    I was impressed with American Home Shield. But I thought we're gonna fix what was wrong with the stove. When I called in to AHS, I said that one of the burners on the top wouldn't light. It would gather up gas and then just a puff. The guy said, "I know what's wrong with that. We'll fix that too right away." The contractor came out. AHS sent a part that was broken. It was used. So, the tech had to come back again. However, with what the tech did to the stove, I was over the allowance. He said for me to call later on. And I still have an issue with the top burner.

    I've called AHS three times and they always say Sears will wait for 24 hours and will give me a call. I checked in with Sears but they have no work order. They said they will be here on a Thursday. I waited all day, nothing. I then waited a couple of days and I called and they said there's no work order for Sears to come out and work on it. Other than that, the claim process was good.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience and frustration you've experienced with the stove repair process. It’s disappointing to hear that the issue remains unresolved despite multiple attempts, and I understand how discouraging the delays and miscommunication must have been. This is not the experience we aim to provide, please feel free to reach out to socialmedia@ahs.com if further review and/or follow-up is needed. We appreciate your patience and hope to make things right as quickly as possible.

    The refrigerator has a cooling drawer at the bottom, and it was freezing things. So, I contacted American Home Shield, and they sent All Desert Appliance out. And they had to come by three times. The very first time, they replaced a piece, but that didn’t fix the problem. And then they replaced the temperature sensor, but that still didn’t fix the problem. And then today, they just came and fixed some insulation that was around the damper. And so, we’re hoping that that fixes the problem.

    But right now, we can’t tell whether it’s working yet or not because they just left a few minutes ago, and the temperature in the refrigerator is off because it was open so much. So, it could take a few hours to stabilize. The only thing we had to do is they asked us to resubmit to Home Shield to get them to come out a third time. We didn’t get charged for it. It’s just some procedural thing, maybe because the ticket got closed.

    We’ve been with American Home Shield for more than two years. And one thing we like a little more is having the option to choose what place fixes our stuff. Because with this one, we felt like the first technician who came the first couple of times wasn’t qualified to fix it. And the third guy, the guy who came this time, is different, and we think he fixed it.

    And so, I don’t know whether we can choose which companies will come. But with the first guy who came for the refrigerator, we think he knew what needed to be done. He was trying to charge us for parts that we knew were covered by the insurance. But the way that he addressed the situation seems like he wants to charge us. And he was not very honest when he addressed the situation. The part was covered by the Home Shield.

    And then, we had a similar situation with a plumbing thing twice, where one of the plumbers didn’t seem to know what he was doing. They said that it’s not covered by AHS, and that we’re gonna need to pay extra. And it seemed like they were trying to make side money on the thing. And one time, we just told them, “No, this is covered.” And then, they fixed it. But he tried to convince us to replace the whole system, instead of replacing one part.

    So, sometimes you have a not-so-great experience with a company. Maybe you wanna try someone different the next time, if that’s an option. But at least from my experience going on the website, they say who’s gonna contact me. And so, we’re a little disappointed one time because it’s that company again. They don’t work good. But then, thesecond time they came through, they were good. The first time, they were bad. And the third time, they were bad again. I guess it’s just which technician to get out of them.

    I understand that technicians are gonna be different and that’s a whole different experience. It’s just that we haven’t used Home Shield that long, but we’ve been in Vegas for a couple of decades. And so, we know that certain companies are good and certain ones have not been good. And sometimes it’s based on people they have with commissions and they try to upsell you. And other ones, they don’t do the commissions. They pay their guys well, so they’re a little more honest.

    Everything seems to be nickel and dime as far as the repairs from American Home Shield. It works, but compared to paying a regular repair company, getting the job done would probably be a lot more thorough. I had to schedule my time to be around for all the time that they want me for two to three hours. They came out with a replacement part, but it didn’t solve the problem. The next visit, they came without the part.

    On the third visit, they finally had the correct parts and were able to fix it. But they only replaced the squeaky wheel. Every other service provider would replace all four wheels. I wasn't happy about that. There was something broken. When I pointed it out to them. They said it was okay. So I had to tell them that if it’s broken, they have to fix it. This service took a lot longer than I hoped for. They didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience.

    American Home Shield is the lesser of all evils. I stuck with them because I had some familiarity with them in the past, and they have a little bit more coverage. But every time we turn around, they're cutting back. Before, they used to cover things for $4,000. Now, if you read the fine print, the $4,000 coverage in the past, with the same rates, has dramatically dwindled down to $1,500. They put all kinds of restrictions and everything else, so that you can't use whatever it is. I'm just lucky that the things that have failed on me have been simple things. It's more fine print than ever before. You have to read through the qualifications for the repairs with a lawyer to make sure that things are covered.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield for a few month and so far, it's working like a treat. I go to their webpage and schedule a visit. Their webpage is easy to navigate and their online service is really easy to work with. They tell me that somebody will be contacting me. Myers is really good with saying they’ll get us scheduled and sending text messages like “Remember your appointment tomorrow," and on the day of the appointment, "Your tech is on the way.” It was smooth.

    We found out that an evaporative unit wasn't draining. The tech blew the pipe out and it started draining. We thought we're good, but then it did the same thing. He had to come back out and replace the valve, and that fixed that issue. Then the same unit’s outside fan was not turning when the cool was engaged. He diagnosed it, and as soon as he had opened up the access panel, he knew I had a bad capacitor. He switched it out and we were done. It’s been working ever since.

    It was a pleasant experience all three times with Myers. We got the same tech, too. My area is remote, about 55 miles east of Birmingham. Myers only comes out here on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But despite that, the last time I called them on a Friday and they came out the next Tuesday. AHS was good as far as scheduling the service and following up. Overall, I would recommend AHS. Their monthly cost is very competitive. I had a home warranty with another company and it was costing me $125 a month. AHS is $35 a month. That's not bad at all comparatively.

    America Home Shield keeps sending people who cannot do the work. Their contractors are not knowledgeable enough to fix the situation. We had big issues with the AC. Their contractor only said what was wrong and that he can get a part. So, we just went with the guy whom we knew and had him fix the problem and put in the freon.

    I filed a claim with American Home Shield for my refrigerator. It wasn't getting cold and wasn't making ice. The second person they sent out found out it was the fan. It’s been almost a month, and we’ve been out of the refrigerator. I had to get a small, compact refrigerator just to keep the condiments in.

    I never did hear anything from American Home Shield about the parts, if they’re going to cover it or what to do. I had to call the contractor myself to find out what the deal was. He told me the fan did come in, which I did not get a return call letting me know. I had to make all the decisions as far as calling and finding out what’s going on. I’m very disappointed. It hasn’t been fixed yet. He’s supposed to come out with the part and fix it.

    The technician was fine, but the claim process was crap. I called about my refrigerator because a shelf was broken and the water was dripping on the floor. The leak was repaired, but supposedly, you don’t cover the broken shelf.

    I’ve had American Home Shield way too long. I think I’m gonna quit ‘cause you’re not like you used to be, you’re not covering anything. The three things I’ve called about, you’re not covering any of them. I would not recommend American Home Shield to anybody right now.

    We just moved into our home in June, and we thought it’d be a good idea to get home warranty coverage. The implication in the advertisement was overpromising compared with what we actually got covered. It sounds all rosy when you read the brochures, but when you get right down to it, it kind of underperforms. The coverage could be more defined and clarity in the promotional material is needed.

    I had an issue with the dryer, and the contractor came and said that it looked okay. He told me that I needed to clean the outlet where all the lint goes, which we did, and it still did not change the performance of the dryer. So, we ended up replacing the dryer on our own. The contractor was really underperforming. To be fair, our garage door opener did fail, and the contractor came out to fix it, so that was replaced under the coverage. I feel like I spent more money than I got.

    In terms of American Home Shield’s customer service, they were very responsive and quick. The people they sent out were good, so it’s just the coverage that was disappointing. I would be hard pressed to tell a friend of mine to use American Home Shield again.

    American Home Shield used to be really good, but over the last 10 years they have gradually started to decline. I’m not sure if they started cutting people or if the quality of the third-parties that they were hiring just wasn’t there. It just started to fall apart.
    I had an issue with a dryer that wasn’t heating. The contractor came out and just looked at it. They ordered parts but didn’t set an appointment. When they did set an appointment, it was for the following week. A different person came to put the parts in, but the wrong parts were ordered, and so they burned another component in the dryer. They had to reorder parts again, and that took around two to three weeks of them coming in and out trying to fix things.

    During all of this, I couldn’t get ahold of American Home Shield. When a representative finally called back, they were able to put the parts in it three weeks later. The same thing happened with my refrigerator and a plumbing issue. It took around two to three weeks each time to get someone out to fix the problem. You can’t get ahold of anybody and there’s no communication at all. The people who they have servicing these things are terrible. These are companies that I would never call.

    We had the plumber out a couple of times. The first time, it was for a plugged the toilet. Second time was with the sink. They came out for the sink a second time. I had two problems. One of them they tried to fix the last time, and they didn’t quite fix it. The first time they came out was for a plugged master toilet. It was hard to flush. He fixed the plugged toilet and went back to fix the other one, and it was a little bit better but not much.

    The next time we called them out, the sink was in a new home. We’re not used to the disposal. I basically put some potato peels down the garbage disposal, and I thought I’d gotten them all taken care of. It ended up plugging up the kitchen sink. The plumber told me potato peels are the one thing that you really shouldn’t put down there.

    The second time, I called them out for that same thing. It got plugged up again, so he came out and he unplugged it for me. And the back toilet, I had also called it in with that call and said that the master toilet was still flushing real hard. He replaced something and everything is fine.

    I’m happy with AHS but the only problem I had with the sink was they couldn’t get someone out here until four days later. But it was fixed, so I was unhappy with that.

    There were four different contractors from American Home Shield that came to my house. My dual wall ovens were having an issue. The first guy came out and diagnosed it, and said it was the igniters.

    They agreed not to do the work. The next three contractors that came were the same thing. They didn’t want to do the work because it would entail two people which the contractors couldn’t spare.

    I had contacted the manufacturer that made my oven. They told me they have a guy that I could call who works on their units. The technician was not really far from my house, and he agreed to come out.

    I’ve been telling American Home Shield the whole time that I finally got a person and was asking if the warranty would allow him. I kept calling back and sending texts, but there’s no response. I get a different person every time I call, and they were from offshore and had a real heavy accent.

    I finally asked American Home Shield for a cash in lieu so that I could get my own guy. They’ve already wasted over a month sending people out, only to find out they didn’t wanna do the work. They representative said they were gonna discuss and figure it out. I waited over a week then called back, and they said it’s still pending.

    In the end, the warranty agreed to cut me a check that was way below what the actual repair would cost. It wouldn’t cover the parts. Take it or leave it, basically, is what they said, so I took it. I paid out of my pocket for the service call fee, plus the additional fee to get my ovens fixed. The oven works fine now.

    The guy came out and was able to do everything, and even calibrated my ovens. It was wonderful. The other guys from American Home Shield, one of them didn’t know what he was doing. So, I think I gotta say goodbye to American Home Shield.

    It was like that when I did my air conditioner the first time. The blower motor was bad. The guy who installed it told me to go through my home warranty service to get it replaced. I called American Home Shield and made a claim.

    The contractor who came out tried to sell me a cleaning service for the fan blades before they would do the work. I told them I don’t want it and will clean the fan blades myself. They insisted that I buy the cleaning service or else they wouldn’t be able to work on my air conditioner.

    So, I paid $400 for that. It cost more, but I negotiated it down to something lower. They finally replaced the blower motor and did the cleaning.

    I didn’t wanna fight with the warranty but I kept fighting with them. So, you could see my frustration with American Home Shield, especially the ovens. That was horrible. During those times that they come out, I had to wait and stay with them the whole time. It just ruined my day. If they could change their ways, maybe they’d be better.

    My furnace was out, so it was affecting my air conditioner and I couldn’t run it. The first person they sent here was Hansen Mechanical. They came on 23rd of September. They told me that I needed a part and would call me back to let me know how long it would take.

    The representative told me it would take five to seven business days. I’ve been calling them all week asking for an update on when the part was coming, but they wouldn’t return my call. I called American Home Shield and they couldn’t reach the contractor either. They also couldn’t get me a new contractor.

    The first contractor canceled my appointment because the part hadn’t arrived yet. I called American Home Shield on Friday, but they couldn’t do anything for me till Monday. They said I have escalated the situation, so I have to wait for escalation to call me back

    Escalation didn’t call me. Also, it’s hot and I have a child here who has asthma. So, I called them on Monday, paid another service fee, and got another contractor out. The PRECO technician had the part in his car. The technician said it’s a universal part so he didn’t know why the previous company didn’t have it.

    So PRECO called American Home Shield and they told him it’s not covered. I waited two weeks for my air conditioner to be fixed. They could have told me that it wasn’t covered when the first contractor came. I could have just paid for it myself and got it fixed the next day.

    I ended up paying the new guy, sending them off, and canceling American Home Shield. It caused me a lot of anxiety and my family suffered. It was an absolute nightmare. American Home Shield offered me no help. They did not care.

    I understand they deny claims. But for me to wait two weeks on a part then tell me my claim is denied, it was unacceptable. It’s a terrible company and I wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy.

    Every time you call the warranty, it takes 30 minutes before you even get to talk to somebody. Then you talk to somebody, and you’re on the call with them for an hour. The customer service representatives are rude.

    It felt like they knew I was at their mercy. They knew what I’m going through and what they’re dealing with. Even the escalation team, they didn’t care about my situation.

    American Home Shield has increased their prices since I signed up. I started off at $69.99 and after six years, I was paying $139.99 for the same coverage. My deductible went up too.

    American Home Shield did cover a few things for me. You pay a service fee, but it’s a 50-50 chance that they’re gonna cover it when you call them. It’s not worth it. I can just put the money in a bank account and when something breaks, I’ll just fix it myself.

    American Home Shield can vet the repair people better. There are just some really wild people that come out here, little companies. Some of the technicians don’t speak very good English. Probably because they’re trying to save money and get the cheapest deal they can.

    Over the years, I’ve met some crazy people that just wanna hurry up, get in and get out, and not necessarily do the best job. But American Home Shield have always stood behind the claims. The technicians always come back and fix it if the people don’t do it right. So, I can’t complain.

    The warranty used to be reasonable. Now, it’s a lot more expensive, two or three times more than it used to be. Overall, it’s all right, pretty good.

    I called American Home Shield because the shut-off valve where the water comes into the house was leaking. It was dripping water into my basement. Before this particular time, they said they didn’t have anyone in the area. I would have to find my own person. I called American Home Shield again and told them we had trouble getting someone. Those people they finally found, Plumb Right Service Plumbing LLC, were an hour and a half away.

    The plumbers ended up calling us and saying they've got somebody that can come in earlier. They showed up when they were supposed to be there. He had to replace the shut-off valve. He came in, he took care of us, and everything’s good.

    I like the fact that if I call them, they get somebody. They come out and it’s taken care of. If the appliance could not be repaired, they replaced it. Paying $125 is a lot less than I would pay the plumber myself. Plumbers are expensive. We’ve had American Home Shield for 10 years. It serves me.

    American Home Shield sent out Kn Repair to fix my refrigerator. They are actually the only company with American Home Shield that gets it right the first time. I typically reach out by phone.

    My recent service call was for my garage door, and we still haven’t had anything resolved. The technician came out, and they said that they had to get a part. I guess they had to talk to American Home Shield. They told my husband the whole thing needed to be replaced. Then AHS guys said that they couldn’t replace the whole thing, but certain things could be replaced.

    So, we’ve had trouble with our garage door before, and it has been worked on several times. The guy came out and said I needed new rollers. Well, the garage has been broken at least three times since then, with the brand new rollers on it. So, it’s still not fixed, and we’re still having to park outside the garage. So, we need to get someone different. 

    So, I think for what we pay, it sucks. For $226 a month or $85 we pay, it’s too much. It’s close to $2,700 a year. And they replaced approximately one thing, maybe two partial things a year. For instance, last year or the year before last, it was our dryer. Our dryer is 20 years old or maybe a little more than that, and it’s not working. So, all they replaced was the heater coil. 

    When we first got American Home Shield, they had someone come out because our air conditioner stopped working. So, we didn’t know what was going on. So, AHS told them what they needed to do. And the guy said that it was not going to work and that it was wrong in the state. But AHS said that that’s all they’re going to do, and that’s what he should do. So, in the end, the guy did it. And then it broke several years later, and someone else had to come in, and he was shocked at what he saw. He said that I got a split unit and it was illegal in North Carolina. So, I told him that it was AHS who did it. So, American Shield makes the decisions, and we get the blunt end of it. 

    The only other thing is that when we had to replace our air conditioner after the split fiasco of the heating and air conditioner that we had, and it cost us $9,200 out of our pocket. American Home Shield only paid $2,200, and we had to pay $9,200 to get it replaced. So, that was the biggest one. But it wouldn’t have happened if American Home Shield hadn’t made the other guy put a part on there that was against the North Carolina code, and that was the reason for the whole unit having to be pulled out and redone. The other piece was our refrigerator, but they paid half, and then we had to pay the other half. But that was because we wanted to upgrade, but that part was on us. So, I was okay with that.

    So, we’re trusting American Home Shield to get the contractors who are best suited to do this job, to do it sufficiently right, and we’re trusting them to do it, and not overcharge us for anything extra. But what’s happened this time was they come out, and we thought they’re gonna come out and adjust it, but no, it’s gonna be 330 some more dollars, other than the $100 that we just paid for them to come out, besides the 220 some dollars we pay a month. So, we are looking for other home warranties now.

    I had an appliance issue, and American Home Shield sent two companies out. Supreme Appliance was the good one, and the other one wasn’t. The technician from Supreme was respectful. He came in, took a look at the appliances, and worked on them. He didn’t just cop an attitude like this other little person did and come to his own conclusions. He let me know when he was on his way here. He was just professional. And my issue was taken care of in a timely manner.

    At first, it was bad because they sent this young man out. He came in a little beat-down Chrysler van with no person’s name on it and no company’s name on it. He came in not professional at all, and he followed up at not being professional. But after I questioned AHS on what they did, they came back, and they did well. This young man from Supreme Appliance was good. He was a little older and more mature.

    My problem with most of the companies nowadays is that they have these people on the phone who don't have English as their primary language, and there is a language barrier. But nothing else is wrong with them other than they give you these people who do not understand all the terminology in English that we have.

    Getting American Home Shield was the worst mistake of my life. I spent so much money with them, but they denied my first one and only claim with them. It was a very good experience the first nine years we had them because we didn’t have any claims. They just took our $90 a month and there was no problem. We had small things happen, but we never turned them in. We just handled them ourselves. When we had a large claim with our main AC unit that went out, they denied it, saying that the contractor found no problem. It wasn't even running. I followed it for a little while until I absolutely lost my motivation to keep on. That’s what they do. They wear people down so they’ll just give up. I gave up, and we paid $9,000 to have a unit put in. I just canceled them.

    American Home Shield sent Accord Appliance out and it went fine. They came out in less than a week after I called in my claim. The refrigerator and the washer are now working great. The only thing was when I had a call-in for the air conditioning. This claim took place at the same time that I called in for the appliances. AHS sent somebody out but then the estimate from the company was around $4,000. I thought, "Where is American Home Shield for that?" They were not there to help and they didn't give any explanation.

    This wasn't the first time that American Home Shield didn't cover things. A couple of years ago, I had other air conditioning problems and they didn't cover those. They said that they just didn't cover the parts.

    When I purchased the policy, it'd make various repairs. But obviously, when something goes wrong, it seems to me like they find a reason not to cover it. Also, their price keeps going up every year.

    I've had AHS since 1998 and when I've had a claim, it's always been taken care of. I made my call and I would have somebody within the next two days at my house. I've never had a problem.

    Recently, I put in a claim to AHS because my pool pump was going out. Filing the claim online was easy. I paid $100 for someone to come out. When someone came over, they said they couldn't do it until it went out. They said the pump still works and it was just making noises and it was heating up. If it happens to go out in another month, then that money will still be good. Otherwise, I have to pay another $100.

    American Home Shield was okay, but I wasn't a big fan of how that whole transaction went down. My oven went down, and they cut me a check. They sent five different people who said five different things. I waited four weeks to get my oven replaced because these sorry companies were not putting the information in. The whole system is a headache. I was paying $25 a month, and then they went up to $44. I don’t recall seeing a letter saying that my insurance was gonna go up. I didn’t like that.

    Some technicians were cool, but other people really just seemed like they didn’t wanna do the work. One guy said I needed a fan, another guy said I needed to change something in my electrical box. It’s a brand-new house. Obviously, something was wrong with the oven. They cut me a check, I put $600 to it, and got an oven. It worked. I never needed to change anything in my electrical box. It was the oven.

    I wish they had one company come out and service so they can keep track of what they diagnosed. If you send 10 different people, they’re gonna have 10 different answers. It doesn’t seem like they are real techs. I knew more than they did. That’s the only thing I would change. Currently, I’m looking to get out of my contract and get somebody else.

    My experience with American Home Shield wasn’t too good. I’ve been a customer with them for going on three years now. And it sucks that whenever something breaks, they call it normal wear and tear, and they don’t wanna pay for it. So, there’s no point in having home insurance for any equipment in the house.

    I have used AHS twice for the same issue with the air conditioning. The first one came up about the December timeframe or November of last year. And they came out and, supposedly, they did a cleanout of the air conditioning and the piping, so it didn’t leak. I had to call them back two days later because it was still leaking.

    So, they came and did a deeper cleaning, and they managed to get it to stop leaking. So, that lasted about six or seven months. And now, about a month ago, I had an issue. They came out, they were not there for five minutes, and they said that whatever cleaning they needed to do, it was gonna cost me $1,100. 

    And then, whenever I looked at their paperwork that they were leaving behind for me to sign, they said that they cleaned the pipe going out. And I know that that was not the case because you can’t do that in five minutes. So, I didn’t want to sign it. And so, I called AHS and reported it, and they gave me a credit for $125 that I paid. I haven’t even looked to see if they actually reimbursed me the money. So, I had to contract another company on my own dime and pay for them to come out and do the service that I thought I was getting with them. But on the customer side, whenever I talked to them, they seemed like they were trying to solve the issue.

    My washing machine had an issue, and AHS sent Sears out. They fixed it, but I do have one problem with them. The man had to come twice to actually fix it, but that’s not his fault. What I didn't like was that the window was too large, like 8:00 to 5:00, which is ridiculous. And I was the last one on the list. They came at 6:15 at night. And I think a lot of places do it 8:00 to 12:00 or 1:00 to 5:00. In other words, our time is valuable, too. So, if they had said 1:00 to 5:00, I had the whole morning to do whatever I had to, and then I came home at 1:00. 

    Before I moved here, I had a different place, and they used to give you a two-hour window. That could be hard. But I think the window has to be made smaller. I’m sure they can figure it out if they have eight calls and I’m the eighth one. 

    American Home Shield has a lot of vendors, and they told me that the smaller vendors give you a smaller window. Sears is a large vendor. So, I told them that from now on, I’m gonna ask for the smaller vendors. But they did a great job. They came out in a good amount of time, but it’s just too long a time to stay home.

    The other thing I didn’t like, and I don’t know if it’s just Sears or every vendor, but you can’t contact them. So, after waiting at home from 8:00, and it’s almost 4 o’clock at night, I cannot contact them. The American Home Shield gave me their number, but I couldn’t get a live person. And probably with a smaller vendor, you could do it. So, the communication wasn’t great. 

    But the representatives at AHS were good. And the price I got was also good. I got a good deal and just have to pay half the price, and not the full price, which was great.

That was a week and a half process. Then they said that the issue was with our coolant. They said that it was covered at $10 a pound but it actually cost us $190 a pound, which was a little insulting.

    I have been a customer of American Home Shield for 19 years. Unfortunately, my long-term loyalty has been met with repeated disappointment. Despite maintaining a premium plan, AHS has consistently fallen short in providing timely or effective repairs for major household systems such as our AC unit, water heater, and refrigerator.

    My most recent experience was the final straw. On 10/10/25, sent a vendor to assess our refrigerator, which had been repaired last year for the same issue but now there was leaking of the fridge as well. That vendor wouldn't touch the actual issue but ordered parts for other issues around the main one. When I asked about get a cash out to get a new refrigerator, it was a mess. I ended up in the resolutions department asking to cancel my warranty. The resolution agent quickly ordered a second opinion to get a complete assessment. When the next technician, from a new vendor, came I clearly told the technician that I did not want to waste their company’s money or time and specifically requested a diagnostic only, not a repair, as I was seeking a cash-out option for a replacement refrigerator.

    However, when I called AHS the next day, I was told that the vendor had already ordered parts, against my explicit request, and that AHS would no longer offer a cash-out. Instead, they told me I would have to accept the parts and "call back if the issue happens again". I was transferred to the Resolution Department and held for over 30 minutes, only to have to hang up when my next client arrived. During the call, I was told they would try to contact the vendor to see if the order could be stopped, but no resolution was provided. I’ve spoken to at least ten representatives during this time and only three seemed knowledgeable or empowered to help. Most seemed to give scripted responses, appeared unfamiliar with what previous reps told me or emails that were sent to me, and offered phrases like, "Sorry, that's all we can do", without any effort to genuinely assist.

    I absolutely do not fault anyone for having an accent, I understood them perfectly, but there is a clear disconnect in understanding customer advocacy and service recovery work for U.S. consumers. There was a very very distinct difference between the 7 reps I had to speak with that just apologized and encouraged me to go with the flow because there was nothing else that could be done and the 3 reps that got right to the issue or transferred as requested, without trying to stall or talk me out of my decision. AHS would do well to incorporate customer service training on the different nuances of the different regions of the US that AHS serves.

    After nearly two decades with AHS, I cancelled my warranty. Home warranties are supposed to provide peace of mind, but this experience has provided only stress, wasted time, and disappointment. After nearly 2 decades, I've put out 20K in monthly fees for a warranty and I've only have about 4K worth of work needed, much of which I had to pay out of pocket when AHS couldn't help.

    It's a scam. I recently purchased a home and after moving in noticed a strong gas smell by the gas meter. I called the city's gas company and they told me that the pipe connecting to the city's meter had a leak. They refused to repair the pipe because it was my home line not the city's line that needed repair. After contacting American Home Shield, they sent a technician to evaluate the pipe and confirmed that the pipe needed replacement. After their technician sent the photos to AHS, they called me up to tell me that because the pipe is not apart of my home, they didn't consider this as a part of my coverage and refused to pay. I mentioned that the city refused to pay because the pipe was considered a part of my home and they continued to read off a piece of paper doing everything they could to refuse coverage. What good is a home warranty company that won't pay for a gas emergency? They are a scam and I would avoid them like the plague!

    The compressor in my outside unit wasn't kicking off, so I called American Home Shield. Interacting with the reps have been very pleasant. I’ve had no problems with them. The company gave me the name of the person assigned to do the work. They called me 15 to 20 minutes before they arrived. The guy identified himself and seemed to be very knowledgeable of what he was doing. He looked around and asked me a few questions about the problem, such as the location of my unit and my circuit breaker box.

    They could have been quicker. I called on a Friday and it was Tuesday before they could get the technician out. At that time, it was up in the 90s in Texas, so it was very uncomfortable. But I was able to survive as long as I knew that they were going to take care of me. I was very satisfied with the way they handled my situation. I would highly recommend American Home Shield.

    My fridge was not cold enough for the food. There was even mold and so much condensation. I was throwing away food because they were spoiling. I don't know anyone in America who can afford to throw away food these days. I should be credited for the food loss. There was also a loud noise coming from the fridge. Despite that, the American Home Shield technician did essentially nothing. He came out twice and with his long, bright inspection light. He said that there’s nothing wrong with the fridge without doing proper testing.

    I told American Home Shield to never have the same technician come to my house again. But they didn’t listen. The same technician came and advised us to contact the appliance’s specialist to look into it. I'm not really happy about that at all. If they couldn’t do the job the first time, why should one think that they could do the job properly the second time? Then, the actual appliance specialist came out, but had to order parts, so I had to wait several weeks for that. After six weeks, the repair happened yesterday. The specialist was professional. It was ridiculous that I made so many phone calls about this. It was a horrendous experience.

    On another occasion, there was water on my carpet. When I told the representative that it was Sunday and I needed someone there that day or the next because it was an emergency and I had waited long enough, they said the earliest would be the next day, six days after my request. I then said I would find someone myself, even if I had to pay both, and so, I asked them to cancel it.

    When I escalated the issue, they said that they couldn’t do anything because I had canceled the request and there was a process for getting my own plumber. I explained that I canceled only because their representative told me to, after I had already called about it 10 times. They said to speak to the representative, and that was all they could do.

    My recent claim with AHS was for the stove top. My fan was broken. Everything was good. They came out within a day or two of the initial call. But they had to order a part, of course, and the part took probably a week or so. But once the part came in, they came out, they were able to schedule in the next day or two and they fixed it quickly.

    Back in January, I had some complaints because one of my items wasn't covered. So there was just some back and forth with that.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield on and off for about 25 years.

    Submitting a claim through American Home Shield’s online system is easy. They assigned the technicians very quickly. I don't have a problem with that. And I like their coverage because most companies will only cover major appliances that are in the house. American Home Shield covers. If you have two refrigerators like I do and ones in the garage, they cover both of them. So they're very flexible.

    I'm concerned that the contractor shouldn't even be in business. They're very rude on the phone. Their appointments are not accurate. They'll give you a time and they don't show up on time. The technician doesn't seem to know what he's doing. They don't seem to be very professional. And they lied to American Home Shield and said that everything was fixed and it wasn't.

    It was terrible. I've been on my second contractor for the same problem since June and they're no better. Not to be discriminatory, but they seem to be foreigners coming in. They're coming in from Ukraine and places like this. They have a hard time with the English language. And I don't know. They just don't seem to be professional. They know a little bit about it, but I think they're more. They're not very technically-oriented. I think their main thing is to replace parts. They don't try to troubleshoot it. They just order parts and replace parts.

    And the thing that's improved, I think they need to hire a better quality or vet their technicians better or their professionals that they're sending out there. They need to vet to make sure that they are all licensed in the area that they're gonna be servicing. Not necessarily just the company, but the actual technicians that come out should be licensed technicians. Not just somebody who knows how to hold a screwdriver.

    Astro Appliance, the company AHS sent out, was terrible. This was a hose for a washing machine. A certain maximum is allowed to be used for parts. First, they were telling me that they needed to get the approval from American Home Shield, I was chasing them for a week. After a week, they told me they had an allowance. It took them two weeks to get a hose replaced. We had a pile of dirty clothes waiting to wash. I ended up having to take it to a laundromat to wash my clothes because I needed to go on a trip. This company does washing machine repair, but they would not respond. I had to constantly call them.

    I usually have a great experience with American Home Shield. For a time there, I thought it may have been their fault, but it wasn’t. It had to do with the people at Astro that were working with American Home Shield maybe for the first time, but it was bad. I was not very happy. The interaction with American Home Shield has always been nice. Even the representative from Astro was really good. Just nothing was getting done.

    The lady called to thank us and to tell me how things were going, and I said things were great, but American Home Shield needed to approve my claim. She kind of argued with me and I argued back and I got very upset. I had a really bad experience with that lady. We’ve been using American Home Shield for more than 10 years now. That was the only time it was a negative experience, but I don’t think it was her fault. I would think it was just that I had wrong information.

    Since they repaired the washing machine, I have not had any other issues at all. They got the right part. It just took two weeks. We’ve been using American Home Shield for a long time. We have it in our rent house and in our own house. I’m a real estate agent, and I’m gonna continue to refer it to my clients. AHS is a great company.

    I submitted a claim to AHS for my furnace. The ductwork was rusted out, and LNS Services did fix it for me. They came back and fixed it like they needed to. Everything’s working fine now.

    The thing about American Home Shield is they charged 125, and then the first call with LNS, nothing was covered. I had to pay for everything as far as the ductwork. On top of the service fee and monthly fee, I had to pay extra because it wasn’t covered.

    I love American Home Shield. Other warranty companies call me, and all I have to do is say that I already have a home warranty plan and I just love it, and they hang up on me. I don’t use it too often except when I have to. I do try to use those check-up ones to prevent any problems down the line, like this last time when they came out for AC check-up for the winter.

    I had an issue with the washer that took two months. The first guy who came out said he couldn’t do anything about it, so he didn’t even attempt to fix it. The second person came out and said he needed another person, but they would try to fix it. He fixed two pieces, but it needed a third one. The price of the part was too expensive to get, so they recommended a replacement. When the new washer came in, it matches the one I had before. It was awesome! This one was as big as the old one and it had all the features. What's better is that the seal of the door is not made out of rubber but made out of something else that keeps from getting mold. It was really nice.

    There’s water all over the garage floor. I dialed the number for American Home Shield, spoke to an actual person, and they set it up. The representative was good. There was nothing misleading. Sigmond Plumbing came, examined the water heater, and called it into their office. Their office got ahold of American Home Shield, and then we set up an appointment for them to come back out. I was also told the charge that I would be expected to pay. Within two weeks, the claim was completed.

    The guys that showed up were real professional. They did a good job and were working from the time they got here to the time they left. There was no trying to upsell anything by the actual people that came in and did the install. American Home Shield paid for the unit, but I had to pay $1,700 to have the thing installed with the new piping. Some of it was bringing it up to code. I would say to read the contract carefully so you have a better understanding of what is covered and what is not. There was a level of dissatisfaction when I found out that I would be on the hook for $1,700. I think more clarity is needed about what actually is being paid for, and then what is not.

    I have been with American Home Shield for 18 years now. Their customer service is kind of variable. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not. Other times, it’s better.

    There are a lot of costs that they don’t disclose. I had my furnace replaced, and I thought everything was gonna be completely covered, but I ended up having to pay $1,200. And when my hot water tank went, I had a similar experience, and I paid $500.

    Right now, I’ve got the Platinum plan, which is their highest level plan. And I had an issue with my air conditioning, it wasn't working, they refused to pay the claim because they said it was due to rodent damage. I had to pay the service call while they weren’t paying any of it, which was really shady since I don’t remember reading that rodent damage wasn’t covered. I also had another complaint about my washing machine, which took two or three weeks for them to address, making me wait a long time for things I thought were covered.

    The whole reason I have this warranty plan is that I don’t have to pay out of pocket. They also said that they would offer an annual furnace checkup. I got a call and they said, there’s nobody in my area, so they supposedly are sending me $100 that's supposed to go towards the furnace checkup, but I still haven't received it, even though they say they’re gonna take care of it. There are a lot of things that are sneaky about it.

    The price I pay to have someone from American Home Shield come out is good. I call them over the phone, and the customer service reps are real good. I probably wait one or two days, and the tech comes out. It’s a quick turnaround. Usually, my husband or one of our nephews are home. The tech explains to them what they found was wrong. It’s much easier to have them. We’ve never had a problem. They’re really good at what they do.

    I've been with AHS for quite a few years. Their customer service is pretty good. However, if I want anything done, it requires me to do more work every time. They say no to everything, and then I have to argue.

    When it comes to their technicians, most are really pretty good. But I just recently had one that found an issue, and it was gonna require crawling under the house. Magically, they can't do anything that requires going under the house or in the attic. It's not a great, fun job, but that's what they do for a living.

    I don't know if it's because American Home Shield doesn't pay them to do those extra things, but I had an attic situation and an under the house, and both, I had to call back a second time. They said, "Oh, I'm sorry, we can't fix that." I said, "Yes, you can. The technician just didn't want to." But they sent out a second person that did complete the task.

    Also, my prices increase every single year, every time I use it. It's almost doubled over the time since I started. Now, it's not cost-effective. For what I pay a year, I could pay the technician. It's now hit that point where it's not a deal any longer.

    My dryer had a mind of its own. One day, it would heat up and the next day, it wouldn't. It would start to heat up and it would go out while it was drying. But ultimately, it would not dry. I filed a claim online to AHS and it was pretty simple. It gives you dates and times to pick from. But there's just one question on there where I feel like it's kind of the same thing between not heating up and not drying.

    Then Sears came out. The major issue for me with Sears is that when you call their phone number, you get an automated system. There is no one to physically speak to 9 times out of 10 without calling 500 different phone numbers and pressing every button under the sun.

    It was also a very long process. We opened two different tickets. The first ticket started in August and they closed it. 10 minutes after that Sears technician, we had to open it again. And unfortunately, they don't have a “supervisor” or somebody above the technician that comes out for you to speak to when you have an issue.

    I called American Home Shield because I pay them and they're the ones that contracted Sears. And even reaching out to American Home Shield and it going to escalations, the people that I pay to take care of these things are saying there's nothing they can do and it's up to Sears.

    But they said they couldn't recommend a replacement until Sears said it's not fixable. Nobody could ever figure out what was wrong with my dryer. And it took two months, four different technicians, and multiple phone calls. At the two month mark, somebody finally decides to go, “I don't know what's wrong with it.”

    And then after that, it took another two weeks because somehow, the report from Sears to American Home Shield got lost. At no point in time did AHS say, “Wait a minute. You've been out to our client's home multiple times and you still can't fix it, then you all need to put in for a replacement.”

    I was without a dryer for two months and had to take it into my own hands to finally buy one. I would not go with AHS. Maybe 5 or 10 years ago they were great. But at this point in time, I would not pay them $100 a month, hoping and crossing my fingers that if something breaks, that they're going to fix it. I would not recommend them.

    I had a claim where ATL Agile Repair came for the dishwasher. You pushed the power thing and it wasn't doing anything. The water wouldn't come out. They sent out a work order to the company and they called me up. But what happened was, he so-called fixed it. He turned it on and said let the cycle run out, and then he left. Then we came out, there was water on the floor. He came back the next day and he said something about the hose being clogged up. He did something to it and said it should be okay, and he ran the cycle again and left. And now the water won't drain all the way out and we have to just scoop it out. I haven’t called them back about it yet. But I’ve had American Shield for about five years, and it's reliable and it saves you money.

    I submitted my claim online for the garbage disposal. It ended up being literally nothing at all. He just pushed a button and it was fixed, then showed me how to do it if it happens again, and it was $125. I tried everything before he got here, but it was something that you just don't know unless you know things about garbage disposals. We did have our garage serviced as well, and it ended up not being covered by American Home Shield. I looked over the plan that we have and there are things that they don't cover with the garage, like the rollers, which is exactly what was broken on ours. So we paid $125 for them to come out, and on top of that, we had to pay $700 to have what was broken fixed. And now the garage door doesn't work anymore, so I need to call them. I think that American Home Shield could be helpful for the right thing. We just got blessed that nothing terribly wrong happened to our house in a year.

    Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent service experience. We're glad to hear you had a positive interaction with the garage service technician. We understand your concern regarding the service fee, especially when the resolution appears simple. Please note that the service fee is charged to initiate the request and have a qualified technician diagnose the issue. While we recognize your frustration with the associated cost, this fee is standard across all service requests and cannot be adjusted. However, we encourage you to contact our Customer Service team to explore alternative plan and service fee options that may better suit your needs.

    Please also keep in mind that coverage under the service agreement is not all-inclusive. There may be instances where certain repairs or components fall outside the scope of coverage, resulting in out-of-pocket expenses. If you need assistance with an active service request, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

    I just signed up with them for the first claim. The contractor came out, checked the refrigerator, and the compressor was bad. He took the compressor off and said that they would try to get approved to get a new compressor for the refrigerator. But they didn't do that. I ended up calling them to follow up. And this was almost a week later, and she said she was gonna do it that day. I then called American Home Shield, who confirmed there was no request, so they called the contractor. And they requested it with the person who called from American Home Shield and had it approved. After it came, they sent somebody to put it in. They replaced the compressor and the refrigerator is doing fine, but it just took longer than what it should have taken.

The one for contractors to come out is $125. That's a little steep. Their competitors are a lot lower than that.

But this don’t happen here. I did not know that I have to pay too because I was thinking American Shield was going to cover for the whole thing.

Another contractor came out, and they ended up just fixing the issue.

    There was an AC company that came out because the house was taking too long to cool. He found the issue immediately by looking in the attic and seeing this huge hole where air was blowing.

Sears took off the panel from the front of the dryer, found that the belt was broken, and spent two hours fixing it. It was amazing.

    Most of the companies that American Home Shield sends out are great. I just had a situation where they sent the same gentleman that didn't fix my dryer to come fix my toilet.

And unfortunately, I have to pay again because it's past the 30 days.

    I have been paying for the home warranty for a year. I had an A/C failure and reported it to AHS. They assigned the work to AW Puma who indicated to me they were too busy and needed weeks to schedule appointments. They have come out twice and haven't actually completed any repair, the first appoint to say yes, AC is leaking. Are currently blaming the lack of repair on a part that isn't available yet I called the manufacturer and they told me 25 sit on the shelves, just place an order. I hate to call this a scam but why I am I paying for a warranty if it takes 3 months to repair an A/C system. What would they do if this was heating during the winter?

    HORRIFIC experience with how they handled my A/C issue. I purchased the warranty 1 year ago and began to have issues with my 32-year old unit which began to blow hot air. They sent Action Mechanical, Inc. who was awful and are liars! The technician, Rick, told me the compressor was out, but when I told him Parker & Sons was out the day before and told me compressor was fine, Rick changed his tune and said, "let me check it again. Yeah, it's running fine." Then he said my unit was very old and AHS would not be covering most or all the parts I needed to have it running and up to speed. He left and put in for an for replacement of thermal expansive valve, evaporator coil, sediment trap, lock-in caps, drain line, elevation kit, float switch and duct work modification.

    American Home Shield sent me an email letting me know I had to pay $5325 to get all that replaced, or accept a cash-in-lieu of $168. That's right!!! $168 is all they offered as cash-in-lieu. I spent 2 mos dealing with AHS agents in the PHILIPPINES who kept telling me they would need to have someone call me back in 24 hrs.

    Two whole months of battling w/them got me no where! Oh, and if I wanted a new unit, I would have to pay ~$8k out of my pocket for a low-quality noisy unit but, and per Action Mechanical who I was forced to use being they were the original outfit sent to my house, it would only be the unit. The parts required would need to come from the old unit. That's right!!! The parts would be the 32-y/o parts. WHAT AN INSULT!!! The best warranty out there is OLD REPUBLIC, or Home Choice. Don't ever use AHS. I'm including an image of the check of $168 from FRONTDOOR who is the parent company of service plan brands for American Home Shield. I got the check, but cancelled the warranty the following day!

    I have been a customer with American Home Shield since 2016. I made one claim in 2017. I have not made any claims since. I requested service on September 9, 2025 for an issue with my dryer. The company came out and said that the dryer was filled with lint and I needed to pay an additional $120 for them to clean the dryer. We cleaned the lint but the dryer still did not work. Then it was discovered that there was an issue with the breaker. We had that resolved, but now there is an issue with the wiring. American Home Shield has not covered the repair of the breaker and is not covering the issue with the wiring. American Home Shield is not worth the headache. You pay for years for this service, but when you need them, they will find every reason to not cover your repairs or replacement. My story is not unique. There have been plenty of stories citing the same issue. I have no faith in any warranty company. Save your money yourself and pay for the repairs.

    I'm always pleased with customer service. And they do everything possible to make things happen proficiently and quickly.

    The contractor was very friendly. He did make a mistake on the way it was installed, which happens. So, what I did was I called back the company and contacted the owner. And I sent pictures. And he came right back out. He wasn't upset. He was very nice, and apologized for the mistake. And it was resolved very amicably. After the repair, there have been no issues since.

    I recently had a plumbing issue. The issue was that my washer was backing up. Not the actual washer, but the plumbing that drains to the outside of the house, it was coming back up through the drain of the washer.

    I submitted the claim over the phone, and the process itself was easy.

    Esequile Maldonado is excellent. He's been there before, and he always tells me, Okay, I'm gonna be there between 8:00 and 9:00, and he's there a few minutes past 8:00, which I love because we both work. So, he's always on time, does what he needs to do, and he's out of there quickly.

    I’ve had experience in the past with a refrigerator icemaker repair. When I was trying to fix my icemaker on my refrigerator. I submitted the claim in April, and it didn't get fixed till August. Yes, it was horrible. The repairman that they assigned to me, JS or JG, something like that, he wouldn't answer my calls. He tells me, Yes, I'm on my way, and there I am waiting all day, and he doesn't show. And he did it to me for several times. It was horrible. And I kept telling American Shield, I'm gonna call you again tomorrow if he doesn't show up.

    From April until August. And that's because I kept harassing American Home Shield, or else he wouldn't have shown up, days before, anything was finally resolved.

    I'm satisfied with American Home Shield except when I've had a big fight with them because I told them, You take my money out of my account for my monthly bill like clockwork, and then I need help, and where are you? Nobody's here. So, I bugged them, and I think they just got tired of hearing from me that they finally sent this man out.

    The only thing that could be improved is the repairmen that they assigned. I'm gonna be here at this hour, to be there at that hour. People have jobs. We have to get out of the house. That's the only thing. And that's why I always pick Mr. Maldonado because he tells me, I'm gonna be there, and he's here.

    I’ve been with AHS for six months. My most recent service was the Direct Appliance, and the experience was good. The technician was knowledgeable, he repaired the dishwasher.

    I submitted my claim through the app, and I thought it was good. I would say the only negative is I had to be proactive in reaching out to the vendor. I don't think if I hadn’t called the vendor, that he would have called me, maybe. I don't know. Who knows? I don't know. I was maybe a little too proactive.But, everything was great. I could see some customers might expect a home warranty itself as like, “Hey, one call, we take care of it.” I think some consumers might be under the impression that they don't have to lift that finger.

    I had an issue with the first provider assigned, and I still had to pick up the phone and make changes.

    The app could be improved if we can cancel an existing service call if a vendor is being non-responsive. Like in my case, it was initially assigned to GE Appliance Direct. And basically, you get them back out there. It was like a whole thing, so they reassigned it to Direct Appliance, who was great. The guy was great. But I had to call to cancel it. There were issues canceling the request for GE. And if I could have just done that over the app and had the app redispatch it, it would have been a lot smoother.

    My recent claim with American Home Shield was for our air conditioner. The AC was not cooling, I believe, the fan outside or something. I'm sorry, it was my husband who handled it, so it was not me. But they came promptly. Apparently, he thought he had to order a piece or something, and then he came back, and he fixed it right away.

    The claim itself was submitted online, and we’ve used AHS online tools before without any issues.

    We haven’t had any problems since the repair. That was just a few weeks ago, and then we were gone for vacation for two weeks. Actually, I wanna say that it was like maybe 10 days prior to us leaving. We just got home Saturday, and that means we've only been using the AC, literally, the past two days, three days.

    The only thing that I can honestly say is when I did try to make the transfer, because I had the American Home Shield in my previous home, which I sold, and then I started up in this house, and I absolutely dislike having to deal with it. It seems like an office center that is through, I guess, Indians, and I have no issue with them, but I cannot understand them. And literally, it's just such a hard issue because then I ended up being billed again when I wasn't supposed to be billed, and then I did get credit for it. That's the biggest complaint that I can honestly tell you. I started up the house over here, and I told them to stop the payment at the other previous home. And I didn't get billed for one month, and then I got billed the following month, which made no sense to me. But yeah, that was the biggest complaint that I can tell you. It was just transferring over. But with the people that come and help us out and do the work, we've never had any issues. Everything's been so prompt all the time.

    I definitely recommended American Home Shield to many of my friends because we keep telling them over and over, We just pay the $100 upfront and then everything else is paid for, and it pretty much pays itself.

    My normal AC service people were here doing their normal six-month service, and they said that I had a leak in the system. They thought it was in the coils so I put a request in to American Home Shield. They contacted a contractor and he came out, looked at it and said there was a leak. The best he could tell was back in the back corner, but he said that the leak was probably caused from the corrosion or the mildew that had been accumulated on the coils. He wrote up a long report to American Home Shield. They then said that because the mildew was there before, they were gonna deny the claim, but that the contractor would come in, pull the coils out and fix the leak, but it was $1,225.

    I told him no because I was in construction for 15 years and I have enough contacts to talk to AC people, and they told me there's no way in hell that that that mold would cause the leak in the coil system. Plus my service people come every six months, and when they were here in March, the AC had pressure and everything was good.

    I didn't like the contractor's attitude either, because as soon as he pulled it off, he said, “You know you got mold in here.” This is the state of Florida. There's mold everywhere. I called American Home Shield the other day and asked if there was a possibility that I could pay another $125 and get another contractor to come out. They said if I had done it within seven days, they could have arranged for another contractor to come out and get a second opinion but at that point, they couldn't do anything. Of course, nobody had told me about that.

    I was so upset that I almost canceled the whole warranty with American Home Shield. I had First American Home Warranty before, and the only reason I was changing is because they had raised their prices quite a bit from the last time that I signed up with them. I had a thing with them where I had a hot water heater that went out. And they came in and they replaced it with a brand new one. I had no problems. First American Home has called me a couple of times now asking me if I would like to re-sign up, and I may just bite the bullet and spend a little more money and go with somebody that I have faith in.

    The only incentive I ever received from American Home Shield was they credited my service call fee. They just did it as a treat for how long I’ve had the account. It was just a random credit.

    It’s always good. Honestly, it’s the most hassle-free warranty I’ve ever had to deal with. I had to do car warranties, and it’s really the worst. I’m grateful for American Home Shield, actually. It’s never been a yucky experience at all.

    When we first moved into this house, we had Old Republic. That was what came with the house from the previous homeowners. I didn’t renew it and got canceled.

    I went to go get it again and was looking at reviews. American Home Shield was a better price for better perks. The amount that they covered was more, plus some.

    You know how there are those car warranties that are the most expensive one, but they cover 555 compartments while others are 100? That’s American Home Shield compared to other home warranties I’ve seen. The coverage that they offer is really nice.

    I’ve had it for five years now, and it’s only gone up once. I used to pay $89, and then it went up to $94.99. It went from a $75 copay to a $100 copay, but I haven’t had to pay a penny since.

    I’ve only had one bad experience with a contractor, and it wasn’t even their fault. When I called the warranty to talk about them, they said they were going to put them under their business account, so they know I had a negative experience.

    I’ve had seven visits total for the claims that I’ve submitted, and it’s all been good. It was all for the same problem. We have almost a 4,000-square-foot house with one AC unit. But they’ve all been good contractors, except the one.

    I’d recommend American Home Shield. I tell everybody that if they ever need a home warranty, just do American Home Shield. It saves a lot of hassle.

    A gas range will not stay operable and this has been going on for eight weeks. Our tech has been very frustrated because things haven't worked. But he was very good and determined to solve the problem. He has been chasing the issues. He'd come out, repair something and replace something. He would test it and it would work. Then he would leave and it wouldn't work anymore. That's happened with these replaced panels. He's replaced igniters and valves. It's been a battle. We'll see if this new part that they put in solves the problem. Today he replaced another board and it's working at the moment. It's the last thing that he can try, so if that doesn't work then we need to talk about a replacement.

    We've been with AHS since we bought our home 14 years ago. It's pretty easy to submit a claim. The contractors have been good. For my most recent claim, the contractor came out and fixed it, and it's been good since. It’s just getting more expensive, which is unfortunate. So, it’s causing me to start looking elsewhere. But AHS has been reliable and I love the convenience of having the coverage.

    I filed a claim for my garbage disposal. AHS sent a plumber to come and check it. He turned it on and it was working, but he said a piece of glass got in there. He said the only way they could get it out was they would have to cut the garbage disposal, and my warranty wouldn't cover that. I would have to pay for that. So, I just left it alone. I just put something in the sink to keep the food from going down there, and I just haven’t turned the garbage disposal back on.

    My toilet needs replacement. It took 1 week to get the 1st plumber out to look at it, then AHS said they needed a 2nd opinion. It took another week to get the second plumber out, the second plumber said it would be very hard to get AHS to approve the repairs and that he will refer a restoration contractor to me for repairs. The restoration guy wanted to remodel my entire bathroom and have me place a homeowners insurance claim. It was a total scam. Now it's 20 days with no toilet, and AHS has never followed up with my claim and my profile page isn't even updated with the second plumber visit info. I am left here completely confused - what is the warranty for?

    We’ve been with American Home Shield since 1988. We've had it in both of our homes. The claim process was really fast. They come out really quickly. If you put in the order today, they will call you within 24 hours.

    My housekeeper said that there was a leak in the toilet. When TNT Plumbing came and checked, they couldn't find the leak. And then, I wanted them to check the faucet, and they really couldn't do anything about that. It still turned on, but it was tight.

    Then they came out again because they had seen a water leak on the side of the house. It was the regulator. He checked the pressure, and he said the pressure was as high as 85. And then when they came back out to fix it, that's another $100. Every time I had to pay $100, they said that it was 65, it was fine. So for both times, they did nothing. I was just disappointed.

    There were things that they've replaced if they can't fix it or if they don't have the parts for it. When the old washer and dryer went out, they didn't have the parts. So, they gave us a new one. The stove was old, and they also gave us a new one. In that regard, it's been good.

    I just recommended them to my son and daughter-in-law. We've had it for years.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield since I moved in here 23 years ago, and I’ve enjoyed the service. Everything has been fine, and I’ve had a good experience. A number of things have been fixed, repaired, and replaced. I’m hoping nothing else breaks, but you never know. But if it does, then I’ll be calling American Home Shield.

    Submitting a claim online is easy. But sometimes in the past, I’ve made phone calls, and you get on hold. But when it’s simple, I usually do it online. I recently had some plumbing service a week or two ago. It was a minor issue. AHS sent Bullseye Plumbing. Two guys came out and took care of it well. They were fantastic. And I was happy with that. It’s good as new.

    In the past, what was exceptional was the prior plumbing company, His & Hers. They were over-the-top wonderful. And I was surprised when they assigned me Bullseye because I thought something was up. I found out from the guys who came from Bullseye that American Home Shield is separated from His & Hers as a contractor. 

    I don’t know what the reasoning was, but it must have been something between them. But the lady who always came out from His & Hers was beyond tops. She knew how to handle everything and analyze the problems. I had a lot more confidence in His & Hers over all the years we used them.

    So, I’m happy with AHS. I have a pretty good monthly coverage policy with them, and there hasn’t been any issues. But their price has gone up quite a bit. Right now,  it’s way up there. And then the service call used to be $50 or $60, then it went to $75. And now it’s $100. I understand everything goes up, but with everything I got covered, which I got almost everything covered, I’ll probably take a look at lowering the coverage to save some money. Because I think I’m at $138 or more a month.

    I’ve been an American Home Shield (AHS) customer for years, but this experience has been beyond frustrating. My oven cooktop broke five months ago, and since then, it’s been a never-ending loop of phone calls, missed commitments, and vendor changes. AHS assigned three different vendors over this period — each making five or more visits — and after countless hours on the phone with both AHS and their contractors, the cooktop is still broken. Every time a new vendor was sent, I had to start the entire process over again.

    After all this time and effort, AHS finally offered $400 as a “replacement” payout, which is laughable. That amount doesn’t even come close to covering a comparable cooktop. AHS has turned what should’ve been a simple repair into a five-month nightmare of poor coordination, unreliable service providers, and zero accountability. If you’re considering a home warranty to “save you the hassle” — think twice. With AHS, you’ll end up doing all the follow-up yourself and still be left with a broken appliance.

    I signed up AHS gold plan paying $39.99 a month for 3 months, since my property is a rental and tenants brought appliances, refrigerator, washer/dryer, so I decided to cancel home warranty plan. But the cancellation can't be done online by myself, the term is found in the FAQ, have to be calling in to speak to a live person to process the cancellation. Its waiting time is ridiculously long, over 1 hour! I don't think no one is available to take my call, but just want to discourage me, if I'm not able to wait for an hour, come back in another time. and ASH don't serve the cancellation call on weekends. You'll have really difficult time get it canceled.

    My most recent claim was to fix a ceiling fan. It was no longer working. The technician came in, diagnosed it correctly, then replaced it for me free of charge.

    He called within two days and was very professional. He was very personable, just did the work, and left. He did a great job at it and was fast.

    I’ve always had a positive experience with American Home Shield, never a problem. When I have a claim, it’s always dealt with directly. I like having the peace of mind that comes with it. I’ve had to fight them a few times on some issues, but they’ve been fine to me.

    I don’t mind being told no. But if I don’t understand what you’re saying to me, then I don’t think it’s fair. I’m gonna keep calling back until I get somebody who can explain it in a clear and concise form. Their reps are outsourced and not properly trained.

    I make all my claims on American Home Shield’s website, and I’ve had no issues with it. It’s easy to follow. I had two recent experience with them. I had the dryer and garbage disposal repaired.

    The garbage disposal was almost instant. I filed the claim Thursday night, and they had a repairperson there by Monday. The technicians brought a brand-new incinerator with them. They took the old one out, then put the new one in. It was all done in less than 30 minutes.

    All through the process, the technicians were professional, friendly, and quick. In the last 15 years, this was the third time they’ve replaced the garbage disposal. So, I’m very happy with how they handled it.

    The one with the dryer wasn’t quite as good. The contractor instantly responded, but it took them two weeks to get the first technician there. He wasn’t there five minutes when he said he had to order parts. It was at least two more weeks before they began checking on it.

    It was maybe four weeks after the initial call before the technician got the parts and came back. When you compare the two services, that vendor wasn’t quite as quick and speedy. However, they were professional and polite.

    Interestingly enough, it was the same contractor that serviced the dryer a year ago before that. They were still a little slower then, but not as bad as this one, time-wise.

    We’ve been with American Home Shield for over 10 years, and they’ve been accurate. For the most part, they’ve been very quick to respond on the original service request. I’ve never dealt with anyone who has not been professional. I’m very happy with them.

    Matter of fact, I just recommended them to my two kids who bought homes and said it’s worth the investment. The vendor delays are not the warranty’s problem. They’re just something the marketplace has to deal with.

    My price continued, and I’ve been on it over 10 years. I think I started out at $30. It got up as high as $112 or $120. I just said, “Look, I’m not doing this. We gotta figure it out.”

    They’ve developed three plan levels instead of what I was on. So, I’m back with a $50 a month plan and I’m satisfied. I negotiated my costs after I made some referrals, and I think that made a difference.

    I've had two claims with American Home Shield. I had one with an appliance and they worked with me. The appliance people ordered the parts and fixed one part. Then they had to come back out several times, but they were consistent in that.

    The appliance guy fixed the icemaker, but food was freezing in the refrigerator. He did order another part, so he's supposed to come back out when the part comes in. Overall, it's fine.

    Then I had a claim on my attic fan. The electrician came and tightened whatever was going on with it. A week later, it started making a noise, like something was loose. He said that was normal. That's not normal, but the electrician didn’t want to come back out.

    I talked to the people from American Home Shield with the department that handles problems. They offered help and went back and forth with the electrician. Finally, they gave me another electric company and my fan was fixed it. My husband talked to American Home Shield a couple of times, and they were very pleasant.

    I've had the warranty a long time. I've had them at another house in Virginia. It depends on the contractor you get and the person you talk to, but I've gotten most things resolved. I've never really had something that was never resolved.

    The only problem I have are the prices. I've been with American Home Shield so long and the prices get a little steep. It goes up each year, but they work with me on that. They have considered that and reduced it to a certain degree. Last time, I kept my rate because I negotiated with them and they did come down.

    Integrity Air Conditioning was excellent. I had an issue with my air conditioning unit where there was a water buildup. The part that controlled it was faulty, which actually caused a flood. The technician came over promptly.

    She was very knowledgeable and gave me some insight on the product. At one point, she didn’t think American Home Shield would cover it and explained why it wouldn’t be covered. She started giving me advise on what to do and where to buy the part cheap.

    The technician then started asking a few questions and worded them in a certain way where, based on my answers, it would allow for the warranty to cover the part. She even called her supervisor about it and got his approval. It was all about the customer service with them. I was very impressed with the contractor. She was phenomenal.

    In 20 minutes, the technician did some technical work. She did some cleaning and vacuumed the line out just to make sure there wasn’t any residue. She did an amazing job. It wasn’t an expensive part. The technician replaced it and was in and out.

    When I bought this new house, I spoke to one of their salespeople. They were very thorough. Even though I knew their product and services, the sales person explained it very well to me.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for 16 years, and this is my second house with them. In that period of time, they have ticked me off on a couple of things. But overall, no complaints.

    I have no problems with their service at all. When I had it in my last house, they probably replaced the $1,600 pool motor three times in 14 years. It was very good.

    I used to call American Home Shield previously when I lived in the other house. At times, there was a language barrier, but it has gotten a lot better. It’s cheaper to hire people offshore. I get it. But in the 16 years I’ve had them, their price has gone up considerably.

    The contractor said he could also order parts, and that would make me have to wait. I was just in a dilemma. I had to get big coolers to take care of some of the food. The contractor was nice, but I couldn’t understand why he did not put Freon to keep the food good until they got the parts, which made the food much worse.

    I’m supposed to get a check, but I haven’t received it yet. When I asked the representative if I should send the receipt first, she said I would get the check and then send them the receipt. But, I hadn’t heard from them for two weeks. So, I was wondering if I should call again and ask if they need a receipt before they send a check.

    I think I'm going to cancel my account because I wasn’t happy with everything that has been done. They’re supposed to send me a check for the parts the warranty was gonna cover, which was almost the amount of the refrigerator that I had to buy.

    I talked to a customer representative, and they didn’t care. I’ve been with American Home Shield for a long time, but I never had any trouble before. I was really upset.

    I've had nightmares with other warranties in my previous lifetime. It was terrible. It’s been with American Home Shield for two years and everything’s okay. The dishwasher went out, then my icemaker stopped working the same week. I submitted the claim on the phone and they were nice to me.

    This company was good, but no longer at the same standards. It's a scam. My CONTRACT NO IS **. I have been with this company for the last 10/15 years but every time I have a problem, I get burnt. This time too, I put in a request for service for my pool as the keypad that controls the pool and the entire pool equipment showed a error. I was shocked to hear they don't cover that as I should go manually start and put the pool off everyday. Meaning I am expected to every morning go to the pool equipment located outside my house and put the pump on and after coming back from work, sometimes late late into the night come and shut my pool.

    This company is a Joke, you ask for a supervisor, they say, no one available, supervisor will call you in 24/48 hours, once 48 hours go by, they don't call you, and when you call them back, the new customer service guy claims you had no ticket to begin with for a supervisor call. I called on Friday 10th Oct and the agent says we are closed Sat/Sunday, supervisors don't call on weekends, Monday is a holiday, they will call Tuesday. Tuesday goes by no call, I call Wed, Customer service guy stationed in Philippines says, "I don't see any request for a supervisor to call." He again puts in the request, then after 36 hours I get a call, from a so called supervisor, he listens to my pool problem and says he is unable to do anything, sends me to escalation team.

    Escalation team after holding on the phone for 20 minutes comes on the line, now this guy too is not from the USA, I try to explain to him that the programmer is showing error and I am unable to program the pool. I also tell him that I dont want to be spending $ 125.00 for a service call and the pool vendor comes to my house and says, "Sorry this is not covered," he goes, "We will make sure you speak to the Vendor before he comes to the house," he assigns a new vendor as the previous vendor refused to take the work order, as he said AHS needs to approve. So I call this New Vendor, he goes, "I will need prior authorization, but from experience, the indoor controller is not covered," it's the same story once more.

    SO I want to advise the community, Please do not get scammed with AHS, they will find every reason under the sun to deny your claim. Will not be renewing my plan once it gets over. I have one more Rental property, that too I will not renew. BEWARE, AFTER PAYING 1500/YEAR IN FEES AND $ 125/SERVICE CALL, YOU GET NOTHING!!!

    Refund Ignored for Over Two Months — Proceed with Caution. I cancelled my American Home Shield plan on August 15, 2025 because of extremely bad experiences with their subcontractors. Their letter confirmed a refund of $170.87, due within 10 business days. It’s now been over two months and nothing has been paid. Their own contract promises refunds within 45 days, plus a 10% monthly penalty if delayed — yet they’ve ignored both the terms and repeated inquiries. This has been one of the most unresponsive and frustrating experiences I’ve had with any warranty company. If you expect transparency and accountability, look elsewhere.

    The contractor, Peerless, said the refrigerator had a short in it. It actually has a black spot in the back panel. The technician said he was going to recommend a replacement.

    I waited several days but still didn’t hear from anybody, so I called American Home Shield. They said they were waiting for a confirmation back from Peerless to say whether it was the sealed unit. I didn’t know the compressor was actually a sealed system. They call both the same thing. So, Peerless had to confirm whether it was the compressor or a replacement.

    I called American Home Shield back two days later but couldn’t get anybody. They have to send out another repair company that works on compressors. And it’s not the compressor because the compressor’s running. The refrigerator’s cold, the freezer’s cold and makes ice. So, how can it be the compressor? So here we are, one week and a half later without a refrigerator.

    Hale Services was here first, and they had been on a previous call for us. They are very nice. Peerless seemed to have a new guy on the job, but he’s very good at getting the information. He was on the phone with somebody else the whole time getting another opinion.

    Right now, American Home Shield is doing their part. It’s just the other people that have poor communication. It’s good, so far. But it’s not finished yet and I’ve been waiting a while.

    I am submitting this complaint regarding American Home Shield (AHS) and their refusal to cover a repair on a household system that they previously serviced within the past year. About 6 to 8 months ago, American Home Shield approved and repaired my HVAC. The service technician replaced compressor, and the repair was fully covered under my warranty. Recently, in September 2025, the same system failed again due to a different part— the coils. Despite this being a separate issue within the same covered system, AHS denied the claim, stating that the system “should never have been replaced” or implying that the issue is not covered due to not normal wear and tear. The unit is 24 years old and will have wear and tear of 20+ years. They also refused to give an allowance toward a new system.

    This denial is unacceptable. The warranty covers the system as a whole, and it is unreasonable for AHS to deny coverage for a different component simply because the same system was serviced previously. The company’s position contradicts the terms and intent of the home warranty agreement, which is designed to cover mechanical failures of covered systems and appliances. Homeowners should not be penalized for previous covered work on the same unit when a different component fails later. We have since hired a professional HVAC company to replace our unit because of the failures of AHS.

    I've been an American Home Shield customer for a little over four years. And I never had to utilize the services. So, I had to do it for the first time and that experience was so good, it made me want to continue to stay with American Home Shield.

    The experience was really good. I was at home, maybe late evening. I logged on to the app. I was able to process the claim from the app the very next day. After I process, they say it was in review and they'll send me a link or something once they assign someone. And someone was assigned immediately. And it only took them two days to actually come out, which was wonderful because I was without AC and it was hot. So, the fact that they were able to come out within 48 hours was a blessing.

    They came out and checked. They were able to identify the issue, and were able to fix the issue in less than 45 minutes. My AC was back working. Me and my happy dogs were enjoying the air. And after the repair, there have been no issues since.

    When the contractor came, he was very polite, professional, and courteous. He explained exactly what he was doing, showed us exactly what part was messed up, showed us how he replaced it and everything. So, he did step-by-step and educated us with what the issue was.

    Within the first year when I was setting up the plan, I did speak to an agent to get the plan set up. And he was very nice, and was able to walk me through everything. I did have questions about my contract to make sure it included certain things that I knew I wanted. And he was able to confirm that it did. So, my experience with setting it up was also good.

    AHS does not honor home warranty coverage as advertised. AHS home warranty was originally purchased for our peace of mind. Now we know it’s AHS business strategy to deny coverage regardless of all the overstated advertisement. It will be pointless to waste time and money for us to continue calling AHS. Out of the claims we submitted, a half were completed without incident because of low repair costs. We cannot accept the outcome of the other half.

    (1) The $700 cost to replace the range exhaust ventilation is not covered due to abuse, which is baseless. (2) The $275 cost to replace an electrical supporting box is not covered due to not normal wear and tear. The reason appears totally the opposite of (1). (3) The request to further look into underlying damage to the washer has been denied. After dutifully following the technician's advice to clean it half a dozen times and several repeated phone calls to AHS without progress, we finally bought a new washer. AHS may declare the service request has been completed or cancelled. But NO, we paid for the replacement out of our pocket.

    The contractor was and is always great when they come out. I always have them come out for almost everything, including my dishwasher and washer. They had a complaint with their own guy because he was the reason why I had the leak. He didn’t seal it right.

    We had a leak under the sink and AHS sent a plumber to check. Everything worked out fine and everything was cleared up.

    My wife called and spoke to a representative. She usually calls late at night. That’s the best time to call. So far, things have been going good.

    When the repair company came out the first time, they couldn’t do anything because of the breaker. They sent the electrician out and he fixed it. After the breaker was fixed, I was supposed to call AHS back because it has a leak. They said I had about a month. Overall, the techs are wonderful but they could’ve sent out a better person. The claims process was all on time and AHS did exactly what they said.

    I've had ​​AHS for around 18 years and I've always been very pleased. Viper has also been out for many years now. They installed a pool heater because they replaced it. That was also a good experience.

    This time around, they called me. I told them I have a pool guy who closes the pool for me and thinks there’s something wrong with the filter. This guy from Viper asked me a couple of questions and I answered them. They came out and they replaced the filter and the pump. They never looked at if it was broken.

    When I came back and the workers were here with the filter, it was much smaller in capacity than the one that I had. The one that I had was 22 gallons and it was working great. It was doing its job. They told me the filter was too big for my pool so they put me down to an 18-gallon capacity.

    I thought that was very odd. I called the company and talked to the guy who I felt like I could trust. He's the guy who did the heater and was the manager. He continued to explain to me the whole thing too. It still didn't sit right and I probably should have stopped the whole thing, but I didn't. What I did was go to our local pool service place called Arvidson.

    I told them the difference, 22-gallon, 18-gallon. The guy said he would never put the 18-gallon in my pool. It will work. It's borderline adequate for the number of gallons that I have. I should have stopped Viper.

    The pool is closed now for the season. But we'll see what happens next year. I talked to two other people that I knew. They also thought it was very odd that they downgraded me from a 22-gallon to an 18.

    I looked it up and the capacity for the 18 is 16,005 gallons. I have 15,000 gallons so I wasn't pleased. I think I got duped somehow and I have a feeling that they did it for monetary gain. It's a $200 difference. I don't think it had anything to do with American Home Shield. They've never downgraded me anywhere. I don't know how Viper bills AHS.

    I called AHS and tried to complain and explain my situation. The worst part about American Home Shield is that you end up overseas. You can't speak to anybody in America. They aren't very independent-thinking people so they wouldn't do anything for me.

    A week and a half ago, a friend was looking for stuff. I told her had AHS for 18 years and that they have always been good except in this issue. Hindsight is 20-20.

    The dishwasher was not working at all, so we had a contractor fix it. The first time they came out, the tech said he had to order a new motherboard. They ordered the part and rescheduled for another eight to nine days after that, or not that long. They came back and installed the part. It’s still not working, so he messed around a little bit more. He then had to leave because he said there was another issue with another part. He ordered a part again and rescheduled. The same thing happened, and it did not work. He said he’s going to order a new motor, and that took about five to seven days. He installed it, claimed everything was good, found it was working, and then left. He was very quick.

    We used the dishwasher for a couple of days and found that while it was working, there was no heat. Everything was really wet in there. We called American Home Shield back. They said it was within 30 days, so they sent the tech back out. It was a different guy this time but still under the same company. He said that the previous tech wasn't sure what he was doing. The motherboard wasn't programmed correctly, so he reprogrammed it properly. He spent a lot of time working on every part that the previous guy installed. He was awesome, very detailed and organized. Now it’s working great.

    The customer service was poor. They gave me a window from 8:00 to 12:00 or 12:00 to 5:00. Twice it happened where I had to call and reschedule because they reached out to me after the window and said they were running a bit late. We blocked it off our schedule. We had plans and weren’t gonna be home after that window. There was no number to contact anybody else, so I had to call the dispatcher who had no idea what’s going on.

    Other than that, we enjoy having American Home Shield quite a bit. They’ve been helpful to us because they get an appliance fixed for a small fee and they handle the scheduling. The flat service price is great, but the monthly payments are a little high.

    My most recent claim with AHS was a dryer. My dryer stopped working. Filing the claim was simple, of course, because I use the app. I appreciate the AHS app. It's really easy to use. And I quickly get my claim filed, no matter what time of night.

    However, I did not receive a call from RMT at first. It took about three or four days. And of course, I needed to do laundry. So, I was a little annoyed. But I finally called the number myself and asked again. I left a voice message, and I called the number again and said, Is someone going to call me about my repairs?

    And then, once I did that, they immediately went to put me on the schedule and got a date scheduled fairly quickly, two or three days later, in which they came out the first time. My husband was home, but they did what they said they were gonna do, but figured out they needed some parts, and said they would call us back in a few days when the parts came.

    Now, that took another week or so. I was annoyed because I still couldn't do laundry. But I called them again and said, Where are the parts? I havent heard from you all. RMT, of course, blamed you guys and said, Well, AHS didn't approve the payment for the parts, or something to that effect. But at any rate, once I called her again, she then immediately put me on a schedule for the very next day or whatever. So, I was able to get on the schedule then, and they fixed it. Everything has been repaired. So far, everything has been good. I used four laundry last weekend.

    When the contractor came, he was professional towards me. And my husband's here, too. He said, Yeah. He appeared to know what he was doing, he fixed it efficiently once he came back.

There was 2 big monsoons earlier this year and one big one last year. So American Home Shield reported it was not in the plan and I had to pay out of pocket.

    My garage opener was stuck in a position and wasn't opening. American Home Shield said somebody was gonna call me to set up the appointment. I waited two days, but nobody called, so I called the contractor. The first person who came out didn’t fix the problem and said I should upgrade my system to the newer brands. But American Home Shield doesn’t approve upgrades. I made a complaint to them about the first guy, so they referred me to another garage company. I waited another week for that guy to come out.

    When you call American Home Shield, you have to make sure you really have a problem and you have to ask them if they will cover it. It’s hard to tell if something is wear and tear. Sometimes you have something that broke because of wear and tear, but then they won’t cover it. The sales pitch is they fix everything. Actually, there's a lot of gray areas and not everything is fully covered. Sometimes you have to pay a copay or they only pay half and you pay the rest. It’s decent when they’re willing to fix what you have broken.

    I called American Home Shield and they sent Mayday Electric out because the light wasn't coming on from the two ceiling fans. The ticket was easy to get in, but Mayday Electric wasn't easy to deal with. The first time that they were supposed to come out, I specifically requested that they call me and they didn't. They sent me a text saying they're on their way, but I needed 30 minutes to get to the property. I couldn't make it that day, so we had to reschedule. They're really difficult to get on the phone. They're not a good service provider.

    It was difficult to schedule with them the second time. When they finally did come out, they didn't call me to let me know what was going on. This is an investment property that I have. I had to hear what happened from the tenants, which isn't ideal. And when they came out, their fix was to include a remote to turn the light on and off. It should just be turning it on and off with the flip of a switch. They didn't even check the second light. It was just hard to communicate and to deal with.

    They cover most things that I've put in a ticket for and rarely denied anything. So I think their coverage is really good and it is easy to get someone responsive on the phone. It's just the service providers is the main thing I have an issue with. The problem with American Home Shield is that sometimes they use subpar service providers. The plumbers they sent out were really good. But when I had an issue with one of the appliances, they sent someone that was not an established company.

    Restos Appliance came to replace a capacitor, the circuit board, and a transformer. Once the parts came in, the repair itself was handled in a timely manner.

    I submitted a request through the AHS app. The app itself is straightforward, but the problem is they didn't have anyone in that area to do the service. So, from the very first initial going through the app to get everything set up, it took right at three months to get this problem resolved. Because apparently, they had no one in that area to do the work for it.

    I requested a claim at American Home Shield in March because we were having a failing hot water heater. It's an on-demand hot water heater. But then they sent out a plumbing company, even though I specified that it was on-demand.

    Two weeks later, NJ HVAC was assigned the job. They came out, diagnosed it. I think it was like the next day. I was very impressed. They said they would have to order parts. I contacted them two weeks later, and they said the parts still haven't come.

    A month later, they said the parts came, but it was the wrong part. They have to reorder it. And this saga went on from March all the way until around May. I was ready to cancel American Home Shield at that point, because they weren't following up. They weren't looking into it.

    Months and months later, I had to actually reach out to American Home Shield and escalate it to a different department because this is getting to the point where it's ridiculous. They contacted Patriot Mechanic, they came, they did an analysis on it.

    They recommended that the unit be replaced, but the American Home Shield wanted to try a replacement of the sensor. We waited about three weeks, and the sensor came in. They came, put it in, but it didn't work. So, Patriot Mechanic requested a replacement, then American Home Shield finally honored it.

    They came out, replaced the system, and everything has been great since. Patriot mechanics did a great job. NJ HVAC, and American Home Shield was horrible.

    I got my car, it’s safe, but it was an ordeal. I had to constantly call. I called the rep the day before they were supposed to pick up the truck and the place that was transporting the car because no one called to confirm the day before. They said the brakes on their truck was in the shop, and they were supposed to pick it up in the morning. They didn’t get here until almost night. I kept calling them to find out where they were.

    The driver was very nice and professional. The move was just from Maryland to Atlanta. It took one day. I needed to move my daughter into college the next morning. He was supposed to drop it off that night, but he said he would come the next day.

    He said he would be there 3 o'clock but moving time was in the morning, so I needed it first thing in the morning. And he said he would do his best. He did come early but he didn't tell me until he got here. I just happened to look at my phone and saw his message.

    We had American Home Shield in July and this is our first claim. Occasionally, the oven started giving error messages when you would switch from bake to convection. The day before the technician came out, we were trying to use it. And when we were done using it, we shut it off, but it didn't actually shut off and kept running. The temperature showed off, but the heat and the fan kept going.

    It was a little hectic with the multiple servicemen calling. The fact that there were three or four men that I talked to from different companies and no one seemed to know what was happening was a little weird. At the end, I was told that I needed a technician from Sears. It would have been nice to provide as much information about the appliance so they could send Sears from the start. They came out and said it cannot be repaired. I'm still waiting to hear back.

    There's just been a lot of weirdness. Online, it reflected that my warranty was supposed to end in December, but it was actually supposed to go through July of next year. We had to call and correct that. There has just been lots of phone calls required to get this call done. Depending on how you guys resolve the issue, so far, it's been okay.

The ice cubes in the icemaker were freezing, so they sent Priority Mechanical and they replaced it, but it didn’t resolve the problem. They’ve made several attempts to fix it, but I’m still having issues with it. And it’s not because they didn’t make any effort because they certainly did, and they were very helpful in solving my washing machine issue before that. Maybe they just didn’t get it right.

    We were having a washer issue since January. AG Appliances came out first. Premier Appliance was the second opinion company, and I thought they were going to be coming out to fix the issue, and all they did was send it back to the first company. They told American Home Shield that they are not going to be able to fix it because the first company bent a shaft, and that they recommended that the first company be issued the work order again. So, AG come out and fixed what they broke. It has just been back and forth for nine months.

    I even escalated the call with American Home Shield three times. The first time I escalated was about three weeks ago, and the lady said that she would personally put the work order out. I was confused that they already got a second opinion. And from my understanding, my policy is if the second company cannot fix the problem, they would replace the machine.

    And I spoke with one person from AHS who asked me how old the equipment is. I said that it is as old as I have been with them, for 10 years. She said it was about time that that needed to be replaced. Then it went to escalation, where I explained the situation. I said that this has been going on since January. She said that her records said June instead. I said she needed to check back in her records a little further.

    Every time we tried calling AG Appliances, they put us on hold. As soon as I call, I’m number one. Half an hour later, I am still the number one person in the queue. Then they will hang up on me, or they will send us something saying that all agents are busy at that time. They are not answering our calls. They have also hung up on me twice, including when we tried calling to set up an appointment for them to come out and fix the machine.

    The AG Appliances is horrific. I know American Home Shield is trying to do everything they can. I called them again today. We went to escalation department, and they said that they were going to call them right there and then. So, I stayed on hold, they called them, and they said that I was going to get a call back from AG Appliances today to set up a schedule for them to come out and fix the machine. That was the most recent out of the three conversations with the escalation department.

    I have been with AHS for 10 years. This is the only time that this has happened for 10 months now. This is the only time they have not taken care of me. This issue has knocked AHS down big time because who can go 10 months in their home without a washing machine when you have five adults?

    Wright Refrigeration came out because I had a leak in my refrigerator. In submitting claims, sometimes the process is easy and sometimes it is not. Normally, it takes two days to get a contractor out. But it was easy this time when I called AHS for the issue. I was told me that the contractor would call me, but I had to call them. The communication was good, and they put a pipe in to fix the problem. The contractor did a great job. So far, there is no leak.

    However, I also had a serious emergency and they told me that they could not find anybody and that I would have to find my own person. I was not aware that that was what I had to do. They should have called me then. When I first joined, they were great. It took the same day for them to call me back, Now, it is taking maybe one or two days and I end up calling the person, the contractor to come out. American Home Shield needs to step it up a little bit more. I have been thinking about either changing or not having one at all and just call the contractor.

    I chose AHS because of their ads. Bad idea. My first loss was years ago. Maytag Neptune Washing Machine. Yes, it was old, but worked perfectly, until it didn't. AHS only offered $600. I found a machine at Home Depot. Had to spend an extra $100 to get it. Cheap Chinese made junk. Lasted 11 months. This time, they reimbursed $600, but I wanted a better product. Bought a Speed Queen $1200. I paid that balance.

    On July 4 weekend 2025 my AC died, or so I thought. HVAC tech said "No, it's the breaker." AHS charged ANOTHER $125 service fee for the Electrician, who told me it was the AC, until I complained and they refunded it and sent a different HVAC guy. Got it running in about 15 minutes. Fast Forward to Labor Day weekend - kitchen faucet died. Leaking under the cabinet. Four days later the plumber shows up. Just a sprayer hose. He tried to replace it with a "universal" hose. Didn't work. Had to order one. He ordered the wrong one.

    EIGHTEEN days later a different plumber shows up with the right hose. SURPRISE!!! Wasn't the hose to begin with. Needed a faucet. He explained that it would take a few days to get AHS approval, but they would only supply a builder grade. The plumber offered to install anything I supplied the next day, because I'd been waiting nearly 3 weeks. I got a Moen at Home Depot and he came the next morning and installed it. The CSR at AHS assured me that someone would contact me regarding reimbursement within 3 days. No one ever called. I decided that I was DONE with AHS and decided to get my microwave and dishwasher checked out before cancelling my contract. That appointment is scheduled today, but I called to see how much that faucet reimbursement was going to be. "DENIED" since I purchased my own.

    I'm REALLY done. Today the 15th is my last appt with AHS. If any repairs are warranted and approved and in their system, they'll have to take care of it. My billing date is the 17th. I'm cancelling the day before. My monthly bill with AHS is now $14 under my monthly homeowners insurance rate. They've lost their minds. Keep your money. Trust me!!!

    American Home Shield has sent eight techs eight different times from two different contracting companies to my house trying to fix the refrigerator and it's not fixed yet and I'm just frustrated. I've lost over $700 worth of items in there. The last time they came out, they replaced my compressor.

    The first company that came out, I have nothing good to say. And I've called American Home Shield so many times, written them two emails, and I'm not getting the responses that I would like. The first company came to my house six times and I was not thrilled.

    I also didn't like the interaction with the first tech because he started bashing the police when he found out I was a deputy police chief. I called American Home Shield and told them I didn't appreciate that interaction.

    The issue is still not resolved since June. I just had to call them again today because I woke up this morning and there's water all over my floor in my house because it's not freezing. I don't know what's going on at this point in time. I think it really needs to be replaced. I'll tell anybody I'm not happy about it.

    My air conditioner unit was not coming on and there were two gentlemen that came out. They worked with my husband and they told him what was wrong. They went up to the attic and dealt with the AC unit up there. They came in, dealt with the one inside, and pretty much fixed the situation. They did it on Monday and we haven’t had issues since.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for a while now. At the very beginning, they were great. In the middle, they weren’t so great. There have been some experiences that I have not been happy with. Back in May, I had the same kind of situation with the air conditioning unit and that was a complete disaster. But this time, I went in and set up the appointment. The gentleman called me within an hour and it was at the end of the day. This one went perfectly.

    We bought the house in August and there was a leaky faucet in the bathtub. American Home Shield sent out Richland Plumbing and I liked them. It took the technician a couple of trips because it took a while to figure out what the issue was. He did the easy and cheapest thing that he could do at first. That fixed the leak for about a day and then it started dripping again. Even when I turned off the water supply to the tub, it was still dripping.

    The technician realized then that there was sediment disrupting the ability of the valve to shut off. That sediment was due to the hot water heater being old and unused for seven months. The house had not been lived in for that long before we moved in. We replaced the hot water heater and got rid of all that sediment. It continued to leak and the technician realized he was gonna have to completely replace the valves in the tub. He came back a third time. We were afraid he was gonna have to cut open the wall to access the piping, but he was able to do the work without that. We haven’t had any problems since. Although it took us a little bit of time, it’s now completely solved. We’re very happy with the work Richland did.

    There was one claim where American Home Shield sent electrical guys and I wasn’t really impressed with them. American Home Shield was struggling to find some contractors to come and do the work for them. They originally told me one company was gonna come in and do it, but I never heard anything. I called the company directly and they said they didn’t work with American Home Shield anymore.

    The person I spoke with told me that American Home Shield sometimes didn’t pay them enough to do the work. Sometimes they travelled a distance to do the work and the reimbursement they got wasn’t enough to cover things, so they stopped doing work for the warranty company. For my claim then, American Home Shield got electricians from way out of town. They were over an hour away. They did an adequate job, but they probably weren’t the best.

    American Home Shield sent out Patriot Plumbing for my issue. I have a hot water heater that is leaking out the bottom and is in a closet that is too small and doesn't have a drip pan. It was originally under the house and they moved it up into a closet. So we had to make some modifications for that to go in.

    It wasn't too difficult to submit the claim online. I was given the information of the contracting company and I did a little bit of research on them. They then called to say they were on their way.

    I'm a little disappointed across the board as far as them not being able to raise the electric box that goes to the hot water heater. Also, the pressure valve had to be paid for out of pocket, even though it is part of the hot water heater. They said it's part of a new hot water heater, but it's also part of any hot water heater. So I don't consider that an upgrade. I don't appreciate having to pay for that out of pocket.

    But I'm glad I got the service. So far, it's worked out fine. You might have to wait a little longer than you want, but somebody will come.

    When American Home Shield sent the technician from Sears out, he didn't even take the dryer apart and look inside. He just looked and listened to it and assumed it needed one or two parts. He couldn't find the model number and I told him American Home Shield should have the model number for that, but he would not listen.

    We wait two weeks for the parts and another week for him to come back out with neither part. He then said there was nothing he could do for me anymore and he was going to send paperwork to American Home Shield and wait for a call. I wait a few weeks and there was no call.

    I called the insurance company and they hadn't received any paperwork. So they called Sears, got us on a three-way call, and finally got somebody to come back out here. They took it apart, found out what the part was, had the model number, ordered it. We had to wait three weeks and finally got it fixed two months later. I pay over $1,000 for this insurance. I shouldn't have to wait two months for a part on a dryer to get fixed.

    The technician was arrogant and said he'd been in the business 30 years and he knew what he was talking about. But he then told me that he had 10 different jobs in that 30 years. So I don't think he stayed long in many places. He thought he was talking to a stupid woman and I was gonna be gullible and listen to every word he said and the part can't be found. It was a mess. They need to get better service people.

    I had a washing machine that didn’t work, and my dishwasher was messed up. I reported it on August 29, and the people at GM Appliance came out that Tuesday. After that, I didn’t hear from them again. I called American Home Shield, but I didn’t get an answer until around the last week of September. It has been resolved now, and American Home Shield is going to give me a certain amount of money toward a new washing machine.
    In the past, I ran into people who kept repeating things to me, and then it didn’t happen. When I called back, they wanted to keep starting the claim process over again. In the last two weeks, though, I got ahold of people who seemed to know what they were doing and got it resolved. This isn’t the first time it has happened.
    I’ve been with them since 2015, and I have a strange type of air conditioning. I have to pay for air conditioning cover, but American Home Shield doesn’t work on the type of air conditioning system I got. I don’t like that.

    American Home Shield comes in handy when you don’t have the money to pay for whatever service you got, because they will get it done for free. But I’m thinking it may be a waste of my money if I could come up with a lump sum on my own. So that when I have problems, I won’t have to pay $125 every time they come out, plus a monthly fee. They’re not all bad, and they’re definitely not all good. I’m in the midst of deciding whether to keep them or not.

They came out here and did something with the electricity on it. It worked a couple of times and then stopped again. The last time they came out here, they took the motherboard computer thing out. They took it to the shop, soldered something that was loose on it, brought it back and put it back in. It worked for two loads and it stopped again. They came out here and determined that it was the motherboard, so they went back and was gonna order a motherboard to come on it. They said it’d be another couple of days.

    My wife got tired of them coming out here and not fixing the stuff, so she called the company and told them to not bring the part down here. She didn't mess with it anymore, and she went and bought a new dishwasher. It's just this last company. They take six days to get a part. After they get the part in, they have to schedule and it might be three days before they schedule to come out. That's one thing. But American Home Shield is fine. I like them being on time.

    American Home Shield (AHS) is the worst! I set up a repair through AHS and 3 days later the company that AHS used to come out, Clear Flow Water Solutions LLC came out to fix a leaky faucet in my bathroom shower. After 15 minutes, they disassembled my faucet, left the job and was told they needed AHS to approve the parts and repair before continuing. When I called both the clear flow and AHS, I was given the same info. They needed to send AHS a completed form with the repair parts and costs before they can do any work. I now have no access to my shower bathroom and water is off in my bathroom. No word as to when this will be fixed? Could be days or weeks. Why would anyone want this for a service company and this is the 3rd time I set up a repair where I needed to wait for the repair, which took weeks to finish!!!

    Customer service is pretty bad because it’s only online, email, or text, and it’s really inconvenient. You apply online, you pay them, and that’s about it. But I really don’t know sometimes what kind of service I need to request, and then they say this is covered, this is not covered. There is no direct, proper contact. I have to call multiple times, and there’s no flexibility. Other service providers, you can call and there is physical phone interaction with them right away.

    AHS is a scam. The first time I put in a claim, it was a water heater. I had to get my lawyer to write a letter ‘cause they denied the claim. Once they got that letter, they went ahead and sent the technician out to fix the water heater. Years later, now I’m asking you to fix my refrigerator, but it’s a temporary fix.

    My refrigerator keeps breaking down. This Samsung refrigerator is a defective refrigerator. Samsung knows it. American Home Shield knows it. All the technicians know it. Tom’s Appliance and Repair came out. I asked Tom to put in an order to have it replaced. He even said he has one and he’s fixed his over 100 times, but he wouldn’t do it. Every technician says that they can’t put in an order to have it replaced even though they know that once they fix it, a few months later, it’s gonna break down again. It can be fixed temporarily, but it's gonna break down again.

    Each time it breaks down, I’m paying $100 for somebody to come out. I’ve done it five or six times already. I have a legal letter into American Home Shield saying that I’m gonna sue because you guys got me in this circle. Every technician that has come out and looked at this refrigerator and fixed it will be included in the lawsuit. I’ve had multiple contractors. I already have a legal letter into Sears ‘cause they’ve already sent two technicians out. Tom, he’s now an independent contractor, but he was one of the Sears technicians that came out the first time I asked to have it fixed a few years ago.

    I’ve called multiple times and asked AHS to replace the refrigerator. Each time they say the technician needs to put in an order saying that it can't be fixed for it to be replaced. The lady said I get $2,000 each year for my refrigerator, but they can't give me the $2,000 unless the technician says that they can’t order the part because it’s on back order or the technician says that it can’t be fixed. AHS won't replace an appliance for me even though I've been with them for years and have paid over $10,000. They got everybody in this circle. It’s a scam is what it is.

    It’s always been our wall oven. For some reason, I placed the claim with American Home Shield as a wall oven, and then internally, somebody on American Home Shield’s side switched it to a built-in food service center. I submitted the claim on the website, but we were assigned three different service providers in a short amount of time. First was Sears, we were subsequently assigned Nick’s Appliance, from which the claim had been pulled and canceled internally, and then we were assigned AC Appliance. As far as interactions with the vendor, several of the other providers that are now here in Hawaii are from Europe and don’t speak English when you need to communicate with them. They actually call back to their dispatch, and you have to speak with somebody on the phone.

    Nick’s Appliance, I recently made a complaint and asked not to be assigned them again because they came out to service our dishwasher back in February. It was not cleaning and was leaking, and we had secondary damage on the floor. The contractor said nothing was wrong with it and didn’t do any repairs. We just had to submit a new claim. Now, seven months later, it’s still leaking, has continued to damage our floors, and is still not cleaning.

    Though I specifically asked not to be assigned Nick’s Appliance Repair because of our experience with them last time, AHS still dispatched them. I called back and spent probably 2.5 hours on the phone. They said they would assign Sears, but there's no Sears in Hawaii. I asked for AC Appliance Repair. They said they couldn’t because he was on hold. I reached out to AC Appliance Repair, and he told me he had plenty of availability. It’s not him. It's AHS. I had to settle for YZ Appliance, which had come out before and doesn't speak English. Now, we’re waiting on them to come out and deal with the dishwasher that was never repaired, and we still haven’t scheduled with them.

    The service is not great, but the end result is needed. We manage seven different properties out here. We had American Home Shield with all of them and then slowly started moving away to other insurance companies. We’ve kept American Home Shield for our primary residence because the coverages are better. What started off as a good experience with another company, after we had switched over several properties, their service turned bad, and they started not honoring things in our contract. We won’t be renewing with AHS in the future.

It’s electrical.  And I told him that I’ve had an electrician out here eight times also, and he said that it’s not the electric.

    The electrician said that the appliance needs to be replaced, but the appliance guy refuses to say that the appliance is broken because if I’m gonna put a new dryer in here, it’s still not gonna work. He said there’s nothing wrong with the appliance. And I told him that the dryer is not working now, but the electricity and my washing machine and everything on that side of the wall are working. So, the only thing that’s not working in my house right now is the dryer from Hughes 24. And we’ve already had two motors and two motherboards put in, and it's still not working.

    So, it’s not American Home Shield that I’m having a problem with. It’s the people that they’re sending out because they’re not reporting to American Home Shield. So, they’ve been out. I have every dispatch number and every date that I’ve had someone out at my house. And AHS doesn't have any record of it. They have one report from the electrician, and no report from the appliance people.

    I’ve been with American Home Shield for two years, and I was pleased with the service that I got from them. The technician was professional and knowledgeable. My issue started when my ice maker was not working, and then I noticed that the entire freezer was not freezing properly. And it took a week for the technician to come out. He said that my freezer needed Freon. So, they added Freon in that same day.

    A technician came out to repair the garbage disposal and several faucets. But he simply looked at the garbage disposal. It was like he didn’t want to do any work. But he was a nice guy, and he’s older. He said that the garbage still goes down in the garbage disposal, and that he could hear the bearing going. So, that didn’t get done. 

    The bathroom faucet was leaking around the handle. He put the springs and a couple of washers in it. An hour after he left, I tried it, and it was still leaking. And so, I called back. He came back a couple of days later, and he adjusted it some, and he said it’s fine, and I just have to be careful turning it off and on. And I told him that I’ve been turning on and off these same faucets for over 20 years. I know how to turn them off and on. So, it wasn’t fixed again. 

    The difficult thing was, the first time it happened, I called him back, and I called the owner back and told him. And he said he can’t do anything about it, and that I have to call American Home Shield first. And they will create a work order for him to come back out. So, I did that.

    I had also put in the dissatisfaction on the review, and I only gave him 2 stars because nothing had been done properly. And so, after, he called me and told me that I don't know what I've done to him and his family, giving him that poor rating, and that I should have called him first. And I told him that I called him when it wasn’t fixed several days ago, and that he told me that he couldn’t do anything, and to call American Home Shield. And that’s what I did. 

    My partner had had a stroke the day before or within hours before. I was at the hospital getting him admitted. And the technician was going on and on. And I just hung up on him. So, I decided I didn’t want them in my house anymore doing anything else or trying to fix it yet again. So, I called American Home Shield, and I explained everything. And so, today, they sent out a very capable plumber who took care of it.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for 10 years. And for the most part, the vendors they send out are okay. My recent claim was with my AC, and they sent Arctic AC out. I liked the guy who came out. He came out and discovered that my compressor was out, and he reported it to American Home Shield. My unit was still under warranty, so I got a compressor. But for AHS to send Arctic back out there, they were gonna charge me $950 for refrigerant. So, I told them to just forget about it, and that I would get my own repair people.

    I didn't want the service of American Home Shield. That’s my wife’s decision and it was against my will. We bought the house at the end of May, so we used AHS for swapping out the locks. This dishwasher wasn't working. The plates were hot, but they weren't clean. That took about one month to fix, which I feel like is insanely long. The first company AHS sent out, Accord Appliances, was absolute trash, probably the biggest scam company in the world. They worked for $100, and they just tried to scam. It’s depressing that they would hire a company like Accord Appliances. They have over 1400 reviews and have 1.4-star rating. AHS turns a blind eye to reviews and customer inputs.

    I have proof of Accord Appliances lying, and asked three different people from AHS for me to send proof to an email address. Apparently, AHS doesn’t have email addresses, so I wasn't able to send that proof to anyone. I told them, "Don't send Accord Appliances again.“ The highest AHS had was Savvy, backed with 3.7-star rating, and they were good with what they did. They knew it was a water pump issue, and they fixed it. Now, our dishwasher works. AHS needs to redo their vetting process because they hire scam artists. They don’t vet their people, so coverage is literally meaningless. Talking to AHS is the equivalent of talking to a block wall.

    I had a leak that came from the water hookup for the washer and dryer, as well as the drainage. Also, the bathtub was slow. There was a distinct temperature difference in how hot the bathtub water would get in comparison to the rest of the house. I did the claim through the app. You classify the issue under certain types, which was somewhat awkward. I ended up following the steps on the app, which was to call Sundance to set the appointment. I gave them a better description so that they knew what they were dealing with.

    They came out on time. The claim was mostly handled all right, but there was some aspects that wasn't fantastic. For the leaking water hookup, the tech was able to get it fixed rough at the top. It was a 1950 starter home and the previous owners were flippers. They did a lot of stuff in a sketchy and not ideal manner, and that ties into some of the issues. Typically, there’s a little alcove that helps keep the pipes more stable. It got swapped out, then the second hookup is the hot water when it got replaced. The cold water was left as is, so it's mismatched. The tech had to physically take it off that alcove in order to replace it. It would have been great if he said, "I could just swap this out for you. That way, it's matching," instead of having to take it apart essentially and use just a portion of it.

    When it came to the bathtub issues, he did run the Zip spinning thing but he wasn't able to really diagnose why the drain was slow. It's an older home and it would have been a lot more time-intensive in order to properly address it. When it came to dealing with the hot water issues, he did say it was probably an issue with the limiter. Due to this being an old house, when repairs were done on it, the screw for the lever was absolutely stripped, so he couldn't get in there.

    He called American Home Shield and it turns out it wasn't covered. They gave me an estimate for how much it would cost to fix it. Their proposed method was to chop off the lever and replace it. It was $650, which is not cheap. Also, it seems that it would first be attempted to draw out the screw first, which would be a bit more straightforward. It seemed awfully steep and I'm still yet to get that addressed.

    American Home Shield is the insurance for my appliances. My experience with them is okay. The only problem I have is the technicians they are sending, especially the ones from Astro Appliances, who were not good. A particular technician came to my house about three times but he couldn’t fix the refrigerator. He changed the screen but he couldn’t make the refrigerator communicate with the TV screen on it.

    He changed some parts in my dryer and we’re still experiencing the same problem. When we’re washing, it makes loud banging noise. And then I called for a revisit. The only thing he could fix was the stove, one of the ballasts that needed to be changed. That’s the only thing that’s working.

    I called American Home Shield and they had to move one of the fridge to another company, which is Exclusive Appliances. They discovered that if the error message is still coming on the screen, then there was something about a model so they needed to change it. They stopped the guy and ordered the parts so the guy could get them before coming.

    But the Astro Appliances said they were sending somebody. My office is in Sugar Land and I live in Katy. The guy called me said he was 15 minutes away from my house. And I told him I won’t be able to make it. He said he will wait. He doesn’t know that I have cameras all over my house.

    And as soon as I got home, I called. I didn’t see anybody around my house. I checked the camera and the guy was never here. He refused to pick up my call. He knew that I caught him.

    I have to call Astro back and the lousy customer service agent answered me and she said the guy was there. She said she will see if I can book another person to come out that same day. I didn’t hear back from her. I didn’t see anybody until today. Someone called my store and fixed another appointment saying a specialist is going to come on Thursday between 12:00 and 5:00 PM.

    I told him I’m not going to sit around all day waiting for their guys with this wide range of time. So they should tell the technician to call me 30 minutes before he heads up to my house.

    Whenever I have to call AHS, they have good customer service agents. They’re always geared towards making sure that my issue is resolved or finding the solution. All the ones I’ve spoken with have always been courteous unlike Astro. I wish they have technicians of their role and that they didn’t have to give the job out to another company. They are a good company. I can recommend a friend to them. It’s the people they have given this obligation to do are the ones that are messing up.

    I had a water heater issue on the weekend. I called American Home Shield and they assigned a contractor, Brick Stret. They could not come for another four days. When they came and looked at it, they said the water heater needs to be replaced. And then, after a week or so, they installed a new water heater. When they installed it, I was hoping that they will at least test it to make sure things are working, which apparently was not done.

    My tenant lives in the property. They noticed that the water was not getting hot so we called the technician. And he was nice enough to come back to check on it, but he said at this time, he can’t do anything. We have to talk to the manufacturer. So, we spent the weekend talking to the manufacturer, sending the pictures, and all that. The manufacturer said it was not installed properly. That’s what we relayed back to the vendor, Brick Street.

    They sent somebody again and they checked. I was not at the property, but they didn’t give me any update on whatever the case may be. I tried to get ahold of Brick Street the next day. They told me that something broke inside the newly installed water heater and they had to reinstall a new one. And they initially gave an appointment for 20th of this month, but a couple of hours back, they called back saying they were able to get an appointment for tomorrow.

    The experience with the American Home Shield and the vendor, in this scenario, didn’t go well at all. I have been keep calling American Home Shield almost every other day asking them to expedite this because it’s a water heater issue and we don’t have hot water. And they keep telling me that they don’t have that report from Brick Street. It was not a good experience.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve had American Home Shield. I had one or two requests with them that were dealt with. But this is something that needed expedited. All we’re asking for is a sooner appointment. And also, I was not happy that they choose some vendor who install something and not check before leaving the property.

    We pay a monthly payment. On top of it, I ended up paying again for taking care of this issue with the water heater. They said it was not covered so I had to pay a lot.

    I saw there’s water leaking from the bottom of my water heater. So, I did the request to AHS that there is a leakage in there. And they open up a ticket. The Clear Flow visited and said the water heater needs to be replaced.

    The line pressure on my water is too high, the recommended pressure is somewhere around 60 to 70 PSI, whereas my line pressure is 120 inside the house so the expansion tank is also damaged. Then he checked the PRB wall, the pressure regulator wall on the main line–that wall itself is broken. It’s not controlling the pressure.

    And then I got the quotation from the Clear Flow that I have to pay somewhere around $475 for the water heater replacement. I have to pay $275 for the expansion tank and $150 for the tubing modification. My policy already covers the expansion tank. But the tube modification is not covered.

    On the tube modification, they have added six inches of tube. They used the existing tubing that I have in my system. If you take out the old water heater and install the new one, you install one adapter on the hotline and one adapter on the cold line. They charged me $150 for those two pieces.

    I won’t recommend American Home Shield. When I needed the breakdown of how much they have charged, how much has been covered, and how much I have to pay out of the pocket Clear Flow didn’t give me. Even though I called the AHS that I need the breakdown of the cost, they said I have to reach out to the Clear Flow.

    We have an older house. It was built in 1936 and there are some special challenges that come with an older house. And the first person American Home Shield sent out was experienced, but apparently, a young guy, not experienced with older houses. We asked for three things. Our front bathroom sink was draining very slowly and will get plugged up very quickly. We asked for that to be fixed and he did. He replaced the U-joint. The problem there was that he didn’t quite have enough glue or sealant on it. So, when he turned it on, it would leak from the U-joint that he replaced. So, it’s been a sloppy job.

    In the back bathroom, he replaced the faucet which was fine. When he left, I noticed there was water all over the floor in the back hall. And then when I looked under the sink in the bathroom where he had replaced the faucet, when you turned it on, it would leak. And it was leaking from the hot water connection. So, we had to turn the water off, because we couldn’t make it stop.

    That was super disappointing. And unfortunately, because the way our house is old, the little knob that you would use to turn it off right there at the sink was broken and you couldn’t turn it off there because our house is old. So, we didn’t ask him to replace that knob. We had the two leaks that continued to leak even though he fixed them. And then the bathtub situation was a leak from the faucet, but he wasn’t able to disconnect the bathtub drain. And that’s okay. We can live with that. That was no harm no foul. I didn’t judge him on that. I did judge him on the fact that he said things were fixed. There was water on the floor and maybe he wasn’t aware of it, but still sad.

    And then I was frustrated with the website, because I couldn’t figure out how to ask for somebody to come back out. So, I called the company directly and they showed me how to do it. I requested another one come out. They had the owner come out who was an older fellow who apologized. He fixed everything correctly. He fixed the faucet. He used the same faucet the guy had. He just did a better job putting connections on. And then he fixed the U-joint in the front bathroom.

    By the time that fellow left, everything was fine. It was still a little slow draining in the front bathroom, but he said that’s not a plumbing problem. That’s a problem with the air pipe. That’s a whole another thing that wasn’t gonna be covered under the policy, which is fine. I just needed to know what the problem was and we’ll deal with that another day. He really went above and beyond to explain to us, to fix it and to do it pretty quickly.

    The website is hard to navigate when you have a secondary problem. I don’t care to spend a lot of time learning. I was looking for a button that said follow-up or report feedback on a previous claim. I didn’t realize they just had to put in a new work order. I did receive a letter saying that part of my claim was denied. And that was because the first fellow who came out was saying he can’t disconnect the bathtub drain without cutting it–that will make me redo the whole bathroom.

    I know for a fact you can disconnect it, because we had a cat stuck back behind there one day and we had our plumber disconnect it. The cat wouldn’t come out for two days. I thought he was gonna die.

    I think Big Orange really did their best to come out and check on us and make sure everything was good. They were really nice. I haven’t had any problems. My frustration was because I was new and that was the first thing I was having done under the policy, I wasn’t sure how to follow up. And then the people get me extra annoyed because of the time of day, I couldn’t call because everyone’s gone.

    AHS is a good price. I paid 299 straight up for the year for 12 months, non-renewable. And I paid a little bit extra so it would include the house appliances. It was a little bit above the basic policy.

    If they wanted to do something to better the consumer experience, maybe they should make something to help a brand-new customer who’s not had this type of insurance before how to file your first claim and give a little brochure, and then how do you follow up if something doesn’t go well.

    My washing machine went off, so a guy from American Home Shield came. Then my dryer also went out, so I asked the guy to have a look at the dryer too while he was there. But he said he can’t because American Home Shield won’t allow this. They wanted me to pay another $125 for them to look at the dryer. Then, three plugs in my kitchen shorted and weren’t working, so the stove and the microwave went out. I called them again, and they sent somebody out. The guy said the socket plate is bad, so he fixed it. But they didn’t want to cover the repair of the wires. I got ticked off with it, because it didn’t make sense to me, so I cancelled.

    After the cancellation, my wife got a call saying they could have rewritten the ticket differently so they could have covered it. But telling them that wasn’t my job, because my job is informing them of the problem. Every time they wanna look at one little thing, it’s another $125. I consider them a rip-off.

    We got AHS right when we got the house. We signed up and decided to go ahead and get the insurance. The initial issue was my refrigerator. Oak Valley Appliances came out. They said to let them know when my refrigerator was defrosted. Between working and whatever, it took me all of I don't know how long just to make the call for the request. I think it had been three weeks and they hadn’t called or checked on me or anything.

    Oak Valley Appliances never touched my ice maker or the refrigerator. He basically told me that American Home Shield was not going to pay for my broken shelf. He said anything with normal wear and tear was not replaceable. But he put it in anyway and said that the shelf was broken.

    Every time I called or had something fixed, it stayed broken again shortly after it was supposed to be fixed. The drain was one thing. Every year, maybe twice a year, we would call them out for our stopped-up drain. They came and they snaked it, but it stayed broken again.

    We called every six months because we were having problems with the air conditioner. It was constantly, every three to six months. We were calling about air conditioning because we’re just trying to not be dying in the summertime and not be freezing in the wintertime. Finally, AHS switched to another company because the guy was rude and wouldn’t explain it. It was like he didn’t want to tell us anything.

    Now, it’s all on me to make the call to you guys, actually get through, and get some kind of service request going. Before, my kids were here and they could help me tag team, but now I have to set up something with the service people. When they come out, it's always that they have to come back because of something.

    I called just recently for a service for my refrigerator because it's summertime. I never heard anything. This was two months ago. I also called for a service for my heater. Same thing, nothing. I don’t even know if the rep wrote it up. I have no idea.

    We were being drug through the mud. After working almost 60 hours at the end of the week and trying to get in touch with somebody in between lunch or break or after work and all of that, it’s a bit much. I had my daughter and her kids and husband to help me, but this is the first year I’ve been in the home just myself and my child. We were able to kind of stay on top of it, but that’s just my experience.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for maybe up to two years and never had to use it. The initial issue was my AC was leaking water. Billy’s AC Services, LLC came out. He showed up on time, but he just went up there and put the gauges on and said I needed 3 pounds of Freon. He was gonna charge me $195. He said they would only reimburse me $10. I asked where the other $165 was going. I asked him if he needed to look at the unit to make sure there was nothing else wrong. He said no, and then he left. He never even came in the house. He told me they won’t replace it unless it completely dies. I said that’s kind of the whole purpose of the home warranty.

    The other guy that did fix it was here for two hours cleaning those fans and cleaned out the condensation tube. He spent two hours on his back, and I have not had one issue since he did that. If it’s leaking water, it’s got to be the condensation tube. Had the contractor from Billy’s AC Services come in the house and taken off the panel, he would have clearly seen this.

    I think the $125 is a little pricey. My daughter had one, and it cost $35, and they replaced the whole unit. When I went to cancel, they transferred me three times. I held on for 10 minutes, and nobody ever came on the phone. They tried to talk me out of it, even offered two or three months. I’m not gonna use American Home Shield again. I’ll just stack away more money and just pay for it when the time comes.

    I had an incentive from the seller of the house to get into American Home Shield. I filled out the request, and they sent somebody the next week. I had some switches that were bad. If I didn’t have them, I’d probably either not have those switches fixed or I’d have probably done it myself. But it would have taken me a long time before I probably worked it into my priority list.

    Southwind Electric was nice and competent, but he made a mess and just left a bit of a mess. He basically said he didn’t clean up after himself. I did hire him to come back and do some more work. But honestly, after he did the second amount of work for me, I don’t think I would have him back. I notice a crack in the outer thing. A little bit too careless for my liking. Since there’s a fee for them to come out, I’d almost rather it not just be for a single issue, but for them to fix two or three things for me. Overall, it got done.

    I was dissatisfied with American Home Shield. The first time somebody came out, the gentleman looked like he didn’t want to do the work. And then T Mayes was sent for the second opinion. When they came out, they said there were bugs down in my crawlspace, and the pipe needs to be replaced. They already confirmed that it was from wear and tear. Prior to that, they were saying that I had mold. I have documentation where I paid $1,500 and got the mold remediation. And of course, by the water dripping each time I turn the water on, water is going in my crawlspace, and it’s causing it to be damp. And eventually, that's gonna cause mold again.

    T Mayes are saying that I have to pay an additional $1,500 for something they had to do with the pipes because AHS is not paying it. I’m not a plumber. And somebody else looked at it, and they got the picture, and it’s not all what they said they had to do. I don’t have $1,595. And I’ve never heard back from American Home Shield to see whether or not they’re gonna do anything. And the guy did say something about some bugs. Of course, it’s in the crawlspace, and because of the water down there.

    I’ve even been going to my girlfriend's to shower for a couple of days because I don’t want the water to keep running down there. And I’ve got an exterminator coming in every three months. I had to pay $199 for them to come out to do the first one. But now, there are still a little bit of bugs and crickets here and there. And I do have a dehumidifier down there. I don’t have any kids, and no husband. I did buy a dehumidifier, and I asked my nephew to come look, and it’s not that bad down there.

    American Home Shield has not done anything. The last time I spoke with them, I told them the same thing I told you, but they have not gotten back with me yet. And they're taking money out of my account every month.

    And then, the person told me he's gonna refund my $100 service fee that I paid, but when I checked my phone the other day, I didn't see anything. And I still have water dripping in my crawlspace now, and it's becoming a health issue.

    American Home Shield is not what it used to be. It is difficult to speak with them because even the supervisors are all speaking in a foreign language or with accents from foreign languages. I had a condo that I probably had service with them for 10 years or so, and then when I moved into this house, which was in 2014. And over time, it’s been getting harder to put in a special request or to call back and find out a diagnosis of something because I can’t understand the people that are trying to speak in English and not doing a very good job of it. But I’m happy with most of the technicians that come out.

    Last year, I had a microwave that was irreparable, and I took a while to decide what I wanted to replace it with. And when I finally made the decision, they showed up with the microwave, and that company did a very good job of taking out the old one and putting in the new one. 

    This time for my AC, I was hearing a strange noise from the area where the air return is. And AHS sent Automatic Control out. The technician took care of everything. He did everything that needed to be done and checked everything else while he was there. And everything went well. I specifically requested that Automatic Control be the company that handled the request, because I’ve been with AHS for decades, and Automatic Control has always been reliable.

    The price that I’m paying goes up every year, and they never call me to tell me that. I discovered it when I saw that the drafts were bigger. And I’m not happy with it. I know the cost of things go up, but I think someone should call and let me know that they’re changing the monthly fee to a higher number. I can afford for that to happen, but I don’t like it. Especially because I’ve had my policy for such a long time, and it is more than double than what it used to be. 

    The coverage also varies for what specific thing. I just know that if something can’t be fixed, they will replace it. So, I like that part of it. But ideally, I don’t like to have to get a new appliance. I like keeping the one I have. At this point, my washer and dryer were used when I bought the house because I bought a used house. I’ve been living in this house for 11 years, and they still work. So, I’m happy with them. I am not going to like it when they finally can’t fix them, and I have to go pick out some electronic thing. I like the old-style washers and dryers that actually have mechanical dials on them. On the other hand, if it’s not fixable, I’m gonna need a new one anyway. And so, I’ll have to put up with learning how to use something new.

    We initially got AHS when we bought our home in 2023 because our Realtor included one year of American Home Shield as part of the contract that the owner of the home had to provide for us, something our Realtor does. She chooses to work with you guys. And so, we already got one year paid for from 2023, and then it renewed in 24. And we had some issues come up when we first purchased the home, and it was a great experience working with you guys. So, we continued. But looking at it now, my husband and I, even on our recent trip, discussed looking into other companies that provide other people that would work. Because air conditioning in Texas is really important. But if this is the only contractor that we have access to, we don't wanna continue with American Home Shield.

    My unit is making really loud noises. The outside unit shuts off, but the inside unit continues to run, and it sounded like a loud truck with exhaust just running and running. And so, the guy came out, said he couldn’t find anything wrong with it. He was here for about an hour and then he left. The unit kept doing the same thing, so I recorded a video. Had them come back out. They requested to put a UV light in it, which would be like an additional $600 or $700, but it would be out of pocket. It's not something that you guys would do. But I didn't understand how a UV light would stop the noise. And that's about it. I haven't heard anything else. dw

    Now, I talked to a local AC company and the problem is there's no local AC technicians that are contracted through American Home Shield. So, they have to call this company out of Houston, Air City. But I called a local one, and just from playing the sound that I recorded on my phone, they said that it sounds like the blower motor is going out, and that I would need to have the blower fan replaced. That was just listening to it. Now, of course, they're gonna come out and have to look at it and diagnose it and all of that, which I'm gonna have to pay for. But at this point, Air City is the only one that y'all contract with, and I'm not comfortable with them coming back out to my house.

    There were two different guys that came. The first guy was very knowledgeable and he was very friendly. He said he tried everything. The second guy named Angel, was young, very unprofessional. He FaceTimed someone to diagnose the unit, to figure it out. I had no confidence in him. The second guy was very odd and I would request that he not come back to do any work on it. I don't even know how long he's been doing this.

    Review for American Home Shield & At Appliance Inc. (Sacramento) I’ve been an American Home Shield customer for a while, but after this recent experience, I’m really questioning why they continue to use At Appliance Inc. out of Sacramento. They sent this company to fix my dishwasher, which was showing an intermittent drain error. The technician who arrived could barely speak English and had to use Google Translate just to communicate with me. He started the dishwasher to see if the error would show up, but spent about 20 minutes standing in my kitchen mostly on his phone. He then said everything “looked good” and that if the problem happened again, I should just call the warranty company.

    As he was getting ready to leave, the dishwasher finally displayed the same error code I originally reported. Only then did he decide to pull the dishwasher out and check the hoses. He suctioned them out and found nothing blocking them, looked at another part, removed it, put it back, and said he was “done.” His only advice was again to call American Home Shield if it happened again. He then asked me to sign a waiver that mentioned “food in the dishwasher,” which I refused to sign because that wasn’t the issue at all.

    I called American Home Shield immediately to request a different service company. They told me they’d wait for the report from At Appliance before sending someone else and that if I switched now, I’d be charged another $100 service fee — even though the issue clearly wasn’t fixed. After looking up reviews, I saw many other customers had similar negative experiences with this same repair company. I honestly don’t understand why American Home Shield continues to partner with them. I paid $100 for a service call, and my dishwasher is still not working properly. Very disappointing all around.
