ZERO STARS: I called to make a claim for Broken AC (in Florida 104 heat index) and after now 13 days still have no resolution. They failed to call me back. I made a complaint with bbb have not heard back. I called AHS to cancel my contract (well within the 30 day requirement) and request two $100 refunds for two contract service fees and the "agent" could not help me with that and said "someone from the 'cancellation department' would call me back by end of day". We are now past 24 hours and no call from anyone. They have "agents" who are located in the Philippines working from home (you can hear the cocks crowing in the background) who read from a tight script, and you can never speak to anyone in management. I spoke to three agents in one day all named "Jennifer". They will take your money and you can't even communicate with them. Zero Stars. Buyer beware. Do not use this Warranty company. I have email documentation of everything. Dr. Yolanda C. **

The heater was not working good. A guy checked it and said he wanted to do a test. He put the gas in it and it went bad maybe within a month. He came back, said there was one part he needed to change, ordered the part, and then he changed it. So far, everything is going very good. American Home Shield is the best. I had a different insurance before and it was not good.

I have AHS at my old house. Everybody was coming over for Christmas, and my double ovens went out. I was upset that they weren't going to be there till after Christmas. Of course, you want to bake cookies and all that. But whoever the lady was who handled the claim, she got me all taken care of before Christmas. So that's why I went back to American Home Shield when I bought my last house.
Then the whole air conditioning unit in my house in Texas shut down. Ally Heating let me know when they were coming and they were so patient, nice, and respectful. I had boxes from Amazon that I had to keep moving and they were like, "Don't worry. It's okay." They were two of the sweetest guys you could ever meet. The unit is blowing much better.

The light wasn't turning on. You turn the switch on and it would come on once or would come on and go off, or sometimes it wouldn't do anything. My husband thought he smelled something and we were afraid that there was fire issue
My husband did the claim and usually AHS texts and tells us the name of the contractor that's coming out. I guess there's a 24-hour window that someone sets up an appointment, and then the contractor comes out. I wish the contractor will come a little quicker though, but they did respond and told us when they were going to come out. They resolved the issue and I haven't had any problem since.

The same thing that was broken in my air conditioner this year is the same thing that had to be fixed last year. I'm hoping that it's not a yearly thing that I have to have somebody come out to fix it. The problem was the same part that has been replaced the year before.
Generally, I like AHS just fine. It's good coverage and service, and fairly affordable. It covers quite a lot of appliances and things in my house. Sometimes, though, I don't get the same contractor every time I have to use the warranty. I would like more consistency with who they use so they know what's happening or what has happened before and I don't have to update them on what's going on as much.
Thanks for reaching out to provide that feedback. I am glad the contractors followed through with the appointment that was set but happier for you that your issue has been resolved.

We used American Home Shield. It was great to have. If there were guests on our property and something went wrong, they were really good about getting somebody out there. We were really happy with the company that we had to replace the entire air conditioning system, which we knew was coming along eventually, but we were trying to make other upgrades first. It was a great experience. We got a substantial discount on the new system. They deducted the part that they would have replaced for free from the total amount. Everybody that they sent us was quality. I never had to say, "Hey, they won't return my call." Everybody did and it was a good experience.

Our air conditioner broke. I called AHS and they sent someone out and that person fixed it. It lasted about a week. I called again and they were gonna send the same person out, but they couldn't come as soon, so they found a different company to come out. They came out sooner, then they did a fix. It only lasted about four days. We called them, and they sent them out again. They officially said they couldn't repair it. So right now, we're in the process of waiting to see what they're gonna do.
So far, AHS has been really good about getting somebody out to repair it quickly. They also answer my calls every time and have knowledge about what's going on. There had been a few things that needed replacing and they were good about staying on top of calling me and getting the options to me for my replacement. The person I talked to was probably not from America. But generally, they're a lot more competent than a lot of places when you call.

I needed plumbing services and the plumber Home Shield sent out was horrible. The contractor was YAMAZ and the plumber showed up without any tools and said there was a leakage. He then made a report and I don't know how he came about that because the leak is supposed to be underground in front of the house. He gave the report to Home Shield and I got an email quoting that I would need to pay out of pocket 3,000-something dollars. The plumber didn't even do anything and just walked around outside the yard.
I had to hire someone outside on my own time because, apparently, Home Shield does not cover that. The plumbers I hired were absolutely flustered as to why the first plumber gave such a big quote. I didn't even have to pay that much for the second plumbers to repair this thing. Home Shield should not work with YAMAZ ever. I read the reviews that they have online in regards to YAMAZ and people that have been with Home Shield. I've also personally experienced trying to call the contractor and the communication was not there. I left messages and I had to call Home Shield to say I could not even get in contact with the person that they asked to come and fix what I needed to be done. When they sent him out, he only did part of the services.
I still haven't had my faucets inside my house looked at. They were gonna send YAMAZ again and I don't want them to come and fix the faucets. I'm still waiting for the services for my other three faucets that need to be looked at because no one has come out. I've been so busy trying to repair that, that I haven't reached out to Home Shield yet to tell them that no one has come out. I'm hoping that my future experiences with Home Shield will be good. That's just the first time and I would never recommend YAMAZ.

My refrigerant in an AC was quite expensive, but I was prepared for it. I also had a plumber come for a standard routine clog. He was very good, prompt, on time, and handled the issue quickly. Overall, American Home Shield's service has been good, but it's a lot of spam emails and calls for a service that I don't use very often. This is for necessity.

The refrigerator wasn't getting cold at all. I called American Home Shield and told them what the problem was. They gave me the number for the appliance place. The rep was very professional. He communicated what he thought was wrong. He said that somebody would come out the following week, and someone did. When he came out, he said the antifreeze wasn’t holding. So, that was when they said it had to be replaced.

I have had their service since we got our home, which has been about 16 years. We really hadn't had any negative issues with them up until eight years ago. We started having problems with our air conditioner on a regular basis. The same thing would break down every year. Three years or so of it, we started asking questions because it was like we were putting a Band-Aid on it instead of doing something different. This just went on and then it became a little bit more regular where it wouldn’t quite make it a year before things started happening. This past time in May, it was doing the same thing. It would go off and on, off and on, but this time, it was not coming back.
We started trying to get someone out here. American Home Shield sent someone the first time and we had a horrible experience with that company. I asked them if they could come back because the tech was supposed to call me before he came, but he didn't. So when he came and pulled up into my driveway behind my car, I was on my way out to go pick up my father in law. I asked him, “Is there any way that I can go ahead and run over and pick him up and come back? Because I wasn't expecting you just yet.” He said, “Oh, no. It's fine. It'll be just a minute. Just give me five minutes.” So he didn't move his car.
He went on back to the back so I've followed them back there a little bit, and he started opening up the deal and trying to look around. He said, “Oh, it might take a little bit longer than five minutes.” I told him, “Sir, I really need to go pick up my father-in-law. I have a doctor's appointment. He's gonna watch my kids for me and be here with you.” But he said, “Just give me a few more minutes.” So that was the start of the frustration with that appointment.
I ended up having to move my appointment because he was here for 30 minutes. I expected him to be here but I had made arrangements for my father-in-law to be here with him instead of me because I had a doctor's appointment. So I was in the house, trying to change my appointment and talk to my father-in-law and let him know I wasn't coming. When I got all of that done, I went back out and he said, “I think I got you squared away, but you guys are going to need some Freon.” I said, “Okay. Do we have a leak or something?” He said, “No, I don't think you have a leak.” His son was with him and he looked at him and said, “Dad, remember I was telling you there's one over here?” He looked at his son like he did not want him to say whatever he was saying. So that was suspicious to me but I didn't say anything. He said, “Well, no, because I took care of that. Don't worry about that. I took care of that.”
He said that everything was up and running and that we just needed Freon at this point. He added, “But your insurances doesn’t cover that so that would have to come out of your pocket. You need probably about two pounds,” which was $200. So I said to him, “Well, okay. We weren't expecting to do that today so we'll call you back in a couple of days or so and have you come back out and do that when we have the money for that.” He said, "Okay," and then I said, “But everything else is working fine.“ He said, “Yes.” I said, “So without the Freon, it just won't get cold or something?” But he said, “Oh, don't run it. Don't run it until you get the Freon.” He told me to not run it because if I did, I might mess up something.
I was fixing to walk away and then he said, “Well, is there not someone you can call and borrow it from?” I told him that I would discuss that with my husband. But that was personal, so I told him, “We'll let you know when we're able to have you come back out.” I came into the kitchen, did what I needed to do, and then he came to the door and said they were done. I said, “Okay,” and then he left.
I went over to the thermostat and turned it off, and went on about my day. That night, my husband got home and it was still hot in the house. He said, “I thought the heating and air guy was coming today.” I told him that he did. I told him that the guy said that we needed Freon and I didn't have $200 to give him today so I asked him that we would get back with him on it. My husband asked, “Did he show you that he fixed it? I said, “No. He told me not to turn it on so I didn't. He said that he fixed it and that it needed Freon.”
My husband went over and turned the thermostat on. We went over to a vent and nothing came on. The fan was not turning at all. My husband said that he wanted to talk to the guy tomorrow. So I texted him that night and asked him questions about what was done. I said, “I will contact your office in the morning but wanted to give you a heads up because my husband wants to understand what's going on.” The next morning, around 7:00, he called me. He said, “So you turned the unit on.” I said, “Well, I turned it off when you left like you advised me to. But my husband turned it on to see if it was working.” He then said, “Well, I told you not to turn it on.” I told him that my husband turned it on that night because he wanted to verify if it was fixed. He said, "Yeah, but I told you not to turn it on.”
My husband was listening to him and his tone because I had him on speaker. So he took the phone from me and introduced himself and said, "I turned it on because I wanted to know if it was fixed.” The guy said, “Oh, yeah, yeah. I fixed it. But I suggested to her that she shouldn't turn it on because it needs Freon.” My husband said, “I understand what you suggested to her. And she took your suggestion. She didn't turn it on all day. I can vouch for that because it was hot when I came home, which is why I wanted to know if it was fixed. So I tried to turn it on and it didn't come on.” He then said that we shouldn't have tried to turn it on.
My husband asked him, “Okay. First of all, let me ask you this question. Does needing refrigerant keep your unit from working?” He said, “No.” My husband knew that. He just wanted to see what he was going to say. Then my husband said, “Okay. So why isn't my unit coming on? That's why we called American Home Shield because it wasn't coming on. And then you came and it's still not coming on. And you're saying all it needs is refrigerant and that doesn't make sense to me.” The guy just went off. He started yelling and said, “You know what? I had you guys' best interest in mind. And if you don't think that that's what I'm doing, you can call somebody else.” My husband said, “Whoa, whoa. I'm not yelling at you, sir. Why are you yelling at me? What do you mean when you say you had our best interest in mind?”
The guys that he was looking out for us. He said he disabled it and he made it where we can't turn it on. He said he did that for our best interest. But my husband told him that it was not for our best interest. If he was looking out for our best interest, he wouldn't have done something without telling us and then tried to hide it and then tried to blame it on me for turning on the unit. If he was trying to look out for us, he would have explained to us what he was doing and why. He was tampering with our property. You don't just turn off things or disable things and not tell the customer.
American Home Shield did not handle it well. They told me they were required to get some sort of a report from the company before they can send me someone else. They said the guy had 24 hours to give them that. 24 hours went by and about a week and a half went by, but the report still hadn't been given. I'm calling off and on. This claim happened on May 19th and today is when they are sending someone out to put in an air conditioner. We have gone without air conditioner this entire summer.
Over the course of the time since May 19th, it's gone from, “Okay, we'll send you someone else,” and then it took weeks and not hearing back from them and I called them and they said, “Well, we can't find anyone right now. We're still looking.” Then I called back and they said, “Well, we can turn it over and you can look for someone yourself also.” I told them we can do that. So then I started looking for someone and then I contacted American Home Shield asking, “Have you all found anyone, too?” That was when they told me, “No. If we turn it over to you, that means we're no longer looking.” But no one told me about that.
I was getting people out here but no one wanted to work on it because they kept telling me, “This unit is old. The Freon is not made anymore. The Freon is too expensive. This is going to have to be changed. This got old refrigerant in it,” and all these different things. So I went back to American Home Shield and I said, "Listen. We've got to do something. I'm still paying you guys. And I'm still without air conditioner.” I finally got someone who said, “Okay. We'll try to find someone else.”
I ended up calling On Time, the company that is coming today, because we've used them before in the past through American Home Shield and I've always appreciated them. I asked them if they were still with American Home Shield and they said they were, but that they had them on hold because of how busy they were and they were short staffed at first. The rep remembered me and she said, “Let me talk to my supervisor and see if we can contact American Home Shield and at least do your job for you if we still have them on hold.” That was exactly what she did for me.
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you about your ongoing concerns.

We have American Home Shield on two homes. Everything has been great so far. But today is our first hiccup. We had our pool pump replaced, and the company couldn't hook up the electrical so I called back today to get an electrician and they assigned it to another pool company. And I said I needed an electrician because the pool company said they couldn't do it. And the other pool company said they couldn't do it. So I'm waiting on them to assign an electrician now. Other than that, it's an easy process. And having the warranty is peace of mind. I know if anything goes wrong, it’s gonna be $100. I can afford that when things break so it takes the stress out of everyday homeownership.

My toilet was constantly running and the first time Prime Plumbing came out, they did something. But it started running again and the guy had to come back and change another part in it. Then, my other toilet did the same thing. He said that they’re not making these parts like they used to. But everything is working now. Back in 2018, I had to get my furnace replaced and American Home Shield was very helpful with that as well. I got it taken care of. Something that the contractor was doing underneath the house wasn’t done like it was supposed to but we got that rectified. So, I’m good. I’m always recommending American Home Shield to people. I ask them if they have a home warranty and tell them that they need to have something in place in case they have an emergency.

My dishwasher wasn't draining. And knowing that I still have my insurance, I requested service online. Two days later, somebody came out and fixed my dishwasher and it started draining. I was able to get my money's worth there. So far, I've had a few contractors sent out and they've all been great to work with.

American Home Shield has served me well. I've had a lot of home maintenance items that I've had to deal with, and having them arrange the contractors and having the contractors come out has worked out well for me. I don't have to think about trying to arrange the various companies and get them to come out. They do all the scheduling automatically. If it's an appliance and it's covered, and they total out the appliance saying, "Hey, we can't make this repair," then they'll get me a reasonable replacement.
I've had an AC guy out. I've had a plumber out several times. I had somebody come in and diagnosed my washing machine, and they promptly said I needed a new one. They got me a new one. So, so far, so good. One or two of the techs haven't done the things that I really needed them to do. Maybe they were more handymen than they were specialized. I had one contractor come in to do the plumbing and he didn't fix the thing he needed to fix. I raised the issue again with AHS and I got a different company that came out the next time. The tech helped me a lot.

Mine's an air conditioner-furnace unit and I don't know how it works. But there's a filter that goes at the top of this unit of these two things.

American Home Shield is very slow. I have put in an order for a ceiling fan to be put in. It took them a month to get a ceiling fan for me to get inside my house. We were going to wait the heat wave.

If I had purchased it and gave me a discount on the ceiling fan, and they put it in, it shouldn't take that long for a ceiling fan to be put in. Because it was during a heat wave, and I had no ceiling fan in my bedroom. But the people that they hire are wonderful. Very nice people come in.

I like that the AHS reps get back to me in good time. I also like the ease of making a claim. And as far as the contractors go, they get back to me in a timely fashion. For my recent plumbing claim, the night that the tech came, which was four days ago, everything seemed to be good. And the next night, the plumbing was right back to where it was. Right now, I can’t use the bathroom because the toilet doesn’t flush. I've called the techs two times and I left a message both times but they haven't got back with me yet. I called them the next night and the day after that, but I didn’t call yesterday and I was going to call them again today to see if I can get someone on the phone.

After I moved in to the house and I got the AHS warranty, my water heater broke. I was told multiple times that there will be a vendor coming. A couple of days passed and then the vendor, which was supposed to come on a Monday, didn't show up. The same thing happened on Tuesday and I waited four days without having any hot water, neither in the shower or in the kitchen. So, that was unprofessionally managed and it took me literally tens of calls to AHS. Each time I called, it would be a different person that I was talking to. I asked it to be escalated to the lead of whoever I spoke to from the customer service. And after requesting multiple times, saying that there's an emergency and water was leaking all over the floor and in the garage where the water heater is placed, they finally did an authorization. There was no sense of urgency nor empathy shown from AHS.
They did the authorization where I can call any plumber of my liking and get that fixed. So, I did that and the person came and looked at it. It was also okay to work with AHS in terms of calling the AHS operation team and then give them the breakdown. The person called them right in front of me and gave all the details. But AHS rejected that again. They rejected that particular plumber's code and said that they were gonna send some other company that they contract with. They were going to do a second opinion on it and that was going to be on Thursday. I didn't even get a call from that company so I called the team.
I spoke to the authorization team and again, the person was not empathetic. The person said that it is the way it works and it is what it is and they cover half the costs of what the tech was quoting. I shopped around quite a bit among plumbers around my zip code and this was the most fair-priced plumber that I had picked. AHS said that I have to call the vendor and schedule a time or I have to wait for the vendor to call back. I was super annoyed and upset and I just paid $3,000 from my pocket and got it despite having AHS. AHS was supposed to cover this. Everything included, I spent a good 16 hours with them on calls and then figuring out everything. It was such a headache. I had a newborn at that time and for five family members, we all haven't showered for four straight days. So, it was a very bad experience that I had with AHS and I am definitely not planning to renew with them.

My AC unit is not working and American Home Shield sent me a company. They gave me a diagnostic and offered me to buy a new equipment. They gave me an estimate but I told them that I was gonna check with AHS and maybe another company, because it was expensive. They explained that AHS doesn’t do anything nor pay anything. It’s like a discount. American Home Shield gives it to people. When they gave me the estimate, it was even more expensive than if I just go by myself and find someone to do it for me. So, I called American Home Shield and explained it to them. They said they didn’t receive the diagnostic. This has been 10 days or more, and I still have nothing resolved.
This is an AC unit in a mobile home. It’s impossible to be there. I have the compressor on at night because it’s super hot and it does not go lower than 82 degrees. So, the electricity bill for two months has been so expensive. Right now, they probably need to resolve it. Everyday, a different person tells me not to worry about it and that they will call me back. But nothing has happened. I have to keep calling everyday and at the end, there is no result, which I’m not happy about. Besides that, I cannot go into my account and see what’s going on. Because any time that I log into my account, it’s saying that my account expired already. So, there is no way that I can add my new account. I’m stressed because I thought AHS is professional and I don't know what's going on.

I keep American Home Shield because when there is a big issue, it's more comfortable. I have it for safety. When I call them, they have somebody come here fast. But it is quite expensive. The first time I used them for something under the sink, I spent $100. I thought the unit was too old and maybe they would change it for me. But the technicians just used something to turn it and then it was good. I also used the warranty for another appliance and the technician that came said that there was one part he needed to change.

I do not like AHS. They don't work out for the homeowner. It’s a piss-poor plan. I've never gotten reimbursed. I've called multiple times and they kept telling me, "Check’s in the mail." But the address is different. I was supposed to be receiving an $800 check and never received it. Three calls. I won't continue service with them. My hot water heater went out and it took them over two weeks to even get a service rep out there. By the time they got out there and got the answers back, it was about a month to process to get my hot water heater changed. There was no sense of urgency.
I called the vendor that was still through them, got him to come out and fix it. I paid everything out of pocket and they still wanted information from me to turn in. When I turned it in, I still have not received a check from them. I also bought the extra plan for my pool pump and I wanted them to come out and change it. I already started some of the repairs on it. What they told me was it was an existing condition and they couldn't fix it. That just blew my mind. Because the whole warranty thing is for existing homes and existing conditions, but they did not want to fix it.

Having AHS, I get help when I need it so I'm pretty happy with that. Recently, I had a leak in my ceiling and a guy came out. He couldn't find anything but he explained to me what I would need to do if that leak came back. It was really nice that he let me know what my options were and what I needed. But I had a claim for my oven door and that was about the only thing that I was unhappy with. My door was taken apart but the tech that came out used the words "torn apart" on his paperwork. There is a big discrepancy between the two. The lady that I talked to let me know that I was allowed to have a second opinion. I declined it at that time but it was good to know that I had the option to have somebody else come out and get a second set of eyes on my problem. But with the monthly fee, I'm paying about $600 a year and every time there's that deductible, nobody's ever happy.

If you've got appliances as old as we do, I absolutely would recommend American Home Shield. They sent Beyer Appliance out and they were wonderful. On the other hand, they also sent out J & L Plumbing in the middle of June, and they did not fix the problem and did very inadequate. I called somebody on my own, free estimates, and he came out and didn't charge me a penny. I talked to American Home Shield a week ago and told them what happened. They said they would refund the $75 in five to seven business days, and we're at that point now. We’re at the end of July, and we're watching to see if the refund comes through. I also told them I never want that plumbing company in our home again. They need to take them off their books as far as sending them to somebody else's home.

The only thing I dislike about America Home Shield is it takes too many days for them to take care of the problem. If you call on a Monday, I would expect the problem will be taken care of within one to two days. It takes some time, five days for the contractor, to get in touch with me, then it's another three days before they can do what they need to do. So, sometimes 8 to 10 days. That's too much. It happened a couple of times. Now, I'm waiting on them to deliver my side-by-side refrigerator tomorrow.
The first contractor that AHS sent out was from this company called Wright. The tech just looked at the refrigerator, didn't examine it. And he said, "What you need to do is put a fan behind it. It's too warm in here." And he left. I did that. A couple of days after, still the same problem. So, I had to call AHS back again, and they sent GE out. GE took care of the problem. AHS has been beneficial. I like it because I can still depend on them taking care of the problem. I know everything will not be done in an instant, but I expect it to be taken care of quicker than it is.

American Home Shield has been beneficial over the years. I always refer others to them. If they're asking about home warranties, I always say, for the most part, I’m happy with them. Recently, McDade Mechanical came for my hot water heater that was leaking. I always request McDade because they're always professional and have always been upfront with me.
This year, considering I had to get a new hot water heater, American Home Shield has done me well. But most years, there were some issues in my house that half the time, the policy didn't cover. I had to pay $400 for the construction for an issue with one of my pipes. I've had a drippy faucet, and they wouldn't cover it because they had to go through the wall. Also, my well pump is covered but it seems like they never go through one of the people in the area. I always have to find one on my own. So, sometimes I wonder if that’s even worth it or if I just take that off the policy. Additionally, the reps at American Home Shield are just reading from a script and it doesn't even matter what I'm asking. It's irritating.

Overall, my experience with them was wonderful from start to finish.

I had two hot water heaters replaced in a duplex that's under contract and closing. They wanted to know what the warranty was on the hot water heaters that were replaced. I said, “I have dates, but I have no invoices. I have no idea what the warranty is on the hot water that was installed.” I asked for copies so it would say what hot water was installed, what kind, and the date it was installed. I'm still waiting for both of those and it's been more than a week. This is American Home Shield not following through for something as simple as this. If I asked them to do any work on them, they automatically take it off my policy because they replaced them, but I don’t know what the warranty is on them or when they were installed.
The ticket was open last Thursday and they said 48 hours. I called in again after that to find out when I'm going to get the copies. They said they had to escalate it to the next team that handles the vendor relations. Right now, I’m not complaining about AM PM Plumbing, because I’ve left multiple calls with them and two emails for copies. But they said that American Home Shield provides the hot water heater. So, I have to get that information from them. Also, usually, I can get somebody out pretty close. But right now, they have only two plumbing companies that come to Arizona City where the duplexes are. AM PM Plumbing is the only people that come out here. I don’t have another choice of vendors.

Right now, I'm having a bad experience with American Home Shield. I had my air conditioner go out, so I called them and paid my deposit and they sent somebody out here. They looked at it and they named a whole lot of stuff that needed to be replaced and it came up to like $2,500. When I went to them and got them, their slogan was, "If we can't fix it, we'll replace it." They said they couldn't fix it, but they said, "Oh, we can give you $600 toward fixing it." So, foolish enough, I agreed. I took out a loan to get it replaced. I replaced it and they said the check will be here in 6 to 10 business days. That was three weeks ago. I called back and they said, "You need to send in a receipt saying that you got a new air condition." I sent that in on a Monday and they said it should be there by Friday. Friday came, and there was nothing. I called them yesterday. They told me that it takes 20 days to approve it.
When I filed the claim, they told me I had to pay my deductible. They asked me what the problem was and I told them what it was and I paid the deductible. They looked up a company and they said they were going to send me an email. If I needed to ask any questions to the company, they left me the number. Then, they sent me an email saying, "Okay, it's scheduled at a certain date. His name is Josh and he text you and let you know when he's on his way." When he got out here, he looked at the problem and took a minute, and then he said, "Okay, this is what's wrong with it. This is what's needed to be done. You're gonna have to replace this, you have to replace that, this needs to be done." I said, "Okay. How much is all that gonna cost?" He said, "It's gonna cost you about $2,500." So, I called American Home Shield and I told them what he told me.
The rep put me on hold, and then she said, "No, we can't cover up to that. But we can send you $600 to help for the cost." I said, "Help for the cost? Only reason that I got y'all is because y'all saying on TV, 'If we can't fix it, we'll replace it.'" We went back and forth. Then I said, "Okay, just go ahead and I'll agree to that. Go ahead and send me the check. Okay." My plan is $40 a month and $100 upfront to them every time I need something replaced. So, I'm not happy with them at all. I wanna cancel them. If I'm gonna continue to pay them monthly for something that I needed repair, I might as well just save the money myself and pay for it myself. I am so disappointed in them.
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you about your ongoing concerns.

It's taking a while to get my dryer part. Initially, the contractor called right away, and we did the virtual video diagnosis. But since then, I've been calling them. They said it should be here by the end of the week. I called today, which is the end of the week, and it's not gonna be here until Tuesday.

I called American Home Shield to see if they could send someone out to look at my AC. And they did. The tech came out and turned it on. He looked at everything and said there was air coming out, but it wasn't cool. So, I called American Home Shield back. I asked them if they could send a different company. But they said they had to send the same company. So, the same company came back out. He went outside. He said some wires were broken in the box. He fixed the wires and it's working. So when he left, the AC was on 74. And now it's on 76. But it's still not working. My AC is still broken. I don't want to have to pay another $125 for the same thing.

The refrigerator was leaking water on to the floor two times a day. I filed a claim through the website and it’s supposed to do a phone video consultation. So I did that and showed them the problem, then they sent somebody over. The person who came out was on time and perfectly nice. He looked at the refrigerator and was able to solve the problem. Apparently, there's a tray in the back of the freezer where water is supposed to go and it goes into a line, and the line had come unscrewed so he just rescrewed it.

Our refrigerator wasn't working right. The ice maker was not putting out ice and the freezer was frozen. It was very cold but the refrigerator part was warm. It was also making this tick, tick, tick noise. I initially called American Home Shield and it was really hard. I was on hold for 45 minutes. Someone finally picked up but then hung up on me. I called back and I was on hold for about 15 minutes. I got somebody after that. I run into this kind of hold time nearly every time but only for a few minutes between six and eight minutes. It's not horrible but it's not wonderful either.
After I made the claim, I got the name of the service company and their number. The experience with them was pretty good but they didn't solve the problem the first time. I called back to American Home and told them the refrigerator wasn’t working still and they got another guy to come back out. That fellow came and tinkered around some more and figured it was fixed then left. But it wasn't fixed so I called again. A third guy came out. This was actually the first guy that came earlier. He wasn't leaving here until the refrigertor was fixed. He took his time and went through everything. He did a very good job and definitely earned his tip.
He did a deep cleaning of the coils and everything the first time he came. That was an additional cost I paid $50 to Sears for. That didn't fix the problem but it probably helped to make things better. He talked about the size of our refrigerator cave or that space in the wall. This is a huge refrigerator for that space. The people that we bought the house from had this fridge for them and it was an inch away from each wall. There was no more room. The tech discussed this space with me the first time he was here but not much more.
When he came out the final time, he pulled out the refrigerator all the way out again and he removed the back panel that was covering the motor and everything there. It had air holes in it for the fan to take in air. He made some more air holes in it near to where this little motor was ticking so that the fan could draw in air from inside, blow through, and the air would have more places to exit and cool down that motor some more. The ticking was the motor overheating. He said, “I want you to pull the refrigerator out an extra inch from the back wall. Your fridge will have to stick out a little bit more. But these are the things you have to do to keep it running as long as possible and keep from having to replace your fridge for as long as possible.” He gave me some pointers and he showed me where to put food in my freezer in particular so that I get the most airflow to the refrigerator.
The freezing problem had to do with some lines freezing in between the fridge and freezer or the drainage. He completely defrosted that aspect and he did something to make it so that didn't happen again. He packed some more insulation around it. The ice maker wasn't making very much ice. There was a mechanism in it that wasn't functioning well. It was sticking so he took a part from a piece he had in his truck and he jerry-rigged it and made it work. It took care of the ticking noise and the icemaker problem. Everything happened at once.
The other issues were all one basically. He just had to do a few things to correct it. He took the time to really explain what was important about taking good care of the refrigerator so that it would last as long as possible. He said it's going to be on its way out. It's old enough that you got to be careful and just take very good care of it. In general, I've had very good service with American Home Shield with the exception of having to hold while waiting for an initial contact. That was the only thing that would detract from a really good, shining report of them.

Without exception, the contractors have been very good, professional and friendly, and they do their jobs quickly and efficiently. When I requested service for the refrigerator, the technician came out very quickly. In fact, I was surprised how fast he got out to our house. He took a thorough look at the refrigerator and determined what part was needed, then followed it up by telling me that the part was unavailable. He couldn't get ahold of the part, and I was contacted by American Home Shield regarding a replacement refrigerator. We got a replacement, and I filed the paperwork for that a week ago. We opted to get a different refrigerator than the one that AHS suggested, and we're due a refund of $1,275 and some change. I'm currently waiting to hear about that.
Generally, American Home Shield is very good about getting people out to take a look at whatever issues we're having, and I'm happy about that. They have in the past been very timely in replacing or giving us reimbursement for appliances which had gone bad too. When communicating with agents over the telephone though, I've had some difficulty at times in getting my point across or letting them know what exactly I was calling for. It seems that for a number of AHS telephone agents, English is either a second or a third language.

When we moved in the house, the AC was working correctly. It was getting cold. But two weeks after we moved in, we noticed the downstairs wasn't cooling off so we called American Home Shield. A week in, the tech said that I was low on Freon. So, I was hoping that he would be able to get the service order to get in to work on it. But AHS called me back stating that this is a preexisting issue.
It wasn't a great experience with the AC because we're still kinda dealing with the situation. When I called the actual company a second time to get an understanding of what's going on, they said that they didn't do a full investigation due to the insurance that we had. So, it seemed like they were trying to get a side service agreement with us separate from the warranty. We got a new house just recently and AHS rejected two of our requests already.

The AC claim was resolved successfully so we were happy with that. It was for the coil in the air handler that was bad. It turned out that it was too old for them to find a replacement for it so we ended up getting a completely new air handler. They did a good job and explained what was going on and what they were doing. They made sure that by the time they left, we felt comfortable that the problem was solved. The issue that we had with the service was the length of time between when we called and when we got them to come out. They were booked up. From the beginning of the initial claim to resolution was almost a month. When you deal with air conditioning, that's not great. But I like that I have peace of mind having American Home Shield.

I like American Home Shield. We've been in this house for five years that we've had it but before then, we used to be with them when we had a house in Memphis, Tennessee. We had a recent AC claim and while Fast Response was kind of busy, we weren't completely out of coolness and they got to us as fast as they could. My husband thought the AC wasn't cooling, but it's because we've had some really hot days here in Texas. The gentleman that came out said that he checked everything. He said the Freon was still good in it and everything checked out. It was just the hot temperatures. He suggested we get an attic dome thing. That might help some of the heat coming in from the attic part.
The only thing I dislike about AHS is the back and forth when they're trying to decide once the people come out and they say that something's wrong and then they have to submit paperwork back to AHS and wait. An issue with the bathroom faucet took quite a long time. We were having to share one bathroom due to waiting to get things done with the faucet in the bathtub. I like being able to just call or go online and pick what I need to get done. Then the next day, they'll schedule it and then come out the second day. That's a good process.

But they're still working for American Home Shield under that name that was revoked. We were scared to have them come out but we didn't have a choice. The thing is American Home Shield has the warranty on the unit. We can't just call the company that installed the air conditioning unit because now, every time there's a problem, we have to go through the home warranty.
We were lucky because in the end, the service company never came. In the course of a day, they rescheduled 12 times. We had a national heat warning that week. It was over 100 degrees in the house. We called multiple times and finally, American Home Shield all sent a different company out, which we were super relieved with. After a couple of years of battling our AC unit and putting band-aids on it, it got replaced which is great. But the guy didn't replace the fan because he wasn't authorized to do so. He just repaired it. It'll probably keep going out until the home warranty finally replaces the fan.
On the whole, American Home Shield vetting their vendors is the biggest issue. I have two other homes and I don't know if I want to carry American Home Shield with them because of that. The home warranty saved us a little bit of money in the long run because it helps us with the air conditioning unit. We pay them $100 every service thing a month for two years, until they finally replaced it. It’s better than not having a warranty. But at this point, we were actually discussing canceling the home warranty. We have a new AC unit and it will probably will last 10 years.

When I filed a claim for the sink in the kitchen with AHS, the issue was taken care of within 20 minutes. Everything is working fine now. They also took care of the issue the first time with my AC. They sent somebody out and took care of it. But now I have another claim and it's been going on since July 10th. I feel like nobody's worried about it. I'm frustrated because we're in the three-digit temp right now. Nobody's calling me back and nobody's fixing anything like they said they would.

I'm very happy I took out the warranty plan. I have a side-by-side refrigerator and there was water leaking. It turned out that the L-shaped plastic pipe at the back of the unit wore out. The tech didn't have any in his truck so he had to order me a new piece. He even tried a couple of places that he normally does business with, and they didn't have the model number. He said, “You just won’t have ice or refrigerator water.” I said, “That’s fine. As long as my refrigerator and my freezer is working, I’m fine.” He had to come back, pull the refrigerator out, and fix what he needed to fix. He turned the water that is only for the refrigerator on. He wanted me to constantly run the water through the filter to clean out the tubings. I was very pleased.

American Home Shield has saved us a lot of money but has not been very good for us. We've had several issues with them that we're unhappy with. The service people that come out have been very polite and courteous. They do their jobs and we're happy with them. But every time we call American Home Shield, we're put on hold. We sit and wait for somebody to answer our call and it takes considerable time that we're waiting for someone to come back and take our call. We've had so many calls to American Home Shield in the last three months that it's hard to keep each one straight.
Recently, the stopper on the sink in the bathroom in the basement had to be fixed 'cause it broke. The contractor did fine with that. It's just that the stopper doesn't open wide enough for the water to run out quickly. It takes a long time for the water to run out of the sink after the sink has been stopped up. Even if the sink has not stopped up, it takes a while for the water to run out because there's not enough space there. They had said something about possibly getting a new stopper for the sink and we've not heard back at all from that.
As far as the washer and dryer goes, American Home Shield has been cost-effective. They're about to rebuild the whole inside of my washer and dryer. The repairman called ahead and did a video which helped him bring the right parts. But American Home Shield had Sears come out do the washer and dryer repair. They got here and checked what was wrong. They had to order parts. It takes about a week to get the parts delivered to the house. Then it takes two more weeks for them to come and make the repair. I need my washer and dryer and it takes too long to get the job completed.

He's a horrible person to have work for the company and he's a manager.
The other thing that upsets me is I called numerous times to get ahold of American Home Shield to get somebody to fix my AC, but I didn't get return phone calls. I ended up having to keep calling in. That's not very good on a company not return phone calls and me having to call in. The very last person that helped me was a return phone call.

My wife and I had AHS when we had our place in Incline Village, Nevada and it seemed like at the time, more people were a lot more responsive and the customer service was a lot better. We bought the warranty again here in our place in Missoula, Montana and it seems that the quality of customer service and responsiveness has significantly gone down. It also seems like the people we speak to are outsourced and it's not always easy to be able to speak to somebody. We had a claim where the customer service reps were not really helpful in contacting the vendor that they were using. It felt like it was more on us to have to do those things and the follow-up. It just didn't seem like they were really knowledgeable about what we were talking about, so that was disappointing.
The cost of the warranty has gone up a lot more, too. That is always a concern from our end but we've not had anything not covered. Aside from that, we recently had a service from All Brands and they were fantastic. They were responsive and friendly. They provided explanations of what was going on, so I really appreciated the transparency.

Recently, I had some work done on my house because a pipe burst. AHS sent somebody to assess the damage and it was just wear and tear so the insurance covered that. In the midst of that, there was a situation where some of the work was messed up because the AC was left on so it froze over because it was low on Freon and it was leaking from the ceiling. So, the techs put the pounds of Freon back in there and got it working again
AHS is like every other company out there. They only cover $10 on whatever the cost is for Freon and Freon is pretty expensive. If I'm paying them a monthly charge why, am I having to come out so much money for two pounds of Freon.

I canceled my contract with American Home Shield five years ago because they do not provide the service they say. I was totally dissatisfied with the service. For example, the dishwasher.

I was still paying my monthly premium to American Home Shield. My AC unit went out. The AC unit was 14 years now. It has served its purpose. They sent out a technician and he repaired it. But within 10 days of him fixing it, it went back out again.
When I called them back, they said, “You have to pay another service fee for him to come back out because it was past 30 days." I paid an additional service fee. He said, “What we did to it last time didn't work. We gotta do something different.” I said, “If what you did last time that I paid the service fee for didn't work, why am I still paying service fees?”
I called American Home Shield. Talked to them about upgrading the unit but they wanted me to pay 3,000 dollars. I said, “Why don't we just cancel the American Home Shield warranty?” They sent me a bill. “You owe us a prorated amount for your warranty because you canceled the warranty.” I owed them more money for a service they didn't complete.

He determined that it was the AC that was actually doing it because everything else was off except for the AC and it kept tripping.

Before I shop and buy anything, I always read the reviews and I haven’t seen anything bad so far. Some of the people tell me warranty companies are not good and I would say that it depends on what you buy. If you buy the low plan, you're not going to get everything covered. But if it’s the top-of-the-line, they're gonna make sure you get your top-of-the-line service. I made sure that I had the top-of-the-line.

Horrible customer service and a complete lack of transparency! I have an AC issue that I have been trying to resolve for more than a month. The first assigned contractor did not contact me and I was unable to reach them over the course of two weeks. After complaining to AHS on 4 different occasions, a new contractor was finally assigned. The 2nd contractor was more responsive and after looking at my AC, determined that my evaporator coil needed to be replaced. This was the same diagnosis that I received from a local company that had visited my house before I remembered that I should have submitted the claim through AHS.
The evaporator coil was covered under the manufacturer warranty and both of the onsite contractors agreed that the home warranty should cover it. Of course, AHS determined that I would need to pay over $1000 in non-covered costs. The only explanation given, "Replace Evaporator Coil, Reason Not Covered - Normal wear & tear." I found the explanation odd because normal wear and tear is specifically listed as what is covered on the contract. I was then told to talk to contractor who gave me the cost information for 3 parts and the refrigerant. I understand the charge for refrigerant, but the parts should have been covered.
Oddly enough, the initial estimate I got not using AHS was less than the estimate I was given by my home warranty company. When asked for total estimate and a detailed explanation of what was going to be done, the contractor told me that they were only allowed to tell me non-covered costs due to an arrangement with AHS. When I asked for the details from AHS, they told me that I needed to talk to contractor. Aside from me wanting to know what specifically was being done to my house, the information is necessary to ensure future coverage from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, I don't know who to believe and I refuse to pay them anything until a detailed explanation of the work to be performed is offered.

I am very agree with most of the reviewers who have given one star to this company. I will give 0.5 star to this one. Many reasons: they just want to take money and will always run away from the problem. I am struggling with ac problem, and several times they sent technician to repair, every time I end up giving several hundred dollars for refrigerant cost, apart from their one time service fee. But they never addressed the problem. I end up paying approximately ~ 1000 dollars for this but none of technician solved the issue. This time once again I paid their one time service call fee and this company has given me a "quote" of 810 dollars for excess refrigerant cost with a reasoning not covered is "normal wear and tear". Who is responsible? Why not they solved the problem in first time? Why they have taken money from me without solving the problem? If they never addressed the problem, why they are asking money again.
How difficult to deal with such type of company, where you are paying several hundred dollars for the contract, service fee and top of that, they will never take responsibility to fix thing. This is one example, another one is also equally interesting. There was a problem in my furnace, they came and try to fix that and one of the technician made problem worst. A Technician concluded that parts of that furnace are not available and it is not repairable. In that situation, the warranty company needs to change the furnace. However, they asked me to pay 1800 USD. On the 8th of December, 2021, the technician replaced my furnace and I paid that amount to him. I monitored that furnace approximately a week or so in order to evaluate if that is working or not. It was not effective mainly because the capacity of this furnace is 56,000 BTU whereas the earlier furnace was 100,000 BTU.
I immediately sent a message to that technician as well as called warranty company regarding that issue. However, there was no action from their side. I tried to call them repeatedly but unfortunately, no response. It has been several months since I am fighting for this issue but guys no response. It is something like you want to repair your car, and warranty company will give a bicycle for replacement. So good luck to you, if you want to go for this company.
Prashant,
Thanks for sharing your warranty experience. I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused you. My name is Robert and I would like to speak to you more about your claim.

So far, whatever issues I've had, AHS has tried to work on it in a timely manner. Except the last time, when I had a refrigerator issue, I had to wait a while. I asked if I could find someone else to fix it and get reimbursed. But they said no, that it has to be on their contractor list. So, that was something I was a little bit disappointed. Because I asked if my food went bad, if they would at least reimburse me for the food. The rep said they couldn't. But besides those two issues, everything else is fine.
The contractor sent was good and professional. They got the job done and left the space clean when they were done. I like the coverage that I'm getting. And for the price that I'm paying, it's worth it.

The AC unit upstairs went out and the techs came and got that fixed. A week later, our main floor basement AC unit went out and they were able to come and get that one fixed too. Both of them seemed like they were easy fixes. And then, our one-year-old fridge that we bought through the warranty of American Home Shield went out last Thursday night. So, we have been in a whirlwind of breakdowns of our major appliances. I called AHS and they're coming tomorrow to look at it. Hopefully, the fridge is an easy fix.

The first claim I had with American Home Shield was when my washing machine went out. The tech came out and said that the washer was a total loss. AHS gave me the incentive to purchase a washer online. I went online but the one I wanted, they didn't have it in stock and didn't know when they would get it. I found it at another place. AHS sent me a check and I went and purchased the washing machine myself.
Recently, the hot water heater went out. The bottom had corroded, and so that's why water was going everywhere. The tech replaced the whole water heater and made modifications. He got the job done quite fast. We paid for the modifications because AHS didn't pay for that part. But they paid for everything else. Having AHS is the greatest thing because you never know when something's gonna go.

My air conditioner went out and the tech who came was very helpful and fixed it. I've had some previous claims with AHS and the service have been good. Except one time, it took them over a week to get out there. They kept changing the contractor they were assigning it to and they assigned some contractors that weren't even available for my area.
We are grateful for the time that you've taken to share you AHS experience. Please let us know if you need any assistance in regards to your warranty. Have a great week.

Our air wasn't working. The outside unit wasn't turning on. It wasn't blowing cold air at the power that it normally was. I submitted an online claim. It was easy. I received the name of the company. And the day they were supposed to show up, I got the name of the actual person that was coming out along with a picture emailed to me of the worker. He looked at the unit, came up with a solution, did it, and the air started working again. It was quick. The last time, he had to just redo some wiring. It had arced out and one of the wires burned up. He cut the wire, put the new connector on and it was fine. It's hot outside and the unit is keeping it between 72 and 74 in the house.
I've worked with a couple of people and referred them to American Home Shield who ended up getting coverage through them. But with my most recent experience in the past seven months, I wouldn't refer them to anyone. The air conditioning broke three times this year. I'm trying to get it replaced, but American Home Shield wouldn't do it. Also, the fine print of one of the services we had done, they had to refill our coolant and air conditioning. It says that it's under AHS coverage, but in turn, ours was not for whatever reason.
They covered the parts, but they didn't cover any of the coolant that would actually run the air conditioning. Even on their website, it says the coolant is covered. You might have to pay $10 per pound, which would have come out to 120 bucks for us. But instead, we got hit with a full bill. For whatever reason, they came up with fine print saying that we had to pay for it, and it was a hassle. So even with our coverage and having AHS, we still had to pay $1,700 out of pocket to get our air conditioning fixed. And the coolant that they had to put in didn't exist anymore. So, they had to put a different, extremely expensive coolant in. We needed air. It was hot. We had no choice but to pay it.

We had some toilets that were leaking in our brand-new house. The gentleman came out, looked at the toilet, and said there was nothing wrong with it. It sounded like he was being professional and knew what he was talking about. He took me underneath in the basement to show me that there was no water leaking there. But a few days later, there was still a little bit of water leaking in the toilet. So I decided to call a different plumber and he informed us that all three toilets in the house were the original toilets. So they were 15 years old and all the seals were cracking and that it was going to become a big problem. So he suggested that we replace them and we did.

I love American Home Shield’s service. Anytime I have an issue, somebody is usually there the next day. I had an issue with my air conditioner over the weekend, and somebody came. He said it was the coils that were broken and it was going to be a certain amount of money. He said, “They should cover it.” Afterward, I got a bill that I have to pay $2,900 for some other stuff. They wouldn't tell me what it was for. I called American Home Shield, and they were covering the coil and the installation cost. I don't know what this other $2,900 was for. So, I called up the person and said, “I don’t want you to do it. I’m gonna get my own repair person to do it.”
Right now, I think AHS is gonna give me a cashout for the part and the installation so I can pay my regular air conditioner guy. I also had a little bit of an issue with my dishwasher. The techs had to come out six times, but ultimately, the last person fixed it. So, things like that happened, but that wasn’t anybody's fault. American Home Shield was paying for it.

The contractor that came out for the AC fan that was not running got everything done in one day.

The AC was not cooling well and the first person who visited just looked at the AC, didn't do much, and left. The next day, the cooling was not great in the same way. Then after that, the second person who visited made sure things were all done appropriately. Having AHS gives me a bit of peace of mind but I want them to improve their response time. Each time, specifically, in summer, if you're raising a request for cooling, waiting for three or four days at times becomes difficult if the AC is not working at all. So, it would be nice if they can have more contractors during the summer helping them out with the HVAC. That way, they have enough people to service because most of them are backlogged.
Great! We appreciate you taking time to share your warranty experience. We look forward to handling your AHS needs. Have an amazing week.
