My air conditioning was making a bunch of racket and I thought it was getting ready to break. The noise was so loud. I called American Home Shield and they gave me one company and but that company refused. They said they couldn't get to me for four weeks and I didn't feel that was satisfactory. I called back to American Home Shield, told them my issue and that the contractor refused to give me a sooner date. American Home Shield indicated they would contact them but they didn't get any response on them also. So, we canceled that order, then AHS set me up with Seabolt and they got right to me. Their techs said that it wasn't the problem that my neighbors indicated. It was just a loose bolt and they handled it. The AC has been working great since then.
Thanks for sharing your AHS experience. Please let us know if you need assistance in regards to your warranty.

Service is fairly okay. I try to get the same contractor that has come out and fixed before but AHS switches a lot of contractors. But I keep the service 'cause it's affordable and they got better when they have come out. I also keep the warranty because of my air conditioning unit which is one of the most important things 'cause we live in Phoenix Arizona.
I like their contractor Sub Zero. The tech showed me that my AC was leaking oil. It had been worked on 90 days before he came and he found the issue would have been recurring. He did a good job. Ever since he changed the capacitor, the AC blows colder. Overall, the warranty is serving its purpose.
We really appreciate you taking time to share your warranty experience. We look forward to handling your future AHS needs. Have an amazing week.

Joe's Mechanical is excellent. But I've been trying to get my air conditioner done for a month and a half. It should not take that long. That is unacceptable. I'm 60 years old. I have a CPAP machine. I don't understand why it would take so long for American Home Shield to give an approval. Joe's Mechanical took my unit apart, was able to look at it and tell me that the wires were burnt. They even looked at my heater and said things were wrong with that. But American Home Shield sent out the Three Kings. They are scam artists. American Home Shield needs to fire them. They tried to get $450 from me to put freon in.
I have a premium contract with American Home Shield so they shouldn't even try to attempt to tell me to pay anything. But if I would have given them that 400 and something dollars, they would have took it and ran. Plus, they released the doggone freon out of my air conditioning system. When I went back later on that night, I had nothing in there. If they tried to do me like that, they did somebody else like that. The only reason I know is there was a guy that American Home Shield sent out a couple of months prior to that and he said my unit was fine. Then when they came out, I don't know if they blew that wire but they didn't even hook the stuff back up.
American Home Shield tried to send out R&L, but they never answered. They never called them. They never called me. They never did anything. American Home Shield will lie to you and say, "We're gonna call you back." They never called back. They're liars. They're scam artists too. It'll be a different thing if I paid them monthly. But I paid them the whole year and I still got treated like crap. When I asked for my money back, they told me they would give me a third of my money.
I certainly hate to hear that you have received less than satisfactory service & I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Have a great week.

I had several problems with my refrigerator, so I contacted American Home Shield and submitted a request for repair. They immediately took my deductible and scheduled my appointment for repair. The tech that came out was very professional, and polite, and punctual. Everything is fine now. I've had American Home Shield for more than five years. I like having the assurance that if something goes wrong in my house, I have a trusted partner who will get somebody reputable out to my home for the repairs.

We had a leak. I spoke with someone from American Home Shield and she was very professional. She understood everything I said and they expedited everything as quickly as they could. A tech that came had to find the leak and repair it. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The leak was fixed but he informed me that someone may have to come back because the water was still coming in slow. They had to replace some of the pipes because they may be clogged. I had to put that off and told the tech, "We will call you all back and let you know that he could come back out." If he's gonna be the same person, that'd be great because he already knows what's going on and how to fix the problem that's still going on.

There was a leak underneath the sink in the first-floor bathroom. The techs weren't able to come for at least two days. So we waited. The tech let me know he was on his way and he fixed the problem. With AHS, I like the assurance that if something major happens, I know who to call. It's not like I have to go research and get a first opinion, second opinion or third opinion from someone to resolve my issue. Sometimes, it's not as quick as I want it to be but the problem eventually gets resolved.

The claim for the electrical issue was wonderful. For the first time ever, everything in my box flipped off and we had a brownout. I wanted to make sure that whatever surge came through didn't do any damage. American Home Shield expedited it and a guy came out, looked at it and said that we were good. However, I don't know what happened with the ice maker. I got charged for a service that didn't happen and I never got my refund back. I had canceled it with the provider, and they were supposed to correct that, but that never got resolved.
I put the request in on June 21st and it just got fixed yesterday. I waited almost a month before I had a service done because the contractor closed out my case and didn't finish the job. I was calling back and forth and I had to call three times in a row and speak to three different people before it got resolved. The contractor said, "We started, but we accidentally closed your ticket out." Then I had to remind them of what they were supposed to do. They rescheduled to come out that next Wednesday. When they didn't come, I figured they didn't get the part. But they would have at least called me. Three weeks out, I was calling and they said the claim was closed. How could it be closed when they didn't fix anything?
I've been with American Home Shield for five years and I'm starting to have issues. I told them, "If you guys are gonna make me pay for a service that didn't happen, I might as well go ahead and cancel you. I can take whatever money I'm giving you go into savings for when somebody comes out." But I like the comfortability. I have an older home and when things happen, they happen in threes. It started with the plumbing, then the electrical then the ice maker. The reps try to be friendly. They're very attentive when they're on the phone. But what I truly dislike is if you say you're going to call me back, call me back, or at least email me because you have my email on file. But when I hear nothing and have to wait till the end of the day to follow back up with a person who said they're going to call me back and don't, I have a problem.

I like American Home Shield. They have been prompt. I had some issues with the cooktop that is finally being resolved. It was an issue of having vendors. I've been with American Home Shield for 15 years and this is the first time that's been this difficult. For a while, I wasn't getting communication. I would call in to find out what was happening. I had two different calls. One of American Home Shield's representatives hung up on me. Another one said they were going to do something but never got back to me. I knew that they were at a level where they probably couldn't do more. I was trying to find out who I needed to go to next because I was running into a wall. Once I was directed in the right way, everything from then on out was good. I'm very pleased with the resolution for the cooktop. It is being replaced.

I tried that new deal that AHS has where they send me a link and I show them what the damage is so they could forward it to the plumber. But it wasn't a plumbing problem. It was an HVAC problem. They transferred it back and that guy was excellent. He told me exactly what it was. He said, “But I can't be for sure. I'm a plumber, not an HVAC guy.” But he said he knew what the problem was. So they forwarded my claim to an HVAC guy. They came out and lickety-split, had it done. Explained to me the whole way, what was going on and why this happened. It was really nice and very informative. Spoke in layman's terms where I could understand what he was saying.

AHS offered to settle for a refund of $420.00 of the $1260.00 it cost me for the Hot Water Heater replacement and a $75 trip charge credit. I decided to accept the offer and close the issue. My faith in their company has not been restored. However, I appreciate the prompt and friendly response from their Social Media Representative, Chapiel ** who negotiated the refund and credit for AHS. She should be commended for her professionalism and patience.

I had a Home Warranty with AHS from 1995-2001 and they were wonderful to work with. When my dishwasher broke down and they couldn't repair it, they replaced it. When I needed any repairs on covered items, the trip charge was well worth it saving me a lot of frustration and money. Based on my previous experience there was no question I would use AHS on my next home. Today's AHS is nothing in comparison to then. It's now a HUGE SCAM! They advertise that they cover items 100% under "normal wear and tear" Yet, I've ended up having to replace a Furnace, a Garbage Disposal Unit, and now a Hot Water Heater costing me $$$thousands. All of these items were older yes, but in great working condition until they couldn't be repaired anymore.
I paid numerous $75 trip charges for repairs that didn't last then had to purchase the new units at full price. The reason they declined to cover was "normal wear and tear"! It literally contradicts exactly what they say they cover in your contract word for word. BUYER BEWARE. If you choose this company go directly to your bathroom and start flushing $75 plus your contract amount down the drain. They do not care about anything but scamming you out of your hard earned money. I've been had so please heed my warning.

I opened a claim for my refrigerator and freezer that was not cooling at all on May 23, 2022. AHS sent out a company that came out on two different occasions saying they cannot fix. Then sent out another company with 3 different technicians who would come to my home on 6 different occasions to replace parts and fix my refrigerator - one working on it until 1:30am the next morning. My freezer is now working but the refrigerator still is not cooling properly. They then sent another company to diagnose the problem and he said he cannot fix it. It has been over NINE weeks without a refrigerator and a family feed and they are still trying to send another company. I have tried to speak to supervisor or escalations department but no one calls back. I don't understand how they can be so heartless and not care about people living without a major appliance such as refrigerator. When will enough be enough?

I signed up with this company after reading the positive reviews, there was no "home inspection required" and you didn't have a waiting period for service calls. I had the policy for about a month (first discrepancy) and filed a claim for a water valve leak (from my hot water knob in the shower). After I paid the required $75 service fee call, AHS assigned a technician to come out. The company they assigned A Water Solutions contacted me to schedule an appointment and we waited for a technician. When the tech came out, he was NOT friendly nor interactive. We showed him the source of our problem and expected him to provide a written diagnosis within a few days. We did not receive that and life happened.
Eventually, I called into the AHS to find out what our options were. The AHS rep said they don't cover pipes (which was the source of our issue according to the tech). I explained to her that was NOT what precipitated our problem and that it was a leaky valve stemming from the hot water. She indicated that was NOT what she had in her system and that because it was a pipe issue, it would not be covered. I asked her to explain to me where that was/is in the contract and she could not find it and said she would call me back after she consulted with her supervisor. I provided her with a good phone number to call me back and I did NOT receive a call back.
I called back today only to receive the runaround on what AHS could not do. Let's be honest. If your a company with resources, you ARE capable of making things happen. The new representative from AHS was not listening to my questions and sounded like a robot every time I asked a question. She told me that the previous technician said that our issue was NOT "normal wear and tear" and they would not cover our issue because it was preexisting. I explained to her that didn't make any sense since we purchased the home used and it was NOT a new build. I asked her to explain to me that since we have an older home would they cover anything else that breaks down since it's all considered "pre-existing" and she told me no.
I told her with that, we need to cancel our contract and discontinue this police effective immediately. She said she needed to place me on hold and get a hold of a different department to do that. I was placed on hold for over an hour with no resolution. I would NOT recommend this company unless you have a new build and our thoroughly read and understand the contract in its entirety.

I had problems with my air conditioning system, the technician arrived and after reviewing everything, he explained that he would change the compressor but that I had to pay $845.00 out of pocket.
Description
3.5 Ton Compressor Scroll $0.00Zp42
Refrigerant 407c $800.00
Up to 10lbs
Locking Caps $145.00
Subtotal $945.00
Discount $100.00
Total $845.00
And then I checked the equipment that was going to be installed, it is on Amazon, new for $1,050, so, I called the technician to ask for: the brand, the model and if the compressor will be a NEW ONE, and he sent me this: "American Home Shield orders the compressor, it's a re-manufactured scroll. Arrco is company they order from."
So as you will see American Home Shield uses rebuilt parts without any factory warranty, this is terrible, and also they are charging you for the whole work because that rebuilt part is not worth more than $400.00 and they are charging $850.00. And also the discount that you see there is not from the company that will do the repair! It is a $10.00 discount that AHS gives for every 10 pounds of refrigerant that is used.
From: CONTRACT AGREEMENT14. Certain other Covered Item dollar limits:
a. As part of any other applicable Covered Item dollar limit, AHS will pay up to ten dollars ($10) per pound for refrigerant installed in a
Covered Item.
One more, as you can see above, they charge $800.00 for 10 pounds of refrigerant that is not even going to be fully used! I will cancel my subscription, don't waste your money! P.D. I sincerely apologize for the redaction, but English is not my primary language.

Our AC unit was acting up and we put a request in. The gentleman came out and heard the noise but said that there was nothing we could do until it completely goes out. Two weeks later, it went out. We put another request and it was another $75. The guy refused to answer the phone and I had American Shield call. They said they were going to expedite my claim but nobody called me back. We ended up having to pay out of pocket $500 for a fan motor. It was an all-day affair and really frustrating. But that was the only bad experience I've ever had with a contractor that AHS sent out.

The plumber that came out did an excellent job. The issue was something so simple. Whoever did the bathroom, when they put the shower head on, before they twist the shower head back on, they should have put epoxy inside of the ridges so when they turn the shower head back on, it would fill it. It was the same thing for the spigot in the bathtub. It was not sealed, so whenever we would pull the handle up to turn the shower on, the water was shooting back through the wall and coming down on the side of the tub. Once the plumber came in and put that on, I asked, "How long do we have to wait?" He looked at me like, "Wait? What?" He turned the water on, and it was flowing everywhere it was supposed to. That was great, and I was very impressed.
On the other hand, the key change with Pop-A-Lock didn't go as smooth as it could have. We had a 10 o'clock appointment, and the young man texted at 10 o'clock saying that he would be there at 10:30. At 10:30, he texted and said his GPS said he was 20 minutes away. Normally, people give a reason, but when he got there, he didn't even give a reason. He was also in a rush, and the lock on one of my doors did not get changed. Right now, we're dealing with the refrigerator and everything is going good. The young lady that I spoke to yesterday was excellent with helping. The order had not gone in seeing that the refrigerator needed to be replaced, but she made a phone call, had me on hold, then came back and said, "I got what I need. We're gonna go ahead and send out the email so you can go ahead and choose your refrigerator." Thus far, American Home Shield's service has been great.

It took 10 days which was too long but a new refrigerator was gonna cost me $2,000. Recently, the faucet was shooting water out of the handle. The techs fixed that and it was really quick.

Submitting a claim to American Home Shield can be easy. It can be done online, which is pretty straightforward. But the ability to speak to someone is the problem. Their call service is a program that’s open 24 hours a day, which is great. The biggest issue is there is not a direct line. Anytime something's wrong, you have to call and wait on hold. Sometimes I've been on hold 45 minutes and I've been on hold as long as an hour and a half. The greatest frustration is that you do not get someone whose primary language is English. So there's a language barrier.
Sometimes I've had some representatives that it was not their first language, but they were easy to understand and they were good. Then there were some that you could clearly tell that they were reading from a script. So you could get very frustrated very fast and say, “Please stop reading from the script.” Or I’d ask to speak with their supervisor. But they would immediately go to the script because it’s scripted. So it’s hard to communicate.
Usually, when I need to get something done, I have to call and speak to quality control or retention services at American Home Shield. A lot of times, I’ve had appliances break down and they come in and fix it. But I’ve also had appliance break down and they come in and say, “Oh, well, there’s been an update to that under the protocol or new builder’s thing, and now, this is required.” So I’ve had to pay $300 out of pocket on top of the service fee, yet they still fixed one part of it. In some ways, it can be misleading.
Earlier this year, I had an issue with a refrigerator in my rental property. I went online and placed the servicing that evening. Within an hour, I had a vendor who I reached out to. The vendor set up the time and then they went by and fixed the issue. I paid $100 for that service trade agreement. But for what we had, it was more all-encompassing, so it was $100. Now, the flip side of that is I don’t know if what the person came and did cost $100 or $35.
When my dishwasher was broken in my rental property, the call was placed on January 6th and the contractor came out. They allegedly fixed it. But the next day, it still wasn’t working. They had to come back out and tried something else. It still wasn’t working. It wasn’t until the end of March before that dishwasher was replaced. So that was frustrating because that was for my renter. If that would have been in my home, would I have allowed it to go? It wasn’t life-altering, but it was definitely an inconvenience. Since it wasn't life-altering, American Home Shield kept giving the runaround. It’s not always straightforward.
American Home Shield has saved me. They paid for the hot water heater. But I also had to pay out of pocket for them to do an update that was required because it wasn’t up to code based on when the hot water heater was entered when the house was built. So you think you’re gonna be okay but then you’re not, and that’s frustrating. It's that fine print.
My greatest dissatisfaction with American Home Shield is that there’s not an email. I had emailed them before, and I’ve never received a response. Even if you click chat, it doesn’t go to chat. If you click on the website that says, “Contact Us”, there should be multiple ways but the only option is a phone number. So you call and wait on hold. If I’ve ever want to get anything done, I don’t call to ask about a repair, but I call to speak to a new plan. Then I get somebody who answers the phone on the new plan side. Those are very quick to answer because they’re wanting more business. From there, I say, "I need to speak to somebody in the retention service, and quality control.” But that’s wrong. You shouldn’t have to do it. There should be an email support.
Most recently, I got an email notice that I had a payment that was outstanding due, which didn’t make sense because my payments are automated monthly for the service, and then any time there’s a trade service call, that’s an automatic deduction. It comes right out of the account you set up for them to dispatch a vendor to go out and do the call. When I looked at the email that they sent, it said, “Pay it online.” But I couldn’t get any other information except to call. So I had to call and wait on hold. The young lady who answered was in the Philippines. She spoke very well. She was able to communicate. There wasn’t much of a language barrier. But I laughed because the whole time, you hear these chickens cackling in the back.
We are getting ready to sell the rental property that we have and I’m trying to figure out, “If I renew it, am I on the hook? If I cancel a month later, am I on the hook for the whole year? Or how does that work?” But I can’t get anybody to answer. So I’m really torn because I don’t want to cancel it before I sell the house because Murphy’s Law. Everything’s gonna break the minute I cancel it. But I recently thought about looking at other home warranty companies because American Home Shield's prices have jumped so much. For the first three yeats, it was $50 on each house per month. But now, the house that I have in Colorado is up to $61 a month.

We have had situations with plumbing, including sewage backing up that American Home Shield didn't consider to be an emergency, but I did. We ended up paying for it ourselves because it was on a weekend, but they would not escalate it to an emergency call. I didn't like that very much. On the other hand, a recent repair for a refrigerator leak went well. AHS had a bit of a backorder on a part, but it was less than two weeks. And they repaired it.

When I first started with AHS 20 years ago, they did not have the best repairpeople. Now, they have really fine repairpeople. The standard has gone up which is great. My service has been fine. If you go through all of the steps that they put in place for you to have whatever repaired or replaced, they will see to it that it will be fixed like new or they'll replace it. They've done things that a lot of warranty companies would not do. I've been extremely pleased with them. The only complaint I have is sometimes, what we might consider an emergency, they don't really look at as an emergency, and it might be two weeks before somebody comes to fix the issue.
However, I have an issue with the $100 co-pay that I paid on a different credit card and AHS says I haven't paid them even though I sent proof. I'm not really happy with that and I have a dispute open.

The bottom cabinet next to the dishwasher had all these Walmart sacks that I was hanging on to. When I went to clear it out, I noticed the mold and the saturation in the bottom of that cabinet. So that was when I kicked off the phone call to American Home Shield and all was great. They got me in the books. The contractor came by and after they took pictures of under my house, the tech and the American Home Shield person had a long conversation together and then they told me that they were not gonna cover anything. Also, I requested for the contractor to forward the pictures to me but they still haven't.
It was very frustrating because they put it in a category of a modification and not a repair. They told me that the reason why they're wanting to classify it as a modification is that they're using this different piping solution called Apex. I have corroded galvanized steel that needs to be yanked out, and they're gonna put Apex in. It is supposed to expand five times its size and then go back to its normal size so there are not too many issues in the future with it.

There was a leak that was coming from my toilet dripping into my garage. I caught it a few days prior and the contractor was out here within two days of me putting the request in to American Home Shield, which was awesome. The repair guys were a little bit late for the appointment but the company had called me ahead of time. When they got here, they apologized for being a little bit late and were nice to talk to. They were quick, efficient, friendly and professional. They moved fast and fixed the issue within 15 minutes max.
I thoroughly enjoy American Home Shield, especially being as the house I purchased is a little bit older. So, I knew going into it that the appliances were going to need maintenance. And I personally don't have the know-how for a lot of things, like HVAC. I’ve used American Home Shield since I got the house and everything I've had a problem with has been quickly repaired. The only time I’ve ever had an issue was with the HVAC. The technicians for that one thought they had fixed it but they ended up coming back out here within a week and a half to do another repair. I was out of AC for a month but American Home Shield didn't charge me anything extra for the numerous times coming out, which I appreciated, because it would have sucked having to pay for every single time they came out.
I had one issue earlier this year and I still haven't had it resolved. I put in a request for an AC tune-up and they never scheduled it, and then sent me a thing saying that they didn't have any technicians available. Then, I didn't hear anything back at all. But everything's going well. If I put in a request, I usually hear back within a short period of time. I've had zero problems with American Home Shield.

At the time that they wanted to come out, we weren't going to be available because we were on vacation. It had already reset when we split the circuit breaker. It was a computer issue. It wasn't telling him exactly what that issue was. He told us that should it occur again to call immediately so someone can come out.

The garbage disposal is broken and I have to follow up with that because the contractor said that the wiring was too short so they couldn't replace the garbage disposal. But I've gotten the wiring fixed and changed out. I haven't heard back from them. I had a claim for the stove and American Home Shield sent someone out. The claim was okay. When the washer was shot, they replaced it. But it took over a month for that to get delivered. The delivery department stood me up three times. When you call them, they're rude to you and leave you hanging all day. I took off work twice and was stood up. They need to get rid of their delivery service too. I got another one with the garbage disposal. I had to call and cancel that one because I've replaced that myself because I never heard from the contractor.
American Home Shield needs to improve on their follow-up. If there's an issue and you call them, they promise to call you back and they don't. I had one claim that it took five months for them to fix my refrigerator. I called them and I notated. Between American Home Shield and the technician, it was over 18 hours of calls during that time period, trying to get that issue resolved. I got six contracts with them. I recently ended one at renewal because I'm just tired of going back and forth with them. So each time I get this kind of renewal, I'm planning on canceling. I've been with American Home Shield for about 13 years. They were great on the first 12 years.

American's price keeps going up on me. But I can't complain about the service I get for any time that I've called them. When I called them about my refrigerator, within two days, someone was here.

When my microwave went out, the tech said, “It’s scorched, so you need another one.” The next day, I got an email from American Home Shield asking me what microwave I want. If I want a certain one, there would be no cost. If I want to upgrade, they gave me three different ones that ranged from $10 to $25. Two days later, that microwave was installed.
Recently, my unit wasn't heating like it was supposed to heat. Also, I could have it set on 73 but it would stay on 76 and sometimes go to 77. During the day, it would cool off to 75 but that's the best that it would do. But at night, the house was burning up. Getting through to them was easy.

The best part of having the policy is the financial predictability that if something happens, we know it's gonna cost $75 and there are not going to be nasty surprises. We've had a couple of different issues. We had a faucet replaced and Safe Cali Plumbing came out. We had a claim for the shower and Bear Plumbing worked on that. There was some leaking from the showerhead and they replaced a valve, which fixed the problem. The technicians that come are almost always good. We've never had somebody we felt was not competent.
AHS' claim process is usually easy. The only problem we had with the shower claim was we were first assigned to a company that said it was going to take them two weeks to come out. That was unusual for AHS. We called AHS back and asked if they could find someone who can do the work sooner. They referred us to a new company and we were able to get a technician in two days instead of two weeks. Another thing is it takes some time to get through to the call center occasionally. One time, it was 10 to 15 minutes on hold to get through. Again, that's fairly unusual.

I had a favorable experience with Home Shield. I used their service for my AC and the guy that came was really good. He was with Air Tech. He said the issue was with the part that supplies the power to the compressor. When that little part failed, the unit quit working. The disappointing thing that he told me at the end was that when he works with a customer and there happens to be another problem that he can also fix, American Home Shield assigns somebody else instead of assigning the same guy to do it. My thing is if the guy comes and I really liked him and he knows what he's doing, I would like for the same guy to come again.
The thing with Air Tech is there are a couple of guys that are principal owners of that business. I couldn't find out anything about them and this made me ask, “Who are these fly-by-night people that Home Shield has put me up with here?” There was a phone number so I called and the guy I spoke with said he didn't know why he got the claim because he was in Atlanta. I live close to Augusta, Georgia. The guy said he had a partner who lives in Thomson, which is 20 miles from here. He gave me his partner's number. I called him and he goes, “I see it on the work order. I'll see you Monday morning or Tuesday morning.” I had to go a roundabout way to find out who to call and when they were coming. But as far as the guy and his abilities and how he fixed the unit, all that was very favorable. I was extremely pleased with the technician that came here. He was top-notch.

I've had decent experiences with American Home Shield, but I had an issue with the request that I put in last week. I have a home that's on the market, and I had someone come and look at the dishwasher. When I put my request in, I just stated that the dishwasher wasn't working. The technician came out, identified that the water valve wasn't connected to the dishwasher, and turned that on. He gave me some suggestions on what should be done in the future to continue the life of the dishwasher. He also determined, because I just had granite countertops installed, that the brackets had not been reinstalled to connect the dishwasher to the countertop. He gave me the process for having that done.
When I got the report back, it only stated that the problem hasn't been fixed because of the bracket. I contacted the countertop company, and I've asked them to come back out and do that piece. Because that's something that they should have done when they installed them. So that's no longer the issue. My issue is that when my buyer sees the report, he needs to see that the water valve wasn't turned on, the technician turned it on, and the machine is working. That has nothing to do with the connectivity of the dishwasher and the countertop. I called the company three times last week, and I contacted American Home Shield a couple of times. I said, ”Listen, I just need it to say what he said and what he did. That's it.”
The only thing AHS keeps saying is, “Well, this is what they have. And this is what we're going with. And it's not covered.” I'm saying, “I don't need it to be covered. I just need everything that he did that day to be indicated on the report,” for the homebuyer. Nothing more, nothing else. “Hey, we can't fix the bracket. It’s not covered. But the technician noticed that the water valve wasn't turned on. He turned it on and the machine was operable.” I called American Home Shield and asked “Can you contact them? I've contacted them.” They said, “Well, the report stands on its own. There's nothing we can do. You can try to contact them if you like.” It was a very aggressive conversation.

Hill Water Works was great. They did a good job. We had a leak in our pipe. They had to come out because the company that American Home Shield had originally sent out fixed the first thing fine. The second thing they tried to fix made it worse though. Then they refused to come back out. AHS said that they disconnected their phone, and then they wouldn't take emails anymore, and they couldn't get ahold of them anymore.
Hill Water Works didn't want to fix it at first either because AHS was requiring them to pay for it out of their own pockets when we didn't even pay a service fee for them. So, we were like, “Someone needs to come out and fix it.” Hill Water Works was fine once they finally decided to eat the cost. They were telling us that if we pay for it that AHS might pay us back. Then if AHS didn't want to pay them, there's no way they are gonna pay us. We were like, “There's no way that's gonna happen.” They wanted to keep the contract with AHS, so they decided to do it out of their own pocket.
I originally called for the faucet itself. They said it was not the faucet. It was the pipe that the showerhead is connected to. So, they fixed that. I was like, “I called for the faucet and the faucet is still leaking.” So, they fixed the thing that wasn't necessarily what I called for. I'm glad that they did fix that, but I also want my faucet, which is the thing I called about. Also, they told us they would give us the money back from the original service call for all the problems and we never got that $75.
AHS really need to do some soul searching for their company. We decided to look up other companies and see what the ratings are, and AHS is one of the top three. They're losing ratings.

I had to go back through American Home Shield and reopen the ticket, which they closed without confirming that the washer was fixed. But it was easy to reopen and then there's a guy coming back out tomorrow. I'm overall liking the washer repair cycle.

Submitting a service request works better on the internet. When the hose for my air conditioner was clogged, someone contacted me right away and gave me an appointment. The tech came out, got it fixed and did a little extra with cleaning the unit out. He was excellent. He was professional and very informative as to how to keep my unit maintained. That was great.

Our recent claim with AHS went well. The tech came in but there wasn't really something wrong with the AC. It was just dirty. He showed me how to clean it, then he cleaned it for me, and then fixed it, and it was working. He also came when he said he was gonna come. He did a good job. I like having AHS. If anything is going wrong, I can just call them and schedule, and it's easy.

They were punctual, which was really awesome. Some of them weren't available sooner so they tried calling to say that they could stop by sooner. But, it all really worked out.

I did a plumbing claim recently and some of the options on their website weren't as direct as what I was dealing with. I had a bathroom faucet and a handle that weren't working right. The only option I could choose was faucet. But there was a handle that wasn't working primarily and the faucet had a different issue with it. When the plumber called, I needed to let him know what was happening so he can make sure he had what he needed when he got here. Other than that, it's very convenient to use.
Recently, the AC wasn't cooling right. Within 24 hours, I heard from the contractor. It was Johnny-on-the-spot. The tech figured out my issue and took care of it really quickly.

1st Choice Appliance Repair has been out for two different things. They always give me a timeframe of when they're coming and they call when the technician knows exactly what time he's gonna be here. I don't have to wait for the whole time frame they give because they call with enough time for me to get back home or get there to meet them. I really like that. They also answer my questions and explain what the problem is or what might have caused it and how to prevent things from happening again.
I'm very satisfied with AHS and I've used them in previous homes. It's $100 deductible, which is reasonable, because instead of me going through all the hassle, it costs me the same and if there's something else wrong, the repairman will know it and will be able to fix it. AHS covers major home systems as well as the appliances and between the premium and the things that I've had to have work on this year alone, it's been a good value.
I did have a claim where I had someone come out and it was for something that wasn't covered. I ended up paying the deductible anyway so I was a little frustrated with that because I felt like it should have been a little clearer in the information as to what was covered. But the person showed me where it was so it was kind of on me. The service is great but make sure you read, know what you're getting, and that you understand what the coverage is.

The people American Home Shield sends out do good sometimes but other times, they have sketchy people. I had one situation where I tried to get HVAC people to come out and it took them over a week to respond. Then, they wanted an all-day window to come out so I couldn't schedule around but then, they didn't show up. I called AHS and they said that they could see on the computer that the people were already there. The contractor reported that they were at my house doing the work but they were not. I told AHS that I don't want those people to come to my house because they're sketchy and it was a big pain to get them canceled. I'm not even sure if I ever got a refund on that.
Also, I had a claim for them to fix my plugs and the repair wasn't covered because I didn't have a certain type of plug-in cover. There's a lot of weird nuances that AHS does to nickel and dime the client. They look for any excuse they can to get out of providing the service. I'm keeping them now so I don't have to cough up 15 grand if my AC ever goes out. But as far as the service itself, most of the time, I'm better off just getting my own service because I can pick and choose a contractor.

The techs that came for my dishwasher were wonderful and they got it repaired. The sucker works like it's brand new. The tech was very nice. What really was nice was the secretary would call and tell me the part was ordered. They would tell me when it got there and when he would call when they set up a date for him to come in. I was included in everything. It was very nice.
I also had a washer and dryer break down on me and that got repaired right away. It went really well. Then I had my refrigerator stop dispensing ice. That was the only problem I ever had. The company came out and looked at it. They were gonna order the part. They set up a time and then he called and said, “I'll be there shortly to work on it.” I waited but he never showed up. I called the company. I said, “Did something happen?” They said they canceled. I asked, “You never called me?” Nothing happened. They canceled because they said it was two parts, not one part they were replacing. They never told me it was two parts and two pieces had to be replaced. I kept calling back. After a while, they never answered their phone.
I called AHS and they called them. They said, “The parts came in. Just wait for him to call.” I waited. Two months later, I called AHS back finally. They said, “They don't answer their phone.” I called AHS again three weeks ago. I said, “Can I set up with another company? ‘Cause look how long this has taken.” So, she set me up with another company. I had to pay my $75. I said, “Do I get my other 75 back?” But I didn't get an answer. She said that was too long ago. I would recommend AHS. There was just miscommunication with the refrigerator.

Our garbage disposal was broken. I placed the original call to have a plumber come out. The plumber was very nice but we couldn't get him for about five days. When the plumber came out, he said that since we didn't have a plug to put it in, they couldn't do anything until an electrician come out and put a plug in. So we were very annoyed at American Home Shield for scheduling him when he couldn't do the job. But the contractors were very good.
I had to call Home Shield back but then they said they didn't cover the plug. So we had to get an electrician on our own and pay for that ourselves to get the plug in. Another issue was that when I looked at my contract, it said that outlets were covered. So I had to make a few phone calls to Home Shield. Finally, I asked to speak to a supervisor and they said, "Even though it says it covers new outlets, the contract only covers what was existing in the home when you purchased the contract."
When the plug was put in, I called the plumber back and they said, "Well we can't come back out unless you call American Home Shield and ask for a recall." So I had to call American Home Shield again. But each time I called, I was on hold for a considerable amount of time and then, they said they had to wait to get a report from the electrician to make sure that everything was up to code.
When I called the plumber back, they said they had to call the electrician first to make sure that everything was up to code. I asked them, "Well, when can they come back out?" The rep said, "Well, we can't just send them out. You have to call Home Shield again to get a recall." I said, "Oh, my God, they said they would just come right back." She said, "Well, we can't come right back unless you make another recall request with American Home Shield." It was back and forth. It was a good three weeks before it was finally resolved. Also, we're not very happy with this price increase. We didn't get any warning about that. Otherwise, we wouldn't have renewed.

Recently, our compressor went out on our air conditioning system for two weeks and the part was covered under warranty. I called the people who put it in and the charge for them to install the part, which was coming from the manufacturer, was $2,200. Since it was that expensive, I turned the claim into American Home Shield. The contractor that they are affiliated with, Airtronics, came out and did an inspection. For the Freon, American Home Shield’s only paying $10 a pound and it's up to over $100 a pound so we paid the difference for that. Our deductible was 75. We paid about $800 instead of $2,200.

So far, every time I've had to call American Home Shield, the experience has been great. Best Care came out for a heating issue. I really wasn’t satisfied with them. The air conditioning was working, but the front of my house does not cool down. So, they came and looked at the ductwork, and that was what I requested them to do, which was to see what they could do to get the front part of the house cool. They were saying that I needed a modification done to my ductwork. American Home Shield didn't cover that. The house was that way when I bought it, and it’s still hot in the front part of the house.
Also, a day later when Best Care left, the whole air conditioning went out. So, I was without air from Saturday all the way to Tuesday. I really did not benefit from them coming out other than to tell me the work that I needed to be done will be $2,300 that I don't have. B&A HVAC came and they did an excellent job on getting the air back working. They came on out immediately. I called them Saturday night, and on Sunday, nobody was working.

I had a previous job to fix my washer and I paid the technician $100, but for some reason, he didn't pass on that money to American Home Shield. So when I had another job, they refused to even consider it. They said, “You haven't paid.” But I told them that I’d paid. The technician said he would send me the money and for me to pay it off so that I can get my AC that had broken down in the middle of the heatwave. The technician said he would send me the check, but he hasn't yet.
I finally got the AC fixed, thanks to the technician who came overnight and did that. But it was that struggle, trying to explain to American Home Shield's call center. They couldn't understand what I was trying to tell them. American Home Shield must have provided them some reading material they just kept repeating. The call center folks do not have a whole lot of authority other than parrot what the instructions are. It goes on and on for hours to get everything on the call. There was a minimum of 25 minutes on hold. American Home Shield needs to have some instructions to hold or some flexibility that I’m paying their monthly share of $50 and $600 a year for the past several years. Being rigid on this $100 unpaid fee, through no fault of mine, to hold a new urgent job, sounds very strange.

American Home Shield has been responsive. Whenever I needed something, they sent somebody. Sometimes, not in the best timely manner, but most of the time, they do good. Recently, the faucet on the kitchen sink broke and the garbage disposal would stop intermittently. The first plumber they sent was a young kid, and he didn't know anything. They had to send out a second plumber, Keilly's Plumbing, and they were real good. I used to just disconnect and reconnect the garbage disposal, and the last guy that came up showed me where the reset button is. The other thing is that, sometimes, the garbage disposal makes a grinding noise, but he said that, at this time, he couldn't do anything because he didn't see it.
The microwave was another ticket that I called for after that. Anytime I open the door, the fan would come on. There were a couple of little switches that needed to be taken out. I asked AHS for Coastal Appliances, because the first time they came out, they were really good, and Michael, the tech, was great. The second time, he came in and replaced the two switches. That way, if the other one came out, we wouldn't have to make a call. That's another one of American Home Shield's people that I would highly recommend. If AHS wants to have satisfied and happy customers, those are the people that they should use. Overall, I like American Home Shield, and I recommend it to people.

I was told that because my air handler is in my attic, everybody doesn't do that. So they had to find somebody that would. My concern was, instead of them notifying me that they were the contractor that was supposed to handle it, but they couldn't do it, I was the one that had to call and say, “Okay, it's been 24 hours. Nobody's called me back.” That's what happened with the first one. And they said, “Oh, we don't do that.” I had to call American Home Shield back. They said, “We got another company.

I did on my own what should have been done for me. And I am taking into consideration that air is a luxury. It's not a necessity, and it was very hot out. I'm sure they had a lot of calls. I know a lot of people that have air handlers in the attic. And if that was a peculiar situation, I should have been notified of that when I got the home warranty.

But outside of that, we had our air conditioner go and that went pretty smoothly. We paid our deductible. A guy came out and fixed it and that was our only cost. So far, it's pretty good. It’s also simple submitting a claim. You just log in, make your claim and follow up if you have any questions. It's not all of that running around, being transferred to 10 different departments.
We are happy that we were able to get the issue resolved for you. Thank you for sharing your recent experience with us regarding your AC request. Your malfunction will always be our priority. We look forward to our continued business together. Take Care.

American Home Shield is a pretty reliable service. Right now, in this current environment, it's good for me to have someone to call and know that someone's gonna come out and do the job. When we had our AC drainage stopped up, I called American Home Shield. The service tech was a couple of days out, then I had to reschedule. They came out when they had availability and took care of the problem. The tech was knowledgeable, professional and timely. I’ve also had other issues a while back. I like the peace of mind that anytime I need a technician when something goes wrong in my home, I could just pick up the phone, and they can locate a technician for me for whatever reason.

We recently had a water heater replaced. It was an older unit and the building and safety codes have changed over the years. AHS doesn't cover that and it was required work that had to be done by a licensed contractor. Plus, it more than doubled the price which meant that if we have any electrical or plumbing work that needed attention and something is not up to code, we get hit with the difference. That's a hole in the insurance.

I’ve been with American Home Shield for quite a while, and I’ve only had one bump in the road. It was about my air conditioning when I was living in another place. What was required was the repair people would have had to break the foundation because the pipe runs underneath the house and there was a Freon leak. American Home Shield said they don't cover that, which was understandable.
The last service I had was by far the most outstanding. I just bought this house last year, and I called the number that was on the air conditioning because it was flooding out my house. This guy from the number I dialed came in and said, “I got some bad news. Number one, your air conditioner is so old that we don't carry the Freon no more. So that means you're going to have to get a new unit. That would cost you $8,175.” It was $175 for nothing. My wife said, “Baby, do we still have American Home Shield? Did we change it over from our old house to our new house?” I said, “I don't know. Let me call.” So, I called and said, “What address do you have?” Sure enough, I transferred it over.
When I called the guy from American Home Shield, he was busy. I was told I would be given a call back, but I didn’t get one. I was sent an email saying the gentleman was gonna be coming out the next day, and this guy came out and I liked him. He was cool. He said, “Let me show you something.” The guy from first number I dialed didn’t even check the PVC pipe that drains the water outside, and it was so clogged. The guy from American Home Shield ran water through the pipe and unclogged it. I then said, “Well, let me ask you about this Freon.” He said, “What about it?” I said, “It was R-22.” He said, “You don’t need to replace it. If you have any problems with your stuff not cooling, then just let us know,” just go back through American Home Shield and request that company. It was great.
American Home Shield also came out and replaced our water heater. Not only did they replace it, they put this big thing on top of it that is now required, and it surprised me. I hear so many horror stories about American Home Shield. “Don’t do it. Don’t get it. They rip you off. They don’t want to do the work,” and unfortunately, we’re in a society where people want everything for nothing.

I am furious with AHS. I filed a claim for a microwave and they made me do a video thing. They saw what type of microwave it is and that it's a countertop with a built in trim kit. I paid $85 for the service guy to come out and I had to wait about five days for an appointment. He said he didn't think it was covered and that it was still considered a countertop even though it's built in with the trim kit. So, he left. I didn't have the actual contract but since AHS they did the video, they should have told me that in the first place.
So, I called American Home Shield and they kept saying that it was covered. A couple days go by and I called the appliance guy. I spoke to someone in his office and she said it was not covered. I told her that was not what American Home Shield said but she said it wasn't covered and hung up the phone. So I called her back and told her not to ever hang up on me again. But she said she didn't hang up on me and I was furious about that.
I then called American Home Shield and for two weeks, they kept saying not to worry and that it was covered. They also said they got partial approval from their authorization department. I was calling every day after being put on a 20-minute hold before getting a live person. Then two weeks later someone called me back and said that it was not covered. I finally called back and I said I wanted my money back from the service fee. They said they reimbursed it but I didn't check my credit card. Meanwhile, it was almost three weeks that I was without a microwave. I would never use American Home Shield and I'm going to tell my realtor that if he ever sold me another house, he better not get that as my home warranty. And I had a little housewarming party and everyone saw the microwave was missing from the slot. I told the story of American Home Shield and recommended against them.

Loyal Home Services, the contractor for the AC, was nice as well as the garage door guy. I've used American Home Shield a couple of times and the ease of being able to call one place than finding the contractor is good. I like that they have enough contractors because I've had a home warranty that had zero contractors before so they were a pointless service. I've had warranties where I pay the co-pay directly to the service provider and this is the first one I've had where I pay it to AHS. That was a little bit different for me but it doesn't matter either way.

My air conditioner was making a real loud noise. I went to the unit that sits outside and pulled grass away from it, and it stopped. When the tech came out, he looked at my system then he went outside, put his gauge on the air conditioner and checked the pressure of the Freon. He went back and told American Home Shield what he thought, and there was something he wanted to do that they didn't cover.
The air conditioner is still working, so I don't know what the loud squealing was. The tech said the condenser was dirty. He took the filter out and holding his camera, he stuck his hand under there and took a picture of the filter underneath. He showed me a picture, but I don’t know if that was my condenser or not. You can’t get under there to see unless you take the vent off and crawl up in there. The tech wanted me to pay $500 plus the $75 I paid him to come out and whatever ahs paid him. I’m not gonna pay $500 for somebody to clean that condenser. I can get under there and vacuum it.
Recently, I requested service for my washer and dryer. When I try to wash clothes, the washing machine bounced. I balanced it, and it was totally balanced, but still, it would do it. When the repair man came out, he said the springs were weak, and I'm sure that that was the problem because I could just open the door, and the basket would shake. He fixed it, and it's great. Overall, I'm happy with American Home Shield, other than the fact that they keep raising the price for the people to come out to my house. When the lady called about the washer and dryer, she said that they have to pay the tax for the state of Texas now. I've never heard of that, but they took out 81 something dollars for that visit.

The air conditioning unit has to be converted into another type. The two different technicians who had been out and looked it said, “This is outdated.” They both came to the same conclusion that the upgrades need to come, but American Home Shield is a little slow on acknowledging that. On the policy, that air conditioning unit needs to be replaced. Other than that, everybody at American Home Shield had a perfect attitude, and they were very open and honest. They were very clear and concise about the product itself. When the dishwasher needed parts, I asked the repair guy, “Does it need a replacement?” He said, “Oh, no. We got these. These are standard dishwashers that they put into new homes. And actually, we have plenty of parts for that.” It was a simple fix, and he was efficient in coming in, seeing the problem, and taking care of it.

I have put in a call in July for my AC being down. American Home Shield sent a technician out the following week. They came in that Monday, looked at it and said, "There's nothing wrong with the AC. Your drainage pipes are clogged and I don't do that. I'm not a plumber, so I can't do that. I'll go back and have the $100 that you paid for this service switched over to the plumber." I said, "Okay." I would call AHS every day and they would say, "Well, we can't find a plumber. Just call us back tomorrow."
I was dealing with 100-something degree temperatures every day and my house was staying around 85 to 90 degrees even with two fans blowing. So, it was extremely hot in here and I kept explaining that to them. They said, "Oh, no, no, no, we'll find somebody. You can find somebody externally, but you have to get our approval beforehand." I called someone, they were able to come out the next morning. They found that it was clogged. So, I was on the phone trying to get ahold of AHS to approve their work. The whole time I was talking to them on the phone, these guys already did it. They said it was a 15-minute job.
But AHS said, "We're not gonna pay for it because we didn't talk to them. We didn't tell them it was okay to clean out your pipe." I said the 15 minutes that they spent arguing with me over the phone about it, the tech was able to do it and my AC is running now. It's not like they asked to replace the AC unit or do $1,000 for repairs. They did something in 15 minutes and they charged me $183 for it. AHS said, "We're not gonna pay for that. And the other $100 you paid for the service call, that was for the technician to come out. He did come out, so we don't owe you that either." I finally got ahold of another lady and asked her, "How do I cancel my service with y'all? I pay y'all every month on time. I'll just quit." She said, "Well, I'll reimburse you the $100. It'll take 7 to 15 business days." I'm still waiting.
This is my first issue with them. If you're a loyal customer and you don't constantly call every month, the one time you have an issue, and if it's something that minor that they can disapprove, instead of having someone waiting three weeks in 100-degree heat and they were able to fix it in one day doing it themselves, they shouldn't challenge them about paying $183. It would be one thing if they wanted 5,000, 10,000, but it's $183. I was not impressed with AHS. I don't feel like I was treated as a valued customer.

My air conditioning wasn't working and so we called Home Shield. American Home Shield sent me the right people for my air conditioning. They were exceptional. They worked hard. They got the job done, and my air conditioning is working top-notch. I'm very satisfied with them. However, I have a dryer that I called about. It hasn't been working for over a month. I called AHS immediately when the dryer stopped working. They sent me a clown. He had like marbles in his mouth and it was very difficult to understand him but I kept hearing him say, “No electricity. No electricity.” So, when he pointed to the socket, I said, “Yeah. There's electricity.” Then he put a machine that points to the electricity, and his numbers were super low like, and my dryer is of a higher voltage.
I've lived here for 16 and a half years. This is the original dryer that that seller gave me when I bought my house. It's worked up until two days before the guy came. Everything's always been fine. I told him, “Listen. You need to leave my home. I need to call for someone who can really communicate with me and really find the problem." I sent him out. I called Home Shield and said, “This guy was a clown. I don't think he knows what he's doing. I really don't. And so please send me someone else.” They took three weeks to send someone out. I'd been without a dryer all this time. The first guy told me, “I need to call Home Shield and tell Home Shield that I need an electrician. Not a person that can fix dryers.” Home Shield sent me an electrician. Two guys came in. The guy put in his electrical thing, and said, “The voltage you need here is this. And this is what you have. You have plenty of voltage. There's no electrical problem in your home.”
I said, “Well, thank you very much. Can you please send that information to Home Shield?” They did. We called Home Shield. I said, “Please send us a guy that knows what he's doing so we can get our dryer fixed.” That was when they sent me back the first guy, and he came with the same little piece of equipment. He came with the same story that I have an electrical problem. I said, “Can I show you the documents the electrician gave me so you can clearly see what his report was?” He said, “Well, that's not happening now. There's something wrong.” I asked him, and not so nicely this time, to leave my home and not to ever come back to my home again.
I called Home Shield and I said, “Home Shield, I need my dryer fixed. Do not send me anyone from that company. Please send me a different company.” To this day, they have not sent anyone. I still don't have a dryer so I'm really pissed off at Home Shield about the dryer. They did the same thing to me with my refrigerator until finally, after going back and forth, they decided that my refrigerator was not reparable. It took them about eight months.
Home Shield failed me twice. All the other times that they have come, they have repaired the washer, the microwave, and the stove. They repaired that refrigerator maybe 10 times through the years and finally, I got a new refrigerator. Would I recommend Home Shield? I wouldn't because there are some things they do right, but there are too many things they do wrong. I felt like they don't care about me. When we bought this house, we started Home Shield. It was a gift from the seller. We decided to renew and we've kept it through the years, but they have failed me a few times. It was very aggravating. I even had a guy that I had escorted out of my home because he was vulgar. He talked and reeked of smoke. It was horrible.

We have had American Home Shield for several years and we've had good service with everything up until our last experience with the heating and air company that we dealt with when our AC was out. I put a request in via the website late on a Thursday night. The system assigned somebody who happened to be an HVAC company that’s 30 minutes away from us and would come from another state. This seemed odd because we have plenty in our town that deal with the home warranty. We didn't get any notification from them on Friday. Monday was the new Juneteenth holiday, so I left it alone because even though in those kinds of industries, it's not really a holiday to me and most places like that aren't closed. But I called American Home Shield on Friday and was told that the service company had 24 to 48 hours to make contact with me.
Tuesday rolled around and we still didn't hear anything. American Home Shield contacted the service company as well. Somebody came out fairly quickly and looked at the system. The technician thought he figured out what was shorting our system and was there for 15 minutes. The unit was blowing cold air when he left. I thought, “Cool, easy fix." I had changed into shorts at some point later that day and didn't notice that our AC wasn't working again. My husband came home and said it was hot. We figured the unit wasn't working again so we called the service company back.
The lady from their office was extremely rude. It seemed like they were very overwhelmed and I get that a lot of companies are short-staffed right now. But it is summertime and that's when a lot of air conditioning systems have issues. If she has been in their office long enough, she needs to have a little bit of patience with customers that are frustrated because their air conditioning unit is not working.
The lady said that she would get us on the schedule when she could and that she would have to call me back and let me know when that was going to be because she couldn't even tell me at that point. When my husband talked to her and said, “You guys were already out here once. We have an open warranty request with you guys. Why are you putting us at the bottom of the list? Because obviously, you guys didn't fix it the first time you were out here.” She was very rude to my husband at that point and actually hung up on him.
Finally, we got another guy out there. It took over a week to get him out there a second time. They figured out what was wrong with the unit and had to order a couple of parts. They said they had to run it through American Home Shield. I really still don't understand who ordered the parts because at one point the guy said, “I have to go back and order the parts. We have to get clearance from you,” but then at another point, we were told that the home warranty had to order the parts and send it to the service company. I got ahold of another office gal and she had informed me that she recently started there. She was super nice and did everything she could to try to get the ball rolling faster.
We went 29 days before our AC was fixed and this was in a 90-degree weather, which is going to make anybody a little irritable and frustrated. I understand that there is a supply chain management issue with parts. But when I called back that day and asked the lady for an update, I was told one part was in but they didn't know about the other one. The new lady was hoping the other one was gonna be there. It must have been the Wednesday after the Fourth of July. She tentatively put us on the schedule hoping the part was going to make it there and we were going to go from there. Wednesday rolled around and nobody had contacted us. I had no idea if techs were coming or not.
When I called that day, the lady on the phone said, “The faster I can get off the phone with you, then the faster I can check on when the part is going to be here.” I asked if she was going to call me back that day with an update and she said yes. But I never heard from her. We would call every couple of days. The lady was tired of hearing from us because she didn't have an update for us. All of a sudden, she called and said someone could be there tomorrow between 1:00 and 3:00. The problem was we were heading out of town. It was a Friday. I had a friend come over and sit at the house waiting for the technician to come. 5 o’clock rolls around and the tech still hadn’t shown up.
I called knowing the service company closes at 5:00. The lady said, “We had a guy end up in the house...we’re way off schedule. But we can reschedule if you want.” I asked, “If you reschedule me, that’s for Friday, right?" She said it was going to be whenever there was time on the schedule again. I said, “No, I will call my friend, and I will see if she can stay longer.” A tech finally made it to the house at 6 o'clock that night and got the air conditioning unit fixed. It's been working since.
This experience was extremely frustrating. It seemed to me that it took way too long to get the unit fixed. On American Home Shield's end, they have processes and procedures but we had requested switching gears to another company that was in our own hometown. We were told we couldn't otherwise we would be charged another service call. Eventually, we got through to a supervisor and we were told that we could be reimbursed for some fans and they did reimburse our service call fee to the AC company. We're working good now but it was a lot.
We have had good experiences with American Home Shield overall. I had my garage door fixed last week and the techs were out there in a very timely manner. They were super friendly too and the issue was taken care of. We also had other things in the past. With the AC experience that we had, I probably would hesitate to recommend American Home Shield just because of that. I have to look at the bigger picture that it's a reflection of the heating and air company that came out. But at some point, the home warranty needs to look at the people they are contracted with because they're giving them a bad name.

The contractor came out because my air conditioning was running constantly but wasn't cooling. I called American Home Shield and put in an order, they sent me someone who would come, and I had to contact them to find out when. The tech cleaned off the coils outside and added three pounds of Freon. The guy was very nice. He cleaned everything off. The Freon is not covered, which I knew ahead of time. He looked at the thermostat that I had and said he couldn't do it. He would have to come back for something like that because he wasn't familiar with them. They're smart thermostats.
I asked him if he would have somebody come back that would be able to change my thermostat for me. He said that wasn't covered." That was fine. But I never heard from them. So, they never came. I got somebody else to do it. I don't use American Home Shield for everything that we do because some of the people that they send out aren't that super. Now that I know them, I either don't use them or try to find somebody else. Most of the time, I don't have any trouble with them.

I like American Home Shield. But the companies they deal with, some are good, some are bad. When I have a problem with my appliances, I want it taken care of because I pay American Home Shield money. But they keep going up and up. Also, they should send better people out here that know what they're doing and get the job done. If you don't know what you're doing, then you're not the right person for the job.
American Home Shield sent somebody out three times for my dishwasher, to my displeasure, and I got charged $100. I didn't appreciate the company. I told American Home Shield not to ever send them to my house again. Don't send trash because trash goes in the garbage. I’m a veteran and everything is professional with me. If you’re having a bad day, send somebody else out. But the guy with Amtec Services is good. He’s been doing the job for 20 years. I wish I had him at first.

American Home Shield got the repairman to come to our house and fix the issue. But I'm still waiting for them to replace my microwave, and they haven't called. The microwave is not repairable.

I called, and the air conditioning guy was here within three days. He fixed it when he was here. He said my unit had a leak in it and he filled it up with Freon. He said it'll probably have to be filled up, but this will get me through the heat right now until I call it in again. So far, it's holding with the Freon in there. The air conditioning guy also said if I had any more problems with it, call him back. He did a damn good job, and I know him too. He does good work and I would recommend him to anyone.
I also used American Home Shield when the outside condenser unit of my AC wasn't working properly. They sent somebody from Lampasas, and they were just as good. I figured they wouldn't have showed up this time, but they did. This air conditioning guy's out of Menard because he's only 28 miles from where I live, which made it a lot better, and he was very efficient. Got it done and got the hell out here. Overall, American Home Shield has been wonderful. In fact, I gotta talk my son into getting it. He's got his house down in San Antonio.

I wish American Home Shield would source people in the States. I know that India is cheap labor, but they don't understand me completely. There's always a language barrier with these guys, and I can't email anybody my complaints. I can never just go on the app and request information. I go on their website. It's very simple. I can't just email them. There's no form to email anything even on the app. They should source people here in the States. I can't even talk to a supervisor when I call to complain about something. The other thing I'd like to complain about is they should have the contractor touch base with me the same day. Or just someone to say, “The soonest we can get out to your place is this day.” This last incident I had, I had to wait at least five days. I reached out to them just to confirm that they were coming the day that they said they were.
AHS has been taking my money for over a year for my monthly dues. And when I pay for it, my card wasn’t accepted. I'm waiting for a refund because they overcharged me on something. And it took me three calls to even get someone to realize that they owe me money, but still have not received that money back into my account. They save me money because all the air conditioning techs would have charged at least 125 just to walk in the door. I know that it's probably industry standard, but the last with Climate Control Heating and Air charged me $100 a pound for Freon to do that. And the only way he accepted money was from Venmo. So, I had to Venmo him the money, which seems unprofessional. They don't take a credit card.
The only reason why I stay with AHS is because I only pay $100 per service. Unfortunately, with the air conditioner, I had to pay an extra 300 for the Freon, which I understand that's how it works. It even says in the contract AHS doesn't pay for Freon. Which I don’t get if they're gonna be part of a warranty service, why do we have to pay extra? My house is cool. But they should at least contract out to these HVAC guys and say, “Okay. If you are going to charge the customer directly, this is how much you can charge them.” $100 per pound seems a little steep.

The AC was not cooling as much. The actual temperature was over four degrees higher than the set temperature, which was not normal. I was concerned because it's hot in the middle of the summer. I submitted a ticket online through American Home Shield. I asked them to check on it and make sure everything was functional. Their website was easy to navigate. I was sent an email and a text with the information about the company - their name and a time frame that they would come. It was an excellent experience with the tech. He asked me about what exactly the issue was. Pretty thorough questions. I showed him all the pertinent locations of the AC, the blower, the condenser, and then he went and looked at everything. He explained everything to me and told me everything that he did and his recommendations. I've been really happy with AHS.

I like American Home Shield. The service has been great. I used May Heating Company about a year and a half ago, and they had to order a part and it took a while to come. But they talked me through it. The guy remembered me when he came in and serviced the unit because it was leaking and it caused damage to my ceiling. They did the work and I was pleased with them. All the companies that AHS have is not phenomenal, but this one was phenomenal. They need to vet some companies. I had a problem with my washing machine and it took six companies to come out to repair it. One guy said all they had to do was remove the tub out of the center. Other people didn't want to do the work but he did it and it was serviced. I called AHS and told them the situation.
I'll keep AHS because the service is great for the cost. I don't like the increase that they put on there. The call went from $45 and jumped right up to $75. But it's just the way the world is. When I call, I can get somebody to come out to service it and I don't have to pay any additional cost. It isn't something that's outrageous. I've had a new AC unit put in many years ago and the cost was $1,500. I had to pay half of it. But that was reasonable. For a person with a family of two children and college, the cost makes a difference when you don't have to put out that much money when I make a payment every month to them which is reasonable.

Whenever I call AHS and after I pay, the techs come and do what they got to do. I have never had a problem. The only problem I had was when I had a claim with my dryer and some of the contractors would not cover them. This dryer was no good. The tech who came kept coming out and doing it. After the third time, I said, “I need me a dryer. You’re either gonna fix it or not.” He was just making up excuses to come back. He would also come in with no mask. Also, after I told him I didn’t want him anymore, his wife sent me a really nasty message, which I didn’t appreciate. I called AHS and told them that I didn’t want him anymore, so AHS sent somebody else out. As soon as the second company came out, the tech looked at it and said, "I knew this was no good.” They also had their masks on and they showed their badge. They were very good. I had no problem with that company right there.

We've been having some issues with my AC and whatever vendor AHS is sending out to me tells me it's a 48-hour hold before they can come out to do service. American Shield would not let them come out unless it’s after 48 hours that they received the claim. That's not really cool because in Texas, we're in triple degree weather and it's super hot. When you have kids and dogs at home, it's not that great to be telling someone that.
They're supposed to come out today but they like to send a confirmation text or call the day before they come out to verify that someone will be at the house. They did not send that yesterday. I missed work the last few times they came out and I can't keep missing work. The first time, it was good and I liked the tech a lot. He fixed the condenser. But the second time, the guy said there was nothing wrong with the AC. I told AHS, "I don't want that guy back. Send someone else. This has already been the third time. Can y'all get out here faster? Because we're in triple degree weather.” They said, “We understand but we're booked up. And your warranty has a 48-hour hold before we can send someone out."
Other than that, they usually take care of my claims pretty quickly. I like where I can go online and look at my information. I can submit a claim online but I also wish that they have the option to call them as well there and have the phone number posted as well as the times you can call. Because I don't know if they're on Pacific Time and I'm in Texas. But no one answered and it says it's after hours. That's why I was kind of disappointed. I don't know where to go because they used to answer you right away.

I've had a few work orders so far and most of them have been handled fantastically. I'm very impressed. But one of them was not handled well and I had to fight with American Home Shield over and over again. We have a dual oven-microwave combination mounted on the wall and both of them were defective. They sent out a technician and he couldn't even get the parts. He tried to fix the oven but he didn't really fix it well.
American Home Shield offered $1,500 to replace the unit and the cheapest one I could find was $2,900. They said they'd replace my unit with the exact same one if they could find it and not just credit 1500 but the full amount of whatever it costs. So I knew it was a scam. They just wanted to pay me the $1,500 and let me go on my way. That wasn't fair. So I called a number of times and finally talked to a higher-up person who ended up sending me a check for $2,925, which almost paid for it. It cost us $800 out of pocket to get it installed and everything because it was a real difficult job and there was some tax. AHS never intended to replace my unit. I looked at their options for a week or two and it kept saying, They were never intending to replace it. I looked for a week or two and it kept saying, “Unavailable. Unavailable.” But everyone else had it. That was extremely dishonest.

American Home Shield is there when I need it. It's convenient. I need it because I can't afford to pay full price if anything ever breaks down.

I'm pretty happy about American Home Shield. There were some hiccups here and there with our claim for a broken AC unit. But overall, it was taken care of. Some of the parts didn't match up with newer parts and the warranty only covers comparable or compatible parts. So we had to deal with the issue of that. Also, one complaint I had was that when it comes to ordering parts for the service department or service company to do their job, there was a backlog on the parts. They have a supplier that they have to go through and they could not give me an arrival date for the parts to be shipped. So, I had to go a different route because they said they weren't sure when the parts were going to be. They contributed to the supply shortage that's happening across the world.
They were able to resolve the issue though, by saying, “Look, the other option we have is that we can just reimburse you for the portion that we would have taken care of.” I had the service company and they acquired the parts. They were able to take care of the issue in a timely manner. For the most part, the process was fine though it took a little longer than I would have liked. At least they gave an alternative solution and that's what I was happy with.
