He did an excellent job. He was very nice, very considerate, and very professional. American Home Shield is a good deal.

    I’ve had one claim recently with AHS and the service has been fine. The new contractors have been okay. But the past contractors were not. I went without air for two months last summer. I kept being told that my parts weren't in. I was told several different things. I finally ended up having the product repaired myself, paying $3,500 out of pocket to have it repaired. They said there was one part that was wrong with it. It ended up being two parts wrong with it. The day after I had it repaired, the person that was supposed to repair it called me and told me the part was in. I could have saved myself $3,500 because I had a warranty with them.

    Also, when I was talking with the reps, they weren't knowledgeable of the information when I went into my problem. I'd call back and it wasn't in the notes that they should have had in there. They kept telling me the things that I had discussed with them. I was promised through retention two free service calls. But I've had a service call this year and they charged me.

    We turned in our order for my air conditioning tune-up and they sent out a contractor who had been here before. The tech said we needed a part and he said it had to be a separate order. We thought we could get ahold of AHS and have him come back and put the part in. But there was no way that we could get ahold of anybody to tell them we wanted the same people back. We tried online and on the phone. When we find a company that does a good job, we like to use that same company over again. I've had some employees that I'd love to have back and some, I should have never hired. It'd be nice if I could get some companies back again when I have a problem. I would really appreciate it. But the company they sent out to bring the part, Ramsey Air, was very good too. We'd be happy to have them back.

    My husband called American Home Shield and said that our garbage disposal wasn't working. They said, “Okay, we'll send somebody out.” Somebody called me and said, “What day can we come out?” I said Friday. I let them come into my house. They opened up the sink and looked at the garbage disposal. The blades were stuck, and they were able to get the blades unstuck. The disposal works now. They resolved the issue and taught me how to keep it from happening again. This experience was good. The last one was terrible though. AHS could choose better companies to work with.

    As our house gets older, I thought about getting a home warranty. I had American Home Shield back in the late ‘90s when I purchased a home and had great service with them. It was a no-brainer to go back to them when we decided to go ahead and get a home warranty. We have peace of mind and we absolutely love having them. When something happens, we pay our monthly premium and when you're having to call somebody, you're not worried it's going to be thousands of dollars. It's simply a deductible that you pay and whatever needs to be fixed is fixed or replaced.

    When I have a claim, I just go on through the app and tell them my problem. I get a text immediately letting me know who's been signed. We did a claim when the AC stopped working the weekend before last. We had to wait until Monday to get a call and that was a little bit frustrating. But under the circumstances, it was a weekend. Weekend rates are higher because it's considered an emergency call and I get that. It also was a little bit cooler that time. Before 8 o'clock that Monday morning, I got a phone call from the AC repair people saying somebody was coming out between 11:00 and 3:00 to get me going again. I didn't have to wait or call them. The couple of times that we've had to call for something, it was always a great experience.

    My dryer wasn't working. It was cutting off. I called and I submitted a claim with AHS. The only thing I had problems with was I got a lot of non-English speaking people and it was hard for them to understand me sometimes. There was also never a manager to escalate the problem. Also, right now, I'm having to deal with a roof that's having problems. The roofing guy came today and knocked my AC off and he was telling me it was not his fault. He didn't mean to or he was really careful, he didn't do anything. But now my AC isn't working. I'm trying to figure out how can I get my $100 to have somebody come out to fix my HVAC. Because they're trying to act like they're not responsible. So some type of third party responsibility assurance would be great.

    I love American Home Shield. I just pay the deductible and they got the technicians take care of my claim. Quick A/C Solutions came for the circulation fan on the unit that kept continually running. The technician diagnosed the problem quickly and it didn't take him time at all to fix it. I also had a claim with the washer and the dryer. For the dryer, there was an issue with a belt and the wheels for the drum. The washer was leaking up the bottom. The technician diagnosed it and opened it up. He saw that a rubber piece had a hole in it and that was leaking. However, it's been two weeks and the technician still hasn't gotten the part back here to fix it. It's been great so far with American Home Shield except for the washer.

    I was assigned Foster's to repair my oven and I waited a few days but I hadn't heard anything from them. When I called them, they told me that they already told American Home Shield that they could not service my oven. I said it was fine, but nobody had notified me that they needed to make a switch. When I called customer service, they looked at the records and said they declined the order. So, they assigned somebody else. When the guy came, he looked at my oven, but he didn't pull it out of the wall, and left. He said he would have to order a part. But then I received another email from Foster's, indicating that they were setting up an appointment. So, when I talked to them, they came and repaired my oven.

    Both companies have been to my house twice. But the other guy who said he was gonna order the part but didn't come back, did that the first time he came. I felt like when he saw me, that he didn't want to work here. I can't be sure that he didn't say anything rude. He wasn't personable at all nor friendly. He didn't kick my dog but I didn't have a good feeling about it. And that was the second time he had been here that he did not complete any kind of service.

    When Foster's came back the second time and I asked the guy if he had been here before, he said he didn’t remember. But he did everything he was supposed to do. He pulled the oven out of the wall, ordered the part, came back and took care of it. So, Foster's was not a problem for me other than the initial mix-up with them declining the service at the beginning. When he left after he came and diagnosed the issue, he said it might be one thing and he was going to order a part. He was not positive but he was going to order what he thought was wrong. When he came back that second time, he wasn't able to fix it with that part. But he did let me know that he wasn't sure the first time.

    When he ordered the second time, he said he would be back in about a week and that it would be about five days to get the part. It was about a week and a half but they did call me and I wasn't concerned in a half of another week. So, they called me and set up the appointment. He came out, put it in and everything has been fine ever since.

    I've been very happy that I have this service now because for many years, when I first started getting those little postcards about home warranty, I thought it was something I didn't need. But I had to have my oven repaired and it cost me $1,200. Then, I spoke to a friend of mine and she mentioned that she had American Home Shield or she had a warranty service and they were coming to fix something of hers. I was thinking that it works. There are two different individuals that I know that used a warranty service and they had used it and said it was good. And once I've gotten AHS, I've used them at least three times.

    We had part of our water heater system burst recently. Silva Plumbing contacted me the next morning and they came that same day. I sent them some photos and the tech was able to diagnose it over the phone. He was also able to get the part and bring it with him to fix the same day. Sometimes, it's just a little frustrating when claims are submitted with AHS. We have an open issue with my oven. The first contractor came out. Whatever he wrote on the paperwork, he determined that it was a pre-existing problem. But nobody knows when something cracks on an appliance. I’ve had lots of things go bad within the months of owning my home. So, I had to go through an appeal to get another one out. Now, we’ve been waiting on parts for six months. It isn’t all American Home Shield’s fault. But, sometimes, the system for sending out contractors and claims and approvals can be a little bit flawed.

    American Home Shield is fabulous. We had a refrigerator problem about three weeks ago and they sent someone out local who diagnosed it within a short time, and he was spot-on. Within two days, water was coming out of the bottom of the furnace and AHS sent someone out. It was just lines that got plugged. Those two things would have been a major hassle for me but AHS addressed them right away and had very good conclusions. I didn't anticipate I'd ever use it because it's an expensive home and it's eight years old. The guy who owned the house had it so, I decided to get it. I'm an old guy and I have never had any kind of warranties but AHS has been great.

    I've been successful with American Home Shield for quite some time. But there are a couple of things that could be a little bit better. When a claim is submitted, they seem to only look at companies that are registered with the provider even for cases where we have fixes that require emergency assistance such as a refrigerator being out. Based on the people registered with American Home Shield, they are not able to provide a service within two weeks or so. They should be able to look in the area. If that service provider isn't available, who will be next? They should base some of the services on categories, which is considered an emergency compared to standard repair work.

    The home warranty is beneficial every now and then. We didn't get the name of the plumbing service that we used the last time. He was a hardworking worker and was very professional but the toilet thing broke off two days after and one of the flushes isn't going down. We're in the process of trying to reach back out to see who provided service to us last. I'm quite sure the tech will be able to come and adjust it.

    Most of the appliance people that came out left a business card in their brochure. Fred's Appliances was outstanding. The plumber didn't have any type of business card to say, "Hey, if you need some extra work done, here's my number. Give us call if you got any problems. If it's something that's covered that we did, we'll come back out or if it's something with American Home Shield, just put it back in."

    I would also make a suggestion that America Home Shield give us the opportunity to rate the quality of the person so they get the overall observation of what type of people are coming in. If they're receiving feedback for one particular vendor and the rating score's really low, they might want to discontinue their service because that would help them to identify that there seems to be a problem with the vendor that's coming out. This will lead customers not wanting to stay with American Home Shield.

    We have other properties that we have covered. Sometimes the customer service in the duration of reimbursement, the process can be quite long. For my claim, it took 23 or 28 days to get some service done. By this time, we're looking to try to see what we can afford out of pocket because it falls into that category of an emergency basis and it doesn't always line up with American Home Shield's timeline. At times, we might have to pay somebody out of pocket. On the whole, I've had American Home Shield for years and I'm happy with the service that's why I keep them around.

    I took advantage of getting my AC unit checked for the year. And that was a fiasco. Found out my air conditioner was faulty. It wasn't holding its temperature. The tech never did anything. He tried to charge me 200 and some dollars for Freon. In the middle of that, he got a call that said the work order was canceled because something happened with my payment. He left in the middle of the job and left my gate open. I had to call my own air conditioning guy to fix things and he let me know that the AC really needed to be replaced. So, I called American Home Shield back, and that’s when they sent Cabot out.

    But the situation I went through was uncalled for and very unprofessional. The guy was upset because the work order was canceled and he wouldn't be able to get any money. So, he tried to get money from me. The $200 for freon had been a waste. I still had to pay the $75 for the checkup. Then, I had to pay $130 for Cabot to come out. And, I had to pay $520 for the Freon. So I was out about $900. I was very disappointed in the whole ordeal. I also was very disappointed with American Home Shield. For as long as I've had them, I pay them $70 a month. Then, I'm out almost $900 to get a unit replaced. I was expecting them to come out with a new unit, and it wasn’t.

    American Home Shield is a safety net and I'll never get rid of it. I had an issue that started to be an electrical fire and the wires were melting. And I called 911 and they shut it down at the breaker box. Flowertown and Air came and the tech replaced some wires. He was friendly and professional. I said, "Is that a normal thing?" He's like, "Yeah." But, I would have liked a little more information. There was another guy I had before and I could tell he was thorough and that he knew what he was doing. He really wanted to teach me and said, "This is how this works and this is why it did this." So, there's a very big difference. But this other guy did the work and he was gone. But would definitely recommend Flowertown Heating and Air. I've had them come out quite a few times. They're always professional, courteous, and quick.

    With my last claim for my oven, this guy showed up with a screwdriver an hour and a half late on the first visit. I called because I kept getting text message updates that said that he's on his way, and then there's a little map you can look at and it shows that he's 15 minutes away, but the number of minutes away kept growing. He didn't touch the oven at all and just said it needed this and this. So, my oven caught fire. He ordered the parts and he's going to fix it but they're supposed to be here from 12:00 to 5:00 and I haven't heard anything today. The last time I waited from 12:00 to 5:00 and at 5:00, I started going, "Okay, so are they not coming in?" And they came at 6:30.

    The experience with AHS was good. But sometimes I find it too expensive. I pay them once a month and I have to pay them for the serviceman to come to my home. On top of that, if I don't get the delivery time needed, it could cost me a day's work.

    In the beginning, my experience with AHS was not good. The beginnings are rocky and I even had a person on our neighborhood app mention it. I told them I'm giving it a couple of chances because I think it's not the company itself, it's the first providers they sent out. I had trouble with my first two but once we got that settled, everything went well. My most recent claim was when I wasn't getting any air. I filed a claim by web and then, I reached out to a provider by phone because they contacted me but it went to junk so I didn't see it. They sent out Above Par Heating & Air Conditioning and the guy said there were multiple problems because the wires just kind of dropped and it wasn't connecting at all.

    A starter on the pool went out. The tech came out and fixed it right away. It worked out. The first time that my hot water heater went out, American Home Shield fixed it. But three years later, the hot water heater that they replaced went out again. So I have to pay the service fee again. But all of a sudden, I had to pay additional fees for permits. I've never paid for a permit. That same hot water heater has been replaced at least four times thus far and it hasn't even been 10 years. There was also an instance when I tried to tell them, “Listen, you guys put this hot water heater in there. It’s damage. It has dent and dings in it.” It's not safe, but they couldn't resolve it and wouldn't resolve it. I couldn't speak to somebody that could speak English.

    There was another issue with my washing machine and I had major water damage because American Home Shield sent out a company who jimmied jack bootleg internal parts within my washing machine that made it back up into the wall. I had water damage in the garage and the walls in the laundry room. But American Home Shield doesn't cover it. They just said, “Oh, well, we'll send another technician out to fix your washer.” They couldn't tell what company did it because at this particular time, they had two different companies that were documented that came out to work on my washing machine. For the most part, the customer service has been horrible over the last four years.

    AHS is a great plan for getting things repaired and taken care of. Requesting service has been a good process. It usually takes a day or two for the repair company to get there. But none of the repairs that I've had to have done had me in a dire straits situation where it had to be done right that minute. So, that has worked out. The warranty covers all of my electrical, washer, dryer, stove refrigerator, and air conditioning system. The price has gone up twice in the three years that we've had it and that's the only thing I have a problem with because the first year, we had no repairs. And then the next year, it went up.

    Recently, the tech cleaned out the coils on my AC system and checked up in the attic. He also checked the Freon levels to make sure it was good to go for the summer. He did everything I would want.

    I see American Home Shield as like a dispatch. So, talking to the individuals on the phone, everything was good with that. I get the best deal, but not the best quality. And the cheaper that they got under the contract, they take advantage of that. I had American Home Shield before in my rental property. The problem that I had with it is they kept on sending people out to fix my air conditioner and it was band-aids in it every year. The amount of money I spent in it, I could have bought a new AC unit. Before I sold that home, it went out again. It went out every year. And I said, "Just go ahead. Don't even worry about it. Replace the whole thing." And I got a discount. But I rather had just done that in the beginning than having them band-aid it. The company told me that they could fix it but it was hazardous because it was leaking antifreeze.

    My first claim this time was I had a pipe leak. So, I looked it up. The contractor came out, did the inspection. I already knew the leak was outside because I checked with the water service. I wish AHS would have let me know that, if there's a leak on the outside, they don't do it. I just bought the house, moving in in January. I didn't think I would have an issue. So, when the people from Prime came, it took them a week or two to come back. My bill is still going up because of the water leaking, but they haven't turned in the report for them to make the claim or for them to go any further.

    So, they came out, did the work, fixed everything, and I called them back. And when they did, and I told them once they fixed the line, the zone in the front yard didn't work anymore. I called them, they said they would call me, figure out what was going on, and they would call me back. The weekend passed, I called them that Monday but no one called me back. I said, "I wait on y'all and you didn't call back." "The guy didn't mess with that zone in the front yard," which I understood. "No, you didn't mess with that zone in the front yard. But after you fixed my line, y'all probably hit a line or something, mess up something, causing that zone to go out." So they said, "We're gonna give you a call back." But they didn't.

    Thursday, when I called them back, they told me they wouldn't be able to get here until after the 16th. But before they did anything, I needed to call the water service and have them come out. I said, "What's wrong is the water is on my side, not the city side." So, I ended up calling somebody else and they are supposed to come out and work. If anything, they didn't do anything wrong and they told me what was wrong. I was, "If nothing was wrong, then that's business for you, then you can fix it when you come back."

    On another claim, AHS replaced the garbage disposal. After the tech put it up, my dishwasher started leaking. I just did some research on my own. He forgot to knot the little cap out for the water to drain from the dishwasher into the garbage disposal. That is something an expert is supposed to be able to do. I would have ended up calling AHS to come fix my problem. I would have been out another $100 just to call AHS and tell them about my dishwasher leaking out.

The Shining Plumbing came out for the pipe issues under my disposal in the kitchen. Carlos, the tech, was really nice and very helpful. The rubber part was broken so he replaced that.

But when he took the serial numbers, the part was still under the manufacturer's warranty. So, they have done the manufacturer's warranty on that, but it's on backorder.

I called in to report the claim and when the representative completed the claim, she asked me to take my phone and she videod the problem that I was having on the refrigerator door. She also videoed the model and serial number on the inner right-hand side of the refrigerator inside. She told me that they would submit that to Stephen's Appliance so they would know exactly what they're coming out for.

    Stephen's Appliance came out the next day and knew exactly what the issue was when I showed it to them. They had to order the part and within five days, the tech was back out here. It took him approximately three minutes to put the part on and repaired it. They were very nice and professional. American Home Shield also replaced a washing machine for me. I was very pleased with that. I have all my appliances on American Home Shield. It is a very good thing to have.

    American Home Shield sent Royal Flush to do my AC tune-up. They were good. They explained what they were doing. Initially, it was great. They were knowledgeable but not talking around us and not trying to sell us a whole bunch of stuff we didn't need. But then, they did sell us on a couple of overflow buttons, knobs, and something for the upstairs. Then they installed them incorrectly. Now, we have a huge leak into the overflow pans, and it's leaking outside the house now.

    I contacted AHS about it four times. I talked to Royal Flush twice. When I spoke to them this morning, they said that they needed a work order. So, then I called AHS back. By the time AHS reached out to them or got me situated to have somebody come back and fix it, Royal Flush said they're no longer taking work orders. So, I've got to wait on another AC company to come out. This is the second time I've had some sort of issue with a claim. Trying to get the issue resolved is time-consuming, and I can never get ahold of a supervisor. I get told the same thing over and over again.

    I feel more comfortable having contractors come by because I know that American Home Shield follows-up and they make sure the technician does it right. Plus, they're certified. If you want to see that they're certified, they'll show you a card that shows that they're certified and trained to do what they do. I've had better experiences with them than other people. Because sometimes I've tried to go outside the network to get things fixed. And I ended up just not hiring somebody because they wanted to do something that was destructive to the property.

    The contractor came out here and fixed the problem. Sand got into the motor. The unit started working again perfectly. It went by good. The last time, there was a problem with the washer. Something with the motor. I thought it was going out. The first time the contractor came out, they said to record it so I could show them what was going on. So I did, and the tech said it was the motor going out.

    The second time they came out, they said there was nothing wrong with it. He showed it to somebody else, and this other person looked at it. They inspected the washer and they said there's nothing going on with the washer that they could see that was wrong. But during the couple of times it hiccuped where it would fill up with water, in a certain cycle, it would stop. And it would start up again. But it would start up later than it should. It would make a humming noise. They said it could have been just old. And they just make noises or they do what they do when they get older. It would start up and stop. But now, it's working fine. Other than that, I had a good experience overall. I'm satisfied with AHS. If they can't do something, they explain why they can't do it. There are certain things that they can't cover, but there are a lot of things they do.

    American Home Shield's service has been good so far. I don't have to look for any contractor so when I call in, they find one and that's the most advantageous to me. I also know how much I'm spending in terms of the deductible so I can plan accordingly. If something goes wrong, they will take care of it. I recently had an issue with my ceiling fan. I called AHS and they sent somebody. Getting to them was difficult and I got an appointment after a few days. Once they came in, they were very professional and proficient. They couldn't fix the unit and they ended up replacing it. That was a good experience.

    I have come across a couple of bad incidents as well. AHS always sends us a thing for a free air conditioner checkup or free heating checkup before the season. That costs $75 which is fine. But if something is wrong, they open another service call and take another deductible. I strongly believe there should not be another deductible. If there is a repair cost that is not covered, customers are happy to pay. But since techs came and checked, that should be covered under that service request. Also, if I call them for any billing questions, it's a nightmare and I never get any solutions. For a duplicate charge, I called them seven times and I ended up paying them because it was not worth my time. That’s the one thing I would like AHS to improve on.

    I filed a claim recently with AHS. It was relatively quick and easy. My refrigerator went out. They had the service tech come out to see if it could be repaired, but it could not. They provided the process to go to their appliance portal in hopes of getting a similar refrigerator. From what was available, I didn't see any in stock that was readily available. Because my refrigerator was the only one for the home, I needed one that day. I ended up having to go to one of our local appliance stores to get a refrigerator instead. They notified me that the payment would take about 21 days, so we're still within that 21-day period. Up until this point, I've been rather pleased with the support I received thus far.

    American Home Shield follows through with everything that needs to be done. There were a couple of times that they couldn’t provide stuff, like the septic tank stuff, and they couldn't find a company so I had to find a company then they reimbursed me. They did that quickly. Other than that, it’s been good. They answer the phone well and they follow up with the company. The company calls quickly and the job gets done quickly too.

    I had on a tech that was a young short girl. She could not even reach the filters if she had to change them. I know they were supposed to change the filters but I didn't have any for one part. I told her not to worry about it. I didn't look over her shoulder so I'm assuming she tuned it up okay. But it says in the checklist that they're supposed to wash the unit outside. I don't think she did that.

    This was the house from hell when we first bought it. We had trouble with the refrigerator, the stove, and the air conditioner three or four times. We still have a little bit of problems with the refrigerator. A guy came out and worked on it before and I asked American Home Shield about these parts.

Their guy said they have to follow a protocol and try to fix it first. He never said anything negative. He just said, “We gotta do what we're told to do.” He said, “Obviously, you're absolutely right. We can't fix it. But this is what they want us to do.” He tried everything and it still wouldn’t work. He finally said, “Hey, I'm just about to let them know it can’t be fixed ‘cause it keeps doing the same thing.” He worked with me.

    The biggest issue has been sometimes we would get assigned a contractor that doesn't respond at all. We've had that happen a couple of times. And that has been problematic, because we would get a message saying, "Oh, the contractor contacted you. And they didn't get ahold of you, so they didn't set up an appointment." But it would be false. Nobody has reached out. I've given American Home Shield feedback via the website when we get a review thing. But that has been the most challenging part with them.

    Sometimes, that has been emergency situations, like here in Florida, with the air conditioner going out. We have an elderly person here on hospice. And I've said, "Hey, you can't just assign me a contractor that won't reach out and is non-responsive." There was a company who wasn't even open, because when we tried to contact them directly, nobody picked up the phone. That's my biggest issue with them.

    AHS needs to update their list of contractors more frequently or hold them to a different standard. Because if these are folks that aren't replying or reaching out to the consumer to get the service set up, that's a problem, especially if it's something emergent, like air conditioning in Florida in the middle of the summer. That's a life-or-death situation with the heat index here. It's not like a washing machine. So, they need to be more vigilant, and certainly the communication with the contractor. Because if AHS sends me a message saying, "Your contractor has been contacted. Oh, they didn't reach you, so we canceled the order," but nobody has reached out, so they shouldn't cancel the order. That has been a cause of grief for us with them.

    The coverage is good. I appreciate when the contractors come out, the stuff that they cover. But our recent experience was annoying. We ended up having to find our own contractor to come and fix the issue and pay out of pocket. It's just getting folks that actually can come out and do the work. We're still with our contract. We don't wanna cancel it, but they can do better.

    I submit claims over the internet and sometimes, it seems like it's a little harder to navigate than picking up the phone and talking to a rep. But other than that, almost immediately, I'd get an email letting me know that the request for service has been seen and that they'd have a service person contact me within the next 24 hours. Usually, what happens is I have to reach out to the service people to find out when they're going to be there. For my dryer claim, I had to go online and find out when the contractor was coming. Then, they called me a day or two before to let me know that they were still going to come and 30 minutes prior to the appointment, they called to let me know they were on their way.

    I have American Home Shield in two states and Oklahoma, and I have homes in Arizona. My service has been hot and cold. Sometimes I get it right and sometimes, I have some outstanding work orders that were filed in February, they're still not resolved. The Arizona seems to not want to approve much. So, they get back to me quick and tell me why they do not approve it. But the Oklahoma experience is they approve a lot, but getting it resolved is the issue, getting the parts or getting the replacement funds actually sent because they have to send me an email approving it, then I send in my receipts. And I am sent after a certain time over to Asia so I have Asian people answering the phone, who don't seem to understand what the company is about and it's hard to understand what they were saying, and they couldn't understand me.

    But once I fight through all of that, in Oklahoma, I'm happy with the resolution. They've been fair about supporting me with getting the appliance replaced or repaired, but it takes so long. Whereas my Arizona experience, I'm not sure what I'm getting for my monthly fee because it seems nothing is ever covered. There's a small percentage of things that they will cover, but I would go out of pocket and pay vendors. So, it's interesting. But it's the same company.

    When the reps delivered the item, my shutoff valve was broken, so they were unable to install it the same day. They asked me to fix it with the help of a plumber and asked me to call American Home Shield so someone can come and install it. So, I called them and they assigned a technician. I asked him to come by Thursday and he said he would check his schedule and let me know. I’m not staying in this home and I came here and waited for him. I called him and he said that he couldn’t come but he would come the next day. He told me that he would call me and let me know but he didn't do that. And he said he was not doing my install and he was going to cancel it. I immediately called American Home Shield and asked for them to open another work order for me so they could reassign that to the other technician. They said they didn't get the chance to find one for me.

    The installation is not finished yet and AHS is telling me that they are still looking for the technician to assign for my work order. It would be helpful if they can complete it.

    American Home Shield seems like a good idea. However, my experience just hasn't been the best. I thought I had water leaking in my bathroom because the pipes made a noise. Apparently, it was just the pipe. When the guy came out, that's what he said. When the water runs in the sink or if they flush the toilet upstairs, it sounded like dripping inside of the wall. So, my initial call to AHS was to have them come out and check that for me. When Josh came from Water Control Plumbing, he said, "There's no issue. However, I can make sure just to ease your mind." He put a hole in the wall above the tub to show me that the pipes weren't leaking. And I said, "Okay, that's fine." So, they had another person come out the very next day in order to patch the hole. Days later, I saw a water spot on my ceiling. I called back and it was a recall.

    I was told by the person whom I spoke to on the phone, "This is just a recall since it's the same room. You won't be charged." I said, "Perfectly fine." They came out once again. There was no issue. So, I thought I was done with it. I received an email a week later saying that AHS received a request for service. I instantly called and said I didn't make that call. When I asked what was going on, they said, "We received your request for this service call." I said, "I don't know what this is about. I don't know what's going on with this. I didn't make the call. No one is authorized to make the call in my home except for me." So, they canceled that one. The last person I spoke to said it was April 29th.

    On May 1st, I got another email for the same thing, "We received your request for service." I once again did not make that request. So, I called again and said, "I thought my account was supposed to be investigated or whatever because, apparently, someone is making requests on my behalf. It was not me. I don't have a reason at this point because they told me nothing is leaking." They said someone named Mr. ** called. But there's no Mr. ** here. The only Mr. ** is my father. He lives in Missouri. So, I don't understand why.

    I called back because I saw that it was a $100 debit being taken from my account. I said, "There's no one who is supposed to come out. I called to have the thing canceled. Can you guys issue me a refund?" That was last week. They said it would take three business days for it to be refunded. I said, "Okay, fine." So, I called again today after noticing that it wasn't refunded. They said, "Sean from Water Control said he came out." I asked when. They said May 1st. So, I called to have the thing canceled. Why would he still come out and why would AHS still charge me?

I told them that the other toilet wasn't giving me trouble, but I put them in the same time so it might be needing same part replaced in the other one. They said they'd see about getting back out there and if American Home Shield would give them an okay to come out and replace that part in the other toilet. I told them about the sink, the faucet was real low. They said they'd see about if American Home Shield would okay replacing it. They told me to keep an eye on it if it leaked again because it was old. They fixed it and it worked but being old, they weren't sure if it would start leaking again later on.

    I've had American Home Shield for eight years and they're responsive. I appreciated that. They're good about coming out repairing. We had a dryer repaired, a stove repaired, and things that kept us from having to replace them. I'm fine with that. American Home Shield swore to me that if the contractor says something needs to be replaced, then they would replace it. In the end, they don't pay for anything. I was paying American Home Shield $50, to begin with. It's now $62. I paid $125 for the service call for a tech to come out. This warranty has not paid off for itself. I had a claim for our HVAC and it's been back and forth with them. Everything that's needed to be repaired on the unit has to be covered out of pocket. We didn't even go with the company that was brought out by American Home Shield.

    My husband said, "AHS is only gonna give us X amount of dollars." They just keep wanting to repair it. When I called to cancel, the rep said, "Let me send out a different tech and give us a chance." I heard her out and agreed but it was the same thing. They said they didn't cover that. It was just frustrating. My system is old but we've maintained it. We have everything serviced and I take care of stuff. I get my dryer vents vacuumed out by a professional company every year.

    With regard to the AC, I was explaining to the rep that the reason I am coming back to them about the issue was that it's the same repair that keeps being done or it's a similar repair from an older part that's in it. It's thousands of dollars worth of Freon that I have to put in every year. I put another $2,000 into the unit. I've paid for the cost of half of the AC unit or almost the whole AC unit when I'm thinking of the cost. I'm including the furnace, too.

    That aside, the techs that came were good. They're known to be more of a, "We're here to fix it, not to replace it." That's the problem. The first technician that came out said, "You guys absolutely need to replace that. That's what I'm gonna put in the notes." I said I was fine with repairing the unit but the problem I have was that it keeps leading back to the same issue. We've had several contractors for HVAC come out and they said that with the number of things that needed to replace in here, it was just going to be the same problem over and over.

    I said to the second contractor that came in, "You're our fourth person in here, not including the people that we have regularly service it every year, like cleaning and all that. I would love to hear your feedback on what you think is wrong with the system. But I'll tell you right now, we've been told by four different companies, we have a leak and that it doesn't matter how much Freon they put in, it's still going to have a leak. We can replace the coil, we can replace all these different things. But it's basically like rebuilding the whole unit, which makes absolutely no sense." We just had our HVAC replaced today. As boring as it is, read your policy. I read mine very well and it seemed like the stuff that American Home Shield "won't cover" is to the point of, how would a consumer know that that's even a normal part that would need to be replaced? I don't understand the loopholes because pretty much nothing is covered.

The tech was really nice and on time. They called and said when he was going to be here and then gave us a 30-minute time window, to let us know when he was on his way. He checked out everything. There was a follow-up that we had to do on a repair that needed to be done that he didn't catch, but I don't know if it's something that was even included in his tune-up coverage. It so happened that it was right after he came that we had to call in for something else. But I don't think the two were related. He probably just didn't look at whatever the problem was. It was internal.

    The service request that I did the second time was online and that was really easy.

    He was professional and he knew what the problem was right away. It’s just simply a filter. He took it off, cleaned it, and said, “No charge.” He noticed that I had pretty much new appliances and he explained to me how dangerous a dryer is if it's not cleaned out. He took the lint trap off and vacuumed it all out. He also helped me with a couple of other things and it cost me 50 bucks for a service repair on that. He was in and out of there.

    Everything went smoothly when I used the warranty. My oven would not turn on. The tech was on time, professional, and had a solution to the problem fairly quickly. They had to order a part. Once they had that, it only took 20 minutes.

    My experience was horrible. A technician from A-US Air came out one day and diagnosed the issue to be my inside unit. They said what needed to be done and that it would be no cost to me. A couple of days later American Home Shield, called me and reviewed with me my out of pocket cost. They indicated all the issues that needed to be done per the agreement and what I was responsible for. I told the rep it sounded like they were revising my outside unit as well and the rep said yes. I told him that was not what the guy told me when he came and diagnosed the inside unit. The rep said, "This is what we have here. This is your cost and we can't move forward until you agree." I told him I was gonna agree to the charges because I needed my unit on.

    After doing the agreement, I was told that they were going to contact this guy, Kenny, with A-US Air so he would know that I have agreed and we could proceed. It took weeks before American Home Shield had the agreement in their possession. Every day I was calling. A-US Air said I needed to agree to the charges. I'd call American Home Shield and they'd say, "We have already told them we were going to pay our portion, and you have agreed to your portion." That went on day after day. I was making four to five calls a day between American Home Shield and A-US Air. I finally asked someone with American Home Shield if they could send me another contractor and she said they couldn't because A-US Air already came out and did the job.

    I called A-US Air and as soon as they got my name and address, they automatically transferred me to Kenny. I asked if there was anybody else that I could talk to other than Kenny because Kenny was not returning the call. I left six messages on his voicemail. That went on and on until I spoke with American Home Shield. They said they spoke with A-US Air and A-US Air was going to give me a call within 24 hours. I asked, "Ma'am, are they open on Saturday? Today is Friday. We need to know whether I'm gonna have air and when." She said, "According to our records, your service should be installed Monday, the 9th."

    Early that Monday morning, I called A-US Air. They sent me to Kenny's voicemail again. I called A-US air again. That time, they said, "If you would like to leave us a text message, we will respond." I sent a text message thinking someone would get back to me but there was no response. I called American Home Shield again. That time, I got the most helpful young lady. Her name was Shay, and she called A-US air. She asked to speak to someone, and the lady said, "Let me connect you to Kenny." Shay told her, "We don't want to talk to Kenny because the customer has left numerous messages on Kenny's machine. Kenny is not returning any calls." The lady said she'd connect Shay to Chuck. Shay waited for the connection to Chuck but didn't get a response for seven minutes.

    Shay told me the rep either disconnected or she had her on an extended hold. She said they were leaving her no choice but to file a complaint because they were not operating business the way American Home Shield expects them to operate. But before she would do that, she called one last time and spoke with somebody named Cheryl. She told Cheryl the extent of my calls and that I had been waiting right into day 15. Shay also told Cheryl they needed someone from A-US Air to call me back. If not, they would have no choice but to file a complaint. Cheryl took that information down and told Shay she would send it to someone and if we did not hear back from them, to call them back.

    Later on that afternoon, someone texted me and said, "Hi, this is Keith. I'm returning the text message." Right after he sent me the text message, he called and asked, "What can I help you with?" I said, "Can you start by reviewing the notes that's been going on for about 15 days." Then he said he could get somebody out for me on Friday. This was Tuesday. On Thursday, Chuck called me and said, "Hi, this is Chuck. I just got a message that said for me to call." I said, "Chuck, that message probably went to you on Monday. Keith called me on Tuesday and had set an appointment for me tomorrow." He said, "It doesn't matter who set the appointment as long as we are gonna get you taken care of tomorrow. Did he tell you how much you owe?" I said, "I've been told for the last 15 days I owe 2475. I'll write you guys to check. But can someone give me a detailed listing of what I'm paying 2475 for?" He said, "I can send it to you now."

    He sent it to me and as I was reviewing it, I asked what the actual bill was and if it was for my inside unit and outside unit. He said they were just doing my inside unit. I told him the man from American Home Shield said it was the inside and out. He said the rep from American Home Shield didn't know what he was talking about. They got this bid rolled up where American Home Shield was paying a portion and I was paying a portion, and they got American Home Shield thinking it was the inside and out. Yet, he was saying American Home Shield didn't know what they were talking about.

    I had a client in my office when he called me and he said, "Let me call my air conditioning man. Let me see if he's available to go out and at least give you another diagnosis." He called his air conditioning guy and asked if he could come out to my house and see if he could put some refrigerant in my unit. The guy came out and checked the inside unit. He asked, "Where's your leak? Who told you you had a leak in your unit? What did he show?" He took out the core and said, "I don't see any refrigerant stains." He was all in the unit and I told him that guy who initially came didn't do that. He said, "If he didn't do that, how did he know that the leak is here? Where is your outside unit?" I told him it was around the patio. He went and looked at the outside unit. Then he came back and said, "Ma'am, your leak is on your outside unit. There's nothing wrong with your inside unit."

    These people from A-US Air were coming in the morning to change out my inside unit and there was not an issue there. My son asked how much would the new guy charge me to fix the outside unit. He said $2,500. I got to pay $2,500 to fix the outside and $2,475 to fix the inside, but they were not gonna work together because the refrigerant is different. It was gonna be at my advantage to change some bolts, which is $5,500. I asked when could he get it done. He said he could be back the next day afternoon. I told him I would pay him $5,500 to come and fix my unit because we had no other choice. The inside had to be correlated to the outside for it to work properly. I called American Home Shield and told the lady exactly what happened. I also told her I was going to file a complaint against American Home Shield and A-US Air.

    The icemaker would make ice but it wouldn't dispense. The unit inside of the icemaker operates and turns the blades that will allow the ice to dispense and because the tray was cracked where the blades will turn, the blades would grind into the plastic. It would sometimes dispense plastic shavings in the ice. After a while, it got to the point where it didn't want to turn at all because it had gotten stuck. So the whole entire container that held the ice had to be replaced. It's working beautifully now. We have had American Home Shield for a long time and every time we call them, they give us excellent service. They get the best individuals or the best companies that they feel can handle the job. It's a wonderful company and we never have a problem with it at all.

    American Home Shield is okay, but sometimes whoever they send out doesn't take time to find out the problem. I had a problem with my sink. A guy came out and saw that the faucet was leaking but said he didn't know where the water was coming from. He didn't stay here long enough to find out. It was 20 minutes at the most. I had to call a plumber to come out because it would have messed up my kitchen cabinets plus floors. The guy came out and found exactly what it was. He took the time and found out where it was coming from. I used to have American Home Shield years ago when I was in my other home. They replaced the washing machine for me. They also replaced a stove. I haven't had that problem with them. If they couldn't fix an item, they replaced it.

    The pre-season check that A-US Air of Texas did was great and my most recent claim was an actual repair for a dryer. The drum wouldn't turn and it was repaired. I like that with American Home Shield, I can just call and say I need some help and they send somebody out. The contractors have all been great.

    American Home Shield has been here for a variety of my appliances and whenever I call them, it's a simple fix and they initiate the work order. I call the contractor and they make an appointment with me, and they come out when they say they're going to and do the work they're going to do. So, I'm happy with them. I don't know what I would do without AHS. I started with my air conditioner and then, they did my washing machine. Then, they did my dryer, the dishwasher and now, the hot water heater. They also did some plumbing and some electrical work. In the last plumbing claim, my hot water heater exploded and I got a brand new one installed. I only had to pay 875 out-of-pocket to bring it up to code. The contractors that AHS sent out were excellent, professional and knew what they were doing.

    I had a leak that was not covered. They sent paperwork saying why it was not and that was fine. The technician was excellent. The AHS people are also friendly. They seem to take their jobs seriously.

    American Home Shield has been very responsive when we have contacted them. Recently, the contractor rekeyed our locks. They did a fine job. One time, we had a contractor out to look at some AC. It was a thermostat issue. The contractor promptly fixed it. So, we were happy.

    They did four doors for the rekey and it was quick. 10 minutes tops. However, I called in sick one day when I wasn’t sick that they were able to get me in. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult to schedule with them. So that was a disappointing thing.
