    American Home Shield sent somebody to repair a dishwasher leak. They came out a few days after I called AHS. They diagnosed the problem. Then they had to wait for a part. Once they got the part, they came out and scheduled an appointment to repair it. I had one other repair for an air conditioning capacitor that they replaced. With AHS, I have peace of mind that if anything goes out, I'm not gonna have a big outlay of money all at once.

    We had American Home Shield at our old house. We got a new house and got it since we got here too when we had this house built. We've had it for at least 20 years, and everything’s always gone very smoothly for us. We had an AC repair with A-US. The tech did great. He was really nice and fixed the problem quickly.

    We had our furnace serviced. We asked Home Shield and they said they wouldn't cover it because we had to go through them. We didn't understand that going in. But now that we understand it, the service is better. We've had a hot water tank and a sump pump put in. It has worked out, so far. The only problem we had was when we had Home Shield bring out the first fellow to check our hot water tank, he was gonna charge us over $1,600 to fix it. My wife said she wasn't happy with that. There had to be a little bit of plumbing done because the joints that they had in weren't the right ones. For an elbow sweat fitting, they wanted to charge us $30. I can get those for 98 cents at the hardware store. What they did was they went on ahead and gave us a check for the expansion joint and the hot water tank. We had it all put in for like $500.

    I had an issue prior with my water heater. But the company didn't come out. I waited all day. I called American Home Shield. They told me that they couldn't send anybody else out. I had to pay them money, they had to refund back that money and reschedule somebody else to come out, which frustrated me. I called back in. Water was leaking everywhere. I made an appointment, waited all day for those people, but AHS claimed they didn't know what happened with the appointment. They couldn't send anybody. So, I had to wait almost five days. And I got a water leak coming from my air conditioning unit in the hallway. My floor is completely messed up. Now I have to find somebody to come out to redo my floors.

    The people didn't come out until Monday. I called AHS. They couldn't do anything about anything. They had me sit and wait. They told me, "Don't leave the house." That was my second time waiting at home the entire day. All night long, I called them. I waited until 8:00 at night. I kept calling American Home Shield.

    So far, I haven't had a good experience. And my premium kept going up. The only reason why I haven't canceled is because I am going to shop around and look for something cheaper. The monthly bill is getting expensive, but I never can get the services when I need it. Every time, I have to wait, or they don't end up showing up, and they may not even want to call. But I'm paying them every month and I have to pay them to come out.

    The agents are horrible because when I told the agent, "This is ridiculous that I had to wait here all day, and then no one showed up." She said, "It's not ridiculous because things happen. There are other customers that need to be serviced." But I just started using them, so I must have had them for four years because I only used it once or twice before when I first got it. But I pay a monthly bill and didn't use them for almost three years and she told me it was not ridiculous because other people have issues too. So, when someone called back, I said, "Y'all need to pull that call because that is ridiculous." And I wrote the CEO person, but no response from that either. If I pull a call and one of my agents talk to somebody like that, they may not have a job the next day.

    American Home Shield is amazing. I like it. Every time I've needed something repaired, they've gotten it done quickly. They have really worked well with us. The people they contract out are fabulous as well. Darien and family have been the one that has come out for most of my stuff. He and his company have worked well with American Home Shield. He knows exactly how to work with them. They've been great working alongside each other. My appliance claim went great. Initially, they thought it was one problem but it turned out to be another problem. They reopened the ticket and came back and repaired it again. It was really great. We're absolutely satisfied with AHS. I used it for my dishwasher, my oven, my fridge, my dryer, my upright freezer and my air conditioner too.

    American Home Shield sent me an email and texted me. So not only did I know when the contractor was coming, I knew who was coming and when they would be there. That's great. It all worked out. The icemaker in the top of our Samsung refrigerator was frozen solid, so when the guy came out the first time, he couldn't work on it. He told us what to do, which meant taking everything out of the freezer, unplugging it and letting it sit for three days. He ordered the part. Once it came in, they gave us three days and I unplugged it. It was thawed out and he came back a second time and replaced it, and it has been working fine since. There was another claim because the bottom icemaker broke. They came out Friday, fixed that one, and it's working good. So, they've done a great job. It's what I expect somebody to do when I spend $800 a year. AHS did what I thought they should do when they should do it. That's hard to come by these days.

    The dryer wasn't working and Axis fixed that. Then, we had a claim for the washer and Axis's technician said to give them a call and that they will replace the order if it continued leaking. He also said that he was going to come back to unclog the container. The washer still leaked so I called them and the person in charge said that he had said that it was done and since the report was that it was all done and it was working, I had to call American Home Shield and have them send a senior technician. American Home Shield did send a senior technician. He unclogged the containers. But it leaked again so we called and again, they said that the case was closed.

    I went online. Doing anything that you want to do online with American Home Shield is very friendly. I requested a review and next Tuesday, the same senior technician is coming. American Home Shield is very reliable and their customer service is excellent. When I call on the phone, they always are very understanding. The process of communication with whoever is coming takes a little longer than I wish it could happen but in the end, usually, everything is resolved.

    We had a noise in our plumbing pipes and a plumber determined it was the hot water recirculating pump. We called American Home Shield to let them know. It was easy to get through. The hard part was we had a hard time doing it online because it didn't really capture the specific problem or it wasn't clear. Once we talked to a rep, it was pretty simple. We received a call from the company on the person's name coming out. The tech was very knowledgeable, showed up on time and quickly diagnosed the problem. He said the hot water recirculating pump was malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. So, Home Shield didn't like to quote. They thought it might be too much. So, they're gonna send another contractor out tomorrow.

    When I moved in, my bathtub backed up and flooded my whole home. I called in and AHS said that in 24 to 48 hours, they would have someone out to me. They sent me a plumber, AFC Plumbing Company, and we took the tech into the house. More of the raw sewage was backed up. He went into the main bathroom where the the bathtub is, took off the cover, messed with something in there, and he said he doesn't think that was it. He went outside and we showed him where the crawl space is and the cleanout for the drain, which is right in my driveway. He walked right by it when he walked up to the house.

    He went under my trapdoor, took a picture, sent it to me, and asked my fiance to turn on the bathtub. My fiance filled up the tub and meanwhile, the tech was telling me that I've got mold, woodrot, and all these problems with my home. My fiance called me on the phone and asked me to tell him when to drain the tub We were being helpful. My fiance and the tech walked to the master bedroom shower again. He was in there 10 seconds and he came out and told me that he knows a restoration company he can call.

    That guy showed up at my door and came in and didn't do anything to assess anything. He came back out and said I've got two choices. He said I can either put a claim in with my homeowner's insurance or they could come in and they would take care of everything. I just bought and paid for this home. My home is destroyed right now and I did have to make a homeowner's claim because, after that, the issue didn't stop.

    We called back immediately to AHS and I told them everything that had happened. I even have the guy's card. I talked to Josh and he said they couldn't send another plumber because they've already dispatched. But the issue os still not fixed. We sat for a week. No drinking water, no shower, and no way of flushing toilets. Pretty soon, it backed up again. This time, it flooded my home and my floor was already destroyed. I'm gonna have to move and my walls have to be redone. I fought and fought and we spent two hours on the phone with one of AHS's reps. All we were asking is for them to send a plumber out.

    By that time, we have the smell of sewage in our home, which puts out poisonous gas. I'm at a level three to four right now in my home for moisture and mold, which is not safe. The AFC plumber said we don't have a drain cleanout. Really? I had George Brazil come out and they popped the cap off, snaked it, and got the clogs out of it. That cost me 330 bucks. But it's still not fixed. There's $4,000 of piping, but there's a belly there that needs to be replaced. Now, I'm waiting for Ionic Plumbing to call me to tell me whether or not they want to work on it. But I still have to get approval.

    American Home Shield is not a guarantee. They'll take your money and they will not give you your full refund. In their contract, it clearly states they're a 24/7 operation. 24/7 means if you call and you have an issue, you're not waiting 24 to 48 hours. Also, they don't cover all the appliances like they say. They came out and inspected my oven, dishwasher, stove, and refrigerator and they only covered the refrigerator. I'm needing to replace my refrigerator for $600. You can't even buy a refrigerator for that now. And they were supposed to have the vent hood and the oven both on that ticket but they took those off so when the appliance repair people went in to say the vent hood needed to be replaced, they couldn't do it. I called them back and, supposedly, AHS called them and told them to send the information over. I called them per AHS to ask them to do so as well. They said I need to call and ask for a ticket.

    My dishwasher needed a new water pump. The company they got to repair it is not reliable. They canceled on me once, the 2nd appointment was a no show and when I asked AHS to send a different vendor they said no! I sent a week fighting to get my dishwasher repaired! We’ve been paying $80 a month and then are told it’s a $75 service fee! After doing the math we decided to put that money aside every month in case of an emergency as the plan just is not worth it! I could have bought a new dishwasher and a new refrigerator for what I’ve paid them! Actually, I did buy a new dishwasher and the $80 a month is going to pay it off! Anyone looking to get a plan like this really needs to do their research and the only thing I’d get covered are your heating & air conditioning units! Do Not go with American Home Shield! There are better companies out there!

    I like the service okay but sometimes I don't like the technicians they send out. The electrician they sent out for my electrical work came out pretty quickly but he didn't find a problem. He said that he was going to get someone to help out with whatever he needed to do but he never came back. He didn't call and when I called, he never returned my call. I called American Home Shield to request another electrician and they assured me that they were gonna call me back but I haven't heard anything from them as of yet. But when Integrity Plumbing came out for the low water pressure in the house, he tried to see if AHS covers my water softener. They don't but he at least checked into it, which was nice.

    The home warranty is a great benefit for me as far as single living and don't have anybody to help out around. It works out pretty good. The price of it went up, though, to $82.99 from $69. That’s a big jump. And the service went from $75 to $100, which is a big jump, too. That was kind of a shocker. I was hoping to be at least kind of grandfathered in if they did have to raise prices.

    American Home Shield sent Harvey's Plumbing for a claim involving a sink. The plumber was timely and did the test as required. It looks clean and neat under the sink, and the dripping has stopped. As far as AHS, I like the timely responses. And while they're expensive, currently, they're meeting expectations. I've had problems with contractors though. I've argued with contractors who said, "Job Complete." They put a knob in, and you can't turn the knob. That took about three tries. American Home Shield gave me the runaround on that one. With the separate issue, they were able to get ahold of a contractor that they recognized and was very good.

    I've used American Home Shield on numerous occasions for two air conditioners down in Louisiana. I've had a hot water heater replaced. I've used them in many ways. This is the first time I've had to use them in my new home in Delaware and it happens to be my dishwasher. The customer support is good. The only concern is I happened to have an air conditioner heater guy come in an emergency. He found nothing wrong. My concern was that if AHS can't fix it, they'd replace it, but he informed me that in his experience, it's not replaced based on my current appliance. It's a lesser value brand and I'm only a recipient potentially of 80% and then I would have to kick in the other 20%. So, the replacement clause is less than what I experienced.

    As far as the technicians, they're superb. They are very friendly and have great expertise, and they're willing to please. They're honest like, "It may not take me two days to get your parts. It may be a week or two and it may be longer." Their honesty is of great importance. The service is good. When I called back and said nobody showed up for their appointment, and I couldn't get ahold of the vendor, their representative reached out to the vendor. They had better access and they were able to reach the vendor and get a resolution.

    I call American Home Shield and within two days, they have someone out here taking care of the issue. They're pretty good. The only thing I don’t really care for is the people they use ain’t always the best. When my air conditioner started going bad at the beginning of summer, they were having trouble getting people to call. So they told me I could find my own contractor, and they would reimburse me. I went and looked, but a lot of companies won’t work with warranty companies. Other than that, the service is good.

    Mel has been good. I’ve talked to him once about the AC, but his communication skill was horrible. He fixed my AC inside the garage, and then he was gone. I used to do air conditioning and usually, you talk to the people before you leave and reassure them that everything is good, and then you leave. But he just disappeared, and then sent a text message saying, “I’m done. You can let your garage down now.” But he does a good job as far as his work.

    Our AC unit appeared to be low on freon. There were three small leaks that the AC repairman was able to locate and repair. He recharged our system and it has been working since. On some issues, the case was handled spot-on. But sometimes it hit outside the box and there were issues. Six months ago, we had called on that air conditioner that AC Rescue fixed. The other guy that came out before them said it was low on freon so he just topped it off. But I had to call and dispute it ‘cause the guy who first came out said that he saw visible damage. There was no visible damage to my unit. What he was saying was when the AC unit leaked, there was PAG oil in there. He visibly saw PAG oil off the connector up on top so that was the visible damage that he observed.

    American Home Shield doesn't know anything about AC repair. They're a home warranty company. Under their contract, the way they’re read is they cover normal wear and tear. But they won't do physical damage, which means it makes perfect sense. I can't take a hammer to my unit, beat it up, then call them and tell them to come fix it. When I tried to explain that to the poor girl on the line, she didn't get it. I had to go through the dispute process. The thing that could have lowered my frustration on that whole episode was for me to know that there was a dispute process available to me before I lost my mind on them. Fortunately, after I got revved up and let them have it, they said, “Do you wanna dispute this?”

    We had a different guy come out. I explained to the guy that came what the other guy found and what he said about the visible damage. I told the new guy he needed to make sure to let American Home Shield know that I didn't damage my unit. He did and American Home Shield covered it. But it was a lot of angst to get there because it was the summertime and I didn't have any AC.

    My ice maker wasn't getting water to it, so J & J fixed it. I put the order to American Home Shield at like 5:00 in the morning, and the tech called me at 7:00 AM. He came out that morning. I put in another claim for my kitchen faucet and toilet. They wanted to give me a crappy-looking thing, and I don't have cheap in my house.

    I've had American Home Shield for five years, and I ended up buying a brand-new air conditioner unit. All I wanted was for them to cash me out for the piece that they want. First, they gave me a repair guy and I looked him up. The reviews from customers were horrible. I called them back and I said, "I don't want this guy in my house. I don't want his company in my house." They sent me another one. They came out and they looked at the air conditioning and said, "Oh, we don't service this type." They sent me out another one and he said, "Oh, yes, we serve."

    The secret to keeping an air conditioner working is to change the air filter every month. Every month I change it. The fifth guy came out and got up into the attic. I was thinking, "What the hell is going on up there?" He came down and said, "You need to remove that beam." I said, "What? That's structural." "Well, you need to remove it so we can work on the unit." I argued with them. I called my contractor up that I worked with. She sent out her air conditioning guy, and they didn't have to remove any beams. It cost me $7,500 and got it taken care of. What was wrong was the circuit board broke out. All they had to do was replace the circuit board, but since it was so old, I just replaced the whole heating and air conditioning.

    I submitted a claim for the AC and American Home Shield got back to me and set me up with an appointment with a company to come out and repair it. That company came out and realized that it was not a mechanical issue, but it was more electrical. So American Home Shield sent out someone else after that company. But both companies they sent out were top-notch. They were very, very, very knowledgeable, and explained what the problem was. The second guy came out, saw the problem, and then said, "This is what it is. We could take this, that and the other." It took all of 20 minutes to fix it. I'm glad to have American Home Shield. It took me a minute to even get the warranty service. It's a great, fast and efficient service. I definitely would recommend them.

    My AC went out on a Sunday and when I called American Home Shield that day, it takes 24 hours for the claim to go through. So the people called me back Monday but they couldn't get me in till that following week. So I had to sit there and wait and it was hot. I had to let them go and call back American Home Shield to get someone else. When I got ahold of them, they gave me Champs. They came out the next day, which was pretty cool. The tech asked me what was going on and I told him and then he went straight to where he assumed the problem was at. He corrected it and he wasn't here no longer than 30 minutes. It’s working now.

    When I called American Home Shield, it was kind of difficult to get through because you get that automated system when you’re just trying to get hold of someone. It took at least 45 minutes for someone to answer. Then when you go through the automated system, you tell them what you want. But when I called initially, the automated system put the wrong thing in. So I had to talk to someone to actually get it straight. When you call to set something up, American Home Shield doesn't give you a choice. They said they go with the first available company that pops up. They don’t ask you who you like or who they're associated with.

    American Home Shield's service is trash. I don't get answers all the time. The people that they send don't do the work. I ended up paying $200 for the same man. The first time, he didn't do anything. When I called back the second time, he didn't even come in the house. I'm waiting on a work order right now. The person they did gave me wouldn't even give me an appointment date. They just gave me a day and when they're on their way, they don't call me. That's terrible. So, the people that they contract to are terrible.

    Somebody came the other day and fixed my dryer perfectly. He was very polite. He did the job and he took the whole dryer apart and got it working. Last year, I had a problem with my air conditioner, and the techs came out twice. Rright now, somebody is coming on Monday for the same problem. So, this would be $300 I did pay Home Shield, and I still got the same problem. I would like them to fix the appliances they're coming to fix. They said I gotta call two times before it's even replaced. This is the third time. I still got the same problem. It's terrible. I'm thinking about canceling and see if I can go with somebody else.

It was old and they would send back recommending that it’d get replaced because of the age of it and it wasn’t washing efficiently. But I didn't get a good reply back from them. I can't really put it on Home Shield, though since I've never seen a report that went back to them. I asked for it several times but never received it. I also used AHS when my air conditioner went out and they promptly sent somebody out. The first company that they called gave me a very long lead time.

He kept telling me how bad Choice was and he said, “They owe me over $2,000.” I told him that was not my problem. He also told me, “If you want me to fix this here, you have to pay me.” But I told him that was not gonna happen.

The contractor, Comfort First Heating & Cooling, did a very good job. They explained what they found was going on each step and gave me every opportunity to understand it. They replaced a fan blade and the fan motor.

    Recently, AHS's rate jumped by almost $20 a month. I didn't feel that was communicated very well. It caught me by surprise. After the price increase had gone into effect, I requested service on the air conditioning parts. Because of that, I couldn't try to figure out a lower tier of coverage because I had already put in the request at the new price rate. I was a bit disappointed in that.

    I've had American Home Shield a few months and so far, I'm happy with them. I just bought my house last year and the sellers paid for a full year's home warranty with Old Republic. I used them a couple of times and one thing that I didn't like about them is they were always really hard to reach when I needed customer service. My boss at work and I talked about home warranties. He and his wife have American Home Shield, and he told me about them. I looked into it, went to the website, and instead of renewing with the one I had, I went with American Home Shield. One of the deciding factors was, because Old Republic didn't have any kind of coverage for my septic tank, and they did.

    I had an issue with my ice dispenser and I had two different contractors come out. I had to have a second opinion, because the first one tried to say that it was not wear and tear and that I broke it due to excessive force. It was weird, because he barely even looked at it. I pulled the ice bin out, and he just glanced down and made a note. He said, "All right. Well, American Home Shield will be contacting you." I didn't hear anything back from him, and it wasn't until I logged into my home warranty account that I saw that he notated all that.

    When the second contractor came out, he seemed like he knew what he was doing compared to the first guy, and he was awesome. He was more extensive, and he did stuff to the freezer to make sure. I told him about the first time and he said, "Was it All Brands Appliance and Repair?" I said, "I'm not really sure." I logged into my American Home Shield account to look at the information, and that's who it was. The second contractor told me that All Brands Appliance and Repair is known for doing that to people. A lot of people are just gullible enough to be, "Oh, well. I guess there's nothing I can do." They go ahead and pay for the repair, and they're getting screwed out of their warranty that they're paying for.

They were denying my claim and I said that I was good on the coverage and I'll just use an independent contractor to get the AC fixed because a lot of them will do that free diagnostic and then offer some sort of financing option. AHS offered to send out a second opinion and if they agree with the first technician, then I would have to pay the additional $100 service fee. If he doesn’t, AHS would waive it for me and proceed with the claim, which is what happened. The second guy from DSR Air was great. He looked at way more components of the whole system than the first technician did. He came with a whole toolkit and then, they were ordering the parts, which are supposed to be here next week. AHS offers a whole bunch of different coverages and people should look at the different coverage options and make whatever choice is best for them.

    We have had AHS for a number of years when we lived in Arkansas. When we bought our home when we relocated back to Kansas, we picked it back up again. We've had them for the last 12 years. Typically, we do our stuff online and the claim process goes through pretty quickly. But our experience with them, living in Arkansas, was not as pleasant. Because we live in a small town so sometimes, they could hook us up and we were in queue with whatever company was supposed to come to do the service and unfortunately, because of us living in a smaller town, some of those companies couldn't always come within the 24 to 48-hour window. So not necessarily American Home Shield’s fault by any means.

    Now, here, we’ve had to make a couple of claims recently and they've gone very well then. We had a dryer quit working. It wouldn't start, so we had to replace the fuse. They came out and they fixed that. Within a week, we had an issue with the dishwasher not doing what it was supposed to do and we were able to get that rectified as well. All Brand Appliance Repair was the one who came out and was professional, helpful and resourceful. I had a question. We were talking about cleaning something and he gave us some input. He wasn't pushy or wasn’t trying to sell us anything they had in store. Just made a general recommendation, “This is an overall good product for this brand and machine, if you need something, for cleaning purposes.”

    Since we've been in this home here, AHS has been very well. The only thing, when you do your ticket, you never know who's coming out. So it ends up with a roshambo of what service company you get. When we lived in Arkansas, our air conditioner was in our attic and it flooded down our wall. It was running on the inside of the wall. But we didn't catch it till it had ruined lots of brand new flooring. Once that AC part got fixed, it ended up having to go into our homeowner's insurance to fix it so we could get our flooring all done. But then we had another problem with the air conditioning. Then they sent a different company. If a part has to be serviced, it would be a good thing to be able to send the same company back out. Like if my dryer keels over again, I would rather have All Brand come back out because they've already been there, they've already fixed whatever and they knew the work they did.

    I called American Home Shield and asked them to have someone come out and work on my spa hot tub. Techs came and said the claim was denied because it was due to freezing. But this was in the middle of summer so I contested it. American Home Shield sent another person out to check it. He told them the part was cracked so again, the home warranty blamed it on a freeze in the middle of summer, which didn't make sense. I asked for my money back because they billed me the fee to send the repairmen out. They told me I'd get a refund but I never did.

    That aside, American Home Shield is okay for the most part. I called them recently about a plumbing issue and a couple of days there, they had a plumber there. He fixed the issue right away. The spa claim was just one issue that wasn't handled well. The other thing is sometimes it's difficult to talk to somebody in another country. When I call in, I'm not talking to a person in the US.

    Also, you never know who they're going to send as the provider. If I have a plumber come to my house and he does a perfect job, I'll probably get somebody else when I call back. Why can’t I get the same plumber that came out that did a good job? American Home Shield builds up a little confidence in that and every time we get a new guy, we don't know who they are, where they come from, and what job they do. We have had the same air conditioning repair guy for 15 years and we trust them. If I call American Home Shield again and I could ask for the same company, I'd be glad to do that. They could also look it up and ask, “We had Jay’s Plumbing come out last time. Can they come out again?” We'd say, “They did a good job. That'd be good.”

I am now told that it's the compressor, almost every part of the system has now been replaced with aftermarket parts for a 5-ton central AC. This will mean that I will have to recharge the system for a second time that's another $600 on top of the contract service fees. If this would have been done in 1-2 days fine I might have lived with it. It has been one week (little leeway because of the 4th of July) and the contractor does not let me know of the status and neither does AHS. I called today and the contractor just "submitted" the claim for the compressor. I have no idea how long this will take.

    I submitted a request through the American Home Shield website. They changed the way that contractor is assigned. The way that it worked in the past was the person that was assigned would contact you to set up an appointment time. That was not what happened in this instance. I checked the website for an update because I got a text that same night saying somebody's been assigned. All I got from the website was that I needed to contact the contractor myself. If I had known that that part had changed, I would have called them sooner instead of waiting a day and sweltering through the weekend.

    The contractor sent text messages prior to them coming out letting us know that we needed to make sure the unit was off and what the next steps would be if certain things weren't done prior, which was very clear to follow. When their tech came out, he was able to fix the unit that same day. He was in and out of my house in less than an hour because he had the necessary part in his vehicle to repair my unit. I was absolutely happy with the service that was provided. They were really clear with explaining what had gone wrong with my unit as well as the resolution.

    I got a call about a month ago to renew my contract with American Home Shield and I was happy to do so because I've had a few things going on in the last year and it's been great. I normally had a fast response time. I went over the new pricing package for this updated contract and agreed to it. The contract was renewed on June 23rd. The contract amount was $1,400 and 117 was supposed to be taken out on a monthly basis with the checking account that we've had on file on auto pay.

    When the contract renewal happened, they took out the annual amount instead of the monthly amount. They refused to refund the money. I was given the runaround over the course of seven days. Last Thursday I think I called them and every agent that I spoke to said they couldn't help me and that wasn't something that was within their purview to assist me with. They would need to have somebody call me back. I never got a callback so I would call again. I called back on Friday, Saturday, and Tuesday. The person I spoke with on Tuesday said they would investigate on their end. But there was nothing to investigate as far as I'm concerned because they overdrew my bank account. I've had payments kicked back because I had to take money from my savings account and put it into my checking account to cover all of the other things. There were a lot of extra steps that were taken there.

    On the whole, American Home Shield sucks and I'm so disappointed with them. I had spoken to seven different agents throughout the last week up until the point that I was told that they needed to investigate. I asked to speak to a supervisor and no one was available but they could call me back in 24 to 48 hours. I asked to have my contract cancelled and they sent me over to the retention department. The retention department then was able to give me the refund for the money that was taken from my account. My experience with this renewed contract cycle has been less than stellar compared to everything else prior to this. I'm not a happy camper with American Home Shield. But when it comes to actually sending out technicians, that has been great for the last 13 months that I've been dealing with them.

    The techs that AHS sent came out to fix the AC the first time and discovered that they didn't have a fan that fit, so they had to order the part. I had to wait a week, so I had no air conditioning. They got the part in, and they put the new part in. Dennis from A-US Air Condition let me know that when they were here, they had overfilled it. He said I was only supposed to have 75 psi. After they filled it, I had over 100 psi. Who paid for all that Freon? He said, “Oh, you didn't pay for it.” But nobody could mansplain it to me as to how I didn’t pay for it. He told me that that blew the valve on the new compressor that they got me. So, now, they have to get me a new compressor valve that doesn't scream. My neighbors are complaining because it's so loud. I'm afraid the HOA is gonna give me a ticket.

It would come on, but it would blow hot air. I submitted a claim then American Home Shield called and let me know who my contractor was going to be and then put me in touch with them. That went smoothly and relatively quickly. The repair people were friendly and moved pretty quickly as well.

They almost had to rebuild it but eventually, they figured out that it had some more problems and they finally replaced it after several times of trying to fix it.

So he called it in and American Home Shield was reordering the microwave to send a new one. But they dropped the ball. They never ordered the microwave. So I waited a whole month.

    American Home Shield ordered another microwave and it came. But when they did the order, they didn't put in that somebody was supposed to install the microwave. I told them, "How's that fair to me when that was my original? Someone to install the microwave." The lady that I spoke to said that she put it on a list for a contractor to come out and install the microwave. A couple of weeks passed, but no one called or showed up. I called American Home Shield and they said that no one accepted the contract to come out and install my microwave.

    I had to find someone to install my microwave. American Home Shield said, "We'll give you $125 to find your own contractor to install the microwave. However, they have to be licensed and all this and here's the list and all of this." They sent me a list of people not to select and if I select someone, they had to have a license and certification.

    I have no problem with AHS in their promise in assigning a contractor to me. But one technician is gonna have to come out for the third time. He's not fixing the problem. The claim was put in for a leak under the kitchen sink and the guest bathroom toilet occasionally sounds like it's running. When he came out to fix the sink the first time, he thought it was the hose from the faucet that was loose, and water was running down that pipe to under the sink. That didn't turn out to be it because the next time he came, it happened again. Water was puddled under the sink. He said that it needed to be caulked around where the granite and the sink meet. But he's done a very sloppy job of caulking it. I haven't put stuff back under the sink because I don't know whether it's finally fixed or not. The bathroom door stays closed most of the time but I've gone down the hallway, and I hear that “flushing” sound again. He had replaced a part he said.

    I've used AHS previously at other houses. The other contractor that they assigned was for my kitchen stove. The guy had to order two burners, came back out, and fixed it. But I have had an experience where the contractor was ugly at the house before I bought this one. I asked AHS to go ahead and take that person off the list of being assigned to me. I've already said the same thing about this Wades Plumbing also. I don't want to use them again but understand this is under a 30-day guarantee so he needs to come out and fix the problem.

    I hope that American Home Shield is asking customers if the work has been done in a timely manner and satisfactorily. This same plumbing company, when they were assigned to me, I didn't hear anything for days and days. I kept leaving voicemail messages. I couldn't leave a message because the mailbox was full. When I finally, the next week, was able to talk to a person, I asked her what was taking so long. She said she's been on vacation. When I had to recall and have him come back out, I still had an issue with making an appointment. I would call and couldn't leave a message because the voicemail box was full.

    I called AHS and told them to go ahead and take the company off my list. This company doesn't care that the problem has inconvenienced their customer. AHS needs to be more aware of what's going on, and maybe more people like me are not complaining. But I'm gonna complain. I live alone and don't have anybody that can fix it. That's why I pay the AHS fee every month. I had paid AHS for years and years. Another problem was the water heater needed to be replaced. When it was to be replaced, it had to be “brought up to code.” Instead of paying a mere $75, I had to pay over 1,000 to get a new water heater. I still am not happy about that, but I had to pay it to have a water.

    We've been with AHS for almost four years and we've been happy with the services we got. I like that with AHS, I don't have to worry about how much it will cost or the parts. Everything is taken care of under the warranty. Also, if you've got multiple issues with appliances, you can put them together. There was a leak in the faucet recently and the plumber did a good job. Everything is fine now.

    AHS is a great asset to have as a homeowner. Being from out of town, not knowing people that fix things, it's easier for me to just call American Home Shield to get something fixed if something breaks. The process was good with my most recent claim. I called and the person set up the appointment to come, then they came on the day that they said they were gonna come, and they fixed the problem.

    The pilot wouldn't stay lit on our hot water heater. There's a flame detector built into the pilot system and it wasn't detecting flame. I called AHS and got the approval. They had a plumbing company scheduled and they came out and did the work. They cleaned all the parts and now, everything works and there's hot water. Another claim was there was a gas valve that needed to be replaced for the dryer. It was leaking gas and I had to shut the main gas valve off. It went similarly well. Having AHS is convenient and it saves money. I've had them as my home warranty company since I bought a house a decade ago. They probably were not happy to have me as a customer then because in that house, they ended up replacing my hot water heater, the garbage disposal, and all sorts of stuff. I only paid the call-out fee.

    We had a refrigerator claim and the contractor never showed up. I wasn't too happy about that and we had to pay to get the item that was damaged fixed. Then we had the oven go down. I called American Home Shield and said, "Can I get my 75 bucks back from the previous guy who never showed up?" So they were able to get that credit and then they charged me the 75 bucks for the oven fix. I told American Home Shield that they should give me their best technical company that could come out and fix the oven since the last guy didn't show up. So they gave me this company called TBL and I was completely satisfied with them.

    The guy from TBL that came out was real nice. Based on what's going on with the supply chain, you gotta wait two weeks for a part. But it was a reasonable time. It took two and a half weeks for the part. The gentleman that did the job was super friendly and good. We're cooking now again so with the oven and the microwave. Everything seemed to work out pretty good. We've been paying American Home Shield 80 bucks a month for the last six years and I'm getting value out of it. The circuit board on the oven would have been about 600 bucks to replace. So as long as I can recoup some of the money that I paid over time, I'm satisfied.

A guy came in and he wasn't even in my place more than three minutes. He didn't turn on the dishwasher and he just said it was not a dishwasher issue but a plumbing issue. I had to be charged for the service that he came here for. He asked me to sign some documents but I told him, “I'm not going to sign it because you didn't do anything.”

    American Home Shield reschedule a plumber. The plumber told me that the issue was something very simple and the first guy could have fixed it. There was something stuck in the air of the dishwasher so he put some type of a wire in there and he fixed it. The last time we had the dishwasher fixed, it was a week and a half ago. We had another claim when we were not getting cold air. A tech had to change a small piece in there. Everything is fine now. I had another claim and it was for my fridge.

    The latest service call I had with American Home Shield was pretty bad. It was for a dishwasher that was not dispensing hot water or drying, and it took almost five weeks before they could get my dishwasher repaired. The appliance company Home Shield provided didn't show up. They didn't call. It was very unprofessional. It took a couple of weeks for them to show up, and it took another few weeks before they can order the part. They didn't show up when they were supposed to so I had to call Home Shield and have the appliance companies changed. So, that took about another week. I had a couple of claims before, and every time, they use the same appliance company. It had been the same issue. They should screen the contractors or company they work with a little better.

    We've had to use American Home Shield a few times, and it's been fine. On our last service however, the repairman took a week to get to us and we’re on 100-degree weather in Florida. I called American Home Shield and see if they could get somebody out faster. I had said something to someone that I had medical conditions and couldn't handle heat very well. They tried to expedite the ticket but nobody could pick it up faster than that Thursday. We ended up getting a few tower fans put through the house because we were desperate.

    The repairman tried to get me in earlier and said that the best he could do was the day that he said he had to come out. When he came, it took 30 minutes for him to figure out what was down with our AC, and he fixed it. This is the second time we've used American Home Shield for our AC. For the first time we had our AC worked on, it was the complete opposite where our AC wouldn't shut off. It was constantly running cold, and it was freezing us out in the house. American Home Shield has saved us money. The only thing we've had to pay is for the service call fee which is a little much, 75 bucks.

    The ac unit was freezing up. I sent the claim in online. It was over the weekend, so it took a while for the contractor to get back to me. But they got to me after the holiday weekend was over. They put some freon in and replaced the valve that was leaking. However, it’s a toss-up right now if I’m gonna continue with American Home Shield. I’m paying 100 bucks. I didn’t pay for the valve replacement, but I had no idea what that value was. And I had to pay for some of the Freon.

    It’s my gut feeling that the people coming probably will do the minimum, just because if they go overboard with replacements or fixes, that doesn’t necessarily look good on their record with AHS. So, in some ways, they do what’s needed but don’t push beyond to make a sale. It’s to my advantage because they’re not looking to stick AHS with a lot of expenses. So, they do what’s needed and leave, instead of some that might come and sell me on a home with the new system when I don’t need it. But as far as cost-wise, it’s $600 a year for me.

    Our AC went out two weeks ago and it took a week for American Home Shield to get somebody to come out to look at it because they said that it was a heatwave. That was very inconvenient. It was hot and I had people over. I had a lot of things going on. I needed to turn the oven on 'cause I'm a baker and I was going to make a cake for somebody, but I cancelled because it was too unbearable to turn the oven on in the house.

    The repairman that came was very informative. He got the job done. Thank God we have our AC back. But it made us think about switching to someone else. With American Home Shield, if your AC goes out and it needs freon, you have to pay for the freon. But with Choice, you don't have to. Also Choice charges you $65 to come out while American Home Shield charges $100.

    We usually call American Home Shield for our claims and talk to somebody that doesn't speak English, and then they set up the claim. I did have a problem with them at first. Our bathtub was leaking a little bit. I think the faucet needed to be replaced. They sent somebody out and they said, “Oh, well, it was pre-existing.” So, they didn't do anything with it, but they charged me $100 just for the service call. The floor was a little bit warped, but when we crawled underneath there, the floor was fine. It was probably just the tiles getting wet from the tub.

    Then, we have been waiting so long on them when that happened that I got somebody out here to look at the well pump. When we bought the place, we got the electricity put in our name and we didn't move in until February. We're trying to understand why we have a $150 electric bill. Come to find out the pump was continuously running. I ended up calling a contractor out here to do it myself because I'm not gonna sit there and wait on them. I got a seven-year-old and a 17-year-old now. I'm not gonna sit there and wait a week or two for them to get somebody out here, and then they got to go back and fill out this report, and then they got to send it into them, and then they need to get ahold of me to let me know what the problem is and take at least a week. I didn't have that kind of time at the time.

    I was very dissatisfied with this latest experience I had except for when they came out and fixed the air conditioner. They were prompt about that. I was impressed with that. But when they sent somebody out and charged me 100 bucks to tell me it was pre-existing, I could have told them it was pre-existing before he even came out here. I'm not very happy with it because I paid $850 to get this coverage and the only thing they've done for me is change my thermostat.

The technician that came educated me and had me look out for some things that the previous contractor didn't bother to look at. They just wanted to charge me all this money to fix it, stating that the issue was done under warranty. But the contractor American Home Shield sent out said, “That's not so. Everything is working.” His candor was superb. And that was the most important thing I got out of it.

    I like having a warranty and not having to pay expensive costs, like for HVAC replacements. I would rather pay a small deductible of $100 when someone comes out, and that would be done. Having AHS helps cut down on trying to find a contractor to do the work because they have contractors assigned to them. That is a great benefit. It cuts a lot of time out.

    The air conditioning unit downstairs wasn't working. When the techs came out, the first diagnosis was that there wasn't enough Freon. American Home Shield only covered $10 per pound on Freon and it costs $100. It wasn't going to be covered, which was disappointing. But, what ended up happening was the tech started to put the Freon and then saw it wasn't a Freon issue. He said it was freezing up so fast. He went up and took a look at the blower unit and said that was where the problem was and ended up fixing the job the same day, and ordering the parts. I had asked him about what would this job normally have run and he said it wouldn't be any less than $1,800. So, for me, that one was a good example of where AHS came in handy to have.

    The AC has been working well. They were all great. They did everything I could have asked for. When the tech found it was a part, he came back that same day. He realized he needed another part and they had another technician go and get and then meet the technician that was at my house. I couldn't ask for more from Liberty Plumbing on that event.

It's the item here that is not covered by your warranty.” The piping isn't in accordance with how to install an Apollo system, even though it's been like that since American Home Shield replaced that water heater 11 years ago. It wasn't their fault. It’s just the plumber came in and hooked it up like that and it worked great. Now, they wanna do major changes because they say it's not up to code. I accept that.

    I also have a refrigerator claim that’s not yet done. Price Right Plumbing was the contractor assigned for that. I was told to contact them because there's something that had to be done that I had to pay for. All the tech did was come out and look at it and said it was leaking. The way it is right now, that stuff is not readily available.

    I haven't used American Home Shield very much. I had it in place because when I bought my place, the stuff here were already old and just chugging along. I've had my refrigerator for 18 years. That one died and that's also being handled by American Home Shield. I got an email from the company that American Home Shield assigned to us and all it said was they would contact me when they had the unit and were ready to install it. They would then schedule the service. If somebody has a new house with all new appliances and they're two years old, I don't recommend any warranty service. But if they have a few years on them, then I recommend having one.

    When we started American Home Shield, each callout was $50, not $100. Then, it went to $108 because they charge tax on the fee. Also, my monthly is $67 a month. As far as the cost for Home Shield, we are seriously thinking about changing. Also, you can't understand their reps. They don't speak very good English. But, the people who came out, 7-H services, they're perfect. They made sure that their feet were clean and they had their masks on. They were not afraid of our little dogs and they took very good care of the appliances. They fixed them all, except for the one that couldn't be repaired, the washer. The tech was very kind, courteous and respectful. I liked him a lot.

    Usually, the reps are very helpful. I had a leaky pipe underneath the sink and the tech came the next day. He was really good and he spotted the problem right off. I was satisfied with him. It's been really good with AHS. The only thing I didn't like is how they went up on the monthly fee. It’s a lot of money. I was very dissatisfied with that. The service charge also went up a few dollars. If I didn't want that peace of mind because something is always breaking, I would have canceled due to that.

    The first time, the air conditioning would come on, but there was absolutely no cooling. The tech found the capacitor was bad. But he did not do any other investigation of the unit. He didn't go into the crawlspace. I called because I noticed a couple of days ago that it was still running, but it was not cooling as well as it should be. I also noticed that the air coming through the vents wasn't coming up as forcefully as it normally does, so I decided to change the filter on it, even though I had changed it a few months ago. To do that, I had to go into the crawlspace.

    I took a new filter with me down to the crawlspace yesterday and as soon as I got under there, I noticed that the closest ductwork to me at that point, looked odd. I saw water in the crawlspace and I looked and it appears to be coming from the air conditioning unit. I put in the request for American Home Shield that something was not right and that we're gonna have to have a repeat visit. They told me that they couldn't get here until tomorrow, and so they're coming.

    What concerns me is that AHS never has anybody that comes here that's local. And we have a ton of services in the area. For instance, the air conditioning and heating. I've also had plumbing. They replaced a hot water heater for me a few years ago and that guy came from Montgomery. I had somebody here a couple of weeks to see about my refrigerator and my double oven and he came from Columbus, Georgia. I don't understand why AHS can't get somebody local.

    I did the claim online, and I called in. They got on it ASAP to get someone out, but once we talked to the company that came out, they couldn't come for another week. That was hell because it was 90 degrees inside the house. So, we asked AHS if they could pay for the hotel, but the rep said they don't do that. That's my only complaint with the home warranty program right now. In this Texas heat, we could have died in that house. So, we're looking for another home warranty company just for that reason.

    The service lately, with the washing machine, was aggravating, but it's been taken care of. My mom has a washing machine without an agitator. I asked her and she said she'd never get one another one without it. I told the American Home Shield person, "I want it with the agitator." To a degree, I was run around and told I was gonna have to do a restocking fee. I asked for someone to send me an email with their name and information. “Well, I can’t do that,” then the rep, Han, was able to send me an email with some information. She was totally awesome. I was able to get what I needed to be taken care of, and a washing machine with an agitator will finally be delivered this Thursday. So I’m with happy with it.

    My AC also went out, and Triad Controlled Climate and an electrical guy came to fix it. The time before, American Home Shield sent someone out to replace my condenser and I had to pay for the Freon. This time, they had to come out and replace the condenser again, which is the second time it had to be replaced because the two units don't talk to each other. That got aggravating, but now, I've got AC.

    However, there were two problems with the AC. I was told a centipede went in there and shorted it out, so the AC guy fixed that, but it also popped over my other electrical. I was told from AHS that it would be a second deductible, because it was electrical versus AC. I said, “Wait a minute. It's the same issue. My AC went out. So what's the problem with it being just one?” Then the provider from Triad Controlled Climate got on the phone and helped me with that, but I'm having issues with getting the electrical guy to come back out.

    The electrical guy said, “If there's a problem, just call me and I will get it taken care of.” I sent him an email and a text message several times. I also tried calling him for him to come back out and fix the electrical box, but I have not gotten anything back from him. All in all, having American Home Shield has been beneficial for me, and I have suggested them to others, even my pastor. I feel more secure about the house having it than I do not having it. I also put a comment on Nextdoor.com. Some people like it, some don't, and some dread American Home Shield.

    The people they sent out were really crappy. With my dryer, I called three times and they kept sending the same person. They ordered the part but I don't think the man put the new part in it because it's still not acting right. I'm constantly paying $75 for somebody to come out and fix my dryer and he probably took the new part back and sold it twice. I’m angry about that. I kept telling AHS that these people do nothing. I've had my dryer a long time and they're gonna tell me how to run my dryer.

    Also, I had an air conditioning problem. That didn’t get fixed. I had to get it fixed on the outside. When I called back, that's when the rep gave me Express Heating & Air and they were good. But AHS has crappy people who work for them. The only reason why I kept them was that I had a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine and my friend kept saying, "No, just wait.

    American Home Shield has been pretty good. I haven't had any problems with it since I've been a member for a few years. Every time I made a service call, everything is pretty sufficient. I've had to make a service call for my air, hot water heater and garbage disposal, and the contractors have come out in a timely manner. I'm pretty satisfied with them. The last thing I've made a service call on was for electrical. Wiley Electric came out and had the problem resolved pretty quickly. My circuit breaker had to be replaced, and they didn't have to come back.

    The agents are really friendly and understanding. Usually I'm calling them because I have a question about something with some coverage and they make sure that I have all my questions answered. I submit service requests online 'cause normally, when I have an issue, it's after hours. However, the last one that I had was done over the phone with a rep and it was because I had some questions with the electrical. Answering online, it didn't really give me a lot of options of what to select. So I wasn't for sure. I'm overall satisfied with American Home Shield. As a matter of fact, one of my girlfriends moved and bought a home in a different state. She asked about my home warranty and I mentioned American Home Shield.

When we called him, he said he would get in trouble ‘cause he had to talk American Home Shield first. We had to make a reschedule for free cleaning, which is cleaning out the cooling, and they said that was the problem. However, we missed two appointments with them. They never showed up. While we called American Home Shield, they said the true diagnosis was thunderstorm damage and wiring. We’re being fed lies.

    I sent in a claim and when I got the call to confirm the appointment, I let American Home Shield know that I had temporarily hooked up another water heater and asked if that was gonna be an issue. It was just a little small one. It was just enough to get a hot beginning of a shower. I had asked if I needed to switch it back over, and the rep said no. When the tech got here, he said, "Yes, because per the warranty, everything needed to be as is and connected." Luckily, he waited for us to reconnect the water heater. So overall, it was fine.

    There was a leak from the faucet in our bathtub. We went through the phone system to submit the claim and American Home Shield had somebody come out. The first company that came out said they were waiting on a part. But we weren't getting any kind of follow-up or response. We kept calling and nobody could get ahold of them. Finally, after going round and round with Home Shield, we got them to cancel the first company that came out and send out another company. The tech got it fixed that day.

    The faucet is good now but the process was aggravating because the original claim that we've made with Home Shield was in January and it was three months before we got it resolved. The first company to come out was in a couple of days. After that, it was at least once or twice a week, I would have to call American Home Shield and say, "I've heard nothing from the plumber. I've heard nothing from you. What's going on here?" I know with everything going on in the world and there are supply chain issues. But we're paying extra money because our faucet was leaking.

    Our LG clothes washer stopped working and it wouldn't turn on. We have stacked appliances, which means that the dryer is over the washer. We called American Home Shield and it took a long time from our initial call to get someone out here. They sent a company who came out and looked at the dryer then said, "These are stacked and we have to unstack them." I said that in the very first conversation. In total, there were three companies that said they would fix the issue but they never did.

    American Home Shield has a lot of terrible workers that didn't know anything. They were filling out these claims inappropriately and sending out people that couldn't do the job. The company Premier was the one that finally did it correctly. It took six weeks total from the first time that we ever submitted our first claim. American Home Shield just deleted the claim out of the system and didn't even fix it so we had to call back again and again. We used about 50 hours total. We lost two days of work for it. It was my persistence that finally got the unit fixed.

    The ball was completely dropped from the American Home Shield when you call and speak to those young girls that don't know anything. They're not willing to ask a supervisor or look up the research or find out what they're really supposed to do. That was where the problem was. The last rep asked and found out what she was supposed to do and did it. She did it right.

    Premier came in after a couple of appointments because they had to find out if the unit was stacked and what the problem was and order the part. They unstacked the dryer, repaired the motherboard in the clothes washer and the main computer frame then put it back together. They stepped up and followed through. They finished fixing the dryer and now it works. On the whole, the experience was so frustrating because we weren't getting any results. I was just so grateful for Premier because they handled it. They are a good company and they were professional. I liked them. All the other companies were terrible.

    We've had some issues with American Home Shield like their slow response time and my paying some things that I didn't think I should have paid because I'm already paying so much a month just to have it. So, that's sort of bothered me a little bit but overall, just having that comfort that there's somebody there to pay for some very expensive stuff has been an advantage for me.

    Eagle came out recently for the AC. They looked at the air conditioning system and it was working when they left, but I don't know if they tested enough at a low temperature because later on, it started doing the same thing it was doing before they came out. They're gonna come out again tomorrow to take another look at it. I’m gonna stay with them a little longer and tell them what's going on. They might have missed something.

    In the last experience with the air conditioner, I was trying to get it fixed and there were certain parts they wanted the air conditioner people to put in. They cost me a lot of money and I had an estimate from someone else and it didn't cost that much. When I asked the company that came out why, they said, “Well, we have to do this in case you call back, and they charge us again ‘cause you're not happy with the service. So we have to do the parts again.” I said, “Really? ‘Cause the parts, they're not old. It's a new system, three or four years old. So why you got to do all of that?” I had just had it checked out with someone else, and that bothered me a little bit. Then they came back and they had an offer to buy a new system from the same company with a different connection. I felt like I was being taken to the cleaners.

    One time I said I was gonna just cancel the program because I wasn't happy, but they came back and got the air conditioning people back out, and they fixed it. It was too time-consuming. I didn't feel like it was as fast as it should have been. It might have had a lot to do with the communication with the upfront folks because I talked to one person, then they were gonna send me to a supervisor and when I got to the supervisor, that person spoke bad English too. He was worse than the first one. It's almost like they transferred it down the hall. I felt like I was getting the runaround.

    I wish AHS would have somebody that could speak good English. They're doing what a lot of people do. They're shopping it out. So, sometimes it's very difficult to understand what the other person is saying. It's difficult trying to explain what's going on and sometimes, it gets muddled a little bit. They were terrible, but it's inconvenient when you have to call them back.

    Overall, we like American Home Shield. We've been with them for years, and with the time that they have sent people out, it's worked out great. However, we've had some bad experiences with a few of the companies they've sent. This happened years ago where the company said that they were going to be out here a different time. They made the appointment for us without even talking to us. We got it under text that they'd be here. We were here for the appointment, but they never came. We had to do an investigation with them and it was a big mishap. It delayed our progress in getting fixed.

    Recently, we had our AC worked on. The experience was both good and bad. A contractor came out on the 29th and fixed my AC. I'm not too happy I had to pay extra for the coolant, but it is what it is. We had a leak which they fixed but two days later, it started breaking down again. I had to wait till yesterday for them to come out and fix it again. It was a different technician and a different issue but the same company. It's weird how they didn’t see it the first time. Within a few days, another piece on that air conditioner broke. The guy was here yesterday and everything seems to be working great today. In our first visit, we had a guy named Michael. He was very pleasant with us. He was training the other guy. The second guy that came out was less talkative, and just came in here, did the job, and left. But he got the job done. I'm assuming they purposely sent a more experienced tech to look at it.

    One thing that bugged especially my wife was my air was out and it was a recall. Since they'd already come out, we should have gotten a little bit higher priority to get it fixed. But when she was on the phone, they said they were gonna contact us between 24 and 48 hours. I've never heard of that much of a wait. I figured it was her mistake in not saying it because then we heard from them the next day and everything went well.

    I'm very happy and thankful that we have American Home Shield. It's helped us in many occasions. I usually do a claim online. It is quicker, and I enjoy that aspect. But what happened was, in this case, I had a call back. The phone call was funny. I had a five-minute hold, waiting time. It gave me the offer to call me back and I went ahead and did that. An hour and a half later, they called back. While I was waiting for the hour and a half, I figured out how to do it online right away. The lady called and she double-checked everything with me. She had an accent that I had a little trouble understanding. But overall, I understood everything.

    I called American Home Shield before signing up for a home warranty and specifically asked them, "Would our air conditioner be covered?" Would they replace it if it breaks down? I was assured, yes. It's broken down twice already and we've only lived in the house for six weeks. Those times, the repairman was like, “You need a new one.” But, they never agreed to pay for it. So with that one item in particular, it feels like we were misled a little bit. But there have been other things that AHS has repaired, so that's been nice.

    For our recent claim, the garage door stopped working. The contractor who fixed it did a great job. No issues since then. There's been a number of issues when AHS has sent someone out but they have corrected it to our satisfaction. We were disappointed in the one for the water heater. The company that they referred us to had a waitlist of over a week. Our decision was either to go over a week without hot water or just find a plumber who could come right away. So we canceled that claim and just found our own plumber. But other than that, they've been fast to respond.

    We've had American Home Shield policies at two different houses. We had a claim where Climate Kings came out and it was the most trouble that I've had from the most recent issue. Initially, we called saying that the air conditioner was not working. This was back at the end of June. Climate Kings just tried to band-aid fix it the first time. They topped it off with Freon, called it a day, and left. That night, it quit working again, so I called them back. They came out the next day after that. They said, “Oh, the entire air conditioning unit needs to be replaced. But it’s July Fourth weekend." I was like, ‘Hey, I get that. That's understandable.” It was bad luck on our side, but at least it's going to be replaced. I contacted them on July 5th, and they said, “Yeah, we're waiting on American Home Shield to approve it. We've submitted everything. We're good to go on that.”

    I called the day before yesterday. This is now three weeks, and American Home Shield had not even submitted the claim to get the parts yet. We’re in the midst of a heatwave that is extremely dangerous. I was like, “My mom lives with us. She’s elderly. We have heat advisories going on. Why are the parts not being ordered?” No one could answer it. After I raised a claim with them threatening to email the CEOs and every vice president I could find on LinkedIn, they finally called yesterday and said, “We just wanted to let you know that we did order the parts. We're just waiting on them.”

    To be fair, though, AHS is also the most expensive one. We’re in the middle of inflation and when we purchased the contract, they didn’t account for that inflation. So, they’re losing money a little bit on having to replace an entire unit, but it is what it is. We have a contract for six months before we even got to that point. I did try to do a maintenance thing through American Home Shield. They clean out your AC ducts and everything right before the summer hits. I signed up for that, and paid for it and then, they called me back and said, “Hey, we can’t find anyone that’s willing to do it, so we’re canceling it.”

    The home warranty is paying for itself. Thankfully, we are in a position where we can run to Home Depot and purchase a window unit to try to keep the house somewhat cool for my mom who’s there, but someone else who didn't have that capability to where they could go out and purchase it was relying on their home warranty to keep their house up and running. I would not recommend American Home Shield based on this. Also, they are doing the service, but we are gonna come out of pocket with some money. On top of that, they’re dragging their feet on getting it set up. I've been on the phone with them at least five times trying to get these things done.

    I had a couple of electrical outlets that were out, my microwave was out and I had one light that was out. I called the American Home Shield, and it wasn't too hard to get through. The tech did great service. He was very professional. Overall, AHS has been good but also, I had other issues that they didn't cover, which I felt they should have. I had a clog somewhere in my home, and the contractor said that I needed a cleanout to fix the problem, which was a modification. So American Home Shield didn’t want to cover it. They had a second contractor come out. He barely looked at it and he went along with what American Home Shield said was the problem. I got a third contractor come to my house who was able to fix the clog without doing a cleanout.

    We had a huge issue with AHS last year. We had A1 Plumbing come and they were horrible. There was an issue with the overflowed toilet and they tried to fix it. They kept adding on to the job and that ended up costing us $1,500. At that point, there was no backing out because they had removed the toilet. I filed five complaints with American Home Shield's managers and nobody would call me back. Nobody ever responded. But other than that, it's pretty easy to work with them. Recently, the air wasn't working. The tech took a look at it and he fixed the problem.

    I love American Home Shield for the peace of mind. Our washing machine went out and we used them. They have been good to us and the warranty is totally worth it. We appreciate the company and I told my wife that as long as we own a house, we'll always have the home warranty. Their techs are outstanding and very prompt. They explain exactly what they're doing.

    I had a problem with my plumbing and submitting the claim to American Home Shield was good. A lot of times, it took a little longer. The plumbing company that did the work didn't get back to me right away. But after they got there, they were fine. The tech said the problem was because of a vent. I've been with American Home Shield for a long time. I just sold my house and I paid for a year for the people that bought it. If I buy a house, I’ll get American Home Shield again. I recommended the home warranty and two of my friends got it.

    I have a leak that I think is caused by stoppage in my drainage system under my toilet, and I'm trying to get somebody out here to fix it. I’ve had two people out on three different occasions. And right now, we've decided that it looks like there might be a blockage in the drain pipe causing it to back up and overflow through a crack. It’s the only thing we can think of, and that's what needs to be investigated next. The past claims were a lot quicker than this one. All the plumbers are overbooked. But American Home Shield seems to grasp what I'm saying right off the bat without me having to explain in too many different ways. I understand them when they're explaining to me what's going on on their end. You keep good service.

    The guy who came to look at the dishwasher didn't speak too much English. So, I couldn't understand what he was saying. Also, a part had to be ordered and he'll come back out next Wednesday.

    I re-upped with American Home Shield because I was happy with my first year with them. There's quick customer service and they are able to get people out after I put a service request in. Timeliness is the biggest thing. I used them for a faucet pipe that was leaking. We're still in the process of finalizing the problem. There was a claim that was put in and we just got a response saying that my warranty covers part of it. I have to call them back to determine exactly what. I'm assuming I have to pay something out of pocket. On the whole, I'm happy with everything that has happened in my year and a half with American Home Shield.

    Extreme Heating and Air came for my air conditioner that's broken. They've been perfect thus far. I talked to American Home Shield this morning and they just got the paperwork from Extreme today. They said they'll be ordering the compressor. I've had American Home Shield with my last several homes. I've recommended them to several other people that are homeowners. They're one of the top home warranty companies in the United States. This is the first time I'm having to use them to do to a repair and I'm praying that I get my air conditioning repaired soon and it all goes smoothly.

    Our air conditioning units weren't working and the contractor identified that the issue was not anything to do with our air conditioner unit and that they needed us to get an electrician out. So then, we called an electrician, and the electrician came out and was able to fix the issue. Everything was great.
