We had a faucet that was leaking everywhere. I'd had somebody out from American Home Shield two times before and it had worked for a little bit, and then eventually failed. This guy took it all apart, figured out that it was just corrosion, cleaned it and put it back in. It's working beautifully now. He figured out what the actual issue was, which was great. There were two things that I was wanting him to do something with and he took care of both of them. He looked at them both and fixed them very quickly. He was gone in 45 minutes. I called on Saturday and the repair guy was here on Sunday. It was amazing. I totally would recommend AHS again. I like being able to order the request online though I feel a little nickeled and dimed with the $75 every single time. I've called for five things over the course of the last 10 months, and the technician comes in and spends 10 minutes. Other than the $75 charger each time, everything is fine.

When I got here, the technician came and took me over to the box, shined his flashlight into it and said, "Most likely, water got in there and that shorted out your system and caused it to arc," and tripped our breakers. He said, "For us to investigate further, we have to cut the sheetrock and go behind the box to be able to see all the wires inside that little hole. Put the PVC tube that goes from the box inside the wall. The other option is to pull the whole box off the wall." I said, "Okay." And he said, "We can't cut the hole in the wall without charging you because American Home Shield doesn't pay for access." I said, "I can cut the hole."
I told him I woke up, my light was flashing. I had electricity, my alarm clock was flashing. So, I knew the electricity went out. I got up and went to the kitchen, turned the light on. I didn't have any lights in the kitchen. I went around the house and checked everything else and I seemed to have power everywhere else. So, I assumed that a breaker popped in the kitchen. I went out to the breaker, opened it up and I had several breakers that were popped. So, I reset all those breakers and I closed the box. When I pushed the box to close it, because you have to push it and lift up for this little catch to catch the bottom, it was like a lightning bolt, then a boom came out of the bottom of the box while I was holding the box, holding the door. It freaked me out, but I didn't have time to get scared because it happened so fast.
I opened the box and the main and several breakers had popped. So, I reset the breakers and the main, closed the box easily, and went on about my day. An hour later, there was another boom and I went back out there and everything had popped again. So, I called AHS and said I needed somebody to come out here because whatever is going on is beyond my knowledge. I didn't want to go and reset everything because I didn't want it to happen again. And we had a rainstorm the night before and that is what tripped electricity. I assumed everybody in my neighborhood lost power at some point during the night because when we have a big rainstorm, everybody in the neighborhood seems to lose electricity.
The tech said, "Okay, I'll go back to my office to write AHS and come out here another time with another person because it's going to take two people to check all these wires." I got a phone call later from him saying that AHS denied the claim. I said, "Okay. Well, I need it fixed. Give me a quote." He told me that he denied the claim because they don't cover acts of God, which was odd to me because insurance is supposed to cover unexpected things and an act of God would be an unexpected thing.
I called AHS because I was pissed off and I told the lady who answered the phone, "Explain to me how God put water inside my wall. Because he told me water got inside this little tube and shorted something out." And she acted like she didn't know what I was talking about. I said, "You denied my claim because of an act of God. So tell me how God put water inside my wall." And she said, "We don't cover acts of God. That's just against our policy." I said, "That's not what's wrong with my box. There's something shorting out and I need somebody to come fix it."
She said, "We have a second opinion thing if you want to use that." And I said, "Yes. Send out the company that came out a few months earlier to change out a breaker." She said, "Okay. If we get the same report from them, then you have to pay us another $70. If it's a different report, then you don't." I said, "Okay, that's fine, whatever. Just send them out." They came out. The next day, I got a phone call and this guy on the line said, "It's gonna be $140 an hour to come out and troubleshoot your systems, and I can give you a quote to repair it from there." I said, "What do you mean troubleshoot it? You were out here yesterday and that's what you're supposed to be doing is figuring out what was wrong." Then he said, "They denied that claim." I said, "Okay. Tell me what you told them. I want to see the report that you sent to them." And he said, "I don't know. I'll let you know," and hung up the phone on me.
So, I called AHS and said those poeple were fishy. It sounded like a scam. I said, "You need to send me what they sent you that you used to determine to deny my claim." And she said she can't. I asked why and she said she doesn't have a way. She said, "I can read it to you." And what that guy wrote up was that it rained, water got in the box and fried the box. But that is not what happened. This incident happened twice and it was after it stopped raining and it was after I reset the breakers. And she said, "We can only go by what he said. Give me their numbers." I gave her the number and she called them. I was on hold for about 20 minutes still. She went on to another line and called them.
She got the other guy, and she came back and said, "Yeah, they sound kind of fishy to me too." I was like, "Okay, I'm glad they sound that way to you because you're not gonna look at me like I'm lying or crazy." And she said, "Yeah. This guy wouldn't even let me talk to the guy you said you talked to." While I was on the phone with her, while she explained to me the phone call that she just had, I got three phone calls, one from the Talid brother guy, one from Malik, and one from the technician. And I got a text from the technician shortly after that. So, I told her, "When are these other people going to come out?" And she told me they would come out Friday.
They called me up and said, "The owner of the company is going to come out -- he's a master electrician -- because everybody else is busy. So, he's taking calls. But he's going to come out." I said, "Okay. If you need me to cut this hole in the wall so you can examine the inside of the wall and all the wires, let me know and I'll do it today. So when he gets here, everything will be ready for him." He said, "Don't do that. Let me call him to see what he wants to do."
He called me back and said, "Don't cut a hole in the wall. Most likely, he believes he can figure out what's wrong with it from the box access." These two guys came out, opened the box up, examined the box, got me and said, "Come out here. What did these other people do?" I told him, "They shined a light in this hole and he said there's a shape down there somewhere and water got in there probably and jumped the water."
Here is what's funny. When I talked to AHS the first time, I told her what the guy told me about the wire being there and water getting down in there and probably shortening it out. And I asked, "Is that covered?" And she said, "It depends." "It depends on what?" "It depends on if it's older, if an animal chewed the wire." I said, "How are you gonna determine that?" And she's said, "The technician will be able to tell." And it made me laugh because how the electrician would figure out if those are bite marks from a rat or cracked wire from being old? And if a rat bit into the wires that caused my breakers to pop, that rat would be dead because that means there was a hot current that would have hit him when he bit the bare wire. So, there would be a dead rat in there. I thought she was just reading something and it didn't make any sense. Probably some lawyer wrote it to get AHS plausible deniability.
Those people came out, one shined a light in the hole and said, "I don't see anything wrong with there." And they talked to each other for a second. He said, "Let's just turn everything on and see what happens." So, they turned all the breakers on, reset the main, and within five seconds, boom, and a lightning bolt shined. They all jumped back and were, "Whoa, what the hell? That shouldn't have happened." And they talked again. He said, "Okay, let's just pull all the breakers off this side." They pulled four breakers off the one pole on the right-hand side and they reset all the breakers that popped, and they turned the rest of the breakers on the left side, turned the breakers on the right side. Because the first thing they did was they turned everything off, then turned the main on and flipped the breakers one by one. And when they got to one, that was when everything popped.
They didn't know what caused it, they just knew that it happened when they got to this one breaker. So, they took everything off that side, and they did everything again with those breakers -- four of them -- off the post. Nothing happened. So, he said, "Okay. It's not a short in the system because that means if there's a short in the system, there's somewhere in the wall that would be happening." So, they plugged the top one in, turned it on, nothing happened. Plugged the next one in, turn it on, nothing happened. Put the next one on, turned it on, nothing happened. They had one left. He said, "It's got to be this one." So, they stuck their meters on it to see if it had a current, they did some home testing and continuity testing with that breaker and other breakers to see if there was a crossover somewhere, and they all got zero.
They got no currents in this breaker, no ohms in the breaker, no continuity in the breaker with other breakers. So, they were confused because this was odd because if the breaker was tripping because of a fault, like an arc fault, something touching something else, they should have got some kind of current or feedback from their equipment. So, they decided, "Okay. Let's just replace this breaker." So, they replaced it, plugged it all back in, turned everything on, nothing happened. Waited around for five minutes, nothing happened. And they left. I walked into the kitchen and I turned it on. I still didn't have any lights in there.
So, I ran outside, I got him and said, "Hey, I don't have lights in the kitchen." He goes, "Do you have lights everywhere else?" I said, "Let me check." While they were walking back in, I ran around the house and checked and everything was on except the kitchen. So, they came back in there and said, "Okay, let's look at this." The kitchen from the beginning is where the only place I didn't have power. So, they did a bunch of tests and they couldn't figure out why it didn't have power. There are two switches on one wall that are next to each other. One switch controls the undercabinet lighting, one switch is a three-way that controls the kitchen lights with the opposite side. But the one with the undercabinet lighting wasn't the power one, it was the passive one. So, the one on the other side was the powered one, but it got no power.
They hooked something up to it and they took a wand and they were running through the wall. They said they were sending a signal through the wire and it tells them where the wire's at so they know what's going on. We went into the bedroom and he couldn't find that signal there where the box is on the outside. And they said, "Because we're a second opinion and none of this was on his write-up, we can't really do anything because they won't pay us to do it. So, you'll have to call them back and have us come back out here to do just this." I said, "That's ** because this is all one issue. It all happened at the same time." And he said, "The way AHS works is they go by component, not by issue." I said, "All right. I'll deal with AHS on that." And I said, "Can you get me lights up here?" He said, "Yeah, that's not a problem." So, they jumped the hot power from the undercabinet lighting over to another switch and left.
I started getting automated surveys and I gave DT a bad survey. And I wrote on there specifically, "When I talked to the owner of the company, he sounded very shady. And that's why they're getting a bad thing." The technician called me at 5:36 and said, "What did those guys come out there and do? Because I can't believe that they just changed a breaker and fixed all your problems." I said, "That's exactly what they did." He said, "No, there's something else going on. You just need to be careful because that's not right. Something else is wrong." And I said, "I got electricity now." And he said, "I'm getting hammered because of the bad review." I told him, "Y'all didn't get a bad review because of you. You got a bad review because the owner of the company sounded very shady" because he was here, would charge me $140 an hour to troubleshoot it for however many hours it takes to figure out what's wrong.
When the technician was telling me, he was telling me around six or eight hours because they had to run every wire that's coming out of that box to figure out which one is messed up. There's a lot of wires coming out of the box. So, I'm looking at $3,000 to $4,000. He said, "I'm at Malik's house. Do you want to talk to him?" I said, "No, I got no reason to." He got in trouble by his bosses because they got a bad review, even though the bad review was about him, not the technician. That's where it ended.
The second people that came out said, most likely, the hot wire to this switch is broken somewhere in the crawlspace between the first and second floor. And he said, "In order to troubleshoot that, we would have to come out here and start cutting sheetrock and all that and that could get very expensive." I said, "Okay. Can it cause a fire or anything like that?" He said, "No. Just if another breaker pops, if something happens, you'll get a signal back to whatever breaker goes to this kitchen from there and it'll pop. So, you don't have to worry about that." And they left and went onto their next call.

I love American Home Shield. A dishwasher went out. At first, the tech couldn't figure it out. So, he just rebuilt it. He replaced the electronic leads inside it. Otherwise, it would have cost us about $800 to put a new one in. It works like it's supposed to now.

There was water that was getting in my unit and then it would freeze. The tech came very quickly, and he was great. He talked to me and everything worked fine, except for one thing. There was a part that he needed to replace in the backend, so replaced it, but he didn't do the bottom icemaker. I can usually hear the ice drop in the bottom. I've been listening for it and it's still not making ice below. He's coming back out next week ‘cause we're not getting ice below.

The most recent couple of claims went very well. One of them didn't work in my favor because it wasn't a covered item. But as far as what was covered and the parts that American Home Shield could help with, they were very efficient. I liked it. With the past coverage we had, it took them a while to find anybody who would provide the service. They didn't have anybody servicing our area. And that's a big improvement now with this time with American Home Shield. I made the claim online and the technician was very quick to communicate with me, and to get out here. That's important when you're out of water. The communication was very good from the vendor or the company that was going to provide service.
There was something in the wiring. But this gentleman analyzed it and said, “Okay, we don't have power here. So let's go check here, let's check here.” And it simply was a matter of one of the breakers, which neither one of us noticed, that flipped off. So, there was no actual component at failure. It was just that there was a breaker circuit that flipped off and he analyzed and found it. We got the pump back on. The other one was our water heater, which unfortunately, had a lot of mineralization in it. Another company with another technician had the opportunity to replace it, and he opted instead to replace one component. I was standing right there. It could have been covered under warranty and he chose not to. I was told that built-up mineralization in a water heater is not covered and I understand that.
I would give AHS good marks for at least my experience with them. I've not had to do anything very complex. I had a water leak that they said, “It's covered up to here, but not here.” So, I paid out of pocket. It was explained to me and I saw it in the contract. There were parts of the plumbing they take care of and parts they don't. You put out $100 and hope that it is a covered item. And if not, you're out for $100. But having a technician that actually services the area is nice.
I was not happy with one contractor and that had to do with our garage door. If all you're looking for is to get a garage door that goes up and down, it went up and down. The garage door opener went out. And the fellow that came out of Sacramento was young, and had a hard time mounting the drive that he brought. Ge drilled a lot of extra holes that didn't work into our garage wall, until he finally got something that worked. But it makes a lot of noise, and it's not smooth. It's bottom end. It's not as nice as the unit that I had. It was noticeable that that was not up to the standards now. That was a couple of years ago. So, if I were to call on a garage door opener failure now, maybe I’d get somebody better. It's probably luck of the draw on what technician you get, but the last two have been very good.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We are working to improve the overall customer experience. Thanks for your patience during this process.

I got American Home Shield the year after the original warranty wore off. And it has been helpful as I’m entering year eight in the house. Things are starting to do their thing. So, it was good having coverage on most of the structures. Appliances, pipes, and all these types of things is good having that, because I know I can just pay that fee and get my service taken care of. Also, I recently discovered all the discounts I get on air filters and HVAC tune-up. I enjoy it.
I just log on and find whatever the issue. I always go on and check my coverage to make sure whatever I’m calling for is covered. So far, everything that I called for was. And when I’m able to call and check for the coverage, AHS can just submit the thing I’m having issues with. I also like that they don’t charge me immediately. They wait until somebody comes out and services the issue before the charge. I have recommended AHS. In some of my friends’ cases, they forget they have it. I would say, “You’re paying this money every month. You know that, right?” When something goes wrong, that’s the first thing I check. “Is this covered? Great. ‘Cause that’s why I’m calling.” Get AHS. Use it.

American Home Shield finds people for you and do their job. If something goes wrong, you're able to call. If they would cover things outside like electrical lights, outlets and things of that nature, that would be great. But just being able to call and get the service handled makes it beneficial. Most of the contractors that they sent were good ones. They’re not here all day. They come out and get it done. I haven't needed anything replaced but things have been covered.

My air conditioner was not working and somebody came out and said that I didn't really know how to use the thermostat. Then, it still wasn't working even after they changed things around on the thermostat. They came out again and did some work on it, and now, it's working. On the 1st of April, I called American Home Shield because every time my washing machine would spin, it would get off balance and kind of walk across the room. SOS came out and said that it needed a new stabilizer bar. So, they did that. Then they put two towels in to see if it would spin okay, and it did fine. But as soon as I washed a regular load, then it was off balance again. It's a large capacity washer, so I want to be able to wash my blankets. The guy came out again. They had put new stabilizer bars in, and he worked with it for quite a while.
The people from SOS were very nice. They said they had checked out everything and even with new stabilizer bars, it was not holding the balance. They told me they were going to report it as unrepairable because of all the different things that they've done. They said that I would hear from American Home Shield. I never heard from them. I called and they said, "Oh, yeah, it's in for review." I said okay knowing that they might just be backlogged. I waited a week, called them again, and the rep said, "Well, they are saying that you're trying to wash too heavier things." I knew that wasn't what the technician had told me because he said that I should be able to wash blankets and towels.
The rep said she was gonna get in touch with them. I went ahead and called SOS, and they said, "I'm sorry this is happening. We tried to tell him it needed to be replaced. We're dealing with somebody in another country. And I don't think they understand what we're saying." But he said, "I'm going to re-fill out the report, and I'm going to call them directly. I'll take care of it for you."
Since April 1st, I have not had a washer that works right. I've been very happy with the people that AHS has sent out because these guys were not just pedaling around. They had the washer part, they were checking it all out and they ordered the parts for it. I haven't had any trouble with the service people. But right now, I'm very dissatisfied with AHS.

I’m very pleased because when my appliances broke down, I was able to go on my phone and make an appointment without having to call in a representative.

Usually, they contact me the next day when I submit a claim. I get an email alerting me who the contractor is and their contact information, giving me a chance to call them. If I don't call them right away, then they call me. AHS is pretty good. Sometimes, I have to call a few times to get things done. But other than that, they always try to work with me.

I initially called American Home Shield because my dishwasher quit working. So the contractor came out and it needed to be replaced. They brought out a dishwasher and then they said they couldn't put it in because the plumbing needs to be updated under the sink. So I put the dishwasher in the garage. It was still boxed up and I didn't look at it.
When I got the dishwasher out to put it in because I got a plumber to come out, it was all dented up and messed up where we couldn’t use it. So then I had to call American Home Shield and make another claim for the contractor to come out and fix the dishwasher. But American Home Shield said that since I had the dishwasher since September, they couldn't replace it. So I installed it the way it was and then tried to make a repair claim. But come to find out, American Home Shield made a claim with an appliance company to come out.
Before the appliance company came out, they asked about the dishwasher and I told them that it was less than a year old. So then they told me that I needed to call the manufacturer directly because it would still be under manufacturer warranty. I did that and it was GE. So then GE said they would replace it. The same person that brought out the first dishwasher delivered the second one here, and they installed it this week.
American Home Shield's response is okay usually. But a lot of times, it seems like I don't have a lot of good luck with them. When we first moved down here, I had several faucets that leaked. The faucets were from the 70s and if they're able to be fixed, they don't replace them. So I only got a couple of the faucets replaced that were leaking. There was one faucet that I thought should have been replaced. They said they fixed it, but they wouldn't replace it and now, it's leaking again.
There are some things that American Home Shield doesn't cover, like the claim I had with the dishwasher. The people that delivered the dishwasher wouldn't install it because they said it had to be updated underneath. But American Home Shield doesn't cover the updating of it because it still had a copper pipe. So it's a little aggravating sometimes that you're out additional money. I couldn't install the dishwasher right away because I didn't have the money to pay for a plumber. When I finally got around to it, it was damaged anyway.
One time, I had a water heater busted and American Home Shield only paid for the water heater and to put it in. But I had to pay extra because they had to have some upgrading to it. But I did have to have some repairs done on my pool pipe that would have probably been more than I could have paid for. So at times, American Home Shield is worth it since it only cost me $75 a month, and then $75 for the service fee.

Every time I called, AHS would someone out. The contractors are usually here anywhere from that same day, no more than 48 hours, unless it's something over the weekend. The only thing I see different from them, they charge $100 for every person that comes out. And they take it out of your account right then and there when you call. Other companies, you pay $45, and you give it to the person who shows up.
I called on the phone, talked to someone, and American Home Shield processed the claim. The contractor came out and fixed a breaker that went bad. They're very good, professional, knowledgeable, and did a great job. The tech was very thorough. He wanted to be sure the breaker box wasn't fried, trying to be sure there wouldn't be any problems of anything happening, sparking, when he left later. At another time, I had a problem when the AC would get to a certain temperature. My outside unit would just continue to run and run and never turn off. So, I just pulled the main fuse on it to turn it off to give it some rest. I called AHS. The contractor came out, and they did a great job too.

All the technicians, except for one company, have been really well. It was the HVAC system. A company called Miyagi came out and hooked it up. They put the heating coil with the cooling coil, so our house never cooled. Our light bill got up to about $800 for three months in a row. Then they went out of business. We could never get ahold of them again. AHS should review the companies that the work is sourced out to.

The first time, Fresh Air Services fixed the fridge but because of Covid, they took a longer time until the parts came. I was without a refrigerator for more than a month. The parts finally came and they fixed it. The second time, I called about the furnace because the pipes had rusting and it leaked. I was charged $100 for that and the tech said that it was not covered by the home insurance. Besides that, American Home Shield charged monthly. So, I decided to cancel it. If the contractor couldn’t do anything, AHS should tell me on the phone that they would not cover the pipes, and this and that. And they sent the technician and he said that it was not covered, but I was charged $100.

I’m very pleased with American Home Shield. It's a sense of security having a warranty. I went online, filled out the form that was necessary to advise of what my issue was. I got a call from CK Appliance, letting me know that they were going to be the ones coming out. They came out and were wonderful. The gentleman explained to me what the problem was based on the description that I had given American Home Shield in the form. He was very kind and cordial. He told me the process involved for getting the part replaced and when he would be back. When the part came in within a week, they called and scheduled then he came out. He was ahead of schedule that day, and I wasn't home. He wanted to know if I wanted him to wait or if I wanted him to still come because my adult daughter was here. I told him he could come. He came in, fixed the part, did a test run, and was out.
I've had the warranty for over a year and it's been wonderful. I've never had a home warranty before, so this is definitely a sense of confidence. I like the way that they are sending people. So far, I've had nothing but success. When they increased their rate, it initially disturbed me but when I looked at it across the board, everybody's rates are going up, and American Home Shield is still providing very good service so I'm okay with that.

The glass cooktop had a crack running across two of the burners. I filed a claim and I got an email with Kingdom Appliance's information on it. I contacted them and they scheduled an appointment for a service tech to come out and look at the stove. The tech took pictures and said that he would have to go back to the shop to look up the information. Then, he got back to us about what they would do to take care of it. They said that they have closed the claim through Home Shield and that we needed to contact Home Shield. They gave me the information and I called Home Shield.
It turns out that the repair parts for that stove are obsolete. We talked to their reps on the phone and they got me to the department that handles all that. They sent us an email with a list of available stoves or cooktops that we can choose to have installed. They have a pretty neat deal. What we were having problems with was finding one that was similar to ours and their list was always changing because like they told us, it was live. If the unit was available, the list would show it but if it became unavailable, then it would be dropped off the list. We ended up calling Home Shield back and telling them we weren't having any luck with our list. They said we can buy one from anywhere and submit the receipt. That's what we ended up doing. We went out looking and we found one that we liked.

The service with American Home Shield has been very positive. Things are getting fixed in a timely manner. When I make a claim, I log in and click on their tab that’s asking what the problem is, with their different maintenance requests. With the last one, we did the garbage disposal. So, I clicked kitchen appliances, went through all that and put that in, and then it asked you a couple of different questions. I love that American Home Shield also has some videos instead of them having to immediately send someone out, you have a chance to fix it yourself. Then, they would tell you if you need someone to come out because it’s past your capabilities and I would to call someone out. I’ve been very happy with the technicians. They've been very straightforward with what's going on and it's been a good experience.
I like that with AHS, if I need something fixed, it will get fixed. I had to get a second call out for the first year for the garbage disposal and I thought I was gonna have to pay twice. But what was nice was they saw that I had already made a request for that item and I needed a follow up. It was nice to know that it was able to track it and then it said that it was taken care of by American Home Shield. It is a valuable resource.

I had plumbing issues and initially, I was pleased with the service. However, my original appointment was on a Wednesday, and the tech came out and told me he did not have the proper equipment to fix the problem. So, he had to reschedule and come back out that Thursday. He came out and fixed it, and I was happy until that Saturday when it seemed like every toilet in my house was all bubbling at the same time. It was some weird noise that we were hearing.
So, I called them to see if they could come back out. I had the tech's number direct because when I called the office, I got a recording. I called, and he said that there was nothing that he could do and that I would have to call American Home Shield. When I called American Home Shield, the lady wasn’t really pleasant. She said, “Well if we send somebody else out, you have to pay another 100.” I was like, “No, I’m not gonna do that.”
She said, “Well, I can put in an order for them to come out. But if it ends up being an issue that wasn't on your initial complaint, you’ll still have to pay the $100." So, I told her, “Well, go ahead and file the claim so they could call me.” They didn’t call me until Tuesday. We called another service outside of American Home Shield to rectify the problem. I was very upset. If you have an emergency like that, who wants to wait six days to get their facilities corrected?

American Home Shield is working out pretty good. It's convenient and I like the simplicity of it. If something's not working right, you just put in a request and somebody comes out. Everybody that has been sent out has been professional, respectful, quick and to the point. I've gotten washers and dryers fixed and replaced. I've gotten my microwave fixed. My oven was just fixed the other day. Every summer, I get my AC done. They've also come and unclogged the toilets.
I recommend American Home Shield. I had a friend post saying they wanted to know about home warranty and I said American Home Shield is good. The website is so great. I love how easy it is to click what's wrong and next thing you know, somebody's calling you setting up an appointment. But knowing ahead of time the cost of things in a more customer-friendly way would be good. Whenever I'm not sure if an issue is covered, it takes me a minute to go online, download the policy and try to find it.

RJ Garage Door Service was fine. They came right out a day ahead of schedule and did the work they needed to do. But my issue with the plumbing hasn't been done and I'm not satisfied at all. It took almost three days for the plumbing company that was first assigned to even give me a call. I happened to be upstairs in the bedroom. My phone is downstairs and by the time I ran downstairs, they’d already hung up. They left a message telling me to call back so they could come and get the issue scheduled to be looked at. I called them back, and all I got was a voicemail. They never called me back. I called back some time the next following week and it was the same thing.
I called American Home Shield. They said, “We'll give them a call and we'll have them call you.” It never happened. I called back to American Home Shield again. They said, “We're gonna refund you the $75. We're gonna find another plumbing company.” Big Orange Plumbing finally came out and the plumber said the problem with the faucet was it needed a new cartridge. They said they'd have to order it and that they'd get back with me. I've called them direct a couple of times and it was the same thing. I got a voicemail. I left a message asking what was going on but I got nothing.
I called American Home Shield about that. The rep said, “Let me call them, and I'll call you back. Let's try to get a three-way call.” Nothing happened. Then someone from American Home Shield called me and said, “Call me tomorrow so we can get an update status.” I told them to forget it. I'd rather get my $75 back, buy a new faucet, and I was gonna do it myself. I also told them I was not going with American Home Shield again.
I had a dryer and dishwasher claim, and I had no problem. I got a phone call within 24 hours and the repairman came out that exact day. He said he had to go get a part but he came back that day and fixed it. He was somebody local. But it seems nowadays, the plumbers that American Home Shield is hiring are further out. Every time you try to call them back, you don't get ahold of anybody. They won’t answer.

I had my dryer quit heating, and then our heater quit. I sent in two claims and the contractors were awesome. The dryer guy came out on the 8th of March. He had the part sent to the house, but he wasn't able to come back until the 29th of March. That wasn't fun, but he has his schedule too. He was very pleasant and fast. When the heater guy came on a Friday and he needed to bring in and put a new motor. So he came back Monday morning and he put that in. I'm in Amarillo, Texas and we can have every weather in a day, especially when seasons are changing over. On that same Friday, we were getting kind of warm that day. It was cold that morning. So my wife switched it over to air conditioning. But when I was getting off work, it was really hot in here and my wife has a really bad progressive lung disease, so she can't get too overheated or too cold.
We checked and it was 75 in the house. I texted the heater guy that was just there because he had told me when he was there that the air conditioner wouldn't work as great over the weekend, either because that same motor helped pull the heat out of the house. I asked him if what he did could've messed up the air conditioner in any way. He said, "I don't think so." He also said, "They kind of are there together. Just call them back and tell them you need a re-check." So I called AHS back and they re-called him out. He came back Monday afternoon. There were two wires that were taped, and he said he could have pulled them apart. He was not sure what happened. But he got it fixed that day.
When we had the hot water heater go out, the contractor came out and fixed it. A week later, all the drains were stopped up, which the contractor said could have been from the sediment in the hot water heater. Then a week after that, our heater quit. The hot water heater was $90. The other two service calls at that time were 60 each. So that was $210. But a water heater was around 1,000 bucks for a plumber at that time to come out. The drains were $120 apiece. So we paid about $200 versus somewhere around 6,000 at one time. I also had a technician come out because I thought the toilet was leaking, but it was just the flapper. The technician was really nice. He said, "If you just change this every six months, you wouldn't have to pay what you pay today."
I always want to know that AHS is still a good service to have. When the contractor came out for the dryer one time, I asked him what would it cost if I didn't have AHS. He said, "Well, it's usually just $300 for us to just to give you an estimate." So I always try to find out what it would cost so I can feel better that I'm paying about $80 a month for the service. The only time I've ever had issues was two years ago when the air conditioner went out and it took AHS three months to fix it. We had to be in a hotel for a week, and then I found a friend and we had to stay with a friend for two months. But my dogs had to stay in this hot house. It was right in the middle of summer. That was the worst experience I've ever had with them.
With the air conditioner, the contractor ordered the compressor and they then got sent the wrong one. They had a compressor that would fit my air conditioner in the shop. But because of AHS, they had to be ordered from a certain place. They wouldn't let them go buy it and bring it to the house or get one from their own shop. Then they tried to tell AHS it was freezing up and that I needed a whole new unit. But AHS said, "No, you just need to fix it." So then, the contractor came in and fixed something else.
I called AHS and yelled and cussed because it still wasn't working. They got one compressor and it killed it. So they finally called another plumber out to look at it. That plumber goes up in the attic and looks outside and he said, "You can fix all the problems you want to, but she needs a new unit." It took the third or fourth compressor before AHS finally agreed and put a new unit in. So it got fixed and it's okay. Overall, I'm still very 100% grateful for AHS.

I wasn’t looking for a replacement though. I was looking for it to be fixed, and the repair man couldn't tell me what was wrong. Neither could American Home Shield when I called them back.
Whatever the repair man told them, they said, “Well, you’re out of compliance. And we can't do anything for you.” They told me I needed to get the fire department to come and look at my hot water tank. I can't tell where I'm out of compliance. My hot water tank sits outside in a little house that my dad built over 60 years ago. It's at an enclosure and has free flow of air. It's open because we deal with gas.
What American Home Shield offers is good and the customer service was okay, but people can be so quick to flip us off. We are paying customers, and they need to listen to us then make sure we understand their policy. Submitting my claim was easy, but I’m gonna think twice and start looking for somebody else.

I am not enjoying American Home Shield’s service. I've never had a successful service call with them, but they happily take my money. My first claim with them was for some plumbing items. Without even doing any test, the plumber they chose came to his immediate expert conclusion that there was nothing that could be done about it. I spoke to somebody else, they told me that was not the case.
I called AHS for a roof leak. The company that they got didn’t come through. When they finally got a company to show up, the company maxed out the amount that I was allowed for an item. I called them back twice on my own dollar to continue working on the problem. I still have a leak in my roof and they no longer return my phone calls.
I had another plumbing issue. AHS sent the same plumbers from the first time around. They told me that I needed a new shower body because I was not getting hot or cold water. They told me to open up the wall, I opened up the wall. They replaced the shower body, but there was still no cold water coming from the pipe. They told me, “You're gonna have to open up the wall further to where the next place point would be,” which totally made sense. They left and I went to BJ’s. When I came back, my basement was flooded. What the plumber didn’t do was turn off the shower body valve that he installed. The problem with my cold water was that my pipes were not connected so, with the plumber leaving the shower body open, he just let that constant flow of water shooting out in between my walls.
My wife called for appliances. AHS set us up with a vendor who never contacted us. When I contacted them, their mailbox was full on three different occasions. I wasn't able to leave a voicemail. We called back American Home Shield and they were trying to get in touch with them, and they got the same results. But then, within a couple of minutes, that same vendor started blowing up our phone. We were no longer even trying to do business with them because we couldn't get in touch with them before so AHS put us in touch with vendor B, and we've yet to hear from them.
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you about your unresolved concerns.

American Home Shield understands that you're calling them because you've got a problem and they're super responsive.

I had American Home Shield once before and didn't like it. I got it back, and now, I do like it. Recently, I had someone come out and fix a leak that I had in my faucet and he was very professional. He could have just put it back together, and it probably would have leaked again. Instead, he put in a longer piece of piping. So that way, if it becomes loose again, it won't matter because it's longer and it won't start leaking again.
The first time when I joined AHS and then quit, I had a problem with the AC. We have allergies and health concerns without the AC in the house. I have a CPAP machine. It took like four weeks and they still had not come out to fix it. So, I was very upset about that because it was taking forever. But then, afterward, we went ahead and signed up again and I paid out of my own pocket to get the AC cleaned and tuned up. Then, it was working fine. After I signed up, the motor went bad on the unit inside. I called and, that time, they came out very quickly and fixed it. So, it's been much faster. I's working much better and I'm recommending the company to friends saying they're good.

When we first got American Home Shield, we enjoyed it. When we had a problem I put in a request, and somebody came out. It was great. Last December, we had an issue with our washing machine. Because American Home Shield couldn't find somebody to fix it, I had to go find somebody to come fix it, pay the bill then supply American Home Shield the bill so that they could pay me. It was awful. It was months and months and months. The washing machine went down in December and got it fixed now in March. It needed parts and there were issues going along with it but American Home Shield left me holding the bag. My husband feels we should dump it and try ourselves to find service people.
I had an issue with my refrigerator right after that. That seemed to have gotten fixed quickly. American Home Shield is a nice service to have if when something breaks. You're able to get somebody to be able to at least contacted to fix it. However, I'm the one that ends up following up with service people.

AHS has been performing well according to the contract. They also seemed to offer broader coverage than others. Paul's Appliances Service came out and the technicians seemed very qualified. However, at times, there was a lag because of the process, which was for them to come out and assess what was needed. If they couldn't repair it, it had to be ordered, and then they had to reschedule to come out to install it. So, it was a lengthy process. There needs to be an evaluation when you request service, “Is this a real immediate need?” But submitting claims online has been very convenient for me.

I checked the fuse panel and didn't have any blown circuits. I called American Home Shield and they sent out an electrician. He was in here, and I followed him around then he told me about the GTI plugs. In the guest bathroom, we have a GTI plug and it wasn't tripped. He said, “You must have some more around here.” There was a GTI plug out in the garage, behind the shelf, that tripped. I didn’t even know there was a plug behind that shelf.

The only problem I have is I've been paying prior to the techs coming out and it seems like every single time, AHS sends me a notice that I owe them money. Then, I would have to call in and talk to somebody but it's like talking to deaf ears. I'm the one that has to provide proof that I paid the fee, when I paid it on their website. Lately, I've just been throwing them in a pile. It gets kind of old and when I talk to people, half the time, they can't give me a straight answer. The last time I did it, I had to scrounge around and contact the contractor. I asked him to send me the bill and he sent me a copy. I had to send it to AHS after I had already paid them to avoid all this stuff.
Also, every time a contractor comes out, they want to bang you for a permit which they never pull. They want to put a new tub in or a new strap or they want to put recert code, which they don't have to do legally, but they're lying to people. But not all the guys that come out are bad. Especially in our primary residence, the technicians that come out and work on the ovens and all the appliances have been fantastic. It’s a convenient service for me. If I called a plumber out to fix something and I have to pay him out of my pocket, it's gonna cost me $200 or $400 and with AHS, it gets fixed for $75.

When my air conditioner failed, American Home Shield sent a representative from Royal Flush AC & Heating.

They approved for me to get it fixed but I found out that my air conditioner was not working again the next day. One said that it was some of the pipes had come out of the hose. They didn't put it in right. They told me the drum was dirty. I had to pay 299 for that because American Home Shield did not cover that. It was terrifying to me to even think about what happened with that because it made me very nervous. I was wondering if they were gonna fix it or if they were gonna give me a new one. It seems like they like to do the patching and pay the 125 instead of saying I need a new air conditioner.
American Home Shield maybe needs to look at different companies. I paid the 299 and the man who came out after they cleaned the drum for me said that was what American Home Shield would charge. I could have found somebody cheaper. I ended up paying 125 plus 299. Also, when they got ready to come in the house with the part, he was looking in his trunk, and I could tell there was something wrong. He didn't have a piece that was supposed to go to the air conditioner, so he had to go to another place to find it. In the meantime, I was hot, cold, and hot. I've been with American Home Shield for a couple of years and I don't plan on stopping it because I might end up needing them if the air conditioner completely goes dead and they can't fix it. There's no need to go to another company when I've already paid American Home Shield enough money for all of my appliances.

The most expensive part of the unit needed to be replaced and they hemmed hawed around trying to figure out whether they were gonna approve it or not. It was August in Texas without an AC for a month and it was horrible. They finally agreed to pay for the compressor and it got fixed.

Every year with the AC is very frustrating to try to deal with them because they would cover some parts and not other parts. That's kind of been a theme.
Even recently, I had a toilet issue and they said that because it wasn't due to what they considered wear or tear and they wouldn't pay for it. It's very frustrating to me because that's how the toilet came into my possession. From what I understand from the plumbers, whoever built it put two flanges on top of each other to raise it up enough so that all the holes fit in properly to the toilet. That's pretty common practice but it's not the best way to do it. It still ends up breaking and it rusts out, and then it starts leaking. It was impossible for me to know that before the toilet broke.
I also had a claim for my disposal and A&M Plumbing came out. Their tech was the one that told me I could have a second opinion. I called AHS back and they said it had to be within seven days and I was past that. I had A&M Plumbing fix it and it was a lot of money out of my pocket.

Over time, American Home Shield has really gotten a whole lot more expensive than it used to be. But makes good sense because eventually stuff breaks and you got to get it replaced. Then, if you try to book your claim online, it throws your appointment way out. But if you call, it can get scheduled more quickly but it’s very hard to understand the people.
Also, some contractors, though, are better than others. I had a claim for the fridge and it was a fantastic experience. The contractor came within the hour. They ordered the part and installed it four days later. It was a rapid turnaround. But my dishwasher claim was a horrible experience. It was six weeks from start to finish. When the contractor had the part, they came out and couldn't get the dishwasher pulled out. They told me that because they couldn't do it, they couldn't fix it.

I had an issue with the compressor of the AC. I did a claim online and it only took a few minutes to do. Then I had to call AHS but it wasn't too long either. The response time from Doctor Cool was pretty quick. They were very friendly. They were very kind to even tell me what was really going on and what they did up there to kind of have an idea of what the process or the problem was. I got my issue resolved. The tech even told me about the fact that the AC unit was a little bit older. It might be in my ideal situation to either upgrade or just keep an eye on it. He told me that there might be a future problem, but it's something that's simple that I could do. So he was looking out for me. I really appreciated the little extra tip.

American Home Shield has been very effective at getting contractors out and getting things done. My air conditioning unit froze over, thawed out and then spilled over. The timeframe was very good and the contractor was very effective. They came out the next day after AHS called, and they realized it wasn't a plumbing issue. So, they referred my claim to the air conditioning people who came out the following day, which helped us immensely.
Usually one thing leads to another. If there's a plumbing issue or an air conditioning unit upstairs then it leaks through the ceiling and causes drywall problems. We spend $300 today getting the drywall repaired and AHS doesn't cover the drywall section. It would have been nice had the drywall been covered too but we understand that’s not part of our coverage.

My recent claim with ACT Appliance was wonderful. That was very fast. I had done something to my filter when I changed it, and it wasn't working. My son-in-law came over and he said he thought the thing that resets the new filter wasn't working. So, I had to call American Home Shield. The tech came out and worked with it for a while. He was a very nice gentleman. I had a new filter, and he said, “Let me try that.” He put the new filter and it worked beautifully. They took the money on my Venmo. It’s very easy to pay.

I requested two services and those are very minimal. It took the contractor less than five minutes to fix the job. But overall, the call response was awesome. I was impressed. One problem was with the dishwasher. It was something that was stuck in it. So, the tech just cleared it out and helped us understand how to clear it in the future. In that way, it helped to understand a bit of dynamics of how to take care of the things ourselves rather than inviting every time a new repairman.
I'm planning to continue American Home Shield for the near future. It's more of a peace of mind that if anything breaks without my understanding, then I don't need to scramble and find the labor in this market. I can rather rely on one central agency that can take care of my home-related repairs. And even if it cost a bit extra, not a problem. I'm more of a person which prefers convenience over cost.

A tech came out for our claim and was supposed to have been with appliances. I paid $100 when American Home Shield sent someone out. It turned out the issue was not my washing machine so a plumber was sent out. The plumber came out unequipped and he ran something down the drain trying to unstop it. But it wasn't the right one. He was gonna have to send another plumber back, which never showed up. He was supposed to have replaced the garbage disposal. He said it was filled up with something. That was on a Friday. On Monday, I called and nobody showed up. I was very displeased with them. I couldn’t even wash my clothes until they resolved my problem.
I called American Home Shield and were trying to say on Chapter C or E, about a guy they’re talking about that had to get on the roof and it wasn’t included in the plan.

But I called for a repair of my air conditioner and the repair people go, “Well, no, it still blows. And we're not responsible for efficiency.” It was 86 degrees inside my house in the summertime and I asked American Home Shield, “Do you want me to die or what?” It's not an efficiency issue but fact that it's not cooling. Plus, it's not like they replace the entire air conditioner. It's only $1500 and they didn't pay that out like they said they would.

I was very hesitant to sign up for American Home Shield because I thought everything is so old and they are not gonna cover things or it's going to be prorated. But that wasn't the case. When my furnace went out within a few months of getting the insurance protection, I sent in a claim. Everything went just as they said it would. They sent out a person that could deal with the problem and did an assessment. He said the furnace had to be replaced as it could not be repaired. American Home Shield paid 60% of the cost. I knew that there was a cap, so that didn't bother me. My payment is $53 a month and the cost of this furnace was at least $3,500 that they paid for. I had my furnace replaced and there was no problem.

There is one contractor with AHS "AT Appliances" whom I review in yelp by providing the pictures and facts. My 7 years old front loading Samsung washer started shaking because its Spider and Drum (made of iron) broke in 2019. They said I damaged it by overloading and AHS denied my claim. After struggling with AHS, they offered me the another contractor with second opinion. He opened the washer and shown me stating that the spider is damaged because of corrosion, normal wear and tear resulting in normal rusting and weakening of the attachment. The washer part (Spider and Drum) which got corroded and broke due to aging over the use of the last 7 years. This can be used for the review. This was absolutely not a case of overloading like AT Appliance and AHS authorization officer accused me of.
I would request to please make sure that AHS must not influence or motivate such vendors to submit false diagnosis just to reject the valid claim in order to save money from valid repairs. This was the very first impression from many customers in reviews for AHS, my real estate agents and me (after this experience). I hope that such cases would be used as a learning to avoid similar stress to customers in the future. I requested AHS to blacklist this vendor but guess what AHS is still working with them.
My another repair on the same washer to replace door's rubber gasket performed in Nov 2021 did not last even 4 months. When I complained AHS, they sent me again AT appliances. Their tech visited my house, promised me to get it replaced in one week but today I heard from AHS that they submitted the report stating that this failure is the result of my misuse. The door of washer was being closed very hard after replacing this gasket in Nov 2021 whereas the door closing was very smooth and light with original gasket that lasted almost 7 years.
Therefore, the real reason of gasket tearing was that either gasket was not installed properly in Nov 2019 or was a very poor quality, incompatible, aftermarket part that got worn out and torn in as little as 4 months with door opening/closing activity. They submitted the report to AHS that I misused the machine to tear off the gasket. My question to them is why my original gasket lasted for more than 7 years if I am a misuser. I am an adult having no kids at home who can cause such damage. This is the second time AT Appliances tried to oblige AHS either under pressure from their management or just by themselves offering the favor.
We do appreciate your feedback and apologize that this issue has caused you to cancel your warranty. It is not our intent to cause a difficult experience, and hopes that you would consider joining the AHS team in the near future. Have a great day!

When my husband was in the garage, he noticed the water was coming down through the board and everything from the top of the garage. Then we went to the kitchen and we opened the bottom of the kitchen cabinet and saw water leaking. So I called American Home Shield and talked to a young lady named Sophie. She did the claim and gave me the claim number. Then she told me the company would be Draingo. So I waited until later that evening because I thought somebody was gonna call me to come out. But no one came. I called Draingo and got their voicemail that their office was closed. It was a Saturday evening and they had closed at 2:00.
I called American Home Shield back and told the rep, “Oh, ma’am, this water can’t wait till Monday. This leak can’t wait till Monday. And somebody needs to do something.” So she switched out from Draingo to K & S Plumbing. Then they said they would come Sunday morning. So on Sunday, the guy came and he looked under the kitchen cabinet, and he turned off the faucet. He didn't go over in the basement. My husband turned the water off but water was still coming some, but it had kinda slowed down a little bit. So the tech said the issue was the faucet. He said he was gonna put in a report to get that ordered. He turned the water back on and after he left that Sunday afternoon, water started coming down. My husband said that we had to turn the main water off to the house. So we had no water Sunday night.
My husband stayed up all night Sunday dumping water. I dumped water up until 12:30 a.m. Monday morning, and then I called the water company. I told them, “Y’all, we need to do something. What they say, the faucet is the cause of it, so there's just leaking water.” The young lady told my husband to turn it off at their main line. It just so happened a meter reader gentleman was in the neighborhood down the street. He came and turned it off. So the water was shut off on Monday.
I talked to K & S and told them, “Hey, y'all, we don't have water. Can we get a pipe fixed? Can I go buy one?” But they had to order it. It was supposed to come in the following Saturday. The faucet came in that Wednesday and they came out that Thursday and put it in. But it was in a different color. My sink is stainless steel. But it's not leaking anymore and the water is turned back on. But it's all this damage that has happened and it could have been worse. I'm glad we were home because it could have been all over the house.

I can reach out to American Home Shield at any time. But the folks I get on the phone are not always the most knowledgeable. The last claim I submitted I did online. Usually, I get a response back within 24 hours if I call and the lines busy, or I ask them to put me in a queue. But lately, I've been doing online.
The AC unit worked fine, then it shut down. It would try to start up again, shut down, and try to start up again. It would do that five times before it shut down completely. The contractor came out and cleaned the part. It ran for three days. And it started all over again. So, AHS sent a different tech out. He cleaned that same part again. It ran for another 24 hours and shut down again. So, I did a third callback. The second guy that came took an image of the serial number and said if it happens again, he would just order a new part. Which I just got a call back today that the part is in, and they will install it on Thursday. But it has been annoying. The techs have been very polite and professional. So hopefully, when they replaced this part, it will be fixed.
For the most part, I don't have too much issues with the majority of the technicians. There's always one tech here or there who doesn't listen, and I reported the problem. I'm probably more knowledgeable than a lot of customers because I work in the industry. But I don't argue with them. If they say this is it, and I try to suggest to them what I think it is and they don't want to hear it, I end up getting a call back.
I had no intention of renewing my contract. But for some reason, this time it renewed automatically, and AHS has not done that. Because last year, my AC went out and they did not repair it. It's a 25-year-old AC system. Of course, they found a reason for not repairing. It's 25 years old and beyond its life expectancy already. This is not 1950 where stuff lasted 50 years. To think that a component in the home would last 25 years and beyond in today's world is unrealistic. They did not provide any assistance with that, not even a payout to replace it myself. In most instances, I got what I needed repaired even with a callback or two. That time, I did not and I was very dissatisfied. The expectations were unreasonable. But for $200 a year, American Home Shield gives me a peace of mind knowing that under most circumstances, calling in a tech to fix something would not cost me $1,000 or more for just one incident.

The town we live in is pretty small, so sometimes American Home Shield has to have somebody come in from the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. So, it's a little bit harder scheduling them. But other than that, they usually get somebody ina nd for the most part, it's been a good result. We have had a few times where the person comes out and doesn't fix the problem, and they have to send somebody else. But for the most part, we've been pleased with their service.

I appreciated that American Home Shield’s policy stated how easy it was to put a service request, how quickly the policy kicked in and the coverage that would be had under the policy itself. The service is going great. We did a request and it was timely, and they fixed the problem. So, I’m very pleased with it. There was a little bit of a clog in our pipe itself, which turned out to be a little bit of grease that was in the pipe. The contractor called with updates and they put me at the top of their list of their next available appointment. It was great.

We do the claims online and it doesn't work. Though this last claim, it worked only because of Sears. That claim wasn't bad and now that I know that Sears had the appliance serviced, I might just go to Sears directly and bypass my warranty. Then eventually, I'll get rid of it. My experience with the plumber was not good. He cancelled the service but he never let me know he cancelled. So I haven't had the issue serviced since August.

My experience has been pretty good. Most of the contractors and vendors that have come out have been great. We haven't really had any problems with American Home Shield itself so we've used them for two houses now. For this house, we used the home warranty mostly for small things. But at our last house, we got half of our air conditioning system replaced and I ended up saving $900.
We've had a few plumbing issues in this place. one was for some clogged faucet. It was in the sediment trap. There was one tiny thing when we requested the plumber. It told us the status updated and directed us to contact Ferguson and Sons, the contractor. But we received no notification that that was the course of action they needed to be taken. That aside, the technicians were great. They even took a look at a couple of other things to give estimates that we had questions about. They were really personable and they knew their stuff. This home warranty is for peace of mind. We just bought a house and most things are covered. But there are some things that we feel should have been covered.

It was multiple problems that the tech was good enough to figure out. I had a washing machine that was leaking water onto the floor. So I thought, I had a repair done just a month before, and they came out and put in a new rubber seal. And it looked like it took care of it. A month later, I did some laundry loads and I had a problem. But while he was there saying, "Well, yeah, dirt gets in that seal and they can cause a leak" and he was going through the motions with the washing machine and it overflowed from the discharge tube. So, I had a plumbing issue. We discovered once it slow to respond to when it was pumping out the water, and it would spill on the floor, and it showed up in the front of my door, streaking it to the washing machine. But he was good about talking about what happened.
We had to get another service call. I did not use them for that because this has been the third call for something I thought was a washing mistake. And it got all handled nicely. But if it wasn't for his eyes seeing the backup from the discharge pipe, we wouldn't have discovered it. I'll call again. American Home Shield has been very good and prompt.

Customer support responds accordingly. When I submit a ticket, a technician is usually out within 48 hours. My garage door wasn't responding to the remote. The techs were okay and they did a bit of troubleshooting to see what was going on. Eventually, they realized it was a frequency issue and they would have to replace the entire garage door opener system.
But American Home Shield pissed me off. I went through a process with them today, because my upstairs AC unit went out. They said they are gonna pay for the equipment, but they were not gonna pay for the installation. I would have to pay $2,100 for that. That doesn't make any sense to me because I pay them $80 a month in premiums plus I pay the $80 deductible. The other side of that is American Home Shield won't tell me how much they're actually paying to get the unit. So, they're probably trying to save themselves of the installation cost.
They're trying to say that's because there's a provision in the contract that states that if there are any upgrades required due to new equipment being installed, then the contract owner has to eat that cost. That doesn't make sense because if you're getting something new, then you're gonna have to have new hookups for it. They consider that an upgrade because it's getting new hookups. And it has to be within code. Well, if you're hooking something up, of course, it's gonna have to be within code. You're hiring a licensed and bonded agent. AHS is trying to get over on me and this is a bait and switch sort of contractual loophole that they use to say, "We don't pay for installation, but we pay for equipment."
Also, for a company called American Home Shield, I know I was not speaking with an American. I knew I was speaking to somebody who did not understand what my issue was and could not explain it to me because English was not their first language. They were reading a script and never talked to anybody who could actually help me with my problem. AHS is not providing value.

I have an ongoing problem with the toilets in my house. The same problem keeps happening after a few months. They're not older toilets and just expensive ones. This is the third time a plumber has come out from American Home Shield to try to fix the problem. Plumbing Works has come out a couple of times and one of them said, "These are very expensive toilets but they really don't work very long. You're better off, seriously, in the future, buying a less expensive toilet.” These were here when I bought the house and they were only a couple of years old. The plumbers were out last week and they were super nice people. They fixed the problem and they had the supplies on hand. They didn't have to come back.
I've been recommending American Home Shield for over 20 years. However, I will no longer be doing that. The reason for that is I made a claim several weeks ago on a garage door that wouldn't open. My car was stuck in my garage for 12 days. I read the fine print and if American Home Shield cannot find a service person, they're supposed to allow me to get my own garage door opener person, which they did a year ago. But something happened. I kept getting people in a different country and they wouldn't give me the approval to get my own person. There was no manager.
I spent two days tracking somebody down local that I could speak to in the state of Oregon from American Home Shield. I said, “Enough is enough. 24 hours. You either have somebody out here or I get to choose my own person.” I ended up getting approval. I just checked my email and I had to pay the $395 for the new garage door opener. American Home Shield had to talk with the contractor while he was here. They gave me a number. It was sometime last week that I got an email on Friday saying, “We've approved your reimbursement for 395. You'll receive a check in 21 days.”
In the end, I only had to pay the $100 service fee. But I still had no car and I had to get a rental car. It was a nightmare. I couldn't get anywhere with the service department. I just have to keep calling the one 800 line. I finally went in as a sales call and said, “Listen. You guys, don't send me to your service department again.” I'm shocked because I've used American Home Shield a lot. This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a warranty company. And I've used them all.
Also, I found out from a guy that American Home Shield sent out last year that he stopped working for them because he said they would not pay him in a timely manner. I had American Home Shield try to send me somebody from Portland and say it's going to take three weeks. I'm like, “No. There are people local. You either find local people or don't sell your warranties here.”

I almost canceled on American Home Shield back in October because it took so long to get our dryer fixed and our hot water heater replaced. It was frustrating because we had the parts and just because AHS was working with one installer, our dryer sat there and we had no dryer for two and a half weeks. The guy said it was easy and all he had to do was pop it in. If he had the piece, he could do it. So, I kept trying to call. I asked if could not go with someone else and get this done. And we weren't able to. So, I had to borrow other people's dryers. Neither of our things were totally dead yet so we were able to use our old. But with my stove, I had to do the legwork for them to get someone to install.
We had gotten a downdraft stove and the people who they had installing came in and said that they couldn’t install. They didn't do those any longer. So, I had to call American Home Shield back. They hooked me up with the same company three times. The lady said she told them and I said that I told them too. AHS then said that I could look for someone to install it and they would reimburse me. I didn't feel comfortable at first and told them that it was their job to get someone to install it for us. After it sat in our garage for almost four weeks, I said that I was gonna find someone else. I called around and found someone who would install it. AHS reimbursed me for getting it installed. I was babysitting for my granddaughter and I was trying to make calls when she took naps and all kinds of different things. But it all ended up working out okay in the end.
I'm glad I didn't cancel because I had my dishwasher die and AHS replaced my stove also. So, I'm happy with them right now just because they came through for those. But if you want something fast, you can't get it fast. It has to go through all the channels. At first, I was so angry because it took so long but they came through with this other thing. So, maybe it's worthwhile because it helped tremendously this last time we had to call someone.

AHS is very bad company, don't waste your money with them. They are cheating the customers along with their contractors by denying all the coverages. Don't go with them, instead save that money every month and use for any unexpected things comes up.

We called American Home Shield about ducting. We didn't know there was going to be a more major issue. We thought we had holes in the ducting and air was coming through cold. We wanted to have somebody check it out. American Home Shield scheduled a time to have somebody come out and put in something. Normally, smaller repairs are $100 and somebody shows up and fixes it. It takes you four weeks to get it done. In this case, American Home Shield was obligated to replace a heating unit and an air conditioner and they were timely in responding. They then referred to a section in the contract that said there are certain items that are not covered. Their process of doing so was alarming. We already knew what they were saying. We knew the contract and it's pretty spelled out.
We called the number that was provided and talked to a woman. She gave us a general spiel, “Sometimes they go between a couple of hundreds and maybe up to $350.” Based on contract law, she was not specific about what the costs would be. It's never gone over 350 was her final statement. On the contract law, you have to be very specific. At that point, we said to her we'd agree up to 350. They said permits and Freon were only covered up to a certain point and that you would pay the difference.
There was one other mentioned that was called a line set. These are the tubes that go from your air conditioner to the inside heating unit and they're made up to fit a certain length and distance. They're not something you usually want to be fabricating too much of. They're under pressure and they're important. You can't have a working unit without the line set. It's part of installing an AC and heating unit as well. In the contract, it spells out that American Home Shield does not cover those if it needs to be replaced.
What American Home Shield said was you should have no more than $350 to pay. When the installer came, he installed the entire thing, finished the job, and gave us a bill for $2,300. There was a bunch of other stuff that he wrote that day for an exact amount of $2,341. We contacted American Home Shield that day and the tech was sitting there, waiting, and pressuring us to sign this piece of paper he had just drawn out. I've known enough to know that I'm not going to sign something if I have a disagreement with it. I surely wasn't gonna agree to that all of a sudden price that he showed. In contract law, it’s very clear that you have to be informed then give consent. Normally, a blue ink signed signature is required. In this technological world, everybody's doing it on a phone call or an email.
Immediately after we did the phone call that was required, we asked American Home Shield for a breakdown and they never responded. We've done our diligence to get from this from them. There's a very poor protocol. Now what they're claiming is that from the day that we talked to the woman about these added costs, which she said $350 would be the max, they told me it was going to be $2,341. That was not possible because the bill was made that day by the tech. They have no other documents from Lam-Air that suggests anything else. Plus, they hired Lam-Air, not us, and are responsible. Now, they're trying to shift that responsibility onto us saying that we owe the company this amount though it was never disclosed.
In contract law, there's a pool of problems with them. We were trying to hope that maybe there was a mishap and they're gonna jump on and correct it. All I asked of them was to let me hear the audio of the phone call that was that day and you will hear what the woman said. That was the contract we were agreeing to. That's the only other piece of paper or document we've been given. We certainly didn't find anything and we made a verbal contract at best and only through a vague set of parameters, up to $350.
I was surprised at the protocol. We've never had to use American Home Shield before as something on a larger scale. We've only used them for the refrigerators and ovens. So far, other than waiting a month or more, techs come out and they do repair them. We pay $100 sometimes to have them come out to do these things. It seemed worth it. But up until that install, that's when I saw why advocacy groups swarm. Because when a major appliance needs to be replaced, American Home Shield has this little bait-and-switch that goes on.
I've written letters to all the CEOs, which are very hard to find. One guy's name shows up as CEO on Wikipedia but there's no contact. You can't actually talk to these people. I've been in all their departments on the phone. We've done the least 10 or 11 phone calls now. We've been diligent to stay on top of it. American Home Shield keeps claiming they call us and miss us. They use the wrong phone numbers. They did that to us on the day of the installation as well. They called us the day before on the working number then they used an alternate claiming that they called us on an alternate number. That was when I began to get suspicious. I've seen these old tactics done and I'm familiar with sales as well. I'm a general contractor. American Hoem Shield hopes that I will be under pressure and pay the bill now and they get off with having to pay what it took to install.
I have no records to even see if the guy did what he said. I don't have anything right now that spells out what was to be done and for how much each thing was done. Because out of his own mouth, he said, “I didn't know your insurance. I would have shown this to you right away.” American Home Shield said they would send a guy to make the bid but I never got to see the bid. I asked for it but they didn't give it and they went forward. Now, they're claiming I'm responsible for this added stuff, which even with the line set that they claimed they replaced, was only fabricated. They cut off the ends and put them on. I could see the work done. You can see the old line set versus the new pieces added. There's already a discrepancy there and the guy didn't actually do what he said.
There is a lot of shady stuff going on. You look at Lam-Air’s background and you realize they got a whole list of people that are pissed at them. You then start to put it together. To me, they're working together. Dispatch was talking to Lam-Air going, “You better make them sign that piece of paper.” The guy said, “I gotta go to a doctor's appointment, you need to sign this.” I told him, “I'm on the phone with American Home Shield trying to go through the multiple steps I have to do just to get to somebody.”
When I finally do, the runaround they're giving me is they're claiming, “No, we sent you a notification that it was going to be $2,341,” which is not true. The tech made that number up that day and it was a very specific number - $2,341.75. There was no paperwork that suggested it either. We get stuck with this surprise. Now, they're handling it where they're saying, “Our hands are washed, you deal with Lam-Air.” Lam-Air then comes after us with a claim that if you don't pay this, you're going to end up with a third-party collector.
You don't get this insurance because you expect, occasionally, to have a refrigerator repaired. You get it because you know appliances are expensive and you know that household items can be a big hit to you if they fail. You believe you got a net there then you watch how they get the money out of you. This is one of the ways. American Home Shield made us pay for a portion that they're supposed to cover. There's an argument to be made under law that they should actually cover the line set too because you can't have an operating unit. That's their job is to provide the operating unit. Is not just to provide me the pieces and say they can't supply a part. The way they wrote their contract is very vague as well. Now that I know more about American Home Shield, I could not recommend them to somebody else.
I certainly hate to hear that you have received less than satisfactory service & I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Have a great week.
