    For some reason, I was misinformed as far as the payout. I know I had to pay $100 out of my pocket but I thought that American Home Shield covers my Freon and that was not the case. They cover $10 on a pound. I'm saying, "What's the purpose if it's costing me $150 a pound?" It's costing me $150 a pound and I already paid a 100. It would be up to the customers to pay the difference. My unit was completely empty. Other than that, the claim process was good. They got me somebody out fast.

    The air conditioning wasn't cooling and apparently, there were some problems with the thermostat. The techs got out here very quickly. They were ready to come the next day except I have to work. So, I had to schedule them then. They did a great job, were very attentive, listened to everything, and interviewed me. That was really good. Some things that I said kind of triggered some things for them to check. So, their expertise in troubleshooting was really exceptional.

    The claim submission process was pretty easy. The only thing I'm a little disappointed with Home Shield on is that depending on the problem that I have, I don't think 30 days is enough to make sure that the problem is really taken care of. If I have like a slow leak in the coil, you're not going to really realize that the leak is there until way after 30 days.

    The first time AHS sent somebody for my microwave, the guy looked at it, and said, "I don't work on microwaves that are not under the hood of the stove." We had to find somebody else. It happened pretty quickly. On the same day, AHS found me somebody else that works on my GE. The tech came and put the microwave down. He opened it up, cleaned it up, changed some stuff and put my microwave back to work. He was very professional. He was doing his thing and had a place to put the microwave. He cleaned the place after he finished working. I like AHS because they send professional people that know how to work their thing.

    Sometimes I like American Home Shield and sometimes I don't. They say that they don't want to pay for this or that. But I'm keeping them because you never know when something's gonna go broken or that you're gonna need something and you won't have to come out of your pocket for the full amount. I like the last plumbers that came out. If I had to use any other plumber, it would be the plumbers that they sent out the last time. When they came in, they got to the problem. They didn't cut corners with me like the last people that came out for my plumbing problem. I liked their customer service. They explained everything and got the problem resolved without saying that they would have to call American Home Shield.

    We were with a couple other companies prior to American Home Shield and we found them to be the best group that we’ve had. So, we continue to work with them. They've done what they said they were gonna do, which is the good part. They followed through and they've returned phone calls. In today's day and age, that's a rarity. This is the third year we will have a contract with them and we've gone a year without a claim, why you have a home warranty. But we’ve had three claims with AHS. Our washing machine broke and we got the parts in the mail the other day, and the guy is coming on Friday to install what he needed. We also had a claim because the wires weren't capped on the electrical panel. I won't fool with it because when you turn it back on, who knows what damage I've done. I don't even care if the electricity is off. So, we had a guy come out to do that.

    We also had an inspection on some of the covering on the air condition that goes on top. Over the years, it degraded and that had to be replaced. Then, we had to do an air condition check to make sure all the units were fine and working. We’re getting ready to sell our home and when you sell a 20-year-old home, sometimes that's important to have that information so we did that. Everything's been done with the exception of the washing machine. It's all working out.

    When I first started dealing with AHS, it was like the lottery. You'd say what's wrong and they would say who you would get. I said I was not a big fan of the company and I would rather have company Z that also does work for them. But AHS said they couldn’t do that. It was a random selection. Over the course of the three years we've been with them, we can now request. When we had the air condition repair, I said that two years ago, we replaced the air condition and they sent out XYZ company. And they said they would get the same company for me.

    We had someone initially come out from McCormick to do a yearly checkup on the air conditioner. He couldn't get the thermostat to work. Then he got it to work through the furnace area. He said we needed a new thermostat. So we set up with American Home Shield again and we paid the $100 to have someone come out. This time, Young Mechanical came out and the tech was so very experienced that he came in and he said, "You don't need another thermostat, it's just wires were crossed." So he fixed it immediately and put some Freon in the air conditioner. He was amazingly knowledgeable about what he was doing. I would definitely send him on more jobs. Our experience with American Home Shield was great. If we have a catastrophe, it's a really good deal.

    I like that with AHS, you have a backup when things break down. I had a claim recently for my refrigerator. The gasket around the doors needed repair. The water was settling on my shelves in the refrigerator. The tech cleaned some parts in there and then ordered gaskets to go around the door. When they came in, he did the rest of the repairs. It's working fine now.

    One time, my air conditioner was messing up. They had to order a motor forward. It was really hot. It took about three weeks for that to get straightened out. They had to wait for the part to come in. But when the part came in, it was the wrong part. So, I still had to wait. I ended up buying the air conditioning units. But when my water heater went out right after I first got American Home Shield, the techs came out and changed the hot water heater out. Later on, my washing machine also went out. They tried to repair it but couldn't, so they replaced it. I'm satisfied with American Home Shield.

    It's been a really good relationship with AHS. They did a great job for me in my first year and I'm going to keep using them. It's worth paying the fee just so that I don't have to worry. Recently I had a claim for my AC and it was an exercise in the hilarities. I have a heat pump system which means it's both the heating and air conditioning. It's the same system that went out the first winter that I was here and froze my pipes. The pipes burst and water went everywhere and destroyed the floor. The techs said, “Oh, you just don't have any Freon. We'll put some more Freon in."

    Two weeks later, I'm not getting anything and they go, “Uh-oh. We found that you have a leak. So we think we found the leak. We fixed the leak. Here's some more Freon.” Two weeks later, it wasn't working again. They're like, “Oh, my God. What the hell is happening?” This has happened every single year since I moved in. Last year, they said, “We looked through everything. We could not find the leak. The only thing we can think of is that you did some construction here. The pipe in the wall here probably has a hole in it.” So they built an extra pipe outside the house and then put a cover on it. The total bill was $1000 and they were like, “Okay, it's working now. We think that fixed it.”

    A few weeks ago, I called the air conditioning people again and I have no Freon again. This is the fifth time that it's all disappeared. They found another leak and said, “Dear God, I seriously hope that this fixes it.” Freon is very expensive and AHS has only charged me for the first Freon. If that has anything to do with AHS, that was totally worth it. I love the feeling that I'm somehow protected if something goes wrong.

    But I'm not thrilled that I mostly deal with a computerized system and a phone tree. When I call, it's just, “Would you like to start a new service call? Would you like to continue an old service call?” The few times I talked to somebody, it was somebody with a very thick accent and I could barely understand them. It was a bit confrontational. I left that, feeling pretty pissed off. Other than that, when I'm dealing with the service people who have come out, they've all been really good.

    The last two times I called, I haven't had an issue. But previously, I called in a request for my furnace and when the contractor came out, they said it was electrical. So, American Home Shield made me pay a second deposit, which was unfair. But neither here or there, I still had to get it done. Also, it’s hard to understand reps that can't speak English. When getting calls for people in the United States, AHS should make sure their people speak good English.

    When I need a service person to come out, they come out and do what they need to do. So everything's going well. The AC went out again. So the contractor is gonna come today and look at it again. The first time they came, it was blowing hot air and then, I turned it off for three days. When they came and turned it on, it started blowing cold air. So they didn’t do anything. But now, it went back to blowing hot air. But the contractor was professional. They were good people and on time. Everything went well.

    I’ve used American Home Shield a few times and so far, everything’s okay. They always handle and take care of my needs. But sometimes, they want you to wait a whole week. For my AC claim, the contractor said they couldn’t come out. But I have my mom and dad who are in their 80s, and they need this for medical reasons.

    The air conditioner wasn’t cooling. It was super low on freon. The first people AHS tried to send out didn’t even come to this area. I reached out to American Home Shield and they found someone to come out. The technician filled the freon because we have the policy where it covers this freon percent through AHS. He said that since it's an older unit, there might be a leak. He didn't know and we would have to monitor it.

    We had a water leak with water bubbling the drywall coming from the attic and pouring into an electrical outlet. They were going to send a plumber. I called in them in the middle of the night.

Couldn't get an answer from the assigned HVAC. They reassigned us, again no one came. They charged us, but no one came. I had to hire another company and it cost me $580. I was short one pound of freon and they cleaned out the pan up in the attic.

    I've used American Home Shield twice this year. I was very pleased with Sunbelt Electric. With the other guy that came out prior for my refrigerator, we really couldn't target what the problem was because it was intermittent. I did eventually have to replace the refrigerato because I wasn't gonna have this intermittent stuff going on, but that had nothing to do with them because he did all the tests that he needed to do. Because it was so intermittent with the temperature inside the freezer and refrigerator, it was kind of hard to pinpoint the problem.

    American Home Shield did replace the fan that was in my dining room area. They couldn't repair it, and they actually replaced it with something better than what was in there. So, I'm happy with that. I do like the fact that you can get ahold of them but the thing I don't like about it is, everything is automated. When you call, everything's automated. It's almost like you cannot get a human being to talk to. I want to be able to talk to somebody, and there's so much automation that deals with it. I kept pushing this one button about my fan, and it kept asking me about my ceiling. I was like, “No, it’s not my ceiling. It’s my ceiling fan.” I don't want to do this automation stuff. I want to be able to have a button that says, "After it does all the automation, if you still haven't gotten your answers, push zero to get a human being."

    I do like the fact that AHS does give you the name of the company and their phone number. That way, you can contact that company if you haven't heard from them within a 24-hour period or if you want to contact them prior to 24 hours. Unfortunately, I made a call on a Saturday. Sunbelt Electric wasn't open. I understand that. So, I had to wait till Monday. I called them first thing when they opened up, and I was able to get an appointment.

    The service with American Home Shield is a little hit or miss. The agents on the phone that we deal with don't necessarily seem to be very capable of accommodating things when we're asking for it. On most of our most recent calls, we asked for particular things. Our air conditioner needed repair recently and they were very difficult in trying to accommodate getting someone out in a timely fashion. We were told three times that someone would be out that evening. They've provided some inaccurate information, which caused us to have to endure things a little longer than we would want it to have. Their customer service seemed very confused and they tell you one thing but it has never actually what has happened. They need to improve on it. Their ability to understand us seems a bit difficult.

    I like American Home Shield's flat fee of $75 each time I need something taken care of, particularly if it happens to be a high dollar amount repair. The only thing I don't like about American Home Shield is that I don't have the same company coming out each time I need something. When I need my condensation lines on my air conditioning unclogged, I'm always getting somebody different. That's the only thing that I don't personally care for. I'd rather be able to develop a rapport with the company rather than have somebody different each time. As far as the AC is concerned, the last two that I had, Crispy Air and Consolidated hadn’t addressed the issue more thoroughly.

    I went to schedule my service online the last two times, and I was not able to do so because they changed my account number. They changed my telephone number and did not update my dashboard. So, I had to call to reschedule. I prefer to do my claims online, but with the service call prior to this one for the plumbing issue, the representative I spoke with said that she would update the system to reflect my new policy member, and it was never changed so that I could do my service call online the next time. The person that I spoke to for my last service walked me through how to do that on my own, and she gave me my new policy number over the phone. Now, I have the correct policy number. So, I should be able to log in and schedule service online if I need to.

    American Home Shield has good coverage, but depending on what state you're in, they either have great contractors or they have contractors that you have to be very wary of and make sure they don't take advantage of you. I had American Home Shield cover my house in Hawaii and then I cancelled it. But they are covering my house in Nevada and my house in Ohio. I actually had two houses in Ohio but I sold one. In the house that I sold, the toilet was leaking and the leak was coming through the floor. So the plumber came out, looked at the job, and said he had to do a seal but he didn't have the tools. He had to go get the tools. Then he charged American Home Shield as if he got paid and the job was done.

    American Home Shield called the plumber with me on the other line, and I told him, “You came out and said you didn't have the right tool. And then you went ahead and billed them said the job was finished.” At first, he said, “Oh.” Then he came and nobody was home. We had him on the Ring doorbell but then he said he didn't remember. He had so many customers that he didn't remember who he finished. I told him, “You charged American Home Shield not knowing who you charge and what you did for them? Because you never came back and finished the job.”

    Currently, I have American Home Shield in a second Indiana home, and I sent a claim for my upstairs shower. The plumbing agency they hired came out and said they needed approval because they gotta take off the plastic wall. I called American Home Shield and said, “Hey it's been like a month and I haven't heard back.” They told me, “Oh, he needed approval and according to our records, the approval was sent.” So on my behalf, American Home Shield again called. We cannot use our shower since March and we're a family of six and an infant using one little bathroom downstairs. It is now June and the plumber has been notified three times already.

    When I had a claim for my dishwasher, the guy said they couldn't take off the top because somehow, they planned on fixing the dishwasher when they should have just taken it out and put a whole new one in there. Now, we've got to take out our countertop and we have all these parts. It’s almost like they’re rebuilding this whole dishwasher and it’s causing us grief.

    When American Home Shield did do my water heater, the person that came out was really good. They got the water heater changed but they were going to charge me a removal fee to take out the old one so they just left it and I had my husband take it out. I recently used American Home Shield in Las Vegas when my AC went out. Their technician called me the next day. It was a Saturday. I missed his call and he already left the office. The next day, I got ahold of him and right away, he had an appointment that next Monday, which was the next day. Then he came out, did what he had to do, and the AC was working. So far, when I used American Home Shield for the AC in Las Vegas, they were wonderful and quick. It was great service.

    I've had the worst possible experience with any company I've ever used. I called April 26th which was 31 days after the policy was taken out. I told American Home Shield what was wrong and they sent a technician. He came, spent 10 minutes and said the dishwasher needed a new motor and the whole thing was fried. He also said it would be 7 to 10 days on the part, which I wasn't happy about. He called me back about two days later and said he needed to come back out and re-diagnose the problem. He hadn't even ordered the part and he already told me 7 to 10 days. He came back out, spent an hour diagnosing it and came up with the same diagnosis. He said the part was back ordered and did not know when it would be in. I said, "I want a new dishwasher. I'm not gonna wait indefinitely for a part to come in when you can't even give me any information." He walked out the door and said, "This is between you and American Home Shield."

    American Home Shield said they could not find a new technician to take over. I told them, "If you cannot give me a dishwasher, I want my money back on this policy so I can go buy my own dishwasher." The policy was about $750 and they told me that they would keep $220 and refund the rest. I said, "I'm not giving you $220 for 31 days of service and you can't fulfill your obligation. That's not right." They told me that was the only way - I would either lose $220 straight off the top or I could wait it out. I waited it out.

    They kept asking for 48-hour extensions at a time. I gave them two of those to find me a company to come service it. I live in Jonesboro, Arkansas. It's got 100,000 people. The only reason I took the policy in was because they said I would not have any trouble finding technicians to service me if I had a claim. They had to have the first company come out of Paragould, which is a good 30 minutes away. He came twice. They had a second company come in who, again, also ended up coming two times before the problem was completely diagnosed. Five times, they came to my house but I did not get a gift card to replace the dishwasher until last night.

    American Home Shield did not, in any way, take care of me. It was 40 days plus with no dishwasher because they wouldn't honor their agreement. They couldn't fix it. They couldn't get me a part. They should have immediately issued me a gift card. To top it all, the way their email comes out, it gives you two choices. You can choose to either do some kind of cash out or a gift card. But they won't tell you what it's worth until you click into "Yes, I accept the gift card." Once I did that, I was committed to the gift card, which was only for $714. My dishwasher is three rows, stainless on the inside, stainless on the outside. That's supposed to cover installation, haul away, and a new dishwasher. That ain't gonna cover all that. They cheated me and told me I selected that.

    American Home Shield provided a good service and the technician that came out was very helpful and professional. He also gave me some options for a maintenance program with their company to come out and clean everything out once a year. American Home Shield will not cover certain items if they're not maintained and I needed to have them maintained anyway, so I'm going to get with them and get them to come out and do a yearly service.

    So far, I've used American Home Shield to have all my locks rekeyed when I moved in, which was a benefit. It was cheaper than me just hiring a locksmith. I had a refrigerator fixed and the person AHS sent out also provided good service. I'm real happy with having American Home Shield.

I went ahead and did it, then I turned right around, made another phone call and found out his price was drastically higher than the next person I called. That person told me that even if I didn't use them, I did not need to use these people because they were way too high.

    I made one claim, but AHS was able to establish that it wasn't working from the time that we bought the house, and that's kind of fair to me. However, if an appliance needs to be replaced, there could be an option of paying out of pocket to go above a builder grade replacement. When I had the hot water heater go out at my old residence, it was approved for a 40-gallon builder's grade model. I worked it out with the installer and told him I'd pay out $400 out of pocket to get a nicer one. He came back and he apparently wasn't supposed to do that at all.

    I had somebody come out through American Home Shield for an appliance and for plumbing. The plumber had me order the parts that I needed for my repair, which is definitely out of the ordinary. I'm a contractor by trade, so it's not something that is normally done. It's not put off on the customer to order their parts. If I order something incorrectly, then that's on me and not on them. AHS still hasn't resolved a problem. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t. I'm not sure how much longer I'm gonna keep with it because it doesn't make sense to me. I'm paying for the services but I'm not really getting the services.

    I did call American Home Shield because they told me the wrong information on one of the products in question. It was a Whirlpool tub and they were telling me that was made by Mellon and turns out that it’s not made by Mellon. So, now they gotta come back out here to do their job and figure out who the Whirlpool was actually produced by, so they're going to have to order it this time. I'm not going to do it. I did with the parts for the tub but I'm not going to do it anymore. I'm a consumer, I'm not the contractor. I shouldn't be ordering anything. I hired them to relieve me of the stress of that, and unfortunately, I didn't get relieved of the stress of that.

    When I called American Home Shield, they weren't very happy either. So they contacted those contractors back and they're supposed to be back out here again on Thursday of this week. For the amount that I'm paying, I shouldn't be doing that. They should be doing their own due diligence as far as ordering the parts, making sure the right parts are being ordered, doing their own research, and making sure that the information they do give me is correct. As of right now, I'm still waiting on that guy to come back. I'm not really happy at all.

The other situation was just very frustrating. Overall, American Home Shield's service is good. The product is just not so great. There was a time when there was also ductwork up there that was old and falling down and American Home Shield wouldn't cover any of it.

Then the company itself texted me before they showed up with the name of the person that would be showing up. The company was great. For a while, I wasn't sure if having AHS was worth it because I didn't have any reason to use it and I was paying $60 a month and that's like $720 a year. With this particular experience that I had, it seems like it's a good service to have. For now, I'm gonna keep it.

    I bought the policy back in February, but they wouldn't invoice me for 30 days. I understand it's not becoming effective for 30 days, but normally, when you go to close on a house, you buy the policy and you get refunded for it by the seller. It was a little unconventional. The communication has been really poor. I haven't received anything kind of formal in writing other than some more advertising type emails. I'm not too satisfied thus far.

    Worst company ever. Kitchen faucet was broken. Called them and I was told to pay $75 for service fee. Tech came, checked and told me that he will ask AHS to order a new faucet and then he will come back and install it. Did wait for about a week, nothing happened. Logged in to check to status and found that case was closed without informing me. Called and was told that faucet broke due to excessive force, so, they will pay for it. Can't believe it. Who would apply excessive force on faucet? These guys simply robbed me.

    I've been happy with the people that American Home Shield has sent out to deal with some issues that I've had. The tech from Quality HVAC came out quick, and it was on a Saturday, to just take a look at what was going to need to be done. He was able to assess the problem and he put a temporary fix on it for now. He said that there was an issue that might reoccur. It has to do with a drain that's partially plugged with some algae with my air conditioning unit and it was something that probably was not covered under our insurance. It’d cost about $1,400 to get it fixed if it fails.

    I’ve had air conditioning unit issues in the past and one was a wiring problem that was easily fixed. The other was a frozen unit in our attic where this thing is, and the repair guy fixed that easy enough. And right now, we're cruising. We had another issue with plumbing where our hot water heater failed and the contractor came out and replaced it. It's been a little bit of a money pit here in the house. It’s an older house, so we anticipated that. But still, it’s tough. Being new to the area, it's hard to find people to do the things when things fail and it's nice to have the home warranty that have people assigned to do whatever issues come up. Plus, it's handy. The downside is having to pay the 75 bucks every time somebody comes out, and it might be just a little thing. But it's all good.

    We like American Home Shield's service. We had the highest level of service. The only thing that we have to pay is the $75 service fee. The only hiccup that we had was when we were first arranging a visit from a plumber. Somehow the wires got crossed. At that time, we were only at the house on weekends. For some reason, our appointment was rescheduled without our knowledge to a day that we weren't going to be there, but a couple of calls resolved that. The contractor that came out was absolutely great. We found out we're going to need a new water heater soon. There was a problem with the thermocouple unit firing for the pilot. It wouldn't turn over, and he did a couple of things and it turned over and it hasn't turned off since. So, that's a beautiful thing. Our experience has been good so far.

He communicated with American Home Shield and then he investigated and learned that that part was not available.

    Every time I log in, there is a login error and that's been happening for a few months now. The only way you can get in touch with American Home Shield is through phone. My air conditioner wasn't working and I was having this problem since last year. I tried a personal contractor even before I got in touch with American Home Shield. I tried with Google Nest to see if it was an issue with the Nest unit. Finally, I called American Home Shield. Their contractor came out and did what they had to do. They verified everything but couldn't find the fault at that time. We ambled along for six months, not sure what was happening.

    At that point of time, I gave a poor feedback to Union Express. They were upset but I told them that feedback was not on their service, but in terms of the issue resolution for me. My thermostat wouldn’t change. Even if I put it at 75, it still kept running at 84. But they couldn’t check the outside unit because it was not running on cool as it was winter and the temperatures were not too up. This time around, as the problem continued into the summer, I reached out to American Home Shield who contacted Union Express. They came out again. With the temperatures up, they were able to identify that the AC condenser fan was gone. They were able to replace it and get everything back up and running.

    We were stuck in a hot house for over a week, and there was no sense of urgency by American Home Shield, trying to find a different company that could service us sooner. So it was a nightmare. There was a power outage in the community and the AC wasn't turning on at all. When the guy came, he had the part. But we waited for a little over a week for the guy to come out. This happened on a Friday and he didn’t come out till the following Friday. I called American Home Shield and asked, “Is there a different company you guys can use? Do you have availability?” But they said, “No, we already have it booked with them. That’s all we can do. You have to wait on them.” It didn’t sound right because they work with multiple companies. We had a similar issue with the AC two years ago, but it was resolved a lot better and quicker.

    The benefit of having American Home Shield is the ease of knowing that you pay the monthly charge, but you don’t necessarily have to come out of pocket a huge amount. We had a refrigerator go out a couple of years ago, and that was taken care of also. That is the great part about it. But from the time we started till now, the service has gotten a little bit complacent. When we first started, the service was really, really good. But over the years, the consistency hasn’t been there. American Home Shield should have the representatives be able to communicate with the company instead of waiting several days before booking it.

    I had a horrible experience with my home warranty as I was left four months with no air. I left them and went with American Home Shield. I saw some decent reviews about them and there were a couple of people at my job that had them. I used the home warranty when I got my refrigerator fixed last month. The issue was the freezer part was running water. A tech showed us when he was doing it. It just froze in the back and clogged it up. He fixed it for us, cleaned up the water, and told us not to keep stuff too close to the back. He was excellent.

    I also had an electrician come through American Home Shield because the light in the garage wouldn't work. It was the wiring and it wasn't just the light that didn't work. They were backwards actually. In about 10 minutes, the electrician fixed all that. My plan with American Home Shield went up to $25 and I expected that. Other than that, I had no problem as far as going online, calling, or getting a service.

    The air conditioning system needed coolant. I set up the claim online and they got back to me with the technician in that area. Billy's A/C contacted us and said when he would be able to get there. He sent a text and he showed up on that day. He was great and according to the tenants that rent from us, everything is working fine now. From what I've experienced with AHS so far, I haven't had any issues and hopefully, it will remain that way.

    I had problems with my AC unit. It's still an ongoing process with American Home Shield. They still haven't been able to completely fix my unit. The techs have been out here about five times. Every time they come out, it's a different issue, but AHS was able to send out the company pretty soon. It's just that we've been dealing with this for over a month now and we’ve been without AC the whole time. American Home Shield has been decent and helping us as best as they can. They've been able to reach the company and get them to notify me that I need them to come back out. I've had some previous repairs too and all those services were done.

    So far, the experience has been good. Initially, they were very pushy to ask me to buy it. But I went with my friend's recommendation and that was the reason I bought it. One good thing about the service is they keep on sending reminders to do a particular service. However, I went with the most expensive plan but the copay seems to be very high for this plan, so I might look for something cheaper next year.

    I'm a first-time homeowner and it's been pretty easy to just put in a claim, have someone come out, and schedule it around my time. I used the warranty to get my dishwasher repaired and Hein Sight was sent out. The tech was very professional. He let me know exactly what was going on and that he needed to order the parts and come back. It went pretty quickly. As soon as the parts came in, he told me when the next availability was to come out and asked if that was okay. He was very good at communication.

    My air conditioning and my heating went out at the same time, and the techs repaired the air conditioning portion. I haven't called them back for the furnace yet, because it was more immediate to get the air conditioning unit operating. Still, it was an excellent experience for me. I got the work that I needed to get done in a timely manner. They were also very professional. They did a very good job, very thorough, and although they gave me a window of time that they were going to come, they gave me a call within the hour and said, “Okay, your technician is on his way.” It was beneficial to me because they worked around my schedule. Overall, it is worth it to have a home warranty like American Home Shield. When you have major issues with appliances or things like your furnace or air conditioning go down, instead of paying for a new unit, you just pay the service fee and they'll come out and fix it.

    I did the report for our water heater on the app and then the tech contacted me that evening, saying he would come out and look at it Monday. He came out and looked at it. He told me that there was a plumbing permit that needed to be done and it was part of the contract. He said American Home Shield would let me know that it was out of pocket. It was outside the $100 deposit that I had to give American Home Shield. So I got that ready.

    The tech made the appointment on Sunday and then he came back to the house on Tuesday morning. He had it done in less than two hours. I gave him the plumbing permit money and it was done. Then American Home Shield called me and told me, “Oh, by the way, there’s gonna be a plumbing permit, and it’s gonna be out of pocket.” I told them, “Well, he’s already got his money, and the project’s already been done. So, you’re a little late on informing me.” But the tech and his crew seemed very professional. They were quick and cleaned up after themselves. Everything seems to be working fine. But when I had the air conditioning problem, it seemed that American Home Shield only had one vendor available, which was kind of frustrating. It took longer to get the air conditioning done than the plumbing. But other than that, I haven’t had any issues.

    When I made the appointment for the microwave, I called and it was a $125 service charge. I paid that upfront with a credit card. The tech fixed the microwave and did a really good job. Earlier this week, I got mail from American Home Shield and they were asking for another 125 service fee. So, I called them and got to their pay center. I talked to the individual on that end said that it's taken care of and the bill didn't have to be paid.

    Having a warranty with them is great. I like the timeliness of it. When I make the appointment, they call and make sure who is going to be coming to the house. But when I had Home Shield before, the service charge was $65. That has change though and I understand that.

    I've had American Home Shield for 23 years in this house. When we first got here, the air conditioning units were old. They kept replacing them and kept sending people that didn't seem to know what they were doing. So I independently bought a Trane, which is much nicer than what they were replacing. That's the one that we've been having trouble with. It has been out now almost three and a half weeks.

    When you call American Home Shield, you get put on hold all the time, and nowadays, you get somebody in the Philippines. The rep had a lot of trouble understanding what I was talking about. We had this thing about the $75 tune-up on your machine and you could pay for two machines. I called and told her, “I have two machines I'd like to have the check-up on.” She said, “No. If you're going to have two machines, is it a service call?” I replied yes and she said, “You'd be charged another $75 if there was something wrong with it.” She insisted that I make the claim about two air conditioning units. I wanted to do a tune-up because I thought maybe it needed more freon. I would have to pay for the extra freon and that would be great. But no. She didn't think that I should get what I was asking her for. She thought I should get this other thing instead. She told me she was writing it up as there were problems with two machines.

    In the past, that same air conditioning unit twice had certain things burn out on it. American Home Shield had somebody who was about 10 minutes away from my house. But this one was from West Point, Virginia, which is way far away from where I live, West Richmond. People that don't know the state have no idea. Two men came and were not here very long. One of them said that he had checked and I should turn it off completely. I shouldn't try to run the fan part because it was creating in a vacuum when it was on air conditioning. If it was on heat, it would blow hot air through. It had been off 24 hours when he came because I wanted him to see it. It was a Friday afternoon, and he said, “You're going to need a part and American Home Shield is going to have to approve it. There's nothing more I can do.”

    It was it was a week ago, Friday. I called American Home Shield on Saturday to make sure he had sent in the claim. I got another lady from the Philippines. I asked, “Do you have the claim for me?” She replied yes and wanted to talk to me about it. She was gonna send it to the adjuster. I asked when would the adjuster get it. She said in 24 to 48 business hours. On Tuesday, I called K&J, and they said they hadn't gotten my claim from the adjuster yet. They checked and it had been approved. She said, “I will order a part after you pay 1,200 dollars." She said American Home Shield only covers parts and labor and I had to pay for refrigerant which is $135 a pound but they're gonna cover $10 a pound. I was paying $125 for nine pounds which was very different from $2,400. She said I had to pay for the modification.

    I paid her on the spot with a debit card. I asked, “Would you send me an email or a text to tell me that you have ordered the part and it’s available?” She said, “It's a Trane so we have to use Trane parts. It's either going to be from Richmond or from Texas.” Richmond is a 15-minute drive from me. Texas is a little bit farther. I said, “I need to know if it's coming from Richmond or Texas. Can you give me an installation date?” She said, “No, because we don't know when the part is gonna come in.”

    In the meantime, we've been having 92, 93 degrees temperature. I am suffering from the heat just as much as the pets, and I have asthma and diabetes. I know they can work faster than this. When I had a dishwasher that wasn’t working, I got a plumber through American Home Shield. He pulled out my machine and said, “This dishwasher is so old. I can't get parts for it. I'm gonna tell them it has to be replaced.” He did and within a week, I had a new dishwasher installed. They gave me a choice of lots of dishwashers to choose from. I could pick what I wanted and either pay a little bit to cover the difference in the cost of a dishwasher nowadays or get a fancier one than I had. I got a nice three-level dishwasher.

    It’s been horrible with American Home Shield. One of the AC units started having problems and they sent out US Air. This guy, Marvin, came several times. One time, he said it was this. One time, he said it was that. He put a new thermostat and a motherboard in. The last time, he said it needed a card up in the attic to that unit, which was the downstairs unit. He left here and never said a word to me about anything else. The next thing I know, I got a notice from American Home Shield saying it has been refused because he said it was a surge. I've lived here 13 years, and I've never had a surge.

    I called in to question that. Their people in the Philippines offered to send another firm out as a second opinion. They sent Quality Air out. Trey checked everything. He said, “I don’t feel it needs a new card. You did not have a surge. Had it been a surge, it would have caused other things to happen.” As he walked out, he said, “I want to get somebody, a higher technician than me, come check.” He left and I never heard from anybody. I waited, gave him two weeks, but I never could reach him. One day, I held on nearly an hour. I have, to this day, never been able to talk to anybody there.

    Every you call American Home Shield, you end up with somebody in the Philippines. It used to be, when I would call, I would talk to somebody in the United States. Now, it's never anybody. I have asked them repeatedly, “Please connect me to someone,” because I was having so much trouble understanding them. They would say they couldn't do that. I called about two weeks ago and talked to a man in the Philippines who understood. He tried to call Quality Air. It was 4:20. He said, “They don’t answer. They close at 4 o’clock.” But if you call them, they say, “We assign between 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning, 12:00 and 1:00 at noon, 5:00 and 6:00 in the evening.” Yesterday, again, I tried all day long but never got them. I couldn’t get anybody at US Air or at Quality Air.

    According to the people I would talk to, Quality Air apparently never responded to American Home Shield of what Trey told me about it was not a surge. In the meantime, I had a problem upstairs. American Home Shield gave it to Blue Sky. Blue Sky promptly notified me and was right on the ball. The guy came right on time, got it fixed and left. I started calling American Home Shield again about what happened to Quality Air. At that point, the lady in the Philippines got confused. I tried to explain to them, “Blue Sky is out of the picture. That was a different unit. They came and did their work. I did the grading that you asked for.” They keep bringing up that I have something open with Blue Sky.

    Preferred Climate Heating came out to my AC unit pretty much this year and towards the end of last year before we shifted to heat. On days that were super hot to the upper 90s, my AC unit doesn't keep up. So, I called American Home Shield this time again. I called in a few months ago, but the temperature spiked up like 90 and it went back down to 70s. So, it wasn't really a huge deal. I canceled that service call at that point. Then, we had a stretch where it was in the high 90s. So, I called it in again and Preferred Climate came out. They ran diagnostics outside, did their thing, and then came back and told me that both of my HVAC systems were about two pounds low on Freon. Having dealt with this, I know that if Freon is low, then there's a problem someplace because Freon is escaping. They said, "No, your Freon is low and that should fix the problem." I paid that out of pocket and it was roughly $610 to top off the Freon on both units.

    On the day they came out, the outside temperature was down to about 74 or so. So, you couldn't really see the extent of what I've been dealing with when it's up in the higher 90s. When it's 95 outside, the best that I can get upstairs in the house is about 80 degrees or so. So, they topped it off. A few days later after they came out, the temperature spiked back up to 90. When that happened, I immediately tried to call them back directly to see if I can get a return call from them and they didn't call me back at all. That was when I called back to AHS to tell them what happened and they scheduled a second visit with them. I tried to call them but didn't get an answer. I got ahold of AHS and they scheduled it again. So finally, after that, I got ahold of them. That was last week and they set up an appointment for Saturday from 8:00 to 12:00 and they never showed until about 12:30-ish.

    I tried to call them a few times, but it went straight to voicemail and I got no answer. I called back AHS on Saturday, and they attempted to call them and were unable to get them on the phone either. I haven't heard anything back from them at all. So, earlier today, I went back on the app and tried to do another return service call. Again, I was assigned to Preferred Climate. So, I was attempting to work with them again on the second return call since they had been here once already and diagnosed it and thought it was Freon. I kind of feel like I got ripped off a little bit on that one. Now that I look at it again, I don't think they really ran diagnostics at all. Because I wasn't feeling well that day when they came, so they went out and did their thing on the outside unit and never came inside the house. They kind of got me on that one.

    One thing I don't like about AHS is that I have to deal with multiple contractors. With my AC unit, I've had folks come out a few times and every single time is a different company. I just wish that you could stick with one company so they're familiar and you don't have guys like Preferred Climate coming out and ripping you off. At this point, I feel like I got ripped off by these guys. They didn't fix my issue and I paid out 610 bucks when I probably didn't really need to.

Any water problem we have, I have to find somebody else.

    They also came out for my Kenmore washing machine and it has never been fixed. It keeps shorting out. The last guy said it was something else. They ordered something and then expected me to put it on. My next appointment for the washing machine is two weeks out. They came out now for the broiler in the oven.

    I had an issue with the air conditioner. Whatever the tech used didn't do the job as far as blowing it out. As soon as he left, it started back leaking again when I was running the air. He had to come back. Then he used a different type of tool to open it up. I haven't had any trouble, so far. However, AHS sets me up quickly with someone when I have a claim. But then the company has to set up a time to come. Normally, they will do that but sometimes it takes a couple of days before they do that.

    I submit a request for work through American Home Shield's website then I pay a $75 fee and they usually assign me a technician for the job I need to get taken care of. Customer support is good, and there's only been two instances that I've got some concerns with. With a garage door replacement, I didn't get the customer service I needed. They could've given a better explanation of what was going to get covered, especially with the garage door. Also, if I've had a bad experience with a service provider, I would like the opportunity not to get them again. For instance, I had a plumber that came out that was not very professional and asked for weird things to get his work done.

    The plumber got the work done, I sent him on his way then I had another issue with some more plumbing. When I submitted for a work order, AHS was gonna send him again. We just cancelled him and hired somebody off the street, which was dissatisfying to me because I'm paying $95 a month for a service. Because I had a bad experience with this plumber, anytime I have a plumbing issue, I'm very apprehensive having to ask the American Home Shield that they try to send me the same technician. I'm done. I'm gonna have to move somewhere else.

    American Home Shield is convenient. I like being able to just go on the web and set up appointments. They’re pretty quick about that. They have a good web response system. Sometimes, the vendors that they contract with aren't the best but in general, we've had pretty good luck with the people that have come out to deal with any of the problems and any repairs that we needed. J-Tech was excellent. They came out twice. Once, something was malfunctioning, and they were able to get a part and fix it. The second time, we had water buildup. Something wasn’t draining properly. It was an emergency, and they got somebody out here very quickly.

    In general, AHS has worked out pretty well. There was just a minor misunderstanding. We had a free-standing ice maker, and they decided that wasn’t covered. In my mind, it should have been, because it’s one of the appliances in the house but they decided since it wasn’t specifically listed, they’re not gonna cover it. Overall, I'd recommend them. They've been pretty good for us.

    I called American Home Shield and spoke with their representative. The process was easy and simple. I called around 7 o'clock at night when we noticed our AC was going out. I called the contractor, Ambient, the morning of the following day and the technician verified that they had the claim. But they were so busy so they were going to dispatch a technician around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The technician showed up on time and was quite courteous and professional. He found out the problem with my AC. I've been satisfied with my service from American Home Shield.

    I felt American Home Shield was a better coverage. I had the contractor come out and do an AC tune-up, and based off of that, there was some repair that needed to be completed. It was a capacitor that needed to be replaced. In the past, American Home Shield has assigned a different company. But I have had nothing but bad experience with them, so I will not use them.

    The gentleman came out to evaluate the problem. I had missed a phone call from the tech letting me know that he would be on his way out. He detested to leave a voicemail, nothing like that. So, when I had an opportunity to look at my phone and be, "Oh, I have a missed call. I wonder who this is." Gave the contractor a call back and the gentleman said, "Well, I'm not in your area anymore. You should have answered your phone." The professional thing to do when you call a customer is leave a voicemail or call back. That was a bad taste in my mouth. When he did come out, it was, "Well, I don't know what to tell you. I can't diagnose something if it's not happening." He didn't want to do anything. It was a bad experience. I called the warranty and said, "I'm done with this contractor, you guys need to turn somebody else out. I don't ever want them in my home again."

    They sent out Crispy Air. They evaluated my unit. They went up to the attic to evaluate what was going on up there. This other provider didn't do any of that. He was just outside, "Look, there's nothing going on. I can't tell you if there's something wrong if there's nothing going on." Crispy Air has been the company that has come out since I let the warranty know that the previous one in my home. And anytime they have come out to do any service or repairs, I've never had any issues.

    Every time I need something done or checked out for the AC unit, I have to call AHS because their system automatically assigns that contractor that I don't want at the house. And when I call, they would say, "Okay, we assigned a contractor." "No, I don't want them. I want Crispy Air at the house, because I've had a good experience with them." And they have to change the contractor on their end, versus me just doing it online myself.

    The contractor fixed the problem with my air conditioning unit. But my problem were two things. Number one, the workers seemed very rushed from getting from one customer to the other. They used my hose and never put it back on the reel. They also left part of the panel for the air conditioning unit on the floor. They were not neat. It's a minor thing but they should be a little more professional when they do things. Number two, there was major problem with the AC unit. They found a second issue. Though the AC is working, they found an issue with the air handler inside it. They said that they'd have to consult American Home Shield to see if they would pay for the repair. They said that American Home Shield would pay for the part, which is some kind of valve. However, they had to replace the freon and the freon was $845. I said off the bat that was highway robbery.

    We had a dishwasher claim and that was handled better. That company operates a lot better and is a lot more professional. They’re based in Lakeland, Florida. The repairman came in and needed a part. He didn't have it on the truck so he said he had to order it. He ordered it then he came and fixed it. All of that was included in my $125 out of pocket so I thought that was well worth it. I was very happy with AHS with that service. However, for the air conditioning unit, it's the second time that this has happened. The other AC guy that came before to fix a problem was more concerned about selling me a new unit than fixing my air conditioning unit. These air conditioning guys seem like a bunch of scammers. American Home Shield could do a better job screening companies that come out.

    I open the icebox up and the light wouldn’t come on. It seemed the freezer was thawing out and everything in the icebox was freezing. I did a claim with American Home Shield and they told me the name of the company that would be calling me. Their tech walked in the door and listened to what I had to say. He was friendly and he knew what he was doing. He then went to his truck, came back in, and did something with a magnet of some sort and reset the icebox.

    He explained what he was doing and told me that the reason the food in the freezer was defrosting and he said that the reason the icebox was freezing was because the door wasn't sealing well. There’s a magnet at the door that has to touch itself. There was something that fell in there and it interfered with doing it, which was making the freezer try to keep the icebox going. That caused the cold air from the freezer to not freeze the food. It was a simple fix if you knew what you're doing, which was something I didn't know. He did everything he could and it was awesome.

    American Home Shield, overall, is okay. But I just had an issue yesterday with my AC not working. And we spent a lot of back and forth. It's causing a lot of delay. I have the premium plan, and I pay thousands of dollars every six months, but I'm not getting the service I deserve or need. AHS has a strange process for me. Because, yesterday, I had called up one of their agents, and I told them that the vendor that they provided me has a date that is only available a week out. And I said, “Can you try to call someone else who has an earlier appointment?” He said he could not and he speaks with this particular vendor. And he couldn't connect to them yesterday on the phone, so he asked me to call up again in the morning today for AHS.

    I didn't understand why I had to call them again if the case was still open. But he said, “No, sir. You have to call us again. And then we can contact the vendor again.” So, I told him that the case is already opened. He can just speak with them. It just went back and forth. And he said, “That's all the process is.” But their process is too stringent. At least for the premium customers, they have to offer a higher level of support, because we pay a lot of money. And it's a question of kids getting a heatstroke, so it was very important. But I didn't see that sense of urgency or the extra service for the premium customers yesterday.

    The roofing company that we had, the vendor came out within 24 to 48 business hours, which was great. But the first time the vendors came, they couldn't diagnose the problem. And they left without informing us about anything. And there was no contact or follow-up from AHS to see if our issue was resolved or not. I called them again. And they sent a different agent. And the next time, it all worked out. AHS was great in that case because they took care of the entire roof and all of the expenses associated with it, which was paid. So, I expected the same service this time around.

    I've got a dishwasher repair going on right now. The tech came out and told me that it was unrepairable due to they can't get parts for that machine anymore and he said he would put it in as a replacement. I called American Home Shield about a week later and they said they had the parts available so they were gonna get the parts and they'll be sent to the technician for the repair. That was over three weeks ago so I don't know what's going on with it. I'm not enjoying this claim. But Wright Appliance, the contractor, is great. They’ve been in my house before and have always done a good job.

    American Home Shield’s service has paid off for me. We've had a couple of claims on refrigerators that they did a great job on. But this one they're not doing too well on and they oversell "We'll replace it if we can't fix it" at times. They offered me a cash-out option on an oven that they replaced one time.

    American Home Shield's service is working great. We've used it several times. We have had the air conditioner worked on. I got a new dishwasher and a new microwave. Everything's worked out well. They held up their part of the contract. I haven't had a lot of trouble. Recently, a tech from Foltz Electric came out and he worked well. He shouldn't really do everything I needed them to do because some of it was on a garage that wasn't attached to the house, and he said that that wasn't covered. There was like a light bulb thing that broke off in there, and he did take those out for me. So, that was nice. He was a very nice man.

    I did have trouble with my air conditioner. My air conditioner was a weird fix, and they had to come out a couple more times. They finally got it fixed but the last time they came out, my thermostat was still not working. So, the air conditioner guy said it was the plumbing that came down the line and goes out if that little line is filled up with water and hits like a little sensor. He said it was a problem with the line in my bathroom on the first floor of my house. He said, "You're gonna need a plumber to blow that line out. I've blown as far as I can do. So you got something else." He set it all up for me. He called American Home Shield and told them to send me a plumber. American Home Shield found the plumber. The plumber came out and fixed it. They went above and beyond. They were amazing, and the plumbing people were very nice as well. Everybody I've had out has been really great to work with.

    I lived in a very small town in the middle of West Texas. There weren't that many contractors. So, I don't know if I would recommend thee company to someone that was in a small town. As far as in a place that’s got more people, it seems like there are more contractors available that signed up to be providers. So, I have not had a problem. I did have to buy a microwave at Lowe's and pay for someone to put it in but it was during COVID, so everything was kind of weird. It wasn't easy to find people to come in to your house but it worked out fine. I got it replaced and put a new one in, and AHS sent me the money.

    We had a clogged bathroom sink. I did a claim with Home Shield and it was through a person, which I regret. They're not English-speaking people so they're hard to understand. In my experience talking to people in other countries and living in other countries, you have to phrase things differently to get your point across. It was extremely painful to talk to those people.

    I had been calling Home Shield for a year and I document everything in my little notebooks. I called Home Shield seven times for a year and we never got any attention. They kept saying that no one in my area was qualified. They wanted me to find the person to come out, pay them then hope for a reimbursement. I refused to do that as I couldn't afford that. I had my son-in-law call and he did his man voice. Within no time at all, American Home Shield contacted Brick Street Plumbing. They were out very quickly and were very professional and knowledgeable. They were excellent all the way.

    I have another claim with American Home Shield right now for my kitchen sink. For some reason, we're having problems with our drain. The garbage disposal is attached to the kitchen sink. I was told that according to Article G-6 in my contract or A-2, they don't touch kitchen sinks. I asked if the garbage disposal was covered. They said it was. When I made the rep go back, I said, "Now, I want you to go through whatever paperwork you got there and I want you to find what article says that the garbage disposal is covered." This was a three or four-hour process. We went to the garbage disposal and the rep said something about the competency and part. I asked what competency meant and she couldn't tell me. That's the only thing that was covered. It's incompetent if it doesn't work.

    The rep was trying to give me the runaround and then said, "But the garbage disposal replacement is not covered." I've been playing tag with Brick Street Plumbing. I called Brick Street Plumbing and they said, "That doesn't make sense because we've replaced garbage disposals for Home Shield." The Home Shield people are liars and they're making stuff up. On the whole, I wouldn't recommend them to an enemy. I would love to find a home warranty company that doesn't have foreign speakers and can actually do what we pay them for. We paid over $700 for the year and now it's up to almost 1,000.

    American Home Shield did good on the dryer. A guy came out and fixed it. But when they came out to replace the washing machine, I had trouble because it took too long and we couldn’t wash. I ended up having them to send me a check. I bought it myself and they put it in. I had let the warranty lapse at one point because there wasn't enough funds in my bank, and I didn't follow up. But when I called them back, their contractor was supposed to come out and fix the leak that I had in my faucet. They weren’t able to fix that. When I called them to have the contractor come back out, they said my warranty expired so I got to pay the $100 deductible. I told them that was not right ‘cause they never fixed it the first time.

    I’m not happy with American Home Shield at all. The service is terrible. I had a problem with my heater in the wintertime, and they sent five different people out. The first time, the repairman said we needed a special part. They couldn't do it. American Home Shield sent another person but that person didn't know what the first person did. They replaced the switch on my furnace in the attic because they said the switch was broken. Then the thing upstairs was shorting out. The heat would come on and cut off. It was 30 degrees in our house during that time. It didn't work.

    I had to call the home warranty and they sent another guy out. He didn't know the issue and I tried to explain to him. I told American Home Shield not to send that company again. Another company came out. The repairman looked at it and said the switch the second company put in was the wrong switch. They put in the original one which was good. But now, it doesn't work.

    We had to buy a heater for our house. We have a fake fireplace, but it wouldn't heat up the whole upstairs. Our kids couldn’t put the heaters in their room because it kept blowing the circuit breaker. We were freezing in January and February. When I asked them if they could send the same company out, they said yes but then they cancelled and never sent anybody out. If they have a company that's good, they could try to use that company for the same person. Finally, they did. But it was such a hassle. Now, it's hot, and only the AC works upstairs. I'm going to go back to Old Republic Home Warranty because I don’t like American Home Shield at all. When I spoke to a manager once, I got the runaround. They don't seem like they care about their customers.

I got a service date of June 3rd from the people that are going to come and service it. Home Shield was doing a pretty good job at getting the people. But my main concern is that in the area where I live, it is hard to find people that do these services. Now that they are starting to use a service called A&E Factory Services which services this part of the country, I'm gonna wait and see how this is gonna go.

    There wasn’t a lot of water pressure with the toilet. It wasn’t really flushing very well. Also, water was coming out from the little faucet sprout thingy while trying to start the shower. The tech that came out was great. He was very respectful and punctual. From what I’ve heard, having a plumber come out is very expensive. So I’m so grateful to have American Home Shield.

    I needed my dishwasher repaired. But I'm still waiting for it to be done. It's going on two weeks. So, it's a lengthy process getting things approved. A technician came out, stated that he needed parts ordered. And he submitted a request to American Home Shield. We've been waiting for a little over a week now for them to approve so he can come back out and complete the job. AHS has always been like that. They take a while to approve requests. They should improve on their turnaround.

    The convenience of making that one phone call and getting a service technician out within 24 to 48 hours is helpful to me. When my washing machine is not advancing through the cycles, the beauty of it was American Home Shield sent the same technician back the second time because it's actually a follow-up call. Because of what he experienced on the first visit, he knew what the next steps needed to be because he's familiar with the washing machine. He knew what codes from the first time and what the problem was. We're still waiting on a part which is delayed. But for my recent plumbing claim, I don't know whether it's on the AHS' side, the person dispatching the claim contact or the online form, needing to ask a few more questions because the service technician that was sent out was not qualified to make a repair.

    American Home Shield's copay has gone up and it seems like they don't cover some things they used to. I recently had to replace an outside faucet. Years ago, that used to be covered but not anymore. Another thing is that some of the appliance people that have been here used to call American Home Shield and then get the okay. Now, they have to call in and wait and can't fix things on the spot sometimes. I had a claim for my oven and I talked with someone. It didn't take long for techs to come and they replaced the sensor in the oven. The oven is okay now but it's still off. I probably should have just taken the money and bought a new oven.

    The American Home Shield reps are very nice every time I call. Recently, my washing machine would make a very terrible noise when it was spinning and the water wouldn't drain totally. After the machine would stop, there was still water within the clothes. The techs came twice, and they were very efficient and friendly. The first time, it was to change a part that was called the agitator, then the next time, they came and changed something else that needed to be replaced. However, I noticed that the machine still makes some noise on the finishing cycle, but I can live with it. It's less noise because before it was unbearable.

    I've had American Home Shield for 15 years and I'm pretty familiar with the app and the call in process. When my wife noticed a water bubble starting to form on the wall going up our stairs, I used the online app, submitted a trouble ticket and received the name of the contractor and a phone number within a text. I had a leak in a pipe and the repair person told me exactly what he was doing. It went very well, and I was pretty pleased, which is not always the case with American Home Shield.

    I had multiple trouble tickets on my HVAC. I eventually had to come out of pocket $36,000 to replace them both. They would repair, repair, repair and never replace it because it was no longer functioning. Also, some of the parts that they replaced it with were remanufactured parts, which apparently is a no-no. In fact, in some of these instances, they're even unauthorized. I'm a bit disappointed, and the challenge is there are not that many organizations like this. Still, American Home Shield is not always bad, and they don't always provide bad contractors.

    When it comes to Pronto, I am very pleased with their service. We had an issue with our kitchen sink that needed repair. They came out about that repair. The diagnosis was on time. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law, who does not speak English, was in the house. They returned so they could communicate to know where was the issue. And when they returned, everything was done promptly.

    My last request was on Saturday morning. I did not like that agent. She seems not to know what she’s doing. Because I mentioned the garage door needs a repair, and she said my policy does not cover garage door. I said, “Yes, it does.” She said, “We don’t do assembly.” I don’t know where assembly would come from that because we're not building a house. So, I had to be patient to say, “It's the garage door opener.” And there’s nothing else in the garage door to be dealt with when it comes to repair. She was talking about assembly. I was not pleased with that observation.

    I said, “It's an emergency,” and she said it's not classified as one. Because what happened was, the garage was stuck halfway. And we were going to spend the night in our neighborhood. We see garage with cars and everything left open, and they did not want to classify that as an emergency. And she kept on reading back the script to me. I said, “If you could get someone from a different zip code to come over the weekend.” Because the agent which worked with us for the garage door was closed on Saturday. But she said there are others that may be open but they are not in my zip code. And because she already sent that request. And what was very disturbing was, she said, “I sent it, and I sent an email.” I said, “But they are closed. You just said they are closed on Saturday.” But that was my first time finding somebody who was just reading his script. That was just this Saturday. But apart from that incident, I usually get a good service.

    American Home Shield may have a new agent that probably needs more training. But I’ve been with them for so many years. And sometimes, they get some bad third-party to do their place. There was an American Bestway that was terrible, but that’s not on them. And I was pleased when I tell them I don’t want American Bestway to come to my house ever again. They can sell them, and they replace it, which I was pleased with. They respond promptly. So, they are doing their job, so far. And everything they do, I agreed on, before the $100, to do the deductible for 100 bucks. So, they always come through. Saturday was a unique experience. You can really see somebody very new who really needs training.

    The ice bucket of my refrigerator cracked in the bottom, so when the ice came in there, it would just fall through ‘cause there was nothing to hold it. My refrigerator was making ice, but it was falling through the bucket. The repair company American Home Shield assigned had me video something for them to see what the problem was. I didn’t know how to do it, so the lady told me how to do it then a man came out, saw it and said that they had to order the container. The repair company called me when it was ready, which was earlier than what they said it was gonna be.

    Before that, we were buying ice at the store and putting it in there, but we put tape under the bottom, so the ice wouldn’t fall through. We just bring the tray out and get the ice. When the man came and brought the container for it, my refrigerator was giving ice, but it was doing it because we had ice already in there. It wouldn’t go through the little thing on the door. It was not making ice cubes. It would just stay in the same position.

    I called the repair company back to tell them that it was there and it was making noise like it was making ice, but it wasn’t making any. They made an appointment to check out and replace it or fix it if something was wrong, but three days later, it started making ice on its own and it's been doing it ever since. I called to let the repair company know that the machine is working fine. Overall, they did a good job, and everyone was very nice. The man who came was very pleasant and professional too. He told me that it was ready, and everything is okay. I said, “Okay. Thank you very much.”

    American Home Shield's packages seemed very all-inclusive in terms of what they cover. That was something that was important to me. Every different person that has come to service appliances has been very professional, and they've been able to take care of it quickly. So, I'm happy. Just after-hour options would be my only thing. That would be my only complaint, but it's not anything that AHS could fix. Because people tend to make their own hours like different companies.

    I called in a claim to American Home Shield and three different people came out. The last one, R&K, was the one that was able to do the repair work for me. Once their tech got to my house and found out what the issue was, he told me and showed me what it was. Once he tore the heating element down, it had a lot of holes in it and it had rusted. The heat was not going in the house. Part of it was going outside of the unit. He said he had to go back and get the parts approved and ordered. About two weeks later they called and told me they had the parts and that they were ready to send someone out to put them in place. They came out and replaced the heating element that had all burned out in my air conditioner and heating unit.

    Everything is functioning fine now. The tech had to come back because of a wire. Once he put the heating unit in there, I couldn't get my HC to work the next day. The tech found out a wire had burned loose on the cap. Once he clipped that and put that back together, I haven't had any issues. I'm well satisfied with them. I would recommend them.

    I have used American Home Shield several times and they always try to find someone. If someone said they couldn't do it, they would try to find someone that could. There were a couple of times that the contractor didn't return the call back like they were supposed to have done. One of the contractors claimed they tried to call me but if they had done that, I would have gotten a message. Other than that, I've gotten good service from American Home Shield.

    American Home Shield is there when I have an emergency. I just call one place rather than having to call an HVAC guy or a plumber. I wouldn't have to front a lot of money if I had an emergency home repair needed. They schedule someone. It’s just sometimes I have to wait. Sometimes, they want to sell something that is not needed. But that's the contractors they use and not America Home Shield. I used the warranty when my heat and air conditioner stopped working. It needed a capacitor. It took three and a half days to get someone here. Other than that, things were good.
