    The air conditioning wasn't working. The contractor came out and everything was frozen solid. They fixed what they could, but they couldn't check for the Freon levels and stuff like that until it had thawed out, so they had to come back. We tried to submit again for the second issue and it would take a long time so we cancelled it. They called an agent directly and had them set it up. They came back out and fixed it. They solved it as fast as they could possibly resolve it and did a great job. They also gave us information on how to prevent it in the future. We would like to get them to come out every time. If people are looking for somebody for the services that home warranties provide, they should go for American Home Shield.

    It's been so blooming hot here, and we've been running in three digits for a long time. I had my thermostat set on 80 and the temperature had gone down to 79, and my AC wouldn't shut off. I called American Home Shield for someone to come out and see what was wrong with it. It used to be that I could set up an appointment online, but I couldn't this time. I had to call and everything was automated. There was no live person. I tried to do a chat online and that didn't work.

    After I called, I thought, “I'm not supposed to do this because of the electronics in it," but I shut down my AC while it was running. I was told that it could mess up the settings. When it started getting hot in here again, I cut the unit back on and it started working fine. I figured, “Okay, I've paid my 125. They can just come on out and check it,” but everything checked out fine on it, and the guy that came in from Epic had no idea what caused the issue. It was so weird. I asked him if it's possible that there might have been a glitch in the thermostat. He said, “Normally, with the thermostats, when they go, they go. There are no glitches.” He also said that what I paid is good for 30 days with them and if there were any problems like that again, to call and they'll come back out. So far, my AC is still working like it should.

    American Home Shield is the best around, and I don't mind paying what I pay each month because it's worth it. I had to go through them one other time a couple years ago for my dryer. It wasn't drying the clothes, so they sent someone out here. One thing that the warranty company does is they check the brand, and they send someone out that deals with that brand. I like that idea ‘cause if the repairman is familiar with the brand, then they ought to be able to take care of it with no problem. The repairman replaced the motor in the dryer and that only cost me 125. That was fantastic.

    I called American Home Shield out for a routine maintenance check on the AC unit. Our hottest month is around the corner and I wanted to make sure everything was running good. I don't want that thing dying out on middle of summer. The tech was very professional and explained everything to me. He said, “Man, you’re one of the rare customers who call just for a maintenance check.” He checked the Freon and the coils, and everything's in top shape. He said the outside unit was fairly clean, but he went ahead and cleaned it out a little and went on his way. Two weeks prior to this one, my dryer wasn’t heating and that claim was good also. The repairman explained what was wrong with it and got it back running again. Overall, having American Home Shield saves me a lot of money, and I want to see if I can upgrade to the platinum.

    Plumbing Expresso was very good. It was the second time I've worked with them. They speak Spanish and my tenants speak Spanish, so that was very helpful. Also, they were very quick to contact me as soon as American Home Shield finds the dispatch to them. Then, I gave them the tenant’s contact information and they were very quick to contact the tenant. They accommodated the tenant’s schedule to get there and I appreciate all that. They called me as soon as they left my unit to give me a report about what was the problem and showed the tenants how to use the item properly.

    I have not had any major problems with American Home Shield. There was just one minor thing when there was only one vendor available, Brick Street Plumbing, and I don't like working with Brick Street Plumbing. The communication with their customer is bad. I had to wait, which I didn't mind, until AHS cleared it up and there were multiple vendors for plumbing available. Then, I was able to get the vendor I wanted, Plumbing Expresso.

    It's been easy to submit the claim to AHS. It's relatively pain free. I'm satisfied with AHS. But I wish that when submitting a claim, I could pick the contractor based off of reviews, even if they only gave me two or three options. But everything was smooth in terms of getting my request in and getting a contractor assigned. I was a little bit surprised how casual the plumbing service was, specifically because they asked me how I wanted to receive my paperwork after service. I said I would like for them to email it to me and the contractor said, “Okay, no problem.” They sent me a picture via text message of the paperwork, but then they never emailed me the formal paperwork. I've followed up with them a couple of times and I told them that I need it for expensing purposes. So on the AHS side, it’s been a good experience, but from the perspective of the actual contractor itself, they lacked a little bit of follow up and professionalism.

The AC is working fine now. American Home Shield gives you the peace of mind that if anything breaks in your house, it’s gonna be solved. I don't need to find anyone to come.

    30% of our house was without power. A tech from DNZ diagnosed it and figure out what the problem was. He said something with the line wasn't connecting right. My wife went online and filled out a request for service form. The company said they were going to be here at a certain time and they showed up. The tech was very thorough but he didn't end up finishing. He said he couldn't find a neutral and there had to be a piece that was rewired to something. He said he would call us but I didn't hear anything.

    I called American Home Shield and they said they hadn't heard anything either. I call the company and compliment them on doing such a thorough job. I said, “Please call me back and let me know.” I never ever have talked to them since. When I talked to American Home Shield, I said, “Can we have a three-way call? Because all of a sudden, we’re rejected. And AHS is going to do nothing on the house.” AHS calls the contractor and he denies the call as if I've been harassing him but I've been very nice.

    It's been almost four weeks. Our garage won't open and the outside lights won't come on. We have family coming in so we need them fixed. Then the tech reports something about how our whole house needed to be rewired. He never said that and that's not the case. Now, we're stuck with calling an independent electrician who's making a different report about it. AHS should get much better contractors. When DNZ didn't work out, I told them, "Don't put me with City Electric because I read the reviews. They're all awful.” And they put with City Electric!

    The frustrating part besides getting inconsistent reports and being denied is that I'm a realtor and I work with the local American Home Shield rep, who’s very good. But I write my contract for my buyers who are buying homes and I write in American Home Shield as the provider. But I'm going to have to reevaluate and start talking to some other companies because if this is the kind of service and contractors that come out for American Home Shield, then why should I continue to send my customers to them?

    American Home Shield’s a horrible company. It took them two and a half months to get me a dishwasher. They kept putting it off. I had a really nice dishwasher but they couldn't fix it. It was the top-of-the-line Maytag. They tried to give me a bottom-of-the-line Amana to replace it with after they waited six weeks trying to fix this dishwasher. I fought with them for another several weeks trying to get a half decent dishwasher.

    My last experience was great because it was a simple issue. We had to change the capacitor for the fan that wouldn't come on. I probably could have called somebody out cheaper than my copay to them because it was a simple problem but I didn't know that when I called. But if you have a major problem, American Home Shield is not the company you want to be with. I wouldn’t go with them again.

    AHS is good and the coverage is okay. However, it took us five weeks to get an air conditioner. Freedom Heating and Air was good, too. They just said they couldn't get it. They had to put a new outside unit. Holder's, on the other hand, won’t ever call me back. They didn't do anything they're supposed to do. But I don't think AHS is using them anymore.

    ASAP Plumbing was excellent. They came out for the seating for an antique cold water valve. It had been fixed years back. So, it started leaking again. The man was able to show up to diagnose the problem and to repair it without needing to leave to go get parts even though this was an antique fixture. He knew the type of fixture it was, even though it was unlabeled and unbranded, and was able to fix it within a short period of time.

    As far as American Home Shield, the difficulty we've had in getting through is that the number that I have for them doesn't usually ring through to them. I've had to go on to the website to get the number to reach them. Somewhere, there's a number mismatch for the number that we originally had for them and the number that is on their website.

    Also, I'm not sure what systems we have covered. I want to expand the service but I'm not sure what systems are covered right now. AHS could maybe send an email to let us know what we got because I don't want to make phone calls. I made one phone call because we had a leaking sprinkler system, and I didn't know if that was covered. I called AHS, they dispatched someone, but it was a non-covered thing. I don't want to waste anyone's time or money on a non-covered thing. They could perhaps have an app that would allow us to bring up information that lets us know what's covered just at a glance.

    The only thing that I didn't like with a recent AC claim was the fact that I waited a few days too late to call. The contractor, Southern Comfort, had just come out for the same condition and after 30 days, it broke again. But because I missed that 30-day mark, I had to pay another fee again. Other than that, AHs is on top of things and they send a contractor right out as soon as I call or make a request. I love that about them.

    American Home Shield was very efficient. They kept me informed on when the contractor for my ice maker would be there. When Coastal Appliance came, the service tech was very knowledgeable and quick to diagnose the problem. He said we'd have to order some parts and then they'd come back. He told me when the parts would probably be in. The parts came in three days and they came back right away. Two guys fixed the ice maker and they tested it.

    AHS's claim process is pretty good. But with the refrigerator, we have to fix this and this, and that's all included but the filter is not. It would be helpful to know, “Okay, we're coming out to look at X. And so, if it's a problem with this, that's not generally covered.” But if you ask them upfront, they'll tell you. I asked the tech about pipes outside and they said they don't do that. Even when AHS's monthly rate went up a little bit and I called them and asked why, they explained. So it's a good deal.

    I've had American Home Shield for years, and it's been great. It's saved my bacon many times. I've had things break and it would have cost a lot of money to fix. American Home Shield was there for me, and filing a claim is pretty easy. The only problem I have is sometimes, if I do need to speak to a representative, there's a little bit of a language barrier. They're not native English speakers, so that can be a bit of a challenge. Also, when I do put something online, the system only lets me select one thing. If I have an air conditioning issue and also had an issue with the duct work, I wouldn't be able to pick multiple things that were wrong. I can only pick one thing. So, the ability to choose multiple items for one claim would be helpful.

    I've heard complaints from the service people, too. When they come and look at something and need a part, sometimes they have to get that approved through American Home Shield. They've told me that sometimes, they have trouble getting ahold of someone to do that. It takes a long time and it's a lot of wasted time on their part. To me, AHS is a lifesaver, and that's what I tell everybody. I'm not handy with things so for me, American Home Shield is perfect. Plus, even if I did have the skills, I don't have time to monkey around with it.

    The compressor fan on my refrigerator had stopped working. The refrigerator was still functioning fine. However, the compressor was overheating because there was no fan cooling it. So, there was no warm air coming out of the front of the refrigerator, which should be typical. The side of the refrigerator was heating up, so the machine was working harder than it had to. I called American Home Shield and I got to an agent first. My experience was focused, professional and it was done well.

    Before somebody came out, I was told through American Home Shield that I could do a video diagnosis. When I called the actual contractor to touch base with them before they came out, they didn't appear to have any idea what I was talking about a video diagnosis. That was the only issue though. The service from them was great. The repairman was excellent. The refrigerator is operating as it should now. I get the warm breeze from underneath the refrigerator, so I know the fan’s working again. The side of the refrigerator doesn’t heat up anymore, and it runs a lot less. So, there are definitely some energy savings going on.

    Overall, American Home Shield does what they claim to do. They provide a service and do it well. I see the value in it. Thankfully, nothing major has gone wrong with my home, but the price point of both the work orders that I put in were just about at the break-even point of doing it myself. So, unfortunately, at this time, I've come to the conclusion that I don't need it going forward. But it is awesome to have that peace of mind knowing that when I bought the home, if something becomes a lemon right away, I didn't have that extra expense at that time.

    I have been with American Home Shield for a long time. The benefit is that you really don't have to pay for the repairs. You just pay your deductible and if the claim is covered, they repair it or replace it. I do claims over the phone or the computer. The phone one is faster and that is the best for me. I used the home warranty for my garage door and my garbage disposal. They didn't do so well with the dryer. We bought this house and the dryer went out. I was told they could not pay for that kind of dryer. I replace my appliances but I'm not going to see a benefit if anything should happen to the dryer washer that I have now because they're brand new and they're not cheap either.

    The techs were diligent on their schedule and they tried to minimize work that could have been avoided. They tried to focus on just the work areas at hand and they tried to avoid really making a mess of things. The communication between myself and American Home Shield was good as well. At first, they tried to do things through their automated system and I deterred from trying to do it that way. I wanted to speak with an actual person and eventually I did speak with a person and told him my concern. They were good with getting me set up with a contractor, allowing me to set up an appointment with them and moving forward until the job was completed.

    It was an experience that I didn't want to go through but things happen, and I was glad I have American Home Shield. The service that AHS provides is excellent and I'm looking to recommend them to my sister and to my relatives. Them being homeowners, the warranty is something that’s crucial and important.

    I have an issue with a refrigerator right now. The demand and the supply are lagging because of COVID. One of the problems is why are we paying a warranty if it's taking just as long to get the job done. American Home Shield has a 24-hour call then it takes 10 days. I have a family of five kids and they don't have a refrigerator. The whole purpose of paying insurance is so I don't have to pay property management because I have the home warranty. American Home Shield needs to provide rentals until they get the parts because of the shortage that's going on because of the COVID. We're not getting the service that we need.

    That refrigerator issue aside, I have a tenant that had a plumbing issue and that got repaired promptly. The only thing is anytime you have a plumbing issue, the service fee is 100 which is a little bit pricey. I understand plumbing in general but the issue was just the gasket. I also had another refrigerator part that got repaired promptly as soon as the refrigerator item came in. But again, they had to wait for the parts. Other than that, the service was very good and there was a 24-hour return. The vendors have been awesome. I have no qualms with any of them so far. As soon as they call, I submit the service and within five minutes, I have the vendor. I also have who's gonna come out and I have their contact number so that the tenant feels like, "Okay. She took care of it. Now, I have to deal with the vendor."

    overall, I'm really happy. American Home Shield is saving me a ton of money. I probably had seven calls in the last 18 months. I have two properties and I have them leased. I'm getting ready to buy another property and I requested that they go with American Home Shield because I preferred them on the contract. As long as I have properties, I'm going to keep the home warranty. I appreciate them and I hope they stay in business.

    American Home Shield's process of getting a company out here has been streamlined and it is nice to not have to deal with that. Additionally, they've included the ability to do a remote triage for some things. That would be a lot easier most of the time than trying to schedule with the contractor between three to four-hour windows, which doesn't really work well with a family of seven. Unfortunately, my particular microwave didn't qualify for that remote triage.

    Generally, I've had really good luck with the technicians who came out. The only ones that I have had consistent issues with have been with the HVAC technicians. They are not very responsive and I had a horrible experience with one of them. We had a unit that was worked on several times before and we needed a new one. The technician reported to American Home Shield that our unit wasn't in compliance when it was installed. That had been after five years of work that had already been done on it. It voided our warranty so we ended up having to pay out of pocket. We later found out that what the technician said about not being in compliance isn't required in the State of Texas. That was a $5,000 expenditure that was unnecessary and it was caused by the technician because he wasn't interested in doing the work. Other than that, I recommended American Home Shield on several different occasions to different folks.

    I had a leak and AHS brought out a plumber. But the plumber didn't go through the crawlspace and he put two holes in the wall, one at the base of the floor just above the floorboard, and one behind the shower stall right about where that on/off spigot is. Then, he didn't fix the issue and ended up going back up to the top of the crawlspace to replace the waterline. But he didn't go far enough and the actual leak was farther down that line. So, he had to come back out another day and put another hole on top of the wall right where it meets the ceiling. So, while the plumber was not horrible, he needs to put more attention to detail as far as the leak.

    But American Home Shield was great with getting the subcontractor out and getting the work finished. And now, they got in contact with the drywall folks to bring them out. But there was a little bit of disconnect between the American Home Shield and the plumber about how many holes were actually put on the wall. I was telling American Home Shield that I didn't put any holes in the wall and that that was the plumber looking for a leak when he should have just gone to the top. But all is well now. The fix isn't complete, but I've been pretty pleased so far with the warranty folks.

    Every time I’ve had a problem, American Home Shield has responded. I have two rental properties that I use it for. I shopped around when it was time to renew but American Home Shield seems to be the most cost-effective when it comes to when you shop à la carte or even in their packages. The other companies offer you free time where they're not very clear on what they're covering but American Home Shield is. The only thing is I am able to give the contractor the information on the problem when I contact them but I would rather have a spot on American Home Shield's website that I can fill in myself. Instead, when you submit a claim, they give you a drop-down and you'd have to choose one of the problems.

    We discovered a leak on Sunday morning. We saw that there was some water dripping on to our first floor ceiling. We called American Home Shield as soon as we saw the leak. They sent someone out that day, and he could not figure out where the leak was coming from. He cut into the drywall and removed some insulation. Everything was wet there, so he couldn't initially tell where the leak was coming from. So, he said to give them a call back and they'd come out and fix it once we saw where water was coming from. We put a new request later that day when we saw where it was coming from. I ended up calling in the morning, trying to get them to come out. They said they couldn't be here until Friday.

    This was a real problem because we had an active leak in our home, and we had a bunch of wet drywall on our ceiling. We needed to get the water restoration people in to make sure we can get the mold and not have further damage to the house, and they wouldn't come in until the leak was fixed. So, we needed them to come out sooner. I called them. The plumber said that was the earliest they could come. I called American Home Shield and said, "This needs to get fixed sooner." They kept blowing me off. They would say, "We'll talk to the plumbers and call you back in four hours," and then repeatedly failed to call me back. Eventually, I gave up and called the plumber myself and paid with my own money. At that point, I demanded my money back because they had failed to fix the problem for which we paid a deductible.

    American Home Shield should fulfill their promises. I called them multiple times and was like, "Can you call another plumber? Can you talk to these plumbers? Can you try and get them out sooner?" They said, "We'll do our best and we'll call you back in four hours,” and then no one called. After the first time this happened, I made them promise to call me back. One person even said, "I take my promises very seriously. I'll call you back." Then there was no call. Also, they have to be timely with their repairs. You can't leave a leaking pipe in a house for a week. It's not feasible. It's gonna cause more damage to the home.

    My recent claim with AHS has been addressed fairly well, for the most part. The only bad thing is, I've been with no AC for nine days now. I'm in Texas in the middle of July. I know it's not their fault. I'm almost 50 years old. I take care of my grandma who's on oxygen 24/7. So it's been rough. My issue is I didn't have hot water and I didn't have AC. My house is all electric and my dryer would turn on, but it wouldn't heat up.

    We thought that it was electrical, something to do with the breaker box. Because every time we put on this one breaker, it would trip. I paid for the electrician to come out. He searched and searched. He found some issues. I've only been in this house a year. So he couldn't really figure out why I was sharing breaker. But he said that my power was okay. So I still have an open service with that. He said he was going to need to come back and look in the attic and find out what is all sharing. Because when he went to go do the disconnect for the AC, it kept tripping that breaker. He said, "Everything is fine on this end." I called the AC technician to come out. The AC technician tested the fan and it came on. He tested the capacitor and it was fine. Which they should have been because I just had it replaced with my other home warranty five months ago.

    He tried the compressor, and every time he tried to test it, the breaker would trip. It sounded like it was blocked up, it wouldn't do anything. He told me that my compressor was bad and that I needed a new one. It just stinks that I've been waiting so long. My out of pocket was 655, which I had already known I was going to be paying for the refrigerant. I just think that maybe they could make an exception and make it a little bit faster.

    I had to go buy a $400 portable AC. My grandmother is 91 and I cannot transport her like that. I only have small canisters of oxygen. It just wasn't feasible. I figured if I was going to go stay in a hotel room for $100 a night, I might as well just buy this portable AC. But it's only good for a room. I have two dogs, three cats, and three kids and we're miserable. If they would have offered some type of service like when you order something from Amazon, you could pay three days shipping or next day shipping and that's something I would have probably gone for.

    My parents in Las Vegas use American Home Shield. They live in a house that I grew up in. They've had lots of claims and they've never had any issues. If AHS couldn't fix it, they always replaced it. So, I said, "This is what I need." The last home warranty company that I had, I had to call my own person. Nobody wanted to work with us 'cause we're with a home warranty. I appreciate calling American Home Shield and then sending out somebody that they have a contract with. It was a lot easier to find somebody to come to the house. My overall experience was very good. I just wish that I could have gotten something sooner.

    For my recent claim with AHS, the oven wasn’t heating. The techs needed to replace the heating element. It was fine. They repaired it and it's working great now. I've had issues with the company that American Home Shield has recommended though. They didn't call me. They crossed two of the numbers on my phone number. So they couldn't get ahold of me, which made no sense because I’ve seen the claim go through. But that's what the guy stated. I had to call him a week later and get it all set up. He apologized and he sent somebody out right away.

    Right now, I am dealing with the AC unit having to be repaired, which I'm waiting for somebody to show up today. I'm not too thrilled about this one particular company. It took a long time to get them out and then they didn't provide my phone number to the technician that's going to come out. But American Home Shield has been amazing, especially in comparison to other companies and how I've heard that they handle their business.

    The copay is also very low. Their claim system is amazing online, as well. I know that some of these other companies that people are dealing with don't even have that option. They usually have to call it in. In this case, AHS is pretty good about that. The four by four coverage is amazing too. They cover anything that you needed to be done at your house.

When my sprinkler system comes on and a watering system comes on, you hear a big knocking noise in the house. My landscaper guy said he's done everything he can to prevent it. He went out in the backyard and dug up everything, changed all the valves. When the tech was there, like anything else, it never happens. But I reset my sprinklers for 5:30 in the morning and I can hear a little boom when it first comes on. Then, I do a little irrigation on my deck with my plants and I can hear that noise. I spent 100 bucks but the noise is still there. I need to call and see if they want to send somebody back out to check in again.

    When I call American Home Shield, I get transferred from one person to another person. I also have to go through all this again, my phone number, my email address, my residence address and that's a lot of waste of time. They also increased my price so much that I'm probably not going to renew. The last time I took a look at it, it was 90 bucks and I was paying 50 in the beginning. So that, I'm not happy with. But I'm happy with AHS. I just wish they wouldn't have increased my monthly fee so much.

    All the lights on one side of the home and the outlets on the other side were not working. So, the tech did get them all working. However, the washroom lights and the bedroom lights are still doing the same thing. It takes five minutes, once you turn the light switch up, for them to come on. He said he's going to look into it, and that was the last thing he told me. He didn't say that he was coming back or what the next plan was. Other than that, once something is not working or broken, I like the speediness of getting it repaired or fixed through American Home Shield.

The first time, the contractor had to call in and make sure that American Home Shield would cover it. And they did. So they came back a week later. Because it was a Friday that they came out, so they had to wait until the following Monday or Tuesday. And that was fine.

Occasionally, I get an idiot, but I understand the process. My biggest complaint is, a couple of times, I was trying to explain what my malady was, and they didn't understand what appliance I was talking about. The CSR's understanding about the individual products could be improved. There are so many different things American Home Shield covers so it may be really hard but a little bit more training on individual specifics would probably be good.

    The latest time we requested service with American Home Shield was pretty quick, but there was one that is still pending from a year ago. It was terrible. I put a complaint regarding that. The claim was regarding the washing machine in which American Home Shield sent about four contractors. I don't know what was the issue with these contractors because they were saying that they couldn't fix it. Then they were saying that they are going to replace it. They took maybe a month, and they didn't want to replace it. So I put a complaint, and then they agreed to replace entirely. That request was put in May. Then I got the resolution in July. They agreed to reimburse. The maximum would be between 900 and 1,000. So now, I need to get a washing machine and go through the process of reimbursement.

    With the recent claim, everything went smooth because I already had the same issue. It was our water heater. We already knew which company should we use because they were the ones who installed it last year. I didn't go through any hassle. American Home Shield contacted the same company. This company, JED Plumbing and Gas, came right away. The water heater works now.

    I didn't have hot water so I called American Home Shield and then they got somebody out there the day after that. The guy replaced the whole mechanism that’s associated with the pilot and lit it. He told me I’d have hot water in 30 minutes or so. I had hot water for a short while. But then, I called back to tell the contractor that I no longer had hot water. He came out again and lit the pilot. He told me everything was fine. But I had hot water for a short time again and I called back the contractor. They sent out a different guy. He looked at everything and said it looked fine. He said it would probably need to be flushed out, which was the first time anybody has mentioned anything about that. He lit the pilot and also upped the temperature because the other guy had the temperature on the lowest setting. After that, I have hot water and then I called somebody else out there and got it flushed out. I have hot water now.

    The first guy that came out twice said that American Home Shield would not replace the water heater unless I had a leak. He advised me to get a leak detector, and then the second guy told me where to place it. So I went to Lowe's and bought a leak detector. The second guy also showed me how to turn the water off if this alarm goes off very quickly. He seemed to have more knowledge of what our water heater really does and doesn't do, and what you’re supposed to do and don't do. He seemed to have expertise and helped me out more. Throughout the process, contacting the contractor on the phone was not that easy. The first guy told me to call them directly and I was trying to do that but they wouldn’t answer. I couldn’t get ahold of him. It was a mess. Also, I had to pay for the flushing and the leak detector.

    My claims through American Home Shield are horrible. My AC wasn't working, and they sent this company out, Summer Breeze. That was not a good experience. They came out and they said that we needed a coil. What they were telling me really wasn't correct. They were saying to replace a part. But if I replace that part, it wouldn't match the unit and it could cause some issues. So, I ended up not using them. I had to pay for someone to get it fixed outside of them. I was going to put it in a claim and to have them do a cash out. I just haven't gotten around to do it yet. The AC was just fixed like two weeks ago, but they really didn't give me much. I couldn't go straight with them because they were not willing to fix the AC. So, I lost out on that.

    I feel like sometimes the companies that they contract are not the best ones. I found that one of the companies I had before was not a good and reputable company. When I did some research on them, they had horrible reviews. They could make sure they're using reputable contractors. Also, they should make it clear what would be covered. When my AC was broken, they were telling me that they don't fix that, they'll only do the parts, and it wasn't clear to me. So ultimately, they didn't really do me any favors. I couldn't use them.

    Recently, my stove's fuse blew in the circuit breaker. So, American Home Shield sent someone out. Originally, my microwave was not working as well. They sent someone out. He couldn't fix it. So, they had to send someone else out to fix the circuit breaker. He came out and did it. I pay $75 when somebody comes out. That's not awful because it could be more awful using someone else. I've had varying responses from different people. It's kind of hit or miss.

I'm not happy with the air conditioning people that they chose.

    Then, when the guy came out, he said, "That's a bad breaker." It really wasn't a bad breaker at all. It turned out, it was this wire that was underneath the house that the electrician found. I was so frustrated. What it was is a critter had gotten under the house, had chewed the insulation off of the wire, and the condensation from the air conditioner was dripping on that wire, shorting it out. So, that was why it kept blowing the breakers and why had no AC. And within five minutes after the electrician was here, he had that figured out. But the AC man was here five minutes, and said, "You need to go buy a new breaker" after eight days of no AC.

    As far as the American Home Shield, themselves, I love them. I recommend them. I was a customer of theirs years ago, which is why I went ahead and bought the policy again. However, my policy went up and I was never informed that it was going up in cost. I just know that I've always had it on auto pay for $60, and I've paid that amount forever. Then, all of a sudden, I went to check the bank account to make sure that I have enough money in, checking off bills that are coming through, and I saw $75 instead of 60. So, I called them and they said, "Didn't you get the email?" I said, "I would not be calling you if I got it." It's not that I didn't get the email but it did not catch my eye that it was an increase in payments. I told him that what they should have done was sent out a quote, a paper notification along with the email in that case.

    We had water behind the washing machine but it wasn't from the washing machine. When I called American Home Shield, I thought it was an issue with the hot water heater and that was what I said. I thought that because the water was extending from where the water heater is in the garage all the way to the opposite wall where the AC behind the washing machine is. I saw some condensation too. It was inside the unit but I couldn't get to the very back to see where it was coming from or what it was.

    When the hot water heater guy got here, he said that the problem was the AC. I called American Home Shield back and they said to call another guy. I did that last Thursday and he came on Friday. He replaced some kind of tubing and he said we should consider replacing the machine. It's running at a much lower efficiency at maybe 40%. He was professional and he did the job. He was very gracious because he wasn't telling me anything I didn't know. He said he could make the unit work, which he did because it's cooling the house now.

    Other contractors told me that our AC unit has been patch-worked by all sorts of different parts by all sorts of different techs that have come out through American Home Shield. It's been totally rebuilt. I wish that American Home Shield would be willing to help us invest in a new machine because this is ridiculous. We called them out in May and asked for a service update before the heat came. Initially, they said we would have to find somebody on our own but they must have thought about it because we got a notice that said American Home Shield will pay for servicing of our unit. We got the unit serviced through their recommendation. We were told we should be fine but we weren't.

    I appreciate the service of American Home Shield and being able to address various needs. But I need them to step up. We've been customers for a long time. It's disappointing that I'm on my own in terms of trying to get this done because my home warranty is not really being of service. It's more of just putting a band-aid on the problem until it can't be done so anymore. In Arizona, the AC issues that people like ourselves could have really need to be specialized for this part of the country because we deal with extreme heat. We're dealing with realities that go beyond the home warranty company. But if they could help us make it better, then there would be more customer loyalty to the company. If there are discounts to get a new unit or if there is some kind of incentive to get a new unit on the part of American Home Shield, I would be interested.

    My clothes weren't ringing out. A tech was sent out and I saw that when he turned it on, it was out of balance. On the machine, he showed me how you have to lift it up and off the floor in the back. He got it back in balance. He also fixed my soap dispenser. He was really good and professional. I would recommend Fixon Appliance. I would ask for him again. I submitted my claim to American Home Shield by telephone, and that was easy. I was given who was coming out and their phone number. I was also told that if they didn't call me, I had to call them back.

    The only complaint I have about AHS is that when they raise my monthly fee, they don't tell me. So, I go about deducting the same amount, and then all of a sudden, my checkbook's messed up. It happened once before and when I did call, I had the automated thing and it was telling me, "Well, this contract is null and void." I was like, "Wait a minute, I just made a payment." So, I pressed the buttons to get a live person and she said it expires next month. I said, "So was somebody going to raise it again? Is anybody going to tell me what's going to happen?" She said I'd have to call sales. That didn't make me happy. I think they should be contacting me and telling me, "Hey, we need to raise the rates or whatever." Other than that, it's great to have something covered because I've had my air conditioner, dryer and a faucet fixed.

    I love Appliance Mavericks. They were fabulous. I will be grateful to have them come back and do work at my house. They did my installation wonderfully. They were super clean, put down the mats where they were working and did not a scratch on anything. I wanted to get them for this most recent service call with All Pro. They are horrible compared to Mavericks. When Mavericks was at my house, they said they could do the issue too but couldn't do it that day. They said they were booked up.

    When I called American Home Shield they wouldn't drop All Pro, who has very poor communications with me. They came to my house and diagnosed the problem on my freezer and refrigerator. However, there was a part I found on the floor. It came off of my freezer drawer. I sent a picture to them but they never replied to me. They were also supposed to come last Wednesday but didn't. They said they had me down for Thursday but I couldn't take another day off work. They were able to reschedule it for Friday but when I tried to get them to confirm it on text messages, they just would say between 11:00 to 3:00. It was very frustrating.

    They came Friday and I was expecting some kind of reply from American Home Shield, which I got very quickly with another situation that was for my dishwasher. The guys that did my dishwasher sent the request in and they had the answer for me before they left. American Home Shield was covering my entire dishwasher to be replaced 'cause it was that bad. The process with the dishwasher was amazing. I never thought I was going to get anything covered under the warranty. I'm very pleased that American Home Shield handled it. But with All Pro, they didn't submit the request right away to American Home Shield. I am waiting still to hear from American Home Shield and I know All Pro didn't include this other part that I found on the ground.

    Sometimes when you're calling American Home Shield's regular customer service, you can tell they're from another country. They still are very professional but I always wonder if they're understanding what I'm saying. Also, there are little tricky things in the language that's not stated in the contract clearly. I got a plumbing service call. I did it online and chose faucet. I didn't see anything saying anywhere in my contract that a faucet outside of your house is called a spigot and it's not covered. I had a plumber come out and paid $100. I also ordered an electrician to come out thinking the claim would be covered. The electrician was kind enough to explain to me, "They're not going to cover your circuit board at all. They're only going to cover an outlet." I have a ceiling fan with a problem and they're not going to cover that too. I went and looked at all these things and found that those were more detailed but it didn't detail the electrical very well.

    Our AC leaked and the A coil was bad, so the AC company had to replace the A coil and then recharge the system. They offered to do it on Wednesday, but for us, it was better to wait and we wound up having it done Friday. They got the job done, and American Home Shield paid their part of the A coil replacement in the air conditioner. Unfortunately, I had to pay 1,000 bucks for the Freon.

    I've had different houses, and we've had American Home Shield for a long time now. Our monthly payment is now a lot more than it used to be, but we've gotten our money's worth out of it. They've replaced Freon, A coils, and a motor in the condenser outside on this house. On another house, they replaced the sump pump.

    My microwave wouldn't turn on and my washing machine would wash, but when it got to the spin cycle, it would just shut off. The repair company came out and repaired both units. For the washing machine, they got the code and said it was the suspensions. Now, the microwave works, but I had to leave and I haven't had a chance to run the washing machine through an entire cycle. Apart from that, the repairman was excellent. He explained what he was doing, what was going on, and he was very professional.

    What I look for is consistency and timeliness, when someone makes a report and puts it in. With my old home warranty, the first repairman came out, looked at my dishwasher and said, "Oh, well," and then he ordered a part. Someone different came out to replace the board and said that the first repairman ordered the wrong part. A third person came out and said, "Oh, we don't think it can be repaired. We're going to meet you halfway." I paid almost $1,000 for my dishwasher, and that person said that. It was supposed to have been repair or replace. Come to find out, the man across the street from me who's not a repair person came over and fixed my dishwasher.

    I got rid of my old home warranty, and I am satisfied with American Home Shield. I didn't have any trouble getting in touch with them or getting the request assigned. One of the positive things based on my experience was the camera that they had me hook into, where they could get all the information off the device before they came. They ordered in the parts and it was so much easier because they didn't have to come out, look at it and get the model number. They already had that.

    The contractors have been okay for the most part. But one of them dragged their feet forever to submit the claim with me and American Home shield calling them multiple times. There was a point where I was thinking, "This is just pointless. Let me just cancel this and move on and figure something else out." But eventually, it did get resolved. I wound up hiring somebody else to do the job. And I still have to submit that claim to American Home Shield to get reimbursed.

    We've only had this warranty for about a year and usually, the claim submission process is okay. It's just the finalization that can take time. I have some frustrations with American Home Shield's ability to expedite or resolve an issue in a reasonable time frame. Over the 48-hour window that they say they need to arrive at a decision, I can wind up having to call American Home Shield multiple times.

    I had a water heater that needed to be replaced and they told me they were only going to pay a certain amount. But if you looked at the average cost of a water heater and replacing a water heater, it was well above the amount they gave. There was no way for me to challenge their decision or give them a couple of estimates in the local community and say that they should match those.

I've got three people, then seven of my relatives, and I've had three other neighborly people that I've referred to them. There was a plumbing issue where my sister is. The maintenance guy said that there was a leak with the cartridge and it was coming down to someone's apartment below. Apparently, the guy's ceiling on the third floor was messed up from a leak from my sister's plumbing. When the guy from the American Home Shield came out, he checked the cartridge and he checked everything. We thought that it was going to be just a matter of changing the cartridge. He said that American Home Shield doesn't go into anybody else's apartment to see where a leak is coming from, so he was limited to what he was able to do.

    There were certain vendors that the cousins had had some experience with that weren't good. And so, if they tried to get one of my relatives to go with that vendor, they should actually listen. Like for plumbing, there were vendors that came out and didn't do anything as they didn't see any leak even though the cousins were telling them that there was. I didn't like that. I told my cousin to call American Home Shield because when they'd do things like that, they'd still bill the company as if they've done something and that's not true.

They said AHS is not going to cover the cost of getting the washer fixed because there's a foreign object in the drain. But the guy did not open up the washer at all.

    I called the technician and he said the foreign object that may be blocking the drain pump may be a part of the drain pump itself. There is absolutely no reason that AHS should not be covering the repair. AHS said they would send out a second opinion. If the new tech finds the same thing wrong, then I would have to pay another $75 service fee. There’s no guarantee that I have to pay the service fee, but there’s a guarantee that my time will be wasted. It seems like my time and my money are not being valued. I just installed a new drain pump on this washing machine and I got it for $30 off of Amazon. There were no foreign objects in there. I don't want to renew my home warranty with AHS.

The tech that came out for the AC was really good. The capacitor went out and he knocked it out pretty quick and then took off. I also put in a claim for ductwork. AHS set me up. They took the deductible and then they contacted the contractor.

    The first contractor didn't answer the phone. I called for a few days in a row but it went to voicemail. I told AHS I needed a different guy. They set me up with a different contractor. Then that contractor said they didn't take American Home Shield claims at the time because they were so backed up. The third contractor put me in a queue. So for easy fixes, my experience with AHS was nice. But trying to get somebody set up for that ductwork call was kind of a letdown.

    We had an issue with the garage door. If we push the button, it would not respond immediately so we had to put half the weight of our body against the button for it to start coming up. I used American Home Shield's website to make a claim and it was a very seamless process. The website told me the name of the company and the contact number. Outside of that, I got a text message from the home warranty company stating that my ticket had been assigned to that contractor. That contractor called me in less than an hour and said, “I'll be in the area. I received your ticket from your home warranty people.” It was very quick.

    The person who came gave very good service. He was very polite and professional. I showed him where the garage was and pointed out what the issue was. I then allowed him to work. Once he got done, he came back and explained to me the short-term resolution he could offer. He installed a button that was almost doorbell-looking right next to the actual switch. That allowed the garage door to come up more easily. He told me that the lifespan of the garage door is coming to an end. He showed me where the garage door was bent which was causing it to slowly come up. He told me that I may want to start looking at replacing it. For that type of garage door, it would be around $1,500.

    On the whole, the initial welcoming was a little shaky but I got the right person on the phone that resolved things. As far as putting in the tickets, that has been very user-friendly on my end and very straightforward. The reason I went with American Home Shield was because two of my good friends also have had the home warranty for the past five years. They said American Home Shield was reliable.

    The AC stopped working. It's the same unit that the contractor came out the first time for. But within a month, it broke again. The tech replaced the compressor the first time and it still did not work. So he came back out and fixed the fan unit itself. He said he had to put in a claim with AHS to say it stopped working again. But the AC is fine now. The tech was good.

    I love AHS. I've been with them since the 90s. The big thing is that they're not hassling about getting repairs. I don't want to have to justify and have to go through so many hoops to try to get somebody out to fix my stuff. I've never had any problems with AHS. I call the claim in, then they send out somebody, and it gets fixed. With the AC claim this time, we didn't have to pay the copay because it was within 30 days. So the same technician came out and fixed it again. I like the ease of it. Some people don't like to pay for the benefit of having the warranty with AHS, but I tell them it pays for itself.

The garage door opener guy said he couldn't do the repair but if I paid him extra, he would go ahead and put it back on track. It's happening too much.

    Everything was automated when I submitted a claim with AHS. I didn't like the fact that I couldn't speak to somebody about scheduling. They just said, “A technician will be assigned, and they'll be contacting you for an appointment.” We were gonna have to go out of town for a couple of days. I ended up writing down the information of who the vendor was because it said who would be doing it with a phone number. I ended up getting up really early, calling them the next business day and said, “We need an appointment in three days, not today or tomorrow.” If I'd been in town, that would have been great about how responsive, to get something really soon, but it didn't give me an option for like, “Do you have a day that you want them to come?” It just auto-assigned you.

    Also, I find it pricey that every time I call, I pay a service call. For our garage door, we paid the garage door company to come to fix it, and literally two days later, it didn't work. Then we already paid those guys $249 to supposedly fix the issue. I forgot we had AHS. So I called the AHS rep and had to pay $79. Luckily, the tech was able to fix it. But every time, if it breaks down again, I’ll have to pay another. I just find that that adds up a lot. There shouldn’t be such a high fee or should be included as part of the policy.

    The contractor took care of the leak. They came quick and they were good. However, I feel like American Home Shield tries to get out of more claims than they want to pay us. This particular one was covered. They didn't have anywhere to go. But in general, I'm not crazy about the pricing of the AHS considering they don't pay for much. I'm probably not going with it next year because I found a company that's a lot cheaper. My mom uses them and she said that they pay a lot more claims. I've read their contract and it does cover a lot more.

    People should read the contract and just know what they're willing to cover, if it's even worth it. You have to do the math. So, you got to pay $75 fee for every visit, and then you got to pay about 900 a year, in my case, for my pool and my house. So, what's your break-even point if you have a claim? Because it sounds like you're always going to be in the negative. And when they don't want to pay anything over a couple of $100, you're not really benefiting. I'm better off either not buying a warranty or buying one that's half the price that covers more.

    Our house is vacant now because of all the damage due to the storm so we thought we’d have everything else checked that wasn't affected. We knew that one air conditioner probably had a leak. It was the tech's attitude. He lied about the filters not being in place. They were sucked up further where he couldn't see them but they were there. Whoever called me from American Home Shield said, “You didn't have your filters in place.” But that has absolutely nothing to do with Freon or a leak.

    I didn't like the fact that he lied. I'm not used to people lying about something so silly. He finally settled down. At first, he was rude, just expecting that we wanted something for nothing. But we knew we had a problem. And now, of course, we do have a problem. The air conditioner is out in the bedroom. So I was irritated. The feeling I got was that they're gonna do anything not to get me an air conditioner if I neede one. My unit is fixable but Freon is extremely expensive and to put Freon into a 20-year-old machine makes no sense whatsoever. It’s money down the drain and the tech didn't even mention fixing the leak.

    I'm looking at other companies now because I'm at a loss. I have the insurance in case something goes majorly wrong. I wanted to be covered because we've had enough expenses with the storm as it is. The garage door people were phenomenal and fantastic people. Overall, I like the way AHS responds. They’ve always followed through and up to this point they were good. This last AC tech was supposed to be representing American Home Shield but he's not AHS. I do not wanna query a whole company based on one person that was a liar.

    American Home Shield has improved the phone call. It used to be complicated and it was hard to get to them. If you got something broken here and you mention it, the computer handles it. So, it's a lot better than it used to be. The last claim I had was for a garbage disposal. I had it before and there's a tool you use to work it under the bottom. The tech came here and all he had to do was crank it a couple of times and walk off. It worked fine. That one was my mistake. The plumbing company that comes here, Truss, do a very good job. I used them before a long time ago. They do excellent work.

    This house is probably a little over 35 years old so, you're gonna have things constantly wearing out. AHS works good. It covers a lot of stuff and a lot of little stuff that goes wrong. So, that has been a big advantage to us. They keep increasing the price per month though. You're paying $87 a month and you're paying $75 for the work they're doing. So, you got to figure out somewhere in there where there's a happy medium. But we’ll continue to use AHS. Right now, we're satisfied with it.

    Ark-La-Flow Plumbing did a good job but when you're waiting on them to call, you're limited on what else you can do. After they found the problem, got it approved and called back to schedule when they were going to make the repair, they gave me an eight-hour window from 8:00am to 4:00pm. The issue was in a rental property and I like to be around or check on it after they're done. So, that's all day and you're tied to your house. You can't get out and do very much because they can call you at any time. So, the appointment time needs to be more direct. They're busy and sometimes they don't know how long the job they're on will last. But anything greater than two to three hours is too long of a window. Also, I have an issue on what was covered. I had bad plumbing problems into the foundation and it was only so much that AHS was gonna pay. It was going to make it expensive for me.

    In the long run, American Home Shield is costly if you’re not using it often. The yearly amount can add up and not only am I paying the monthly fee, but there’s also another fee on top of that when I use it. So, it would be better if we paid the monthly fee because we're paying anyway although I don't see why I have to pay the co-pay too. But as far as the service, it has been okay.

    Recently, I had a problem with the attic fan and the techs replaced it. The only problem I've ever had with American Home Shield is with an air conditioner and that's because instead of replacing it, they just kept replacing parts over and over again. Patching is not often the solution to something, and that seemed to be what they wanted to do. All the patching probably could have paid for another air conditioner.

The pipe wasn't draining because of that food item. So he got that key out and did a little wiggle and got the clogged thing unstuck, and it was perfect. He was done in two minutes.

    I like the quick service with American Home Shield. The tech came out once we got scheduled and did his thing. He was knowledgeable. He knew what the issue was just by taking a quick look at the garbage disposal. The cool thing about it was that he gave me a key for free. He also showed me what to do in the future if the issue happens again.

For American Home Shield, this is the first positive interaction I've had with them since I've used them. I would recommend using A-US Air for sure.

    I've had air conditioner problems, appliance problems and water well problem, and American Home Shield pretty much every time has come through. Their claims process is good. I've never had to request reimbursement. I usually go through their service provider. I do sometimes don't like the amount of time it takes for their vendors to respond, but majority of the time, it has been good.

    When there was something with the water well, I was told it was not covered. I called the person out to fix it and he works through AHS. He knew it was, and it should have been covered. It just took a lot of time for them to respond. I finally just gave up on that one, and I didn't get reimbursed for the service that I had paid for directly. But luckily, I got the person out here to fix it that usually comes when they put a call out, and he knew it was something that should have been covered, and I was given incorrect information.

    I do like that they have covered things in the past, and made it easy. One time I had an electric range that went out, and it was fast. As far as anything else to improve, when you do call them, sometimes their hold times are really long. They tell you you can go online but after working all day on a computer, sometimes I just don't want to do my personal stuff online. It's the last thing I want to do when I get home.

    The AC quit cooling. The tech replaced something on the outside unit that went out the first time he came out here. He came out again because it felt like the AC was still running hot to me, but he said that it did not. Plus, he couldn’t find any problems the second time he came out. So for two days, it was 71 degrees on the AC, it was 73 degrees outside, and it was 77 inside. And this was in the morning time. But the AC has been running fine now. One time, I put in another claim with AHS and it took five days for the techs to come out. And that was the time that I didn't know a capacitor went out and it had to be replaced.

    I haven't gotten a callback or email from American Home Shield. I had a company come out and check my air conditioning unit, and I have a two-year old, a four-year old, five children in here and nothing's fixed yet. My husband and I have been with American Home Shield for almost three years now, and it just so happened our air conditioning went out right around that time. We gave them a call, and they sent a company out, which we were very pleased with. Ayers Service came out. All we needed was some Freon replaced in our air conditioning unit, and that was what they did, and everything was working fine. Then, the next summer, apparently, we were needing more Freon. We were like, "We just did this last summer. That doesn't make any sense."

    A company came out at that time and they replaced the Freon once more. They put the Freon in, but after a couple of days, it stopped working. Then, I called the company back and I said, "You guys came, did a service, but five days later, it's not working." They came back out and realized that, once they put the Freon in, something was wrong with the compressor. They had to get a new compressor. When they replaced the new compressor, they had to put more Freon in. At this time, I was a little annoyed. The guy who came out stated that my house is huge as far as the square footage and so the unit that I currently have is not capable of taking care of both floors the way it is. It's struggling, was what the guy said.

    He did something to it to allow it to work as though it's the only air conditioning, one unit versus two units, which I have two controls, one in my master bedroom and one downstairs in my living room. He did some alteration, so that one area is controlling the air conditioning throughout the whole house. I said, "Okay, whatever makes it work." I don't know much about air conditioning and so I'm trusting them that they're doing their best to make it work. But then, it stopped working again.

    He came back out, and then, they gave us another quote stating that we needed to replace some other parts of the air conditioning unit. I wasn't comfortable with that. I said, "I've called you guys out at least four times to my home to fix it and whoever had come prior to, didn't put the compressor on correctly and so it burned out, and they had to replace another compressor." It was a lot of drama with that last company. After all of the drama, I said to AHS, "I personally believe that you guys need to replace my air conditioning unit." Because with all these different people they've sent out to do patch-up work, it sounded like it was a bigger issue than what was being addressed.

    Then, a week ago, my air conditioning went out again, and they were back. This time, I said to American Home Shield personnel, "I don't want you sending somebody that is going to rig up something to make it work temporarily, and then I have to call again for this service to happen, for us to get some air conditioning." She told me and promised me she would give me someone with three stars or more. I said, "Why wasn't I getting someone with three stars or more to begin with?"

    I got another company, the same company that came initially to address the issue. According to the gentleman, he thought that we need to replace the unit is what I was under the impression. I said, "I said this last year, but nobody was listening and here we are again." I was the only one with my family that's suffering, everybody else is living in their air-conditioned home, while we're here with 10 fans in our house trying to keep cool. It was very annoying. I told the lady a week ago I'm just going to cancel AHS because there's no point in me and my husband paying $50 a month to have this type of service, and then still not get the service that we deserve or that we're paying for. It's not right.

    When I called last week and I was trying to get the service and see what I can do, their automated service was asking, "Press one for service, press this for that." I pressed the one, and then they automatically charged my card $100 for the service. I talked to the lady, "I did not want service, I was calling to speak to you guys in regard to the situation that we're having again, and I'm ready to cancel."

    She said, "Ma'am, don't cancel, I'm going to send somebody." She was very nice in regard to trying to work with me. She said, "I'm going to send someone complimentary of service to come and give you this service and see what's going on with your air conditioning." But the company still charged me $100 for the service. So, I called AHS back and told them I was being charged even though the lady promised me that it would be complimentary. She tried to reach out to the other lady who stated that it would be complimentary because her name was on the account and I never got a response back. But nobody called me back, it was still charged on my card.

    I had someone that came out initially and did not repair it. The one that did the repair, I was very happy with their service. Very professional. Kept me in the loop as far as the time they were coming and the parts that they will use. However, I had an issue with the air condition. The contractor came out, but they couldn't fix it. They didn't want to replace the air conditioning unit. And it was just something as simple as cleaning out the outside of the air conditioning unit, cleaning it out and added some Freon. They didn't even try to attempt to put any Freon in or anything. So, I called somebody local. They came out and were able to get the job done immediately, then AHS reimbursed me.

    This is the second time that I received the reimbursement. I had a water heater issue months back, right around Christmas, with the issue that they could not find the part. The water heater that they said was discontinued, they couldn't find a part. I went online and got the part within an hour. So AHS reimbursed me for the money that I spent on that. But some of the stuff, they look for somebody, if something goes wrong, to go and purchase a water heater or air conditioning unit when it's not that major. Not too many people right now got $4,000 to put towards the air conditioning unit. But they didn't do their due diligence as far as the air conditioning unit.

    Just like this last situation, I ended up having to pay my service fee for a second time. Because the first time they came out for the garbage disposal, there was an issue where the part was not physically located. The contractors had taken the garbage disposal loose and it was on the counter. So they said that they could not determine what was wrong with it because it wasn't hooked up. So they left and I had paid the service fee. And then because they closed it out, I had to go ahead and pay an additional $80. But the contractors that AHS use are looking to get paid, which I understand. But something as minor as adding Freon should not be a deterrent from AHS saying, “Oh, well, the whole system needs to be replaced.”

    You may need a mediator person sometimes to go between the vendor and customer service. Because sometimes, everybody's reading from a script and you can tell that they're not real knowledgeable about some of the topics. I've had three properties with AHS over the same period of time. Now, I only have two. And my rates have gone up $5 or $6. But what am I getting? There are other warranty companies out there that I hear about. People are like, “If you're not happy with AHS, you may want to try this one.” So I still will maintain AHS on my properties until further notice.

    The clothes dryer was not getting hot and when the gentleman came out, he took it apart. He told us that it was a heating element and the thermostat. He said he had to order the parts to find out if the dryer would be replaced. About a week went by and I called them to find out when they were coming back to fix the clothes dryer. The woman said they had just ordered the part. So, we scheduled a time at that point to have the technician come out and fix it, which he did.

    The tech was very courteous and attentive. My only issue is, when you turn the dryer to the correct dial and setting for 60 minutes, I can't use that. So I have to use the auto and then I have to run it a couple of times, but I'm good with that. I don't even care at this point. If there is a part that needs to be ordered, somebody either needs to reach out via email or text message to let the customer client know that there's a delay in the repair instead of me having to pick up the phone and calling. If I had let it go two weeks, it would have gone two weeks. A week was way too long with nobody getting in touch with me. Still, I would recommend American Home Shield. I've used them in the past to make a claim and they have always been attentive and fast. This was the first time that the company or the vendor was not fast in getting back to me.

    Our thermostat was completely shutting off for some reason. It was randomly turning back on. The contractor came out and they replaced all different kinds of things. They put in a new thermostat and it went back on track. My house is finally cold again. The contractor was professional and they were early, which I appreciated. They fixed the thermostat quickly. So they were really good. American Home Shield is affordable and I always get service within one business day, which is so awesome. Also, their website is easy to access and I like it. I submitted the claim for the thermostat at 11:00 and the contractor was there at 12:30, which is crazy. I had air by 1:30. I love American Home Shield. It's so easy to work with them and they're very punctual and professional. They always get the job finished in a timely manner. I don't have to go days without getting service.

    I usually go online to file a claim but now, I'm going to be preferring to do it over the phone. I was a little dissatisfied with the last company that was sent out. I’ve used AHS' service about five times now and I just had that one bad experience. Calling through the phone and speaking to one of the representatives, they were able to switch me back to one that I was already comfortable with. The service was quick and thorough today.

    We recently had a claim for the dryer and the serviceman that came out looked at it and ordered parts. The parts were on backorder, so it took four or five days to get them, but that was okay. He came back and fixed the dryer. We also had a claim on the pool and AHS was responsive as well. Having AHS, we are able to get things repaired that need repairing in a decent amount of time at a pretty decent cost.

    We had a cold and hot water dispenser that needed to be repaired, and three different efforts were taken. Initially, a plumber came out then, they thought it was an electrical issue, so an electrician was sent out. After that, the plumber was sent back out, then it was fixed. The techs were all great, but they could have just diagnosed it initially without getting a electrician to come up.

    American Home Shield was quick on getting someone out and I appreciate that. When I'd turn the water on, it would come up through the actual spigot around the base rather than out where it's supposed to come. A plumber was scheduled to come at 4:00 and he called earlier that he was free and could he come on out, which was super fine with me. He came out, figured out what he needed, went to Lowe's, and got the part. He came back and repaired it.

    Getting a little bit more explanation on things would be good. When the plumber was telling me what might happen, that he might have to replace the whole faucet, he said that American Home Shield would not replace it. Either they would go ahead and order it and it could take a week to two weeks to get it, or I could go ahead and buy it then he could come out and replace it for me for a $50 charge. Or if I let his company go ahead and order it, then it could take a week to two weeks to get it in.

    My understanding was that if they couldn't fix it, American Home Shield would pay for it. They just replace it if it could not be repaired. But according to the way I understood him, if it couldn't be repaired, then the plumbing company would work with American Home Shield and get reimbursed. My brother-in-law's sister had had American Home Shield for 20 years, and as far as I know, everything that they've had to have repaired that couldn't be repaired was replaced. That was why I got American Home Shield.

    I also don't like the automated system. The voice that answers the phone and get you through all the different things is so irritating. Additionally, I'm paying $70 a month and they automatically charged my Visa $100 before the rep even said she'd get somebody out. I know they have to get their pieces of pie, but it seemed a little bit presumptuous that they would automatically pay my charge. I would rather have written a check and given it to the plumber 'cause I don't necessarily want it on my charge card. There should be an option for that. They may feel that it's more convenient for me and for them to go ahead and charge it but that was a little bit unpleasant. I can understand why they're doing it though.

    Something came loose and my dryer was making noise. The tension arm was broken. I put a claim online and that was okay. I usually call but it was late at night. It was easier to do the online option at night than to call at that time. An hour later, I was informed that so and so was gonna be my person. Someone from HCK place came over. He was professional and on time. HCK let me know their guy was on his way so I could be prepared. The tech took my dryer apart, and saw what the problem was. He needed to get a part so he went to his local vendor that was close by and got it there. He came back, fixed the dryer then left. The dryer is much better now and it doesn't make a lot of noise where that it's broken.

    For some reason, water would not actually pump through the line to come out of the water dispenser. And it also wouldn't allow any ice to be made. My wife thought the tech was very professional, courteous, and worked very quickly. It was actually a great experience, and I will highly recommend American Home Shield to anybody. The benefit would be the security that even if AHS may not approve every claim, but some of these larger ones could be very expensive. The benefit of possibly having that kind of support there.

    Our air conditioning was not cooling properly. It was getting up on hot days up to 80 degrees in the house, and I suspected the coolant was low, so I put the call into American Home Shield. The AC guy came in, checked out the unit, and said, "Everything's working correctly. It might be that the coils are filthy," which they were. He cleaned the coils and the system is working better. I was happy with it, but I'd be happier if I hadn't had to pay for the cleaning. I would like American Home Shield to pay for things like that.

    When I called American Home Shield and told them I had a problem, they took my information and said they’d take care of it. It was exceptional. The techs texted me that they were coming. They called before they came. I thought it was ice was building up on the bottom of the freezer and there was also a problem with the thing that dispenses the ice. The tech said, "Okay. I know just what this is." He ordered the part, came back, replaced the part and cleaned up the bottom of the freezer. He did a fine job. He worked rather efficiently and left the place clean. The tech was very professional, decisive and didn't mess around.

    Reported crack in toilet tank Monday evening. Tech assigned and arrived Tuesday morning, to photograph tank and left, saying it could take 24-48 hours to get approval. 24 hours no response. Called AHS and they couldn't give me a status. Called 48 hours and was told they wouldn't cover repair as it was not "normal wear and tear." I disputed this as the crack begins from the hole where the flush handle extends. A common area of interaction with toilets. They disagreed and said there was nothing they could do about it. I was resigned to finding another source for repair and asked for a refund for the service call as none was provided. It was refused. Suspiciously, the denial of service was made after payment cleared.

    I've had American Home Shield for almost 20 years and my biggest worry is always AC issues. I live in Arizona and it's 115, 120 degrees. When we call American Home Shield and say we need to open a claim to get an AC issue repaired, they say the service provider has 24 hours to contact us. Sometimes, they can’t come out in four days. When it's 115 degrees outside, that's impossible. It becomes a health risk for people who live here.

    Sometimes, American Home Shield says that they have to give the claim to the next person in line but if you've had good experiences with a specific provider, you should be allowed to choose that provider. In Arizona, not all AC companies are trustworthy. There are some that gouge. We know that there are some companies that are contracted with American Home Shield that can come out much sooner and that are very trustworthy. Those are the ones I prefer to go with. To be told no, I have to wait for somebody who's not as trustworthy and who’s not going to come out for seven days is not in the best of interest of customers. I don't mind calling the people on American Home Shield's list to see if there's anybody that has a sooner appointment but they won't give me the list and they don't have the list either.

    Other than those, my experience has been great. On my recent claim, originally, the provider said that they would be coming the following day. I did ask, “If you happen to have anything come open earlier, you're welcome to come earlier. I'd like to get this remedied as soon as possible.” They came a whole day earlier and I appreciate that. They were efficient and prompt.

    The initial problem was, the water wasn't getting warm. It was either hot or cold. The American Home Shield rep told me who the contractor was, and then I spoke with them. They were professional about everything. They put the valve in. After that, that was when I had the leak. Water was coming through my ceiling. It leaked within a 12-hour period. It was slow but steady. The tech was knowledgeable about what he did. He went up there and pounded it. When he did the valve, it didn't leak right away. He came back and said he fixed it. However, AHS should cut that $100 deductible down. Save people some money. Other than that, everything was all right with me. As long as they fix my ceiling, I'm fine, because everything else they responded well and took care of it. I called for my garbage disposal also on that. The contractor came and replaced the garbage disposal. Everything was fine with that.

    I've been having issues with my air conditioner and American Home Shield sent a technician out. The guy spent about 30 minutes at the house and said that my evaporator unit in the attic needs to be replaced as it's leaking. A week went by after he came and I called American Home Shield and asked when they were going to schedule to get a new evaporator put in. I told them it's covered under my policy. They told me that they still haven't gotten the report from the technician.

    It's been a couple of weeks now and I call them every day. And they say, “Yeah, we're working on it. We’re trying to get some things done.” They say, “We'll call you within 24 hours. We'll call you back within 24 hours with something to get this claim going” I've been with AHS for five years and paid close to $6,000 in premiums and they can't get anything done on something that should be warrantied under the policy. AHS is the one that hires the techs and they should be able to get reports from them. Also, they charged me $75 for the house call.

    The air conditioner was not cooling and the contractor contacted me. They said the service would be two days later, so I was concerned about that. I asked them to please call me if they had a cancelation and they did. Then, they let me know what time they would come out so I could be there. The two gentlemen who came out were professional. They showed me the piece of the air conditioner that had played out, and then they explained what it did. They said that they needed to change that out, which was what they did.

    The experience with American Home Shield has been good but there are times I’ve considered not continuing because of the price. You pay every month and then you have to pay another 125. It seems to be a little bit pricey. The monthly fee as well as the fee that you got to pay when they come out both increased and that's concerning if you're looking to stay as a longtime customer. Also, it was usually three days out before the contractor could get out. I had already put in a call to another place because I was willing to go ahead and pay the price for getting it repaired outright.

    I had two things going on at once. The light switch in the room wasn't working. The electrician came right in and was out in 15 minutes. Also, my air conditioner went out. Home Shield sent me that Fahrenheit company. They gave me a time that they were going to come, between 12:00 and 3:00. Then the guy asked if he could come a little earlier, so I told him, “Sure.” He came at 10:00. The unit was frozen over and I was guessing the Freon did that. He was supposed to come back, but he never came back that day. It was so hot and we knew it was gonna thaw.

    I finally called right before the company closed and was told that they'll have somebody out the next morning. Now, mind you, it was 113 degrees that time. The next morning, no one showed up so I called to see what time the tech would be here. Finally, the same guy came back out. He looked at it and told me that we had zero Freon and that Home Shield only pays for $10 of it. It's $80 a pound. We needed 12 pounds. It was gonna be $70 times 12 out of our pocket. Well, we have to have Freon, so I told him to go ahead and do it. Then the Freon wouldn't go in. He said it may be a switch in our attic, and by then, he was late in the day. He said that he would not go up in that attic as it was too hot that time. He said he'd back the next morning and left.

    The next morning, about 10 o'clock, I called Fahrenheit and said that if their tech wouldn't go in our attic at this time, it's gonna be hot there again. They told me it was his day off. At this point, I was ticked off. They finally sent somebody out to us. He looked at it, went in the attic, it was in the afternoon, and it turns out it was a switch. Then he said he had to get approval from American Home Shield. They had to order the part and it might take a few days. By that time, it was Thursday. Then Fahrenheit company didn't answer the phone on Friday. I called every number. When I looked at reviews, I noticed that also said they won't answer their phones. They were very unprofessional. To this day, I have not talked to anyone from that company because they knew I would complain.

    We had someone that works for the air conditioner company feel sorry for us. It's also a friend of our family. He came out on Sunday and fixed our air conditioner. He was in this house and out in less than two hours and our air was fixed. We needed zero Freon. As a matter of fact, the little bit of Freon he put in overfilled it. They had to empty some of the Freon out because we had too much. So, all it was, was just a valve that needed to be changed in the attic, and it took one week that we had no air. Fahrenheit still charged me the $100 for the deductible because they said they came out and diagnosed the problem. I was trying to block them. I finally blocked my number to call and at least I got an answering service. They did nothing except come out and tell me what it was.

    The companies that American Home Shield sent out have been awesome. But this time, they, along with Fahrenheit, have really dropped the ball. It's been a week and a half now. I called twice and talked to two different reps. Someone from another department was supposed to call me back to offer a buyout or cash-out or something they said to try and give me some of my money back. I paid over 500 to the person that came plus the 100 that I paid for my deductible. I just finally wrote it off. I'm very disappointed.

    I have had a request pending for about two months to have a plumber come out and look at my dishwasher, and they never did. I called the company myself. They would not come out. I've had American Home Shield reach out to the company multiple times, and they are refusing to come out. The person reached out and called them. He was extremely rude. He wouldn’t answer any questions. He was supposed to be getting with a manager three weeks ago to get my case reassigned, and nothing’s happened.

    Anyone can Google the business that American Home Shield assigned me to, Air Boss Mechanical, and there are multiple people that are saying they have problems with American Home Shield and this one company. I paid my part of the deductible but no one's ever come out. That's been really disappointing. American Home Shield said that they were going to reassign the ticket for another business to come out, but I've never heard anything back.
