccup with that.

    I have three houses, and all of them are covered by American Home Shield. Experience-wise, it’s a mix. Some are good, and some are not so good, especially the time taken to get some issues when it is raised to resolution. Sometimes American Home Shield doesn't have enough of outsourcing companies to send the technicians for, so that takes longer. Each time I have to wait for a request, I think whether it is worth the effort or not. I pay so much money every month, and when I am raising a request, it takes so much to convince that this is a real problem and that this needs to be addressed faster.

    When Street Plumbing & Rooter came out, that was the worst experience I had from a third-party technician coming to my home. I raised the issue that the kitchen sink was not draining water out. The first time, he came and fixed it. But the next day, by evening, it went to the same mode again. It was not working. I raised the request again with American Home Shield. That was an easy job. It was few minutes, and it was recorded. I got the appointment yesterday. The same technician showed up yesterday, but he seemed to be having an attitude issue from the moment he entered the house.

    At the time of leaving, he shouted at us saying, “You guys don't know how to use a sink. You put so much of rice and curry leaves. You dump all these things inside that and blame on us for not doing the job right.” We said, “We don’t blame anybody. We just said that this motor is not working. If it doesn’t work again, it’s up to you. Either to recommend AHS to replace it or to come back again to repair. You have no right to even shout." He said he was going to report it with the videos and photos that we were messing it up. We were upset about his behavior. I look forward to American Home Shield to improve the service to make our lives easier.

American Home Shield was able to send somebody out the beginning of the following week. The second guy that came out was very knowledgeable also. He fixed the dryer. He went a step further to clean out the exhaust that goes up to the roof of our home. That was additional $80 charge for him do that which was worth it.

    The refrigerator had been making noise for a while. On the day I made the claim, it quit cooling. The freezer part is fine, but the lower part had quit working. It took two weeks to get somebody to come out. He determined that the fan had went bad in it. The cooling fan pulled the cooler from the freezer into the refrigerator itself. They ordered the part. The part came and was delivered to my residence. It was approximately two weeks after that that they sent another repair technician out to put the new part in. I had to utilize a spare refrigerator for five weeks which was ridiculous. But they were both nice guys. One guy was from North Carolina and another guy was from Giles County.

    My garage door still isn't fixed. A contractor came and put a new motor in it, but that didn't take care of it. The guy that did it was incompetent that's why I haven't called anybody. He could hardly get up or down the ladder. I'm all for older people working, but that dude did not have any business climbing around on ladders. I wound up having to do the majority of the work myself. There's a garage door company here locally that can come out and fix it and I'm gonna wind up having to pay for it. If I run another claim through American Home Shield, they're gonna try to send that guy back out from Timberline Construction, and he can't do it.

    We had an issue with an air conditioning overflow pan that was pumping a lot of water out.

We had to have them come back because there was some continued blockage further down the line, but they came back very quickly and got it taken care of. Overall, AHS is good for a rental but at the same time, they are very hard to deal with when it comes to larger appliances. In larger appliances, there’s always a lot of pushback. Anytime there’s a larger appliance that is questioned, i.e. an existing unit, the answer for any insurance program is the initial claims are always a no. It takes some serious calls and battling. I have had to experience that several times. So, it’s the larger appliances that they’re really not too happy with when it comes to replacement.

    I’ve had things happen this year that I didn't expect. But everything was either fixed or AHS provided me some funds to fix it however way I wanted to. My washing machine went out recently and they gave me $450 to replace it. If I wanted to upgrade, I could. I just upgraded, paid the extra $400, and got an $850 washing machine. Recently, the wire had shorted out in the capacitor of the AC. They replaced that and showed me where it burned out and put in a new one. Everything's been fine since. The tech also didn't try to oversell me anything. He showed me what the problem was. The guy was like, “Here you go. Fixed it.”

It was the best experience I had with American Home Shield. I’m happy with them, except for their customer service.

    I had two situations that occurred in 45 days period of time. The first time, the AC unit was freezing up. A technician came out and said the outside fan needed to be cleaned. They did that. Then we had some water leakage coming from the furnace. The pipe was clogged. The technician had to open that up, and they fixed it there. The concern I had was I had to pay twice for that service. They sent out two different companies versus the one that was recently out. I wasn't pleased with that part, that I had to pay the fee twice because it was just a bit over the 30 days coverage. If the guy was out the first time, he should have noticed that and should have cleaned out the pipe. Other than that, I’ve been pleased with American Home Shield. Another time, their contractor had to come out and do something on the refrigerator. It was fair.

    The air conditioner was leaking and it's installed above a hot water heater. So, the leak was coming down on top of the hot water heater underneath. It's in a tenant-occupied condo, and the tenant told me first that the hot water heater was leaking, but it turned out to be the air conditioner. It was Friday that I asked American Home Shield for an appointment, and they came out yesterday. Beaches have been out a couple of times. The first time that AHS assigned Beaches, it took a long time for Beaches to come out. My tenant wound up calling another company. That cost me a lot of money because I didn’t have the home warranty. They installed a new air conditioner, so it wound up costing me $5,000 or more. It was busy though, and I’m sure they couldn’t make it and my tenant wouldn’t wait at that time. The air conditioners always die when you need them the most.

    At that particular time, I was not satisfied and I let American Home Shield know. I’ve also been dealing with home warranty companies for a long time, and I know that they make a contract with different providers, but they don’t have enough providers most of the time. This time, everything was much better. The response is much better. The tech helped us solve the problem that the company that came out to do the hot water heater didn’t solve. They went away without putting a cover on the electrical wiring on the top of the hot water heater. So, The AC drips down on top of the water heater, and there’s a chance that that could be a problem. Water and electricity don't get along very well. As far as AHS, I’m very happy. They did a claim on my house where they installed a part on my air conditioner, and it was an expensive part. That didn’t cost me anything but the service call. So, that was really nice. The techs came out right away, too.

    The AC was making a loud noise and not really cooling. It's an old unit and it was getting really hot.

They kept saying that they were gonna send me an email. I talked to American Home Shield and they said the contractor is gonna send an email with a list of what they're doing but I never got it. That made me feel a little uncomfortable, not knowing exactly what they were going to be doing, so we decided we didn't want to use them.

    I had a claim for my hot water heater. The rep was fine but I didn't understand what the problem was. There was a warranty that was on the hot water heater. I explained to them that the warranty wasn't mine. It was the homeowner that had the house before me. It wasn't fair that there were all kinds of issues when it's time to pay up if I'm paying every month for AHS. I ended up paying $870 out of pocket anyway. Also, the plumber was expensive and he wanted $980. I was very dissatisfied with that.

    I had one other issue that they fixed though and it was the microwave over the oven. But it wasn't $100 to fix that little microwave thing. AHS should honor what they say. They told me I would pay $100 out of pocket and that's all. But I'm out almost a thousand dollars. If my issue is something major, I might as well get it fixed myself.

    American Home Shield is prompt but they don’t have the greatest companies that come out to your home to cover the services on our appliances. We've had AHS for many years and we've also had it not just for our home, but both our properties that we have. They've been good about responding and this is the first time we've had an issue. We were told that our appliance wasn't good anymore and that we would have to replace it. We never had to have an appliance replaced before. I had to keep calling to find out what was going on with our washer. Meanwhile, we did not have a washer and no one ever got back to me from American Home Shield. They have all my contact information. Then when I call, I have to sit and wait for 30 minutes to get somebody or to even get a response. And it's like starting all over again, explaining the situation. The reps are reading me the notes that they're seeing and there's a little bit of a language barrier at times.

    I'm very shocked that a lot of the customer service is outsourced. Every time, it's not a good connection. I've gotten cut off, disconnected and I had to start all over again. So I'm debating whether it's worth staying with American Home Shield or not and maybe finding another company that's within our country. The service might be better. It's very discouraging and very disappointing to have that. Also, we've been with AHS for years and no one told us that rates were going up. The communication is terrible within American Home Shield.

    The value proposition is becoming less and less. When I first started the coverage with AHS, it was $400 a year and I would pay $75. But now, the policy is like $900 and then I'm paying a $75 fee and then considering the fact that there's $1,500 worth of coverage in certain areas, it's almost as if you have to have something go wrong in order for the policy to provide the value that you're paying for. But overall, the policy is good.

    The condensation line in the central air was backed up and the trip mechanism that would detect if the overflow pan was full hit the wall so water leaked onto my ceiling.

    Updated on 12/05/2022: Contacted AHS on Nov 23 to report the failure of a capacitor the company had replaced only two months. This affected our pool heater and pump. Dispatch #**. No vendor has contacted us yet to schedule a visit. The system indicates “Pacific Pool has been assigned but that they have not succeeding contacting us.” This is not true. I spoke to the contractor three times:

    - Nov 28: schedule appointment for Nov 29 in the afternoon. No one showed up or called to cancel the appointment.
    - Nov 29: contacted contractor again to rescheduled for Nov 30. Contractor did not show again and failed to call to cancel again.
    - Dec 1: contacted contractor again. They claim they could not come until Dec 5 and indicated they would contact AHS to have another vendor assigned. I have escalated the issue and was told on Dec 1st that Pacific Pool would come to the house on Dec 5. No one called. No one showed up.
    - Pacific pools indicate that they are not the vendor assigned for the job.

    - AHS representative Jen indicated that nothing had been escalated and that whoever I spoke to on Dec 1 lied about setting an appointment for Monday. I was told by Jen that no manager or escalation team member was available.

    This is probably a great example of a complete failure to respond to a work order or provide a service. I am hoping all calls have been recorded as each representative has carefully hang up before the survey is transferred to rate their service. Please contact us at ** to indicate next steps as our pool is being damaged for not having a working pump for almost two weeks now. This summarises well the quality of the service AHS is providing to its customers.

    Original Review: Requested two work orders: pool pump and dishwasher/dryer. PURE POOLS came on Aug 2nd: it took several visits for the repair to be done and the job was finally completed on September 7. Reused parts used that didn't work properly putting the condition of our pool at risk during the period. ACTIVE APPLIANCES SERVICE assigned for the other two appliances. After a 5 minute visit technician reported that there was no issue with our dishwasher and that we damaged the dryer. We had to hire a technician on our own to repair the dishwasher and will have to do the same with the dryer. Honestly don't see the value of spending one more penny in a worthless home warranty service. Technicians hired are as inept as the customer service provided by AHS.

    I just renewed with AHS after having it for one year and then going into my second year. So far, no complaints. I haven't had any issues using them. I just had issues with my refrigerator and that seemed like a drawn-out process. But it was not really their fault. There was a warranty on the product through LG. So it just prolonged to get my refrigerator fixed. I had to call LG back. They sent an LG technician this time and they fixed it. It seems to be working. Being able to only pay the $75 to have someone come and fix the equipment is a definite bonus.

    AHS gets to us quickly. Everybody who has been sent out to us has been nice and really informative on everything. I had a stoppage in my back bathroom. The tech walked around the window where the bathroom was and he was like, “All right. We’ll take care of it right now.” I let him in and within 20 minutes, he was done. He checked all the faucets, sinks and toilets to make sure none of those were backing up.

    I've only used American Home Shield one time so far, which was for plumbing. My only little complaint is I was told that the person would call me 30 minutes before they arrived. He called me and told me he would be there in 10 minutes. Luckily, my husband was at home at the time because I wasn't sure if someone would be there and that was why I asked for a 30-minute leeway. I did make it home 30 minutes later. The work was complete. Instead of replacing something, it was repaired. It's cheaper.

    I’ve had the policy for about two years and AHS has been nothing but great. They’ve always assisted me when I've had issues, either by repairing or replacing. Also, the technicians' work ethic has been great. They came in, did their job, and made sure I knew what was done. They left fairly quickly after they performed what needed to be done.

    My AC was not cooling downstairs. I made a claim with AHS and the turnaround time was a couple of weeks. I don't know what was the delay, but it took three weeks for the techs to come back to replace the compressor and that didn't meet my expectations. I'm also not really feeling the AC coverage because I didn't know that this was going to cost me so much money. So right now, I wouldn't really recommend AHS.

But that night, I used the toilet and when I flushed the water, it started leaking again. The guy from American Home Shield told me that if I have to open up the sheeting, they don’t do that.

    I had two issues, one was a plumbing issue, and the other was an electric issue. Two of the three companies that were sent to me were great. The first company American Home Shield sent out, Economy Plumbing, should not be in business. They should take them out of their Rolodex. We got rid of them, then Pendleton Plumbing came in and did a great job. Ron, the owner, was amazing, very helpful and professional. Manuel from MC Electric came for the electric issue, and he was fantastic as well. I would not hesitate to use Ron and Manuel any other time.

    My stove had a sensor that was going off. No matter what I did to reset it, it would not stop going off. Another thing was the oven itself didn't heat that well and getting it to turn on didn't work that great. I called American Home Shield sometime around the end of August. In the meantime, I had to pull the unit out and unplug it because that was the only way I could make it stop beeping.

    When a tech came, he was here maybe five minutes. He looked at the unit and he diagnosed what replacement parts were needed. He said he would go back and put in an order for the parts. My unit was older so he didn't know if they would be able to get the parts for it. A day or two later, I got a notice from American Home Shield saying I would get a replacement. This is the second request I put in with American Home Shield. The first one was a bust and I ended up canceling it because the contractor never got back to me and I had no air. This experience with my oven on the other hand was really good and they took care of everything really fast.

    American Home Shield has a good reputation in the market. I had a different company for the house I had owned previously and I did not like working with them. They were hard to work with and they weren't very responsive. I wasn't very impressed. But even with my limited experience with American Home Shield, I have already found them to be so much easier to work with and I like the app. It is super easy to use. You also get the contract information back so fast when they assign the claim and that's nice. I would definitely recommend this home warranty.

    For the most part, I like AHS a lot. There are just issues with one of the vendors, A1 Phoenix Plumbing. They have been difficult. They came out on the 12th of August to look at my spout. It got approved for them to repair it. They're not able to locate the part. They keep telling me they already sent the stuff to American Home Shield. But American Home Shield said they don't have anything. They keep going through this back-and-forth. So nothing's resolved.

    I had other issues and they came back out to look at other plumbing. It took them two weeks to submit their prognosis. I ended up getting a second opinion, and it was a different experience. They submitted their stuff right away. I knew exactly what was covered and what was not. Whenever I called American Home Shield, they were super helpful and they would try. But they kept saying the same thing. “We'll call them and we'll have them send it today.” It's been over a month.

    American Home Shield has been easy to reach and their representatives are easy to work with. The claims process is smooth too. I pay the deductible, and that's it unless they have to come out again for something. Recently, my AC was being weird, and my disposal was acting up. The techs resolved one, and the other one, we're doing some follow-up. With warranties, you're just paying for peace of mind and you're flattening your expenses. If I have no expenses, then I just paid into nothing, but if I do, then it helps minimize the costs.

    When the guy came out for the air conditioning, I wasn't a big fan of him. Any time I had questions, he shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know. I'm not here about that.” I would be like, “Dude, you're not helping out here.” I told the company and they were like, “Oh, we're reading his notes and this doesn't make any sense.” I had issues with the AC but that was more a personality conflict as opposed to the company itself. They were very helpful. When I talked to people, they were great and helpful. The ac is working but not efficiently. And my dissatisfaction for the first time he came out was, “We can do nothing, or you can completely replace the unit.” And I was like, “So you're telling me there's nothing in between that you can do?” That was when I called the company and said, “Come on. If it's not working efficiently, what can we do to Band-Aid it until there’s absolutely nothing wrong."

    I don’t have money for a brand new unit. When he came back out, he explained it better to me that because they made an addition on my house before I bought it, the unit is not big enough to cover that extra square footage. It would have to be a bigger unit. They didn’t offer that, but I said if they told me about that the first go around, I would have understood better. I will keep American Home Shield now and make sure that I renew it if need be. Because most recently, I had my washing machine quit filling with water. I went to my account online and put in a claim that way. That's my favorite because it's quick and easy and I don't have to be on hold and wait for somebody to talk to. The tech got ahold of me quickly. He was nice and seemed knowledgeable. Easy to talk to. He had to come out four different times and try different things. He had to wait for a part and then reschedule to come back, it's taken a while, which is nobody’s fault. But it still didn’t end up working. So, we're getting a replacement. If I didn't have AHS, that would have cost a ton of money.
