    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.

    My sister had this big air conditioning problem. She told us that she had American Home Shield and she walked us through the process of calling them and explaining what happened. Techs came out and were able to take care of what would have been a very expensive fix for her for whatever her monthly had been and the deductible for the repair.

    On a whim, I signed up with American Home Shield and it was very reasonably priced. I did it because of my sister. When I explained the value of the home warranty to my husband, he said, “That’s one on my side of the list. Just go and get it if it's inexpensive.” Thank God I signed up because they fixed our oven. When we did the oven, it might have been a $1,500 fix because it was a software issue. My husband said, “It’s worth its weight in gold."

    They had fixed the air conditioning unit three times too. The techs were fantastic. They were on time and they identified the problem in minutes. All of the air conditioning units in this house are the big brand Carrier. It seems that that is a very popular unit. This summer alone, it's been so hot and two of the units stopped working. The issue was the same part both times. The techs weren’t even here 30 minutes before both units were repaired. My mom's a senior and she lives with me. I have a dog too. My husband and I could deal with AC situation, but the dog and my mother cannot.

    It's so convenient to have American Home Shield and let someone else worry about things. They send the right technician. I like technology with this company. I go online and open my request. I'm assigned to someone in seconds. By the next day, someone's calling me to schedule the appointment then I get those text messages about when they're on the way and who's coming. The issue is taken care of and I don't have to worry. I don't have to follow up either. I'm very pleased with the whole experience. I'm more than satisfied.

    The representative was wonderful, and the visit went great. I needed to get my oven and dishwasher replaced. They're so old that they can't repair it so they recommended replacement. American Home Shield is waiting on us to select a dishwasher. On the other hand, we've been waiting for someone to come and look at our air conditioner since May 18th. The technician was scheduled to come out, and he said that he was having car trouble. Nobody has come out at all, and it's been 108 degrees and I have an infant. American Home Shield said that they're working on getting somebody to come out and they've left the place messages, but they are refusing to reassign it to a different company. I would never recommend this even to my worst enemy.

    American Home Shield seems to respond very quickly. Their integrity has been good. They say they're gonna cover something, and they have. A plumber recently came out very quickly and did a very nice job. We had him out twice. Once, the water heater was leaking, and he had to replace a pipe. Another claim was for a faucet that was leaking, and he had to replace something as well.

    I've been with AHS since 2019 and one of the things I really like is I don't have to figure out who to call. They call the appropriate people and I've had very good luck with the contractors that have come. The garbage disposal was leaking and the tech from Plumb Genius knew what to do. He said I need a new disposal and he had multiple replacements in his vehicle, which I thought was amazing. He was an awesome and very nice young man. It was so fast. Also, I filed an air conditioning claim and it took a little while to get a call back once they got the work order. But it's that time of year we've got 100-degree weather and I knew that it would be a little bit slow. I'm very happy with AHS's service and enjoy that they locate the people I need.

    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.

    American Home Shield replaced the dishwasher and a part in a microwave. They also did Freon in the air conditioner. Then here in Florida, they changed capacitors in the air conditioner almost every summer. The young lady that came out was efficient and wonderful. She was detailed in her work. She was also funny. She came with her own can of bug spray because she knew she had to get in the attic. It was just the funniest thing. She was doing the best she could do. If I could get her all the time to come do something around my house, I would love it.

    As soon as I make a phone call to American Home Shield, all I gotta do is wait for a return call where it's going to give me my date and time. Then that person is gonna call me with a window. So for me, with a military background, I love the process because I am proactive and it's not a reactive thing for me. I love it because once you're given that date and time group, you already know that the contractor is going to be there. So you don't even stress about it. Also, being retired and living on a fixed income, American Home Shield is an ideal thing to possess because it is not a big bill and it can save you from a big bill when you are on a fixed income.

    I'm not too fond of American Home Shield’s service. I called to have my central air conditioner looked at because it wasn't working and when the people came out, they said a part was bad. Then, they had to put the refrigerant in it. The warranty only covered $10 of refrigerant and it cost me $475. I will be canceling it because it was absolutely ridiculous that they only paid $10 of refrigerant.

    In the earlier years, American Home Shield's customer service was terrible. We had one time a few years ago where we had to be reimbursed and it was quite a bit of money. It took months to get a response and they hung up on me. They put me on hold for an hour. But this last year or so has been great. The vendors that have been sent have been professional, timely, and knowledgeable. American Home Shield has also been working really quickly on their responses. I've been doing all my requests online and that has worked really well. American Home Shield also improved on their communication such as follow-up emails. It's great that they have heard the feedback that there are so many dissatisfied customers. We're seeing a lot of effort being made to improve that and that says a lot.

    We had a contractor that was fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough. Even if we have to have repairs that wouldn't be under warranty, I would call them. They're thorough and professional. They explained everything and were neat. You couldn't tell they were here. They gave good suggestions on how to maintain the unit. Overall, we couldn't be happier. I just referred somebody to American Home Shield. It is nice to hear good feedback.

    I never, ever do this, but I have had such a bad experience, I feel the need to. I had my water heater go out so I contacted AHS to service it. The unit was old and the part that went bad was no longer made, so the unit had to be replaced. The contractor hired came quickly and that's where the good experiences ended...

    Over the next four or five days, I was calling between the contractor and AHS, each one pointing the finger at the other as to why there had been zero progression. The only thing American Home Shield was willing to do was to take an authorization from me to cover $150 in uncovered expenses and to offer me a cash-out option so that I could handle the replacement myself! I repeatedly asked what unit would be replacing mine and they would not give me that information.

    Finally, two weeks to the day that I requested service, the water heater was ordered and a service date set for three days later. I received a call from the contractor at 9:30 that morning stating the unit had not arrived and so they would not be able to go forward with the install. I had taken a day off of work. They stated it would be in the next day, so I took yet another day off of work to be there. The next day came and around 9 am, the contractor called again stating that the wrong water heater had been ordered and blamed AHS for the issue. Remember that I had repeatedly asked what unit would be replacing mine.

    Contacting AHS several times that day, they stated that indeed the wrong unit had been ordered and blamed the contractor. They stated that another had been ordered the previous day and that it would be there the same day. When I questioned how that was possible when they just discovered it was the wrong unit 15 minutes prior, they changed their answer and said that it was in process of being ordered. When I pressed further for information, I was told that it had been ordered during our conversation. When I attempted to clarify that, they again told me that they were still reviewing the information and that the unit had NOT been ordered.

    At this point, I was clearly upset and asked to speak to a supervisor from within AHS. I was told to hold and they would see if one was available. After waiting 15 minutes, I was hung up on. Contacting AHS back, I was told that they were not able/allowed to transfer me to a supervisor, but that one would call me back within 48 hours!!! The next day, the supervisor called me back. Keep in mind that this is a call center that AHS outsources from the Philippines. I asked why an AHS employee had not called and they told me that there was no one within AHS who could call because they did not have managers!?!?

    The supervisor spent the next 20 minutes pandering to me while half-listening to my story. He wanted to take no responsibility for their actions or bad information they had given me. He could provide no information as to where we were in the process, when it might be approved, and stated they could not call me once the water heater had actually been ordered. At this point it has been three weeks and no idea when the water heater will be ordered, arrive, or be replaced. When you outsource customer service, it is no longer customer service, it is information services because they have no authority and no skin in the game. Just an awful experience.

    The hot water heater went out and Stewart Plumbing came out and replaced it. They located the hot water heater that matched up and told us that we needed a new pan underneath the hot water heater. They brought a new pan and put it under it. We paid extra for that but they installed everything and had it all done in less than a week. A friend asked yesterday about American Home Shield and we told them it's a great deal. You're paying for your repairs on a monthly basis instead of all at once. And it's a great thing. The only downside is sometimes they're a little slow getting everything done. They did the hot water heater in a week. We've had other appliances go out and by the time they do their troubleshooting, get back with AHS, and they get back and tell the contractor what they want done, it takes too long sometimes. We had an air conditioning go out last summer and it was two weeks before they got it going. But they did get it going.

    We had a leak underneath the slab three years ago. American Home Shield sent out A-1 Plumbing and they were disastrous. But when we had a plumbing claim recently, it went great. The company that came out was very professional and nice. They cleaned everything. They ended up replacing the toilet and everything was great. I've been mostly satisfied with American Home Shield. The large majority of the time, I agree with their assessment, and they send out qualified, trained, and professional people.

    The biggest benefit of having a home warranty is knowing that if something breaks down, we can get it fixed. That gives me peace of mind. We just have to pay the deductible and maybe something extra for something that's not covered. They have relatively good customer service and they usually take care of my needs quickly. American Home Shield has reliable people and they pretty much come on time.

    We used the home warranty when our unit was turning on but it was blowing hot air. A tech came out on a Friday. They couldn't get the part that he needed but he somehow found a part. The tech was excellent and he went above and beyond. He initially said he would probably be back the following week but he knew my husband and I are older people. He figured, “Let me see what I can do.” He went somewhere, got the correct part, and he installed it on a Saturday morning. That took him maybe an hour. We were cool from then on. I was extremely pleased.

    The water was backing up in the dishwasher. But the person that took my claim wrote it wrong. When I called American Home Shield, my initial call to them was a leaky faucet in the kitchen and water backing up in the dishwasher. But I was told that on the ticket, the guy put down about a dishwasher and garbage disposal. So I called the day before yesterday and I spoke to a young lady and she was telling me that it was not in the system for a faucet and that they never received the findings from Metropolitan Plumbing. So she told me to call Metropolitan Plumbing and have them to submit their findings.

    Metropolitan did submit that they did call. I talked to the guy that came out. He submitted his findings to American Home Shield. He told American Home Shield told him that it was not covered under my insurance. I had a problem back with American Home Shield but I never received a call.

    5/23/22 5/23/21 6/2020. I summitted a claim because my AC wasn't working properly. After each request the contractors assured me it was fixed. Since June of 2020 I've been paying American Home Shield Contractors for Freon to refill my AC unit only for it to leak out within 12 months. I've asked AHS reps could they send a contractor out after the job is finish to check the Freon levels to make sure it's not leaking. They told me no it has to be broken. Over the last 2 years alone I've spent over 1k in Freon for a leak that was never repaired. AHS has offer me no compensation for their contractors failing to fix the problem. Not even the $10 off per pound offered by the company because it's over 200$. I made this same request 2020 and 2021 and and the total was over 200$ both times now all of a sudden it's changed. They only guarantee the repairs for 3 months which it takes over 3 months for the Freon to leak out.

    I have a 7 pound tank. I requested that only 3 pounds be put in because of this reoccurring issue. The AHS rep that I talked to 6/9/22 said no, then told me I had to pay for the service before the contactor comes out to complete the service. This is robbery!!! No one should have to pay for Freon every year with absolutely no solution to the problem other than to repay to get it fix. I currently have a request open for the same issue #**. I asked the AHS rep to give me a breakdown of the bill and how much it cost for the Freon they told me it's 80$ a pound without the 10$ discount which would bring make the cost of the Freon $560.00 but they are charging me $704.00. I'm confused as to why I'm being charged 100$ a pound. (I paid for Freon for the last 2 years!!!) Not mention I've taken off of work only for their contractor to be a no call no show.

We tried to explain to Crispy Air when we called and told them to please send somebody back out here. They said it was a Friday and a holiday weekend. They couldn’t come out and could be out Tuesday.

    The second technician came out and he was a genius. He came with the motor and changed it, and the air runs like a champ. We're very pleased now. He was awesome.

    I had a concern with my A/C unit and decided to utilize my home warranty rather than contact my regular A/C company. I waited a week for an appointment with their vendor, Air Doctor A/C & Heating, despite having my own preferred company. The technician didn't really seem bothered by my concerns, but did let me know I needed insulation and the system was overcharged, so he needed to take refrigerant off the system. While this sounded strange to me as my A/C had its 6-month check less than 3 months prior, I agreed. A huge mistake.

    Do not trust the technicians at Air Doctor A/C & Heating. Within an hour of the technician leaving, I noticed my A/C was actually in worse shape. I contacted American Home Shield to let them know of the mistake of their vendor and also set up an appointment with my trusted company the following day. I asked for a refund of the service fee for the error and they refused because of their policies and procedures, so I asked them to send out another vendor to correct the mistake. They couldn't guarantee another vendor prior to my scheduled appointment and it could have taken days for them to satisfy their policies and procedures to get a second opinion.

    Meanwhile, my family and pets were in an extremely uncomfortable and somewhat unsafe home due to the heat in Florida because of their mistake. I expressed my dissatisfaction and asked to have my vendor approved since they couldn't correct the mistake in a timely fashion. They again refused because of their policies and procedures. My trusted provider fixed the damage done and I paid out of pocket. When I called to ask again if they would do anything to rectify their mistake, they still had no response. I opted to cancel my contract and the supposedly non-refundable service fee was immediately offered to try to retain me as a customer.

    At this point, I would never do business with a company that treats customers in such an atrocious manner, so it was too little too late. But apparently, policies and procedures go out the window when it suits them, but not when it is in the best interests of their customers when they make a mistake. I will likely have to go through arbitration if I would like to be reimbursed for their mistake. Try to avoid this warranty company at all costs if you have any other options.

    American Home Shield has been horrible. When I had a claim dealing with electrical work, the contractor didn't want to do the work. They told American Home Shield it was some type of wear and tear issue so they got out of doing the work, but they could bill for that 100 service fee. I also had someone come out to deal with a built-in microwave. It took them three months to get that resolved.

    In the last situation that we filed an incident for the AC unit, we had two contractors come out. The first was an AC rep indicated that there was not enough electrical current going to the unit and that was causing the issue. He recommended that an electrician get involved. Then American Home Shield sent out an electrician. That person indicated that in order for them to do the work as far as replacing the breaker box to the unit, we would have to pay some additional money out of pocket to remove paneling from the house so they can gain access to it. Long story short, we ended up paying out of pocket for another HVAC professional to come out and look at it for a second opinion. The whole issue was resolved by them just resetting the breaker box.

    The two contractors through American Home Shield misdiagnosed the issue. Luckily, we did not have someone do the necessary work that the last technician suggested because that would have been more out of pocket and it would have been unnecessary. We're very dissatisfied with the experience with American Home Shield.

    I used American Home Shield for the replacement of a hot water heater. I still had to pay some out of pocket, but it was nice to have. I called and made the claim. But every time I'm calling in a claim, I get people who don't understand English. So you're calling, getting feedback and you can understand me fine, but I have a hard time making the claim every time. I had to speak to five people. I said my water heater was pouring water out of the side of the water heater and I have a bucket catching it. The rep could never understand what the water heater was. It was very frustrating. Then they finally got a manager on who could understand me a little bit better and got a plumber out there.

    When the plumber came, he was great. He was a nice guy. But it was a company out of Mobile, and I live in Louisiana. So that was weird for me. The water heater had to be changed out and it had to be brought up to code. So I had to pay that portion of it because American Home Shield refused to pay that, which I get it.

He said that I needed something replaced. So they were gonna go through American Home Shield to approve it. When I got home, my downstairs AC wasn't working and it was the AC upstairs that the person was supposed to be there for. I called the contractor and spoke to the customer service person. They connected me with the tech that came out. He said he didn't touch the downstairs. He said it was just coincidence. But what he did was turn off my downstairs unit while he was working and forgot to turn it back on. I figured that out by myself.

    American Home Shield approved the compressor and all I had to pay for was the refrigerant. I made sure I was home when the people came out. The lead came in and apologized for the previous service. But I didn't need a compressor. I just needed the coils cleaned. They did that and everything was working. I double checked and I thanked them for their honesty and apologizing for the previous tech. So ultimately, my experience turned out good because I didn't have to pay extra.

    I had an air conditioning unit that was not functioning. Techs came out and they told me that since it has an old type of Freon in it, it needed to be replaced. They also told me that it's not repairable. American Home Shield advertised that if something's broken, they'll replace it. But that is not true. Looking at my contract, it says that they'll pay up to $1,500 for a new air conditioning unit. The out-of-pocket is $3,000. I called the contractor and what they're covering is about $673 in my lifetime. They were telling me that the air conditioning unit that they're going to purchase for me is $583. I don't understand how it can possibly cost $3,000 to install a $586 air conditioning. Where in the world you could possibly purchase such a thing? They really couldn't give me a breakdown of the out-of-pocket.

    If I'm out 3,000, they should be out the first 1,500. And the contractor, Jar Electric, tried to upsell me a new system. They also said by replacing the air conditioning unit, I would need a new furnace and there was no warranty on the new furnace. The rep couldn't tell me what type of furnace I was paying $3,000 for. I decided to take the cash option. Once I get that, I will cancel with American Home Shield and file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

    American Home Shield replaced our washing machine. But I wasn't satisfied with the people who were supposed to change out the washing machine. They were not able to accomplish that. We've got a busted washer upstairs on the second floor and a brand-new washer in the garage They did not remove the one that was broken because they were afraid to disconnect the connection to the water supply. As a result, American Home Shield contacted McAtee and McAtee sent somebody out that took care of that problem. The tech took the old water hoses off and connected new ones. McAtee was really good. We couldn't get anybody to take the old washing machine out and put the new washing machine in. I had to contact someone who's supposed to be coming tomorrow to hook it up but it's going to be at my own expense and it's going to cost me $200.

    One of the problems I have with American Home Shield is they outsource all their operators and I can't understand a word any of them are saying. The last woman I was speaking to was from Guyana. After a while, communication just breaks down completely. American Home Shield dropped the ball. As soon as I get this washing machine installed properly, I'm going to look for another warranty company because this was a total disaster. I wasn't able to communicate with anybody to straighten it out. Going by this last experience, I'm very dissatisfied.

    My most recent experience was for a leak in the dishwasher that North MS Appliance Repair came out for and it worked real well. The guy was very competent in what he did, made a decision quickly, and got back when he had what he needed. We had to buy a part that AHS did not cover, which was the insulation that had turned moldy. But over 30 years with AHS and the one big problem is a problem every time. If they require us to get a contractor because they cannot find one, they never pay the claims. They always find an excuse, even though we go back and show them where we got authorization.

    The last time this happened was with a claim for the ceiling fan. They could not find a contractor to repair it, we found one, and we were getting authorization for him to repair it. The authorization department did not answer their phone even though he called them several times. We gave him the number for the general call to set up the appointments. They gave him the authorization to go ahead and do it. But once he had finished and filed the proper forms, they denied it because we talked to the wrong department that gave him authorization. We went on with it for five months. Never accept their authorization for you to find a contractor.

I work from home and the person texted me, and he was like, “I’ll be there at 10:00 am.” I told my boss, “I might have to get off the phone for a little while because the guy is coming to fix my AC.” But then he wasn’t here until 10:45. Other than that, I like having my American Home Shield warranty because of the fact that if I do need anything, I can have somebody out here.

    The amazing thing is when I put in a service request, it was super fast. The contractor was there that day. I was stunned by how cool that was. The first time was simple. I just go on there and click “request service.” And there's a little drop-down list of which items I might need, and what's going on, just a couple of words, or a sentence or two and boom, send it. And when I had to contact American Home Shield because it was still acting up, I used their chat service. There was a chat person there that walked me through the steps and, “No, we're gonna send out another person to check it out and make a recommendation on what needs to be done.”

    The AC unit was working, but not very well. So, the contractor came out and cleaned up the outside unit, and checked things out. And they've had to come out a second time because it was working great but it stopped again. Now they detected that there's something more serious going on with the system. There's a little valve that shuts off, so that it stops cooling. It goes into heating mode, which isn't good for summer. Now, they're going to actually fix that. I'm still waiting to hear from that because according to the technician that was here, this is going to require them to have a special trailer. They have to pump out all the Freon. It's almost like tearing down a part of the unit and rebuilding it. But having AHS is peace of mind because knowing that if something does happen to an appliance, air conditioning or the heat, that you have help that there if you need it.

I need to follow up with the contractor a couple of times to set up the appointment, but after about three days, I was able to get hold of him. American Home Shield is way better than Choice. I had a year with Choice. AHS always tries to diagnose the problem first and try to fix the things instead of giving any wrong commitment to the customer.

They gave me a window between 12:00 and 5:00.

All the stuff that's happened to us since we've moved in has been a lot and without the home warranty, I don't know how much money we would have spent. One of our first claims was for the refrigerator that was leaking, and a guy came out about three times. Then they sent a different guy who completely fixed it right away on the first try. We also had a claim for the furnace. It took a really long time for it to get put in. We ordered it in August, and it didn’t get put in until the end of November.

    I had some work done on my AC unit. It was throwing out lukewarm air. American Home Shield's rep was informative. She took the information and was thorough. AHS gave me the contractor's name. I googled them. I had to look up their reviews to make sure the reviews were okay. Because here lately, AHS has been giving bottom-of-the-line vendors, which I'm not happy with.

    The people that came out were very knowledgeable. The guy was funny. He went far and beyond and he fixed it. He came to our home a little late, but it's only because he got hung up at another place working on somebody else's unit. But he was determined and he came out and got it done. I have nothing against that. It was dark, but he put on a hat that had a light on it and he still succeeded. So, he did a very good job.

    But AHS needs to have better vendors. They need to wean out the vendors that are crappy, with a low score, especially like D&J Appliances with a review of 1.2 and they still keep them there. And I'm paying them money every month to get bottomline feeders. I'm not happy with that. That was the reason why I started doing it. Because after D&J Appliances, I knew I would not allow them to send me crappy vendors. And I had to go to the point where I had to express to them that I didn't feel comfortable with this particular vendor in my home. AHS collects money from me on a regular monthly basis but they give me bottom-feeder vendors. That does not sit well with me.

    I’ve tried calling them multiple times, every day. One time, I got ahold of them about a week after that. They went ahead and they gave me quotes, 900 and something dollars to replace the compressor and $3,200 to just replace the whole air conditioner. I was confused about those amounts, because they were a bit higher than we expected. I called AHS and they said they've never heard of those numbers. They've never even heard of the repair. They kept telling us on the phone that they don't know, that they'll keep putting in a request for Frog Pro to ask them to submit their quote.

    We love American Home Shield. They have done everything we needed them to do. My refrigerator and dishwasher got fixed, and my stove got replaced. They also covered the cost of my roof leaks so that I could get my roof replaced. Our last home warranty company always picked contractors that had F ratings on the Better Business Bureau but the contractors American Home Shield has sent out have been fabulous. My roofing guy was phenomenal. They replaced our whole roof in six hours and it's not a little house. They did a pristine job.

    The video analysis that you can do where you can video the problem you're having so that it can be sent to the contractor and they can look at it is the best feature ever. A lot of times, I'd get a contractor who'd say, "We have to come out and take a look.” I would tell them, “I’m telling you exactly what’s wrong with it. Here’s the part number that you need.” But they would still say, "We still have to come out and take a look,” then say, “It’s gonna take us a week to get the parts.” With the video thing, I can say, “Here's the part.

    I had used American Home Shield in the past when we moved to the new house. We were looking for a warranty for the whole house and got a call. It seemed like a good offer from another organization. But after two years with them, we were not satisfied with anything. They didn't cover anything in the house. So, we went looking again and decided that the experience with AHS was very good and we liked what happened there. So, we went back and joined again.

    We had multiple things that were happening. Series of outlets that were no longer working. We had the doorbell that had stopped working. The stove started giving us strange error messages and we wanted somebody to track that down. And he was very good. The breaker was stuck and he was able to get it to move back into the right position. He was very thorough and talked to us very well about what was happening and what might be going on. So, we were pleased with that. We're still having trouble with the stove. We know what it is now. They were able to get the error messages it was showing interpreted. So, we need to call back and make another appointment request to AHS.

    Everything has been good so far. We're looking at some plumbing things we know that are coming up, we want to get on. The only thing I don't like about the AHS service or any other warranty services is you cannot make recommendations to them who's a good plumber or electrician or anything if you had prior experience. So far, that has worked out well for us in other places. But we've used one of the plumbing services that we would like to be working with again when we had to go outside the AHS to do that, to get someone we know who's a reliable service provider.

    We've been in this house for three years now, but it was 26 years old. We knew that it's a lot of all the original appliances. So, we were concerned that if something big came up, that's a hard hit. And we knew finding somebody was so confusing. If you don't have people that have used other companies that can tell you what they think about companies, it's very difficult to weed out which ones are decent coming out, being on time, good estimates, things like that. It's a matter of covering anything that might go wrong.

He said that if the issue was the heating element, the oven would not heat at all. I told him, "I've tried it more than 10 times and I disagree with you." He checked it again and the next time he came out, he said, "Can you go ahead and start? Turn the oven on so it's already preheated when I get there so we can play with it from there instead of waiting." It turned out to be the heating element and I ended up getting a new one. The only weird thing was the tech never gave me a receipt as everybody else does. Other than that, everything is fine.

    American Home Shield has a really nice feature with their premium package. They sent an email about the AC check before the season started. The guy that came found the air handler that was supposed to give out 10 BTUs or what the AC measurement was, was only at five. It was starting to go out so I got a new one. We had to do a second call because the first call was the free check. My deductible was a $1,500 part.

    It's easy to use the portal. I just do it online, and American Home Shield has been pretty prompt. I've had a couple of repairs done, and the only time there was a delay was when they had to wait for a part. When our toilet was making noises, the plumber came and said he didn't see anything wrong with it. He said, “If you hear it again, come let me know. We'll just replace the pieces inside.” After he left, the issue kept happening more often. He came back and replaced all the pieces, and I haven't heard the noise since. He was very good.

    American Home Shield's deductible is a bit too much though. This toilet job couldn’t have been 100 bucks. The pieces were probably $25. I compared their deductible to other competitors' as well, and another company's overall rate for the renewal was a bit higher, but when one has an issue, it was 50 bucks instead of 100. I also didn't like that I had all my items under warranty, but since my fridge ended up being in the garage, American Home Shield wouldn't cover it when I had a problem with it. They said it was in the fine lines. Technically, the coverage book said dwelling, but it didn't say anything about garage. I had to get a separate warranty on that unit, so I could have that covered. That was not cool.

    I like that American Home Shield is responsive and I like the services that they offer. But when we have something that's a service, we don't consistently get the same type of quality on the service people. We had some AC work done and the guy from Grace Heat and Air came out and I knew something wasn't right. It wasn't cooling right and he tried to tell me to just change the filters more. I told him that didn't make sense. He said, "Well, 'cause you have dogs." I told him, "So, it's not getting colder in here because I have dogs. That doesn't make sense." He said, "Well, I put some Freon in it. It should be fine." Then he left and a week and a half later, it stopped working.

    We put in another request for the AC and American Home Shield told me, "Well, that person has to come back out and they have to see it." I told them, "We don't have air. It's going to be 90 degrees. I'm in Texas. That can't be okay." It was a Friday and the contractor couldn't be there till the next Thursday. Those people were obviously just taking the money. He was here less than 10 minutes when he came. Grace Heat and Air are the worst I've ever dealt with before in my life.

    The tech that came out for our spa was very communicative. We had a couple of issues, but he followed up each time and gave different suggestions of what was going on. Sometimes the contractor doesn't always know and I get it. It's trial and error. But he didn't just leave me hanging. Even though he wasn't 100% sure, he still followed back up and that makes a difference. We also had someone for the hot water heater. But he had COVID and he never called us back. I called three times and our water heater was leaking, and then American Home Shield finally reassigned it.

    The coverage for us has been pretty good. But the cost keeps creeping up a little bit. We have an older house, so American Home Shield really helps. I like that we're able to go online and make a call to set up someone to come out. It's not overly expensive for a call to come out. With our pool, it worked out well. We've had a few things on the garage door, and they were pretty responsive, and that's been a big deal. Sometimes, you don't really know who to call when something happens so American Home Shield helps because it guides us through, "Hey, okay, this is who will take care of you," which is great. But they could really work on the quality of service by the service people.

    I can rely on American Home Shield to get things fixed that I can't fix. When I put a claim in for my attic fan, a contractor called me immediately after I got the claim in to make an appointment. They came out there that day. The guy worked in the rain and everything was done in an hour. He put it back at the right temperature for it to come on at 90 degrees. It hasn’t been 90 degrees for it to come on. He tested it. I also just got my AC unit repaired. American Home Shield gave me a new compressor and a new condenser. Although there was out-of-pocket cost, it wasn't as much as I thought it was going to be. I was happy about that.

    Their technicians are professional. Everybody comes with their logo trucks. They have their logos on their shirts. They're very knowledgeable about what’s wrong with the unit and give me feedback. They also call me and set up a schedule. However, on another claim with Comfort Pros, they don't make the initial calls. I had an appointment with them today and I called yesterday to make sure they are coming. But when they come out, they explain to me what's wrong and everything goes well. When they say they're coming, they're coming.

It wasn't working. The guy came out and looked at it. He said, "Normally, I would charge for this." But he noted that I was a single mom and had a lot going on.

    Somehow a Lego had gotten in the water reservoir and had stuck up in the sump pump and there were some rocks in there as well from the bottom of the sump pump. He got it all out and came up with something so that it wouldn't suck up the rocks. I was really impressed. They were a really nice company. But when the techs did my water heater, I noticed that they must have needed a rag to clean something off and they just grabbed a rag from my laundry room. I wish they would have asked me.

    The guy that came out wouldn't replace the knobs on the range. He did just enough to make it work again and that's what I found that American Home Shield does. I'm a little bit disappointed that I'm paying $70 a month for several years. I expect to have a little bit more. They started out at $40 and it's gone up to $70. I will not allow one of their contractors to come back to my property again. They charged me $500 for a refrigerant coolant. We checked the price of that and it was grossly inflated and American Home Shield only paid a part of that. Then two days later, the damn thing went down again and we had to fight them to get that done. They replaced the unit upstairs and they wanted to charge me for upgrades to code standards. But they didn't do any work. I had to take photographs and do stuff on it. Overall, American Home Shield could help me in the case of a catastrophe. But if I put my money in a savings account, I'd probably be better off.

    Overall, American Home Shield is okay but they're not fantastic. You've got to take whoever they want to send to you. You don't get to choose who it is. I had one of the contractors come out and I was having a problem with him. I told him, "Hey, look, man, I don't want that done." He said, "Well, I don't work for you. I work for American Home Shield. I do not work for you and you don't tell me what I can and I can't do." This is the attitude that I've had more than not. American Home Shield just does what they have to do but they're not on my side. They're on the side of making money. Every month that they take that $70, I'm on the verge of canceling.

    We had a claim to American Home Shield for an icemaker. The icemaker took about a month and a half before they decided to fully replace the fridge, which was nice. It just took a really long time between the video diagnosis. They diagnosed the wrong thing, so when the guy came, he had to order a different part. When the next guy came with the next part, it didn't fix the problem because it was an electrical problem. So, it took several weeks and it took several visits. I was without ice and that was frustrating. But eventually, they did replace the whole fridge.

    It was a very frustrating part of the process that we would have to order the part, wait for the part to come, and then we could call to schedule for the next person. That person, usually, was at least 10 days to two weeks out before they could come. Knowing that the part only takes a couple of days to come, it would have been nice if we have started that process much sooner and saved a couple of days. Other than that, when they couldn't fix it, they replaced the item with something comparable. So, I appreciate that.

    Not only are we disappointed with Same Day Air, but we're also disappointed with American Home Shield. It took them 11 days to give me a call back and to make some headway with my AC unit. It is 115 degrees out in the city of Phoenix in Arizona. We have been without an AC unit for 16 days. They came out, did an assessment, and told us that the assessment was that we needed a new unit. The representative came out, wrote up an actual new unit quote, and said that he was going to send it to American Home Shield. But American Home Shield, in turn, was not going to do anything. To talk to somebody and to a supervisor is like an act of Congress. They did not give me any reason and/or feedback.

    They sent out another representative from Same Day Air. The representative said, “Our first one was incompetent and he didn't know what he was doing.” Nonetheless, he said, “We're cleaning the coils and that's going to cost $500.” Then he told me once he cleaned off the coils and took my $500, "Something else is wrong. You need a new compressor which American Home Shield will cover. However you're gonna pay for the refrigerant to fill it out once we take out the compressor and put a new one in.” Now I'm out another $1,200 for AC coolant. I'm close to up to $1,700 for something that could have been rectified by giving me a new unit. The compressor is gonna go out again or somebody's gonna go out again.

    There was an issue with the air conditioner and the technician sent out was very good. But one year ago, I had another HVAC technician come out who I was very disappointed with. He didn't repair the underlying problem and tried to upsell me on services which were not required. AHS could make sure they have well-vetted people that they're dealing with.

    I had three things going on. I had a leak in the kitchen. The tech didn't have it on his truck, so he's downstairs replacing that now. I had a leaky toilet and a leaky faucet which he wound up replacing a thing in. The guy has been fine. He was supposed to come out last week and he said he'd give me a call Tuesday. But he didn’t, so I gave him a call on Thursday. He told me that he was ill. He said, “I'll call you early next week to schedule a time.” He did. He called this morning and said, “I'm thinking today or tomorrow.” He called me an hour ago and said, “If you're available, I'll be out there in about 30 minutes.”

    I have another issue going on with my dryer. The way that AHS is going about it is a little frustrating for me. My dryer was making a loud noise. I requested service. The guy said, “You need a new drum. I'll order it. American Home Shield has approved the purchase. We can't come back out and fix it until you get the parts.” The parts came. They rescheduled the appointment. The guy came out. But, the dryer still does not work at all. When he replaced the drum, it was still making a noise. He told me that the dryer was warped and that he requested that American Shield just go ahead and replace them.

    AHS said, “We'll get a second opinion.” But they requested a second opinion from somebody who doesn't even fix Kenmore appliances. I went online today to look at the request ID but it was marked as complete. I went on the little chat and was able to chat with somebody and told her about it. So they got another repair person coming out to take a look at that.

    I also used the chat and I asked about renewal and what would the rates look like if I want to lower my service fee, ‘cause right now I pay $100 for the service fee. But they were not able to give me that information. They said, “We can make the changes today if you want.” That was the only way that they could pull the trigger and couldn’t even give me a ballpark of what it would look like. That was a little disappointing. They didn't even refer me to anywhere on the website where I could go in and do a mock-up.

    When I turned on the shower, it made this noise. I thought something might have been broken. I called American Home Shield. They said I would be charged and they took my payment. They sent me an email saying that I had been assigned to Grade A Plumbing. Somebody called me to schedule a time to come out. The plumber was very nice. He cleaned up his mess in the bathroom after he made whatever change he made. But he said that there wasn't much he could do as far as noises were concerned as long as there was nothing broken.

    I felt like nothing happened because it's still doing the same thing. It's still making the same noise. He said something about hard water. I was not satisfied. I had another claim in that I was not happy with American Home Shield. It was my air conditioning. Because their commercials say if they can't fix it, they replace it. But they were charging me $4,000 because they said it was normal wear and tear. So, I'm done with American Home Shield as far as I'm concerned.

    I still have an issue that needs to be resolved. Recently, I had some repair done and there's something wrong with the process. I don't know what happened. So, I called the 1800 number, but they just put notes there. I'm at a loss until now. I thought the contractor contacted American Home Shield. So, they repaired it, and now I received a bill from them. I told the contractor, "Why will I pay that? It's between you and American Home Shield. Why will you bill me?" I've had some repairs before. But the last service was terrible. Maybe it's the fault of the contractor because they didn't wait for AHS's authorization.

    All of their services should have some fine print in it. For example, when I replaced my water heater, I paid $600 more. I did a separate check-up on my AC. So, I asked them if, "For example, because it's 12 years old now, if this breaks down, will American Home Shield shoulder?" "Oh no, no, no. I don't know. You'll be paying a lot of money even if you're with American Home Shield." If your AC or heater breaks down. Some contractors are very good, but sometimes you'll be surprised you'll just get repair only. AHS will not replace it. How will AHS handle it if my AC breaks down? There should be some fine print in it. That's why I got this insurance. I will pay less. Some of the policies are not clear. It's not completely relayed to customers like me. Last time, I was surprised. "Oh, really? I have to pay this much?" Some of my friends recommended me to another provider. So, I'm thinking about it.

    One of my AC units wasn't working. The guy who came out checked the thermostat. He ended up replacing the thermostat and something inside the unit itself. I sent the service request to American Home Shield through the app. The app is good. If I have one complaint, it's about a subsidiary of theirs, ProConnect. I used their services one time. Normally, when American Home Shield comes through, I pay on the app and that's it but when I called ProConnect, which was recommended by them, they charged me $186 and they never fixed it.

    Before the guy left, I told him, “Man, please don't leave.” The service was for a dryer vent cleaning, and he didn't go outside. I had actually cleaned the inside of the house myself. I had gone in about eight feet. So, I felt it probably need to be done on the outside but he came into the house and did it. I said, “Man, can you just run the dryer? Because I'm telling you, it's going to fail.” He said, “Hey, if it fails, just call the office again.” I called the office five times. They scheduled me for somebody to come in and redo it. Every time, either an hour before or the day before, they would call me and say, “I have to cancel. Can I reschedule?” On the fifth time they called to tell me that, I just hung up on them.

    When I called to complain, they told me, “Well, you don't really have to use them. You could have used anybody you wanted to.” I said, “But your site is recommending these guys." I don't think that's fair. $189 and my dryer still doesn't work. I still have to call somebody else in to come and repair something that I paid them to repair. Every time American Home Shield came out, they took care of me. I like the ease of using AHS. I don't really need to have to talk to anyone, even though they will call me and follow up. I can do everything online. When they tell me they're going to be here, they're going to be here, and they’d be here in the window timeframe that they give me. The response time is very good.

    The dishwasher wasn't working. A very nice and professional guy came out and put an electronic board in. It worked for a couple of days. Then as I was walking around the house, I could hear that it was making noticeable alarm noises even when it wasn't on. Then it just stopped working. So, I called back and they sent someone out a week or two later and put another board in. Now, it seems to be working.

    I got the prompts first when I did the claim, and then I eventually got a person. They got on the phone pretty quickly. I didn't have to wait very long. I had a little trouble getting someone out here initially because of COVID. The repairman that does this area apparently was exposed. So, it took a couple of weeks to get them out here. But after that, he came out and it's been no problem since. I kind of forgave him for that. I think they should have more than one guy available, but I dealt with it.

    The few times I've had to use AHS, their service has been very good and I really needed them. I'm happy with American Home Shield. I don't think I've wasted my money at all. I have had them since 2008 at least in my other home. I got lucky there because I just bought the house.
