    Renegade Electric had to replace the GFCI in the garage. The electrician came out here, identified the problem, listened to what I had to say, then fixed it. He was out within 15 minutes. The contractors prior to that, I wouldn’t recommend them anymore. They misdiagnosed the issue and also reported the wrong thing. It ended up being denied so I had to put in another claim. Renegade Electric came out and fixed it right away. I would recommend American Home Shield. I used them when I had a house up in Reno too. There was some electrical issues and they were able to get that fixed. It's not perfect but it's definitely worth it. I’ve gotten one major thing fixed. But it seems like the last thing that I was trying to get fixed isn't going to work. The AC unit in the attic needs to be re-leveled and new straps added. Apparently, it’s not something that American Home Shield’s gonna cover.

    The last home warranty company that we had couldn't help us. They wouldn't call us back or give us a person. It was like we didn't have a home warranty. We asked my son what kind of a warranty he had, and he told us American Home Shield. We switched over and we are very satisfied. Recently, we had an air conditioner that was blowing hot air and the technician said it was the capacitor. It was the second time that they sent him out and he knew his stuff. When we described what it did, he knew right away what it was going to be. Once he looked at the capacitor, it was all rusted out. It was failing. He had to add a little bit of freon and it’s working fine, just like before. We highly recommend American Home Shield. As a matter of fact, we got a community Facebook group and we told them about American Home Shield on there. Someone was complaining about hers and we told her we made a phone call to American Home Shield and their contractor came right out and they fixed the issue.

    The AC unit was not getting cold. I called Home Shield to do a claim. The tech came in here and talked to me, and let me know that he was gonna have to report the problem to Home Shield, and that Home Shield would get back in touch with me to let me know what was going on. But Home Shield didn't get back in touch with me. Somebody came for the repair though. He told me to call him back if something will happen in so many days, but so far, it’s running.

    I submitted a claim to American Home Shield for my oven display but I don't want to be without my oven right now. So we’re gonna put it off until we’re out of town for a while. That way, I won’t miss it as long. We also had a claim for our downdraft cooktop. The part where it pulls the air and the grease in has rusted and I couldn't clean it. So, they would not replace it. They said it was cosmetic. It should be replaced though. If you can't keep the appliance clean, then it's not gonna be good to use. Still, AHS’ service has been prompt. If you call them, they get somebody out here.

    It was a leak, and it was a little oily so there was condensation on the piping that came from the AC unit. But it was running, and it was very hot so it wasn't cooling to its normal capacity. American Home Shield submitted a ticket to the first contractor but they said they didn't get anything. I had a work order number, so I called American Home Shield. They got in touch with another contractor and within 10 minutes, that contractor called me and came out the next morning at 7:00. They were upfront. They made sure there were no leaks, the Freon was full, and that everything was running good with the furnace. They were thorough.

    So far, our experience with AHS has been good. However, we've had a random experience with the provider that they sent to us for our issue. But overall, I feel okay with American Home Shield. Originally, we had a claim back in June. One of our air conditioning units was leaking in the basement. The techs came out, took a look at it, but didn't really have an explanation for what was going on. Randomly, I don't know why they did this, but they went upstairs and looked at the unit in the attic, which didn't have anything to do with the one in the basement.

    They ended up having to have the manager come out, which is the owner of the company. He took a look at the unit three days later, because I called them back and said, “This isn't resolved.” They took care of it and solved the issue. Then, we just had them come out. I said, “Our upstairs unit is not working. It's been running flat out all day, every day since a week and a half ago.” I assumed that it was because we had gotten Nest thermostats, and it was trying to learn out whatever that they do. But, regardless, it wasn't.

    I said to my husband, “It's weird how it doesn't feel like the pressure for the air return when the unit's on is actually there.” We used to hear a whistle in certain bedrooms. When you shut the door, it would make a suction noise. He said, “Oh, weird. I never thought about it. But yeah, that makes sense.” He went upstairs and checked it himself, and they had left the cover off of it. So it was pulling air from the attic through the system and trying to recirculate that through our main floor and our upstairs. Humidity was through the roof.

    When we called, I said, “The unit we're having issues with is in the attic.” He said, “Okay, I think I know what the issue is.” He went out and looked at the unit outside, added a couple of ounces of Freon to balance the system, he said, it should be all good and left. But he never even went upstairs to check the system. I was like, I don't know how you can figure out what's going on by just checking an outside unit. Had he gone upstairs, he would have seen what the last technician did, left the system wide open. Obviously, when it's 90 degrees, and trying to circulate air that's in the attic that is 110 degrees, it’s gonna be a problem. I personally won't have them back out to my house again. Both times have been unique.

    We had a problem with the heater and American Home Shield sent a guy out of Nogales. He was the friendliest guy and was all over it. This last time, it took a bit to get the air conditioner fixed. The tech bypassed something to make it work, so it wasn't a problem in 115-degree heat. But they had a problem getting the part. We called him to find out about the part and he said, "Yeah, it just hasn't come in yet. It's supposed to be in on Friday and I will be out there that day to put it in." Everybody has been good. I'm paying $75 a month. If I added that all up, it's probably what it would cost me to get my issues fixed. But it spreads the bill out over the whole time too and it doesn't impact me all at one time, which makes it nice.

    It was inconvenient that AHS had three different technicians from three different companies come out to my house. The first person they sent out only came to check the stove and I never heard from him again. They then sent a second person who diagnosed it, ordered the part, and came back within a week to fix it. The third person was supposed to fix my microwave and when he came out, he checked out the equipment and he hasn't come back yet. Then AHS dispatched someone else out after that but he didn't come out to fix it. It was more like he did the same thing as the other tech did and he hasn't been back yet. He's still waiting on the part. So in total, I'd be ending up with five appointments, which requires me to be at home instead of being at work at that time.

    The compressor outside was turning and I could hear it turned on, but it wasn't blowing any air. Metropolitan Heating & Air Conditioning was able to address the issue quickly. They even came on Sunday, so I didn't have to wait long at all. The only thing is I'm having issues with my stove and microwave and the company that AHS has sent is very incompetent. They haven't been able to complete the work for almost a month. I spoke to AHS several times, and they won't change the company.

    I did hear back from the company. They're supposed to be coming on Friday. I asked them if they could send a different tech and they were like, "No, that's our senior tech," and they wouldn't address the issue. The tech that they sent refused to wear his mask properly. Also, one thing I didn't like about AHS is that, last year, they raised the prices and didn't tell anybody. The only way I knew it went up was because I have automatic draft out of my account and I saw this double increase that they took out of my account.

    My downstairs AC unit was not cooling. Since the guy had access to my backyard, he was able to get started early and diagnose the problem before I got home. Once I got there, he showed me the bad part and told me that they were going to replace it. Once he replaced it, he hung around for about another 20 minutes to make sure that it began to cool. Recently, the dishwasher was not draining and that claim went well too. So far, I have not had a bad experience with the vendors that American Home Shield has sent for repairs. It's a smooth process. The deductible is reasonable.

    With a home warranty, if anything major comes up, you know how much it's gonna cost to either get it fixed or replaced, which is great. The thing that I like about American Home Shield in particular is that you can combine related items on a single call. I had a couple of issues with some of other contractors that came out, but overall, I'm satisfied. When there was a problem with one of the knobs on the oven and an issue with the microwave door not closing, the repair people were out in a couple of business days. They explained the problem really well and did a good job resolving it. They were able to repair that the same day where I had to replace the microwave and I’m still waiting for that to be available to install.

    Our air conditioner died and American Home Shield was gonna replace it. I had the option of either getting them to do it or getting a buyout. I wanted to compare the prices to see what would be the best thing for us so I called to request the buyout and that experience was not good. The first person who I talked to didn't know what he was doing. He made a mistake with our paperwork and that cost us a few days of processing time. That was on a Friday. I called back on a Monday and the person who I spoke to then was very competent and recognized the mistake and fixed it. But then I was in a queue to get the price or the buyout amount. They said it would take 24 to 48 hours. I called back at 47 hours which was one hour short and they said that they didn't have it. I called the next day and the next day and the next day, and they still didn't have it.

    Finally, I got someone who transferred me to the actual bio department, and then I had an answer within 10 minutes. We were waiting all that time to find out the amount, when realistically, it could have just taken a little bit of time. I understand that the buyout department was busy, but that's a little crazy. We're still without an air conditioner, by the way. But then the American Home Shield contractor has been phenomenal.

    It’s really hard to get ahold of AHS and get some things done. It also took forever to get the payouts for the dishwasher. Also, when Pruitt's Plumbing came out recently, they didn't really do anything. They just cut a hole in the ceiling and showed me what the issue was. Since AHS doesn't cover any water softeners, I pretty much had to fix it myself.

    We lived up in Estrella Mountain for a few years and had American Home Shield for three years there. We moved and we had to get a different company, but since we've been in this house in 2017, we’ve had them here. We had a microwave repair done recently and the repair company was very accommodating. They had to order a part and it took a few days, but that worked out just fine. On the other hand, we've had an issue with our air conditioner. It went out on Sunday and I have an elderly person living with me that’s got an autoimmune disease.

    I called American Home Shield and told them it was very urgent that I get it fixed. When we first called, we talked to a person who said she put notes in for an expedited situation and that they would call us within 30 minutes. They didn't call us within 30 minutes. We called them back, and they said, “Well, now it's a four-hour window.” That was at 8 o'clock in the evening, so that’d make it midnight before somebody would get ahold of us. Nobody called us then, so we called the contractor on the next morning, which is a Monday. They said they couldn't get out here before Wednesday, and they said, “Call your American Home Shield. See if they'll expedite it through some other company or something.”

    We called AHS back, and they were not accommodating at all. The rep would not help us one bit. He said he was gonna make a note and send an email to the company, hoping that there also was a cancellation, they could send somebody out earlier. We never heard anything though, so we're still waiting. American Home Shield is supposed to bring somebody out late this afternoon, but I'm not pleased. Phoenix was 110 degrees today. American Home Shield needs to understand that if your air conditioner goes out in an area like Phoenix, Arizona and it's in the middle of the summer, they need to get somebody that's gonna be there within the same day or provide next day service instead of getting somebody that's gonna be four days out.

    I had the same issue when I lived up in Estrella and my air conditioning went out. I ended up calling an outside contractor and having it repaired without even processing a claim because they couldn't get anybody out there and it was gonna take four days. It was during the middle of the summer when it was 110 degrees out, and I couldn't wait. I couldn't live there and didn't have any other place to go.

    When my AC wasn’t blowing cold air anymore, a repair company came out and the guys were very professional, assertive, and helpful. One night, I called their company and I was like, “How long is this gonna take?” They were like, “We have to wait for American Home Shield.” A week later, they called me and it was smooth. They replaced my old unit with a little one, and I was like, “Is that thing gonna cool down my house?” They were like, “No, it’s better. It's built better.” They told me everything and then they waited to make sure that all the Freon was working right. They were good and the day they installed the unit was the day the heatwave was supposed to start, so it was right on time. I was satisfied.

    My aunt, me, and six other cousins who own homes have American Home Shield. I've had it for some years now, and it’s easy to submit a claim. It's crazy because it's changed a lot. I learned about it through my cousin, and I know at least 20 people that have gotten it through me. At first, a lot of people was like, “You pay $1,000? What if nothing breaks?” I said, “Trust me, when it does break, it’s worth going through them instead of finding a plumber, or getting your cousin, or your friend who knows how to do stuff, and they screw it up.” I have my ups and downs, but it’s more on the positive stuff.

    I have a brand-new Frigidaire dishwasher that was purchased in February of 2020, and one time, it wouldn't run through a cycle. The technician came out the next day and looked at it. It took him 15 minutes, and he said that the motor had gone out. The repair company ordered the part, and between them ordering the part and coming back to install it, it was six business days. I was impressed that they called me on Saturday morning and said, "Your part came in last night. We can come install it this afternoon if you want," which I was really surprised. Usually, a lot of them don't work on Saturdays. I called them on a Monday, and by that Saturday, they came to install it. They were cool. The technician was very professional. He asked me for some towels, because he had to run it through some type of cycle without closing the door. He didn't wanna get water on the floor.

    The folks with Heritage Air were really kind and they did the best they could. We were without AC for five days while my elderly parents live with us and my daughter had covid so it was such a beating of a week. We were very relieved when they finally were able to get us up and running again. They were tidy. I didn't feel like our house had been chased as we've had some of those. It was a quality company that AHS sent out instead of some fly-by.

    We've had several experiences previously that have not been great that we have had to dicker back and forth with AHS. The technicians that they send out couldn't care less. They're strictly there to check a box and that's it. We've had some really bad plumbers. The refrigerator that's presently out is less than four years old. I spent the entire November all the way through to the middle of January to get the refrigerator right. I had to go the entire holiday season where I was hosting 26 people and had a little Christmas party for my daughter and all of her little friends without the refrigerator.

    On top of that, AHS wagged us around. This is our fourth ticket in three years. We've lost all of our food more than once and the fight with AHS over that was absurd. We got a much smaller refrigerator than we previously had and it was either that or we had to pay the $7,000 difference. But we've been with AHS for 12 years so there's bound to be some not great experiences. We kind of justify the bad experiences for the few times that we thank God for AHS. To have that investment protected to where we pay a $75 service fee as opposed to having hundreds and possibly thousand dollars' worth of repair unexpectedly is great. We see it as a savings account. It's a monthly thing that we contribute to.

    JED Plumbing came when I was having the issue of running water in my toilet. It was leaking inside the commode. The plumber changed the flush wall and the gasket under the fill wall. At that time, the problem was resolved. I could not recreate the problem in front of him and he told me it was gonna fix the problem. But after a couple of days, once in a while, the water keeps on flushing out inside the commode. The issue was not fixed.

    The other problem was when he was fixing the issue, he was sitting on my toilet seat and opening the top of the canister and fixing it. If you sit on the toilet seat which is made up of plastic and you move a little bit, it might break the hinges off it. It was a slow-close toilet seat and after he left, I figured that the hinge was broken and it banged down on people when they try to close it. He could not fix anything, rather he broke something and left. I'm very dissatisfied with what happened and I didn't have the time to call them and figure things out. The kind of vendors American Home Shield has is not very good. They should know what kind of vendors they partner with.

He was very nice, professional, and quick to resolve the issue. He had to come back. He had to order a part. But he walked us through all the steps, which was very helpful.

    Out of the companies that offer this kind of service, American Home Shield seemed to be the most honest. Every time I've needed them, they’ve been there. They’ve responded in a timely manner and treated every claim fairly. Recently, my air conditioner was leaking water. I went online, punched in the things, and sent it off. It was easy and within 48 hours, their contractor contacted me then came out the next day. The guy was professional and knew what he was doing. He repaired, solved the problem, and was gone.

    The AC wasn't coming on. The tech was nice. He said that the fan motor was out. He replaced that and that same day, the AC started working but it wasn't cooling. I could hear the motor running but it wasn't cooling the house down. The contractor is coming back out because they said that a coil needed to be replaced.

    I also had a plumbing issue last week. The tech was quick. But one of the issues wasn’t resolved because the city water department needs to come and be able to turn the water off. The tech told me that whenever I can get the city to come out, they will come back and replace some seals on my faucet. Other than that, things were fine.

    I waited a week and a half for a technician to come when the dishwasher wouldn't drain. American Home Shield said that there weren't enough technicians around. But it was great once the technician came out. He did quick troubleshooting and had the part in his truck. He replaced it and off he went. But I had some problems with my refrigerator that I've had people out here five different times for the same thing. They kept saying they were gonna replace it but they kept fixing and waiting for parts so that made me a little bit dissatisfied. But over the years, AHS has replaced the air conditioning unit, the pump on the pool spa, this refrigerator work, and now the dishwasher so I'm satisfied.

    I am very dissatisfied. American Home Shield refused the repair for my plumbing issue. They claimed the pipe was burst because of ice accumulation in the line. Frozen pipe. Because that's not covered under their policy, they refused the repair. The plumber could do it himself for $300. I told him, “Thank you very much, but forget it. I'll do it myself.”

    I thought that he could have written up the request differently to allow it to be repaired, or could have said, “Hey, it's not covered because of this. I can do it for X amount,” but a lot cheaper than what he said. His whole approach was more of he didn't want to do it, and therefore wrote it up as he did, and then said that AHS would not cover it, therefore he wouldn't go and do it unless I paid him. I can't say I'm overly floored with him either. But definitely not with American Home Shield.

    I also have another service order for a dishwasher to be repaired. The contractor is a Sears technician. He gave me an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. window. For most working people, to give up eight hours to wait around for a person to show up is ludicrous. Four hours is bad enough. 8:00 to 12:00 or 12:00 to 4:00 is a usual response. But 8:00 to 5:00 is just outrageous. AHS is also not easy to get ahold of. I usually go through the 877 number and it's usually transferred to some call center in the Philippines. I found that that call center is overall not very helpful.

    A contractor came out for a microwave. The fan was still working, but it wasn't heating and we had some issues with it sparking. They had everything available to make the repairs. They had to swap out two different things so they took it apart right there in the kitchen, swapped out two pieces and put it back. It took them an hour and we had no problems since.

    However, I've had American Home Shield's contractor come out twice to address a dishwasher that has not been repaired sufficiently. Also, they've sent somebody out to address an issue with our clothes washer, and that particular one did not get resolved. Somebody came out, looked at a few things, and it still isn't resolved today. We were out $100 for somebody coming out so I was not pleased with that one. If somebody said, "Would you recommend American Home Shield for day-to-day repairs on items in your house," I would say no. If they said, "Would you have it as a policy against something major, like your air conditioner going out," I would say yes.

    The stove was not heating and the vendor said the board needed to be replaced. But my home is 18 years old and so are all of my appliances. That part is no longer being made so American Home Shield has to replace my stove as well as my washing machine. My appliances are LG, and there's no LG choice on their shopping site so you can elect to have a check distributed out to you, which is what I did. I’m waiting for the checks and I'm hoping to get the check by Monday. I probably won't so I've already decided that if I don't have it, I'll put it on a credit card until those checks come in, then pay my credit card.

    I did have this difficulty with American Home Shield here in this house in Florida. They assigned a vendor to come out but the vendor never came out for three days. The technician wasn't even responding and the process was to wait until American Home Shield heard from the vendor before they could petition to get a different vendor. I ended up canceling that particular work order because I wasn't getting anywhere. Timeliness is important and getting quality people out to make the repairs is important too.

    We have three air conditioners. It's kind of a pain in the ass, but with how American Home Shield does it, you have to have three different appointments to look at three air conditioners. The first guy who came out could only look at one. So, he did and he changed the filter. Each time somebody comes out, it's $100. So, the next guy came out, and he looked at one. Then the third guy came out. He looked at one, and there was an actual problem with one. He said they're gonna order a part and someone will call me, and no one's ever called me.

    We're all busy and it's a problem for me to stay home for three separate appointments. It's inconvenient because they don't tell you, "I'll be there at 1 o'clock." They tell you, "I'll be there from noon to 5:00." So, you're watching your doorbell and your phone. You're trying to clear your calendar for three to five hours, and that's very difficult. But the people who came out we're very good. As far as getting someone out here and getting good service, I rate that much higher than dollars. In this world, I can never find a good contractor.

    The air conditioner went out, and Prayco came out twice. The first time, we called them out and they said that the tech fixed something, but it may be a band-aid because something froze up, and you kind of have to wait till it falls out to see if it burns out the motor. So, a couple of days went by, and it went out again. The tech said that was what the issue was. So, he came out and fixed that.

    It's pretty simple to do claims to American Home Shield as far as going online and submitting them. My husband and I don't know how to fix anything. That's not our forte. So, it will be very expensive if we do not have AHS. For me, and where we are with our skill set in that department, it's pretty necessary, even though they have some stuff that's not covered. It does cover some of those small things that you can go somewhere else and spend hundreds of dollars. Still, there are some things that I think should be covered given the price. We have other friends that know how to fix a leak, so I don't think AHS is beneficial for them because the major stuff that they would probably have issues with that they couldn't fix on their own wouldn't be covered.

    Having a home warranty is peace of mind on the backside. It’s one thing to stash up each month. You don't have to completely just create a separate account to fill it, do it yourself. We've paid it for quite some years now, off and on, and we can go two years not having a single incident. But then we have that big thing that happens like our AC and compressor has gone out. We pay our service call and go from there. It's just that sometimes it takes days to hear back. We're uncomfortable at home while we're dealing with it. But with our recent claim, the plumber came out and took care of the issue. He did a great job. Come to find out he was one of my wife's old friend’s son that's grown up now.

    When I had a problem with my pool, the company that American Home Shield put me with was horrible. I could never get in contact with them. They would never answer any pages or text messages. It took two months for them to get one part for my pool. I understand that part is so hard to come by, but at least they could have answered some of the inquiries. Even American Home Shield couldn't get in contact with them.

    The company American Home Shield gave me this time was an excellent company to work with. The compressor went out on my air conditioner. When I called them, they told me it would probably be three days to a week before they may get a compressor in. But they got one in in two days. They called me right away and told me that they had a compressor, and the technician could come out. They waited for me and they came out yesterday, put the compressor in, checked everything, and we got air. They were easy to communicate with. I like working with that company and I told AHS that. That compressor cost $5,000 so it's definitely worth having American Home Shield because it only cost me $450 to replace the freon.

    My problem was diagnosed incorrectly back in May. AHS sent the pool guy out. That's the one they should have sent, but he didn't know what to do. So then they sent an electric guy. Because the electric man was not a pool guy, we went in circles. I threw in the towel and had my issue fixed by somebody else. But it was never addressed correctly. I'm not going to pursue it any further as it's too complicated.

    Sometimes customers don't know what they're talking about and they cannot correctly identify things. So we need the techs to fill in a lot of the blanks. Sometimes they can't and that's understandable. But they're very polite and they did the best they could. The electric guy answered my questions and spoke with me for a while. He was very nice.

She then said that I need to call American Home Shield and let them know. I got somebody who had a key to my house. But when I called her back and asked her if the second time was open, she said that she canceled my request and I had to file another one.

    I called to file the second one and a gentleman answered the phone. He had a guy come out who explained that there was a clog in one of the returns and he unclogged it. Other than that, it's a well-working air conditioner. But the thing is that the people who owned it before me enclosed the garage and didn't upgrade for the extra size of space, and so he had the drain valve that was outside point in a different direction for me.

    We had some work done just recently. I put the job in. And that night, they called me and said, “Hey, we're gonna have somebody out to you in the morning.” The guy came up front, took care of my issues, walked away. They took care of the issue. I specifically asked the guy that I spoke to at American Home Shield to make it a note that if we have AC service, that I would like that company that I dealt with yesterday to be contacted because they were fast. They did beautifully. The service call was simple enough with no parts. He took care of it. I wish AHS would cover more cost of the Freon. But it is what it is. I've had it when we had parts changed and I recognize that it saved me some money. I experienced that the last couple years where it was a cost savings.

    We didn't enjoy the experience we had with this one company. The guy showed up to do work and said, “I got to do Freon. You need to pay me in cash or a cashier's check or money order.” I said, “Okay. Last time you guys dealt with us, we gave you a check or a credit card.” “Well, we're not doing that anymore.” I'm not up to the point, when I'm paying for a service, for somebody telling me that I need to leave the house to get a money order or cash. So I requested that I never use that company again. That's the kind of stuff that's extremely aggravating to me about it.

    If that guy yesterdar asked us to reach in our pocket for cash or leave the house and go get him a money order, we would’ve sent him away. AHS would have to send me somebody else or just cancel and prorate my year. Last year, it took them a week to finally come in and see us in the middle of the summer with no AC. Luckily, I've got three units so I had parts of the house that I can cool off in. But then, it was another two weeks for the part, and another week after they got the part for somebody to come out.

    Recently the microwave wasn't working. The tech was very friendly and professional. But I had the worst experience with the air conditioner claim process. It was in the middle of summer and the first technician took almost seven days to show up. After that, it took them 10 days to come back with a quote. So, for 14 days, our home upstairs was at 100 degrees Fahrenheit and we were not able to use the whole upstairs in Texas. And just because I had insurance, I hoped they would fix it. But after 14 days, they came back and asked for $2,000, and that wasn't enough.

    So, that technician charged for $2,000, and then I called another technician I paid from out of pocket to come and look at it, and that technician said, "There's nothing wrong with your air conditioner. Your Freon was low, so I filled it. You don't have to do anything." So, I would have been ripped off $2,000 by American Home Shield's contractor. I cannot have an insurance which takes 14 days in a summer to just look at an AC and tell me what to fix. That's the main reason I decided to change my insurance.

    With small things, like a $100 or $50 repair, AHS was good with it. But when it came to the big one, they messed it up. Because there was dishonesty with their contractor as well as their customer experience. If I want to talk to somebody about not getting resolved, there's no way to do that. It just stops at the first person who picks the phone from their call center. The email I need to write to a customer service, there is no way to communicate other than calling their call center and that's so specific. So, it was a mess. I keep insurance for the big ones and it didn't work out. I cannot ever imagine going back to AHS. And the data proves that, in my neighborhood, everybody is with Choice or some other insurance company.

    The drum of the washer was making a noise and it was smoking. I got an email from the company and we set up a virtual appointment to where they did a Zoom call to try to diagnose it before the technician came out so he would have the parts on hand. The guy came and knew exactly what it was. A couple of holders in the back that has three prongs on it broke and it had the tub unbalanced. It was rubbing against the rubber and that was where the smoke and the smell were being created. He said it's a normal maintenance thing and it happens with the front load washer. He was done in less than an hour and was very professional.

    However, I had another issue where my pool pump went out in March and American Home Shield took way too long to come to a resolution. I put in a ticket that time and they sent a company out. The guy told me exactly what it was and that he was going to order a part. He said there's been a shortage on pool parts because of the freeze that we had in February and it was gonna be at least three weeks before he gets the part so I said okay.

    About the third week in April, I called AHS to try to get an update. They said that they called the company and the company was not calling them back. This went on for three months to get a resolution. I ended up having to pay for another ticket for a company to come out. The guy diagnosed it and said that it was cracked and American Home Shield would not cover it. I wondered why the guy back in March told me about ordering a part for it. This second guy advised me that before that first guy even came out, AHS was not going to cover it and I just need to cancel it and pay for a pump. I went ahead and paid for it out of my pocket, which I still don't agree with, just to get it fixed. I got more information from somebody that's a subcontractor from American Home Shield than I got from the company that I'm paying monthly for.

    In previous years, I had one or two experiences that were not covered, and understood about that, so I won't hold that against American Home Shield. But this one takes the cake because I was doing more follow up than a customer should and I was getting more upset as far as calling back and not getting any resolution to it. The customer service was offshored and so I never knew if it was a language barrier with those folks, but everyone promised me that they would get it resolved and they would get back to me, and no one did.

    I even tried to contact the CEO and look for his email address but I could not find it. I posted something on Twitter but I still haven't gotten a response back. Then nobody did any kind of follow up with the first company and that was their failed commitment. But American Home Shield should make do with that promise and send somebody else who could actually do it. I'm dissatisfied and I'm looking for another company to go to.

    The sensor on my dryer wasn't working and the unit wasn't fully drying clothes. I called American Home Shield, and the contractor they sent did very good. The guy showed me, explained everything and was very specific. He was very knowledgeable. There was a part missing in the end, but it wasn't like someone took out the part. It was just part of the machine. All in all, American Home Shield was easy to use and I'd recommend it so far.

    Our air conditioners are getting kind of old. So, they've had to be serviced a few times. Somebody came out recently, and there was an electrical part that had gone bad that they replaced. They did a good job. The only thing with American Home Shield is it is sometimes tricky that we have multiple air conditioning units. Unless we specify that more than one of them is having a problem, then their service tech can only do one at a time, which can be a little problematic with having more than one unit. In the past, we had that issue where our home had multiple units. We didn't realize that we had to specify that more than one unit needed to be serviced. So, there was one time we had to do multiple service claims to get the issue resolved. But other than that, it's been fine.

    Easy phone call, and the next thing I knew, I had a call from this repair company. The tech was professional, on time, got right to his work, didn't waste time, and pleasant. He replaced the dryer's bearings. What he fixed did not totally silence the machine, but it is as good as it was two years ago noise-wise.

    I love American Home Shield. They were amazing in the past so I decided to do it again. I had an electrical claim, a plumbing claim, and a dryer that went out. They handled everything quickly and well. They got somebody out there. I had tried another company before and I had to call myself. They gave me the phone number to call the people. But with American Home Shield, the process has been smooth. If it's not fixed right the first time, they'll send somebody back out to make sure that it's taken care of.

    Everybody that comes to my home to fix anything has been great. All the contractors that they use are very professional and always on time. They always check in with you to make sure that they're doing what they're supposed to be doing. I've told 10 people about American Home Shield and 8 of them have signed up. My suggestion is possibly in the future, American Home Shield should look into having a referral program for their customers. They’ve been around a long time and have never done it. For 8 people out of the 10 I told to get it, that’s a lot of people.

    My Kitchen Aid microwave had an electrical fault and blew out in March 2021 (Toll Brothers). The initial review stated I overcooked my food and was my fault (preposterous). Second review stated the panel was faulty and needed replacement. With numerous calls still no solution. The company meant to fix was to receive the parts back in April they and I can't get a hold of the company. If you can't fix then replace unit is the mantra. That is obviously false. Yet every month subscription fee is dutifully paid. I am going to soon bite the bullet as it seems I would be better off paying for my microwave replacement. Never AHS!

I wish American Home Shield could improve the number of scenarios because when I do other, they have to call and ask what's going on. Other than that, when the shower stopped working, the tech went above and beyond to figure out what the problem was. He communicated effectively when he could come back and what the next steps were, as well as the agent at their location. She also followed up with a phone call. And then, he came back right when he said he would come, on time, and gave us some advice on what to do going forward. I had a contractor come out from an electrical company and they were great.

    I called American Home Shield on Sunday when I noticed an issue, and a technician was out on Tuesday morning. It was the freezer and he said that, normally, if the freezer isn't working properly, the refrigerator won't work properly either 'cause they go hand in hand. I lost some food but he was able to fix it. However, I did have an experience with AHS that wasn't so great. It was my air conditioner. They were offering some type of special to have your stuff checked and that didn't go so well because they charged me money. It was miscommunicated all the way around. The money was taken from my account but the service wasn't done. They did correct it but I wanted the $125 back.

    The cost of having to pay one fee versus several fees is good but I did ask American Home Shield to send a copy of what's covered. I know stuff is online, but I told them I have to read it in paper because there were some hidden things on that. I wasn't aware that it will be another charge based on what needed to be done to bring the AC up to code. Also, I was told one price but it ended up being another.

    Our refrigerator had an ice and water machine, and the mechanism was not working. The tech got that fixed. Meanwhile, the dishwasher was leaking through the sub floor below it, and the tech seemed to remedy the problem, but I'm a little concerned about it. However, this tech did a great job and American Home Shield is responsive. It’s good. The best benefit to having a home warranty is the service fee to get the problems remedied and not have to worry if it's going to be a $2,000 replacement.

    AHS is better than a lot of other companies. I left American Home Shield before and went somewhere else. I went right back to American Home Shield. They have always been good. But back in the past, they just send out people that have had low ratings. A couple of times, we've asked if we could get someone else and sometimes we can't because the tech has already been out. Sometimes, I just have to deal with it. The turnaround can also be modified but that can't be helped if they have to order a part. Also, I have to pay $100 per service when at one time, we were just paying 60. But I know that goes up with inflation every year.

    American Home Shield is a great investment. I got recommended from a friend and she's had hers for years. Recently, I called their customer service line for our air conditioner that wasn't cooling anymore. I got an email notification that a contractor was assigned to my claim. It gave all the information of that contractor including their name (US Air Conditioning and Heating), address and phone number where they can be reached. The contractor called and texted me. They came out to look at the issue and told me it was two different parts. They replaced four of those and it started cooling off when they left. We went out and when we came back, it never got colder than 75.

    We went out to look at the air conditioner again and the fan wasn't running, but you could hear it running. It was humming like it was trying to kick over and it never did. I called American Home Shield back and said the air conditioner wasn't working still. They said they'd send somebody back on Monday to check it. They did and the contractor said it was the fan motor that needed to be replaced. They replaced that and everything was good.

    AHS is quick to respond to my needs. The water outflow of my AC got blocked and the unit was overflowing in my attic. I called in the afternoon and the next day, the tech was here. Adam, the tech, was professional and he showed me where the problem was. He fixed it by adding another tube and making the outflow more elevated so it wouldn't overflow. He said, “If ever it overflows, the AC has got a safety valve. Once it overflows, it will automatically shut off.” He said the problem with the outflow was that it was lower than the valve itself so it never backed up to the safety valve. Having a warranty makes a lot of difference. I would have paid a lot more than my copayment if I didn't have one. My son was the one who has benefited more from this warranty. Several times, his AC broke down. His dishwasher broke down as well and since it was old, AHS just decided to replace it.

    The main water pipe comes in through the concrete block into the basement and from there, it's a single copper tube. It has a nozzle on it - the main shut off. From there, it goes directly to the hot water heater and the cold and so on. There's a valve in there that controls the water pressure in that line and it was making a racket. It's not supposed to do that. The techs changed the valve and reset the pressure to the maximum which we asked them to do.

    I've had good interactions with four people who have come through American Home Shield. There were two guys who had been to our place before and they had serviced our heating and air conditioning system a couple of times. We called American Home Shield and they sent those techs out. They determined that the whole system HVAC system was gone. So they installed a whole new inside and outside HVAC system. These were two really nice guys. I keep asking them every time I see them, "Why are you still doing this?” But they apparently love their business and they're gonna keep going as long as they can do it.

    Through AHS, I've gotten a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and HVAC system. When we've gotten trouble, I go through AHS and they contact the techs. Once AHS calls them, the techs are right on the job and are calling me right away. I initially started out years and years ago paying $55 a month. I now pay AHS 73-something. It's well worth it because I've had a refrigerator go out on me with all the food and no place to put it. That was a bit of a hassle though as there was a little language problem with their reps who couldn't understand what I was trying to get across to them. I finally got a supervisor. I ended up going to Lowe’s and buying one, and they reimbursed me for what they thought I should get. I paid $400 over what they gave me but I don't complain about that. I know they have their parameters. I just wanted a better refrigerator so I got one.

    I've also gotten a $4,000 HVAC system. I know what I’ve paid in every month, but by the same token, if I hadn't had that, that all would have been out of pocket. I'm a retiree, and I have a fixed income and no savings. So if something like that happens to me, it's a tragedy because I have to try to figure out where I'm going to get the money. Overall, I've had great service. It just depends on whether or not you think $73 a month is too much money.

    My sprinkler system is something American Home Shield's service doesn't cover. Water issue so many feet out from the house is not covered. I had to pay for that. Almost every summer I found a leak somewhere. My system is getting old. And the last two times cost me $400 each time. Also, some years I paid more premiums than I get in service, and other years I came out even. But someday when the appliance completely breaks down, it will be worth it.

    I wish AHS would do more maintenance type things for me because I still have to pay to have someone out for my air conditioner. Every spring I'm supposed to have it serviced and clean. I just did that, paid another service two months before the air conditioner broke last year. I wish I could just call that company and be sure they would come and take care of that. It would be nice to be consistent if I get a company that I like to always be the one that provides such service.

    The line in the back of the toilet was aged and broken. I had a geyser in my bathroom that just before I could get the water turned off, I had an inch of water in my bathroom and I was soaked.

    American Home Shield has been a great disappointment. They sent out two different groups when our compressor on our central air died. The first group came in and said that they recommend replacing the compressor, and they were willing to do it. The next thing you know, another person was sent out. They said that originally, the air conditioning unit was installed incorrectly and the claim was then denied. I called and asked for more explanation but got the runaround. I replaced the whole system myself because it was 100 degrees and I needed to get my family cold again.

    I've had other claims that they've come and done work on. Overall, the contractors that they tend to send are subpar in nature. 9 times out of 10, it takes multiple visits to get something done. Every time my dishwasher would break, I would tell them exactly what part because it's always the same part that breaks. A guy shows up without the part then two weeks later, he comes back with the part. I'm now without a dishwasher for three weeks. One time, I couldn't deal with it so I had called up a guy. He showed up, had the part in his hand and installed it. I'm ready to cancel American Home Shield.

The man who came said that a new circuit box is needed on the front of the furnace. He couldn't change that little box. Home Shield had to send somebody else. I haven’t needed Home Shield that much but they've always been really good. I've had them for over 20 years, and everything always went smoothly. I would recommend it to other people for their house.

    Recently, we had a bad pump on our dishwasher. We put in hardwood floors, and the repair man couldn't even pull out the dishwasher to replace the part. He had to MacGyver his way in there and he wasn't happy about it. He kept grumbling quietly to himself, but he got in there and fixed it. It’s been working great ever since. For what it's worth, it was an absolute pain in the butt for him to get in there and I would have grumbled even more than he did. If it wasn't for the repair man, we would have been buying a new one and I don't think it would have fixed the issue. I also don't know how we're getting another one in there without ripping the cabinets off, so he did us a double favor.

    American Home Shield's service has deteriorated. The people that they send out are not very good. They aren't very professional. So, it's not really fixing my problem, it's just delaying a problem until it becomes a bigger problem. Those who have repaired items in my house have not fixed them the right way. I've had plumbing fixtures that needed hundreds of dollars in re-installations after their people come. Also, their service is horrible over the phone. Their wait times are very long. I have a claim in right now for a water heater and they sent a person who was obviously drunk or high. These are the people that American Home Shield is sending out, the people that nobody else will employ.

    Techs fixed plumbing inside my house for a hot water heater previously. Their work leaked, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. It was the same company that AHS sent back. We're contemplating stopping the service with them because, for 10 years, we enjoyed it. But now, it's not very good. I don't know why you would pay for this. It might even be cheaper for me just to replace the items instead of using an insurance company like AHS.

    I called back Thursday ‘cause it rained again and my drain plugged again. They told me that it was within 30 days and they would call the plumber out again. So, I called him, told him what was going on. He said he would get here by Thursday. Today's Thursday and I've left him a voicemail. But he hasn't responded back to me. Spike is a great guy. He comes into work and buys parts all the time. I just wish he will get back to me on this matter so I can get it resolved.

    The first time I called him 'cause he hadn't responded back again, he came right over. He was right in the area. This time, I'm gonna call him again on the way home and see what goes on. If not, then I'm gonna give AHS a callback and tell them I need a plumber ASAP 'cause I've waited the whole week for this drain to get unplugged.

    I love the contractors of AHS. Perkins Plumbing does great. However, I would not recommend Freedom Plumbing who AHS called out first, 'cause that guy just messed up a bunch of stuff. I also would like to see AHS partner with more 24-hour customer service plumbers, 'cause there are things that need emergency plumbers and they don't cover that.

    I've had a little bit of trouble with the electrical out on my patio. There was a crack in the wire covering and the tech taped it up, and it's working fine now. Several years ago, we had a problem getting through to American Home Shield but they were overwhelmed. But now, you can go online and things are going much faster. I wish they could broaden the field of who comes to your house. I have my air conditioner serviced by another company that doesn't do American Home Shield work probably because they don't want to take a cut in payment or maybe they charge more than what American Home Shield wants to pay. I understand that. If I need to have something fixed, I got to go through American Home Shield to have someone come out and look at it.

    I made a mistake one time and went ahead and had an air conditioner fixed, and then it turned out that I had to report it first. I didn't realize that, and I was out $2,000. But that was my fault because I didn’t talk to them first before I had the repair done. I recommend them to people all the time. They're pretty prompt in sending somebody out. I've never had to wait very long to have somebody come out, and stuff does get fixed. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied.

    I wasn't happy on a couple of occasions that I had to use American Home Shield. When my kitchen faucet went out, they only wanted to give me 25 bucks for a faucet. The service guy was getting paid 70. I ended up buying a better faucet than what the home warranty was going to give me. That aside, my claim this time was actually really nice and I was really pleased.

    I was happy American Home Shield got somebody out the day after I called. They couldn't get hold of anybody the night I called and they told me that if I didn't hear anything, I was to call the next morning. I did and the girl I talked with was very nice and she helped me that Sunday. A guy came out that Sunday and they got things working. I got stuff taken care of. I don’t like it hot and I was happy I have air. The guy told me that the missing parts weren't covered by my home warranty and I understood that. I'm going to have him take care of that issue. But I first need to get rid of the mold issue that was caused by the leaking water.

    I had a water heater issue a few years ago and technicians came out and took care of that right away. Although it wasn't like the commercial where it was within hours of my call, it was a day or two later. That was okay. We worked around it. I stayed with American Home Shield but I thought about looking around last year. Consumers should look at the price as well as what you get for your copay or deductible. Those are important things.

He said he would have the little pipes in the jets screw out and blow some CO2 through it, and that usually solves the problem.

    American Home Shield has already sent two vendors for my air conditioner problem. The first one was able to tell me that there's something wrong with the compressor. The second one told me that it's not fixable. I called and asked what the solution was going to be for my issue and last Monday, AHS was gonna send another vendor which is coming on Friday. The vendors should disclose if my issue is fixable and report that to American Home Shield.

    This is why I'm kind of frustrated. I called American Home Shield, and they said that that's all the information they have. They're not offering me a new unit and they're still diagnosing it. From the two vendors, I don't know what they've decided. I'm disappointed with what's going on but I'll wait for what the third vendor is gonna say. If they say my unit needs to be replaced or if it's fixable, it's fine with me.

    Other than this, I'm happy that some of my claims have been taken care of. Even so, AHS should be more diligent with handling claims. They're supposed to follow-up on the vendors on their end because it's really frustrating customers. It's a waste of money that they've been sending all these vendors and paying them but they're not doing the work. For them to send different vendors and not get an answer is creating frustration on my part because the job needs to be done right away but it's taking a long time.

I had somebody come and do the modifications. Having American Home Shield replace my oven was more than paid for by the monthly. I was thinking about not paying for the coverage anymore because it's so much per month but one visit like that pays for a year of payments so it's well worth it.

    Ron is the top guy that AHS sends out that does a lot of work. He's always working late overtime. I had trouble in my utility room where the hot water is and Ron ran to the store, got the part and fixed it. Some time ago, I had electrical problems in my living room and Ron came with the guy. That guy fixed some light fixtures in my house and a ceiling fan. He didn't do the job right. The blade was shaking. He also fixed an outlet in my living room. When he saw that outlet and how it was old and how the wiring was old, he should have done all of the outlets in the room. But he replaced just that one.

    So now, I'm on an extension cord from the good outlet that he did. I need to call him again but that's gonna be another $100. Other than that, I've always gotten Ron and he is solid. He's very professional and nice. I've had to call if it's not Ron who comes. The other tech could never replace something that should have been replaced and I’m hurt about that. Ron has to come behind them and clean up the mistakes that they make when they send someone else.

    Also, AHS changes out stuff too fast. They should just take more time to try to fix things. I'm wondering if I even want to just change from AHS and go with someone else. Because I gotta call and pay another $100 to get this problem fixed in the living room. I've probably paid 300 when some of the problems could have been fixed the first time. With AHS, it takes too long to get anyone. When I gotta keep calling and the techs are so far out and they're so busy, it's hard to get something soon. That's what makes me not call them too - that and not knowing if I'm gonna get Ron.

    We bought the house in ‘17. We moved in, and immediately, the AC heating unit went out. So, we got American Home Shield right there. It paid for itself. But we've had several other incidents after that. One company in particular, if I could give them a negative star rating, I would. Recently, we had a plumbing issue. My wife was telling me that the garbage disposal was going out and it was making some funny noise. So I called, set up the appointment and a guy came over. I usually try not to watch people because I'm not an expert at their job, so I figured that they should be able to do it. But don't try to play me like I'm dumb either. That's what he tried to do. I work from home so I was working on my computer and I was not that far from the kitchen. He brought this penny in that was folded up like a taco, but the ends met. He said he got this out of the garbage disposal.

    I was like, “How'd you get that out? You didn't open anything up. If you got it out of the top, it would have been chewed up and not folded.” He said, “Well, I'm gonna call American Home Shield, see if they're going to approve this.” I don't know if he did or not, but he called me back saying that he left a message. I didn't answer the phone. I was away from my phone. He said that AHS didn't approve it. So, he tried to get me a $300 garbage disposal. They were gonna put it in. I was like, “No.” That penny threw me off.

    So, I called Home Shield. They said, “We're gonna send another company. You don’t have to pay for it.” That was when Mounts Plumbing came out. They were excellent. All it was was that the shaft was frozen. The guy gave me a wrench. He said, “Next time this happens, just move it until it comes free and then just keep working it and it should be fine.” I've been promoting American Home Shield. I've been like, “Hey, they fixed everything that was broken so far.” I still recommend them because they're not beholden to what somebody else does.

    The tech fixed the washer on his first visit. But I noticed afterwards that I could barely wash. The main thing that I noticed when my washer wasn't working right is the towels wouldn't get dry. When they spin, they were still really wet. So, it took a lot on my dryer. When I got back home a couple days later, the dryer wasn't working. It worked enough until the new dryer came. But my clothes weren't spinning. It wouldn't transition to the next cycle. It would wash and when it rests, I would get an error. So, I have to try to do a spin cycle. But I don't blame American Home Shield for what happened to my dryer because I was putting wet clothes in there and it didn’t start acting up until after I bought the new dryer. So all of it was resolved. I got money back for the washer and I bought a new dryer. I'm very happy with it. When the AC acted up, American Home Shield offered help with it, so I'm happy with that.

    Our AC was blowing out hot air, and it froze over on us. We submitted a claim on Thursday, and the repair company came out that Friday afternoon.

Overall, there is comfort in having a home warranty and you know that you have a second option as to when major appliances break down. You can call someone to come in and fix it, and it's not going to be a major cost when you call to have someone come out to service or look at your appliance or whatever is going on in your home.

    AHS is definitely helpful when it comes to replacing and repairing your appliance. The monthly fee is not that bad at all, too. Recently, the technicians came right out after I told them that the refrigerator was broken. They came out twice for that. They did not hook it up when American Home Shield paid to have it hooked up.

    I reached out to the company. The company said after they do that, they had nothing else to do with it, so I would have to reach out to the American Home Shield. They said they were going to send a second request.

    We wanted to get the AC unit checked out and the technician who came was amazing. He did a great job. He said everything was shooting nice and good. It was also when the bad weather came in and it was 71 degrees outside. He said even if it's not, it should be cooling good and if we have any issues, to give him a call and he'll come back out again. The warranty is well worth it. If you got to pay $800 a year, at least you got peace of mind in case something goes wrong.

    The dishwasher wasn’t draining. The contractor did diagnostics using the virtual tool. The technician asked me to do a bunch of checks through their system. Based on that, the guy gave their conclusion that the pump that drains the water from the machine on to the sewer system wasn't working. So, they ordered the part. It was delivered within a couple of days. The only issue that I had was the actual scheduling of the technician took 10 days, during which my wife and I were dishwashers. Apart from that, it was seamless. The guy came in. He knew what he was doing. He was respectful of my floors as to not to scratch them, because I did them recently. He did his job, cleaned up by himself and went out.

    The washing machine was leaking water through the door 'cause it's a front load. AHS sent one guy out. He said it was one thing, and he went ahead and fixed that. And it worked okay for about a day. Then it started leaking again, so I called them back. They sent another guy out. Something else had gone wrong with it. He went and fixed everything up, checked it all out twice. Now, I have no problems with it. AHS has done great by me. They got me a new dishwasher, fixed my dryer, fixed my washer, fixed my range.

    The techs came out for my cooktop. At first, they changed it and they broke it when they ordered the part. But it was an accidental break. They also weren't sufficient in giving me feedback about the problem and it took months for them to get back to American Home Shield. The communication between me and American Home Shield took forever but even during that difficult time with the repair guy, American Home Shield was very supportive. They made multiple calls to them to reach out to get the information they needed to proceed with the process of repair or replacement. But they were unfortunate. That time was around the holidays, so I don't want to condemn them too much. It was also during COVID and our whole environment was chaotic.

    Other than that, it's very comforting to have American Home Shield. I've had other home warranties before I got back with American Home Shield and I've had nightmares through and through. I got stuck in a contract for five years with another company and it was not what it was set to be, like American Home Shield. Unfortunately, my appliances all went out at the same time and I was without my double-oven due to COVID and other circumstances. But it was a load off knowing that American Home Shield took care of the estimate, the pricing, and the replacement for me. And although you don't get the 100% reimbursement and you pay the difference, it's really on your budget than having to pay out-of-pocket for a new appliance that had to be replaced. The customer service is amazing, too. They're very patient with you on the phone and they try to get you the answers in that phone call. If they didn't, they called you back.

    The first time that the contractor came out for the AC, the fan motor was bad. They replaced the capacitor and a few things. When we went back a couple of weeks later, the house was 95 degrees. The AC wouldn't come back on again. So we had to call them back out and then they found that when they did the repair the first time, they pinched the wire and it shorted out and it tripped the breaker. So they had to fix the wiring. It was a five-minute fix for the tech. But I wish the service with AHS was a little bit quicker. The contractor was pretty quick to come out the first time. But it was a miserable two days waiting for them the second time.

    There were three appliances that needed fixing and I had three different vendors all at the same time. I called American Home Shield and asked to get an approved vendor. I got an email with the vendor’s name, and it said I could potentially do a video prep meeting. Some vendors did that. I called them directly to schedule the appointment. All three that I used promptly called me back saying that I submitted the claim. It has been crazy because we're in the middle of the fires. Most of the vendors were evacuated, so it was not done a typical process.

    The garbage disposal was jammed. The tech that came showed me how to fix it so if that happens again, I could probably fix it myself, which I was very impressed with. Because usually, they want to make more money. He was friendly, helpful and timely. And considering that his office had been evacuated and he still came and helped me, I was thrilled with the service. In buying a new home, American Home Shield is a good thing to have.

    I thought my kids pulled something, but the first technician that came checked the overhead door and said that over time, it just goes out. He was great. The second technician was nice, but I didn't interact with him a lot, ‘cause I worked at home. I left my 18 year old son out there, if he needed anything, to let me know. The repair was very good, and the only thing I didn't like was he left the big old bar there and didn’t inform me. I thought he would take it (usually, they do).

So, that's the only thing my husband was really leery about. But I explained to him that AHS covered more than these other companies. Recently, the air conditioner was making a lot of noise, and then it went completely out. When the guy that AHS sent came out, it was really quick. He found what the problem was.

They came back out a second time because once they fixed the leak, then the air conditioner was not cooling like it should. The repair man checked the charge on the air conditioner and it needed to be charged, so he charged it. Now, it's been working fine. He was very professional and knowledgeable.

    American Home Shield replaced the microwave and on the 25th, they're gonna replace my refrigerator. The tech did an outstanding job. I wish all the appliance people were like him. He knew his business. He gave a time and a schedule and he was here. He did the work himself. If you have a problem, you call him up and he comes right back to recheck it. He would fix it if something went wrong. Mainly, he was close to the house, too, which was good, but I didn't know him until he was sent here the first time. He's been here a couple of times to fix the refrigerator and finally, he said that it couldn’t be fixed. So, now, AHS is going to replace it.

    I used AHS for electrical, too. I called them and they sent a guy out who was able to fix it right then. I haven't had a problem since so, they sent the right person. Sometimes American Home Shield will assign somebody, but then the person would say they couldn’t do the work. So, you have to call them back and they have to reassign. But that's not on them as much as it is on the technician that says they do this work and then they find out they don't do that part of the work. On the refrigerator, the guy called and told me he was coming out. I told him what the problem was and he said that they do refrigeration work but they don't do that part, which is seal work. AHS sent out Brooks Appliance and it was fixed. It worked for about six months and then, the refrigerator had something else go wrong. It was an LG so, I told AHS that if they were giving me a replacement, I do not want an LG.

    Appliance 911 sent out Bobby and he has been great. He is an excellent source of technical expertise. He found a number of different issues with my appliances and got them ordered and replaced. Everything seemed to be great. I was super happy. They needed to replace the motor to the icemaker in my freezer. They did a great job with that. They replaced the motor to my microwave oven, which needed to be replaced since it wasn't working. So that was a great job as well. They replaced the lining to the freezer door. It's working great. They also took the upstairs washer and looked at it. They saw there was a problem with the shock absorbers, which needed to be replaced. He got the parts and now it no longer rattles throughout the house when I'm on the spin cycle. All four of those parts were very sorely needed and very much appreciated. Bobby was Johnny-on-the-spot and very fast with all those four pieces.

    Last week, I called Bobby and said that the water is still under the refrigerator. He said, "Did you follow the instructions to do the 24-hour defrost?" I hadn't done it to that extent. I defrosted it a little bit, but not the whole 24-hour cycle. So I agreed to do the instructions that he was giving me. But when I did the instructions, I saw there was no change in the water. I have been calling Appliance 911 three times in the past three days to try to get somebody back out here and left messages. But I haven't heard back. I would like to get some kind of a resolution on this water that it continues to be a slip hazard.

    As for American Home Shield, if I am going to be told that something is closed, I'd like to be aware of it rather than being surprised by it, like I was with the HVAC system issue with 210 Granite Mist. When I followed up for over an hour last week in trying to get some service done there, and being told one thing and then learning something else about, they said, "Oh, yeah. We got a call saying the coil was going to be replaced." But then they said, "No, actually the contractor never said that. The contractor, in fact, just recommended a cleaning." When I get those kinds of misunderstandings, I get less satisfied.

    I'm extremely dissatisfied with American Home Shield. A lot of times, I'm surprised in a not so good way that things are not covered. Because I am under the impression something is going to be happening, and then it gets misinterpreted. I even have a specific recording of a phone call I made that lasted over 40 minutes, where I've been advised that they were going to replace the evaporation coil for the HVAC. I told them to send it to me in an email and put it in writing. But they didn't do that. So I'm paying out of pocket $425 for something I thought was going to get replaced and covered by American Home Shield. It was not the first time that this happened.

    I called in as I was trying to submit two claims at once, but the representative told me that I was unable to do that because they were in two different categories so I wasn't aware of that. I was having an issue with my garbage disposal working. Initially, 2020 Plumbing was supposed to come out later in the day but they arrived earlier around 2:30 and fixed it even though I told the person from the company that I was not available. They also offered suggestions to keep up the maintenance of the product. I've taken that into account and have had no concerns since.

    Previously, I had an AC unit claim. It was 90-plus degrees and it took the contractor about a week to come out. They thought it was just one part, the part was not functional, and so they recommended to replace the whole unit. That took four weeks without air and I have small children at home. Just recently, I logged a request for my refrigerator. The contractor reached out to me and confirmed the date. But then they did a no call, no show, and I didn't find out till Sunday. The communication, the promptness, and the turnaround times with the contractors could be a little bit better. But then paying a small portion of what an actual repair may cost is the good part of the program. Things happened and so I'm thankful that I have it.

    We had three faucets that were leaking and when Coffey Plumbing came out, they repaired two but they didn't have a part for the third. While they were working on it, they somehow knocked the spigot loose, which I fixed myself. They said they would be back out to fix the third one and I've kept calling when they were going to come many times. They said they got the part in and that they'd be here on Tuesday. We called them and they didn't show up. I even told Coffey to just leave the part on the front door and I could put it on. But they said they'd be out.

    I also called American Home Shield and when the call center answered, they would put me on hold and call Coffey. And these were during normal business hours. They would say that Coffey would contact me but they never did, so then I would call them. They would give me a date and a time for them show up, but they didn't. Then, the last couple times, I would call AHS and they’d put me on hold, call Coffey again, and Coffey wouldn't respond to them. So, they sent AAA out and they went straight to my house in 15 minutes. They had the part on hand and they fixed the faucet.

    Before that, we had another issue with a leak on a drain and a plumbing company out of Trumann, Arkansas came. The tech said it would cost me 800 and something out of my pocket, that there was no access to the drain, and that he got to cut the shower out. So, I went out, got the parts, and fixed it myself. But I called and told AHS what happened, and they ended up reimbursing my $75 initial fee plus tax.

    Every time I've worked with American Home Shield or any of their contractors, it's always been good. Sometimes it's hard to get through. But I don't mind it at all. It's good insurance to have. It's peace of mind even if I never knew if I've gotten my money's worth out of 17 years of the annual contract. Recently, the refrigerator was not cooling properly. The technician did diagnostics and then cleaned out the compressor to make sure that it wasn't that. We waited a couple of weeks and it wasn't cooling properly. When the technician came back out to check it, it still wasn't cooling properly. I'm assuming that the refrigerator is going to be replaced because it's not fixable but I haven't heard back from American Home Shield.

    A couple of years ago, I paid extra for the AC pipe to drip outside because it is always tearing up my kitchen ceiling. This time, things were leaking in the kitchen and dining room. I had water going everywhere because that pipe was backed up. The tech got out fast. I'm scared to get my ceiling fixed because every time I want to get it fixed, I go through water dripping. But this time, he showed me that I could suck it out with a wet vac. He said, "Try to do at least once a month and suck the thing out." Since my appointment, I've bought a wet vac. I was greatly satisfied. He showed me everything. I brag about AHS and tell my friends they need a home warranty. I've never had any issues with this company.

    I spoke to the contractor the day before they came out for the air conditioner. They said they would be out a certain time and they arrived at that exact time. The technician was amazing. He had the air conditioner up and running in less than 40 minutes. I also had a claim for the refrigerator. Samsung refrigerators are the absolute worst and they're supposedly the unfixable refrigerator. But the technician that came out fixed our refrigerator and he knew what he was doing. We have never had a problem with it since. So with both claims we had, everything went 100% amazing.

    American Home Shield did great on getting someone out last Friday and it seemed to work. Then I had more flooding than usual two days later, and it took forever on the phone with American Home Shield. The phone system is not good. I spent a total of seven hours on the phone trying to get to somebody to get a recall visit and you can't do that request online. If you request service online, you have to pay again. But this issue was the same thing, so I didn't have to pay the $100 again. The last girl that I talked to was wonderful. But some of the reps were not great. It's so tedious on the phone. You waste so much time on the menu and then when you finally do get somebody and they aren't very knowledgeable, it's hard.

    I'm a single parent and I don't know anybody that can come and do a quick fix for me. American Home Shield's cost is affordable and even the service cost that I pay is great compared to what I will pay out of pocket if I didn't have it. They're a security blanket for me, I appreciate them, and I ain't gonna drop them or leave them. It's just that some of the people working for them don't really satisfy their customers.

    But on my last claim, they let me know that they were reaching out to someone. They also emailed me back that they found someone. The people called me the same day and that was really fast. Then they came the next day and I never had that happen as it would normally take a few days. They have improved. I let other single moms know that it's good to have, even though they don't use it every month or what have you. When they use it, they have an assurance to know that they're going to get connected with someone that is professional. The person comes and if he can't fix it, he will replace it. I had that experience when an item broke. The company couldn't repair it and so they replaced it.

They’re supposed to tell us what to do so we don’t run into a problem. They ought to tell us beforehand that in the beginning of the season, we need to do the checking of our air conditioning so if we have a bigger problem, then we don’t have a problem with that.

    We've had several people come out a couple of times with the same company. We had a claim on our swimming pool because it wasn't heating. It wasn't getting any heat to it at all and it wasn't catching on the flame. It looked like something was wrong with the heater system itself. The dials would not connect and change over. The tech said it wasn't giving it the power from the flames. He looked in and said it looked like something was burnt in it. It was an older model too.

    We called in our claim to American Home Shield like we usually do. The claim was about the pump that wasn't working, but the tech from Clearwater found out it wasn't a pump. It was a gauge, the remote on the pool, and then we called again. When he came out, he found out also that the heater was broke. It was burnt up. So, he showed us everything that was wrong. We had to put another claim in for the heater. So, Home Shield sent Barry at Arctic Blue out and they came out and fixed that.

    The guy that came out with Clearwater was very thorough. He explained stuff and even showed us how to do the handheld equipment better than we had learned before from the previous people that showed us. He was very respectful. He said he'll just put in the information and paperwork about what his claims were and what he saw was wrong, and then we'd have to hear something later from Home Shield. Overall, it's great to have the security that we do have with Home Shield because the price of trying to buy new stuff could be overwhelming. So, by keeping up this insurance, it helps us feel a little bit safer about our home and protecting it.

    The tech that came for the garbage disposal did a great job. He was fast, efficient, answered a question and was in and out. We also have a claim for the dryer, the microwave, and the freezer. The microwave is still in the process of being fixed, which has been almost a month and a half now. He fixed the freezer. With the dryer, I was trying to communicate with him that, "It's either overheating. But it turns off right when I start it, and then it's hard to turn back on." But the communication wasn't there. He was a little hard to understand. I don't think he understood what I was talking about. It was difficult talking to him. I know that the woman on dispatch said to give him a call and they have a translator, but that's really frustrating to have to deal with. He's been out at least four times for the microwave, and has taken different parts of it, and keeps coming out with the wrong part. It's frustrating on that front.

    AVA Appliance Repair is not a company that I would want to work with again. It's the second time I've had to use that company with this. The appointments for them are weeks out. Every time they've come to fix the microwave, it's been two weeks before they can even come back to see if the part fits. Then it's another two weeks for them to schedule to come back out and see if the next part fits. If it doesn't, it's another two weeks to schedule out. They don't have any priority of people. They have been really horrible for the second time in a row. It was just really disappointing. Maybe AHS can reevaluate the contractors that they use for certain things, that would definitely be a reason why I would want to use AHS.

    The water heater in our rental house went out on a Saturday night. Pruitt's Plumbing showed up on Sunday afternoon and pulled it because the bladder inside was busted. We had to wait for American Home Shield to approve it, which was supposedly 24 hours. I got an email on Tuesday that the water heater was approved. However, they didn't have technicians available till Friday to install. Then they told us we had to pay $425 to make the water heater installation to code. I'm a general contractor so I get it, but then it's wrong because American Home Shield or the plumber should have that in their bid. In the City of Phoenix, you have to change the water line and the gas line, which I get the gas line, but the water line I would never change. That should have been in American Home Shield's price. But then I paid the 425 as I need it to get done because it's been a week without hot water for my tenants.

    The plumber showed up and said that we had to pay another $145 to replace a ball valve and an air chamber that's on top of the water heater. They told me last Tuesday that the 425 was for the water line, gas line, and the air chamber included. I then asked him why he cut the ball valve off. It will never go bad and will be the same as it is in 10 years or 100 years. He said that they always do that. I told him that I won't pay him $145 more and I needed the air chamber. He said he didn't bring one and so he couldn't install the water heater. I told him he could install that without the air chamber and then come back and install the air chamber later. He said that he would have to charge me a trip charge. I then went to Home Depot and bought an air chamber for $45 and brought it back to him.

    The company called to tell us that we owe them $145. I told them to talk to American Home Shield. I'm not paying that for something that they are providing that I had to go buy and come out. I would never hire those guys again. They were shaking down old people because they were in their house and I had no choice but to get a hot water heater. I paid 575 bucks with the service call. I could have had my plumber go out and change the water heater for $700 on that Sunday and been done, not wait six days. But other than that, the heating guy fixed it, moved on, and didn't ask for extra money.

    We also had a bad ice machine in the refrigerator and it took about three weeks for the contractor to fix it. But again, it was just an ice machine that the water line was clogged. It wasn't a big deal and the renters could always buy bagged ice. With the air conditioner claim, Above Par came out within a day and fixed the coil or the motor that was bad. The tech went out for his struck, got the parts, came in, fixed it, and was on his way.

    I was going to cancel American Home Shield's service this year because it seemed to me like all I was doing was calling a plumber and I was then paying another $100 for him to be here. The price went up, too. I went ahead and kept it this year, but I will certainly look at it next year, especially if the price goes up again because I'm paying 60-some dollars a month, and I can certainly pay a plumber to come to do what they did. So, I am thinking whether it's worth it or not. The people that they have are very good. They come on time. They do what they're supposed to do. It's just the cost is getting to me. I recently had the AC worked on. They had to replace the thermostat. It was an excellent company. I had to pay to stay at a motel for two nights because I have a heart condition and I can't stay in a un-air-conditioned place.

    American Home Shield is good to have. I used it when my glass front door blew up. I got a service person out and the problem was addressed okay. I used my home warranty service mostly for my plumbing problems and I didn't care for many of the plumbers. Other than that, the contractors are okay. People considering a warranty service should know that they have to pay the fee upfront whether they like the company or not. You pay the $75 first before American Home Shield dispatches anyone. For reimbursements, you have to buy your appliance first then they would reimburse you. I was surprised about that.

    My complaint has been the same thing, that the AC is not cooling, but I had to pay the copay twice. We've placed our fourth call with American Home Shield in two months regarding our unit. But I understand the process, that they have to eliminate everything before they can determine if the unit needs to be replaced. Every time, what happens is the temperature is not cooling. It has been three different companies.

    The first time they came out, which we paid the deductible, the tech said he thought it was the motor. They replaced that, but then he said that motor locked up. He had to order another one, and placed that one in. It worked for probably a week before it was not cooling again. When the next rep came out, he added Freon and ran a couple of tests. He called someone else in from his company and they decided that it may be the electric board. When he left, it was working but I had to call them six hours later.

    I had to pay the copay again because some time had passed, even though it was the same reason. A rep came out the other day. He replaced some little round thing that connected the board to the air conditioning unit. He was in the process of leaving, saying that everything was fine but before he could get in his vehicle, he said the whole electrical panel went out. So, we've been waiting but they are able to finally come and install tomorrow.

    We had three major leaks under our sink, and my husband fixed them all. The switch for the dishwasher for the water was in the off position and we did not know that. We thought the motor was gone on the dishwasher so the gentleman from Angel Appliances Repair came in, opened the cupboard and saw immediately what the problem was. He was in a clean uniform and so polite.

    I was pleased with Abby's Heating & Cooling coming over. Our AC wasn't working and it was unclear what the problem was. We had tried replacing the filter, and that didn't work. The technician took a look at everything and gave me some advice about what to replace at what point. But it ended up being an easy fix. The furnace unit was flipped off, and we don't know how it happened, but we wouldn't even thought to look. All he did was flip it on and that helped us out.

    It was a good turnaround. My husband did the claim online on the weekend when it wasn't normal office hours. We were told that Abby's was going to reach out to us. They reached out Monday morning and were able to come by 9:30. We've been really pleased with American Home Shield. We thought we might need it in February for our furnace. But we got it tuned up, and we were wondering if they would find something because it's old. They said, nope, it was good, so we didn't have to make a claim for that. But we know that we could if we needed to. It's nice to have that peace of mind that someone can come out for a reasonable price.

    The ice maker of our refrigerator wasn't running at full capacity. The techs from Cal Valley were good. We had to wait for the part and then when they had it they came over and installed it really easily. It was very simple. I was having to use a separate ice maker that we had. Now, I don't have to do that. We had an experience with another home warranty and they were a scam. I started asking around and I only got good reviews for AHS from every contractor I talked to. I've been extremely satisfied especially in light of the last company I was with. I've already recommended American Home Shield to several people - one of whom got rid of their other home warranty and went with AHS. I have nothing but the best to say about this company.

    I'm enjoying American Home Shield’s service right now. At one time, I wasn’t. But now, they have been living up to their agreement with me. We had some problems in the past. I had a plumbing problem where a pipe busted my wall, and they were aware of it. They tried to get someone to come in, but they could not get anyone. So, they asked me if I could find a plumber and they will reimburse me for it. I found the plumber who fixed the problem. But American Home Shield refused to pay me because they said I did not follow instructions, which I never heard. The instructions they gave me was to call them before I let the plumber fix the problem and let them know what it was and what it was gonna cost to fix it. I never heard that part of the conversation. So, they did not pay me for $400 worth of damage done to us.

    I was expecting to get reimbursed but that never happened. I paid $75 out-of-pocket, which would’ve been my deductible, for the plumber to come. Then I had to pay the bill. I got kind of hostile and mad about that because I didn't get my money back. But they convinced me to try them again, and I did. I had an incident where my air conditioner went out of my house. I paid the $75 for the air conditioner man to come, then they had to replace the air conditioning unit. I had to pay $495, which was a lot less than paying the $4,000 and some to fix the problem. So right now, I'm happier. A-US was superb.

    If people ask about American Home Shield, I will say, “Make sure you follow the instructions, but they are worth paying for.” As far as submitting a claim, I usually just call and tell them what the problem is. Then they tell me who the company is that’s coming in. They give me a phone number. If I want to call them, I can call them myself. They generally call them and let them know that there's a claim with that address. It’s good system.

    Our freezer wasn’t making ice. A nice and very friendly guy came out for the repair. But the freezer was still not making ice after he left so he had to come back. He said there was this flap that was up when it shouldn't have been up. We didn't know that since the last unit we had had a switch on it that said on or off. I didn't hit the flap or do anything with that. The guy flipped the flap and now, we're getting plenty of ice.

    Having a home warranty is good. We had new air conditioners put in and our installer told us that American Home Shield would give us a rebate because we have brand new units that are very efficient. They were covered by our warranty. He filled out all the paperwork and assured us we would get the rebate. He added that he works with American Home Shield all the time. That was in April. We called American Home Shield and they didn't know anything about the matter. That was a concern for us because we figured that into the price of the air conditioners. We were talking about $1,300 so it was a lot of money.

    I'm an agent Realtor and I've been using American Home Shield forever and ever. I've used them a couple times since I got mine on my personal house, and I have them on several properties. I really like sellers to try to get that when we list, just in case something goes wrong during the listing. It is also good for the buyers because that gives them some protection afterwards. I like that I can add the extra things to it like well, septic, or different things like that. I also like that the seller just pays the extra 75 when he gets a warranty for the buyer, and then if the buyer uses it during that time, it's only 75 to cancel.

    What I don't like with Realtors is that they don't pay us any money like they used to. I spent a lot of time selling those because that was another selling point. But we don't get anything from the company. I used to make $45 every time that I sold one, but they don't do that here. They stopped doing it before I came here, which was about eight years ago, in Nashville.

    I was the AHS Queen. Everything got a warranty. Then all of a sudden, they said they weren't gonna pay us anymore, but yet we needed to write down the serial number on this and do that. I told the man that owned the company he could forget it because I'm not working for that for nothing so I quit selling them. When I got back here to Florida and started working again, I just had to put it on the side because it's a good program. They have an agent that the company uses, but I'm not gonna send her business when I don’t get anything for it. I'll just call and arrange it myself. With my recent claim, Kasey's Appliance Service came out for our stove and I liked them. They were a great company.

But this last company realized what the issue was, and had come in and fixed it. They had to come out twice. The tech did his work and cleaned up, moved my furniture back, and left. I will refer Home Shield, which we have. They usually send out competent people where you don't have to keep making requests, and that it's one copay for the individual to come out and they fix our issue.

    Our air conditioner needed to be fixed and when the technician came, he had all the supplies that he needed.

But when another guy came for our oven, he didn’t have all the parts needed so he had to come back three weeks later. It was more a frustration over him not doing a good job. He had to bring somebody else in because he had to pull the oven out. But for the most part with AHS, anytime that we needed service, it’s been pretty fast service.

    The original claim was on the phone, and then I called in last Friday as soon as I got back. It was 97 degrees, and it was 92 inside my home. I turned on the AC and it did the exact same thing. So I called immediately and filed a new claim. American Home Shield said they would get back with the tech and have him come back out. The tech only did the work on my air conditioner less than a month ago. AHS was just going to call him back out because he has been in my house before. He has always done a good job. But it’s the exact same thing I told him about. He was there when I wasn’t. He called me when he was done with the work, and said all he had to do was change a battery in my room. I said, “You know, I don’t think that’s it. Because I could still turn the AC unit on with the remote, because it’s a wall unit. But you’ll have to stay there for at least a half hour because that's what happens, then it turns off and it won't come back on.”

    He handled claims before there and he knows my building. He thought I didn't know what I was talking about when I said he has to let it run for a half hour. AHS assigned it to another contractor that called me yesterday and said they don't go to my building. I don’t know why they sent it to a new contractor because I’m not paying another deductible of $125. I don’t care who comes, because this is the third time this has happened now. There’s obviously something wrong, and it’s not a leak anymore. Almost right after I moved in, they found the leak and said they fixed it. It’s Freon, so it should last a long time. There’s another problem with the unit. But the contractors do good on the regular and are very professional. I recommended AHS a couple of times to people, including my family.

    The interior of the system seemed to be working fine but it was loud and rattling noise on the unit outside on the compressor. I put a claim online and the thing I don't like about the website is you're kind of limited on the reason for the claim because of the dropdown menu, and you have to pick from a certain list of things. AHS could allow you to be able to customize the reason more than just picking from a list though there's a box where you can add comments. But as far as using the website to file a claim, I kind of like it because you don't have to call and wait on hold.

    I've had this warranty service before and I cancelled it because I wasn't happy with the customer service or the fact that when I filed a claim, they couldn't find me a contractor. They told me to call a repair company and they'd reimburse me but I didn't have time for all of that. I was paying them to send someone out but I had to do all the dirty work myself.

    Now that I'm in a different state, I thought to see how it works here. Maybe the service has improved and this time, AHS has been pretty responsive. It could probably be helpful to add information about a contractor like customer ratings. But I'm assuming that AHS does their due diligence and that the contractors are good if AHS is using them. I've had a plumber, an electrician, and an HVAC contractor and they were all good. One thing that I'm not really happy with though is the $100 deductible. That's a lot especially when a contractor comes out and realizes it's really not that big of a deal of a problem. I'm already spending close to $600 a year for this service. When I had this the very first time, the deductible was $45 but it keeps going up.

We have an AC issue where the condensation is coming down into my attic. The guy said that the connector where the condensation goes back into the plumbing had come out, and he wasn't sure if it would stay there because it wasn't something he would fix, it was a plumber that would fix it. He said that it had cracked. It must have vibrated out again.

    We need to call a plumber out. We haven't been running the air conditioner. If we don't fix it, then we're going to have another problem, which will probably be mold. We were trying to give it a chance in order for it to dry where the moisture had collected up in the attic. If the air conditioner goes out, then we'll just buy a new one. We're not going to spend the amount of money that American Home Shield wants in order to renew the contract. It's too expensive. It's not worth it to us. But then the two experiences that we've had with them were positive.

    We just moved in and we didn't have the proper keys. Sending the service request to American Home Shield was pretty simple. Somebody called me to make sure that I had received some paperwork in the mail and then she did the appointment for me over the phone. But my experience was not ideal because I was not told how the rekey worked. I had not looked up what a rekey was. I assumed that when you move in, where you call a company that gives you new keys and that they would change the locks. But I didn't have a key to the front door because the seller didn't give it to us, we just had the keys for the garage door and the garage opener and the gates around the complex.

    When the company that was going to do the rekeying was here, the tech told me that he needed the key to the front door. I told him that I didn’t have the key. So he said, “Well, then, I’ll have to charge you an additional $30 to do this whole lock here to match it to the one that you have going into the garage.” On the garage, there was a knob with a lock and one on top of the deadbolt. But unfortunately, I was also not given a key for that one. So it was a waste of money because I have three different keys now. The rekey was pretty much pointless. I ended up spending $110. If I would have known that's how rekeys work, I would have changed the locks myself and then, have them come and rekey everything by. So I’d have one key for everything.

    American Home Shield should have the companies that they use be more thorough with explaining to the customer whatever services are gonna get done. Because if I would have known about the rekey, I would have definitely changed all the locks myself. Also, the company that came out sent me a message about a week before and asked how many were we rekeying. The message said, “Please respond with your name, address, and how many you want rekeyed and are they deadbolts or whatever.” So I texted back and put in the information. I tried calling that number because I needed to ask if they offered security doors for the front door, but it would always go straight to a voicemail.

    The AC furnace unit would not cool the house. When it was running, it smelled like wires burning, so I was afraid. I shut the unit off and bought two air conditioners for the windows and then remembered that I have a home warranty. American Home Shield sent a tech out. He was rude to the girl on the phone that he was talking with. He was also bashing American Home Shield to my daughter saying that they never agree to fix anything. When they sent him back, he did an excellent job cleaning the furnace. He was not the neatest contractor in the world. But the unit is working perfectly now.

    I was having trouble with my garbage disposal. I had done the Allen wrench thing before to clear it up, but it still wasn't working. I didn't realize I had to do a reset. The repair company came over here to show me the reset button, then it worked fine.

    I'm lucky to have American Home Shield. Within a day that I sent the claim, a plumber came for a leak with the sink. He was awesome. He had a great personality about himself. He resolved the issue though at the beginning, he did have to wait for parts.

    On a scale of 1 to 10, I give American Home Shield about a 6. On my secondary house, I went with somebody else. American Home Shield tends to hire outside of the city areas so it's hard to schedule things when they're not very consistent about having local people. They sort of have people on their own list that they tend to call. They don't look at reviews unless it's their own reviews. But the most recent contractor that we had was really good. The ones prior to that were the ones that had been the real problems. They replaced our heater, damaged the walls, and never came back to fix the damage on the walls. I'm not real happy with the people that American Home Shield tends to hire.

    The front right burner of my stove wasn't getting hot. It had a hot surface light on constantly. I called it in to American Home Shield. Then I got an email saying that there was a contractor provider and they would contact me. They did contact me within that day. We did a video call and they diagnosed the problem and then ordered the part there. About a week or two later, they said the part was in, set it up, and they came out soon thereafter to replace the actual burner. I was able to use my stove again.

    Among the other companies, American Home Shield is much better than the others. We called in a refrigerator that was not cooling and they had AZ Appliance Repair come over. It was done in a timely fashion. They came on time and were prompt on keeping me updated. They took care of the problem and followed up. This particular experience was really good.

    We keep American Home Shield because it's a good safety net for big things. I recently had a plumbing issue that went very well. The guy that came out did a good job. One thing he did not do was there was a hole in the ceiling from the leak, and he was supposed to follow up and somebody was supposed to call and repair the drywall, and that didn't happen. My husband's been patching it himself.

    One time in 2010, we came home and our water was not coming out properly when we took a shower. We called and it was our well pump. At first, they were saying, "Oh, well, you're only covered inside your foundation walls." Nobody has a well pump inside of their foundation walls. A well is away from your foundation. So, once somebody knowledgeable acknowledged that, they took care of it. We paid our deductible and that was a big expense.

    You have to definitely be on your toes as far as somebody trying to get out of the claim. I ain't having that because I know better. My oven caught on fire one time. I keep my house clean, especially several years, I would clean myself. I know where my oven button is to clean it and it was kept clean all the time. The guy came out and immediately, he said, "Well, you didn't clean your oven." I said, "That's the marks from the fire in the oven." He just settled himself right down. All I had to say was, "That is from the fire, not from me not cleaning it." He did some more testing, and sure enough, it was the motherboard.

    I didn't really like the way that claim was handled because they recognized it was our stove, it wasn't us. But they were going to send it out somewhere and we would be stoveless for quite a while waiting for somebody in another state to rebuild the part for six weeks. So, there are some things like that that I don't think works. So, I went out, took the credit, and bought a new stove.
