    I’ve put in an order for somebody to come out and look at my refrigerator. It stopped keeping stuff cool. So the guy came out, looked at it, and said, “Yes, it needs this part.” Then he had to submit an approval to American Home Shield on whether they were gonna pay for the part or replace the refrigerator. A week went by and I didn’t hear anything. Then, all of a sudden, I got an email showing the work order was closed out. So I called back American Home Shield and informed them that my refrigerator hadn’t been fixed. They said, “Okay, we’re gonna get the guy to come back out and whatnot.”

    American Home Shield contacted the same company. But the guy did not come back out. He said there was no need for him to come back out because he knew the part that was needed, and they were waiting on American Home Shield to approve it. So I still haven’t gotten my refrigerator fixed and this has been going on since the end of March. But outside of this issue with my refrigerator, I've been happy with the service. The tech that came out for the electrical issue was fine. He was super early and then he fixed it.

    We're pleased with AHS. Our air conditioner compressor needed some coolant or Freon. It appeared that it had a slight or a very slow leak. The guy repaired the leak and recharged it with the Freon. The tech was a good guy. He explained everything going on, went through and made sure that the system was working, checked the temperature coming out of the registers, where the vents and the cold air came out. He was here for 45 minutes to an hour.

    I'm not real happy with some of the people American Home Shield sends out, and I sent back my comments the last time. I had an over-range fan and I had to pay my $100, but they didn't even come out. They talked to me and took some pictures over the phone then when I was getting a replacement, I had to give American all the information. That company didn't give it to them. The people who put in my stove were fine though. Initially, American Home Shield sent out someone to supposedly install it, and the person who came could not install it. They could just deliver it, so then AHS had to send someone else out. In the end, my whole stove thing turned out well.

    American Home Shield has been fine, but when there is a true problem, they need to be faster. A couple years ago, our air conditioner went out in July and it took days to weeks to get it fixed. They should have put us up high on the priority list. They told me that the reason it wasn’t high was because we didn't have an over 100-degree weather for several days. It was dumb. We were without an air conditioner for quite a while and I didn't appreciate that. The range fan was no big deal. I could wait for a long time for that and even for my stove, but my air conditioner was an important thing to get fixed. They said they will reimburse us for a fan, but we had fans and we also bought one of those portable air conditioners.

    I didn't like the thing about the air conditioner, because I wanted it serviced and nobody from American Home Shield said that it was a certain time of the year that we were supposed to get our ac serviced. I never got notice about that. I had to pay $100 for somebody to just come out here and blow my things out, which could have happened during the service through the year. I could have saved $100. I felt like that was a waste of money. Other than that, it was good. All the technicians came out, did what they had to, iand were respectful and nice people. For the plumbing, the contractor came in and put it in so fast. The tech said, “Do you want me to look at anything else?” He did a quick little look at other stuff and gave me a card. They were, “We’ll just look over some stuff for you and make sure everything else is good because we were in and out so fast,” and that was it.

    The contractor was great. It took him 20 minutes to change out my air conditioner fan and that was it. But American Home Shield tried to tell me that it wasn't a major issue. They saw online what the temperature was. But the local temperature was over 100 degrees. And they didn't want to expedite it at first. I tried to threaten them. But they still didn't expedite it. It took a day or two. I had to stay over the weekend.

    The AC unit was not cooling and it got up to 85 degrees in this house. The gentleman came and checked. We already cleaned coils and washed around it, but he redid all of that. He checked the pressure and brought it down, and everything was good and it was cooling again. Two days later, the unit froze up. So, I called American Home Shield and they sent him back out. We were almost two pounds low on Freon, which I paid him to put in, and we've been working good ever since.

    The user-friendliness of the American Home Shield website is okay but it does not allow me to tell AHS what's going on. It only gives me choices that may or may not be what's happening. They just want to know it's an AC but I don't get to tell them what's wrong with it. They should improve on being able to make a comment about what's going on. When they transfer that information to the technician, if the technician sees it before they come out, they have a better chance of knowing what's going on. Sometimes they call and tell me that I've got an appointment for a technician but I don't get to talk to him till he gets here. So, when he gets here, he doesn't have any idea what's going on and just knows that we got AC problems.

    Whenever I go to the AHS website, I know what I'm looking for. I know what I'd like to find and be able to do. And if you can't do it, that's frustrating. Then, when you have to wait till the technician gets here and he comes in and needs something else, it's because there was no information for him to work with. So now, it's costing this technician and this company, as well as AHS.

    We've used it a few times. I have been fairly happy with the results, with the exception of the brand-new dishwasher. Our dishwasher died and the technician said we were gonna have to replace it. He told us to pick from two dishwashers and we picked the Amana because it was supposed to be a good one. I'm still trying to get the technicians out under warranty to look at it because it does not wash and we still have food particles on the dishes. They are totally wet and they got spots all over them. Also, it does not dry because the heating element in there is not strong enough to dry the dishes. It's one of the cheapest Amanas on the market. I looked up their specs and found out they took a 2,800-watt heating element and put a 750-watt heating element in its place so they can claim that it is energy efficient.

    The Amana is the worst dishwasher I've ever owned. We have to take the dishes out and wash them by hand and dry them and put them up, which totally defeats the purpose of having a dishwasher. The technician was supposed to have been here last week and the first of this week, and there's never been a technician caller come out. I contacted AHS when it first happened and they said that because it was under warranty, I had to contact the manufacturer. So, I contacted Amana. They said they would send a technician out. That was the last we heard. I put in another complaint to them today on the internet because that's the only way you can do it.

    I called American Home Shield. We were without air for six days. When I called the contractor to claim on that Thursday, nobody answered the phone. So, I ended up in billing. The lady tried to help. She gave me a number to call the air conditioner place. I did. But they never answered the phone. I called back and finally, somebody answered and they put in the claim ticket.

    I told them it was an emergency but somebody said there are no emergencies in Texas. Everybody is an emergency. I said, "Ma'am, we have serious health problems in this house. I have a pacemaker, high blood pressure, and lupus. We need air." So, they gave me the ticket number, and said somebody would call me. But I didn't get a call. Towards the end of the day, I tried to call the number but nobody answered. So finally, on Sunday, I got a call from Affordable Sunday afternoon saying that they would be out on Tuesday. So, I tried to text them to reach them back and the recorder came on. I left them a message and told them how serious this was.

    On Monday, I spoke to someone at AHS who said, "Well, if you have to call another company, you can call another company, and we will just pay for it." I said, "No other companies are answering. I have talked to five different companies and they said they're backed up." It was just too much medical equipment to try to pack up and find a hotel room to stay in for those days.

    Tuesday, the gentleman from Affordable Air got here. And when he walked in, he took care of the problem quickly and did an excellent job. He checked the thermostat. And when he opened up the air conditioner, he discovered that it was a part in there that had stopped connecting or it went bad, and he went right away and got the air going right away. He was very professional. He solved the condition of my son and I's health.

    That was the only great satisfaction and relief I had. But it should not take six days. And I had to end up spending 500 and some dollars for the fan. I have the receipt. I had to go and purchase them from Home Depot because nobody else had anything else. And just by the grace of God, we survived, and nothing happened to us with the heat. I can understand if I called them today, they couldn't come tomorrow. They couldn't today, but they would come tomorrow at some time later in the evening or not later than the second day. But it was six days. And by the time AHS issued the ticket, I had called the day before that and spoke with billing with a lady.

    I had to pay $100 for you to come out, and I got the receipt. I feel that I should be reimbursed. I may as well not have AHS and just go through the phone book or the internet and say, "Are you available?" I would expect it if I had just been calling any old company. But if AHS would send me somebody, they should have said, "We already know there are some medical problems in that house." If somebody tells them that upfront before they need emergency help, they can look at their file and say, "Yes, there are some medical conditions in their house. Can you get to them no later than 24 hours, 48 hours being the longest?" I'm sure AHS is working with more than one company.

    American Home Shield seems good and I like them. When my refrigerator was not cooling properly, I gave them a call and things went really smoothly. The rep asked if we could FaceTime so she could look at the refrigerator. She took a couple of pictures then she got a guy out here. The technician was really good and very thorough. I came to find out there was some ice buildup in the back where I couldn't see. That was stopping the fan motor from working.

    The freezer is working fine now. The only thing is when the technician finished, I thought that my lights were gonna come back on in the refrigerator but they didn't. He said that if I wanted that done, that will have to be a separate claim. He said the process used to be really simple. He would tell American Hoem Shield that the light bulb was missing or the light was not acting right then ask if he could just do it. Now, it's not like that. You have to call in a whole other claim for that. But I didn't know that the light wasn't gonna work. It was working then it wasn't. That aside, having a home warranty certainly takes the pressure off of you having to come up with the money for a whole fan motor surprise amount. I like that. My experience with American Home Shield was great. They have fast and friendly service.

    Largely, I like American Home Shield but right now, I am on a wait for AC repair because American Home Shield only introduced me to one company, and then that company is too busy. So far, for 10 days, they have not been able to come and I still don't know when they can come. It's a long wait and if I didn't have American Home Shield, I could have called different vendors. If one vendor cannot serve us quickly, then American Home Shield should be able to give us other options.

    It was the same issue with the microwave repair. This company came to check the microwave very quickly. Then that person told me it's a bit difficult to repair, so most probably it needs to be exchanged, but some parts were delivered from American Home Shield, which I was not informed about. So, there was an unknown type of boxes delivered. It’s very heavy. Later on, I got the notice from American Home Shield that it was okay, so it was a legitimate delivery. Still, I don't know when this company can come to repair the microwave. I am waiting on hold. I left a message because I'd like to find out when they are coming.

    Also, someone called from American Home Shield saying that I just signed up for one policy and that like a second year policy cost, the annual fee will go up. So, if I sign up for the second year, American Home Shield will keep the same amount for the next year. Then he would take the order but they will only charge for the last three months before the current policy expires. So I said, “In that case, that's okay.” The system started to inform me that I am late in payment for the policy even though I'm fully paid for the current policy, which expires sometime in March next year, but because of this order I made, I was marked delinquent, and I got stuck. I had to call for many hours to remove this. So, that was bad.

    I had called American Home Shield and they sent a technician out to fix my dishwasher. He said there was nothing wrong with the unit and I had to put some Jet Dry. I've been putting the Jet Dry but my dishwasher still doesn't get the dishes clean. Every time I open the bottom of the dishwasher piece, it’s out. It’s with my dishes. I have to call back again.

    If a client is going through a situation and they're paying the $75 for the service fee and the system is still acting up, American Home Shield needs to do something different about it. I've been going through this issue with the dishwasher for a minute now. Other than that, their service is wonderful and I appreciate that. Techs came out and fixed my AC and that's working fine.

    I had a breaker and it kept flipping on the air conditioning. AHS sent a guy out. He said that it was missing the antifreeze locks. He never addressed my issue about the breaker box tripping and why the air conditioner was not working. He just told me I was missing part. So, that was what he went back and reported. Then American Home Shield sent out an electrician. The electrician said it didn't have anything to do on his end. It was definitely the air conditioner. AHS sent out another guy from another company, from the company before to replace the cooling locks, still not addressing my issue.

    They escalated it and recalled the guy out to assist it on July 2nd. He found that it was a condemned compressor. They still dropped the ball and nobody was doing anything. The air conditioning company said that they sent it to American Home Shield. American Home Shield said that they hadn't received the report. Finally, I got one representative that sent out another recall. They came out yesterday and said the same thing the guy on July 2nd said, that it's a condemned compressor.

    I'm still without air for three weeks now. They were saying it’s supposed to go to the authorization department. But I have yet to have any resolution on this. I explained I have an elderly mother in the house and that we can die from a heat stroke. That didn't seem to make any difference. It seemed as though the representatives that I get don't read their notes. They go back to old notes. They never seem to be on the same sheet of music. But I've had previous repairs in the home and it was satisfactory.

    A&R Complete Services suck. They came for the air conditioner that was just blowing hot air. It’s 115 degrees in Las Vegas. The repairman checked the thermostat then he said he was gonna go on the roof. He was there for 10 minutes and the air started blowing cool. He gave us the receipt and said he replaced the wire on the condenser pan. Not even 10 minutes after he left, the unit went back to blowing hot air. We tried to call them the same day. American Home Shield tried to contact them and we kept telling them that they were not answering the phone. American Home Shield would tell us the same **, that they were not answering the phone and they'd send them back out. We didn't want them back out. Finally, they sent a different contractor. That was not the first time it happened because for our plumbing claim, it was the same thing. American Home Shield gets cheap contractors.

    Our air conditioner went down on July 4th. It was a frozen pipe. But when we went to try and get it to kick back in after the pipe had thawed, the motor wouldn't run. So, I filed a request for service. 20 hours later, American Home Shield assigned the service company, Air Conditioning & Heating Wizards, but the tech couldn't come until today, July 11th. It was 95 degrees outside and 86 degrees inside. We waited and he said he would check and see if he got any cancellations. Didn't happen. So, on the 7th, I called back and AHS would reassign it to another company, but they needed to catch him in order to get him to release the project to some other company. He didn't do that. I called back and told them to cancel the service call and give me my $100 back. I will get somebody.

    I had a private contractor come and repair it because I couldn't wait until Monday for AHS' assigned contractor to come and do it. And they couldn't find anybody else that could come and do it. I couldn't sit in the house with 86 degrees and not being able to sleep at night. American Home Shield didn't get it fixed. But I'm getting my $100 request fee back. The last time, it was also our AC that was freezing up and Air Conditioning Wizards came out. The tech checked everything out and it turned out our air filter was part of the problem. He said, "Well, the line is a little clogged. We'll clean that out," and that was it. It worked fine for a month, and the motor went.

    My microwave wasn't heating and the techs said it needed to be replaced. I chose the option to purchase a new microwave myself and get reimbursed the authorized amount of 300 and some dollars. It shows the service request is complete but it's not complete until I get my reimbursement check. They said it could take up to 21 days. That claim wasn't too bad.

    I did another claim with American Home Shield for a complete stoppage of my mainline sewer drain and that turned into an absolute nightmare. I called up Friday and requested service. It was Tuesday before the chosen vendor, Morgan Plumbing, contacted me. They scheduled an appointment for Wednesday. But no one called and no one showed up for that appointment. I tried Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday to get in touch with Morgan Plumbing with no return phone call. I left several voicemails. I called American Home Shield and I requested a different vendor because Morgan wouldn't return my phone calls for two days. It was Friday afternoon when I got a phone call from Morgan Plumbing that a plumber was 30 minutes from my house. I was at work. I didn't go to work Wednesday and Thursday trying to get the issue resolved.

    He showed up and said there was nothing he could do. I told him I already ran a snake down the drain. He said, "If you ran a snake, the blockage is probably going into the septic tank. So, the septic tank's gonna have to be dug up and see if the blockage is there." He left. He did not send a diagnosis back to American Home Shield until Tuesday. We had a holiday weekend, July 4th. I had no plumbing over a week. On Tuesday, I sent American Home Shield a chat message trying to get somebody else to come out here or get Morgan Plumbing to send their diagnosis report in so we could get something going. I got the runaround several times with the people I spoke with. They gave me no answers other than they were waiting on the vendor.

    I called and got ahold of my own septic company to come out. They dug up the tank and found that the blockage was in the pipe going from the house to the septic tank. They cleared the blockage, I paid $620 out of pocket, and my problem was fixed in one day. Prior to that, I went without functioning plumbing in my house for over a week. I also had a leak because it was backing up now that there was a leak in my basement. If I waited on American Home Shield, I probably would still have not had any plumbing. I paid for a home warranty to have peace of mind. I don't have much that right now. We are a family of five and we had no no functioning laundry, toilets, sink, dishwasher, and showers for over a week and a half.

    We had two instances where my fridge went out, and then a breaker went out. The first guy came and he fixed everything. Everything was good with him. He ended up following me on Facebook. I made a post on Facebook that I'm now tested negative for COVID and I was going out and flying. He left a negative comment on my post and he was like, "Thanks for letting me know you had COVID." I was like, "Well, first off, I tested negative three days straight before you even came. We had our home professionally disinfected. It's not my job to even have to tell you. If I still had it, I got it. But we went through everything to make sure everyone was good." So, that was kind of a little off-putting. I was on a completely different wing of the house and we took all precautions. Still, other than that, he was really nice and did the job quickly.

    Today, we finally had the refrigerator guy come. The only issue is the refrigerator needs some sort of board. So, it's gonna be another 3 to 10 business days. Now, we're looking at close to a month since we've had a refrigerator. Overall, I'm happy with American Home Shield but I feel like the warranty is kind of geared more towards older decrepit type stuff. My only concern is that the AC was only covered for $3,000. With the home that we just sold, it cost me $18,000 to replace the AC. So, God forbid an AC goes out. If there is another level where you pay a little bit more and you can get some more reimbursement, that would be awesome.

    The turnaround time is horrendous. The compressor on my AC unit went out and AHS sent an AC guy to troubleshoot it. The tech sent it back to them but I didn't know that they had to order the parts. I would think they would have the parts stocks right now. I'm just waiting here with no AC. I called again yesterday and all they kept telling me is that they've ordered the parts and they don’t know where the parts are at. I understand some things they get to order but when you're dealing with like hot or cold temperatures that might affect little ones in the house, those shouldn't be like, “We got to order the parts.” It should be, “Okay. You can go ahead and replace the part and we'll reimburse the AC company.” As far as customer service, that aspect is not too good. AHS is making it hard for me to stay.

    The refrigerator is still not fixed. It's been going on since April and the problem is with A & E Service. They're charging approximately $300 for every visit out here. They're going to have four visits now since April. They are manufacturing trips. Initially, the guy said I needed a compressor. But now they get around to saying that they've ordered a compressor and were waiting for July the 5th before they come out and install the compressor. When I called American Home Shield, the lady that I talked to was very nice. She called A&E to see if they could schedule an appointment sooner, and the answer was no and that they were booked up solid. If there were a cancellation, they would contact us.

    A&E told me that they were ordering two parts. But we only received one part. We talked to American Home Shield and then they called A&E. They said, “Oh, we didn't order the other part.” But I've got a record showing that they said they were going to order the other part. When that other part came in, they installed it but that still didn't fix the refrigerator.

    American Home Shield really needs to look at this company, what they are charging American Home Shield, and the number of times a person is being visited by these people. A&E is using American Home Shield's service as potential income for themselves. But the guys that come out are very pleasant. This is not a situation for American Home Shield. They upheld their end of the contract. Their ladies have been very kind when I talked to them. My problem was with A&E. I received the part and I called and tried to get an appointment scheduled sooner. But they said that they were booked solid. So I would just have to wait till July 5th and that doesn't sound right.

I placed a service request for the last one on a Friday. I had to do two follow up phone calls. American Home Shield gave me the company name that was going to contact me to set up the service, but they did not get back to me. I did find their number and phoned them and left a message on a Tuesday and on a Thursday the following week. But I did not hear back from them. Then I had to have to finally phone American Home Shield and ask them to follow up. That took almost a week and left two phone calls to the supplier and one back to American Home Shield. The guy in America Home Shield got on the phone and actually got the contractor online. We set up the date right there. But it took me doing that to get a call back.

    On both repairs, I had no update on the service they went out and fixed something. After the second repair, I called the contractor back to ask him what they did, what happened, and if it was going to be an ongoing problem, or do I have a bigger problem. His comment was, “I'll find out the technicians notes and get back to you.” But nobody responded to me from the contractor still. So that's now over two weeks ago.

    American Home Shield was my first coverage when I bought the home but I had to let it go due to finances. Then I got it back again when I got my taxes this year and it's been very good. I had an issue with my air conditioning and also with my faucet and my tub. With the air conditioning unit, there was some kind of switch thing into the house that the contractor had to readjust. Then the tub turned out to be a little bit more major. They had to redo the faucets. They were all taken care of. I did my claims online and the website was very easy to use. It tells me online who the contractor is gonna be and if I need to call them or if they're going to call me. American Home Shield saves a lot of money in a dire situation.

    I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times... "If I could give it 0 stars, I would." Well, let me just say for me, this has never been more true. As I sit here with contract in hand, I have had the contractor come twice and tell me a part needs to be replaced, but AHS won't let them replace it because it is not completely broken and hasn't caused a mechanical failure YET. The crazy thing is, the malfunctioning garage door is what caused further damage to the unit. Instead of AHS backing up their contract and providing customer service, they decided that it was in their best interest to only piece the system back together so that they can get me to spend more money after the 30 day window for them to come back after the part completely breaks. It's not good enough that the part is severely damaged, they want it to break. That's just like telling a patient not to go to the doctor until their body has completely failed. All I can tell you is to run from AHS!

    We always had an issue with the pool because where we live, nobody wanted to work on pools. When we had an issue, those pool contractors wanted additional money. The last time, American Shield was able to find a contractor, Practical Pools, that was willing to come without requiring more money from us to come. They were pretty good too. They responded and within a week or so, they showed up. We requested them twice. One time they came in and said the claim was not covered. The second time, they came in and fixed the filter.

    Three years ago, we dealt with an AC and that was different. It was a nightmare to deal with just getting somebody here who was adequate. Many of the contractors would come in here and indicate that they're not making much money from American Shield and would be looking for extras for us to pay. There was one particular instance where I ended up bringing somebody outside of the whole insurance company for the AC and I paid them directly. The total cost was less than the extras that the guy coming through American Shield wanted on the AC.

    There has been an improvement in the way that those contractors responded to the last claim. Maybe American Home Shield is giving them feedback and they're receiving those feedback. With American Home Shield, it's a matter of comfort level and the luck of the draw. Depending on what is required, it may be an issue. With the ACs we had in the past, you're going to end up spending hours and hours on the phone to convince somebody to come do the work. When they come in, they gonna try and look for anything that they could be asking extras for, like the ducting. They would want $400 just to reposition the ducting so they can get to the AC. They're looking for ways to actually make it worthwhile.

    If I have a future issue with an AC and it goes smoothly, it would be great. But it depends on who's coming and it depends on their relationship with American Shield. If they're reluctant and they feel like they're not making enough money, they're going to try and make it hard for you to just pay the deductible. They'll find ways to bleed more out of you.

    I had American Home Shield 15 years ago in my first home, and I was happy with the service and with the fact that whatever they started, they finished it well. I got a home warranty this year and decided to go to them. When you buy a home, you don't really know what you're getting. The home inspection sometimes doesn't show everything. For instance, I had an issue with the bathroom that I didn't know how to resolve and I figured that American Home Shield would be able to help me with it. After I called them on the phone and told them what the issue was, they gave me a blow-by-blow tracking information for when the technician was coming and his name.

    American Home Shield sent an expert that was supposed to look at the job, diagnose it and see what can be done to fix it. The first technician that came out told me that he couldn't do the job. He was a plumber and he told me that it was an electrical job. He was gonna refer it to an electrician. I waited for him for a week and a half to do the referral, but then AHS never received it, so I had to call back. When the technician makes a referral, if he sent me a copy of it, I would know that he did it, or if there was a note that said he referred me back to American Home Shield and they're gonna refer me to the electrician, I would know it's done. It wouldn't have taken quite so long.

    When the electrician came out, he said, "No, it's not an electric job, it's actually a plumber job." It's important that when a client calls in, American Home Shield gets a little more information about what's needed rather than just put them in a category. It's taken two people to come out, and still, the job's not done. It's been almost three weeks now. I'm waiting to find out what's gonna happen right now.

    I have one complaint. It was earlier this year. Our hot water tank went and I put in a request and American Home Shield sent someone out within two days. They checked and said that we would need a new tank. We had a 50-gallon tank and he told me that they no longer make those tanks for residential use. So, he brought a 30-gallon tank with the piece that mixes the water so it provides as much hot water as a 50-gallon tank. But afterwards, I was talking to somebody else and we went online and looked it up, and saw 50-gallon tanks everywhere. I don't know why he told us that we couldn't do a 50-gallon tank anymore.

    I had the air conditioner serviced back at the beginning of June. The guy who serviced it said that something was wrong with the capacitor. So, I reached out to American Home Shield and the gentleman who came out looked and said, "Everything was good. You won't know if there's something wrong with the capacitor until it goes." Shortly after, we had a leak and I called him back out. The leak was a clogged drain. He took care of that. Now we're keeping our eye on the fan and capacitor. I had a couple of instances when I had to call somebody back out for the same issue, but everything eventually got resolved. I would recommend AHS.

    The service with American Home Shield is fine. The AC unit stopped working recently and when the rep got one air conditioning place, they said they couldn't come out for a day or two. I said, "That doesn't work. I’m 76. I can't be without air conditioning." She called this other place and they responded and were here in an hour and a half. The repairman said there was a wire that melted and it shortened something. He put in a hard start box on the compressor and fixed the issue. He was very pleasant and did a nice job.

    What was interesting was I was under the impression that American Home Shield would replace the air conditioning if the air conditioning went. The repairman said that was not true. They will continue to fix it until it’s not fixable. Then, they can replace the compressor, and they will charge me whatever they decide to charge me for. He said it could be $3,000 and I never knew that. That’s very disappointing. They never sent me a contract. They sent me something on an email that I could never open but they never sent me anything on paper that I had to ask for.

    We had a leaky bathtub faucet and the pull stop that turned the shower off and on was dripping. So, I called American Home Shield, and the contractor came. They came over with an older man and a younger apprentice with them, fixed it and said, “Okay, it's fixed.” I like having a home warranty program so that I know that I don't have to pay more than a certain amount for a repair. Like for the plumber guy to come, I had to pay $100 for that. So if he got there and said, “Looks like we have to replace all this stuff,” I’d go, “What? Well, how much is that?” But it's expensive. That's why at our new house, I'll have a different company that doesn’t charge quite so much.

    Our air conditioner broke down a couple of years ago. We had AHS, so we asked them to come and fix it but they couldn't. And the contractor kept coming back and doing more things. “Oh, your home warranty doesn't cover this.” So, the cost was over $1,000. I said, “Hey. It says in their ad and when you sign up that if they can't fix it, then they'll either fix it or replace it.” So I asked, “Why don't you just replace it?” The air conditioning company said AHS will never replace our air conditioner. They will just have them fix it over and over again. They won't let them replace it. I said, “That's not what they said in their brochures.” “Sure. We fix it for a month or two and then it breaks down again. Now here we come back out again and you get charged your $100 deductible every time we come out. And we do this all the time for AHS and they never have approved a replacement.”

    That's a rip-off. Because the unit is old. It keeps breaking down. And they don't pay for the Freon. The Freon was $900. So, we had to pay that. And the tech said, “Now we got to put this stuff in it and see if that fixed it. We don't know if it's going to fix it. We'll come back in two months.” Also, it took them forever to come out. Like, “Can you come out today?” “No.” “Tomorrow? Next week?” “In a few weeks.” So here we are going for a month without air conditioner during summer. Because that is who AHS said they would send out but they're overbooked.

    The tech was very professional. He came and did exactly the rekeying. I had some other lock issues as well, and he was able to fix everything. I ended up having to buy a couple of more parts, but I knew that. And I was going to go to Home Depot and attempt to do it myself. He had the keypad entry lock or deadbolt in his van, the exact color that I needed, which is awesome, because it's not a standard color. And he was able to get that for me at a much better price than I could have gone to Home Depot. That is a company you want to be associated with. He gave great customer service. He got me fixed up. He helped me fix a door jamb problem that I've had ever since I've been here. And it was something tedious that, if you're in the business, you can look at it and be, “Oh, just adjust this.” So, I have nothing but high praises for their service.

    I've gone back and forth over the years. I like now that it's just a fixed price. It's $57 a month. I like that. It's a little steep, but at the same time, it's like an insurance coverage, just thinking if something expensive does go. I would love for American Home Shield to offer more on the side type features, like fix it or repair people. The outside of, “Hey, this is broken.” Here's an example. I had to install a Google Nest doorbell. And the transformer that's for my doorbell isn't high enough voltage to run the new Nest doorbell, because when it was put in in the ‘80s, it was just your normal standard push-button doorbell. That requires an electrician to come out. I don't even know where to begin. I just try to call around. Unless you're a big commercial operation, a lot of the larger companies won't even talk to you about a transformer for that. There's nobody that services more of that small project that you just need to have done.

    So, if AHS could tap into that market, because they already have the contracts and the mechanisms to do that, even if it's just a referral process. Or it's like, “Hey, this isn't warranty related or American Home Shield related, but I wanna hire a contractor.” And here are the lists of the free contractors. And telling them what you want and establishing, “Hey. Yeah. We can do that for you.” That is a huge market that is untapped.

    I have now requested three times for my ex-husband to be removed from the account, and he's still listed as primary. So, every time I try to make a scheduled visit, it's still under his name versus mine, even though I pay for it. That is frustrating. And AHS kept on saying, “Oh, yeah. We have to have a supervisor approve it.” So, if somebody can find a supervisor because it's frustrating to be in the middle of a divorce, but it's even more frustrating when you keep on getting phone calls.

    Are there some things that AHS can improve on? Yes, of course. But are they in the upper percentile where they are customer-focused? Absolutely. Are there some things from a coverage perspective that they could expand on or better improve? Yes, absolutely. Time for resolution. It's hard because they rely on contractors that they have already pre-negotiated some cutthroat deals. So, it's always hard to have that be at the top. But if there are ways to push for some prioritization or some relief, especially when it's HVAC related or electrical. Those are two things that I would love to see a bit more of. Otherwise, it feels like you get in the queue and wait. But at the same time, I also get it.

    All of my friends have AHS because I've had great experiences. My first home, two weeks in after buying it, which means I'm broke, my water heater went out. And I'm new to this whole homeownership, and to have a water heater go out, I don't know where to begin. So, it's very easy. Ever since then, which was 20 years ago, I highly recommend AHS to everybody.

    I had a roof leak and I called American Home Shield and asked for it to be repaired because I have roof leak coverage. They sent out a guy to investigate it, but it was from the roofing company. A few days later, they came out and fixed it. They replaced wood, shingles, tar paper, and the layer of freeze. They spoke very little English but I’m a patient person and I talked with him a little bit. We understood each other and they did what they had to do. What I like so far is that everything that I have called American Home Shield for, which is rekeying and this roof, has been fixed as advertised.

    My experience was terrible. My AC started acting up on June 21st. American Home Shield sent a guy out but he didn't fix it. He came back a second time but also didn't fix it. I called in the third time. American Home Shield assigned it to him again and he declined it. They sent it to guy number three last Saturday which was a holiday weekend, and their vendors don't have emergency 24-hour or after-hour service. So, he's not coming until tomorrow. I haven't had good AC for going on three weeks now and it’s 97 degrees in Atlanta, Georgia. It’s hotter than hell. American Home Shield needs to hire better vendors. They got to hire people that do not work 9:00 to 5:00; they got to work after-hours to carry their customers. Also, the guy that’s coming out tomorrow is only rated 2 stars. The reviews on this guy are terrible. I have no faith that he’s gonna be able to fix it tomorrow.

    I have multiple properties on the insurance with the warranty. One time I wanted to do a claim and American Home Shield wrote the other property, which I'm sure is an honest mistake and they said they will look at it and fix it. They said to me in the last conversation that they will see the recording if I gave them the right address when I called in the claim. And they said they will come back to me. I'm sure they will listen. Maybe because they have my sister homes and my houses, they made a mistake clicking something. Other than that, American Home Shield answers the phone and listens. I don’t live near my house to see what the tenants need and what happens. So, this will be like a peace of mind to have. Having a company who hires people and covers some of the expenses will be nice.

    There was a leak in the AC. The parts and the repair were covered. But the refill of the Freon was not, so we got $10 off each pound of Freon. We got a $10 off 150. The only problem is we need 17 of those 150. It was costly, but that was nothing that American Home Shield could have foreseen. Freon right now is through the roof expensive. So, I understand that.

    But the first one that we had, the water heater company, was terrible. And the work, and the communication with the company was terrible. The company said, “Sorry. The water heater came in, but it's the wrong one.” And, “We'll be there Friday.” But they don't show up Friday. And I call their 24 hour hotline, and look at their website, they're closed on weekends. So when they said that they would be there Friday and said, “No, we'll be there Saturday.” So, “Wait a second. You're closed on Saturday.” That was when I called AHS. I said, “Who are you guys using? Because these people are shady. Now we have to stay in a hotel for the next three days over the weekend because they're not going to be here till Tuesday.” We tried to recoup anything. AHS said, “We will refund you the $75." We would never use them again.

    When we looked them up, all the reviews are the same. And out of 800 reviews, it has one stars. This is recommended by a home warranty company. So, I cancelled that work order. The second person I talked to was very helpful. He said, “I'm gonna give you four other plumbing companies. When you call back to schedule anyone, use one of those.”

    It seems the vendors that AHS chooses are bottom of the barrel. I get it, but I need to do a bit more homework on the front side before I just agree with whoever is being chosen. Because when I called back, the second guy was very helpful. I understand that phone calls get outsourced. They're hard to understand. There's a bit of a language barrier. And I get that, but they were still helpful. Six of them is what was given to me. Three of those don't even exist on Yelp. It's hard to find them on a map. And another one had terrible reviews. So, two of the six were the only two that I would have even considered going with.

    It's very difficult to work with American Home Shield. Anytime that I've had something that needed to be addressed, it takes an extra-long time to have a technician come in and do the repair and the technicians that they're sending are usually ill-prepared. It tends to take a lot longer than if I was just to call somebody myself. I had a refrigerator that had a problem a couple of years ago and they weren't very helpful. They sent somebody out and they weren't able to repair it. I had to keep arguing with them. Eventually, they said they need to replace the refrigerator but it took almost four months to have them do that. They sent people out to look at it, they replaced parts, and then they replaced more parts. With the amount of money that they spent replacing parts, we could have just replaced the refrigerator from the get-go and saved a lot of money.

    The only time that I call them now is if I have AC issues and things that are on the larger side of things. Other than that, it doesn’t make sense to call them for appliances. I had them in another home many years ago and I really liked how they were doing. But now, I try to get ahold of somebody and I'm put into a long call queue. Then you get somebody that's overseas that has a real heavy accent. It's hard to understand them. In the past, I could call that number almost instantly and the company I was working with would be able to look it up and get me on schedule. Now, they say they've got to wait until they get the paperwork or they can't do anything. It seems to take a fairly long time to get something like that back. I've looked at canceling my services with them for a really long time, but there's no other good alternative out there so I'm kind of stuck with them.

    I have been waiting to resolve this issue for two weeks. The contractor figured out that we have to replace the pool pump because it got too old and it's overheating. So, it's not running continuously. If we leave it on like that, it could be a fire hazard to the house because it could overheat too much. So, they decided to replace it. When I tried for a replacement, the contractor submitted the claim. And in addition to what AHS is paying, the contractor wants more money, saying that he had some modifications to do, which I was not aware of. I did not ask for any modifications. I only asked them to replace the existing machine. They told me that once they replace the pump, the existing plumbing might not work. So, if it doesn't work, that's what they are calling as a modification.

    I called American Home Shield. The customer service people have no experts on them and I have no way to contact the authorization team because there is no way. There is no phone number or the customer service people could not reach out to the authorization team. The main disconnect with this insurance company that I have is the authorization team is not allowed to talk to anybody, neither me, nor customer service.

    The authorization team only talks to the technician. If the technician is the problem, how am I, as a consumer, going to resolve it? So, after all these discussions happening for a week, we finally decided to let AHS give me a cashout option, and I fix it locally with somebody else. They don't care. It looks like the contractor submitted the claim and they got the replacement parts already. So, once the replacement parts are ordered, AHS is not supposed to put the cash claim because the parts are already ordered. That's why my cashout option has been canceled.

    And without me knowing anything, some other agent went ahead and submitted that cashout option again last Thursday. So, I am just waiting on how much they are going to give me for a cashout option so I can go through the same contractor and pay $800, or if the cashout option is good enough for my local quote, I'm just going to use that cashout option and get the work done locally.

    The other thing I was worried about is the contractor that was assigned to me, Whitney T. Holdings, is based out of Lansing. The tech has to drive one and a half hour to get here. They do service the area, but they come from so far. So, what I thought was, this extra modification thing that they're coming up with is the money for gas. It's a 90-mile drive from one way. With the current gas prices, it's not easy to afford that. That is what he was trying to make money off of me. Because I have to pay the modification amount upfront. When the technician shows up, I have to pay that amount and they're asking $800 for it. It's the pool pump and the fan filter. When I shopped around locally, that's exactly what the amount is to install a new pump. So, I said, "You guys start just replacing the existing machine. I'm not really trying to upgrade my machine."

    I'm only saying bad things about things that don't work out. Like my exhaust fan in the bathroom ran out last week, I submitted a request, a contractor came in, figured out that it's wrong. He spoke with the authorization team, got it approved right on the phone right there, got the part last weekend, came in today, replaced it, done. But If AHS had chosen somebody local, maybe 10 or 20 miles from me, those contractors would be more happy to shop by than trying to see, "What am I going to do with the gas today? Am I gonna get the money from the consumer or what?"

    A technician came in for a claim I had and said that the motor was bad. Usually, technicians take a picture of the new product being put in. But for this claim, the technician never showed me what he replaced which I found weird. The product is working so he did something to the AC. But I would have wanted some proof that the motor was replaced. I don't know if he changed a motor and if they put oil on it. The tech said he did but I didn't see it happening.

    I would have wanted to see the old part. He could have taken a picture of the old part and then a picture of the new part after it was assembled and then put in. With the technology we have today, it should not be very difficult. A motor is about 100 some dollars to replace so I paid the deductible and I'm paying 800 bucks for American Home Shield. It's one of those things where it is what it is and that's what I was stuck with. On the whole, the experience was fine.

    I have had good experiences most of the time that I've had my home warranty. But recently, something seemed to have fallen through the cracks. I had somebody come out and look at my garage door opener. Initially, the tech fixed it. But even when he fixed it, he told me, "This is a common problem we see. It's likely that it will break again. When it does, you can call us back directly and we will have the part ordered." This was because he knew it might not stick. It lasted a little longer than he initially told me. He expected it would be within a month or two but it was more like three months. At that point, I had called back to say to the tech he was right and that I needed a part apparently. I haven't heard anything. I let American Home Shield know. I reopened the ticket so that they knew it wasn't really all the way fixed. I have since spoken to people at American Home Shield but the issue is still not resolved.

    I love the convenience of American Home Shield's service. It's really easy to navigate their website and they do respond in a timely manner. Every time I had a question, I got a callback. That's why this particular thing with the garage door claim seems weird. I spoke to one lady when I call in and she put me on hold and called the contractor right then and there. The contractor didn't answer. It wasn't like she wasn't trying but then I never heard back from her. She told me that when she gets ahold of them, she would let me know what was going on. I left a message for the contractor directly and haven't heard back from them either. My only other complaint is that every time I call or even when they left messages for me before, I couldn't understand any of it because I could tell English wasn't the rep's first language.

So, I said, “Could I pick somebody else?” And they said, “No.” It's gotta be somebody on their list. And I said, “Okay. Schedule the appointment.” That contractor said they weren't sure whether the coils or the whole unit needed to be replaced.

    I was hoping they were gonna put it in this week. I called them yesterday and they said that they decided to replace the coils and that American Home Shield would be sending the coils to the contractor to put in. I said, “Well, do you have any idea when that's gonna happen? I'm at work today.” And they said, “Oh, between now and 30 days from now.” They're talking about several weeks of not having a functioning air conditioner. The fact that it's taking so long to be fixed concerns me a little bit.

    The other situation is that they were offering a special to have your house rekeyed for 100 bucks. I called for an appointment with the place that they contracted it with.

I turned it all the way off and let it defrost. I put the water hose on it and defrosted it then turned it back on. Then the inside unit where my laundry room is started turning ice on the bar. I turned the unit back off then called American Home Shield.

    A repairman came out and he asked me what was going on. I told him what it was and he came in the laundry room, pulled out some piece that looked like a motor, went to his truck, came back, put that piece in and told me that I needed a different air filter than what I've been using but he didn't have it on his truck. He gave me the size and told me that if I find it, then I can call him and he'll come back out and put it in for me. He was very helpful. It took a few days, but I expected that with it being summer.

    This was the only service call and it was easy to do it online. That was quick. Also, the company that was called did good. The electrical people that got the claim came out and looked at what the problem was. They came back a week and a half later after they received approval and they installed the part that was needed. And that was it. I had to call them back a couple of times, just because I didn't know the process. It was my first time having a service call. This one company seemed to work well.

    I got the bill online. There has been a back and forth with it. At first, it looked like I was getting double charged for the call. But I noticed that the bill didn't go through. I got charged on the 29th and I paid the bill on the 30th. But it read pending. I paid it with the account that was already on my profile. That's where they get the regular monthly payment. It didn't go through then. It's pending again as of the 7th.

    Maybe American Home Shield is having trouble processing the entire fee because I got an email saying that I owed money. But I thought that was paid. And maybe I thought it was paid because it read pending. But after going back through my account, I didn't see that it was debited. So I'm trying to wait to see if this one goes through. If not, I'm just gonna pay with a different card. It's supposed to be linked to my bank account. So, I thought it would be easy because that's where the monthly payment goes to.

    The frustrating part is when I got online, there was no obvious phone number to talk to somebody to iron out the payment. So either it goes through or I pay it a different way. So, I communicated with somebody over Messenger text and that was not very effective. After a certain time, that conversation ends and you have to start all over again. And usually the tech that you get back on the conversation is not the same tech that you were talking to before or customer service person. So you have to tell your problem all over again. I asked them for a number and they gave me that number. It has been hard to close the loop because talking to somebody on Messenger is not very effective. Other than that, the service was fine.

I received daily harassing calls debt collection calls every day between 5/17 and 5/31.

I spoke to Sheila in Customer care. She again advised the coverage was removed and I don't owe the $575.

    She sent me to Retention because I wanted to cancel my 2nd year. Spoke to Mary in Retention. She confirmed the coverage removed and I didn't owe the debt and she would be submitting a special form to have the past due removed. Continued harassing calls between 6/10-6/18. Our AC was having issues and I called to put in a service request. GUESS WHAT! No can do that because I owe $575 past due. Called and spoke to Gisele. Because the past due wasn't removed (should have been removed on 5/17/2022), I can't put in a service request. I had to shell out $270.00 for an AC repair. I asked if I could just pay the darn $575 so I could get a service request and she said no because I don't owe it.

    HELLLOOOOOOOO. If I did pay it, they wouldn't refund it when they did remove it. Nor would they reimburse us for the $270 AC service call. I made a formal complaint for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on 6/18/2022. It's now 6/28/2022 and I continue to get daily harassing phone calls from these people for a debt I don't owe.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. We needed our central air looked at and tried making arrangements in March, but there are only 2 contractors in our area that accept AHS. One of them wouldn’t even put us on their schedule, claiming that AHS wouldn’t authorize them to do so. When we called, AHS would just say that they did give authorization, so we never got anywhere. The other contractor, at first, wouldn’t even agree to come out because we “live too far for where they’re willing to go”. We finally managed to convince them otherwise, after explaining that the only other contractor who accepts AHS was being difficult. Two days before our appointment, they cancelled saying that they had Covid. We rescheduled for the soonest available, which was three weeks out. The DAY BEFORE the appointment, which was supposed to be on June 27, they cancelled us because they were “overbooked for the rest of the season”.

    We reached out to AHS to cancel and be refunded. Our policy was cancelled, but not without a hefty fee and with no reimbursement for the service we never received. We were transferred from one level of management to another, to no avail. Overall, we’re out $400 for absolutely nothing. If you ask me, this is pure theft. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

    This guy came out and says, “Oh, yeah. We got to reorder you these.” Then he says he was gonna do that. And then I go online and looks, and it says the situation is resolved. Well, no, it isn't. It hasn't been repaired. It still hasn't been repaired. And so I had to call and open that back up. And they're calling the repairman and he's looking for the parts. It's July 8th now and going on seven months of not being repaired.

    So now, on a different side, my air conditioner died three and a half weeks ago. And so we're working on that. One of the issues is just with extra fees. I am $1,400 in extra fees of things that are required but not covered. And that is a little frustrating. For instance, an air conditioner sits on a pad outside. And they said, “Oh, well, we need to bring you a new pad.” Well, I said, “I already have one.” And they said, “I don’t know. We just have to charge you for it.” “So what happens to the 4x4 foot cement pad I have?” and that type of thing.

    I moved into a new house and there are all sorts of issues coming up as I go. The pool hasn't worked out so well, but the tech said it was pre-existing stuff. It turns out there are more things wrong with the pool than American Home Shield will even want to play with. So, I'm still working my way through that. But as far as everything else that's come up, it's been very nice. In fact, one of the things I thought was the most reasonable, and I wasn't expecting it, is the fact that they lump repairs into one deductible. I have three appliance issues. A dryer actually went out while we were using it, and then a kitchen thing was an appliance and the refrigerator. Those all ended up being one deductible and I didn't see that coming. I figured that would be three. So, I love that.

    There was an issue with the garage door, and the claim on that went well. I was hoping the spring was broken, but it wasn't. It was just loose. So, the tech tightened it up. He said I have really crummy springs. If it works, that's all I care about. So, he tightened it up and it works. So far, because not everything I'm submitting is on the list that I need to check, I've been calling it in and the people are very nice. Go for AHS.

    AHS was very kind and eager when I was signing up. When it was time for me to get a claim for my air conditioning and my heater, they did not care at all. The air conditioner broke in the middle of July when it was super hot. The heater broke in February and it got to be 30 degrees in the house. I've had to repair my air conditioning units and I've had to replace my furnace. Each of those was extremely expensive. And each of those, American Home Shield gave me a difficult time. With the furnace, they said, “Oh no, we don't pay for this and we take out this.” I also had to call them 15 times. Each time I spoke with someone, they said they'd call me back. They never did. It was very exhausting and that experience was awful.

    Recently, my washing machine stopped working and we found that it was the lock. The washing machine is not going to work if the lock does not engage. The tech did fine. He was quick. He was early, which was wonderful. But I'm a woman and I'm by myself with my kids. I would prefer anyone who comes to the house to have some uniform or card to let me know who he is. ‘Cause I had two repairs and I didn't know who was who. So, I had to ask him.

    American Home Shield sent South Placer for an air conditioner repair. The system was not running. I called AHS at the number on the policy. My only problem was is that I didn't realize that the policy number changed every year even though it renewed, but they were able to look up the current policy and update it for me. If I had done it online, I would have seen that there was a new policy number. When I originally got the policy, I downloaded it so I went to that policy file I have the PDF for and looked up the telephone number on it. When I called, it said it was expired. I was able to press the number to get to speak to somebody and they were able to rectify it for me.

    AHS let me know when somebody would come out, and I had called them earlier in the morning to confirm everything was still on. They said they would call me when somebody was on their way. They gave me a window of time and said that they would update me. It got to be about that window. I hadn't heard from them. When I called in they said, "Oh, I'm sorry. They just let us know he's there now." It was fine.

    The actual company did good service. The was a personable person. We told him we had some ideas about what it may be. He said, "We'll take a look." It turned out that we were correct. It was one of the electrical components. He was able to replace that and got the system back up and running. We asked him to do a check just to make sure everything else looked okay, and he put his diagnostic tools on there and said everything was fine. He went inside and made sure it was cooling appropriately. So far, so good.

    I put in a claim for the air conditioner. And the guy was Johnny-on-the-spot, got out there the next morning. It was fantastic. And he said he could only replace the compressor. I said, “Fine.” “It’s gonna cost you $1,800 for Freon.” So at that point, I decided would do a new air conditioner, and said, “I want to do the cashback.” Just cash out the work instead of doing the actual work, and we would go from there. He said, “Okay. American Home Shield will contact you. I’m gonna turn in my report on Saturday that evening,” the evening the guy had come out. But I never heard from anybody.

    Tuesday, I called American Home Shield and said, “Hey, what’s going on? I want to do the cash out option on this. I’m just gonna replace my air conditioner.” So, the rep looked it up, said, “Well, we don’t have the report from the contractor yet. We'll call him, and then we'll call you back here later today.” But I haven't heard from anybody since.

    We’re talking about a 20-year-old AC unit that they would put 800 bucks into, and it would cost me $2,000 almost for Freon. And for 6, I can have a new deal. So, they won’t have to deal with mine for another 15 years. But I understand the game. We’re gonna do this as cheaply as we possibly can for now, until we absolutely have to do it.

    The fan of the first blower was working and there was air coming through the vents. But it was only hot air. The furnace is in the attic and it was just circulating hot air through that. What usually happens is there's no AC, which is actually what was wrong. After I made a claim with American Home Shield, I got a text message and an email. A tech came and he was very good. He told me what was wrong. He said that there was a leak around the valve and that was letting the Freon out of the air conditioner. He went out and fixed the unit. He replaced the valve on both units. I asked him to check the other unit for Freon to make sure there wasn't a leak on that one too. He said he put two pounds in the unit that was already working. On the one that wasn't working, he put in seven pounds. We were all very happy.

    The AC was making a knocking noise and it wasn't cooling the house. A.L. Affordable came out and diagnosed our air conditioner. The tech showed me that the pressure was good, but the compressor was not working. He replaced the solenoid to try to fix it. It did not work. He put a solenoid on and a booster to try to fix it and that didn't work. So, he knew that we had to replace the compressor. It's working fine now.

    A.L. Affordable was fine. The problem is with American Home Shield. We just had this air conditioner fixed in September, which has been less than a year. Now, I have to pay for the Freon again. My problem is why should I have to pay for the Freon twice in less than a year for a unit that's broken again. Before A.L. Affordable picked up the compressor, I said, "I shouldn't have to pay for Freon again if this unit is broken again in less than a year." The lady said that I could not deny the claim now because nothing had been fixed. She said I had to wait until the compressor was put in, which didn't make any sense. I had to pay $600 out of my pocket. I've called and complained multiple times already and someone said that they were going to reimburse me my $600. But now, they're saying that they're not going to reimburse me because Freon's not included in the contract.

I liked the reps I had both times. They told me the name of the company, Fire and Ice, and they gave me the phone number. They said if the company didn’t call back within a day, I was to call back. Both of the people that came out were excellent. The first guy checked the unit. He turned it on and he turned it right back off. He turned it off because he said with the fan hitting the motor, it would cause a spark. He took a picture and got the information so as to get the right parts. He went back to the company and let them know. He took a day before he let American Home Shield know. It took two weeks and four days for them to get the air conditioner done. That was the hottest part of the summer and it was in triple digits.

    When I tried to call Fire and Ice up a few times, it went straight to the voice box. But the voice box was filled and I couldn't leave a message. I called American Home Shield and the agent put me on hold and said she would call Fire and Ice right then. Evidently, they got a different number for the public. The rep talked to them and got the information from them. They told her that they were waiting on the part and she said that the part could be in on Friday. But she said they would be out here Friday so I ended up calling Fire and Ice. They told me it just was a misunderstanding. The part doesn't come out until Friday and one of them won’t be able to come out until Monday to take care of the air conditioner. Everything’s fine now.

    My kitchen sink was backing up so I called AHS on the phone and asked them to send someone out. They gave me a name and the timeframe of 8:00 to 12:00. Water Safe came out and the tech explained to me what he did. He fixed it and cleaned out something for me. But everything is still not well. The sink continues to backup but I have not notified AHS. This has been my only claim and so far, I'm okay with what happened.

    I had problems with the other people, and I was dissatisfied with them. If they knew I had a well and septic tank, they should have never taken my money and had me to pay them for them to come out and tell me that I needed to get a plumber, a well and septic tank person out there, versus them telling me upfront that they didn’t deal with well and septic tank. So, they took my payment, but they didn’t do anything. They just came out there and looked at it, and told me that I needed a well and septic tank man. I was very disappointed.

    Also, they didn’t send the reports in. That was on the 29th of June. I kept calling them everyday and leaving messages. Nobody would pick up the phone. American Home Shield would call in, but still couldn’t get anybody. So, they were sending messages. When I finally sent my final thing, telling them, “This is it. I’m not talking to y’all no more. Don’t call me because I’m dissatisfied. And I would move forward on what I need to do to get my stuff done in this house,” that was when they came out to tell me that I’m not covered from AHS.

    But I thought I had went in the very next day, and revealed my AHS. And I covered my well septic tank. But they said that I didn’t, so I need to find my paperwork. It has something dealing with the well and septic tank. What it says is if I got a stoppage in my water line, and about the drainage or whatever the part in there that said it should have been covered. But they didn’t even consider that. I’ll just take matters into my own hands because this is ridiculous.

    Recently, I told American Home Shield exactly the problem that I was having, my dishwasher had stopped working, and I needed somebody to come out there and check it. That company was very thorough. They called me and set up the appointment. The tech came in and explained everything to me. He was very polite and very good. He said that the dishwasher was fine, but it was an electrical problem that was the problem. And he went in to get an electrician out there. He did exactly what he said he would do. He said he would go back out there, and he would call it back in so that he could get somebody out there. Within a day, somebody called me to come back out there and do what they need to do. He came out, set the appointment. And the electrician came out there and fixed it. I would recommend them to anybody. If I didn’t have insurance, I would have gone back with them to get something done.

    I would recommend American Home Shield highly. They treated us fair throughout the years. We've had several things that needed work, and we've always gotten good results. Recently, the air conditioner quit running. I called the original people that put the unit in for me, and they came out and diagnosed the problem. I then called American Home Shield to see what we could do about getting it fixed. American Home Shield took it over and sent Jarvis out. I had dealt with Jarvis in the past and they're very good people. The tech checked the unit like the first person did, and he said the same thing. The compressor was out, and the reason the fan wouldn't work to blow air was there was a capacitor out also. He took it from there and dealt with American Home Shield. Then I dealt with American Home Shield, and they ordered the compressor and he got the other part. It tool a little over a week to get it done, but as soon as he got the compressor, he scheduled an appointment and came right out to fix it.

    We had a problem with our heating system, which involved a boiler and different valves, and we had a water leak in our cellar. So we contacted American Home Service and they sent out a plumber who diagnosed the problem and had to shut the system off. Unfortunately, the weather had warmed up by then. They ordered a part and were out here just a week ago. They installed the part and everything seems to be working just fine. Overall, there were a couple of delays, but American Home Shield let us know that there was a problem and kept us in the loop. We’re happy with the service.

    There was a leaky pipe under the sink. The techs I had were very personable and good. I’m pleased with the service. The only thing was they had to go get a part and come back the next day. Typically, most non-warranty plumbers easily have parts on their trucks. If I called the local guy that I saw in the paper, he would have addressed that issue immediately. If he had to get a part, he would have gone and gotten the parts and then come back. That's the difference that I see in the service that American Home Shield provides. I probably wouldn't recommend them to a friend. Not that I was dissatisfied. It's just the choice of a provider. You don't have the ability to choose the provider that you want.

    I'm not real happy with American Home Shield at this point. I had a problem with my air conditioner and I'm coming out of pocket $1,100. Based on what I was told when I was first signed up, I was not expecting that something could happen that would cost me $1,100 out-of-pocket to get a repair done. Also, the repair still has not been completed.

    My upstairs unit was not cooling and when the contractor came in, they said that there was something wrong with the coil. They wanted to redo some things and I didn't have a problem with that. But then they said that all of that was not covered. My initial conversation with them did lead me to believe that the out-of-pocket would be much of anything. So the $1,100 caught me completely off guard. But I got to get the air conditioner fixed. The contractor put a new unit in. But it's still not working. Now they're telling me that there's a leak somewhere. They're supposed to come back today to try to find the leak. So I've been with no air conditioning upstairs all summer long.

    Every time I try to call American Home Shield, it's just voicemail. I was told to press nine to be called back, but nine doesn't work. The people that are coming to fix the unit is the same scenario. The wait time is forever and to press nine if you want to be called back, but the nine doesn't work. So it’s either hang up out of frustration or stay on the phone for an hour till somebody picks up.

    When you're assigned a tech or a company to take care of a problem, when you give the timeline, then it's easier. Because now, I have one with the garage door. We complained. AHS said they have been waiting for the part. We thought it had been resolved, but still, the service hasn't been done. At least they have to give us the state of affairs, then the customer knows. Because when we have several things to do. I was following up. So far, for 14 days, at least we should know the status update.

They got right to the issue, fixed it, and let us know what to do for follow-up and maintenance going forward. It was the same thing with the roof repair.

    There was no cool air coming out of the vents of my air conditioner. I talked to a person at American Home Shield and the process was easy. It was the amount that I have to pay in order for the unit to be fixed. It will take me three months to save up to 1,515 for the reconfigurations that have to be done in order for the techs to fix it. I talked to American Home Shield and they said that was the price that the installers were gonna charge. They were paying the rest of it. The techs that checked out the air conditioner told me that my furnace blower was shot. The air conditioner has to come through the blower and it's not working on my furnace. I needed a new furnace as well as all of this extra stuff that they were gonna do. They were gonna hook it up and update the pipes.

    We needed our air fixed, and we didn’t like one of the people American Home Shield sent out. The guy turned our unit on and off and ended up going outside and unplugging something. When my husband got home, he put it back like it was and said the guy shouldn’t have done that. If it rained, our whole system would have been out. My husband didn’t want him to come back out. American Home Shield sent somebody else, but we ended up not needing it, because the issue wasn’t as bad as we thought it was. Because the first guy turned our unit off for a while, it defrosted and started working again.

    I would like to be able to pick our own person to come out instead of using who AHS wants, but I want it to still be covered. Because sometimes, some of the people that come out aren’t good. Other than that, American Home Shield has been good. They can’t control what comes out, but they’ve always been professional.
