    They were really good. They sent a company that works in the area and gave me their information so I could get ahold of them when I was trying to figure out how to work my work schedule. The air conditioner technicians were awesome. They had the equipment and everything they needed. I just paid the $100 and somebody fixed my AC. With the price of everything being as high as it is, I'm definitely paying more than 100 otherwise. The warranty is definitely worth it.

    I had an air conditioning that went out and a dishwasher repair, and the techs were very pleasant people. I had a problem with one of the air conditioner guys, but they came back out and resolved it. Overall, I like having American Home Shield. The service is good, and they're expedient in getting the job done. My only problem is, is that it's hard to understand the people I talk to. They speak too fast.

    Want it to be known, I have had a contract with AHS for 5.5 years and have used them several times without issue until this incident. On May 1st, 2022, I submitted a service request for my covered refrigerator. A technician was dispatched, replaced the suspected part and closed the original request. The repair did not resolve the problem and the technician was dispatched again on May 12th, 2022. The technician ordered the only remaining part able to be replaced on the unit to attempt to repair. The authorization for the part was delayed for two weeks and when finally received, the part was installed only to find it did not resolve the issue. The technician found the unit NON-REPAIRABLE due to main wiring harness. The technician submitted the diagnosis that day to AHS and notified me I should be receiving contact to schedule replacement.

    As of this today, June 20th, 2022, this request has still not been resolved. Have called nearly every day for an update receiving the same information of the part needing to be replaced. After the CS representative reaches out to the contractor, they say the replacement diagnosis has not been received and it will take 24-48 hours to process once it has been received. The replacement diagnosis has been submitted on multiple occasions and even had the contractor include me on the submission on June 10th, 2022 (attached) to ensure I had a copy.

    Having received the same response from EVERY CS representative, I asked to speak with a supervisor/manager to aid in resolving this quickly. Was told I would have to wait 24 hours for a call from a supervisor. The supervisor has attempted to call when I was away from my phone or unable to answer the call and left no return contact information. Calling back into the number forces me back into the CS queue and told I would have to wait another 24 hours for a return call. I am now 7 weeks without a working refrigerator in my home! Still receiving the same information day after day where notes on the service request are not being updated even though the representative has confirmed the status with the contractor.

    Been trying to avoid blasting American Home Shield, but here we go .... Since March I have been trying to get my AC fixed. You sent out a contractor named J&J Mechanical Inc. I had to argue with the technician to even get him to actually check the unit. How can you determine it was a fuse from standing outside my front door arguing with me?? This contractor said a 20 year old wire that runs from the ground all the way to the eaves was eaten by vermin, literally from the top to the bottom. Determined vermin right there!! Can you explain how they bleached the brown to white, cracked it, etc. on the part of the wire they didn't "eat"?? Anyway, they denied the claim citing pest damage. They also left a wire against my house that they said was "arching and throwing sparks" live. (SIDE NOTE: I had my technician come out and check out the unit so I was informed when they started trying to talk to me about the issues.)

    I asked for a second opinion. Indoor Comfort comes along. Indoor Comfort determines the wire damage is from normal wear and tear. Wire gets fixed and they test the compressor. They say there is a pin hole in the compressor and it needs to be replaced. I am told they will submit it, send in pictures, and someone will be calling me back soon to get this resolved. That was in April. No one calls, I call back. AHS, you sent back out J&J. After their dispatcher was rude, their technicians were rude, and they held the diagnosis for a period beyond what your contract says they should and ONLY sent in their results after being forced to. I told you I didn't want J&J on my property. I told you I don't trust them, nor their ability.

    SO, you force me to allow J&J back out. Only for them to find another wire that is on the interior of the outside unit that again supposedly has been eaten by pest. AND, they don't check the compressor at all. The technician also tells me he won't do anything until I go back inside. Again they have to be FORCED to turn in pictures and a report. As the technician is leaving he informs me he will NOT let this be covered and will deny me. Now I ask for another second opinion. You try to send out another company and they don't service our area, so you send out Indoor Comfort again. AND AGAIN, he states it is normal wear and tear, not pest/vermin/whatever you are trying to blame this on. They take pictures and submit their findings. The condenser needs to be replaced PERIOD.

    I have called every other day, sometimes every day, and I keep getting the runaround. I even now have the direct number to authorizations (i.e. people actually in the US). There are been several of your authorizations agents that have tried to get this pushed through to get it fixed and your Contractor Relations person is trying to send J&J back for another look? NO! I REFUSE TO ALLOW THEM IN MY HOME!!! I don't feel comfortable with them. Send someone else! It's pretty sad when other contractors don't want to work after someone because they are tired of cleaning up their messes.

    You have tried multiple times to get someone else out here. There is no one else willing to work in this area. Cash offer me out, let me get my own contractor, or I will be contacting the Texas Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau. I am sure they would love to know that consumers are having to pay for a contract every month and your Contractor Relations Rep is in the pocket of one of your contractors and therefore denying the paying customer the services.

    Multiple times in the last 10 days Pamela in Retention has tried to help me resolve this and multiple times the Contractor Rep has overridden her and denied to allow anyone but J&J to come "look at it again". NOT to fix it, but to look and take pictures. Same pictures everyone else in the company is looking at. Is your Contractor Rep kin to the people at J&J Mechanical Inc.? Are they giving your rep kick backs? I don't read where your contract says I have to use them if there was a second opinion that was different. I have the right to refuse to J&J on my property. What is the issue??? Get it this fixed today American Home Shield!

    We ordered two services. One for our AC to be taken care of. American Home Shield sent it to a contractor, and nobody there. But $75 was taken out of my account for that service. I've called their number several times. Nobody has responded. Left messages. I've sent an email. And I told the email going to AHS about the AC not being taken care of. Another this is, everything for them is done via the internet. You can barely get a live person, and that’s a bad situation. They were supposed to come out and make sure everything is fine. But if by tomorrow I’ve not had any resolution, I'll call my banking institution to tell them I need my $75 back. The other service on the same day was for the plumbing. That was taken care of and very well. They were timely and thorough. And for that, I'm thankful. I’ll give the person A++. I was pleased with the plumbing, but not with the AC. Half of my job has not been taken care of but my money, 100%, was taken out.

    We've only had to call one time to have our air conditioner looked at and it took a little while to get the person out but it wasn't on American Home Shield. The contractor was scheduled to come out and it was raining really bad and they couldn't do the kind of work they needed to do in the rain. So, they were gonna reschedule it. But their scheduler had a medical emergency. But when the techs came, the service was great so we were very pleased with that. The technician from the HVAC company we used told us that we were low on coolant so we thought there was a leak and when we had the contractor from AHS come out, they checked it and said that we’re not low and there was nothing for them to do. And we appreciated that a lot.

    We had a stopped toilet and the service people that came were adequate. When you talk to technicians, they freely tell you, “There is no way that American Home Shield is going to cover anything more than just us getting this working again.” If something needs to be replaced, you can forget it. I have two properties with American Home Shield. There was an instance where the air conditioner broke. A guy came out and states that the wires have been in the sun. We live in Phoenix and the wiring goes everywhere. The guy said the wires touched and they shorted out. He added that American Home Shield won't pay for them to change those wires, but he would do it for $170. That took him less than a minute.

    His point was American Home Shield said they were gonna cover the refrigerator and nothing else. Nothing on top of the refrigerator. It just struck me that it's not what they promise. A lot of times when you call, you're calling a call center in the Philippines. That's always a little frustrating. You're basically held hostage. There was an instance where they got an air conditioning guy. He walked in and was complaining bitterly that American Home Shield has him on so many calls. We had already waited for five days for him to show up. But I get it. American Home Shield contract with contractors and hopefully get them competently working again at the lowest price.

    For our AC claim, the techs had to come out three times. First, the fan wasn’t working. They came out the first time and they got out the panel and the techs said it was some bug that was blocking the connection. He took that off and cleaned it, and then the fan started working. But the air coming out wasn’t getting really cold, so we called him back again. He checked something. We thought that it was fixed. It was cold for a day or two, then it went right back to where it was. A third guy came back again, and he concluded that it needed Freon. They put the Freon in. They were courteous. When I submit a claim with AHS, I call by phone. It's usually pleasant but sometimes, you may get a person that's hard to understand, but they work through it.

    I called because I had trouble with my well. American Home Shield would send somebody out but they couldn't find anybody. So they told me, “If you can find somebody, get them.” I went and got a provider. They came to the house, they did the work. I sent AHS the bill. They told me that they had to approve it. But they didn't tell me that they had to approve it for them to do the work. It was during that COVID. I wasn't even working. But I needed the water. So, I couldn't be there waiting for AHS to approve it. I had to get the work done and I paid. And I wanted my reimbursement. But that was the only problem with American Home Shield.

    Recently, the air conditioning was freezing up and not working. The panels on the side were loose. The contractor sent me an email that they would come to the house. We had trouble with them being there because they had a lot of work. But the tech was professional. I've had good experience with American Home Shield.

    My stove's igniter went out. That was an experience I didn't enjoy too much. The tech came over and looked at the stove and said he had to check if he had the part in his car. He didn't have it and said that he'd come back the next day. He didn't come until three days after that. He said his business is backed up and I'm like, “Well, can you give the part to somebody else so somebody else can bring it by and fix it? Why does it have to be you?” He said he was the only one on the route and he apologized for not being able to make it the next day.

    My other experience was with the hot water tank which was leaking a little water. The tech told me that the problem was something inside one of my little valves that was rusted out. He replaced that and did a good job with it. Everything was on his truck and he was well prepared. He told me that if I have any issues with the leak, to give him a callback and he'd come out. He set me on watch duty to make sure the hot water tank is not leaking and that the problem is actually resolved. That was a good experience. However, the calls go into another country and those people have no idea where I'm located. They initially took the address down wrong and I had to call them four times to get them to fix that. That caused a problem when we had a service call because they were sending the wrong address to the contractor. Also, when I signed up, they told me $75, but the service fee constantly has been $100. They went up on that and we never got the notification on that.

    The repair people had to replace the motor of my washing machine and the service was good. However, I'm not sure American Home Shield is worth what I’ve paid for it because I've paid more in premiums than I would have if I just had somebody repair the washer. We got this home warranty because we know our water heater’s on its last leg, but it’s still working. Also, if they come and replace it, they're gonna give us the cheapest thing money can buy instead of a decent one. So we'll end up having to pay extra to get a decent one, and I'm not happy about that either.

    American Home Shield’s service is okay, but they're slow as hell. The last couple of times I've had to use them, they did pretty good. I had a refrigerator that went bad. The seal on the side went bad, and the guy came out and looked at it and he said they couldn't find another one. So, they had to get me a new refrigerator. It went on for about eight months before I finally got another refrigerator. I had to throw food away because it was going bad and that was what I kept telling them. They said, “Well, we can't help you. We can't find a replacement.” I found replacements, but they expected me to go get them and bring them in. I said, “No, that's not what my warranty says. You're supposed to replace.” So, that was a really bad one.

    I had water in my washroom. So, I called AHS and told them there was something wrong with my washer. We had had a plugged-up septic tank and I didn't realize all the lines in the house got plugged up. It was bad. My washer wouldn't go out. My sink stunk like sewer and I couldn't figure out why. When I called AHS, they got somebody out here who fixed it right away. That was good. The only thing is I live in a mobile home. My mobile home flooring is all particle board. Now, I've got a warped door in the back that I have a hard time opening and closing because the particle board sucked up all the extra water. AHS said they can't do anything about it.

Yesterday, I got home at about 6:30 and when I looked at the temperature, it was 80 degrees inside. After 9 o'clock, it came back to normal. I have it at 74. The guy who came was nice though. I had a problem before with the heater and AHS never fixed it. They told me to order the part and I did, and I called the plumber. AHS told me it would take a week to fix the heater in wintertime. It’s under the warranty that I have and when I called them, they were gonna send me the maintenance. But I had to get somebody to install the part for me.

    I'm just wasting that money and spending it but not getting the service that needs to be done. AHS should take care of the customer and send the right people to do the job right one time. When we ask for service, we need the service in a couple of days, not a week. If I have to wait a week, I'm paying the monthly service for nothing. I can save that money for a year and spend it in one time, and have my issue solved.

They should have more accountability to the contractors. Once they assigned you a contractor, you're pretty much done with it, other than if you have a problem, then they’ll try to seek out the problem. If the contractors themselves aren't that good, American Shield really doesn't know that.

I said, "Okay, fine," and they offered us $600 to replace the coil. I've talked to three other air conditioning repair places and they were all over 2,000. So, what AHS offered us to try to repair something was not accurate. And it shouldn't theoretically cost us anything more to charge us an extra $1,000.

    AHS sent me an email yesterday that said, "Hey, here's what we're offering you, which is $620, or you can go with the company, the ACS." So, I need to call back today and say the amount is not appropriate. But we're stuck between a rock and a hard place. We're in Houston, Texas, where it's 105 degrees. The other unit went down last night. So, I'm in trouble. I put in a warranty request. We'll see what happens.

    Most of the people from American Home Shield are good and professional. We had one bad experience a few years ago. It was one of those situations where you have callbacks for service on the same item, and the people that were sent kept acting like they had fixed the problem. It would work for a little while, and then it'd break down again. Instead of ordering a new water line for the ice maker, they just spliced one and it came off and it blew a hole in our drywall behind the refrigerator. So, I wasn't really happy with that company. I had a claim with AHS recently for the pool and the techs were good. AHS is a very good deal to have because service calls are going up higher and higher. We pay the $125 service fee to lower the premiums and sometimes you wonder, "Well, did I really get my money's worth on the $125 this time? Because it seemed like a simple fix." Still, overall, it's worthwhile.

    American Home Shield is the best company to work with. They'll treat you right. We've had them over 10 years now, and they've always been a company that's very reliable. They always come through when we need them. The chain on our garage door broke. We contacted them and they put us in contact with a provider that came out to fix it. They were very professional and courteous, and everything worked the way it's supposed to. We were pretty pleased with the overall service. It took them a while to get it done though. We had to go a weekend without a car, and that's the only downfall. Everything else, we were completely satisfied with.

    Sigmond Plumbing came out. They were professional. The tech came, told me the issue and resolved it. He was a good guy, good communication. I did a two request at that time, one for my sink in my kitchen. Also, the faucet itself leaked a bit of water. The other one was for a toilet where it wasn't filling properly, so Sigmond had to come in and change something in it.

    The tech told me about the one in the kitchen. He told me that he cannot fix that. And that was the call. He would leave an open ticket for that one to be fixed because he said I needed to get a new faucet. He didn’t even try to fix. He said, “I cannot give you one. So, you need to either call the company that's on there and see if they can give you a new one.” Or, “You have to go purchase one. And then you can call back, and we can come back and reinstall it.” He fixed the toilet, but he didn’t fix that. I thought American Home Shield covered that. He said that those usually cost $300 and they would not provide that for whatever reason.

    It doesn't have to be a Moen to me. Just whatever that fits the style. But he never did. So, he told me that I would have to do it. I thought when I got in there, he would be able to fix my situation instead of me contacting back. The reason I pay for AHS is I am not a handyman. I had a leak and it cost me $500 to fix it. And just to get the annual plan was $450. That leak would've paid for AHS.

    The service is up and down. Sometimes it's good, and sometimes not so good. Our last experience was very good with Myers Comfort. Our air conditioning system was not cooling well enough, and summer was coming, so we needed something going. The guy fixed it, and it's doing just fine. Myers Comfort did a great job. When something breaks down and you have a home warranty, you know that you can get it repaired. It's not always as timely as I'd like it, although this recent one was fairly timely.

    Sometimes, when you're dealing with American Home Shield or other companies that are offering this sort of thing, they find whoever they can get. It's not always the same as the quality that you would pick on your own if you were just choosing somebody on your own. We had a service repairman come by from another outfit that was really terrible. In fact, this other guy had to fix things that the other people messed up when they were doing their repairs. I told American Home Shield that I never wanted that company again, and I haven't seen that group since. Hopefully, that's because they responded. Maybe some other people complained too.

    Another thing is when you do claims online, it's limited to the parameters that American Home Shield sets. You're not talking to somebody. I have two different types of air conditioning systems, and what I need doesn't always come across clearly when I do it online, but by and large, they've been pretty good. Lately, they've been better about responding more quickly to different concerns.

It took a while for me to get my money and I had to keep calling. When I called, they said they needed a specific document.

    AHS doesn't cover anything. I pay 80 bucks a month for this, and I'm still sitting here at home with no AC. I made the claim. The guy came out. He flipped the breaker back on. It didn't work when I tried it but it worked when he did. Then he left. He said, “You might wanna get an electrician out here.” I got an electrician out. I paid that guy, then I paid the electrician. The electrician came out and said, “You've got a 40-amp breaker on a 30-amp wire. I could change that, but it probably won't do anything.” Because he said that, I couldn't get the AC fixed until he did that. I paid out of pocket to have him do that in addition to the money that I paid. Once he did that, I said, “He did that. Can I get the AC guys back out?” That took a couple of weeks.

    The AC guy came back. He said that there were a bunch of things wrong with the compressor and that, also, he thought maybe it was using too much power for the breaker. He sent that estimate and then I got denied because there was pet hair in the compressor. Now I'm gonna have to pay out of pocket to have that fixed. I spent a bunch of money on nothing. I have to spend a bunch more money getting it fixed.

    Plus, when the workers came out, they seemed to have the attitude, “This is just the American Home Shield job.” Like, “We're not gonna make any money off this, so we're not gonna really do anything.” Literally, nothing has been fixed when I've called somebody out. I've ended up having to pay out of pocket every single time. AHS is a big scam.

The technician was supposed to contact me the night before to let me know that they were coming and to confirm. They were supposed to call me an hour before they were supposed to arrive, too.

Supposedly, he told the office that he had come and knocked on the door and that nobody answered and he left. He didn't bother calling me on the phone to let me know he was here. He just split.

    After I complained, he said that he was too far away to come back. I had to wait until Thursday to where another technician came and took care of the problem. I was very upset. They were nonchalant. They even said, "You missed the appointment." I said, "I did not miss any appointments. I was here.

    I had a pipe that bust in my ceiling. Beforehand, my damages would be so bad, I would have to use my home insurance to have it redone. But this time it was small. I called American Home Shield and they said they could send a plumber out. It took a few days to get someone out here. The first day they want to come, I was having an outpatient surgery so they couldn't come. By the time they got to me, it was bad. I had buckets catching the water. Tommy that works for Dave's Plumbing came in and did a beautiful job and he let me know he had done some other townhouses where I live. But he said, "There's nothing I can do about your ceiling. You have to get a carpenter or somebody that does those kinds of repairs." He said, "Why don't you reach back to AHS?"

    I reached back out to American Home Shield and the lady told me, "Yeah. We can get someone to come out there to do that patchwork." She said, "It's a continuation of your claim that you put in." When the guy got here, it was a job that was too big for him. He said, "A lot of your ceiling has to be cut out and sheetrock put in. I'm a one-man person. I really can't do it."

    When I called AHS back to let them know, the lady said, "It's been denied." I said, "What's been denied? I'm just now calling." She said, "He couldn't do the work so everything was denied." We went back and forth. I did another call because I couldn't really make her understand me 'cause she had a foreign accent and I was getting frustrated. I stopped talking with her. I called back and talked to another young lady. She was gonna have someone to call me. She said, "I'm emailing your situation." But nobody called. I reached back out to AHS again. When I did, the guy explained to me, "If you go back and look at your contract, we really can't do the work. That's something you're gonna have to do on your own."

    If they had just explained it to me in the beginning, I wouldn't have been going through all of that. I'm still sitting here with holes in my ceiling and trying to get someone to fix it for me. I was very disappointed. I was going to cancel with them. But the last person I've talked to was so nice and he went through a lot of information with me about my contract with them. I said, "I may hang around a little while." I also had problems with my refrigerator. I didn't like the guy that did the work. I needed a part. He said, "If I can get it, it'll come to you. But if not, then you just won't get it." That was how he left it. If he did and they couldn't accommodate me, somebody should have let me know.

After the issues was fixed, I paid the contractor, and a few days later I sent receipts to claim for reimbursement, they told me they didn't authorize and declined the reimbursement. This is very bad behavior, I sent them a few times for appeal, they told me the case has been closed. I have cancelled my service with them. Will never use them again.

    I purchased a home built in the 1970s, and I expected some issues with the older home. The appliances are on the high end and had been replaced in the last several years, so I knew at least one or two would need to be replaced. I selected American Home Shield from the options that the seller provided for Home Warranties and I regret that choice. AHS covered almost nothing that went wrong with my house and the appliances. I had an "outside" faucet that was leaking. Since the faucet was connected to the house but was facing outside, it wasn't covered, but this isn't stated in the contract. I had a leak discovered under my house by a contractor that he said would not be covered by AHS, so I paid for this repair out of pocket as well that was over $6,000. I believed him because the previous small faucet repair wasn't covered.

    The next item to stop functioning was the dishwasher. There was always water in the bottom of the dishwasher and it never fully drained. The dishes were not cleaned completely when this happened. One repair man came out and told me that I wasn’t closing the door all the way, but that it could also be a control board malfunction since the dishwasher wasn’t finishing all of the cycles. He ordered a new control board that arrived about 2 weeks later. The control board was not the correct item for my unit. In the meantime, I would flip the breaker switch for the dishwasher to attempt to get the dishwasher running again. Flipping the breaker switch worked about half of the time to get the dishwasher to drain and start a new cycle.

    The next service call the repair man came and told me that my dishes were TOO clean and that the soap was building up and preventing the dishwasher from draining. After a month of putting really dirty dishes in my dishwasher and flipping the breaker switch to start and stop the dishwasher, I had had enough. I didn’t attempt to call AHS again and bought a new dishwasher out of pocket.

    During this time, my garage door was also starting to work intermittently. When it stopped opening after a couple of days, I put in a service request through AHS to have it repaired. The repairman told me that there was a loose wire, and that the unit would most likely need to be replaced. He also told me that AHS probably wouldn’t cover a replacement and told me that his company could install a new unit for $500. The next time the garage door opener stopped functioning for a few days, instead of spending another $75 for the next service call, I opted to purchase a new garage door opener.

    The next appliance to start giving me problems was my refrigerator. It was making this awful high pitched whirring noise that was causing migraines. I put in a service call with AHS, and the repairman told me that AHS doesn’t cover noise complaints. This information is not in the contract either. The noise started to get worse and worse, so I decided to replace the refrigerator. Now, the refrigerator is no longer cooling or freezing, but the new fridge doesn’t arrive for a week.

    Total I have paid out $300 directly to AHS for repairs that have not lasted. I have paid $9,594.45 out of pocket to have items repaired, replaced, and installed. In less than one year, I have paid $9,894.45 which is astonishing to me when I have a home warranty in place. American Home Shield warranty has been completely worthless and a waste of my time and money. I do not recommend. If I could have awarded negative stars, I would have.

    The company they sent out did say I needed a new unit, but AHS said that it needed replacing but it wasn't due to wear and tear, due to salt because I was beachfront so they would not cover. I am not beachfront and my system is 21 years old. I've replaced 6 year old systems before. I requested the 2nd opinion, they couldn't decide so scheduled a 2nd review by that company.

    I've had AHS in two homes and I've never had a problem with them in my other house. They took care of everything that I needed. When I moved from that house to this house, I immediately put AHS on to keep me protected. Even if I have to pay that one initial fee, it's worth it. They send over reputable people and they're very considerate.

    I had a claim when the unit kept making a loud noise but when the tech from Ramsey Air came out, it wasn't making the noise and he couldn't detect anything if he couldn't hear it. He told me to contact them if it starts up again. A few days later, it did and I called him back. He came back out, repaired it, and gave me a new thing to turn that thing on and off. Also, he replaced the thermostat and it's been fine since. The tech was very cordial and understanding. He showed me a few things to do to prevent anything from going wrong and I really appreciate him coming back.

    I can just submit a claim online. American Home Shield assigns somebody and I'd get an email showing who they assign to me and what their phone number is, and showing with no more than a couple of days. It depends on what day it is or what product. If it's the air conditioner now, it's gonna be a tough space where somebody gets out there. My recent claim was a leaky handle valve by the washing machine. The guy was here 15 minutes and out the door. Also, AHS put in a new air conditioner and furnace. One year, it was the furnace that went out, then the air conditioner. AHS has replaced both of those within the last five years.

    I’ve only had one issue. I has the ones where I had to pay my deductible up front. So, I paid my deductible upfront and I ended up either it fixed itself or something happened. So, I never got my deductible back. And AHS said, “Once you pay it, you lose it.” I said, “Well, you didn't have anybody come fix it either.” Other than that, AHS has come in handy. I've had some major appliance issues over those years, and it balanced out. But when I needed AHS, they were there. I've had a furnace, air conditioners, dishwashers, several things at different times. So, peace of mind is why I have it. I'd rather have that than have to worry about coming up with 5,000 or $10,000 for them to do something.

    We moved into a home that has AC units which are almost 30 years old and I've had to call AHS several times. At some point, I had a little bit of frustration because the units are so old that you can't even get parts for them. AHS wound up having to get a whole new compressor. But they don't know what the limitations are when it's time to replace it or they seem to just decide when they want to if they ever have to replace them. Plus, I'm having to pay for the old Freon that they have to use because they don’t even make the Freon part anymore. So, they have to use a different Freon.

    If I'm unhappy like that, then I should probably break down and buy my own units. But that's the whole point of that insurance stuff. I'm not gonna say it's a terrible thing because they keep them up and running, but at some point, it gets cost-prohibitive for the consumer. But we've had American Home Shield now for a few years, so we've been okay with them. They served their purpose. I had some recent issues and they took care of them but they're a bit on the slow side and you can't understand who you're talking to. When you submit a claim, you rarely talk to a person in the US.

    My AC unit quit blowing cold air, and it was blowing warm air. I contacted American Home Shield and they sent out Crispy Air. The tech told me that it was the capacitor that went out and freon. This is the fourth consecutive summer that I've had an issue with the capacitors and the freon. The tech told me it's an old unit, and this is going to keep happening. It's repairable because you put in a new capacitor and new freon. But I just spent over $400 last year on freon for a leak that I had to have people come out twice for because the first guy didn't catch the leak.

    When I tried to call American Home Shield, I wanted the number to the CEO so I can contact them. The rep told me they couldn't give me that information. I knew exactly what they were going to tell me - that as long as it can be repaired, they're going to repair it. But they're just putting a band-aid on an issue that's happened four consecutive summers. They refuse to put a new one in. I already had Crispy Air put it in and I get it that I did it without their consent. But I just had this heart surgery and I don't want to be sitting and it's 104, 105 degrees without an AC.

    We were smelling gas in our laundry room and it turned out that the hot water heater had a leak in it. I submitted a claim online with AHS and their website was to the point and easy to navigate through. The tech, Howard, said there was a problem with the knobs and it was an old unit, so gas was leaking out more than it should have been. He was great and now, gas is not leaking anymore. He also educated us. At the time, we were scared and thinking about going to a hotel but he said unless we were seeing waves, then our house wouldn't blow up.

    Aside from that, since the unit was replaced because he couldn't repair it, our water doesn't get cold as quickly. We're a family of four and water was getting cold after the second shower. So fast forward, we can tell that it is a better situation with a better unit because now all four people can take a shower without waiting an hour in between.

    I had a claim for my ice maker, a leak in the sink, and my microwave that was sparking fire. AHS sent Economy Heat & Air out and they ordered some little brain box to go in the microwave, but it was a temporary fix. Economy were really nice but for the ice maker, they ordered 11 parts for it and they weren't able to fix it. Economy's guy who came out to check my refrigerator also said that it needed something on the inside of the ice maker, a Samsung, and that was really expensive. So they don't deal in that and they would not fix it.

    AHS then sent out Hers and His Plumbing and told me that the plumbing was a different ticket which would cost another $75. But they still weren't able to fix the issue and the reps at AHS started giving me the runaround. So I called them and had a feud of words. When I first called AHS about the ice maker, they accepted my claim and never called me back to tell me that they don't fix ice makers. When I called again, they said they didn't fix ice makers. Some of them have such thick accents and when I asked for a supervisor, they said there was no supervisor around. I wanted them to tell me why the ice maker was not covered and I told them that I wanted to speak with someone who spoke English. But I never got to talk to anybody who spoke English or could explain to me why the ice maker was not covered.

    I've been going back and forth with AHS on this. I was calling them on a Monday, then I called back on a Friday and I asked whoever answered the phone if they wrote down what I said because the other reps I talked to would tell me that they didn't know more about what I was calling about. Aside from that, their contractors are horrible and they need to quit the lies they make in the commercials. They said that if an appliance needs replacing, they'll give you the same thing you had or something equal to what you had. But I've been with them for 15 years and they did not replace my air conditioner and heating unit. They kept sending techs out and had three compressors put on it. Then, I had to pay for the Freon which cost $800.

    AHS also sent me a microwave in place of the one I had and it was trash. It was cheap and was nothing compared to what I had. Then for my stove, their guys came and got the stove because they couldn't fix it. I told them that I got a self-cleaning oven and what they should send me must have that, because I have severe bronchitis and asthma, so I cannot spray fumes. But when they sent me the replacement, it does not have an automatic oven cleaner on it and it was nothing like what I had. Then, they said they'd send me a check and I'd put the rest of the money with it.

    Long story short, I called them last week and told them to cancel my contract. The rep told me that somebody would call me back in five days and ask me some questions. They have called back a couple of times, but I have not answered the telephone because when I called last Friday, they just played music and nobody ever picked up the phone.

    On another claim, because the contractor was ordering, they called them and told them what part needed to be ordered. I had to wait for that week to get it because the pool pump in my back yard died. I didn't know what it's called. It's a water pump and I needed a water filter. They had to order that, but it took five weeks. When he came back out with it, he didn't fix both parts. He said the screw was broken and he had to order it. I went on vacation for two week so here I am waiting again. Everything comes from China now, and I thought I was getting the Hayward pump because that's what my pool had, but they order whatever parts. Also, one of the things that was strange is I live in Sacramento and they have people from all over. For my pool, they hired somebody in Auburn. But so far, I've been happy with American Home Shield. I'm getting what I pay for.

    My AC went out. First, I called American Home Shield and they sent out Max Cool to evaluate it and there was a leak in my cooling system, the Freon. They patched it up and it worked fine for about two days, and then it went out again. I filed another claim with American Home Shield and they sent Max Cool out again. This time, the unit inside my garage had a defective part and they had to order the part, which they got in a day, and then they came out and replaced it and everything's working fine so far.

    Our hot water heater refused to light its gas. The pilot light was non-functional at all. I called AHS and the techs came out quite promptly. They inspected it and informed me that they would attempt to effect repairs. If repairs were not able to be made, chances are that I would be getting a replacement out of it. They were able to repair it and we have not had any issue with it since then. It was relatively easy to get them to come out. They did professional work.

    American Home Shield had lied to me one time. I called first. The rep was very helpful to me. When I called back, I got somebody else. It was about the antifreeze. The copay is too much, plus what you have to pay every month. AHS told me they wouldn't put the antifreeze. We had to do that ourselves. But I found out something there. So, we were in this house for three weeks with no air conditioning. When I got back again while the guy was out here talking, he said, “You are covered. ’Cause you have the platinum. And when you got that platinum, you are covered. They're supposed to put it in.” He was so good. I love that guy. And he said, “Let me pull it up and show you.”

    While he was here, I called AHS. I'm glad I got the rep I got before. She said, “Yes. You are covered.” I said, “Okay. That's all I want to know.” I love her. She was good and she helped me. That's why I like to call early in the morning to get her. She's the one that I love to talk to. When I call a bit later than that, I get somebody else. You could get the wrong one that will give you the right answer, or get the right ones that will give you the right answer. AHS needs to get rid of a couple of ones they got working there.

    When you get platinum, that’s it. But me paying a $100 copay? I lost $300. The first time, the guy couldn't do this or that. “You have to do that yourself. That gotta come out your pocket.” That was $100. But he couldn’t do that. That was another $100. I live on a fixed income. I don't work. I'm disabled, yet I was taken advantage of. When you pay $79 a month for platinum and if you end up anything breaks in the house, and somebody has to come out and fix it, that's $100 copay. That should come down on that copay. Because when I had them, when I had them a long time ago, it wasn't $100. My copay was $60. And a lot of us is upset about that. I’m gonna straighten it down because the way they would do wasn’t right. There are seniors. I’m a senior. I have a teenager. And I have my little dog. We were completely miserable.

    And the guy duped me on the money I had to pay out of my pocket myself. He didn’t even fix it. So, the boy that came out here and fixed my air conditioning said, “This is what he did.” He is good. He had to take a picture of what the one I hired to do it did. He said, “Miss, you know what? So, he just got your money for nothing.” I said, “Well, here's a picture he took.” He said, “Uh-uh. He didn't do nothing.” And I'm not gonna be used anymore like that. They better not start that mess anymore.

    We like American Home Shield a lot. They've updated some of the things they're doing because I'm not having to wait as long to get someone out here. They asked me to take pictures of the appliance that I was having a problem with, and all that may be handled before they get here so I don't wait two or three weeks to get a part. Or sometimes, the people that they send wouldn't even contact me. I'd have to contact them and then they take forever to get out here. Then I'd call and say, “When is it coming in?” I was not satisfied with it. But the last time I called, I was satisfied. I liked the last contractor that was out here. They called to delay the service for a week because of some problem in their family. But at least they called and were in contact with me. We’ve used another company before and they were slow to respond and sometimes, they wouldn't even call me.

    American Home Shield has bad AC contractors. One came out to repair one of my ACs that wasn’t working and he said what he did, wrote it up and left. A few weeks later, my AC overflowed and cracks in my ceiling. The water went through my ceiling, through my floor and then to the garage. When I checked his work, he had not done what he said he did. So, I called American Home Shield and they sent another contractor. The guy documented the things the first guy did wrong. He did not drain the line, which was why it clogged up and overflowed, and he said he cleaned the drain line out but didn’t. I got a whole gallon full of muck out of the drain line when the next AC contractor came and cleaned it himself. The first guy also wired the float valve backwards. The float valve cuts it off when it starts to accumulate water and it never cut off because he wired it wrong, which was what caused it to overflow.

    I sent a letter to American Home Shield describing these problems, put pictures of what happened and put the documents of the next AC contractor documenting what he found. But I never heard anything back from AHS on that. I will have to take action if I want them to fix the damages. So, that’s one bad experience. We’ve had several other bad experiences with AC contractors. But once in a while, we get a good AC contractor and we have a good experience. AHS’ service other than AC is okay but I would like them to improve on it by coming to fix my house that their air conditioning contractor damaged.

    I will not continue my business with AHS. I live in Arizona and we are currently experiencing a heat wave. I woke up to my AC not cooling (of all days) and my home thermostat is currently at 96 degrees (and we are definitely feeling it), the current weather is 104 degrees. I immediately went online scheduled an appointment, called the contractors explained my family's needs, and was told that I would have to wait another 2 days for my AC to be serviced and they could not give me a time.

    Today is Tuesday, June 14, 2022, the appointment is for June 16, 2022, time - unknown. I looked up the temperatures for June 15th & 16th, and it's showing 105 & 111 degrees. I called AHS and explained to them what the contractor told me. I asked the AHS representative if there was any way I could get a list of their affiliated contractors to see if there was an earlier date for servicing my AC. The AHS rep told me that he would have to cancel my existing appointment to get a new one (although that's not what I asked) and he could not help with any further options. Not sure why it's so difficult for AHS reps to help their customers find the best service options by simply calling around but I guess that's not a part of their customer service satisfaction policy. I pay $68.82/mo for their Shield Platinum with a $100 TRADE SERVICE CALL FEE each time I place a service order. I am done with AHS and will not recommend them to anyone.

    One claim was a dryer, which was scheduled to be taken care of on Thursday the 9th between 2:30 and 4:30. The tech was a great guy. The problem that I had was a ceiling fan. American Home Shield sent a person out a week and a half ago. He said he couldn't replace the fan because it was too high off the floor. They canceled the plan, then I called twice. So, I called yesterday and we stayed on the phone for almost half an hour. They tried to give me all kinds of excuses. They wanted to charge me for reopen a claim for which they messed up and I disagreed with it.

    I was disgruntled with the way that they handled the claim because they closed it. They didn't even consult me. And it never was touched. The guy came out took the light fixture off the fan, checked everything out, and the light worked but the fan didn't. He said it needed to be replaced and he would go back to his office and tell his supervisor to contact AHS to give the job to someone else. Instead of doing that, they canceled it and said they wouldn't change it. So, we went through all kinds of things and I took all the excuses away from them. The gentleman that came over from Eric Electric changed the fan and it took him 45 minutes. So, AHS sent the wrong person out the first time. The second guy did a great job. Both claims have been closed and everything turned out great, and both technicians did a great job in completing the job and it was professional.

    So last year in July of 2020 we made a claim about our a/c. Paid the 100.00 They came out and looked at unit said it needed a evap coil and 8 lbs of Freon. That being said it was 1,200 to fix. We currently didn’t have it due to a new baby and other financial responsibilities. So we just used the upstairs unit the rest of the summer. Fast forward to 2021. I called AHS and told them I had the money and would like to fix now. Keep in mind it has been turned off since the previous July. They proceeded to tell me I had to pay another 100.00 because it’s been over 1 month since they last came out. Nothing has changed. Just take my money and fix the issue. Right?! So paid another 100.00 and the contractor told me they didn’t need to come back out so they just ordered the parts. Finally we had ac again or so I thought.

    A week later it wasn’t blowing cold air. Called them back out. The joint they fixed leaked all the Freon out. I was not paying 90.00 per pound again. Lucky me I didn’t have to. Fast forward to June 2022 no ac again. Called. Made a claim. Paid another 100.00. So now I’m 300.00 deep in service call fees plus my 160.00 I’ve been paying monthly for 3+ years. For them to tell me that oh it’s leaking from the same spot. Now they want me to replace condenser, 3lbs of Freon 420.00, surge protector 375.00 and a pad for condenser 150.00 and electrical work 250.00 for a grand total of 1195.00. It hasn’t been 1 year since it was last worked on.

    Thinking about of opening a savings account and putting what I normally pay AHS away. We currently had the kitchen remodel and bought a new washer and dryer. So pretty much everything is now and under a manufacture warranty for a year. For anyone who took the time to read this take your time and shop around. Look at the fine print. Me personally would not recommend this service to family, friends or even a stranger for that matter. All in all spent the ac has cost my family and I a total of 2,995 in the past two years with service fees. Plus what I’ve paid in for 3 years 5,760.00. Total for both 8,755.00 DON’T DO IT!!

He had the whole thing up and fixed within three hours. But it was a whole different story when I had the refrigerator repaired.

    Where I'm located, AHS only uses Sears for repairs, so it was very slow. My fridge claim last time took about six weeks to get repaired. AHS kept sending people out here and they thought the issue was one part, then another part, and then another part. On the fourth time, they got the actual thing fixed. I was very, very angry about this fridge. We were fortunate because we have a garage fridge, so we were able to move all the stuff from there and make it work. My dishwasher claim was the same thing. But the dishwasher went a little faster because they ended up not being able to find the parts, so they had to give me a brand new one. Every single contractor we've had has been great.

    American Home Shield gives me peace of mind knowing that if something breaks down, I can call and have someone come out and look at it. I’m not worried about being out of thousands and thousands of dollars for each thing that goes wrong. I've had six claims in, and American Home Shield took care of all of it. It cost $75 per claim, but I didn’t realize that you can do multiple issues in one claim. I kept on putting in separate claims and I paid for each. For the contractors, their goal is to fix a unit, not to replace it, which I like a lot. Home warranty companies can’t afford to go out and replace a brand new AC unit for $6,000, when you’re paying only 1,800 bucks or 2,400 bucks per year.

    I had a plumbing issue at home. American Home Shield connected me with a plumber. The plumber knew what was going on prior to coming out just from me describing the issue. He took care of everything. I like the prompt response from American Home Shield. They're good with that and linking the consumer to reputable repair people. The benefit of a home warranty depends on how frequently your appliances break down, which is something you can’t anticipate. So far, my home warranty is okay. It's just with my monthly payment over the year, I could have probably done cheaper just with the job itself for this year.

    It's a deductible fee every single time. And I like the response time every time I've made a call on this place. I also had American Home Shield at my previous house. I didn't have to wait more than a couple of days. The couple of recen times I needed to have a service call done went great. The first one was the before-summer-check-them-up, just to make sure everything was running fine. And all was good. That first guy was great. He likes cats. I have a blind kitty and he adored her. But his service was wonderful, too. The second one was the fan motor busted. The contractor came and replaced it. The guy was afraid to get up on the second story of my house. So, he had to call in another technician, which is fine. I'd rather have them feel safe than sorry. But those two guys did great.

    I'm dissatisfied right now with the air conditioner situation. I'm ill and I called and told them I need to have this air conditioner come out. Sometimes what happens is, maybe because they're so large, they're not very good at handling and seeing things through to fruition. Especially now that they're more automated, they rely a lot on the customer using their portal. You have to call in. When you get them, they're wonderful, but there's not customer care. There's not someone saying, "Hey, wait a minute. She put this claim in three weeks ago. She said it was an emergency. She's sick. Her air conditioner doesn't cool. She's an asthmatic." I put in, "I need someone out here yesterday." But no one came and I had to call twice. And then they were, "Oh, we're so sorry." So, they waived the fee.

    Recently, the refrigerator was leaking, so I had the gentleman come out. We weren't aware that it was leaking. So, the floor was all wet. The gentleman was really good. He said the drain hole was blocked. He unplugged it and he was great. The fridge was working fine when he left.

    I've had American Home Shield decades for different houses that I've had. The two things that I like about them is the accessibility. They seem to be everywhere or nationwide because I was military. I moved a lot and I lived in different places. Also, they have a very low deductible. A lot of these other places, they want you to pay $175 for each visit. But AHS has been lower than the other guys all 20-something years that I've used them.

    Updated on 7/25/2022: I have a previous open request through Consumer Affairs. I was working with Robert ** at AHS and he closed the request without answering me. I have been waiting on an A/c service call for sometime. All techs that they have sent out have said it needs replaced but all Ahs will authorize is more freon, not fixing the issue. If Robert is unable to assist, I would like his supervisor to contact me. My phone # is on the contract as is my email address. He states he called me, but no missed calls or a voicemail. I need follow up. Not having a correctly working A/c for months is difficult with 100+ degree temps.

    Original review: I normally would never turn to social media, but I am at a loss. I have had my Air Conditioner looked at 5/2021 and had Freon added 3 or 4 times between May & Aug of 2021 out of pocket since only $10 a pound is covered. I was told then there wasn’t enough proof of a Freon leak so the unit wouldn’t be replaced. Fast forward to today, and one again Freon had to be added. I have had 2 Ahs companies tell me that the unit needs replaced but that all Ahs will do is add Freon. I had a company of my own add Freon as well in 2020. This company also works for Ahs and says it needs replaced. At what point do we listen to the contractors? I attempted to discuss with customer service but all the reps are so scripted I’ve given up there as well.

    The fan on the unit outside went out. The techs came out and replaced the fan. However, clipped-off pieces of the wire were left laying in my yard. I got a survey back from American Home Shield, "How was the service with the contractor?" I said, "It was sorry and this is why." The next time I call about air conditioning, I got the same contract. AHS is not worth the money. It'd be also nice if they had a customer service number where you can actually get someone on the phone that could speak intelligently about your claims.

    It took a long time to get the AC fixed because they wanted me to put down several $100, to give them $700, which I did. Then, they came back out. I told them what was wrong, and they told me I need to pay them $700. Then another day later, somebody else came out, brought the parts and fixed it. They were supposed to put in some liquid sealant but the tech didn’t know how to spray it in there, so he couldn’t get it in.

    Most of the coolant was spilled and then the tech said I was also paying $700 for the coolant. But the amount of coolant that they expected it to take didn’t fill it up. So I pulled back the $700 from my card and then I called American Home Shield to tell them that I did it. But I haven't heard anything else from them since then. The first tech that came out seemed like he knew what he was doing. But the second one didn’t. American Home Shield might be a good company, but to me, it seems like they’re talking too much money for somebody on a warranty.

    I’ve had American Home Shield for four months when the microwave on my microwave/oven combination stopped working. I just ignored it because you had to buy the whole unit, top and bottom. I had previously replaced the heating element of the oven myself so I figured that nothing else was going to go wrong. I would just put up with not having a microwave for a while when, without the microwave, we could still survive. However, the controls are on the same electrical pad. So eventually, the controls went out and I couldn't do anything. At the same time, the washing machine started leaking. It wouldn't throw out the water.

    I called American Home Shield and because they’re both utility things in the kitchen, I could call one time and pay $100. They sent someone and the guy probably fixed the washing machine. But the oven/microwave had to be totally replaced. I paid AHS $55 a month but it's 59 now. It's gone up a little. But for that one visit of $100, I got a new microwave and oven combination. And I thought the washing machine was fixed. However, it started leaking so, the guy came back and he said he thought he fixed it. But it was an old washing machine that had a steel drum and he said it’s not even being made anymore.

    I got them all replaced, which sold me on AHS so much. But since then, they've done other things. They've replaced what they call the motherboard to my air conditioning. It wouldn't turn on and the tech said there were some electrical problems. He made sure that the switches in the breakers were all right. He said it was an electrical problem in the motherboard and he could replace it. But it's an old unit so it might take a long time to get it. He had a few in his van and he looked at what he got. He came back and said he had one that would work, and he put it in.

    All the techs have been very nice. We had some trouble with the refrigerator. It wasn't keeping the freezer cold. That was about last Christmas and since then, they've come three different times for the same refrigerator. It seemed to take them a long time to figure out exactly what wasn't working. They'd get it working and then it would stop again. They fixed it and when I called within a month, they didn't charge me $100 again. I've only been charged twice because one time was further away in time. American Home Shield was there when I needed them. They came fairly quickly and always sent people that were responsible. I would highly recommend them.

I know that the call center in Columbia has a standard page to read to the customers. Because if they don’t have answers, you’re screwed. My refrigerator was broken since November of last year. And I went around and around with AHS. It was terrible, about the fan.

    That went on from Foster Appliances. I didn’t want to deal with them anymore. And I dealt with Swift which was good with helping me, but they didn’t have the parts. So, AHS sent me to Sears. The kid that came here was so good. I said, “Buddy, I don’t have the part yet.” And he said, “Let me go down there anyway. Let me see what you got.” He came and said, “Yeah, you need a fan.” I said, “I know. I don’t have the parts.” And he said, “You know what? Let me find out what’s going on.”

    He called another vendor from Sears in Redlands. He said, “Sir, I believe we might have the fan. So, I’m gonna drive to Redlands” I live in San Dimas. He drove all the way to Redlands, got the part for us, and came all the way back. And when he came back, I wasn’t even here. He said, “Sir, I’ll sit here in the front porch till you get here.” I said, “Buddy, please don’t leave until we get the part.” I was so anxious. Came in, replaced the part, and the fridge is working perfectly. This kid went out of his way. Without him, I would still be without a refrigerator. AHS better keep that thing with Sears people going, and keep Foster and the other ones out of the picture. Sears was fantastic. Also, when AHS replaced my garbage disposal, they were on it. I called in. I paid my money. The guy came in and said, “I’ll be out in 20 minutes,” he was out in 15. It was great.

    Our dishwasher was broken and we had one person come out and. The repair person didn't do anything and didn't even look at it. Just said it's wear and tear. Didn't even fix the little arm that was broken. I called American Home Shield, they said, "We're gonna get someone else out there," give us a second opinion. They sent someone, the arm was reordered and it was reinstalled. They followed up with me to make sure that I was happy with what happened and how they fixed it. And it went great. I love American Home Shield. I recommended them to my mom and to my sister. So, my family actually has policies with all of them.

    Peace of mind of when repairs are needed and AHS is very honest about what's on the policies. My policy entails my swimming pool and pumps. They were very clear about that. My mom doesn't have a pool. So, they priced out what she does have. They're very informative, very open, they talk about the network of people they have that helps fix repairs. So, my mom had her fridge go out, the contractor came out, they saw that it couldn't be repaired -- it was a bad pump -- and they didn't give a hassle to get it replaced. It's probably the best thing I did. It's for all my family because it's a peace of mind.

    We put a claim in for our AC that was leaking and a repairman came out and fixed it in five minutes. We've had 2 different issues and both times they've come out within 24 hours and fixed it relatively quickly.

    Back in March, my AC went down. I went through AHS and they sent an AC company. My AC worked for three to four weeks until it went down again. It started making some weird noises. I called to see if AHS could send them again, but they couldn't. Their warranty is only one month for the company. I had to do my claim again a few weeks ago and Doctor Cool came. They've gone already a few times to my house, and every time they go, they always do an amazing job.

    The technician that first came out diagnosed the air conditioner issue and they determined the compressor was bad. It had to be replaced. They had to order the compressor. At first, they told me it would take two weeks, but when I called in the next day, the compressor was in. So I got lucky. They kept me up to date on everything going on. Everything was great.

    The faucet in my bathroom was clogged up and I couldn't work it. I couldn't make the shower work. I had tried to disconnect it but it was all stuck. When a tech came in, I didn't think he would be able to do it right away but he did. He changed it out and it’s perfect. This claim was handled wonderfully. American Home Shield is excellent and they do things right away. I had a problem with them the first time I tried to have that faucet taken care of because the plumbing company never showed up and would never call me back. I told American Home Shield this and they called them, too. Apparently, they never called back. That was back in February.

    I have a continuous claim for my air conditioning unit. It never got fixed every time the service people came out. One service man put the fan in backwards. When the other guy came because it still wasn't working, he notified me that it was put backwards. The air conditioning unit never got fixed and they're trying to say it was due to the weather. The weather doesn't put the air conditioner fan backwards. I was told the unit had to be replaced but American Home Shield refused to replace it. They said it was due to damage. My experience with American Home Shield has been very poor and I'm not satisfied at all. If they do a project, they should finish it.

    The AC wasn’t cooling and it was freezing from the outside. The gentleman from AAA All Brands Appliances called and asked what the problem was. He was very concerned because he said he could come right away but I wasn’t home. He said he was gonna call me back and redo his schedule so he could come when I was available. Sure enough, he said he could come such and such time, and he did. He had a lot of compassion about what was going on for me and whatever I asked him to do, he did it. So, I was thankful for that. All I needed was Freon and I was all done. He was good.

    I have had three problems so far. One was my water heater went and two times with my air conditioner. American Home Shield had to change one. The first time with the air, the tech had to change something on the outside and then he said I would be cool enough in a minute. And sure enough, I was. Then, AHS called and asked how everything was. They made sure everything was going good. So, I like that too. I would recommend people to get on AHS’ plan ASAP.

    For my recent claim with AHS, my dishwasher was acting up and I contacted them and they sent out Sears. They were the best I’ve had, so far. They were in contact with me for a couple of days prior, called me first, and then texted me. I would recommend AHS. I've had them for 10 years now. I've only had one incident with AHS where I wasn't satisfied with the folks that they sent. But other than that, I'm satisfied. I wouldn't be with them as long as I had.

    Our dishwasher and washing machine weren't working, and the technicians that did the job were nice and good. The washer was fixed, but for the dishwasher, I was told someone will be contacting me about receiving a new one ‘cause they don't make the parts anymore. Someone should have contacted me two weeks ago, but I'm still waiting for them to call me back. Everything was good, though, and I'm satisfied. Overall, having American Home Shield is good if something is broken. It's better than paying a whole price for something.

    I was getting some leakage. It was a part of my roof that needed to be looked at, so we called, and they did a fantastic job. The contractor was very thorough and explained everything that they were going to do and why.

    American Home Shield was a good deal with what they cover. So far, we've had good luck with it. I've had them on another house then I decided to get them on my new home. My wife then added her three properties. Even though you pay the monthly fee and the $75, sometimes it's paid off. It's been an advantage to some degree. A couple of the contractors lately screwed up. But the jobs are getting done. It just takes some time and frustration with a couple of them.

    I do claims online and the website works well. I had a credit card loaded one time then all of a sudden, it didn't recognize it. But I realized it was my mistake. Other than that, it's pretty easy. You can get a claim in there in less than five minutes. I first get the thing from American Home Shield then I will get either a text or an email from a contractor notifying me to call them to schedule. One contractor came out and they replaced two faucets. Their guy ordered them and when those arrived, he came back out and installed them. It took two trips.

    The service of AHS has been good. My only complaint was that we scheduled an air conditioner tune-up and evaluation. While the vendor was here doing that, they identified an additional problem with the system that wasn't covered under the tune-up. When I went to schedule the next ticket to take care of that, American Home Shield didn't have the same vendor contracted for that type of service. A completely new vendor has to come out and redo the evaluation and perform the service that way.

    It'll be fine, 'cause it'll work out and there's really no cost difference to me. But it's annoying because while they were here, they took full documentation of what was wrong and what the part numbers were. They were ready to perform the service. They just didn't have authorization. Now, someone else has to go through that whole process again. If AHS is going to offer a service for tuning up air conditioners, offer it through a vendor that you have a contract for them to also repair them. But everything else has been great with AHS.
