The AC wasn't cooling and Myers Comfort Specialist of Montgomery came in. The tech was awesome and he explained everything. But the AC still isn't fixed it. It's going to be $1,400 on my part to repair the coil and I'm upset with that. The plan I have doesn't include all of the costs to repair the system. But I’ve referred a couple of people to Home Shield. I tell them it can't be beat. For $150 a month, you know you're protected and it's easier to pay 150 versus $1,000 or $2,000 for something.

The built-in microwave wasn’t working any longer and the contractor replaced it. The service was great. We've had American Home Shield forever everywhere we've ever lived and we've always been extremely pleased with them and their contractors. People should sign up with AHS as soon as possible. It saves you a ton of money and it's a relief.

I've had American Home Shield in all my homes for over 25 years and usually, nothing is covered. We've called them out maybe 20 times and twice, the claims were not covered. There was always a reason why it wasn't covered. They should have more fine lines on what things are covered.
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you about your ongoing concerns.

We have two AC units. One downstairs and one upstairs. The downstairs unit wasn't cooling, so I put in a service request. The AC guy came out and put on what he called a kick start which was supposed to help the compressor start. That worked for a few days, and it was cooling again, then it is stopped working. So I put in another service request and he came back out and said the compressor was totally shot. He told me that it would take 5 to 10 business days to get a new compressor from American Home Shield, and even then, the home warranty doesn't cover Freon, so we ended up spending over $1,000 to fill up the Freon.
The unit was replaced in 2018, so it was fairly new, but the AC guy told me that the new compressor would probably fail again because the previous guys who installed the unit didn't clean the lines properly. All that stuff got into the compressor and that's why it malfunctioned. Also, all that stuff would still be contaminated and would contaminate the new compressor. He suggested that we just get a whole new system. Once I agreed to it, they did it the same day. The claim process went smoothly, but I feel I was pressured to get a new unit and shell out $5,000. I've only used American Home Shield twice, and I wouldn't go with them again. There's another service, open ticket, that I'm still waiting for them to complete, and it's been three weeks. That's on a new faucet.
My name is Stacy & I will follow up with you as soon as possible in an effort to assist with unresolved issues. Thanks for your patience.

American Home Shield has Advanced Appliance come out to replace a bad compressor. They put the new compressor in but didn't clear the line and actually braised for 4 hours or so because they didn't clear the line and contaminates were leaking out before my eyes. Of course this caused the new compressor to immediately go bad as well so Cody said they would come back to (Try something else). Long story short they called a week later to say I needed to replace the system.
I got my neighbor involved who is a Top HVAC guy who became disabled, well then everything changes after he spoke to them after they admitted basically that they messed up and would make it right. 4 weeks later I have to have American Home Shield send a new company to fix Advanced Appliance mess but they haven't scheduled anything yet and it's very hard to speak to someone in US. They keep saying it's a process but I've been without A/C for most of the summer and ready to toss this company.

They are one of the shadiest companies I've met so far. I received a phone call today from someone from their team and they hung up on me. I called them back and they informed me that they had called because I had a past due plan with them. I've never used them, my mother who passed away in 2021, had them as a provider. I told them that the plan would need to be canceled and after asking me if I was selling the house or would need their services and receiving a no answer to both they then told me I still had to pay the balance of the contract since it's beyond 30-days in order to cancel it even though they've never sent me a letter, e-mail, or called me to let me know what is going on with an account my deceased mother had with them.

This is the second time American Home Shield didn't repair something for me. My stove went out. They said the mice ate the covering off of something and they wouldn't make it good.

I got a plumber, Cory, who had been to my home before when he worked for a different company. He had been there to repair my well pump but he was there this time to unclog the main drain. And it was a very good experience. He provided excellent customer service. I followed American Home Shield’s directive, which their video initially showed me how to unclog the sink. I did that and I put it back together but the clog was in the main drain. So, he made sure that everything under there was connected back because I didn't do it correctly since I'm not a plumber. He made sure the drain was unclogged and let me know what had caused the clog so that I could be proactive in the future about what I choose to scrub with. Cory is very good at what he does.
Paying monthly, I feel like I'm paying it forward in the event that I do have a problem. So, I like that about American Home Shield. The vendors that I’ve had were excellent. I've not had a single problem with any vendor and then they have all communicated effectively either by text or by phone call. I also have a pool and I had a plumbing leak. AB Nation Pool came out and did an excellent job as well. They communicated to me when they had been out. Everything was accessible from the outside so once I established with them that my mother who was 82 was always there, they came out. They let her know when they're on the property and did what they had to do and left. When I went to the website, I could check and see where they made the request for the materials they needed. When they got in, they came out promptly and put them in. My pool has not lost any water since.

The pilot light went out on our water heater. My nephew tried to light it numerous times, waiting 10 minutes in between, and it would light but it would not stay lit. The tech came out Friday and vacuumed it out. He said it was dirty and that was the problem. He said that it'd be hot in about 30 minutes but he said I'd need to have it vacuumed once a month. He'd been 180 miles to a meeting that morning and it was a three-hour drive for him. Then it was three hours to get back, so it was 4 o'clock before he came and he acted like he was in a hurry to start his weekend.
I have been getting a new storeroom put in all that Friday afternoon and it came in filthy dirty. And the pilot light was out again. I talked to the contractor, A-1 Plumbing, on a Friday night then, a lady called me on Sunday. She was really nice and she told me that the tech would call me the next day. The email they sent also said the next day. A-1 Plumbing also informed me that they have to go through certain procedures with AHS and that was the first of many procedures. So, I'm going five days without hot water over the weekend and it's going to be tomorrow morning before the tech could get out. The next procedure is to check the thermal coupler or the gas valve.
When I was married, we had three thermal couplers go out then we found out it was a fault in that particular year of water heaters. And though the unit was still under warranty, we ended up getting a new hot water heater and just had to pay for the labor to put it in. But this lady at A-1 Plumbing told me that we couldn't get a new hot water heater unless our unit has water in the pan. She said that was the only way AHS would approve to replace it.
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you about your ongoing concerns.

We've had plenty of issues with the claims with American Home Shield. Our fridge has been worked on five times and it still doesn't work. We just keep trying to submit it and the contractors come out and don't do their work. We also had washer and dryer issues. They never fixed that. So, we just bought our own washer and dryer. It's the contractors that AHS are selecting and then, they're not doing anything about it. When we bought the house, AHS came with it and because of the ongoing claims, we paid for another year.

The tech came in and took a look at the washer and attempted to see what the problem was. He was able to detect right away and said that it needed to be replaced. It couldn't be fixed. He put in his notes and said that he would be notifying American Home Shield that it needed to be replaced. Within hours of that, American Home Shield notified me that the appliance would be replaced. They gave me my options of I could purchase or I could use their company. They sent some pictures of the washers that I could have chosen from. I went around to several places and I was able to get the washer and dryer from Home Depot at a reasonable rate. But I still haven't sent them a copy of the invoice.

I did the claim online for the first time and it was easier, except the contractor that American Home Shield selected called me the next day like they were supposed to, but gave me a three-week window before they could fix my AC. It was a three-digit heat wave at that time. I waited a week but it got too unbearable so I called AHS. At first, I went to AHS’ customer service and the rep didn't wanna help me at all. So, I told her to turn me over to the gentleman so I could terminate my contract with them. I said that I was not gonna wait three weeks for air conditioning. She refused to switch to another contractor and said I couldn’t do that. I asked why I was paying them every month for something that I was not getting so, she switched me over to the department that cancels the contract.
I talked to a nice gentleman and he referred me to another contractor who came out within a few days. It was a week that I had to wait but it wasn't that bad. I told my friends about it and one of them had a son-in-law that had a portable AC unit. So, he brought it over. The first contractor irritated me. I researched him online and found out he had horrible reviews. So, I didn't want him working on my unit. The tech from the second contractor, Multnomah, was good. He came out and went right into the problem, resolved it quickly and told me what was wrong with the unit. Then, he told me that I had to pay for the refrigerant, which I totally spaced. I didn't remember that. But I went back and checked my contract, and it was true. So, I paid for the refrigerant, which doesn't get covered under my American Home insurance, and everything went great. The AC has been working great ever since.
I canceled American Home a few months ago. Because I arranged to have my air conditioning system reviewed for $99, which was a special that they were throwing out, and that never occurred. The guy never showed up, never called and never did anything. I called in and AHS wouldn't help me on that, so that was when I terminated the contract. But I'm in my 70s. I've been in the house for 30 years and I don't plan on going anywhere. So, I thought about it and I said I’d better get back on it because it's a better deal than you thought. So, that was when I rejoined. And then, this happened. It could have gone more smoothly at the beginning so, that was a customer service issue. I’d dealt with a lot of these companies and people over the years, and that's not a very good friendly reaction.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We are working to improve the overall customer experience. Thanks for your patience during this process.

I had Select Home Warranty and my deductible and premiums were cheaper. But they required, every six months, service maintenance records. I was tired of dealing with it and wanted something that was more cut and dried. American Home Shield seems to be a whole lot more cut and dried. I understand caps. They'll only pay so much. I don't expect them to go in and replace everything in my home that could possibly be wrong. But at the same time, if I'm going to pay for some type of coverage, I at least want it to be substantial enough that the coverage is helping me with not having maintenance on every item in my home every six months because for blue collar folks, that's not reasonable. American Home Shield works out for me because I have older stuff. You're gonna pay one way or another, and I prefer to pay a little bit of time and a service fee as opposed to coming out of my pocket with big chunks.
Recently, I was getting water in a place in my home that was unexplainable. I couldn't figure out where the water was coming from. It could be the shower drain, the valves from the shower, or the pipe leading up to my showerhead. A plumber came and saw right away that my shower drain was bad, so he took care of that. This is the second time the contractor has been in my home, and both times, they’ve been great. I did this claim over the phone because all those boxes weren't available to be checked online. I wanted to make sure that I went into very much detail to avoid having to file multiple claims in case it worked to be more than one thing. I ran into this with an electrical claim and I didn't claim everything that needed to be claimed on there so I had to go outside of my warranty and get some other things done that would have been covered had I known how to fill out the request submittal in more detail.

I use American Home Shield for my home and my kids’ homes. It is costly, but I can sleep at night knowing that if the air conditioning goes out, somebody comes the next day.

I called American Home Shield and then they contacted Advantage Pool. Then they set up an appointment and came out and fixed the pool pump. They did a great job. Everything is good. I've had both good and bad experiences with American Home Shield. They've been really good with the pool stuff. But they were the worst when it came to replacing my air conditioning system. It took forever. Finally, I just purchased it out of pocket because it was ridiculous how bad it was. So I would never recommend American Home Shield for anyone if all they were interested in was their conditioning system.

When the repairman came out the first time for the AC, he thought he had solved the problem based on what was happening. He told me to monitor it and see if the house started to cool. I left it on for two days, and the temperature never went down. It constantly ran. I called the American Home Shield back, and they sent him back out. He did additional tests and found that something needed to be replaced. American Home Shield called me and told me what the repairman said. I had to pay an additional $400 for parts that weren't covered. That didn't make me happy, but I did it ‘cause I needed the air conditioner and it was cheaper than having to pay $5,000 for a new unit. He came back out, fixed it and my air conditioner has been working fine ever since. The only question I had was why was my deductible so much higher than my family members who referred me. They said it was because of the freon. I get free freon and they don't. Otherwise, I'm enjoying American Home Shield’s service.

The contractors are great. However, there were a couple of situations where American Home Shield was not able to assist and not being as timely so I ended up taking care of myself. They haven't been as valuable as I hoped them to be. My sister asked me about it last week and I advised her. We have Consumer Reports and sometimes the consumer reporter will say, "Don't dive into these warranty companies. Whatever money you would pay to them, put into a separate bank account." That's what I advised my sister. You're still going to have to pay the deductible and you're paying that monthly fee. I'm giving American Home Shield another month or two. After that, if I don't feel the value then I'll drop it.

American Home Shield sent Accord for the icemaker that was leaking. It was initially scheduled on a Monday, and nobody showed up or called. I tried calling the number that was associated with Accord Appliance. Nobody was picking up. They have their own chat option for an agent, but that was not working. The entire Monday and Tuesday, I tried to reach out to them, but nobody was there. Finally, somebody called me back on Wednesday saying that the technician was coming on Thursday, to which I asked the person, “What the heck happened on Monday?” All of their technicians were busy. It would have helped if somebody would have called us so that we could have gone on our day and done other stuff instead of waiting for the technician to show up when nobody did. The guy that called me Wednesday did not even say, "We're so sorry that that happened."
On Thursday, the person arrived. He was young, very professional, straight to the point, and fixed the issue. I was not happy with Accord but I was very happy with the technician. He said the refrigerator that we have, from the factory, always has a chronic issue with regards to the ice maker. It's how it was engineered and how it was designed. He showed me the old icemaker and then the new one that he was gonna replace it with. It's working like it's supposed to now.
I also had this exterior lighting installed. It was an option that for homeowners, you get a discounted rate. An electrician showed up and gave me a quote for about 149. I mentioned to him, "I saw on AHS website that there's a $40 discount. Would that be taken after this?" He was like, "Yeah." So I said, "Okay. So that'll be 109 then.” He installed this and texted me the figure. Afterward, I got a call that it was 189 after the $40 discount. I was not happy. I sent AHS the picture from the electrician that gave me the quote. So, I will never pick that option for AHS that says, "These are the other option. $79 to vacuum two rooms," ever again. As far as communication with AHS is concerned, I'm very happy. I just wish that they were more helpful with that light hookup but other than that, I'm very satisfied.

In the last two years, this was the fifth time that techs had to come out for our refrigerator. Last year, they replaced that thing that freezes up the top of the refrigerator. They replaced it twice. This year, they replaced a part. The fourth time they came out, the fridge on top, got frozen up. The guy said, "The guy put the part in wrong." So he changed that. It froze up again after two weeks. The same guy came out. He was really pleasant. He knew what he was doing. But he said, "It's showing the same numbers up on top that it showed the last time. So I need to change the same part again plus the circuit board.” We had to wait for a week for the circuit board to come in. He called us and he came and replaced both the parts.
So far, it's working. It hasn't frozen up again. Hopefully, now that he put the circuit board and that little thing, it'll be okay. 'Cause he said those types of refrigerators should last 15 years. AHS responds the best they can. But when it comes to refrigerators, that should have priority as getting out here because there's food that will go bad that can't be replaced.

American Home Shield doesn't take forever to get a contractor out when you call. I like that. When I call, I get a response. It's not like I gotta leave a message and wait. There's always somebody there to answer and take my information down. Then I get a call back and let me know when they would be here. They give me a time frame for when they will be here, and they're here. Sometimes, they come early because of another case they may have finished up earlier. Recently, I called and made an appointment for the AC that was making a lot of noise. In two to three days, a repairman was out here. He identified himself and let me know where he was from. He came to check my air conditioning unit. Then we went on around and checked it out. After that, I asked him to check the thermostat inside, and he did so. He solved the problem.

Some kind of pump was leaking around my water heater. I called up AHS and they told me who was coming out like they always do. In the end, the plumber didn't actually repair it because they said a part was missing and American Home Shield said the service wasn't covered because of that. But we don't take parts off of a water heater so, I complained to American Home Shield and I told them that it was the same problem that we had had six months prior. I told them to send back out the company who fixed it the first time and they did. Those techs said that nothing was missing and they ordered a part. We’re supposed to get the part fixed next week.
Other than that, AHS doesn't pay like they used to. If your refrigerator broke and they couldn't get it fixed, they used to pay for the whole thing. Now, they only pay for part of it. Also, they need to change some of the contractor people that they have because some of them when they come out, they try to find something else wrong so they can make some money on the side in addition to what American Home Shield is paying them. I think they don't get paid a lot from American Home Shield. So, sometimes, the experience depends on who they send out and there are certain companies that I tell them not to send again.

Everything in my garage and outside my outlet stopped working. One of the prongs for when you plug something into the wall had broken off. We called the techs in and they removed that piece and reset something. Working with AHS is very easy.

American Home Shield's service is great. I like not having to worry about coming up with $12,000 for a new AC unit and it's very easy to do business with them. I also always get somebody out in a timely manner and they're always good. They either fix the appliance or replace it and we've had two washers replaced so far. We recently had a claim for a bad switch in our attic. It was burned out and not working, so the techs replaced it.

The service has been pretty good. Recently my air conditioning unit had a leak. The techs had to replace the fan which had burned out. They resolved the problem right then. I've had previous claims as well with a hot water heater with a pilot that keeps going out. American Home Shield has sent somebody three times and the techs just relight it and it ends up going out again. I'm disappointed in that as it's an ongoing problem and I'm still getting charged for it. I've paid the deductible each time. I thought that if it was the same problem, you didn't get charged for it.
Also, AHS could have a more timely manner of someone getting a hold of me after I send in my claim. Other than that, I've had good luck with the technicians. They have always been really good.

The process took longer than expected. Unfortunately, my heat pump is a Lennox that can't use interchangeable parts so we had to get Lennox parts. It came initially within a week. That was great, but once the contractor started playing with it, they were turning up being another part that ended up being required with the motor. They got it ordered. Once that was done, everything was taken care of satisfactorily and it cost me 100 bucks total. That's hard to beat. At this point, I'm happy. Vail Heating & Cooling was fantastic. They would call to check with me.
I also submitted a service request to American Home Shield for a roof leak. They said they’d be working on getting a technician. A couple of weeks went by but nothing happened. I followed up with them, and it turned out they were in the same position as everybody else. Even companies I know and trust and work with locally couldn't come out till November. It was a leak so I just had somebody do it ‘cause it couldn't wait in this case. American Home Shield said they were sorry and and credited back my service request fee. Everybody's fine and happy.

I made three calls to American Home Shield. One was for a ceiling fan that my sister said blew up and the electrician couldn't find anything wrong with it. It's still working. The second call was for my gas stove. I was having issues with burners and techs came out and told me what was going on with that. Nothing had to be fixed or repaired on either one of those. The water heater recently developed a leak and I was very pleased with the plumber that came out. It took a little while that I was without hot water. Other than that, it was a good experience. I just bought new appliances and I didn’t buy extended warranties on them.

We had two techs out last week for the dishwasher that wasn't draining and they had to come back twice. The first time, they replaced the motherboard but when I ran it, it still didn't empty. The second tech who is better than the first guy took care of it. The contractor, Astro Appliances, was courteous, efficient and quick.

The first time I used American Home Shield, it wasn't a very pleasant experience, but the second time was. It was for the AC unit. I don't live at the house. The tenant does, but he didn't have any gripes or concerns. Whenever I put in a request, they have up to 24 hours to respond. That means that your AC or fridge could be down for 24 hours and then you have to wait for a service rep to come out and deal with it. So, it could be five days before something gets looked at. If they chopped that time of acceptance and dispatch to a worker into about 12 hours, that'd be cool.
Other than that, I liked that I didn't have to call 32 people to check up on things and payment was automatic and I didn't have to have two service people come out and look at something. I didn't have to pay that deposit twice, too. But let's say if an AC tech comes out and cannot fix the issue and I need to get dispatched to a different company, I would have to pay the $50 service fee again to a different company and hopefully, they can fix it. I had to deal with that on my first AC issue. I had to pay that deposit twice.

I've had American Home Shield for years on my home as well as my rental property. I was with this home warranty when the service fee was $35, which was a million years ago. I got away from them then I went back because they seemed to cover the most things and they seemed to stand by the work and the program. The contractors tend to be on the ball too. I also liked the way that they have a setup where you got all these feedback options and surveys. I used them when there was an issue with the air conditioner at my rental property. Everything must have gone pretty well because my tenant didn't complain.
One issue I have with American Home Shield is when I call, sometimes the rep does not always confirm which property is in question so they sent contractors to the wrong house before. That's a waste of time and money. The last time we did this, we had to do a credit. The credit process worked fine but then you would have to reapply and get a contractor to reschedule for another thing. I didn't like that part as I don't have time for that.
Other than that, American Home Shield does what they say they are gonna do. I've had all kinds of stuff going on between the two homes and it's been great. I've tried other warranty companies intermittently just to see and it was horrible. Some programs out there play with the service fee then they question whether they can do certain things. I don't like that. American Home Shield is solid and I wouldn't go with any other company. I've been around the block a few times and I've done this for a minute. They charge a little bit more than the others, but you get what you pay for. I've already recommended the American Home Shield a couple of times to a co-worker and she used them.

I truly hope this review gets posted so maybe it can save other people the trouble and miserable experience. Purchased a home and instantly did a bunch remodel and updates so thought it was a good idea to get a whole home warranty to cover it all! It was NOT! We Purchased the highest package American Home Shield had to offer, luckily didn't need anything for the 1st 9-10 months of our year contract but sadly our heat pump that was only 4 years old went out so we called AHS for the 1st time... this was the day EVERYTHING started to go downhill.
Initial call was straightforward, THEY choose the repair people you can use and so they sent our info over to who they chose and finally got a call a few days.. week(?) later from N.W. Sundance Services... was a MONTH before they could even come and diagnose it (at this point I should mention I actually forgot about AHS and had a local HVAC co come diagnose it 1st), I let AHS and Sundance know I in fact already had a diagnoses done on it and would be happy to forward it but they said they had to use THEIR guy for it which I didn't argue it because I understood it was probably their policy. They made me pay $100 fee up front to make the appointment and Finally after a month they showed up. Took them all of about 5 minutes to "diagnose" it from the exact thing I told them, the freon was burnt and black which ment the compressor fried...
The tech then warned me with AHS it will probably take a FEW weeks before they get paperwork handled and parts ordered and in. (Of course this was while it was 100 deg weather most days). Said ok I'll keep checking in and at least it should still be done before the heavy summer heat hits. Checked in with BOTH companies weekly with ZERO updates, (good time to also point out AHS has "billing system issues" and had just over-charged me by 3 full months right before all this and couldn't figure out how to "fix" it so I just said fine leave it, at least accounts paid in full till renewal in Sept... NOPE, even though their system showed the payments so I didn't have to make a payment for next 3 months it still also tried to bill me the following month then showed as if it was late so their "collection department" called me 1 to 3 times a day for a total of 72 calls!!!
EVERY time I chose to answer I'd explain it to them, they'd look it up and verify it was really paid, told me customer service and billing has been notified etc etc and it would be fixed in a few days but id get no more calls! Again, 72 calls and 2 months later.. STILL not fixed. Fast forward over another month and finally talked to a couple right people and found out NW sundance had a employee that "lost" my paperwork for over a month, that she was fired for doing other stuff like it and they would not only get it handled by end of day but put me as priority and get it in FAST... DID get a Email next day from AHS saying it's finally been "partially processed" but there was a uncovered cost of almost $800!!
Made my appointment with sundance, there idea of "fast" was yet ANOTHER month out! (Total of 3 months of hot HOT summer heat) so at this point we had to give in and go buy some portable AC units just to get the inside of our home under 115 deg in the evening for our kids and pets, then started the process of checking about the uncovered costs. DOZENS and I mean DOZENS of calls and 15+ hours on the phone later, including almost 2 hrs on with a AHS supervisor going line by line down my contract to check coverages and stuff to verify the uncovered costs WE figured out that NW Sundance Services was fraudulently charging not only AHS for work they didn't need to do but the entire "non-covered cost" trying to be billed to me was not needing done either!
So lots more back and forth with AHS and sundance (which NW Sundance Services not only NEVER answered their phone but most days their voice mailbox was full so you couldn't leave a message). All the way to the day of install, their tech showed up with the new heat-pump before I could ever get clarification about the charge. The office made him demand the full money up front (again this was all while they kept telling me it was all just a estimate and if it didn't need done then I wouldn't have to pay etc etc) so when I asked WHY I had to pay before he even unboxed it to see if it needed the $800 "modification" sundance said "AHS already approved us charging you this so no matter what we do or don't do you still have to pay the full cost!"...
At this point I let them know I paid a local HVAC company to come verify what I had, what would be needed or not needed etc etc and I knew for a fact that since my system was ALREADY updated/modified it shouldn't need MOST of what they are trying to say it needed... I then informed them that ok I'll pay it but I was going to watch the installer (he already said I could no problem!) And if I saw that they DIDNT really need to modify or add what they billed me for but chose to still say they did the work that I'd file a report with BBB and CCB for fraud... but again if they are being above board there there shouldn't be a issue!
She then hung up on me, called the tech and made him pack up and leave with my heat pump! And within MINUTES they called AHS and told them that I demanded they not do the work and that I said I wanted to be transferred to a new hvac company... ALL lies! AHS spent the last week stringing me along, telling me how sorry they are and absolutely they could get a new tech out with the heat pump and get it handles ASAP... that was a supervisor on Friday, he said he talked to their "contractor relations" department and directly approved that not only was it ok to transfer but that they could use the previous contractor's diagnoses so we didn't have to start all over. Said I'd get a call no later than Saturday with new contractor's name and they would call and schedule no later than Monday (which was yesterday)...
No calls or emails by yesterday from ANYONE so I called in the afternoon just to be told that the notes said (reminder, they didn't bother to even call me to tell me this!!) that contractor relations denied my transfer request because NW sundance said it was ME who "fired" them not them who quit! I requested a supervisor call me back (since I was told BY a supervisor that they wouldn't let that happen!) and they did today and basically told me sorry there's nothing they can do and my only option is take their "cash out offer" and then informed me that the offer is usually a LOT less then what it would cost me to personally hire someone local but that's how it is and again there's nothing I can do about it.
A hour later I get a email with the "offer" and it was LESS than HALF of what it will cost me!! Literally THOUSANDS of dollars less.... and to top it off they also "REQUIRE" that I have my heat pump replaced FIRST and pay it in full out of my pocket BEFORE they will send me a check for the small amount they approved... so to recap, I've paid around $700 so far in total monthly "coverage", $100 for there so called service fee, over a $1000 to buy minimal portable AC units because it took over 3 months because of there and the company they hired's mess-ups and now since they REFUSE to hire another company directly (as they should per the contract) so they can pay the company directly which WOULD cover at least 100% of the cost of the heat pump and basic install, I now have to pay somewhere around $3000 more to do it directly myself OVER and NOT including the $2k they said they would eventually reimburse me for...
Don't even get me started on all the personal income loss having to spend so much time trying to handle all this for and also the multiple days for their installer to NOT even install anything... hands down the WORST experience I've ever had to deal with with another business and company... I will NOT be renewing our contract obviously and I recommend to anyone that took the time to read this, DO NOT use AHS or NW Sundance Services!!!

I called AHS and told them he never returned and to send someone else. They said I’d need to pay another $75 because the guy said order complete. I told them he didn’t do anything! I argued and finally they sent another company on Friday. Same thing. Said he’d have to report to AHS and he’d be back Monday. Keep in mind that now we are 5 days in extreme heat. I told him I’d pay all but he said he couldn’t do anything until he’d submitted the report. Said I truly needed my unit replaced but he had never known AHS to replace a unit. He never returned.
On Tuesday morning I called a local company without using AHS. They brought freon and my unit began to cool better but struggling. Said I needed a new unit but the freon would hold me a few weeks. I requested my $75 back from AHS since they didn’t solve my AC problem nor was I allowed to pay their tech, but they declined. When I said I wanted to cancel only then did they agree to refund. Later, I never received my refund so I called again. They said oh, it’s a credit on your next bill. I asked to cancel again. They put me in a long hold, came back and said if I didn’t cancel they would credit my bank account.
I interviewed 3 companies and decided on replacing with a Lennox. They came 2 days later and installed. They were wonderful. $8000 out of my pocket that AHS should have covered. I called AHS to cancel. This is the 3rd request. They offered me $100 not to cancel. I said, "I don’t want to wheel and deal with you. I just want to cancel!!!" Finally, I asked for a manager. He put me on hold a long time. Finally he said he’d cancel but I’d have to pay one more month. I was so put out I agreed because I couldn’t deal with another conversation. All the people I spoke with was from another country (except when you purchase your plan). I had to ask several times to repeat himself and was exhausted with dealing with AHS.

Every time we've needed a repair done through AHS it has been a major hassle, requiring me to make multiple phone calls to Customer Service get a satisfactory resolution. In general, things move very slowly and they never contact you as promised, you always have to contact them. Their business model seems to be to make things as hard as possible so customers give up.
Case 1 - We had a problem with our heating system. It is an older system and after filing the request, nothing happened for weeks. I called AHS and was told they couldn't find a contractor in my area to do the work. No one had contacted me to tell me this nor was that information on my "Dashboard." Finally, they approved my getting my own contractor and I submitted the bill for reimbursement. I had to call multiple times to get reimbursed, and even getting a status on the reimbursement was impossible.
Case 2 - We had a leaky faucet. The plumber showed up and said they couldn't do the work because they couldn't access the components. I didn't hear anything from AHS until I called them a week later and they wanted to charge me $500 to increase the access hole. I told them I would do it myself (20 minutes of work). Then, I had to wait another week or more to reschedule the plumber. What was a 30 minute plumbing job took over a month and several phone calls to resolve.
Case 3 - Heating system problem again. Called them and explained the problem. They marked it as a plumbing issue. Waited several days for a contractor to be assigned. The plumber they'd assigned said he didn't work on heating systems. I had to call AHS again and explain everything... again. I asked them to approve a 3rd party contractor like the last time the heating system failed, they refused. I also asked for the repair to be expedited and learned "expedited" to AHS means "4 Days" just to get a contractor assigned, let alone get an appointment for the repair. Meanwhile, we have no heat and water is causing damage to our house. We are still waiting for a resolution to this problem.
The good news.. the $600 I spent on the warranty will likely save me $2000 or more when all is said and done. But, it has cost me many, many hours on the phone and many, many headaches. One final point. Check the active dates on your contract, we found out the hard way (when a toilet backed) that we weren't covered for the first few weeks after we moved into our house. When I signed up, I had assumed we were covered after the first payment. Not true.

My sink was backing up into my tub and the water took a long time to go down. I called AHS on the phone and the claims process wasn't easy. The first thing they wanted to do was take my $100 and I told them that I had to wait until I get my check on the second Wednesday of the month, then I’d call them back. And when I did, I let them take the $100 then they asked what was my problem. I told them what was going on and they said they would have a plumber get in contact with them, and would set me up for an appointment. But they don’t do any of that anymore. The plumber texted me then he asked me what day he could come. He then told me the day and hours that he was coming, and it worked out fine for me.
When he came out, he was wonderful. He went up there, ran a snake down in there, and said there was hair and dead skin all down in the tub. Somebody told me he was going to have to go use the long snake, go down in there, and it was going to take forever. But it did not even take him 20 minutes and he put the stuff in the truck. My daughter also has AHS and she’s having problems with them about her air conditioner. The techs came out and fixed it, but it's still not working. So she is really not happy with them right now.

We are so thankful that our real estate agent got us American Home Shield. We had to have an entirely new thermostat put in. The garage door opener had to be replaced. The dryer and the fridge had to be serviced. Then I have a couple more things from our inspection that I still need to follow up with. The claims process has been super smooth. I'm able to hop online and click the button, and then I oftentimes have a service person call me within a couple of hours. So, it's been really swift. Sometimes they don't have parts but that's not American Home Shield’s issue. They've been super easy to reach when I have questions. It's a new process for us and I've been able to ask clarifying questions anytime. They're really helpful. I've been sharing their services with friends because I've been so impressed.

Sears came out to evaluate the dryer to see if it could be fixed or if the part could be ordered. But I waited and waited for them to bring the part. There was a little misunderstanding as to the callback to tell me it wasn't getting repaired or they sent me a email and I didn't see it. They had an appointment then I called the day before and they said they couldn't repair it. So, I was six weeks out without a dryer because I was waiting. Then, I was offered cash to go get my own in which I did. I went through Costco, so I need to send AHS an email to get my refund back for the purchase.

Albatross did quite well on the repair of my washing machine and refrigerator.

The motor of the blower of the furnace was broken. The techs had to replace it. Also, the air conditioner was working outside and it was going like crazy. But it blows out fine now and the thermostat is keeping fairly accurate readings. Whenever we've called for some of these situations like the air conditioning, it felt like it took a bit too long to get things fixed. It was a total of a week and a half from putting in a claim to get the issue completely fixed because we had to wait for them to be able to come over and look at the unit and see what was going on and then they had to order a part and that took a week.
American Home Shield is one of the only options we had having a manufactured home. But in the grand scheme of things, it has been pretty beneficial. We've made at least one claim every year. Spending $75 to have someone come out and look at the problem and not having to worry about paying for the cost of the parts or labor has been a godsend for us.

Within a couple of months, we had two garage door situations. The first one, the garage door stopped working and we needed it to work to get our cars out of the garage. The techs indicated that the spring was broken. They replaced it, and it worked. We were pleased with the first business. We have three doors, and when the other door stopped working, we thought, "Hey, they're familiar with the house. We don't need a bunch of businesses coming. Let's have the same party come back out." American Home Shield made it seem like that was difficult for them to do and that was a little annoying. In their system, businesses pop up when you contact them for a request and you go with whatever pops up versus going back to somebody that you like working with. Things worked out well though.
Cactus Garage Doors came and we were satisfied with their service. They discovered that there was something in the way of the sensor where it would not allow the door to work, and they fixed it. On the other hand, my most recent experience was a fiasco nightmare. It had to do with our air conditioning, and the company and American Home Shield left a lot to be desired. It was very frustrating. We had to call American Home Shield multiple times to call the provider, and I don't have a lot of time to be on the phone. We're in Las Vegas, and the heat is in the hundreds. In this heat, I was worried about my husband's health. We're elderly, and it was scary that they couldn't get the air conditioning thing right. Nobody could figure it out.
We found out that one of the technicians was being trained and he failed to close a door that triggers the air conditioning. If that door in the ceiling is open, then the unit is not going to work. If the door is secured, it would work. It took two weeks to figure out, and it was annoying as hell. That was the poorest experience we've had. Everything else has been smooth for the most part, and we've been members for 20 years. We left California and picked up where we left off continuing with American Home Shield. We've been satisfied over the years.

Perry's Pump Repair came out and worked on the well pump. The breaker was shutting off all the time so we weren't getting water in the house. They recommended that we have an electrician come out and look at it and they notified American Home Shield. I wasn't happy with the company that American Home Shield recommended so I canceled the claim and hired my own electrician.
The process itself was very good but unfortunately, the company that they were going to use for the electric was in Orlando, Florida, which is over an hour away. That's useless to me. American Home Shield doesn't use local contractors, which is a very big deal for me. Also, when I looked at the feedback from the contractors, it was very poor feedback. Why would I have a company come here that has such poor feedback? I will do away with American Home Shield because, to me, it's useless.

I had an air conditioning problem and it took over a month to finally get it fixed. After I reported the problem to AHS, they told me right away, within 24 hours, that they found the company that was going to fix it. They said that they would contact me within 24 hours, but if the company didn’t contact me within 24 hours, I could call them and AHS provided a number.
So, I waited for 24 hours. When I didn’t get a call, I called the contractor and there was just a recorded message telling me to leave a message. I left a message and I waited another 24 hours, but there was nothing. I called again and still got nothing. It went on for almost two weeks, then when I contacted American Home Shield, they said to just give them time and they would contact me. So, it went on and on. I waited over two weeks then finally, I told AHS that they had to recommend someone else. These people were not accommodating or sending some kind of response which was all I needed. I was so angry since my house inside was over 100 degrees. I had a fan going on, but it didn’t help much at all.
Finally, I got a text message saying that the contractor was trying to contact me. So, I called that number and they said they wouldn't be able to come out until a week later from the day they called. They also said they tried to call me but I wouldn’t answer. Apparently, someone was trying to call me, but it wasn’t at the company’s phone number. They were using somebody’s private phone number from some other state and when my phone doesn’t recognize the phone number, it thinks it’s a scam and blocks it automatically. So, I never got their call. They tried to blame the extension of two days on me since during those two days I didn’t answer the phone.
Anyway, they said that on the day of the appointment, they would come out at 10:00 to 2:00. I have a security gate and I told the security that someone would be coming through 10:00 to 2:00. But I waited all day and got nothing. I kept calling the company and most of the time, nobody answered. I had to leave a message to keep asking them to call me back if they were still coming. Then, they showed up at about 5:15. They said they had to go to another job and were delayed. I understood that but all they had to do was let me know that they were still coming out of courtesy. I was so happy to see them though, regardless of everything that happened.
The two young men who came out were very nice and worked very hard until 9 o’clock. I felt sorry for them, so I gave them dinner and they were so grateful. They finished the job at about 10:30 in the evening and everything’s been fixed. But I hope I never have to go through that ordeal again. American Home Shield should have been a little bit more responsible. When I called them, they should have followed up with these people right away and there should have been more response to the client’s needs.

I had a couple of claims with AHS. The oven has to be replaced. It's being worked on. They offered me a replacement, but the replacement is not in stock. They were saying that I need to pay for a comparable unit. But what they were offering me from a cash perspective won't pay for a unit. I told them, "You need to allow me to have this one that is in stock that is comparable.” But they want $300 instead of zero. I don't think I should have to pay. If they don't have a replacement, then they need to replace it. The air conditioning, I've had a claim every year for three years. Same issue. They just kept swapping parts on it. This time, it was five weeks without air conditioning over the summer. So, that put a bad taste in my mouth. But other than that, everything's been good.
The claim with my washer was beautiful. I filed the claim electronically. Their repair person was able to come out right away. It was an unrepairable issue. They offered me a replacement. It, too, was not in stock and not available, but because it was over the 4th of July holiday, there were sales going on at Lowe's. I was able to get a comparable unit for the cash offer that they had. I would do the same for the oven, but it's a $1,000 difference between what I can buy and what they were offering.

My air conditioner was not cooling and this was on a Saturday night. On Sunday morning, I put in a claim to American Home Shield.

It would be a good idea for American Home Shield to have somebody around this area that would do weekend repairs. I personally would not have minded paying extra to them because it gets so hot and miserable and you can’t sleep at night.

Atlanta Air was wonderful and they really tried to accommodate me and get out here as quickly as they could. I called them around 9:00 and their techs were here a little before 11:00. They had the parts available. It was something that had to do with pushing the Freon through and into the system. They got my air conditioner up and running within 30 minutes.

American Home Shield helped us a few times but I thought some of their policies were not quite right. We had some faulty bathroom fixtures, but they don't want to pay to replace the fixtures. They only would replace the inner workings, but we had to purchase the outer workings ourselves. Also, we have some outside faucets that leaked that are attached to the house but because the faucet part comes outside of the house, they won't fix them. They're soldered inside the wall, so they have to tear out the wall to fix it. They don't cover it because the outside pokes out even though the problem is inside the wall. I guess it leaks outside the wall, but it can't be repaired without tearing into the wall and they don't cover the tearing into the wall part.
The plumbing company that they sent out was really unprofessional. They came out twice and they didn't fix everything we had asked them to do. There seems to be some communication breakdown. Apparently, you have to ask for every teeny little thing when you make your call, even though we don't know what every teeny little thing is. Then the company comes out and makes the evaluation and then they send the report back to them. Then, they come back out again. We were not really happy with the plumber they sent out. I asked for them to send out a different plumber. They said that they would, but instead of ever sending out one after waiting a month or so, I got a letter saying, "Oh, we're not going to cover that because it's cosmetic."
What they were calling cosmetic on the fixtures, like the faucet that comes out of the tub, was all corroded and sharp. We thought that they should replace that, but they said, "Oh, no. That's cosmetic." I was like, "It's not cosmetic. It does not work the way it's intended to work." The fixtures don't fit up flush against the wall kit and I think that they should correct those. Instead, they came out and put some new fixtures on that we had to pay for ourselves, but they still don't fit. So, now we're gonna have to get a plumber on our own because I don't think that they're going to fix the problem. So, we've spent the $75 for their plumber to come out and not fix it properly. Even though they did do some corrections, they're not done properly. We have to call somebody else out to have it done correctly.

We had cold water that continued coming into my sink in my bathroom. I realized that it was an air conditioner, but I felt a plumber would unstop it. They ran a line all the way through. Once the plumber went ahead and drained the line, the water started filling up. It clogged up in another area. It went up the stairs over in the attic, and water was pouring from the pan. All of a sudden, the water started filling up, and the pan bent once it started filling up. Instead of cutting the air conditioner off, it went ahead and water started pouring out on the right side which went through my patio part on the side instead of going through the sheetrock port on the other side.
At that point, I saw my air conditioning person down the street. I ran over there, paid them a few hundred bucks, and they went ahead and ran a line. After that, I felt like I needed to call American Home Shield again. They said that they cured the problem. I’ve been with American Home Shield 10 years in a row. Normally, they do a tremendous job.

In the meantime, I have this junk of big piece of dishwasher in the middle of my kitchen, blocking everything. This is wrong because I can get hurt. When they bring an item, they have to arrange for the installation the same day. They cannot leave such a big unit in the middle of the kitchen and leave. I called them yesterday and today, and they are working on it. If I have to fight for everything, it's not a service. I was very happy with American Home Shield. But when I use it now, it’s very frustrating. I want to be taken care of especially that I’m such an old timer and I hardly used them. I want to be satisfied and continue to use them.

Sometimes I like American Home Shield but sometimes I don't like the contractors that they assign to me. Some contractors are scheduled days and days out, or they don't answer their phone. One time, a contractor showed up. My sink was leaking but they left without repairing it because it, in their opinion, wasn't on the plan. They left me high and dry.

The air condition wasn't cooling. I made the claim on a Wednesday and it was easy. The techs weren't originally supposed to come out until that Monday but I have medical issues so they expedited it for me. I was thankful they were able to come out. I was able to get the air condition fixed on that Saturday. It's just a basic repair. They did well. Having a warranty with American Home Shield saves me money.

Water started to leak from the bottom of my refrigerator. American Home Shield's customer service was very professional when we called in the claim. We were informed when someone would be there and they followed up with a proper email. The contractor was scheduled to come two or three days after I set things up. But they actually came a day after. They called me and said they had an opening in the area.
The man that came out was very competent. He opened the door of the refrigerator and the freezer. He looked at it and said that the drain was plugged up. It took him about an hour to do the work. He cleared everything out, opened up the drain, removed all the frozen ice that was causing the drain to block up further, cleaned everything and put it back together. The refrigerator was working fine when he left. But the temperature started rising instead of going down and I got a little nervous. I called the office and I was told to be patient and that it would take a few hours. The temperature will go up then go down. Sure enough, that was what happened. It was a very nice experience.

Do Not Get This "warranty." They do not hold up their warranty. My basement was actively flooding for 48 hours while they promised me emergency services, that someone would come to my house. They made me call and call and go through several hours of waiting in ques several times. After 48 hours of calling repeatedly, getting hung up on, and being taken in circles, they finally approved me to get my own contractor. Then, of course, when the contractor came out, they refused to take his call and claimed their system was down and that he would need to call back later. There is no way to get ahold of management or anyone competent at this company.
Upon having services done they refuse to reimburse payment for any of the work including the diagnostic and the emergency fees that they had authorized you to get. They make up lies about what happened to cause your item to fail so they can decline coverage. They then try to manipulate vendors to say the cause was something not covered when you call them out on their lies. They steal your money by charging service fees and never sending anyone out or by refusing to pay the people that do come out so you end up having to pay it all out of pocket in addition their service fee.
Their representatives are all off shore, nearly impossible to understand, and they send emails that are completely illiterate. They do not respond for several business days by email and calling gets you nowhere. They are a waste of time and sanity. 48 hours of being lead on to believe someone was coming to my house resulted in tens of thousands of dollars in damages to my basement. This company is awful, I fully believe they are a scam. Just throw your money in a fire pit outside.

Having AHS gives us a sense of comfort knowing that if something goes wrong, we just make a phone call and they’ll be out the next day to take care of it. We recently had the annual check before the winter kicks in. The techs did a thorough check of the furnace, air conditioning, and all the functions that go along with it. They were fast with doing their work, took everything, and left.

I like American Home Shield so far. It's been a short amount of time, but it's been working out for me. Recently, I noticed that after using the sink a few times, the water was staying there versus going down. I filed a claim to see if American Home Shield could help me. They told me the name of the contracting company. Then the contractor called me and asked me what was going on. They came down the following day while a family member was here. They communicated to whoever was here everything they could communicate. They also emailed me pictures. They communicated to the best of their ability.

We had some water pressure issues. I made a claim with AHS online and it was really convenient. Within about 24 hours, I got confirmed and not too long after that, Messina, the contractor, reached out to me. When the techs came out, they looked things over and gave me a game plan for what I would need to order to get the issue fixed. I initially thought that it was our water heater that was clogging up but they looked at that, said that it looked fine and that the pressure was good in it, and that the issue was in our pressure tank that was out in our well house. So, I'm going to have to purchase a new pressure pump and I haven't looked to see if that's part of the appliances for American Home Shield or not. Other than that, their service has been pretty great.

The tech looked around at the appliances and told me what he was going to do to try to get the issue fixed. Something about the frame on my stove was bent and the contractor couldn't do the repair. They arranged for me to get a new stove and it was supposed to be delivered last Friday, but they canceled and said they would do it this Friday. Another thing was, I told American Home Shield that the people they had sent for my air conditioner could go about going through them to get the unit replaced, but they said they didn't do that. And the price that they quoted me to fix it was a lot more than I could afford. So, AHS said that I could have someone else come in and then, they would give me a partial reimbursement. However, the one person that came out quoted me a high leak research fee. It was $100 for them to come out and then, they wanted to do a $200 research fee. And this wasn't through American Home Shield.
Another local place only charged me $49 to come out and they were able to fix it. However, when I submitted the claim to AHS for the reimbursement, they denied it and said that I would have to get a brand-new part and they couldn't provide me the reimbursement because of that. I told them that when I spoke to the people on the phone about getting another person to come out, no one said something about it having to be a brand-new part. So, I paid two additional service fees in addition to the one that I paid initially to American Home Shield, which they took out from my account, and they still didn't give me the reimbursement. From the first experience, I was going to cancel them right then and there because they didn't do what they promised to do. And when I called back in, they gave me all these other stipulations.

We had American Home Shield for 10 or 12 years. We had great experiences. During the summer while we were moving into our home, our air conditioner went out. AHS was fixing that for us. It went out again a few weeks later and the dealer said we had to have a new system so a new one was put in. When we moved in, we had four-gas burner range. No sooner had moved in, two of the burners weren't working. The product was outdated and AHS just cashed us out as they could not get parts. Within a few months, we had three or four claims. It was incredible that we had this insurance and they were so good.
A few years down the road, our furnace went out in the winter. AHS sent someone here to put a new furnace in and he was from Lansing, Illinois. We depended on AHS to send us reliable people. He definitely was not. He was terrible. He put the system in and he took days. We were in our home without heat and he never once told me that supposedly we had some sort of insurance with AHS that would have allowed us to go to a motel. We had no idea. We went out and bought a few little heaters to try to keep us warm.
The tech did a very poor job of installing the new furnace to the point that we were calling AHS with complaints. I even called my town sheriff over where I live to complain about this person. She said there was nothing they could do because we should have called and found out if the company the guy was registered with the town. That company never registered. Finally, we put our foot down and insisted that AHS use somebody else that was not in their system. The company that came was Seamer HVAC and they're highly respected in our community. I knew Seamer was a great HVAC company but I was initially told by AHS that I could only call whoever was on our sheet of accepted people.
AHS should up getting a better quality of people. In the end I got Seamer and they gave AHS a report and said that the first company put a certain piping all wrong in our installation. It was just a pitiful job. We still have that same furnace and I am so squeamish about that. I was told AHS still uses the first company even though I gave them a bad review.
We dropped AHS for a couple of years then we went back. So far, the insurance has been good. But I am on edge when I had the fan and the light go out. AHS sent somebody out to work on my light. They were polite and nice. When I was confirming our appointment for our fan, I told the rep that I had Casablanca fans and there was a need to have somebody with experience. Casablanca was bought by Hunter Fan Company and when you want to get something fixed, you have to take off some sort of part at the top of the fan to read the engraved serial number. That's how you can order parts. Otherwise, you cannot order parts.
The first man that came could not take off the part and could not find it so he was frustrated by it. In the meantime, he dropped part of the light fixture and it exploded on the floor. He did a few things like that then he was gonna leave it. I asked if he was not gonna sweep it up and he said that was for the homeowner to do. I called and mentioned what happened. The company apologized and said they were gonna send out a senior technician. Supposedly, he has worked on Casablanca fans.
The senior technician could not find the part and said “We recommend there's nothing we can do for the fan. It's just broken and you just need to get another brand. And we're gonna get you $99 to purchase Casablanca fans.” I already paid a $100 service charge and they were willing to take my fans. That was a hustle. They could repair the fan and can probably sell it for $500 or $600.
I mentioned to AHS that the first two men that came out didn't know what they were doing. I asked them to send somebody and the rep was on it. He was a senior representative named Carlos. He oversaw the case and he was right on top of things. He even called to say, “It's been a few days or almost a week and we haven't heard from you.” That was because once the fan was taken down the fan, the tech found the number then had to order something. He was gracious and nice and kept reassuring me that he would help us. Carlos was just tremendous.
AHS sent Cruz Electric and Handy Service and their guy got me taken care of. But that was another week or two down the road. Cruz worked on Casablanca fans for years and their tech knew that they had been sold to Hunter Company. I still have to track this back. I haven't resolved this one because I've had to have surgery in my eye twice and I have to go back to my canceled checks. I have been having a problem doing that. Whenever you put in your service request, you have to charge the $100 fee to your credit card, which I did. On a previous one that I'm still trying to work on, I immediately charged that $100 fee. I was told I had to pay it again and I did. But I found out that wasn't necessary.
What happened this time was one company was sent out but they didn't work out. That was not my fault that they didn't get that fixed. They didn't know how to do it. But they started charging me again. This happened before. I started to go after AHS for my $100 and they told me they returned it to my bank. I checked and they did not return the money to my bank.
This time, it happened again and AHS started sending me a text telling me that I owed the $100 and that I never paid it. I was right on top of that because that was the ploy they used before. I just assumed they know and that they are tracking this. I owed the $100 and I submitted another $100. I found out later they were wrong. They tried to do it again. This time, they sent me two or three emails telling me I owed the extra $100 when I didn't. Carlos was taking care of me and I told him how AHS keep telling me that I owe $100. He checked and said I don't owe that. AHS then upped the pressure and they sent me something telling me I was in arrears. They finally sent me a letter and they told me I owed the $100. It sounded like I'm like a deadbeat and that I wasn't paying that $100.
I mentioned this to Carlos again and he said, “I don't understand. I’d taken it off through your account. They shouldn't be bothering you at all. Because that was from the same job.” AHS put some pressure on me and I sent Carlos an email saying AHS had not given up. He called me just to double check. He said he was going to make a concession. They sent me a letter. All through that paper, it said that I owed them and that I need to pay.
I called to speak with them myself and they said, “I don't understand why you think this is an invoice.” I said, “Because you have the words that I need to pay you and I need to pay you now and invoice.” They said, “Oh, no. We're giving you concessions.” I said, “Why did you have to even send this letter then, if you're saying a concession?” And I didn't understand the meaning of that word. Concession. It's hard to understand the letter and the word when they were basically telling me I still owed them $100. I'm 80 years old. Anybody that would have gotten that letter and those emails would all think that $100 is owed.
Another claim I had with AHS was for a built in microwave and it's probably 12 or 15 years old. It's one of these large ones that sits on the counter. It went out so I called AHS to say it suddenly had stopped working. They said, “Well, it's a built-in.” I said, "But you knew that. Several years ago, when I started paying for this, I clearly said that, just like we have a built-in refrigerator in the kitchen.” I was upset because the rep said if it's on the counter, then they were not covering it.That didn't make sense to me since I've been paying extra. They treated me like I bought a piece of junk and put it on the countertop
There was one other thing. AHS sent something saying I should be getting one month free when I renew. I didn't get that. I called their attention to that and they said they would fix it but they never did. In October, I'm going to be paying for a renewal. I'm disappointed. I shouldn't have to have all this contact back and forth. It's not that complicated. AHS should be able to look at their file on me and say, "We didn't give her that free month. She has been paying for years.”

AHS has had some really terrible companies service us. We've had to call and call but they never returned our calls. They also don't give an update. I was willing to even drive to them and I knocked on their door but nobody was working there. It was terrible. But lately, the ones they have been sending have been a lot more professional.
Our clothes machine went out and AHS gave us money towards another machine. We purchased one and put the difference in. AHS said we had to have a professional plumber install it so we had them come. We also needed them to write us a ticket that we can prove to American Home Shield. The plumbers were like, “What? We don't do that.” It was such a big deal and AHS said they wouldn't cover the washing machine unless we did all that.
A big problem too has been the company for the pool. They have come and fixed the pool heater numerous times. Each time, it's $75. One guy admitted that it's probably time to get a new one, but that he didn't want it to fall on them because they would take a loss or something. So he kept trying to fix it halfway. The last time they changed something and it seemed to work longer but now it's really making noise.
Other than that, AHS has come in handy because my husband's just not that handy in fixing things. I just wish I wouldn't have to deal with all the bad companies they've sent.

My recent AC claim to American Home Shield seemed to be acceptable. The air conditioner was checked out. The problem at hand was the AC was never shutting off. So, the representative checked everything and couldn't really establish what was wrong. He said that because it was so hot, the thermostat would run constantly if we had it turned down to 70. I felt confident that he did everything he could to correct any problems. He didn't find anything wrong and told us to call them back if there was something else happening. So far, I've been watching the thermostat and it's staying in temp.
We've had AHS for several years. It's more of a security that you're gonna have somebody come out and check things. The only thing that I don't like is sometimes they can't get out immediately, especially if it's like 110 degrees out and you've got to wait for an appointment. The latest time, somebody came out within two days. One time, we had to buy a window air conditioner because I had children here. I had a brand-new baby here. So, they had to stay in the bedroom with the window air conditioner, but the rest of the house was hot until somebody could get out here and fix the air conditioner. I realized that AHS only had so many techs and so many companies, and if they can't get a company out quicker than that, then they need to have more vendors that can fulfill the client's needs.

I hate Home Shield. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't have renewed it. Initially, I wanted to do a one-time payment for the whole year. But the sales lady put me on a monthly thing. I forgot to cancel it and it re-up a renewal automatically because they have my credit card. Home Shield has not covered everything that I've called for so far, except for the garbage disposal that I called about a few weeks ago. I had a very nice garbage disposal and they replaced it with junk. It was my understanding that Home Shield always replaces stuff with like product. I've never even heard of the brand that they put in. My sink fills up every time I turn the water on to wash dishes because the flange that they put in with the garbage disposal doesn't drain properly. It's awful and I'm sick of it.
I'm not happy with my home warranty at all. A lot of times, Home Shield would send out a repairman and they wouldn't know what they were doing. One of the contractors I had was Sears. I would have to call and find out if the home warranty would cover something and they wouldn't. I finally told Home Shield to stop sending Sears because they never want to do work. I insisted that they send someone else out.
When I had a plumbing issue, the guy that came for it told me it was because the outside drain was blocked and Home Shield does not cover that. It was gonna cost about $500 to fix it. I told him he just needed to snake the drain but he wouldn't do it. I hired my own plumber and he snaked the drain. Everything worked until we moved.
Home Shield would send out crappy people but if I put up enough of a fight, they would always say, “We'll send someone else out for a second opinion. But you have to pay for it if they say the same thing.” The second person always diagnoses things differently. That's one of the reasons why I just want to quit the home warranty. The other thing is I can never understand the customer reps. Sometimes they have such a heavy accent and sometimes they don't understand what I'm trying to tell them. They're not US-based. There are communication issues and it’s frustrating.

I'm very happy with American Home Shield. I can turn in a warranty to one place and they find somebody to come and fix it. We have had problems before with things taking too long but they resolved that really quickly. I did a claim when our ice maker was not working. Service people came out in a very timely manner and they were very good. They had to order a part and it didn't take long to get here. They came back out and got the ice maker fixed a lot quicker than I thought they would. Now, the ice maker is working perfectly. I'll keep American Home Shield and recommend them to other people.

There were different wiring problems throughout the home. I sent in the claim online and I love it. It's convenient. Sometimes, I cannot wait for someone to answer the phone and American Home Shield does it very quickly and it's done. The tech was there on time and he completed the work. He was very professional. He asked before he could go into each room. I couldn't ask for a better company. I love them. Everything's been taken care of.

Every time the technicians were here, they were wonderful. They just called and told me they would be back on Thursday. They would have come today but I have to go see my mother and I couldn’t be there. With American Home Shield, I've had nothing but good things happen. I've referred them too.

The air conditioning stopped working and the capacitor needed to be replaced. American Home Shield took care of it. Within two days, it was done. So far, so good. American Home Shield gives me peace of mind that I don't have to go out and find a contractor. It makes the process simple.

American Home Shield has been pretty prompt so far. We’ve had about three issues. We had to have the pool pump replaced. They did that but it didn't cover the housing so we had to buy the housing, but it still helped. I'm pretty pleased with it so far.

AHS is hiring these companies that can't fulfill whatever is the requirements are for AC orders. They don't have sufficient staff or contractors to cover the demand which is happening with this heat. Then, the internal process to do the claim is filled with gaps and unnecessary steps. I have never experienced anything like this. When the techs came out, they said it was the evaporation coil then that company that did the review sent me a bill. They said it was about $1,100, then they sent a corrected version which said it was $2,860. I had an issue with that. When I asked why they were charging me so much more, they said they undercut the price of the Freon and that I needed more Freon for that problem.
When I spoke with another one of the representatives from AHS regarding that unit, I told him that I thought it needed to be replaced since I was paying $3,000. So, she said I got to get a second opinion and that was what I said I wanted. But that took a while. When the second guy came, he said that that was the problem and I wanted him to do the work. I found him to be a little bit more refreshing and reassuring than the first company because they gave me one bill and it turned out to be another where there was an increase in the price. When the second guy came out, I notified American Home Shield what the problem was and that it was what the initial person said. Then American Home Shield said that we couldn't use the company who gave the second opinion, we had to go with the first people who said that that was what the initial problem was.
Then, when I called the company, they said they canceled the work order because I said I wasn't going to pay the $2,860. But that was not what I said. I told them that I needed a second opinion because I thought they were overcharging me. I had to recontact American Home Shield to get another work order and that would take a couple of days to do and American Home Shield had to agree to issue another work order for them to determine when they could send a contractor out to complete the job. All of that took a while. When the techs finally got the work order, they told me it was going to be about eight days before they could have somebody come out and look at the unit. That was an extensive delay in processing that second work order, which was unnecessary when you already approved the first order for the same problem.
When the techs came out on Thursday, they repaired the unit and AHS paid $400 for that evaporated coil while I paid the bill that the techs gave me after the repair. But the unit stopped working on Saturday. I called them that day and they told me that I had to contact American Home Shield again. I contacted American Home Shield and they told me I had to do another work order which would cost me $100. But I was not going to pay another dollar to have somebody go back out and finish the work that we were paying for $2,860 for. I told them that I needed to speak with the supervisor and when he came back to me, he said that they'd do a recall where I didn't have to pay. At this point, AHS was also supposed to reimburse me for that $100 that I spent on that second contractor to go out and look because of the built-in delays in getting work done and I still haven't gotten that $100. But they wanted me to pay another 100.
The supervisor then said that they'd have the best company go back out. But because this was on a Saturday, when he called over there, they were closed. So I got to wait through the weekend to get any work done. Then, I called the contractor and they said they'd have a technician come out on the next day, between 1:00 and 5:00. I'm so disgusted with these people. I paid $3,000 and the unit's still not working. I also asked them for a breakdown of the bill that I paid them, which itemized what I paid for, and I still have not gotten the itemized list and the cost for what I paid for.
I have four properties with American Home Shield and aside from this AC claim, I got another one pending with a family property in Mississippi today. My sister called and said that the techs were asking for some more money for the units there. I am just too outdone. AHS doesn't pay for anything. I also dislike the process that they have for everything. It takes too long to get anything done. They claim they have to order things and that takes days. And especially if it's an AC unit, why don't they have evaporation coils available when they know that that's going to be a problem. And this Freon cost. Somebody told me that it would be about the same price to replace the unit. It didn't make sense. I'm seriously considering dumping American Home Shield after this work is done. They are being sued anyway for misrepresentation of their services and I need to be in on the lawsuit, because they have definitely done that with me.

I had a gas leak where the connection for the gas dryer was not installed properly. It was the actual line to the dryer and not the lie from the valve to the unit. So, the techs had to go down in the basement and fix that and they did a good job. We also had an issue where the drain in the basement was stopped up. The condenser from the air conditioning unit had been piped to go down to that drain. There was evidently a blockage somewhere under the basement foundation. So, we had to file a report to American Home Shield and the contractor came out and fixed that. So, they were good. The contractors came out when we needed them and responded very quickly.

We called in our claim and the rep was very courteous. We are 86 years old so we don't do the online stuff, and he was very patient and very good with us. We specifically requested Nate's Appliance Repair because the tech was here previously and he was kind and courteous. He explained everything and tried not to make bigger stuff out of it, but explained the why, and easily fixed the dishwasher issue. They picked a nice representative there.

At one house, the air conditioner was not working right. At another house, the stove was not working right. They fixed the stove. But they gave me some ** answers regarding the AC claim. They said that it was an old unit. They serviced it and said that it was working fine. In the past service, I had Home Depot come out, service it and test it. They recommended for three things to be replaced. That was when I called American Home Shield. Their contractor tested everything. They said everything was within standard. I don't know if Home Depot was trying to hustle me to buy products or American Home Shield was being cheap and saying, “That's good enough," and wait until it completely breaks. But I’ve had claims in the past, and they've always been good. It's worth it, overall.

Whenever I've called AHS, everything's been fixed pretty quickly. I have been very pleased with them so far. The refrigerator is the only thing that has been delayed. I had a water leak in the refrigerator and it cut off a couple of times. The techs fixed it. But I noticed the other day that the water had started coming down again. The tech came yesterday and looked at the compressor. He said that they could do stuff on that but that was beyond what he was equipped to do. Also, has never worked on anything that has a drain pan so it was something he wasn't familiar enough with.

The service of AHS has been good. However, for this last plumbing problem that I have, they weren't able to find a contractor. I'm still waiting on that. I saw an email come in today about some offer to take the money and find someone on my own. But right now, it's just crazy busy. My husband just got out of the hospital, so I haven’t been able to answer any emails. But we've had AHS for a long time and we're satisfied with it.

I put in an online claim for my AC and American Home Shield said they were sending someone out. The tech that came was in my house before. He put a thing in there to keep the unit cooling but he didn’t explain things to me. My unit is working now but my electric bill went sky-high. My AC is just really old and it needs to be replaced. On the whole, both the companies who came out for my claims with American Home Shield were courteous and I really liked them.

We had a bit of water at the bottom of my dishwasher. The tech realized he needed a new drain hose. He also noticed that the electric board panel needed to be replaced. So, he filled out the invoice and told us that we'd hear back from him in 10 days. We never heard back from him and that went on and on. I called and left messages but he would not return my calls. He really lacks in customer relations.
I ended up calling out to AHS complaining and asking for a different person to come 'cause that tech was not doing the job. He didn't see any importance in it. Finally, he came out but I would have preferred to have somebody who is going to be prompt and who is going to answer my calls and return. He could have been nice to say, "Ma'am, this is on backorder. It's gonna be a while." but he never even called to tell me any of that. That has pissed me off.

My dishwasher broke so I made the claim. A repair guy came out and said he couldn't fix the dishwasher because it was too old. It would have to be replaced.

When one of the buttons on the dishwasher control panel no longer worked, a contractor got here within a week which was sufficient. At some point, it was weird because when I did the evaluation on the phone with an AHS representative before it got to the technician, they have this virtual diagnostic tool. It was awesome but I felt there was gap. The first time the technician came out, he pushed a few buttons, looked at the serial number and said, "Yup. It's broken.” I told him, "The virtual diagnostic showed everything you just did." He had to go order a part and it was another week before he could get back and fix it. I was disappointed in that. The virtual diagnostic wasn't leveraged more.
I've had a few claims with AHS. The first claim was my garage door spring blew. When AHS sent the technician out, the technician said, "You broke one of your springs and they're connected. You should probably replace the other one.” He was the expert and he was telling me to replace them. But American Home Shield wouldn't cover the second one because it was not broken. The technicians don't get paid well enough from AHS so they have to try to add revenue.
Then the same thing happened. I was angry when my hot water heater blew. The technician came out and all he would have to do was cut the pipes to replace the water heater then reattach. But it was this huge bill of $1,300 that wasn't covered by AHS because it was a modification. They were tearing out one appliance and putting in a new one. But they didn't tear out a wall. They just took out the pipes. I told them I was not going to pay $1,300 for it to get it fixed. They said I could always take the cash out offer. The cash out offer was 600 bucks. This was six months ago when everything cost as much as the Taj Mahal. There was no way they would have been able to find a gas powered like for like replacement for 600 bucks. I don't care what buying power they say they have. They lied. I was annoyed that I ended up having to pay excessive out of pocket. But at least, I chose my vendor and my appliance and I just took the 600 bucks and cut my losses.
