Appliance Wizards got back to me right away, came out and replaced something in the refrigerator and fixed the dishwasher. The front door broke on the dishwasher. It was making funky noises. They said that was because the screws have broken off and the dishwasher wasn't setting in correctly. They're a great company to work with. They even called to check to see if my stuff was good. I’ve been with American Home Shield for a long time and I wouldn't change.

I changed my American Home Shield contract. It went from $89 to 66 some dollars. But since the time that I've changed it, I haven't seen a payment deducted out of my account. It has been a bit more than two months since I changed. But my recent service was excellent and timely. Plumbing in my bathroom had flooded one night. The contractor came over the next day and took care of it for me. They called and let me know and set up the appointment. And they also called me 15 minutes before arrival. They were highly professional.

A plumber had some plumbing work done and was very responsive. That experience was very good. But I had some air conditioning problems last year in the summer, and that dragged on and on. Summertime’s not a good time for air conditioning problems to drag out. They would come out and look then they had to go think about it. It would take three days to think about it. Then they had to find a part. They were trying to do the work as cheaply as they could. They were trying to find ways to not do as much as they could get away with.

I recently purchased a rehab house, so I worked on it. I changed all the plumbing except for a copper line, and it just so happened that I really didn't have time to get to it because of my work schedule. So, I had to call American Home Shield and they sent someone who took care of it. He was a pretty good guy. We talked for about an hour about different things. He did a great job.
American Home Shield is a great service. It's a great backup plan in case something goes wrong. The most benefit I see is that AHS is going to have somebody come out and they're gonna repair whatever is wrong within a reasonable amount of coverage. That's helpful, too. So it's not like I'm just paying my monthly premium. If something happens, it pays for itself. The only thing that I really didn't like was they gave me too much time before they actually took the deductible. It took two weeks.

The service is okay. But on my last repair, the website was down for a week. So, I had to call in every time I needed to do anything. It's so difficult to get someone on the phone. There's also a language barrier and there's a weird connection where we're interrupting each other the whole time. Online, I can just submit the repair, pay my $75, and go from there.
Other than that, the contractor that came was my favorite. We've had a lot of people come out for appliance repair and Appliance Doctor is the best one. The tech comes the day of and he is always on time. He immediately gets the resolution. If he doesn't have the part, he'll get it within a day or so. Other contractors that get assigned will be weeks out, and then have to come back two and three times.

I was a little surprised by my first call. I thought I was paying 50 for the service, and I had to pay $100 immediately before I could get a service person to come out. I said, "Well, okay. We'll see what happens if I have to call again." The servicemen were two young guys and it was only a day before they came out. When they arrived, they were very professional and did a good job. They fixed a small leak under the sink in my guest bathroom.

I've had three experiences with American Home Shield and they've all been positive. The service is relatively low cost and reassuring. I'm satisfied with the service, and I'll continue subscribing. It's worthwhile for me. Recently, I did a claim for the garbage disposal that wasn't working and the contractor called me that day. They arrived following day, within the window that they advised me. They fixed it in about 10 minutes.

The people seem to be fine. As a matter of fact, one day I called them and they were able to come out the same day, but so far, they've had to make four trips for the air conditioner. This time, they replaced the compressor, which is a pretty major deal. However, I am not a 100% satisfied customer so far. American Home Shield has been sending people out to get the job done, but it's an old piece of equipment. When do we give up patching it up and just put a new one in there? If it breaks down again, I'm gonna have to have a serious talk with somebody.

I just had my air conditioner fixed after I called a month ago. It was the first major claim that I had. I had two claims. One was a fuse for the dryer. That worked fine. But this one took a little longer than I had expected and I did not realize that we had to pay for the part. At one point, one of the repairmen called back and said he couldn't get the part. That was when I called American Home Shield back. I asked, "If you can't get the part, what's the next step?” If it took so long to get the part, why couldn't we get a replacement?
Another contractor called back and said they could put a new system in for a 10% discount. I wasn't pleased with that after so many years of paying for American Home Shield. I'm in consideration of not even having them anymore. I was battling with them back and forth. Eventually, the contractor showed up 21 days later with the part. But there could have been more contact. It would have been good if I didn't have to constantly call them after their contractor came out and checked the system. But I had to always call. It wasn't a good customer service to me on their part, when I've worked in customer service and know what I had to do when I was on the other end.

I like American Home Shield. They're a good company. I had it before. But the only thing is, the price for the people to come out is expensive. Also, you gotta be careful who you get on the phone. When I talked to a rep, “So you’re telling me that you can't help” she said, “I cannot do anything.” But when my husband called, he got a different understanding.
We called about a mini split. First, the guy that sold us the stuff said it was the motherboard. Now he said it's something else. When I initially called them, they went on to tell me this should have been under a warranty. I was not happy with that. Because whether it's under warranty or not, I was calling because I needed help. They said, "It's not our fault." I said, “I know nothing that breaks down is your fault. But this is the service that you provide is what I'm thinking.” They said, “I don't think you're covered for that.” I said, “Okay.” When my husband called them, they saw that we were covered for something and they came out. They've been out twice, but I gotta get them back out here because now, the other part is in.

The contractor was an old couple but they were very friendly and knowledgeable people. They were very fast and they communicated. It was everything I needed. They replaced the motor for my pool but they couldn't fix the chlorinator cap that was broken. They said that was not covered. I told them, "Fine, I'll pay for it out of pocket." But the problem is just really a cap on the side of the pipe. That hasn't been fixed. They told me they were gonna look for a chlorinator cap and get back to me. But it's been a week, two weeks now. Other than that, I like AHS's service.

We aren't thrilled about not being able to pick our own technicians. Other than that, the service we've had through them has been satisfactory. The most recent one with a water heater replacement was prompt, understanding just the nature of any sort of major home product replacement under current supply chain conditions. The contractor responded quickly to assess the situation. Once we agreed to have them do the service, they placed the order for the water heater and other components that were needed to bring us up to code. Those were a bit of a surprise.
They told us an expansion tank and a pressure regulator valve were required to comply with code at this point in time and those were not covered under the home warranty. Even with those, based on the other prices we were able to get for a water heater replacement, we saved as much as $1,000 or more. So, we felt we were getting some of our monthly home warranty premiums back.
But we felt we weren't getting full disclosure. I read through the home warranty multiple times and I have a pretty fair understanding of it but there was no way to communicate directly with AHS. I wrote letters asking for their management to contact us and we got no response whatsoever. That left a really bad taste in our mouths. We have a renewal coming up in mid-August and we're looking at other home warranty companies to see if our experience might be better with them.

AZ had done my dishwasher and two refrigerators and they're wonderful. One of the refrigerators was not working and the other has got some issues with the tray. The trash compactor was not working.

American Home Shield has a reputation for having good service. They were reasonably priced compared to others. It's a little high-priced, but overall, it's okay. They did go up on me. It was 49 and now, it's like 54. I call them to report my problem and they contact whoever needs to come out to do the service. They're pretty quick at responding and getting someone out here quickly. The contractor that they sent to repair my washer and dryer did an excellent job. I know ordering parts was gonna take a little while. As soon as the parts were available, they were contacting me. Everything was good. The repair guy was very professional and wore a mask and I was pleased with that.

After putting in a service request for our a/c unit I was assigned to a contractor that was no longer in business. When bringing this to the attention of AHS I was on the phone for hours before they would try to reach out to another contractor. They told me to call back in 4 hours if I hadn't heard from them. I didn't and so I called back. They then told me they weren't able to find any available contractors in my city, Shreveport, LA (population 190,000 people)??? They told me to find a contractor on my own and they MIGHT reimburse me if the requirements are met. I reached out to a trusted company and they said that AHS has never worked for them because they don't want to pay their prices. Here I am stranded in the 105 degree heat, out of $100 on top of the warranty cost, and pending charges to actually get the work done. I wish I could just get my $100 back. Not a satisfied customer at all. This feels like a scam.

Having a home warranty gives a sense of relief. American Home Shield has been very satisfying and I've been recommending the. I work in a hardware store and a lot of people there are familiar with AHS. I call when I have a claim and pay the $100 deposit. American Home Shield does what it has to do. I did a claim when there was it a condensation build-up from the coils from the inside furnace part and it was getting my basement wet. We wanted to make sure nothing was leaking. I've had two encounters with the two people that came out and they both dealt with our AC issues. They have been off the chain very helpful and they made you feel confident about what was going on. they looked professional as well.
American Home Shield could improve by adding more services. This type of insurance is for everything internal versus if you have house insurance that is for external. That aside, American Home Shield is very easy and simple to operate for the signup system online. It was explained very well in the beginning when I first signed up. I was told that I would have to pay $100, technicians come out, and they handle everything from there. That includes labor, materials, and everything else. That is definitely a life-changer.
Also, American Home Shield is business-oriented, which I like. It's because, when I called in, it was, "What's your problem? Okay, all right. Hey, let's go ahead and set this up." They tell you what you need upfront then they do the service. I've used the warranty on three or four occasions. One time was for a garage door issue. The techs got that serviced and taken care of.
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.

AHS is worth it because it's a peace of mind. I had a refrigerator malfunction. The contractor was professional. The tech did some troubleshooting and then they ordered some parts. The lines were still messed up after he did the replacement parts so they had to ship everything back. American Home Shield has different options on their website.

I like the peace of mind that I get with having American Home Shield. They recently sent Comfort First. I had no heating on the second floor. They found that it was a mechanism.

It’s been a very good experience with AHS. We had an electrical wiring issue. In our living room, our ceiling fan and light had a wire that got pinched. When you turn on the fan or the light, it caused the circuit breaker to trip and knocked out all the power in the room including our television. It was an easy fix once the tech identified it.

My HVAC needs to be replaced and I wasn't aware that I would have to come out of pocket with $675. AHS was saying that something wasn't covered, but I'm just going to go ahead and bite the bullet and deal with that. For the most part, that's about the only thing that I have an issue with with respect to my HVAC claim and everything's been fairly good with how it's being handled. The contractor that AHS assigned to service my HVAC has been doing an excellent job, too.
It isn't completely fixed yet because there's been a backorder on parts and all kind of nonsense due to the pandemic. It's been over a month that I've been without AC and I'm burning up. I've purchased two big power fans and I was about to purchase window units.

I called American Home Shield. I was on hold for a while. And they said, “We are going to schedule a service.” And she said she's going to schedule it within 24 to 48 hours.

And she scheduled something the next day. Why do I need to call two times? They know the problem. Just get it done. What the hell are they charging the money for? And they did eventually send the guy with all the problems. He took care of it. AHS is just inefficient.
I like the fact that they knew this guy was able to come in and fix the problem for me. So they are connected with the people locally. But can I just find it online by searching on Google or Yelp? And just do it. What is the value AHS is adding? The value I really want from them is, I make a phone call, and my problem gets solved.

We've had American Home Shield since 2006 and we've never had any problems with the services that we've received from them and the people that had come out to give us assistance with the dishwasher. One time, our garbage disposal went kaput. They called a guy, and he was wonderful. He came out 10 o'clock at night and fixed our garbage disposal. I liked him. That's good when you could get a service that's anytime after 5 o'clock.
There were only two times that we've had disappointing services through American Home Shield. My water heater was leaking and the plumber found out that it was some pipes. We had called to set up an appointment for them to come out. They were supposed to let us know when they were coming back with the pipes to replace the ones that were damaged. They informed us that our water heater was not damaged but that it was failing. It took a week for them to get back to us. Finally, we called American Home Shield and let them know that we were leaving messages, and they were not returning it. We had to turn our hot water off because of it and we'd like to have our water.
I started doing the laundry, and my husband looked down and he saw that the water heater was leaking again. Not only at the top, but also the bottom. Apparently, the heat from the water heater busted out the bottom of it, so it flooded our floor. We called to set an appointment again with American Home Shield, but there was no response. We have our bottom floor flooding from the water heater. We have a Shop-Vac, and we were trying to turn the water off. The way that they fixed the pipe, when my husband tried to turn the water off, it didn't go the normal way, so it got worse. He finally figured it out and thought he had got it where it wasn't leaking. We had an appointment, so we went out to our appointment and when we came back home, it was flooded.
Again, we called to see if we could get some assistance. But there was no response. By 10 o'clock at night, we didn't have any help so we decided to get another emergency plumber to come in and give us some assistance. They sent a man out and he came on. He said he didn't want to touch anything because of the damage to the work that was done. He thought that it was best for us to set up an insurance claim. He wasn't sure what was the cause of the water heater, but he turned the water off. Here we go with no water again.

I have three home warranties and one is for a house in Mississippi where my mom lives. The ice maker wasn’t working so we had Home Shield send someone out. The guy said he ordered a part and that was December. They then said something about offering a cash credit but I don’t really know what it was. We really just wanted to have the ice maker fixed. It’s just been a runaround. My husband was the one who was dealing with Home Shield the most. He finally gave up and told me to deal with it. My husband felt like he was in a circle where they kept saying they were gonna give the cash payout. But he told them, "I don’t know how that’s gonna help me.” He seemed frustrated.
The problem with the cash payment is that if the part is nowhere to be found then what’s that gonna do for me? My ice maker is still not gonna work. I liked Home Shield at first. But now, the jury is out a little bit because of the lack of customer service on this issue. Home Shield should replace the refrigerator because that’s really why I bought the home warranty. If something doesn’t work and you can’t get the part, a cash payment is not gonna help me any.

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.

And I don't understand why they didn't approve him to put the Freon on that same call. I had to put another call in. So, the Freon cost me 150 bucks. I had to pay another $75. I don't understand that.
If I call AHS for problem A, we need to fix problem A all the way through. I don't care how much it costs the home warranty. AHS takes the money out of my checking account every month. There's no ifs, buts, or whens. They get paid. But they can’t follow up and just do a job all the way through. I don't understand why it had to cost me 150 bucks when I could have hired my own HVAC guy. It probably would have cost me less than 150 bucks. And to top it off, the contractor that came told my husband the Freon was so little amount that I needed that he wasn't gonna charge me for it.
And the contractor never called me. The contractor was nice when he came to the house, but I had to call him and tell him he has to come out. That is an extra step that doesn't need to be done. That's where I'm very frustrated with American Shield. I call them about my washer, my dishwasher. I don't care what the problem is. That's why I have them. If they can't fix it from A to Z, then why am I carrying them? Why am I paying them every month? When I move, I'm canceling with American Home Shield and going with another company. I feel like I'm getting screwed over.

I've had AHS for 10 years now and so far, it's been excellent. The only problem I had one time, they denied a claim on my swimming pool heater. They had first had it fixed, but then they came out and said that mice ate the wires. So, with the second time, they denied it. I was a little bit disappointed in that because I specifically got AHS to cover all the pool equipment amongst other things. But for appliances, oven and toilets and other plumbing issues, they've always been great. I've been really satisfied with them.

The first time I called was because I heard something underneath the house, and it was a leak. It was a waiting list on the phone, but they called back right away. American Home Shield sent out a plumber the next day. And I had to pay for the parts and service. I was new to AHS. The second time, the contractor came out just to check the air condition. I called Thursday, he came Monday. And that was fine with me. The unit was working fine. It’s just that the water was leaking. There was a PVC pipe that had cracks on the side of the unit. It was working okay. And the technician said he didn’t know why that was there, but I didn’t need it because it was a gas unit.
I asked how much it would cost me and if I had to come out of pocket with it. I didn't have to pay for him to come out. He cut off a piece of it, and told me not to worry about it. So, I was happy about that. I’m satisfied with the service, except now that I know that I shouldn’t pay whoever comes out. They have to go through AHS.

American Home Shield is a pain. We get things resolved, but it's a very long process. Whenever we raise an issue, the contractor comes after that. If there is a further follow-up on the issue, the contractor won't submit the claim to American Home Shield. We have to call them and we are on the phone for a long time. They say that they will check back with the contractor. They call the contractor, put us on hold, then we never hear back from them. The same thing happened with the latest issue that we have. They said the contractor would call us, but the contractor never called. The issue is still not fully resolved. Their customer service department is not up to the mark. They're not proactive at all. We have to call them, and they say, "We have not received the feedback." Then they put us on hold and call the contractor. Instead of that, they need to follow up on the request and call us back. The wait times are long too.

The tech never came on Saturday or Friday. I've been calling them for three days to fix the air conditioner and they won’t call me back. The reps in the call center dropped the ball. They were really great the first time but I'm really pissed at them right now. Other than that, everybody that AHS has sent has been great. We're adding our pool to our policy when it comes up.

The dryer was making a kind of grinding noise, like the gears were grinding every time it was turning on.

Anytime I've ever had an issue, American Home Shield responded quickly. They get somebody out here, but in a good, reasonable amount of time. I never had an issue with them and it's low cost. Their contractors are good. They're all local and I've never had a problem with any of them. They are very professional and timely. They get the job done. American Home Shield is super simple to use and it all done online. You make the claim online and then they have somebody call you. They don't call you that day but they call you the next day.

If it’s things like refrigerator or washer, smaller items, the warranty is fine. But when it comes to the AC, I had a horrible time. And I ended up having to out of pocket a great deal of expenses, because it's so time-consuming to get what needed to happen. And the people that was sent out here said that they had to come out here twice. And it was the same kid that didn't know what he was doing. I had to fork out four grand. And I almost could have had a brand-new AC unit after it was all said and done. It was a nightmare. I was out of AC for almost three weeks. I live in Orlando, and it's super hot. So, I was obviously stressed out.
The contractor told me that American Home Shield would not cover what they deemed was the copper pipe that was between the inside handler and the outside handler that had a leak. So, I called another company that originally put in the AC unit. The AC unit is only a 2019 so it's under warranty. I got the other company to come out because I'm not getting anywhere with AHS. Because the guy told me AHS wouldn't cover that. So, I called the AC people that put it in, and they came out, determined the same thing. They told me that they couldn't identify any crawlspace. And they told me that they would walk away from the job. So, I'm sitting here with no AC and scratching my head, going, “What the hell am I gonna do?”
I called a contractor that did some work at my house, and I also called another friend of mine who recommended this other company, both of whom came out and told me, “Yes, you do have crawlspace.” And they proceeded to cut a hole in the garage so they could access this crawlspace and that they could bring it in through that crawlspace, into the garage and straight to the inside handler from the outside. And they both quoted me $2,800 to do this job. When it was all said and done, my contractor guy had somebody and it was three grand. The same thing started happening again after he did all that work. Came back again and said that it was the coil. I told him, “I've got a guarantee on these parts.” He got the part and told me, “This normally cost $2,000, but I'll do it for $1,500.” It was unbelievable. And it started to leak again. So, every time that leaked out that coolant, it's $80 per pound.
I had already paid the $100 for the service for the guys to come out and $270 for per pound that the guy filled up. And all of that came right out anyway. I filled that damn thing up. All in, I paid $4,500 to get my AC fixed, which was only a 2019 AC. That was painful. But as far as other things, AHS has been good. I've just had things going on one after another.
I had the AC and the stove burner, which wasn't working correctly. They fixed that, which was great. And they came out today because my pool pump wasn't working. And the guy replaced the motor on that. In those circumstances, it saved me money because I only had to pay the $100. And they ended up having to replace the motor. That guy that worked for that pool company was good. But I'm stuck with whoever AHS sends me. It's just when you're limited to utilizing certain contractors, and it was summer so I get it. I have some sympathy when it comes to that, but it was a nightmare.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A new OEM-certified repair company had to come out. This is a dishwasher. I don't know how complicated they are but it just took a very long time for them to resolve the issue, which didn't seem to be too difficult. It took them two weeks to order a part and get it installed. It was a simple fuse and a harness. In all, it took about 10 weeks for the right repair to happen. The second contractor who came out, Speedy Heating and Air, was speedy though and they figured out the issue.
Also, I liked the claims submission process better online. But I did have to call and state that the repair wasn't completed and I wanted to get it reopened. It seemed like I was talking to somebody from another country because the conversation that should have taken about 10 minutes took over an hour and a half. Now, they're hounding me for payment on my second claim. I don't know why they don't have it because everything is already hooked up to their online service.
But my major thing is the time. If my furnace or my air conditioner was out and I had to schedule an appointment, it would take them 10 days to come out. We had a furnace that was leaking water and the drip from the condensation wasn't going into the hole, which goes into our sump. It was leaking into our bottom pan and we had a repair facility come out for that about two weeks ago. I went down to check it and it's still doing the same thing.

He would do a work order to let American Home Shield know that an electrician had to come out to put in a new box on the outside. We waited about a week and we didn't hear anything. We called American Home Shield back and they said that our order was completed. We told them what the technician did and said he would do. We had to pay another $75 to get an electrician to come out and put in a new box.
American Home Shield doesn't have anything to do with the contractors. You could not talk with anyone at the company that they use. You had to either leave a text or a voice mail. On one occasion, we called American Home Shield to ask if the contractor was coming. They came back and said, “They’re coming today between 9:00 and 12:00.” The next thing we know, “We're on our way." But we never got the next one. "We’re here.”
Overall, American Home Shield doesn't listen. They over-talk you and they go straight and do what they want to do. You get in touch with somebody and it's just a rude conversation.

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.

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.

I normally have had good experience with American Home Shield. There's been once or twice that some of the providers that they've sent out were less than what I expected. Most of the providers are good. I had one company years ago, and I felt skeptical about the guy that came out. I ended up having a little kid toy out in the yard missing. He was asking about it ‘cause I had it for sale.
I had a Maytag Neptune washer, but American Home Shield didn't replace like kinds. That's what I had a problem with. I've had to do that on a few appliances where they did not give me the same quality of appliance that I had. The same thing happened years ago with an air conditioner unit. I wanted the same kind that I had, and I had to pay to get an upgrade to match the one that I had. I would have expected for them to replace it with one of equal value and quality, but they don't always do that. Flash Garage Door came out recently for the mechanism that pulls the garage door up. The repairman did his job well. Having American Home Shield is a plus but they doubled in price. It used to be around 49.50 a month, and it's gone up to 84 a month.

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!

The wheels on the top rack of the dishwasher had broken off and the tech diagnosed it during an online call where I was showing him the video of the problem. So, he was able to bring the right part and put it when he showed up five days later. It went great. American Home Shield is expensive but it gives me peace of mind as much as anything else.

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.

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.

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.

They were so swamped. In using AHS, I realized that it's really good to have because had I not had the insurance from them, I would have to come out of my pocket almost $1,700 for the part they fixed.

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.

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.

I wasn't too happy about that and I never got anything from anybody telling me I gotta have the maintenance done by this date or else they're not gonna do it.

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.

We were getting a heatwave and we turned the air on. It was not even on for two days and it just quit working. Then it shorted itself out and would kick the breaker. At that point, I called American Home Shield. The tech who came was short with me and made it seem like he didn’t want to do the work. He even verbally said that he didn’t do compressors anymore. He was too old for that. He said that AHS will call me and take care of it. And he left. That was the last I heard from him.
I called AHS and told them that the guy didn’t even make an effort to check out what was going on. 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.

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.

I had regular service for my AC through American Home Shield. I had the spring service prior to that, and they had mentioned that something in the condenser would fail but they couldn't do anything about it because that would have to be a separate call. The guy said, “Well, I could replace it. But that's another call.” I called again to have someone come and check it. Then I was told, “Well, it's fine. We can't really do anything unless it fails.”
American Home Shield's website is user-friendly. It's like three steps, and you can make a claim. I receive an email telling me who is coming, and who is assigned to the ticket. Then, I receive a text. Then the day of, I get a phone call with approximate arrival. They already indicate that in the text, but then they still confirm. So, I get an email, text, and call. The service companies are very professional and on time. AHS is pretty good. They have come in handy. I had replaced something with my air conditioning, and the company was great.

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.

Horrible Customer Service! Complete scam! Don't waste your time and money. They should have a ZERO STAR RATING. I have opened my 5th service ticket with regards to my A/C. 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 would STRONGLY recommend to AVOID this company they are more concerned with their marketing reviews, sales, and renewals than taking care of their customers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So far, we've had good experiences with AHS, except for things where one person tries to pass it on to another visit. But not for American Home Shield.

I had an air conditioning issue and the techs that came corrected that even though at first, they said it was a little tricky. I recently had a stopped-up shower and then a dishwasher that had an issue. Techs fixed those a couple of weeks ago and I'm very happy about that. I couldn't deal with the stopped shower and then the dishwasher. So far, so good and I'm happy with the coverage. I learned late that you can change certain things so it gets multiple issues. That's good.

American Home Shield sent out a technician two or three times to fix the same problem of our refrigerator. After the third time, they were just supposed to replace the whole unit. I called them five days after the cut off window. You’re supposed to call within 60 days. They said they were gonna have to reopen a whole new claim and have the techs fix the refrigerator. But it was the same problem. The compressor on the refrigerator went out three times. The same person installed a new one three times. American Home Shield just need to replace it. But they said they could not do that. After that one experience with the refrigerator, I'm still a little irritated with American Home Shield but technicality speaking, it was partially my fault and they were correct. But there should be a grace period there. They could have done a little better on their customer service side of things too.
We ended up canceling our subscription with them. But then we decided that we wanted to get them back because we liked having the home warranty. Since we signed back up, the claims have been well. We ended up needing to use it for our air conditioning unit. Techs are supposed to come back out and do something else on it because now the blower motor went out and it's low on Freon.

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.

There was an issue with our AC and it turned out to be the component with the furnace. It didn't get fixed because American Home Shield was saying that they don't cover it. All they said they could do was send another tech out to reevaluate. Now, we're waiting for another tech to come out and reevaluate it. But they were quick to get somebody to respond to me. The company didn't get out here quick, but they got somebody to contact me that day. I would still recommend AHS to a friend.

The technicians that come out in a timely manner no matter what I need did a good job. Recently, the air conditioner was blowing hot air. I called American Home Shield on a Friday. The contractor didn't come until Wednesday. But the tech said he changed the core. I like the service that AHS provides. All of the coverage. Everything they cover in my house. And when I do it online, I like the rate that they charge me. No matter what's going on, the rate is good.

I had a small issue with American Home Shield at one time. I had a claim done but the part wasn’t being made anymore. So, they quickly corrected the issue and was able to replace it. And they have had gotten stuff fixed also. Intertech Maintenance, the contractor for the dryer, was good. 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. I have all my appliances and electronics covered and AHS came through every time I had an issue, which was one of the things why I consistently stayed with them.

Our AC stopped working. So, we put in a claim to American Home Shield. Sub Zero came out and replaced a part. Then they found another part that needed to be replaced, but it was not something they carried on the truck. So, they had to order it. We had to wait for the part to come in for them to complete the service. After the part came in, they completed the service, and then it started working again. They were good. They explained and showed me the parts that they were replacing and taking. They worked with me on my schedule on when to come to the house and called when they were on their way.

American Home Shield has always been great. I love it. My bathroom faucet was leaking out the top. Then, my garbage disposal and my two toilets, which I all had checked over a year ago, weren't flushing right. The contractor replaced the two toilets as well as the water heater which was dripping out of the faucet. We bought an older house and the water heater was 27 years old. Water heaters don't last but five to 10 years so, it was just a matter of time. Everything in the house was a fixer upper so a lot of this stuff is going to end up failing and one by one, it does. So, AHS has been great as far as having it knowing that it's just given time that these things are gonna fall apart.

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.
