I had a good experience. The vendor came in a timely manner. When the air didn't feel like it was getting cold, the next day the guy came back and made sure it was working well before he left. I recommend American Home Shield to my friends that have houses. Because, in the long run, it's worth it in case something breaks down that they don't have to pay all those out-of-pocket costs. This is a great way to get things fixed without being broke. When we didn't have American Home Shield a few years back, we ended up putting a lot of out-of-pocket costs.
Thanks for reaching out to provide that feedback. I am glad the contractors followed through with the appointment that was set but happier for you that your issue has been resolved.
We are here for you if you need us in the future. Take Care.

Appliance Wizard showed up when they said they were going to show up, so that went well. The part that didn't go well was the gentleman didn't do any diagnostic work at all, said, "The compressor's bad. We're turning this back over to American Home Shield ‘cause they won't let me do compressor replacement. It has to go to GE."
AHS's system is not very clear on who does the scheduling after that point. But I got an email that said I need to contact my contractor and establish an appointment to have the refrigerator repaired. I did that. Then it turned out that that day wasn't gonna work, so I had to cancel the appointment. He ended up canceling everything, saying I was gonna buy a new refrigerator and that never was the case. I never could get through to GE. The AHS agent was very helpful. She was trying to schedule over and over again with GE to get the repair scheduled again. What ended up happening was Royal Appliance Repairs was assigned to come out again to look at the refrigerator one more time.
Then from there, it just went downhill, including the fact that I got double charged for two different diagnostic inspections on the same claim. When Royal Appliance Repairs came out, AHS charged me another $100. But, Royal did a great job. He got in there and took the refrigerator out, inspected everything. He found that the fan in the refrigerator was bad and said, "This is what you need to do to keep your refrigerator alive so the compressor doesn't fail," and was very helpful. Appliance Wizard was not.
I'm frustrated with this part of it because I don't really understand what happened and what went wrong. I'm out $200 on the claim and they still haven't repaired the refrigerator. Although having put the fan behind the refrigerator as Royal recommended, it is functioning properly. So, that freezer fan doesn’t need to be replaced. I just need to get it fixed. I'm satisfied but not happy ‘cause it's still not repaired and I haven't received any kind of updates from AHS as to when that's gonna happen. They're fairly quick to respond. But the follow-on process after the diagnosis, taking care of it, can be very confusing.

The contractor couldn't find anything for my recent claim but they got in there and got at it. I have a son-in-law that is over the city sewer. He cleaned out from my house down to the corner but I had already called American Home Shield because it was still backing up. What probably happened was it took a few days for whatever was blocking it to fall out of the pipe from our house to the main line. It hasn't done it anymore.

My garbage disposal had started leaking through the motor. I filed the claim to American Home Shield. The techs came about two days later, had me fixed up in like 20 minutes, and they were gone. Everything has been working fine. I just filed another claim on my air conditioner that is not working. All of the service technicians are so booked up, and it's taking them two weeks to get a service technician to it. But they're finally supposed to come next Monday to work on it.

Two weeks ago, I had a water spill that I wanted to make sure that wasn't a plumbing issue. In trying to describe the problem, we had a hard time trying to figure out what the proper technician would be. When I was first working with the technician to try to find someone, I had a hard time determining whether it was a plumbing issue, or a ductwork, HVAC issue or if it was some other one. And every contractor we talked to, we got the run around. They were like, "No. You need to talk to a plumber." But then we talked to a plumber and they said, "No. That's not what we do." That part was frustrating. I ended up settling on a plumber, just because water was involved. But he said he would talk back to the company to see if they could find the right type of contractor to help me figure out the source of the problem.
When the tech came out, he confirmed that it was no plumbing issue. I figured it wasn't, but I wanted that peace of mind, just to have a plumber come out and take a look to make sure. He said he would talk to someone at American Home Shield to see whether the service fee would even be added because it wasn't anything for him to do while he was there. Try to get the most comprehensive package that you can because there may be some problems that arise that may not fall into a clearly defined category. So the more protection that you have, the better, so that you don't get caught up in any sort of dilemmas about whether something is covered.

I’m disappointed. The dryer was not working on the washer and the repair people came, but they said they couldn't fix the washer. A new dryer came, and American Home Shield sent a check in my name but they spelled it Shanne instead of Shain. I already paid the first payment already. I told AHS that it's going on two months and they said they are still processing the check, but I haven't received anything as of yet. It’s ridiculous. I also never read the fact that every time I call for service, I got to pay 100 and something dollars. I never knew that. Other than that, I've had American Home Shield four years now and everything is good.

We had a tech from J Tech Mechanical for the AC and he was really good. The condenser line was backed up and we had some flooding coming out of the air conditioning unit in the attic. He blew the condensation line and he said that we should send a plumber out. He changed the work order to a plumbing work order. The plumber came out the next couple of days and cleared out that line. I haven't seen an issue since.
AHS is very nice and very responsive. But the call centers and the process I've been put through to try to get my plumbing issues sorted from the beginning were painful. I had to sit through 10 minutes of automation before I would get to a representative and then I was passed around to various people. People were saying they couldn't escalate to a manager. They were just reading off of a script and weren't very respectful about the issue at hand. I lost my temper at times. The process was just so frustrating. I tried escalating through an email to whoever they said the shift manager was or the person managing that day and I never got a response. I called back every day for about three weeks to try to get to somebody to resolve my first plumbing issue.
Then, one time, a handle for the valve to turn on the shower snapped off and it looks like the previous owner had snapped it off beforehand and glued it back on. It was a claim that was rejected. A second opinion came back out and they said the same thing. I thought it was something kind of silly to reject on a policy that should be covering something like that. But the contractor who came out was very professional. He was the same contractor that came out for a separate issue and handled it really well.

The number three button on the microwave oven wouldn’t work. If you pushed the exhaust fan, it turned the machine on instead of the exhaust. A person come out and he evaluated it. He said that it would cost more to try to fix the panel than to get another microwave. So Home Shield replaced it. Everything was good. If I had anything to complain about, it's the process that you go through to contact Home Shield. They send you a number for the person to come out and do the job. On the first week, a man came out to evaluate and then he called Home Shield. He recommended that it be replaced. So I thought he was the one that was going to get the microwave and come back and install it. But he wasn't.
After I decided on which microwave was similar to the one that we had, Home Shield sent out another company. All the tech did was bring the microwave, put it in my kitchen and set it on the floor. Then a third guy came out about a week later to install it. So to me, it wasn't very efficient. I don't know why in the world they’d have one person to evaluate, one to bring it out, and another one to install it. That was kind of silly. But the people at Home Shield were very concerned to make sure that everything was right. It was a good experience.

When a guy from Air Squad came out the first time, he was going to replace just the fan. But when he got a closer look, he saw that there was a bracket that was damaged beyond repair. That had to be replaced. He also confirmed that the motor was gone so that had to be replaced too. He explained all that to me pretty clearly. He had to order the parts and I only had to wait three additional days for that. Throughout the whole process, he did a very nice job. He worked very efficiently and got everything taken care of. My AC is working very nicely now.
Another Air Squad technician came out before too and he either had to relight the pilot light, replace a piece that was part of the pilot light, or keep the pilot light lit. He did a very nice job. It was probably four or five years when I had Air Squad come back out and do something. It was for the heater which was in the same HVAC system.
Each time a contractor with Ameican Home Shield comes out, they don't try what some of the other warranty companies do by saying the problem was because of lack of maintenance. The contractor takes care of things. It makes me feel really confident and happy to make the monthly payment for the policy because I know that they won't try to weasel their way out of something. I've had contractors come out several more times to light the pilot light. They didn't ask any questions about anything. That's the strong point of American Home Shield.
I read online that other people are critical of other home warranty companies because they try to ask 20 questions then try to figure out a way to weasel out of taking care of the problem. With American Home Shield, I dealt with three or four claims over the years and they always took care of them and no questions asked. People are confident that they can get a policy from American Home Shield and know that things will be taken care of.

A sewage pipe got busted. It was on the outside of the house, but it was still on property line. The yard was flooded. When I spoke to the person with American Home Shield, I asked for it to be expedited and so he did that. But then All Hours Emergency Plumber called and said that it was gonna have to be the next day so my husband fixed it himself. The guy that came didn't have to do any work besides connecting something that my husband couldn't get connected. He said that he wouldn't charge. But I could still see that I got the $150 charge. I just assumed that it was something that AHS had to charge anyways. I haven't contacted them about it. Still, I would recommend them.

Things are going horrible with American Home Shield. The parts for my dryer are no longer available. They telephoned me, had a plethora of questions about this gas dryer, and I answered them all. I even followed up with the people from Central Appliance to try to get some more information because American Home Shield said I didn't provide them enough to get the dryer ordered. Central Parts helped and gave me additional information. I gave it to American Home Shield again and I never knew if they would be getting me a replacement or not, but I've been without a dryer for two months. I need a new one. I have spoken, and so has my assistant, with American Home Shield at least three times, and they're not getting to the bottom of it.
Are you still in need of assistance?

I had someone to come out and fix my sink. I needed them to service my whole sink and they unclogged it but didn't repair the handle. My daughter was there and she said that the guy wasn't really friendly. He just went in there, did whatever he did and left. But my handle still comes off and the hose is loose. So, I wasn’t too satisfied with that. AHS should speak to whoever does their plumbing services. Other than that, I had a refrigerator replacement and I was very satisfied with that. Submitting claims with AHS was also very simple and the person that I talked to was polite. When I contacted them, they responded on the same day and I got a very quick response. I was also satisfied with the very fast service. They sent someone out on the same day for my sink.

It's a little difficult to submit a claim. American Home Shield lied too. When I first got them, they told me that there'd be a service charge of $100, but they didn't tell me about the taxes added onto that. The fee was $109. I was upset about that. That's all I'll complain about though. I recently had a claim and the contractor did an excellent job.

I would never recommend American Home Shield to anyone. The service is horrible. The government needs to get involved. Their call center is from overseas and all they do is lie to you. The people we had, because they're overseas and are not properly trained, they'll just read off through a card. You can call the very next day or the very next minute and get someone else. But it's like talking to a robot because everyone is saying everything exactly the same. They say they'll call you back but no one ever does. I've wasted so much money with them. We had them on our other house too but we didn't renew it after the first year. They suck.
The first time that we did American Home Shield, within about six months, our AC was acting up. We called them and that was when we found out in their fine print that they don't cover the freon that goes in it. That can be very expensive. You can spend over 1,000. But you got to go into this 300-page contract and it's under paragraph, E, sub G dot I. You really got to bury in it and be almost like an attorney to figure it out. American Home Shield did a really good job of hiding it from people.
The company that came out went ahead and inspected both ACs. They replaced a $200, $300 part. They did all the freon, one needed five pounds and the other needed three. That first experience was so great. But six months down the road, we had a garage door that didn't work. We paid a $100 service call. The guy came out and said it was the motherboard. He drained out the motherboard then changed it out but none of the remotes would work. He said they don't cover remotes. I told him it had got to be reprogrammed but he wouldn't do it. I called him and filed a complaint against American Home Shield.
After several weeks, I finally got someone to call me back. They told me it had been more than 30 days and once it's more than 30 days, I got to repay another service call. I told them it was documented and I kept calling them. It got to a supervisor finally that spoke English. They saw where everything was documented and told me they'd refund my $100 service call. By that time, a couple of months had passed and I had already paid someone else out of my own pocket to come out there. All it was was they just had to reset the stuff.
When we bought this house, the first service call we used was a door lock change. The guy called, set up the appointment but never showed up. He called me two hours later, said he got stuck and that he'd be here after 9:00. I told him we got kids and he was not coming here after 9:00. We rescheduled the following week but it was the same thing. He got stuck in traffic, had other calls, and it was going to be later. Finally, I took a day off and we scheduled it. He had a child who got sick which I understand. In the end, they never did it. I called American Home Shield to get my money back and they told me the company said they completed the work. I called the company and the guy told me, "You mean he hasn't come out there?" I said, "No, he never came out there." He said he'd call me back but I never heard from him. Every time I called, I got a voicemail.
The claim for the pool was fantastic. The contractor was incredible by far. We took the gentleman out to the backyard and he had to look at the pump and study it because when they install pumps, everyone does the plumbing differently. Almost immediately, he got it figured out. He started telling me about everything. I made a comment to him that I kept trying to resolve it on YouTube by watching videos and doing research on my own because I didn't want to call American Home Shield as I just had a horrible experience with them the month prior with my plumbing. I didn't want to throw away $75 if I can figure it out.
I had to ask him, "Do you mind if you label everything?" I went and got him a Sharpie and he identified every single valve. It was making funny noises so we thought the pump was going out and that's covered under the warranty. But what it was is we have a custom grande dive pool, and every once, we get these little rock stones that will get in there. When they start hitting into the fan, the fan will break them up. It's not harmful to your pump but it makes a loud racket that's irritating. When you go turn off the pump, that stuff will settle. You turn it back on and it's quiet. But it could be anywhere from a minute, few minutes to a few hours after and it would start doing it again.
He asked if we had any more questions. I told him the waterslide is not working. He looked at it and and said, "This valve shouldn't be shut off." He fixed that. Apparently, the last company that cleaned our pool had shut a valve off and they weren't supposed to. Also, on the top of the sand filter, there was a gauge that wasn't working properly. He said, "I think I got one out in my truck that's brand-new." I asked, "How much do I owe for?" He said not to worry about it and put that on there.
The most recent claim before the pool was our sump pump. We have a sump pump in the basement connected to the kitchen sink. The previous owners had totally redid this three-storey home and the kitchen downstairs. They added the sink and hooked it to the sump pump so it would pump it upstairs. I called American Home Shield and told them that it wasn't working and it was flooding. All that is covered in the warranty. It clearly states it. They sent a plumber out and it was a gentleman who couldn't speak English. But the lady who was with him that was the translator was telling me there was a valve broken in there. It needed to be replaced and was not covered in the warranty because it's connected to a sink. I told her that was not what it says in the contract. I opened it up and had the thick manual in word-for-word.
They told me that my sump pump is not covered because it was damaged due to not normal wear and tear. When I finally got a supervisor, I asked how is it not normal wear and tear? There were no dents or breaks or anything. A valve had broken inside the sump pump but they're wanting to come out and claim that it's not under normal wear and tear because it's connected to a kitchen sink. That's still an open thing. I still haven't gotten reimbursed my $75 on that. Out of the six times in three years we've used American Home Shield, we've only had two successful ones. The other ones have been ripoffs. People were not knowledgeable and didn't know what they were doing.

Submitting the claim was a lot easier than I expected it to be. It was pretty easy. I went onto the website, logged in, and then set a request for repair. I paid the $100, and then I got a call a few days later. It did take a little bit longer than I would have liked, but then again, it was also a holiday weekend. The home warranty is kind of a safety net. The only thing I don't like about the whole experience is that I sometimes don't understand exactly what's covered and not covered. But I understand upgrade options, and that makes it easy to understand what's not covered. American Home Shield could also provide a magnet for the refrigerator. The last time I bought a house, I bought their service and I never used them once. I completely forgot about it. But if it's on my refrigerator, it's a simple reminder and it costs cheap too.

I had been hearing my air conditioner not sounding right. It was working really hard. American Home Shield had offered their $75 tune-up so I requested for service. A/C Pros came out and inspected.

American Home Shield sent a technician who said that all I needed was Freon and I paid 100 for the deductible. Then, I paid 156 for Freon and they said that the claim was closed. It didn’t work so American Home Shield sent a new technician out, who said the compressor was no good and that they could get one and have it in a few days. It has been a week and I called him and asked what was going on. He said that AHS said that they have to buy a part. So, I called AHS and they said that the person they sent out said that they have to modify the compressor so it has to be a special one. This is a normal AC unit for Oklahoma and it doesn't take a special compressor. To this day, I still don't have an AC. It still isn’t fixed and I’m still fighting with them.
AHS fixed the fridge and the dishwasher and there were no problems. I had a problem and AHS brought the technician in the suite to fix it. But I can’t get them to do anything on the air conditioning. I could buy the compressor and put it in myself. I'm already $600 into this compressor because they've charged me almost $400 for the modification that it didn't need. People should stay away from AHS. They'll fix anything but the air conditioning. In the deep south, when you're running 100 and something degrees every day, you can't play with air conditioning. Right now, I'm in Salt Lake City at my daughter's house because I can't handle the heat. It put me in the hospital three times. My wife's down there on her own.

I first had a problem with the toilet. There was water that was coming from underneath the floor and American Home Shield sent a plumber over to diagnose the it. The toilet had a crack at the bottom of it and that was where the water was stealing out of. We had a large toilet and the plumber just replaced it with a little miniature one. He said that was the only one that he could get. I'm a disabled vet, I have a prosthetic knee, and every time I sit on the toilet, my knee is hurting me. Since it’s so small, I have to squat down like I'm a little kid. When I called American Home Shield about it, they never had the plumber come by to replace that toilet back to the normal size it was supposed to be.
I also had a problem with the air condition system. I had to go through different companies and I kept complaining to American Home Shield because the companies didn't diagnose the problem well enough to solve the issue the first time. Then every time I did that, they charged me $75 every time I had to get a different air condition person that tried to diagnose the problem. In two years, it took five different air condition companies. The fifth one was the one that solved the problem. The same thing with the electrician. We had a company come out three times and they never resolved the problem. The electrician just came and walked in, looked at the electrical socket, and walked out.

I’ve had American Home Shield come three times over the past three years and I've had a positive experience every time. They were pretty good about getting somebody quickly. I called this time and they put the work order in. Then somehow, they inadvertently canceled the work order and nobody told me. I had to call a couple of times so I wasn't happy with that. I asked to speak with a supervisor and I never got one on the phone. But then the guy that came was very thorough and took the time to listen to all the problems. He was able to fix the microwave. He also problem-solved the dishwasher. He figured out that the rinse aid itself was too concentrated and by diluting it, it shouldn't leave bubbles in the bottom, which had been happening. Overall, I’m happy with the service. I'm not worried about my appliances breaking down and having a big expense related to that.

When we first moved in, we had different things that we had done. They were starting to give us some problems, and we needed a few service calls. We started back in 2007 so it has been almost 14 years that we've had American Home Shield. We've had electrical work, we've had a stovetop replaced, and we had a disposal. We're satisfied with the service and the contractors that have come out. Recently, we had clogged drains in the kitchen. It happened over the weekend, which is always awful. But I put in my service request on Sunday. And A & M contacted us first thing Monday. They came out, took care of the problem, and did a good job.
Over the years, we're satisfied, in general, with the service we've gotten. We did have a couple of complaints at different times, but we took those up with the company, and they were all resolved, at least where we all agreed that it was okay. Even that process was okay. The cost of the warranty contract itself has gone up a couple of times. But we realize that it still covers a lot of items in the house. Our house was built in the 60s. So, it does have different things that happen every so often, so we expect that. You can't anticipate anything that might go wrong. So, it's insurance. And we have insurance in different areas. Your home is such a big investment that anything you can do to help you to keep it up is the main thing. You want to keep it in good condition. It's good insurance.

We're getting air, but not cold air. I did this claim to American Home Shield last year. The contractor said it was a leak in the line, so they put a stop to the leak in it and put Freon in it. And it leaked out. They sent out someone a day before yesterday. My granddaughter was talking to them and getting things straightened out because I’m tired of them. My granddaughter also got tired of them messing with me. Last year, they put a new generator in, and I had to pay to have it hauled away. It was not my fault the generator went out. A year before, they did the same thing. They said it was a leak, so they put a stop leak and added Freon. I didn't run it much after they did that. But then the following year, it was the same thing.
I'm very dissatisfied. They're working on it now. My granddaughter has been calling them. She said, "And I will call you until you get it done. Or not, I'm calling Better Business Bureau on you and getting it straightened out." She told them to get it fixed and put me at the top of the list because it's been three years and it hasn't been fixed. They've been putting a Band-Aid on it. It's not the contractors, because they are doing what my warranty tells them to do.

I had to have some work on my toilet, and some electrical work. Also, some maintenance needed to be done to the cooler that I have. It was fast to talk to someone. However, I had to pay that out of my own pocket.

If you call American Home Shield, they will be responsive and get whatever vendor they've assigned to you to escalate the work order and show up faster. They may put you on hold for a while but they will get to somebody that you can't get to. However, the follow-up when something is wrong and getting something fixed is an act of God. My washing machine shreds all my clothes and it's been two and a half months. They ordered all the parts on March 25th and all but one part is in which is the plastic piece I could pop in and off myself. They won't do a partial repair on it so I'm not a happy camper about that. At what point will American Home Shield get me a new washing machine like they're supposed to? I have to hand wash everything except for my house right now.
I have two American Home Shield accounts, one for my house and one for my mother's house. On my mother's, there was a claim for a built-in microwave. My sister was there and they told my sister it couldn't be repaired and that they would replace it. I've been trying to get it replaced for a year and apparently, they went to Parts and Parts didn't think it was clear that it needed to be replaced or that the guy couldn't fix it. They never called me back and agreed to that. I've been calling them monthly for a year now. Now, they say it's too late for it. But it's like my washing machine. It's now going on three months and it's not fixed.
My mother's hot water heater blew. The guys that came out on the plumbing knew it needed another one and I've called American Home Shield twice. With the hot water heater, American Home Shield pays for the replacement but you always pay the upcharge for the plumbing and technician. I called American Home Shield yesterday and they didn't know what the quote was. They said AZ Plumbing was supposed to call me but no one's called me to give me a number or what I need to do. I called AZ Plumbing and asked. They said I had to pay the upcharge first which was $404.25. Once I paid it, they'd schedule it. I paid the money and scheduled it for Friday.
As long as you're a squeaky wheel with the contractors, then you can get service. I had the appointment scheduled for tomorrow for my AC unit between 12:00 and 4:00, and the guy called back and said, "I got you changed to 9:00 to 12:00." I said, "I can't do 9:00 to 12:00. I told you that before because I have a doctor's appointment at 8:45. There's zero chance that I can do that morning slot." He said, "Then we can get you in two weeks." I said, "No, you can't. You can give me the original slot I told you before." We finally agreed that he'd do 10:30. Tomorrow, when he comes out to fix my air conditioner, maybe I'll get lucky and they'll be able to fix it there or maybe they'll order a part then I'll be without it for a couple of weeks.
The service on American Home Shield is good but it takes a long time to get things fixed especially this year. The first time, the AC unit was broken for three weeks before they could fix it and get parts in. Then last year, it was only broken for two days before they could fix it. But they always fix it and it always costs less than buying a new unit.
The contract is well worth it financially because American Home Shield does cover all the things that are going to go wrong. There is always a service charge so you don't want to call them for something minor because the service charge is material. But generally, it's a really good value for the service. The only big problem is nobody wants to replace anything even though that's usually the easiest and probably the least cost way. For my mom's house, things would break in the house and it would be 1,400 here and 1,300 there and 1,500 there. With the hot water heater, I knew there'd be an upcharge and the upcharge is $900 to bring it to a totally different code.
American Home Shield has been very helpful whenever I've called and tried to find where things are. When I call them, they're very patient and I go through every problem I have every time I call them which these days seems to be daily. They're polite and they tell me what to do. They will track down the vendors, find them and try to escalate. If you don't like a vendor you're working with, they will switch the vendor out for you. Without exception, they do everything possible on what they're doing.
But American Home Shield probably doesn't pay their contractors that much. Their contractors may not communicate as well as they should. Some are good but most of them, you get what you pay for and they've negotiated contracts that are a good price for them. That means that you need to sit on top of the contractor that American Home Shield selects and you have to plan that it's going to take longer than if you just called somebody and did it in cash. But the differential in cost, if you want to be able to plan something and budget, is well worth it. If you have an older property, you save three to four times what the all in amount that you pay to American Home Shield. For my mom's house, it went from costing me $3,000 to $6,000 a year to something that's $75 a month plus $100 a charge. That's a much more manageable thing. I would definitely recommend American Home Shield. I have friends that have some competing services and their issues are more than mine.

Every time the AC would turn on, the lights would flicker on and off briefly. So, I figured that there might be something wrong with the AC. I called an AC technician and when he came in, he took a look at it. He didn't take too long to look, but he was pretty thorough. He checked the capacitors and said they were all fine. Then he checked the power usage and he did the standard tune-up. He made sure that the main circuitry of the air conditioning was working just fine and he confirmed that. He suggested that maybe it's a problem with one wire touching another and I needed to bring in an electrician to look behind the circuit panels. So, he left and I filed a claim for an electrician.
He came by and looked at all the panels everywhere, then he said there were no wires touching the other. He was really friendly and answered all my questions. He called his manager so he could explain everything because I had a lot of questions. I was asking how did he know for sure that it wasn't a problem with the wires and he said that if it was I wouldn't be seeing the power flickering off just when the AC was turned on. Instead, when the AC would be turned on, the lights would be flickering nonstop throughout the entire house. He said the reason these things pop up from time to time is when you have new building material and the way that houses are built, the codes are constantly updated.
He suggested that I needed the installation of a hard start kit on the AC so when the central thing first starts up, the AC should only start on when it reaches a certain amperage. That's what the hard start kit is supposed to do and it's supposed to prevent the lights from flickering when it first turns on. When I asked him why didn't the AC guy didn't catch it the first time, he said that generally, the AC repair people are concerned with the function of the AC unit and they're not concerned with how the electricity's functioning throughout the house.

Over the years, AHS paid for a hot water tank and a garbage disposal, but nothing really big. I have an older home that was built in '59. The cast iron pipes are starting to deteriorate underneath the house and I was trying to see if they offered any type of service or claim on that. I paid the $75 to get the guy here discussing what the problem was because the people answering the phone didn't really know. You can't describe a problem like that over the phone. He said they would dig it up the floor, replace one section, and it's going to take more than one section.
I pay AHS $66.17 a month and right now, I haven't gotten a lot out of it for what I paid into it. In customer service, you can always get ahold of somebody and get a claim number. But they need to explain more detail, like what they're going to cover like on sewerage lines. It's very vague on how it's written. It's also very vague on what to do. Like when I had my hot watering tank replaced and I wanted to have my plumber do it because sometimes, they fix the cheapest way with the cheapest parts they can use. Like they take out a good garbage disposal and they're only gonna pay for X amount for the next one to go in, so you don't have the same quality of garbage disposal than what you took out because you're using a cheaper part.

He said, “You might want to go get some of those cheap peel and stick tiles to put under your sink.

My cousin and my Realtor told me to do a home warranty because that will be very helpful for me in case anything happens. You never know what's going to happen, and if everything's working fine, that's great. But if one thing goes bad, it could be thousands and thousands of dollars, and I might not have that right off the bat to do. I never even thought about it until my Realtor and my cousin said something. I'm glad they did and that I took their advice. I have an older house, so I'm also very glad I have American Home Shield, because I would have no idea how much the prices of new faucets are.

American Home Shield's website worked really well and I was impressed with how quickly I got a response that the claim had been assigned to someone. The tech came right within the time frame that I was told the very next day. The cartridge of the faucet was leaking and did a really good job with it. He replaced the cartridge. He wore his mask and was efficient. We really liked him.
We had American Home Shield before and I was very dissatisfied. They weren't very good about covering things and getting back. Their prices had gone up too. I went to First American and they were good at first. But we had some really bad experiences with non-licensed people that they sent out. We quit them and went back to American Home Shield. I talked to the lady and she said American Home Shield has made a lot of changes and is trying to do a lot better with service. I said, "Well I'd give it a try. It couldn't be worse than what I'd had before." So far, the experience with American Home Shield has been easy and efficient and I've been very pleased. They were a whole lot better than First American.

We've had American Home Shield for 20 years. I've had disagreements with them. But we've kept them for a long time so they must be as good as others. My recent claim was for an air conditioner that wasn't working. The only complaint I have about it is that it happened on Friday on a long weekend, and the contractor couldn't come and see it until Tuesday. But I understand that it was a three-day weekend. And when they came out, they fixed it very quickly and left, and it was fine.

The individual that came out did a really great job. It was quick and easy. AHS is pretty easy in terms of scheduling, but also to have that sort of peace of mind and to not worry about such big things. The service fee and the monthly payments are affordable because all of the benefits that come with it. If AHS has an app, it would be helpful to navigate. They should make them user-friendly. It will be very useful and attuned to the time.

The bearing went out in the washer and the techs came and checked it out. Then they had to wait for parts. A different guy came and said the problem was something else because the bearing didn't have any oil around it so he thought it was new. So, they ordered parts again. The last tech changed the little cup thing for the bleach and stuff for the laundry soap up at the top on the right side. He changed the bearing too because come to find out, it had to be packed with grease and it went out because the other guy that put the bearing in didn't pack it with that.

The good part about American Home Shield is it's easy to use and you only have the same service fee. Recently, we got a new washer and dryer and the washer wasn't filling or draining. American Home Shield referred it to a plumber who came in and cut a hole in our wall, which is still there. He said he was going to submit something to American Home Shield but I never heard anything from them. Also, I would appreciate them letting me know, by calling me, that our payment is going up versus sending me mail that I might be getting or not.

First, I had my dryer worked on and not a week later, my washer. It was great. It was immediately assigned to a service provider, and they were super prompt. Both times with the very next day, they showed up and addressed the issue. The first time, it was a 15-minute fix. The second time, it was going to be a rebuild, but they are super forthcoming with information, and I have a date on when that'll be completed. I'm very happy with the service.
It's great peace of mind to know that when the inevitable happens (that is one of your appliances breaks down, your HVAC breaks down, or whatever it is), there's a finite number of dollars I know I'm spending on that. I would rather spend even a couple dollars more just to have that flexibility, than have this volatile, random money spend. American Home Shield was a recommendation by a friend, but I also shopped around a little bit. It seemed like the best value for my money. It covered more than others and was more comprehensive and easier to work with, while the others seemed a little less so.

We're pleased with Grade A Plumbing's work. They were here at the time they said that they would be. The plumber was particular about being careful in my home. He took care of the problem efficiently and left. However, there is long wait sometimes to get through American Home Shield. I was on hold a very long time before an agent came on. Also, in the beginning, you had a choice of whether to pay the service fee then or after the service was rendered. Now, you have to pay it upfront. We had an incident where American Home Shield sent someone from another plumbing place. When he got here, he said they didn't do that and left. But he said, "Don't worry, you won't be charged. We'll let them know that it wasn't covered." He never did that and American Home Shield never gave us our money back. But in the three years, that's the only bad incident.

My system stopped working and the drain pipe was clogged. I called it in with AHS, but it wasn't explained to me that I may not get somebody on a weekend. I was told that the vendor that they use wasn't picking up the call. I asked the person if that was the only vendor in this area. She said no. I said that if they don't have time to call, to give me the numbers of the people. At least I can call to see if I can get service and refer the call back to them, so that they can approve it.” She said that she can't do that. My issue was they have to convey to me what the expectation is.
Because the first assignment with the vendor came about my air ducts. And the guy came out and told me they had to reconfigure them and tell me what was going on. That service request was taken care of. AHS assigned me to the same vendor. And I don't know if that’s protocol, or if that vendor can’t service. I said to cancel the ticket. Whenever I called in, I still haven't gotten a response. They didn't pick it up. They sent me a text. It said, “Saturday at 8:25 PM. A contractor has been assigned to your request.” It has a URL address to monitor it. But I haven't heard from anybody. I'm very dissatisfied.

Normal people that make a house put a hot water heater on a slanted platform. So, if it leaks and it has a slow one, it leaks into the garage. Ours did not. Ours went into the wall, into the spare bedroom, all over under the carpet, into the wall and into the laundry room. We did not know it because it was a very slow leak, until we walked in there and our feet were mushy. So, we had to call American Home Shield and they took care of everything. They had a hazmat unit out here to evaluate and dry up all the water. They drilled into the walls so, the walls had to be repaired. All the flooring had to be ripped out and the water heater had to be replaced. It was drastic.
This time, AHS has tried to send two different repair people numerous times for the refrigerator. One company came two times and then, another company came at least four times. They replaced parts, sealed things and did everything that they could do, but it's still having problems. So, were we getting it replaced. They asked how I wanted it and if I wanted it on an e-card. So, I said yes to the e-card. But this has been going on for a year. With COVID and everything, a lot of things got slid by and appointments got made and canceled. Still, AHS has been very responsive, both by email or by phone call. And the people that they choose to come out to repair are very courteous and prompt.
AHS is very good. They don't send a very unknown company. Me and my husband are both in our seventies and AHS is a security that we need to be in our own house. We just have to budget for it. We can afford the deductible and we can afford the payments every month but we couldn’t afford thousands of dollars to repair something right away.

The AC was coming on intermittently. I was not happy with the first electrician that came out because he spent a total of about five minutes in my house and that included him coming in, going upstairs, looking at three fans, going back downstairs to his car to get his phone and then take pictures. He did not try to diagnose anything. This first electrician was from Westside. Even after he came, I didn't get a call from him as far as what was the next step. So, I did call American Home Shield and they told me to call him. When I called him, he told me that AHS had authorized him to look at one fan. I asked what was the reason. He told me that I had to call AHS back again.
When I called AHS back, they told me that they didn't say that and that they didn't authorize him to just look at one. I said, “You know what, I don't want to deal with this guy.” So, then they sent me someone else. The first guy didn't have a ladder. The next guy who came, Bobby, was really good. He came in with a ladder in his hand and with his tools on his waist. I showed him where the equipment were, and he was up there looking at them, observing, trying to see what the issue was with the fan. The other guy did not even do that. The other guy came in and literally came downstairs and got his phone from his car.
Bobby was from Electrical Service Professionals. They were extremely great. Bobby walked me through everything, talked to me and said, “What's going on with this one? What's going on with that one?” He was informative and answered my questions. He told me that he didn't think that the warranty company would replace them, but what he could do is he could try to see what was going on. He actually fixed it. He just turned on the fan and it's better than it was before. He had one issue. In one of the rooms, he needed to go into the attic. It was around 4 o'clock, and it was very hot in the attic. He had taken down the fans and everything was on the floor. He said, “I can't go in the attic because it's really hot in there.” I understood that. I said, “No problem. Just leave everything.” He tidied up everything and made sure he covered all the electrical wires in case anyone went up there. That was thoughtful.
The fan was on the floor, and I called them and I said, “Is somebody gonna come out?” They said that they had accidentally closed out the ticket. I said, “Well, somebody needs to come and put the fan back up and do something in the attic. Do whatever they need to do in the attic and put the fan back up, because the fan is on the floor.” They told me to call AHS so they can open back the ticket, so that the contractor can have permission to send somebody back to finish the job.
When I called AHS, the lady was very helpful. She got on the phone, then she put me on hold, then she called them and left a message. The next morning, they called me back and said, “Hey, we’re going to send somebody out. What's a good time?” Then they sent another guy out here. He had his ladder and his tools. He went upstairs and he went into the attic and did what he needed to do. The fan was up and they came and fixed the fan. Everything was great. They answered all my questions. I've been pretty much pleased with AHS. Westside was the only one that I didn't feel so great about. So, AHS has been very good.

I was having a problem with my dishwasher. It wasn't starting and running through cycles. AHS sent somebody and I didn't like the guy from that first company. He just made up stories, so I didn't want to deal with him anymore. I will not allow that guy back in my house ever again. I don't trust him and I don't think they're a reputable company. I asked for a second opinion and they handled it professionally and very well. Their guy took a look at it and he obviously knew what the problem was because he said that he had seen it before. He then said he'd report it in. After that, American Home Shield came back and approved the dishwasher replacement, likely because they couldn't repair it, which was good.
Other than that, sometimes, the people on the phone at AHS are a little bit difficult to understand and sometimes they don't listen that much. But that's okay as long as they take my situation and deal with it. When something's broken, I need it fixed expeditiously usually. Having six people live in a house and not have the dishwasher for almost two months, from beginning to the end of the process, was a little difficult. I hate washing dishes and I hate waiting for things to be repaired. That's why I have American Home Shield and using them is pretty simple.

All he did was put two filters on the back of the washing machine and the hose. That cost me $75. I called American Home Shield and they couldn't take these two plumbers. Today, they're supposed to contact the plumber from American Home Shield but I have to file another report and pay another $75 to have them come out here and check that.
I've had American Home Shield over 25 years and I'd never had a problem with them. My daughter has them 35 years and she's so disgusted with them with what they did me on the freezer so she canceled. They keep you on the phone a long time before you ever get to tell them the problem. Also, it does not seem like they have qualified workers anymore. The people on my refrigerator were Sears men who are supposed to be some of the best. I can't believe that it took four and a half months. They kept ordering the wrong parts. Right now, I have two boxes with that just in it and nobody wants to pick it up.
They sent another Sears man out here and he knew what he was doing. He wasn't here ten minutes and found the problem. He said, "These gaskets will not fit this refrigerator. They're gonna have to get you a new refrigerator." American Home Shield did replace it but that is five months later. I lost all the food in my refrigerator and freezer twice and they don't reimburse you for that. The Sears policy are reimbursing people. American Home Shield doesn't.

Blue Collar wrote up a report that they wanted to replumb the whole house instead of just fixing my leak. They were turned down and the job went to somebody else. I like the other plumber really well, Carnaker. But AHS never got back to me telling me that they didn't approve the claim initially, their plumber did. Then, I ended up paying $1,200 out of my pocket and I'm 80 years old. They did all they could but it was very frustrating because I had no water for almost three weeks. Other than that, AHS has always done me fair and I've never had any problems until this time.

I called American Home Shield and it was my first experience with American Home Shield since signing up for that program. This was on a Thursday before Memorial Day. We were going out of town the Wednesday of last week, and I had an electrical problem with the wiring of the house. The air conditioner caused the electrical problem, so I was trying to find an electrical contractor to fix the electrical problems, so I could then get an AC person after. American Home Shield found a contractor, but the soonest appointment would have been Tuesday after Memorial Day. That meant we would have had to leave the house on Wednesday for going on vacation with two animals in the house, no air conditioning going and I wouldn't have time to fix the air conditioner.
I talked to the service rep at American Home Shield and said, "That time on Tuesday doesn't work. Can you escalate this and get someone out here either today, which was Thursday, or the next day, Friday?" The rep said, "No, I can't do that. We don't escalate air conditioning problems unless it's 104 degrees." They wouldn't do anything. I said, "Let me just talk to your supervisor." The rep said, "I'm the only one here and you can't talk to a supervisor."
I talked to the contractor, and they had said, "Push back, they can escalate it." So, I did and got to someone that was a supervisor, and he said, "The rules say I could do this. Now, I have to go find my guidelines." I said, "Let me talk to your supervisor." He said, "No, that's not possible." So, after 20 minutes of saying, "This is not acceptable," he said, "Let me see what I can do." He finally made some other calls and said, "I've checked with our contractors. We have four of them in Dallas, and none of them are available."
I said, "Thank you. That's what I was asking you to do." But they were trying to stay with one contractor. Finally, I got the electrical problems fixed outside of American Home Shield, and I contacted them, and they assigned me to Hall’s for the air conditioning. Hall’s did a great job. They were out there when they said they would be. I knew what the problem was. He identified it quickly and addressed it quickly and was gone. And that was great. The AC was fixed on Friday and everything went okay from there.

American Home Shield's process is straightforward. I usually get a response within 24 hours unless it's a weekend. I had the dishwasher and the stove break in the same month. The tech determined what the problem was and told me what he needed to do. In both cases, he had to order a part. He left and then called when he had the part ready to install.
With another company, I had a nightmare one August when one of our air conditioning units broke down. The techs sent by that company brought out a replacement but they didn't know how to do it properly. They left without closing the pipes properly and it all had to be completely replaced. It took three months to get that sorted out. We were not happy with their services. On the other hand, we've never had any problems with the contractors that AHS has given us.

When I call, American Home Shield gets somebody out there quick. It's great. However, it's been very hot and humid in Las Vegas, and we're still waiting on a part for our AC. The first time the repair guy came out was Memorial Day, and he said it was a leak, and then he put some Freon in it. It was $500 and during the day when he was there, it was cooling off. Later on that night though, it was getting warm in here then the unit started blowing out warm air. Something else must have went wrong, then. It was probably some other issue that he didn't notice at the time besides the leak.
We called and then another guy came out this past Saturday, and he said, "This other part, it would try to kick on but then it wouldn't. You can hear it humming and then it just would never kick on." He said that part needed to be replaced and he put in a work order to get it. The techs were both fine. They could only do what they think is wrong at the time, and then come to find out, it's something else. Now, we're just waiting to get the approval through American Home Shield so we can get the part. I'm hoping to get it soon 'cause this triple digit heat is not working.

When I placed the call, the representative had me set up with somebody that couldn’t come out for three or four days. I told them that wasn't acceptable. That was when they had Mr. Appliance come out. Mr. Appliance told me within a week, they should have the refrigerator put together for me. It was touch-and-go in the very beginning and they got it done. They were on time when they came out. They knew what they were doing and ordered the parts in a timely manner. They finagled things around where one part was in. They came and put the compressor in before they did the other part so I could get my refrigerator running. They worked very well.
Every time I would call, American Home Shield would say they had to cancel my appointment or I cancelled my appointment but I didn't. I called them because I had gotten an email that they were sending somebody else out. They said I had cancelled the appointment. I told them we had everything squared away. Then they couldn’t give me a straight answer as to why Mr. Appliance cancelled. It was on a Friday that I called and said, “I need to speak to a supervisor because this needs to be dealt with.” The rep told me a supervisor would call me in about an hour and I still haven’t gotten that phone call. My daughter has American Home Shield and she was about ready to cancel. I told her there was a glitch but American Home Shield did follow through. They got things taken care of.

The air conditioner wouldn't hold Freon and it froze up. We called and whoever answered the phone took the information and initially assigned another organization to the claim, and that didn't turn out well. The company wasn't responsive. When I called, the owner was rude, started raising his voice and cussing at us, and talked about things like they don't have enough employees, they don't have enough time to come to service our system, and literally just hung up on my face. He called back saying he'd call me back, which still to this day, he never did.
I had to call American Home Shield again. They assigned another contractor, which was All Hours Mechanical, and they then came out and serviced the air conditioning system. Everything was above board from their end. The only issue we had was they were hammering some type of boards up in the attic, and there was some plaster that came loose from the ceiling that was below them. They are supposed to get back with us to rectify this situation.
People should be careful in the sense of making sure that everything that should be told as a consumer is divulged before any type of work order is put together. Right now, we have a particular issue with someone that we spoke with before the work took place, which he did not tell us everything that we needed to know on American Home Shield's side.

Alex from A & R was helpful and honest. He was great about it. He did more investigating and took pictures. He did a good job.
American Home Shield would charge me for the third motor that had to be put in because they weren't going to cover it. But I said, “That's not my fault. They put the wrong part in twice.” The first tech couldn't get the right model on there. So, Alex put in a universal unit because it's a Nordic unit. And he finally got the part right.

We usually have one or two claims a year. The biggest claim we had with American Home Shield was our air conditioning. Recently, the contractor came out lickety-split and took care of the problem. The guy was in and out of the house in less than an hour. We only had two problems with a couple of vendors American Home Shield sent out to the house. We took care of that problem and they will never be at our house again. AHS has always been helpful, took care of things and always made it right. I recommend buying a warranty and getting as much coverage as you can get because you will use it.

American Home Shield has done a lot better recently than they had in the past. They frequently change plumbers and electricians. They were great guys coming to my house but it's never the same person. Also, I couldn't get in touch with customer service - a bunch of jacklegs who didn't know what they were doing. They would charge me $75 for a service and if that contractor couldn't fix my issue and they have to refer it to somebody else, they still hit my debit account. It's too much of a hassle to call back and get that money back so I just rolled with it. I was thinking about canceling the warranty but they helped me in numerous ways. I've had them for 10 years and the stuff they have fixed has been out-of-pocket-wise okay.
I've had water heaters, disposals, and pipes replaced. I've had pool pumps replaced as well. It took me hell and high water to get my air conditioning fixed but they finally did that as they couldn't band-aid it anymore. Recently, my master bedroom sink would not drain. The plumber who came from Sovereign was one of the best plumbers I've ever met. I've been very pleased with AHS. A lot of my friends are in real estate and I tell them "Make customers buy your American Home Shield Warranty. I wouldn't buy a house without it.". Read the fine print though 'cause what you need has to be covered.

The AC wasn't cooling off at all. We walked outside and looked at the central air unit in the back. The tube that goes from the AC unit into the house was completely encased in ice. I called AHS and JP Plumbing & Heating came out. The tech said it was the motherboard and he replaced it. It worked for a couple of days but it's been getting warmer and warmer. Yesterday, it was just warm air. I went outside, walked around to the AC unit, and saw once again it is just encased in ice. There's still something wrong. I called back and hopefully, the tech is coming back. I haven't gotten a phone call yet.
It's very easy to call AHS's number, say what's going on, and have them respond. The only thing is they could give a little clarity on what's covered and what’s not. It's pretty broad statements on the paper that I got. For example, it says two central AC unit ductwork and I don't know what two means. I have one central AC unit. And I don't know what specifically is covered by replacement, repairs, what kind of repair. A little more information on what's covered would be helpful.

We ended up calling yesterday morning, and the repair guy asked us to text him our address, and he would get back to us. We haven’t heard from him yet and we don’t know how long it’s gonna take him to get back to us. We’ve been running through a heat wave here. We know that all the air conditioning people in the area are busy, but a year ago, we had the same problem with air conditioning as well.
We just cannot seem to get anyone out here. Primarily HVAC people. Almost everyone else (appliance people, plumbing people, or anyone else), we have no problem with. It seems to be everyone in HVAC. It’s our experience. Overall, we're very happy with American Home Shield, which is why we've been with them for so long. We're happy with the service we get.

When I filed the claim for a toilet repair, I got someone who could barely speak English. But once we got through the language barrier problem, it wasn't too bad.

If I didn't do that, nobody would have known. I had to call back and tell American Home Shield what was going on and they got another company. The fellow who came out was excellent. He replaced the guts in the toilet.
American Home Shield needs to get different operators that will speak English a little better. If you're going to offer a service like this, the reps need to be able to communicate effectively. I hate dealing with people that want your business, wanna do the service, but won't communicate with somebody that can speak English properly.

We have two AC units, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. When our upstairs was not cooling, AHS sent out Anthem Mechanical and the problem had something to do with the compressor. The tech diagnosed it and he had it up and running within 35 minutes. Everything was handled smoothly and I didn't even speak with anybody. I submitted the ticket online and AHS had somebody out here. But it's very difficult to submit claims with AHS. There's a language barrier with the representatives where I don't think they understand what I'm asking for and I have to repeat myself for two or three times.
One time, our pool pump was not filling completely, so we called the home warranty. They sent out their recommended pool service and they came out twice. A young kid originally said that everything was fine but you could see that my pump was shaking. I told him that something was wrong with the filter, so he replaced the lid, thinking that it might have been the lid. But it wasn't the lid. He said that with Hayward, these pumps don't fill up all the way, but I told him that they do. My pool guy has been servicing our pool for over 10 years and we've only been at this house for three years. You can tell that our filter was laboring.
Long story short, he said there was no issue that they could find on their side. He recommended that we have our lines, which are underground lines, blown because there may be a blockage. He said they don't do that, our home warranty was not going to cover it, and we'd have to hire another company. So, that was what we did and as soon as the other company came, he said that our lines weren't clogged because our filter was at zero. And he showed me we had three leaks on the outside, which would have been covered by the warranty. So I called the home warranty to see because this company that they sent out twice really didn't want to diagnose an issue, when this pool service company came and found three issues just staring at it right off the bat.
I tried to get my 140 reimbursed and they submitted a ticket to have it researched. I didn't hear anything back for about two to three business days, then I called back, spoke with another representative, and experienced another language barrier. She kept repeating what I was saying, but not understanding. Then I asked if she could please bring up the notes from the previous representative but there were no notes from the previous representative. So it didn't even look like I had called. She then had to submit another claim to have it researched and at that point, I was frustrated. I asked to speak with the supervisor and she said they didn't have any.
I told her that she had to have somebody above her and that I just needed to speak with somebody that could understand what was going on. Finally, she said they had somebody and put me on hold. Then she said they were going to reimburse us our $75 service fee and they'd research to reimburse us the $140. She said they'd get back to us within 24 to 48 hours and that was last week. I still haven't heard from them. So I feel like I'm going in circles. I was going to give it until Friday to see if I would hear back from them but I'm a little bit leery because there was no ticket issued originally. And if I call back again, I don't know if there's going to be any notes on hand.
It's not even really about the money, it's more the principle of it. They're not addressing the issue and even if I didn't get reimbursed, they could just follow up with us to say that they looked into it and unfortunately, they couldn't reimburse us. I just recommended my parents to go through AHS and I forewarned them that when you have to submit a service request, there is a bit of a language barrier. But overall, I've been satisfied with the service that I received with regard to repairs.

On the other hand, my Grantville home is rural-like and you don't get a lot of contracts in the area. It's hard for the home warranty company to find somebody to come to this area. When I had an electrical problem, they kept sending me to an electrician who didn't work in this area anymore. We went around for a couple of weeks trying to get an electrician to come.

My friend was the one who told me that it was a good investment. And he needed AHS one time, and the contractor came and took care of it. I called American Home Shield when my microwave wasn't working. It was a live person that set the appointment up. The rep was very professional and helpful. He said between the next 24 or 48 hours, I should hear something from the contractor. The repairman came out and he fixed it. He did exactly what he said he would do. What he explained to me was something with the door that jarred the fuse caused the fuse to blow. I was thrilled to have it working again. My experience has been great, except in the beginning when it came down to the transaction. On my first day of payment, instead of them taking the monthly charge, they took the whole yearly amount which jacked up my bank account. They reversed it, but it didn't sit well for me. Other than that, you need to get AHS. It was worth it.

It is simple to claims get claims via the American Home Shield website. It's hard to figure out how to get a human person on the phone if you have an issue unless you wanna sign up for a new service plan. But once you find someone to help you on the phone, it's pretty simple. Aside from being able to get a person on the phone, everything has been fine. American Home Shield responded really quickly to all of my inquiries and sent someone out immediately even when they had to come back out and redo something. My AC was not blowing air so I needed someone to come out and take a look. Techs fixed it initially but several days later, it broke down again. They are coming back out this week to fix the AC again.

I love the technician from A-Us Air Conditioning Of Texas that came out that time and he did a great job. What I don't like is that I had that same company come out a month earlier to go through my entire system, and they were supposed to check the part that was broken, and they didn't do it. Within 30 days, my air conditioner went out and the part that they replaced was rusted out. It didn't rust out in 30 days, I'm not stupid. They didn't even look at it. I was a week without air conditioning during a pretty busy time so I was not happy with the company at all. They've been terrible.
Then I can't get ahold of anybody at American Home Shield to tell them that. Nobody answers the phone. I'm mad at them because they were the ones that sold me this preventative check. Also, they don't have anybody that can make a decision when I call them. I've tried to talk to a supervisor. Miraculously, the whole company is run without a single manager or supervisor in the entire place. Crazy. I’ve already made the decision to switch, I’ve already paid for the other one.

I had somebody come out and fix my AC. Each time technicians come out, they do whatever they need to do to get the unit going. It works okay for a while then it starts freezing up then leaking again. I call them to come back out. I had somebody come out again last week. The first group that came took an hour to reach the house. After they supposedly finished, the AC would come on at that point but it wasn't cooling. It took the technicians an hour to keep calling back to their home base to figure out what it was that they hadn't done or what it was that they needed to do. That was really strange.
They couldn't quite figure out what was wrong with the AC and they kept calling back and going back and forth, in and out for about an hour. Finally, somebody told them what needed to happen and they did that. They finally got the AC to cool. Other than that experience, everybody that came out was professional. They wore masks and were respectful of my property.
Owning my own property as a single woman, something goes down a lot of times. American Home Shield has done different things that I needed. They've been a good thing for me. I have somebody that I can call and say I need something fixed. There was a time when technicians came out and did electrical work for me. One time, a gentleman had to come back a few times to fix my dryer because it was older. He had to order a part. For three days, he came back and he was still very professional. He got my dryer going and till now, it's still going. I didn't have to pay an additional $100 because it was for the same issue that the gentleman was coming back out for.
I am happy with American Home Shield. My son-in-law and my daughter bought a house and their home warranty is horrible. I told them that with American Home Shield, all I have to do is go online. I pay $100 because that's the plan that I purchased and they send somebody out. I have recommended them to people before. I tell them to go to their website and sign up. I also tell people how easy it is for me. I can pick up the phone and give American Home Shield a call and set up a time. They are very responsive. If I go online and say that I need somebody to come out, I get a call within the next day or so from a technician. I have always had a good experience with the technicians that came out.

We had a breaker that kept popping. I sent a claim on American Home Shield's webpage, which is an improvement in their process, but it doesn't allow you to put additional stuff into it and there's no way to write in if what is going on isn’t covered in their list of items. Things have not been there that should have been there and you can click “other” but that's it. Then, the tech said that he would contact me or I could call him if I wanted to. After that, he called me and I missed his call. I called him back and we ended up scheduling something a week later.
He was very personable, explained what was going wrong and how he was going to fix it. He also told me whatever parts were needed that he didn't have with him. He had to leave and come back with the parts, but he was back within an hour. Other than that, I've had some problems with AHS in the past. In November, I got a call back from an automated system that did not ask me the appropriate question. They asked me about the person I dealt with on the phone, which if I had to deal with that person daily, it wouldn't happen. I would have called and canceled my policy immediately. That person drove me batty. He was new and wasn't properly trained, so he just kept repeating himself but was still not answering my question. I asked to speak to the supervisor and I never got called back from a supervisor. And that one bad experience kind of overrides every good one I had with AHS.
All in all, depending on the claim, AHS do good on some things, but not so good on others. But they excel in their responsiveness. You can get a contractor out here pretty quickly, within a week, generally speaking. Sometimes two weeks, depending on what it is and that's good. Dealing with issues is a whole other thing, though. If I got a problem with the contractor or they refuse to cover something, but technically within the claim, they were responsible for a portion of it but they refuse to pay for any of it. There's no follow up and they just say they're sorry but they're not going to pay for the claim. It's just a flat out “No,” even though that portion is covered under the policy.
Plus, the people you speak to on the phone when you call need to be better trained and part of it is when you're calling someone about a particular issue, it helps if that person knows something. If I'm calling about my dishwasher, it would be good for them, while I'm on the phone with them, to get the model number if they could, because when a service tech comes out, the first thing they need to know is the model number.
Recently, I had an appliance call where the company call me on the phone asking for the serial number and the model number off my appliance. Then they asked me to tell them what was going wrong. So I had a whole discussion with Sears on the phone then the tech said that he was going to order a part and have it sent to me. Then he asked if we could reschedule for after the part arrives. He said it should arrive within 10 days and to schedule it on day 11. And it turned out perfectly. So knowing that stuff in advance is very helpful, even if it's the contractor aspect. But a lot of times, my thing was previously scheduled online before I even got out of the website for American Home Shield. So they had no idea until they called me.

We were hearing a squealing noise. We didn't know if it was in the pipes initially, but then, we could hear it pretty well in one of our bathrooms. Once a particular toilet was flushed, the noise would go away but we couldn't determine what was causing the noise. When United Air Temp came out initially, it wasn't making a noise so there wasn't anything that they could do. It started back happening shortly after. I was able to record it. They came out, checked several things, and they figured out that the valve needed to be replaced. Submitting the claim to American Home Shield and getting United Air Temp to come out were easy. But I think that there is a limitation on describing what's going on because once the guy came out, I had to explain everything. The only thing I could do on the AHS site was select “toilet”. A comment box would be efficient.

My condenser and something else were about to go out. American Home Shield sent a very knowledgeable company. It was an awesome interaction. They did not do repair work. I have to call American Home Shield because I wanted to pass out the price that they gave me. It was a lot of money. Before American Home Shield came out, I had a yearly contract with a different AC vendor and they quoted me $636. American Home Shield was gonna charge me $1,100 for the same repairs.
American Home Shield should take the time out to listen to the customer. My last interaction with them on Tuesday, the rep was going over the payment information, and I couldn't understand it. There's a big language barrier there. So, I asked him, “Hey, can you email this to me?” He said, “Yeah.” I said, “Do you need my email address?” He said, “No, I'm going to mail it to you.” I said, “That doesn't make any sense. You can't just email it to me?” He said, “No, we don't have the capability to email.” So, I told him, "I get an email for all of my interactions with you. But when I'm asking for the invoice or just a list of what I have to pay for, you have to mail it versus just email it to me, and we could go over it together.” That was definitely shocking to me.

When my air was not blowing any cold air out of it, getting the tech out took probably week. It was miserable. My kids and my animals were sweating all day. I told the guy about that and he was in shock that it took that long to get them notified. But he came out and fixed it within 30 minutes to an hour. He was amazing. Also, I didn't have to come up with $1,000 to have somebody come out. It's a set price which is great for a bigger family that doesn't have thousands of dollars sitting in their bank account. That's a true advantage of a home warranty.
I have another claim open right now for a refrigerator and it's going on three weeks now that I don't have a refrigerator. It took American Home Shield about a week and a half to get somebody out here. They came, looked at the unit and said they needed to order a compressor. A week later, I asked them what was going on. They said they were not going to make an appointment until they get the part in. I have insulin for my son who is diabetic. I need to have my refrigerator working. For the first week and a half, we had to keep it on ice. I'm not thrilled with this company that American Home Shield is providing to me. They should have more options for companies to come out as needed instead of having to wait one and a half, two weeks.

When making a claim to American Home Shield, you have to be precise. There can be two things wrong with something and if you only mentioned one, the vendors will only fix what you mentioned. So far, I’ve only dealt with vendors twice and they were top-notch. For our air conditioner, the unit didn't work because the drain hose was clogged. There was a shutoff valve on the pan underneath the air conditioner. Technicians repaired the drain hose. American Home Shield is relatively a great idea. When we sold our home, we bought a home warranty for the people there as well. When things are over 15 years old, a home warranty just makes sense.

I requested the service for my refrigerator and the washer. The contractor that AHS gave me only comes to my city on Wednesday. Because of that, I got somebody coming at five days later and I had to figure out what I was gonna do. I was hoping they could come sooner, but they said that they were the only one they had. I tried to call and see if AHS could get me somebody else but they weren't able to help me out. It would help out if they have more local contractors in every city. So they could have better customer service in every city.
The tech was good. He first started working on the refrigerator. The ice buildup in there was blocking the air and the cooler to the refrigerator below. He was able to fix that really quickly and then he started working on the washer. He looked at it and then he had to order a part. So right now, they’re waiting for the parts, and they will come back to fix the washer.
I called AHS and the way the lady was handling the call was a little weird to me. She said, “Okay. We could switch you out of this contractor and take you to another one. But then I cannot guarantee that they might be even further down than what you're getting right now.” I told her, “Well, why can‘t you just call them and find out how far is their availability before you switch me over?” Because it’s summer season and lot of fridges and ACs go out. So after numerous time telling her to contact the contractor, she did do it. She called the one that she was gonna give me, and they said the earliest they can come was the 12th. They didn’t have anybody else that could come sooner so I just told her to leave me where I'm at.
I had an issue with our AC last year. Every different AC takes different freons. With my AC, AHS only covers $10 per pound for the freon and I had to pay $1,200 out of my pocket. So there was lack of communication. I wish I was more informed about how much it cost when I got the service. But they told me that not all of them cost that much.

After I explained to her that he didn't do anything with the problem the first time, she recommended GE and she said they'll be there on Monday. I was hesitant to believe that. Sure enough, GE came on that day so I was very impressed with that, especially with a weekend call. They resolved the issue and they were good.

We had a leak in our master bedroom. The carpet was wet leading into the bathroom. The mitigation people from our homeowners insurance came out, ripped the carpet back, took out the wet padding and left a dehumidifier with us. They thought that it would be the shower pan that was leaking. When the plumbers from Myers came out, they systematically turned off several different parts of the running water to check the water meter. They checked all the toilets to make sure that none of them were leaking. They still haven't found the leak. They just told me that it was a slab leak and that they'd come back Saturday to try to find it. I'm still having to have my water off.
The only thing that I was frustrated with was when I got a call from Myers to tell me that they were coming out, they told me that they weren’t gonna be able to come out for four days. We were having our water off as much as possible to prevent the leak from getting worse. It would have been nice if there was an option for that or an option for somebody to call me to explain the situation and to ask if it needed to be expedited. I ended up calling American Home Shield to tell them, “My water’s off and I have a family of six living here. It’d be really nice if we could get somebody out quicker.” They said, “Yes. We'll make sure that this is expedited.”
There was no way to have that happen initially, which would have been nice to have. I didn't know that there was a different list for expedited things and regular things so I had to call American Home Shield. But they still didn't get the message so I had to call American Home Shield again to have it expedited. They called Myers directly then they called me back and said, “Okay. We'll move you up. You're on the list or whatever for the emergency number.”
The way that American Home Shield handles plumbing and appliances is really great. But for air conditioning, I hardly ever go with the contractor that they assign because it's really expensive. I typically go with my own contractor for air conditioning repair. Sometimes, I go back and get a cash-out from American Home Shield, which I still need to do.
In some ways, it's a really big pain to have to call somebody and wait for their contractor. But in the end, you typically do save money. It's just that you don't save any time. You request service then several hours later, it says it's assigned. But you have to wait for the contractor to call you. You can call your contractor right away when they're assigned, but they're annoyed if you call them too soon. If I was calling my own contractor, I'd get someone out maybe a lot faster than I would if I didn't call American Home Shield.
I had somebody come out in April. We brought out our own plumber because we'd had frustration with this company with air conditioning. I'd never dealt with the plumbing side of Myers before. I was gonna call our own plumber but I had already submitted a request to American Home Shield. This was on a weekend so it was taking a long time to hear back from the company. I was worried about the leak so I called my neighbors. My neighbor had a plumber that she liked so I called them. They came out and said it was gonna cost me $1,500 just to diagnose and find the leak. We were waiting to hear back from Myers and they came and found the leak. It was all covered by American Home Shield.
Once they found the leak, they knew what line they were gonna have to reroute through my house. There's a certain type of PEX pipes that they're using in the slab of our house. It's not designed to be underground so you'd get tiny pinhole leaks in your PEX line and it starts bubbling up after a long time. When our first leak happened back in August of last year, they told us that this is probably gonna happen several times because whatever PEX lines are going underneath our slab, eventually, they're all gonna have to be rerouted through the house. They're either gonna have to go into the attic or through the walls or whatever. In order for them to do that, they've gotta cut the walls out and reroute the line. Usually, our homeowners insurance will come back and fix the walls for us. It's a huge headache.
The last time it happened, the cold water on my bathroom sink in the master bedroom was the one that was leaking. They kept the line off then they drilled holes through the wall and fed the pipe through there and hooked it back up again. But in the process, they didn't realize that that line branched off to my outdoor tap so they cut the line to my outdoor tap and had to come back and build me a brand-new tap on the outside of the house.

This last time when my AC went out, that led me to go ahead and cough up the money to replace them. I did not like that it was going to be four days. American Home Shield wouldn't deem it an emergency for them to be able to put it into their schedule sooner. The guidelines that they had for that was if someone in the household is sick or if it was 105 degrees.

So, Doctor Cool came back out, but we had to pay another $75 fee that I didn't think was fair. We paid the fee and they came out and found out that all the Freon had leaked out. That was gonna be $560. So, we had to borrow the money to get that fixed. They came out again and put that in. There was some kind of a little nozzle type thing that had broken and it was why it leaked out. They fixed it and filled it and it's been working super ever since. So, I was happy and thankful that it got fixed that quickly.
When you call the number to submit a claim to AHS, there's this computerized part that you go through, and it does not like to let you get to a human being. It was easier this last time.

When it expired, I went back to American Home Shield because it's a good product. Recently, I had two claims that came within a couple days of each other. I did it online and answered the questions. They had dropdowns that lead to different questions and were sufficient enough for us to get going. The contractors were both great. For the air conditioner, the contractor called the same day, if not the next morning then scheduled the appointment the next day. Sometimes however, the people they send out are not local. I looked for one of the two companies. I'm in Reno and their home base is in Henderson, Nevada which is a 10-hour drive. They have strange contractors not having an address.
What I don't understand is for example they need to replace my stove and I have a high-end one, are they gonna give me a crappy stove or am I going to get a comparable one? On sinks, it says, “We'll give you home builder grade.” I don't have home builder-grade appliances or faucets. I'm feeling why am I gonna spend $75 to get a crappy sink or faucet that I'm going to have to replace anyways? It's not clear as to what I'm getting. This is a $400 faucet. I'm not gonna get $100 for it then have to pay out-of-pocket. It defeats the whole point.

My air conditioner is still not working right. It's like it can't keep up. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, it just kicks off. The inside unit runs, while the outside unit doesn’t. Sometimes they both run, but it still doesn’t cool sufficiently. I think the repair company did the best they can. They just haven’t figured it out yet. Still, I’d recommend American Home Shield.

My air conditioner was extremely loud and I needed to have it serviced. Valley Air Systems sent me a text message letting me know when they were coming and I could expect them. They showed up exactly when they were supposed to show up. They went back, they took a look at it, they went ahead and opened it, checked it, did full service, and closed it all back up. It helped a lot because with the temperatures going up, it prepared me for the summer and the heat. I would recommend American Home Shield.

We're still having the same issues we had with our AC a month ago. In May, we started having problems with it and All Coast Air Conditioning and Heating came out, assessed the situation, and said that we needed Freon. They put the Freon and the AC worked for about a week. It went out again and it took us a long time to even get an appointment with them. Then, they came out again. The young man came out two weeks ago and he didn't bother to go in the attic to check the air handling unit. He said we were low on Freon and he put some more in there. We paid them cash for the Freon, which was $340.
After he left, the AC went out again. We had the AC on and it started burning. We were afraid. We thought it was like some kind of fire that was going on in there. We shut everything off and called American Home Shield so they can send somebody back out but they didn't come back immediately. They came back four days later. It was very smoky and something was burning inside our home but no one felt the urgency. The young man came out this past Thursday and he went up to the attic. He was the first representative from All Coast to go up in the attic since we had the issue. He said the carburetor and blower are burnt out. With that, he shut everything off out there.
The problem that I have with the whole thing is that AHS is not communicating with us when our issue will be resolved. Nobody took any of our concerns on communicating with us whether they can do the job or not or if there's a part that needs to be ordered and they just can’t get the part. We kept calling and when we call AHS, we got the basic dialogue. We were told we have to wait 24 to 48 hours. It seemed like we're being told anything and we're sitting here without any air conditioning. I have a senior in the house that's in her 90s and we can't continue to sit in the heat. At least release our work order to another reputable company to come and help us.
I don't think we're being taken care of at all and there's no service at all. Whenever we call, our calls are being routed elsewhere and we're getting scripted responses. As a consumer, it’s terrible. I feel like crying at this point because we get the same scripted answers each time we call for help. But I called this morning and was told that the part is being ordered.

We signed on with American Home Shield because they were recommended by the title company and by our friends and they were endorsed very admirably online.

There was more communication than we expected, by email and by telephone, to assure that we were fully satisfied. We feel like we're getting our money's worth.
We called because we had buckling in our floor in the living room and we were uncertain as to where the moisture was coming from. The plumber from Service Contractors Plumbing who was dispatched examined the area and was able to determine that it was unlikely to be an actual plumbing issue with the pipe being burst or leaking. He showed me exactly how he came to that conclusion and he took the time to examine the area outside the house on the patio and pointed out several areas where it was clear that water infiltration was possible from the outside. We had a tremendous amount of rain over the last three weeks here in the Dallas area and that was identified as the most likely culprit. He made some recommendations for how he could engage another contractor to address that sealing problem. He was extremely professional, prompt, and thorough in the performance of his duties.

I had an issue with my upstairs air conditioner. The house wasn't getting cool. The machine was placed there in 2005 and I had problems with it in the past. One time it was a little over 80 degrees in the house. I called on Thursday and technicians didn't come out until Wednesday the following week. That was too long. Technicians finally came out and they looked at the air conditioner. The guy didn’t really tell me what was wrong with it. He said they would take it back to the shop and that they would get in touch with American Home Shield. That's like buying a car. It used to be when you bought a car, they take it into the guy that works the numbers. You never know what you're really paying.
Another guy came out and said he would help me finance a new AC. I just wanted to know what I was going to pay. I'm going to use American Home Shield because I pay almost a thousand dollars every year now. They said they were gonna get in touch with me. They came out and I said, “I'll pay for this, but what do I have to pay?” They had me paying almost $8,000 for an air conditioner. I told them that I bought a Trane from the same people three years ago and I paid $6,000.
I talked them down. They said they would give the unit for 7,000. But that's still a lot of money to pay for an air conditioner when American Home Shield is supposed to carry the load on that one. The technicians said the problem was the unit needed Freon. That's a big deal now because Freon is expensive. But if you're losing Freon, where is it going? Can that part be fixed? The technicians didn't answer that question.
I had to have an air conditioner and I was told by American Home Shield that I had to use that contractor. I used them before and they're out for the money. My best interest was not being met. I called American Home Shield to report this problem. They said I had to use their contract agent in the area. But that was not what I was told before. I'm tired of arguing with people.
I've been with American Home Shield for several years now and I hardly ever use them. But when I do use them, I don't want to have to get, “Okay. This is Joe mechanic down the street.” It's hot and I have to wait five days for somebody to come out to my house because the contractor is overloaded with work. I went online to look at some of the contractors. I read on one that the Better Business Bureau is not endorsing them.
American Home Shield had another agency right here in Murfreesboro that probably would have been better and they specialize in Tranes. Trane is one of the better air conditioners. I wanted to pay whatever I had to pay. The man that I spoke with at American Home Shield said I would get something in the mail about who paid what and how much. But I've never gotten anything from them. Also, the last time I renewed, the lady there said that if I have somebody locally that I really want, I can let American Hoem Shield know and they would work with you. That wasn't the case when I talked to their guy on the phone.
One time I had an issue with the same air conditioner. This was about four years ago. The technicians said that it needed Freon. I asked where the Freon was going because if you just put Freon in, it solves the problem right then, but it's going to come back. I would have liked to have been more involved. The contractor could have told me what the part is going cost, what American Home Shield was going to pay, what the difference is, and that I would be responsible for that. If it was a part that just needed to be fixed, I would have liked to have known that. I didn't want to have to buy a new air conditioner. But I also didn't want the contractor to just put the fluid in then leave. They would have made their money and gone to the next customer and it was the same thing all over again. That's not the way we deal with people.
American Home Shield could at least give me the ability to choose my own contractor and have them reimburse or at least give me a choice. It was basically take it or leave it. And that’s a lot of money I'm paying. Pretty soon, I'm going to have to have either a garage door fixed or my water heater. Are they going to give me the same person? It's crazy.
I was disappointed. The gentleman I spoke with on American Home Shield's end has a really bad connection. I asked him to call me back and he said he would but he never did. The contractor put the machine in and it's working right now. But did I really need to spend $7,000? Could they have fixed it and just moved on? In three years, I've spent $13,000 on air conditioners now. Last time I bought an air conditioner but it didn't do good.

On Memorial Day weekend, the AC went out. I put in the claim through American Home Shield's website on a Sunday and it was great. On Monday, I got a response that Air Doctor AC had been booked and they were out Tuesday afternoon. The guy was able to identify the issue which was the water handling. The pipes were clogged and it needed a quick cleanup. He was able to fix it and give me some tips on how to clean it and make sure if it happens again, I know what to do. When some of the repairs were done in the house, he was the same one that had been here and had to clean it out six weeks prior as well.
American Home Shield has been great for me. I used it the other day as well for plumbing. The tubs weren't draining. I put the claim in and it was frictionless. The day after I signed up, they called and told me some of the other options.

American Home Shield definitely needs to expand their contractor list, especially when it comes to emergency situations.

Recently though, the turnaround time was very quick. I had an overflow valve in a tub that was stripped and it caused a leak.

AHS customer service is designed to drive you crazy and give you the runaround. They are not helpful in any way shape or form. It's not their fault, it's the management that designed it this way. AHS sends out the bottom of the barrel contractors who get paid very little to do the jobs, they aren't happy working with AHS but they need the money so they take the job. Look at the reviews of the companies they send out. Most reviews have an average of 2.5 stars or less, compare that to the other companies in your area and they fall short plus most of the good reviews are of people who DIDN"T use AHS and paid the contractor full price.

For the most part, AHS handled my services professionally. I've had a few that I didn't particularly care about but overall, that's in a 1% to 2% range if you go from a scale up to 100. They repaired items with honor and integrity. If appliances needed to be replaced, they replaced them and I felt I got quality. I also like knowing that any of the things that I put under the warranty in my home are taken care of. My mother-in-law had one on her own and when she got through her warranty, she found out a lot of bogus things. I told her that she should have been using mine. I immediately put American Home Shield on this house too and I haven't been disappointed with them. I always recommend them and suggest that people use them. I’d tell them that I've been using AHS since I was 24 and I'm 50 right now.
I had a claim for my refrigerator recently where Sears came out. They were very professional and they ensured that they had the right parts to go in there. And the refrigerator’s working great now. Whenever I have a claim, I just go online and select the problem. If it’s an appliance, I’ll select the appliance and the model number, hit submit, and pay my prepayment because the payment information is already there online. Then immediately, I get a phone call back from the vendor that's assigned and American Home Shield alerts me who's calling immediately. So the process has been quite efficient and you don't have to wait on the phone line. I used to call them when I had a flip phone.

There was a period of time where everything had to be handled pretty much by phone so I would have to call my claim in with American Home Shield. The dispatcher would have to take my claim and sometimes, it takes three to five days before I heard back from the contractor. It was okay sometimes and sometimes, not so much. More recently, I’m using the website to put a claim in. I get immediate virtual feedback that says who the contractor is that has been assigned. They also give me the name and the number. I bypass the process of waiting for the contractor to call me and call the contractor. That seems to shorten the process. At the moment, I’m reasonably happy with it.
Recently, I put a call for my refrigerator and the technician came over. The problem was solved but now it seems to be reoccurring. But I was quite happy with the way things went. The contractor, Access Plumbing, contacted me quickly and the technician came over reasonably soon. Everything went the way I would have expected.
But there have been two or three times in the past when I discovered that the problem was one of those strange borderline situations where some of it was covered by the insurance and some of it was not. The basic problem with the system is that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to come up with a clear-cut list of what is in fact going to be covered and what is not. But other than that, I would do it again if I had to, although costs go up from year to year. I like the idea that if I have a problem, I just go online and somebody somewhere finds me a contractor to come over. Even though I'm living in a fairly rural area, it seems that AHS has a sufficiently wide network of contractors that somebody is available within a reasonable timeframe.

If you have a problem, AHS is fine. But the wait time is long. But once you get through and you list your complaint, they will make sure they correct whatever your problem is. I just think there's a glitch. I didn't have it last year or the year before. I wanted an air conditioner checkup. When I clicked on it, I never got any indication that it was for a checkup or maintenance. When I got an agent, they would hook me up with someone with the assumption that there was something wrong with my air conditioning. It was never a clear transaction. One time, I was transferred to a number and it was about canceling my insurance. I said, "That's not what I want." I had to wait online for 45 minutes and then I had the wrong department. So it was really quite frustrating. This happened to me a number of times. I just canceled it. I hope they transfer the $80.06 back to my account.

There was a need for electrician to come out and assess what needed be done to our electrical panel. When we moved in, there were rooms and shortages where the power would trip, like the hot water heater or in one of the bedrooms. The electrician was in and out. He seemed very experienced. He said he’d take care of everything and he did. It was a very good experience for a first time on utilizing the services of American Home Shield. I was happy I invested the money into that particular service. We have use of electricity without worrying about the hot water tank or something stopping and having to be reset, which is the necessary part of our daily living.

The tech came out knowing that I accidentally cut the wire. He taped it up and it worked one time. Well, then it didn't work anymore. I then got a receipt saying that he rewired it. I called and the lady said it meant the same thing. I told her no and that there's splicing then there's rewiring. The tech didn't rewire it. I was upset. I talked to American Home Shield and I found out that it wasn't covered, so maybe the tech just tried to do good by taping it. I just decided to let it go because he shouldn't have said he rewired it, because he didn't. But maybe he had to put something down. I ended up retaping it and I fixed it. I tried to get my $125 back because AHS should have said it wasn't covered and not send someone out.

For the one year we had AHS, it was great. It was a nice peace of mind to have that if something came up, it would be taken care of. I made a claim late in the evening for my AC and it went perfectly. I had the AC tech out there mid-morning. It was very timely. It took a couple of days for the part to come in and the AC was taken care of. But, I'm trying to weigh if I'm losing money or saving money at 600 a year with AHS.

I have two outstanding claims right now and one of them hasn't been addressed. That was for an intercom system that was affected when our power panel started going out. The other one is around the air conditioner and the vendor hasn't made the repairs yet and we've been put off a week. I've had numerous other claims and AHS has been fine in their services up to this point. But, it's a vendor issue and I don't hold American Home Shield responsible for it. I recommend the service especially if you have an older home and you need to maintain your appliances. For the money, the warranty has been well worthwhile.

The tech was quick and professional. He fixed our light fixtures, the light switches, and the electrical outlets. We needed the bulb, and it wasn't covered. The tech said to call him back if the bulb he put in doesn't work. When I called him back, he came and replaced that whole situation.

American Home Shield is a reputable company and they stand behind what they say. They give good service. Recently, a service technician came out, looked at the unit and said I needed a compressor. He ordered it and it took two weeks to get the parts because that's an old refrigerator. He brought the parts in and fixed the unit.

The AC unit wasn't cooling off. A tech came out and checked everything. It was completely out of freon so he filled it up. We got a cold spell so we didn't really use it then it started getting warm again so we put it on. It worked for two or three days. Then I noticed when I came home from work and it wasn't working. We could turn it on and it would flip the breaker. The tech came back out. He said the whole unit is shot and was trying to explain all the technical stuff.
When I spoke with the home warranty people on Tuesday, they said that they were sending the work request back to Mr. Plumber. I don't know who orders the unit if it's Mr. Plumber or the warranty program. The will order the new unit then set up a time for the tech to come back and install it. But nobody has reached back out ever since I spoke with the warranty people. They quoted me the out of pocket cost just for taking out the old unit and putting the new one in and that's kind of where it's been left. In the grand scheme of things, the process was pretty easy. But I was hoping there was more an emergency like kind of process. When it broke Thursday, I was asking was there any way somebody could come out sooner? We had heat indexes in the mid 90s, almost 100 for the whole weekend and nobody could come until Monday.

The guy who came out for the AC checked the system and found that the Freon was low, and he charged the system. It was very easy to submit the claims to American Home Shield. In truth, we have had issues with Fast Response in the past but the fellow that came out this time was an excellent technician. He did a great job, was very informative and explained to me what was going on, so I have no complaints.
