    American Home Shield has always been very easy to work with. Their claims process is simple. The prices are reasonable for what you get. It covers almost everything in your house. When you sign up for the warranty, you get to check off what you want covered. And what you can get covered is extensive. Part of it is HVAC.

    I go online with American Home Shield and submit my claim, tell them that my heat is not working. They contact the company, and the company contacts me. The techs were great. It was a simple fix for them. We had a sub-zero cold snap, and it is something that could happen to your furnace. It affects a relay. It's very common, and they had it fixed. They were in and out here in 10 minutes.

    Our first claim was a plumbing issue where the drain in the main bathroom is getting our son's carpet wet, and we didn't know what was going on. It turned out that it just wore out. So, the drain flowed from the bathtub. The contractor had to chip away concrete, which was a much bigger job than I could do. We had two plumbers out here all day working on it. And there was a part that wasn't covered in the warranty. But still, I had two plumbers out here all day for 275. You cannot beat that.

    I was getting ready to terminate American Home Shield. Because I had a claim and I paid them the deductible, and the contractor came out last Monday. And Wednesday, the contractor called me, “I’m not on American Home Shield warranty,” and asked me, said I had to come up with money out of my pocket. I said, “What are you talking about? Did you talk to American Home Shield.” I said, “No. They didn’t send me any information.” So when I called them, they told me there were some modifications made, and that I had to come up with $485 out of my pocket. It was, “Okay, so when was y’all gonna tell me that? And why should the contractor be contacting me instead of you all?”

    The next day, Thursday, I talked to AHS again. I told them it was ridiculous. Because I was out of my house for four days. I filed the claim on Monday. They didn’t come and fix it until Friday. And I told the person that that was ridiculous, and the way that they did the business wasn't right, and on Friday after they did the work, that I will end my contract with them. The person said, “Okay. Well, you call back Friday and do that,” and they hung up the phone. I called back Thursday evening and they were supposed to do a call review. Because the person didn’t record anything and I didn’t get the name. So I was very disappointed in AHS, and the way they handled my claim. I was told that they were a good company. But I found out otherwise when I filed my claim. They said they do not even care that I was out of my home for four days, and the person hung up the phone on me. That was very unprofessional.

    AHS gets people out there right away and they're also responsive. I also get to choose my deductible. I can pay more per month and have a lower deductible, or less per month and have a higher deductible. I had a dishwasher that broke a couple of months ago and it couldn’t get repaired because they didn't make the parts anymore. AHS offered to provide a dishwasher for me on their list, on their website, but I didn't like any dishwashers they had. They weren't the quality I was looking for. They offered a cash buyout to get my own dishwasher. But in order to get the money, I had to show them the receipt and the installation stuff from wherever I bought the dishwasher from, which wasn't made apparent to me beforehand, but wasn't a problem, because I replaced the dishwasher and I have the receipt. With my recent claim with Integrity Air, I had a condensate line that was blocked and they fixed that up in a heartbeat.

    I previously had a warranty with American Home Shield in my home in Savannah, Georgia for five years then we moved here in August and one of the first things I did was take out a warranty. We used them one time on a washing machine. The guy came out and said that the issue was a small float valve and that he would order it and it would take a week. He then came out, put it in, and everything worked fine.

    Since we moved here, we've had our second claim wherein the AC/heat pump has gone out on our unit and no heat would come on at all. I called in on Saturday the 26th and spoke with American Home Shield. ACE Heating came out Monday the 28th, diagnosed that it was a computer board on the unit itself, then turned it in to American Home Shield. AHS's parts department supposedly looked through the inventory in the United States and found out that part’s no longer made. It went back to the adjuster, then it went back to the parts department. It was back and forth.

    I have been calling American Home Shield almost every day and ACE Heating. I'm caught in limbo, because talking to somebody at the call center, they don't seem to understand that they've got to give approval for ACE Heating to replace the whole unit, because you can't just replace the heat pump. They've already told me that the entire unit is gonna have to be replaced, but ACE Heating can't do anything until they're given the go ahead. We've been without heat for the last two weeks. During the daytime, our temperatures get up in the 70s, which is okay, but at night, it drops down to the 50s. We get up in the morning that’s anywhere from 50 to 52 degrees, and I have to turn on our electric oven to try and heat up our kitchen area.

    The problem is that the call center being in India or the Philippines, they don't quite understand the urgency. There are also problems with the language. I called and said, “Look, what is the status?” The first time, they told me, “You need to speak with the technician.” I said, “Okay. Let me speak with the technician,” then they gave me the number for ACE Heating & Cooling. I said, “No. Do you have a technician that I can speak to?” Eventually, we understood they were talking about ACE Heating & Cooling.

    ACE Heating & Cooling has been very nice. They've been very patient with my phone calls, saying, “We have not heard anything. As soon as we do, we’ll let you know.” Twice now, the two different girls that talked to me said, “Please hold while I speak to ACE.” Ten minutes later, they said, “I have talked with them. And we've got it straight, and everything is authorized.” I called back a couple hours later to check with ACE, and they said, “We've received no correspondence by email, text, or voice.” It's a runaround, and I can't find the number to call the home office to report this problem to.

    I mainly decided to get a home warranty because of air conditioning and heating issues. I wasn’t happy with my home warranty. I switched to American Home Shield but they've gone backwards a little bit lately. When there's a problem, somebody can come out and they may have that part in stock. The providers told me that they can't change the part because American Home Shield wants to send them their own part. It can sometimes add several days to a week to a fix that could be done on the same day. The only improvement would be to just allow the local providers to source parts if they have them on hand. AHS does not do that to try to save on cost. But there should be a good balance between saving on cost and long delays for customers.

    I had a claim that took several visits. First, they told me the fan motor was bad so they replaced it. But that didn’t work. The techs were gonna come back and replace a control board. Before they replaced the control board, they sent a third person out to verify that diagnosis. He said, “No, it's not the control board, it's the thermostat.” The thermostat had to be sourced, which took a while. A gentleman came out and replaced the thermostat and it still didn't work. They then said, “Your control board is bad," so they had to get a control board. The tech had to come back out and fix that. It took probably five visits to get that issue resolved. Shortly thereafter, my other AC unit had a problem. That was just a bad relay. But everything seems to be working okay right now.

    When you have a home warranty, you do not have to incur the entire cost if a major repair comes around. Most of my claims with American Home Shield have been heating and AC and they have been different problems. I have an older system. I do my claims online and it's easy.

    I did a claim with American Home Shield and the guy who came out said that if the issue was the breaker, he couldn’t replace it and I would have to go and buy a new one. I could buy one from him too and he could replace it. But why would I want to do that if he was supposed to come and do the whole repair? That didn’t make sense to me and I was taken aback by his saying that. But then he referred me to an appliance company.

    A tech came and he asked me to turn the thing back off. I didn’t even realize he might try to do something to the microwave. I heard it when it clicked off again before I even came in. I went back and I clicked it back on. By the time I got back in here, he was taking it apart. I stood there and watched him. He replaced everything that needed to be replaced so quickly.

    When you have a home warranty, there is comfort because I know it’s there. I didn’t have to deal with the issue. At the end of the day, it’s like having a handyman in the pocket. The interesting thing is you can go online and do a claim. One of them was electrical and the other one was plumbing. I tried to do it online or on the app, but it was limiting me. For plumbing, I either could tell them my sinks, how many sinks, and one toilet, or so many toilets and one sink. The issue I had was with all toilets and all sinks. I called in because I didn’t want to have two service charges for plumbing. That was very easy to go through.

    The first time I did it, I had a huge list. The rep took it all down and said, “Well, let me just let you know you got to pay a deductible for each one of these ‘cause they’re different.” It was electrical, plumbing and appliance. Once she explained it to me, that made sense and I was good. I love American Home Shield's system.

    I had an issue with a contractor but it worked its way out so I didn’t have to go back to American Home Shield. I have something on my list I want to go back and ask them because of what was said. I have a tankless water heater and I was without hot water for a month. That whole situation had to end up being escalated through the plumber that came in. They didn’t have the parts. Then they ordered the wrong part. They had to order another part then they came back and said, “No, we need the other part. Now, we got to come back next week.” It was a comedy of errors.

    The very last person who came was the first person who came who had an issue. I didn’t know that there was a wash mesh in my tankless water heater and that was a whole blow-up situation. Finally, they realized that they needed all the parts they ordered. At the end of the day, they ended up having to go back to the office and get the other parts that they said they didn’t need and my tank got fixed.

    The AC unit was acting up and we had to send out several trouble calls on it because it wasn't completely fixed. When the contractor came out, they fixed one problem, and then they left, and then it froze over. So, I had to put in a recall for them to come back out and see what was going on. There was another problem going on but it's fixed now. The tech was very knowledgeable. I've also had previous repairs. I had a claim for the hot water heater about two years ago, and it had to be replaced. American Home Shield is pretty on point.

    I had a previous account with American Home Shield on a different home that I made a claim at that time. The contractor that was sent out was not able to resolve the issue that I was experiencing. They ended up having to call a different contractor who was also not able to resolve the issue. Despite the fact that my issue wasn't resolved, when I sold my home and wanted to transfer my fully prepaid American Home Shield one-year contract to my new home, I was not permitted to do so. Not only that, I was not permitted to receive any refund of the prepaid one-year contract at that time. That experience was predominantly negative. However, I was willing to give it another shot and sign up for a contract on my new home. The recent service for my plumbing stoppage was excellent. The contractor was able to resolve the issue very quickly and thoroughly.

    I like American Home Shield. They are very on top of it and accommodating. They're a good company so far and it’s way better than the one I have in my home. My other company that I do for this house is always questioning things and makes it difficult. When I submit a claim, AHS assigns a plumber and provides the number but usually, the plumber will call to schedule something once the claim goes in. A lot of times when you call a plumber, that costs you an absolute fortune. I had four different issues and they came and fixed them and it cost me $100, which is the deductible. I happened to have four issues so, I only had to pay $100. So, it was great.

    American Home Shield's rates were decent. They weren’t exceptionally high as far as what I could afford. I can afford maybe to scrape together 100 bucks to have a serviceman take a look at my dishwasher if it's not operating. And that's what I almost need to do next month because I'm on a fixed income. I'm retired. So I don't have a lot of money to work with. Right now, my dishwasher is accumulating water in the bottom of it and it caused a leak downstairs in the basement.

    There was a leak on the water pressure regulators where it comes into the house. It reduces the pressure down to 40 or 50 pounds. The same company replaced it last June of 2021 as extra work when they replaced the water heater. This particular device was not covered under our warranty. So we paid extra for it at the time. Prime Plumbing came, and the issue was just a small leak. It was just a drop every hour, and they said that their labor was only warranted for a month, which is a very short time. I've since learned that the part that they used has a one year warranty. But I don't think they knew that at the time. When it came to replacing it, the last quote they gave me was $500 to replace it. I complained to the plumber a little bit and to the person there. They said they could lower it to 400. But that was still too much money for a half hour job. So I haven't done anything. I'm just watching the leak.

    We've had the water heater replaced under the warranty. So that's good. It was very quick service. We appreciate that. We've had the furnace and air conditioner serviced also. We used to call American Home Shield to submit our claims. But then I realized they have an online portal and it's quicker to go in it to request service. Overall, American Home Shield's customer support is very good. They're responsive and they looked into things when I called. But it's different people each time I call. Sometimes they have accents and they don't have perfect English. I know that you can't expect that from everyone because we're a diverse society. But maybe they could practice their pronunciation to make it sound easier to communicate.

Stellar Air reached out to me, then I reached out to them and we coordinated a time. The tech came by the house and topped our AC off with Freon. It was my first experience with American Home Shield. According to my conversation with the person from Stellar Air and even a bit of conversation with American Home Shield, if the system's old, there has to be at least three attempts to come and check it out and make sure, “Yup, we feel it's old.” Going through a bit of time until there's a determination that the system needs to be replaced would have to happen.

    American Home Shield is a great service to have and I have recommended it to my friends who own homes. I had it a long time ago when I first bought my house. Then I moved around and in 2020, I restarted an account and they're really, really good for me. The claim with my furnace went really well because not only did they do their job well, but I was in the hospital for an emergency for five days, and they were able to work around that and work with me. They were able to rearrange and pick a better time after I was released, so I was very happy about that.

    I like the fact that I can do a claim online. You can log into your account and quickly put in a claim. Then American Home Shield will get the appropriate people to call you quickly. So that is definitely helpful, not having to jump through a lot of hoops to process something. It is not very time consuming. Also, the people that they contract with have been great.

    It was in the late afternoon when I realized I had a problem. I contacted American Hoem Shield and techs were here the next morning. They got everything taken care of. It required waiting for an air conditioner condenser to be delivered. Because of the delay in shipping, it took about close to two weeks to get the product in. I was among several customers who were waiting for products to come off a ship someplace. Once the product came in, the issue was taken care of within 24 hours. I had a very good experience with this contractor and I would use them at any time and refer them to anybody.

    There was water leaking from the water tank. I just noticed that it was on the ground, and it started leaking into the drain. I submitted my claim with American Home Shield on a Monday and the contractor was there that week. So, it took three days max. The tech came, took some pictures and diagnosed the problem of what he needed to do. He was inside the property 15 minutes at most. And when he came back the next day to install the product, he took less than an hour.

    We have had a leaky kitchen sink most recently and initially, the contractor was very responsive. The tech came out very quickly and it went well overall. We got it repaired and then within that same week, it started leaking again. So we called back to try to get them to look at it again. But they never responded to any of my phone calls over a four-day period, which was a little disappointing. They said, “Oh, we didn't call you back because you need to call your home warranty for a recall.” I told them that they could have called me to tell me that because I didn't know. So the communication was a little poor. But overall, the service has been good. The technicians were seemingly knowledgeable.

    Overall we've liked American Home Shield. But we've had a few moments where it's been more challenging than others. We've had a few times where we've had some frustrating moments. But it was likely related to some communication errors as to whose job it was to follow up on things. So overall it's been a very positive experience. We have had multiple things that needed servicing or repairs so we've made our money's worth back.

    The hardest thing at first was because of how they outsource a lot of their work, so a lot of times, I get people from different countries. They get tired of me saying “Excuse me? Excuse me? Excuse me? What did you say?” But other than that, I have no problem. AHS just sent a plumber because one of my toilet bowls wasn't working properly. After the plumber fixed it, it was still making a sizzling noise so I called AHS again and somebody got in touch with me that same day. The contractors were courteous. They asked if they needed to put on shields on their shoes. Plus, they had masks on. However, AHS's response time is not cool. When I put my requests in, they already snatch my $100 from American Express in the blink of an eye as quickly as I get service. But the best thing about AHS is that I don't have to stress about it when something breaks down.

    I've had very bad experiences with American Home Shield. I had a massive water leak that flooded my whole yard. They sent five different people out there and none of them fixed it. American Home Shield sent two HVAC technicians and two plumbers. The plumber came in the first time and said it was the AC, but the AC guy came in and said it was the plumbing. It happened two times in a row. The final AC guy said, "Hey, I have no idea what it is. We're gonna send a home inspector out here." But the home inspector couldn't find the problem. I had to fix it myself. The city water department came out and we tracked down the leak and fixed it. But when I fixed it myself, American Home Shield told me that I couldn't. So then, I broke it again, and then they sent a final person out there that tried to not fix it but I didn't make him leave until he fixed it.

    It took six different people to solve a problem that should have been fixed by one person. I had to pay $75 five different times, but I only got reimbursed twice when they told me I was gonna get reimbursed for the whole thing and that they were gonna get the company to pay me back for it. This wasn't the first time this has happened. When I first got in the house, I had a problem with my toilet and I ended up installing a whole brand-new toilet. But American Home Shield had three separate plumbers come out there and I only got reimbursed for one. They sent incompetent people. I'm a plumber and a mechanic myself and I found the problem in five minutes. I got to the point where I got sick of waiting.

    American Home Shield should improve their customer service. They hung up on me four times in a row. I get somebody on the phone I trust there, talk to somebody, and they just hang up on me. I sat there and waited each time and they never called me back. So then, I called them again. The prices are reasonable and it seems like a good deal but they're not providing the services that I'm paying for.

    Terrible experience attempting to get my home heating system repaired. First called contracted damaged our system and after several calls a second opinion contractor has come out to look at our system and we have been denied coverage. The company doesn’t seem to understand that the first contractor caused the damage and attempting to talk to customer service is a horrific experience. They can’t seem to understand the problem and they only read from the script they are given from either their own report or from the contractor.

    It’s been 5 days since the initial call for our thermostat to get fixed and dealing with the customer service department has been a nightmare. After numerous calls and basically getting zero help we are considering calling our own contractor to get our heat fixed. Look elsewhere for home warranty and avoid AHS at all costs. I would give a zero star rating if I could and I will be calling the BBB after this fiasco.

From that, I've been able to take care of it and it was all good. It was the way that the machine goes together, so all we have to do is monitor what's going on and make sure a certain part of the seal is kept clean and dry. It's just a maintenance issue.

    I'm going through something with American Home Shield now. S & S Appliance Parts & Service came out and said that the damper was stuck open. Because it was freezing, it caused the damper casing to crack so water is leaking all over my floor. This has been doing this about almost two weeks now. I'm getting water every day and every night. When I get up in the morning, it's wet. When I come home from work, it's wet. Even though I got stuff down, it's drenched.

    When the guy came out on the 28th, he said that the part was discontinued. He reported that back and called me back 30 minutes later. He said, "I reported to American Home Shield that the part is discontinued. They said they were gonna research the part." Come to find out, American Home Shield went on eBay and found one. They had it shipped to S & S, which was supposed to get there today. I called S & S and they said they didn't know anything about it because American Home Shield, on the date S & S came out, told them to close it because they couldn't order the part in, where the part was discontinued. I called back to American Home Shield just a minute ago. The lady said the part was shipped out there. She called S & S and they said they got to find it. Now, I still don't have a part and I fear that water's running all over my floor.

    The refrigerator's over 20 years old. They didn't fix it when they came in July. They put a temporary part on it and ordered the new part. They wanted to charge me another service fee, but the work was never done. The technician said he was gonna call me and tell me what he meant. But he never came back out here and put the permanent piece back on my refrigerator. At this point, I'm feeling the refrigerator I bought when I moved in the house 20 years ago is on its last life. They're gonna keep continuing to piece and piece it together, and I keep having a problem after problem. I'm so dissatisfied with American Home Shield. When they fix this refrigerator, I'm canceling them. They don't have a problem deducting that $60 out my account every month. If I have floor damage which they say is not covered, I'm gonna sue them because they're the reason for it.

Unfortunately, the machine ended up being totaled. I had two different people come in, and both times, I had to pay $100, and now, the machine is just dead. So, I'm getting a replacement. The techs were all fine and polite.

    I've contacted AHS and they gave me a list I can choose from, and then it shows anywhere from zero to 1,000+, if I want to pay for a better line. They also said that if I didn't find one on their list that I was happy with that I would get something like $124.68 that I can get reimbursed for if I pick one out on my own.

    I love the service. It's fantastic. I was very hesitant when I first joined AHS. The plumbing thing happened and I wasn't happy completely. I did another plumbing thing and the last guy who came out did a beyond fantastic job. So the people that AHS is getting are very good. I am very happy with my service. So I'm thrilled. When I call to file a claim, I press a button and it's automated. I hate it but it's fine. I've also done the claims process online and it's very easy to do. I press a button and then I'm charged. Last time, I was charged for plumbing twice and I really hope that they reimburse me. But I never checked.

    American Home Shield has replaced some things that needed to be fixed. There was a problem with our fridge. Our fridge isn't that old, but part of the water and ice system was messed up, so they fixed it. So, certain fixes have been good and made sense. When the toilet was clogged and had a leak, the tech fixed both things. Everything got fixed up fine. But the HVAC system has just been a Band-Aid over and over, when it's getting older as an overall system and it's getting to the point where we just want it to be replaced.

    We continually have problems with our HVAC system. And we're waiting for AHS to go ahead and replace the HVAC and not just keep patching it together. They keep replacing pieces and parts instead of actually replacing the whole system. They said it's a very old system that it’s getting time to replace. And they just replaced little to get it just enough to run. But always, every few months, we have to get more fixed on it. It has been a year since we moved in. They just fixed another part of it last week. I have brought up in the past about replacing it. And AHS said, “Well, it needs to be a complete system failure of some type where just replacing parts or a piece is gonna get it running for a while.” Because I still pay the $75 each time to get part of it repaired. At what point do we just replace everything?

    Four months ago, someone was supposed to come and fix my hot water heater. At that time, American Home Shield sent out a man who was coming for the furnace. He wasn't coming for the heater, but he told me that they had to order a pipe for the hot water boiler to work. Four months passed and I never heard from them. I called back and they told me the guy never even put in the order. When they tried to send somebody, it took almost another month. I kept calling, and he never called back to me to tell me about my heater down there. When the repair man came, he did it so quick. I said, "How you do this this quick like that?" He said, "Because I cut the pipe off." He didn't do it right, and now, my water pressure is down.

    I was very upset because the AHS rep said, "Well, what is the problem?" I said, "You can't help me with the problem because I've talked to you guys several times. I need to speak to a manager." And they didn't want me to speak to a manager. I called back the next day hoping to get someone else then when I got someone else, I could hardly understand them. I noticed a lot of Mexicans working for American Home Shield, but still, they were able to speak English very well. These ones that I've been getting can't speak English well, and they tell me, "I'm sorry, I can't let you talk to a manager." Then, I got ahold of one person and I don't think she was from Mexico. I understood every word she said and she got me to a manager who said someone will be out to take care of this.

    When I called back again, AHS told me that he would be calling me within a day. This man never called me back again. I'm in the same bind I was, and I'm tired of calling. The repair man was told to come back three weeks ago, but they never got him back. I'm getting ready to cancel out my service. This is the second time I was with American Home Shield and it seems like each time I go back and give them another chance, they mess up again. I'm very disappointed with this company.

    I don't know why American Home Shield would mess with a company that they know is not doing the job, and then they're gonna tell me that the master is going to call me. This man is not thinking about calling me. When he called, he sent a guy and he did a halfway job. Quick and fast. They don't care. Whatever contract AHS has with them, they'll need to cancel it out and get somebody else because they're gonna lose a lot of customers with this character.

    The first time the technician came, it was raining. He said that it would corrupt the system if he had to go open up the refrigerants. So, we got it put off for another day when it wasn’t gonna rain. Then a second technician came and he told me that he found the leaks, and they were more than one leak, and that he found it in a coil, and that the coil would need to be replaced. My system is old, so it's gonna cost a lot for the refrigerant because that particular refrigerant is no longer being made. And so, whatever is in supply, it's like $175 per pound. American Home Shield is only paying $10 a pound, so I would have to pay the other $165 a pound. It's probably gonna take 10 to 13 pounds because of the size of the system to fill it back up. He said he’d give me a quote for a new system if I just wanna change the outside unit, that he’d give me a quote for the outside unit because the warranty company is gonna pay to fix the coil. So I accepted that.

    I paid for a platinum level American Home Shield membership. I called back to get my furnace tuned up, and they said I had to wait three more days and that I was not out of the 30-day grace period. I was okay with that. So I simply called back and said, "The 30 days is up. I'm ready to schedule my tune up." They said, "We don't offer that." I said, "What the hell? You verbally told me that. I saw it on your website." They said sorry, but I told them to let me talk to someone that possibly could help me, like a supervisor. They said, "I don't have a supervisor here. We'll have to have him call you back." So I gave them my information. But at the end of the week, I didn't hear anything.

    I called back again and explained what happened. They said, "Oh, so sorry, so sorry. But we don't offer a furnace tune up.” But they offered it before I bought it. So I asked to talk to a supervisor and they said, "You want to escalate this call?" I said, "I'm not sure the terminology you need to use, but I want to talk to a supervisor." So they said, "Hold on." Then I got Angela, a supervisor, and explained what happened. She said, "Yeah. I see your point, sir. You've been told you are going to get this and then we didn't give it to you. Let me see what I can do." Then there was a click and I was disconnected. It was a 45-minute phone call.

    I called American Home Shield back a few days later, explained it again to the customer service rep and that I wanted a tune up. But I still got the same answer, "Oh, we don't give that anymore." So I asked to speak with a supervisor. The rep said, "Oh, would you like to escalate this to...?" I replied, "Sure. Escalate it." I got another person and I had to go over the whole story again. She said, “Is there anything else I can help you with?" But she was just trying to get that answer so she could hang up. So I said, "Yeah. You can help me. I need help. Your company." I told her that I was frustrated and I felt that I was very taken advantage of.

    Now, I called the 800 customer service number and pushed the button for sales. I immediately got an answer. I got a very clear speaking person and I told her what was going on. She was very apologetic and sympathetic. She told me, "I will absolutely escalate this. I'll get this to my supervisor. And we'll have someone call you back within 48 hours." But I've heard nothing.

    It's almost a month passed since I was told that I was eligible to get my furnace tuned up. That was part of the reason I did the membership with the platinum service. I'm ready to cancel the platinum agreement, get my refund prorated and go back to Fidelity because American Home Shield has not done anything. It's not very good business they're doing, so far.

    I was really frustrated last year. We had our main sewer line go out and I had main sewer insurance. But the break was only in the road, it wasn’t on our property. Because of where we lived, they made it a rule 10 years ago that the line is still ours, even into the street, because they're having so many of them fail. I thought that they were going to at least cover us, or at least maybe even help out. But AHS did absolutely nothing. We had to replace our entire main sewer line ourselves, which was very frustrating because we had that insured specifically. We had to pay almost $20,000 out of pocket when we had that item insured. But other than that, we haven't had any issues. Everything else has been fine. But that almost made us walk away completely. We were gonna stop after the year, then they offered to cut down costs for us. So, we decided to stay another year.

    American Home Shield has to do something about communicating expectation of repair with the amount of time it actually takes. If parts are needed, it was almost a month and a half.

And if it wasn't for the great service I got from the repair shop once they showed up, I probably would have. But at what point my time and inconvenience is worth more than waiting for a part?

The plumber came and fixed the cartridge on the handle of the shower and then he had to get some other contractors to come in here and take the shower apart. They put a purifier in it and made sure there was no mold and mildew in the house and all that. They took care of everything.

    But some of their contractors don't know what they're doing. I wasn't getting any ventilation in a couple of the rooms, which mean the air ducts weren't working. The AC guy went up there in the attic and he never fixed anything. Also, he fell and cracked one of the beams. They told me they were gonna fix it but they never did. This was in December and I still haven't heard from them. The beam is still cracked and I'm still having airflow problems in there.

    Then, I came to find out that the return ducts aren’t even hooked up. A tech came just last week and all he told me was that my problem is that I had the wrong air filter. He didn’t look at the return ducts. Every time I call Home Shield, I have to pay for them to bring service out here and I'm not getting any service. My air condition still isn’t fixed.

    American Home Shield said my refrigerator was deemed unrepairable. But it has only been five years. But my understanding of the warranty program is they replace it with the same value of the one I had. And when they say the same value, they meant depreciation, the same value that it was five years ago. That was not my understanding. However, I was wrong. I called AHS back and told them I needed more money because I could not come up with that $700 that would be the difference for the exact refrigerator. And the rep said, “Well, let me see.” She gave me more money. And I thought, “If I hadn’t been complaining, they wouldn't have given me that more money.” There are some people not like me, and they would just accept what AHS would say and take the lesser amount. But in this house, I could not afford that.

    The only complaint I have is the check I'm getting from AHS is taking way too long. I’m without a refrigerator. Luckily, I had a bottom freezer, and a couple of days ago, that quit. I had to borrow a smaller refrigerator from someone, but nobody has a smaller freezer. So, we are limited as to what we can eat. And even when I get the check, Sears would have to order the refrigerator. So, it's going to be another couple of weeks after I get the check. Other than that, Sears has been great. The tech got the job done.

    I've been with American Home Shield for 22 years. I brought a lot of people to them when they first started out. What I don't like is having to speak to someone in the Philippines. I hate talking to people that read a cue card. Everybody says they don't read cue cards. Then why do they say the same thing over and over? They have no authority. And their queue, I would fire their computer programmers.

    I spent six months fighting with AHS to replace my furnace. The coil interfaces between the air conditioning and the furnace and is partly responsible for pumping the air through the system. They did not replace the coil. They only replaced the furnace. They were not intelligent enough to understand what I was saying. These pipes need to be replaced. So, they cannot replace that. The air conditioning is going on the fritz and I have to fight with that. All I’m doing is fighting. On top of that, they have a program where you can upgrade. In other words, part of their program has always been, “Would you like to upgrade, since you’re going to pay the difference?” I was offered that opportunity on the furnace. I was told, “This is what you get,” and that's it. So they didn’t comply with their own contract program.

    The service of AHS seemed good and the benefits that come with it and the pricing were all better than other people. The signup process was good. The only downside was there was a very large delay in the call between me talking and them talking. The rep's system was down. So, the rep had to call me back 15 minutes later to get everything back up and running.

    I put in a claim to American Home Shield for the heating unit. It's over 20 years old and it doesn't heat my home properly. We're about to hit the summer months so that won't really be applicable. The gentleman said it's working fine, but my house just doesn't get hot the way it should. If I put it at 72, it should be 72 in the house. I have to put it at 77 to get it up to 72 degrees. He cleaned it. The furnace needs to be replaced but as long as someone says it works okay, AHS is not going to replace it. Last year, they replaced six parts and they've already come out and replaced another part this year. I think what’s gonna end up happening is they're gonna end up rebuilding my AC unit instead of replacing it. I guess it's more cost-effective for them to replace the parts as opposed to the whole unit.

    I think they'd be better off replacing the unit and moving on and they won't have an issue with me for the next 20 years but that’s just not what they’re gonna do. It’s expensive to replace it and I’m aware of that. So, if they can avoid replacing it, they'll avoid replacing it. They’ll just continue to replace the parts. Other than that, I like the response time to the vendors that they have. It's just that their automated system is annoying. It takes you forever to get a human being, but the response time is really quick when you do get someone. They try to get a vendor out pretty quickly, which is appreciated, especially when it's concerning your heat and AC use. I'm grateful that I have the warranty because when I think about what I could be spending on repairs, even though I'm not happy about them just piecing together the air conditioning unit, as long as it works, I'm good.

    The service has been crappy. My hot water tank started leaking, so I called to have it repaired and the plumber that American Home Shield assigned me was Nussbaumer Plumbing. They couldn't get me in until Friday, and that was a Tuesday, and it was starting to flood my basement. I called American Home Shield, and they said that they would prioritize it as an emergency and if they couldn't find anybody within four hours, then I was welcome to find my own plumber.

    They never called me back at all. I found my own plumber, had it done the next day and when I called to find out how to submit my receipt, they told me that they never approved for me to find my own plumber. I said, "Well, your person on the phone said that I could find one if they couldn't find one for me." I've been waiting for them to reimburse me, and they haven't done so yet. They've been saying that they had to review that phone call, and they haven't. I've been asking for the call review since January, and I keep calling them every week.

    American Home Shield has done other repairs for me, and all of those have been fine, but this one's really sticking out to me right now. Also, it would be great if they didn't have their call center in Asia. Not to offend anybody, but it's really hard talking to somebody that sometimes is just reading from a script and doesn't know what else to say. Not only that, you also can't talk to anybody who's above that person to get anything done when you do have a problem.

    I'm not enjoying American Home Shield’s service. My stove started messing up so I filed the claim with AHS and they sent one person who changed a bunch of stuff on the stove. And the same thing happened again. I called back again. It was in 30 days that same thing happened. They sent somebody else again with no charge. I was without a stove since August of last year and they didn't want to replace it. They sent 10 different companies to fix it.

    I was looking forward to getting a different company. I was just waiting for AHS to close my case. After almost a year, they replaced my stove. This last time, even the technician that went out there told me, “No, there's nothing I can do about the stove.” And he called and told the company, “You know what? I can’t fix the stove. Everything that needs to be replaced, it’s already got replaced.” It took me a long time and a lot of fighting. This last time, I even told AHS that if they don’t replace the stove, I might try to file a lawsuit and make a report with ConsumerAffairs or the Better Business Bureau because they are too much. The only thing I got happy is that I got my stove replaced after almost a year. But that’s that. I don’t recommend AHS.

    My last experience, which was the refrigerator icemaker repair, was great. But I've had a number of times it was not positive. Very difficult issues that would come up. And I was responsible for chasing American Home Shield down with the vendor that they contacted to come and do the work. That has been a disappointing aspect of this experience. I've never used a home warranty product before, so I've continued to use it, but I had some big concerns about the process and how awkward it is. And there's no way to call and talk to anybody with any authority in AHS.

    The tech showed up on time and got it done, and it has been working perfectly, so I'm very satisfied with that. But a consumer should be able to call AHS and talk to a person that has some capacity to look into a situation and resolve a situation. And when a customer describes the issue that they need assistance with and provides things like model numbers and make and all that information, it would be helpful if the repair person could bring the associated parts with that on that trip instead of them coming, looking at the situation, and saying, “Well, now I'm gonna have to go order parts. I'll be back in a week or two.” So, this hasn’t been simple and easy, and obvious and direct. It should be. That's the way AHS markets their product, that it takes the burden off of me to deal with these things. But that's not the case.

    I started off with American Home Shield, and then I switched to Choice. I didn't like Choice’s webpage and I didn't have a very good experience with them the first time I had to call in for service, so I switched back to American Home Shield. For the most part, my experience was pretty good. I did have one instance with a refrigerator where it took them the fourth time coming out before they replaced it. And in that time, I lost a freezer full of food. So, my suggestion to them was to possibly make an add-on that they would maybe put a cap on the amount of food one loses in the refrigerator because of the fridge being broken. Having the warranty is great for somebody that is not a fixer-upper or doesn't have the funds on hand immediately to get something done.

    American Home Shield was not that great. I wasn't with them long, but I got the beginning charge for joining. Then I had a plumbing issue less than 30 days. So they gave me the number to call the plumber, which I paid for. But what was the purpose of me calling them and then them giving me a telephone number to call the plumber myself? I could’ve called a plumber anywhere in my local area. I understood the part that they don't do anything for a month. But the part I didn't understand is why I was being charged $100 if they were not making the call. It was a bad experience. They advertise on TV and they are great company. But in the long run, they're not. You don't charge somebody for a full month, then charge them $100, and get nothing for it. That's a rip-off.

    There was a leak in my bedroom in my water pipe. The contractor came out and fixed it. It was difficult because American Home Shield assigned one plumbing company, but nobody called me for four days. It took four phone calls to AHS to try to get another plumber out here while I was out of water. And they finally assigned Hers & His Plumbing.

    It took so long for AHS to contact me back. They didn't stay in touch. Nobody would stay and contact me at all. I had to call them every time. I got no response from them whatsoever. I had to call them and stay on hold for hours to try to get Hers & His Plumbing out here before they did anything. It took way too long trying to go with that first company that they assigned. And nobody could get anything done for a week. I didn't get a call from the contractor, First Choice. And I didn't get a call from AHS for three days in a row. And the first lady I talked to at AHS, I explained I had no water. And she said, “Well, we're gonna put an urgent express call on this for you.” Didn’t hear from anybody.

    I kept having to call them back and still got no response until, finally, I got off of my ass to look. “This is not good. I want a plumbing company out here now. You've got to have more than one plumbing company assigned to your area here.” And they finally said yes and got that other company assigned. I had to make the initiative to do all of that. And I work in this home improvement business. I shouldn't have to do that.

    After AHS assigned, Hers & His came right out, did the inspection, did everything, and were fantastic to work with. Zach was the gentleman's name that came out. He was very good, professional, came out, figured everything out. They had to get a leak detecting company to come out and find the leak. And the next day, they came back and fixed it. Hers & His Plumbing did a great job. AHS should have assigned them right away if they put it in as an emergency, rather than me waiting for four days before I called them back and got no contact with them. That was the only problem.

    The repair person deemed our kitchen faucet to be unrepairable. We went through AHS to replace. Repair person came in with new faucet and said they were replacing it with the same one I originally had. No need to stare at the guy doing the work, right? He left and when I came into room the faucet was a different design style. Slightly different color and a brand name I never heard of. The guy did a great job installing but when I called AHS they said "it's close enough". I was shocked.

    We purchased the policy to protect what I've invested in. I don't want an ugly, cheap, discolored faucet in my modern new home! I sent pics of the differences which are actually hard to pick up accurately with my phone camera but when in person you can completely see the differences against the rest of home. Just so disappointed with this company! I have to purchase and hire someone to reinstall my faucet. I would have to say BUYER BEWARE when considering buying a policy with them. PS. I am a realtor and purchased the absolute best policy I could buy with them.

    I’m very satisfied with American Home Shield. I know eventually they get things done. Sometimes it takes a while longer, depending on the situation like I have right now. A guy came out this morning to repair the stove but he couldn't get it done. He said that there was a problem with electrical, but my electrical guy just came out last week and cleared everything. So they're gonna send another guy to cover what he said he could not cover. That’s set for tomorrow. And once that guy clears the electrical, they’ll send somebody else back again to see if they can get the stove going and they'll go from there. I haven't cooked on my stove in a week and a half now, so that has been tough. And I have the setup for soup today so I can put that in the microwave. But I know it will get taken care of, whether they get it fixed or replaced. I just don't know how long it will take. But it will get done.

    When we signed up, the contractor assumed that my address was in Orlando because when they asked me for my address, I said my address was 1720 Open Road, and that was all they needed. But what they did not ask about was the zip code. So what they did was when they put it in 1720 Road, apparently in the Orlando zip code, I said, “No.” The guy was getting ready to come out and he said that he doesn't do Lakeland. It was not the address that he had. We figured out. It was the wrong zip code.

    It took three days to get all the bugs out. Once we got it, the guy from Hers and His Plumbing came out. The young man, Dennis, and this guy that worked with him, came in and checked everything out. He went to my number one problem, which was the faucet. He took that apart. Everything that happened, he showed it to me. And the leak, it was crazy. It was amazing how a little thing can cause such a big problem. They fixed that. I was very satisfied with that. And I'm very satisfied with Hers and His Plumbing.

    The next day, a young guy came out. He took care of it because still the dryer wasn't coming on. What it was was in the breaker box. So, he replaced that breaker in the box and checked everything, turned the dryer on, and there it was. When my wife connected the washer, she had the wrong line going in the cold so we didn't have cold water going in there. They came and took care of that as well.

    I've had my stopped up commode for over a week now and I still don't have my issue fixed. One person says one thing but another says something else. The contractors were good and I like them. They're nice and they've really helped me out before. But this time I'm just disappointed and almost in desperation. They haven't done anything yet. I can't wash clothes or dishes or anything. Other than that, I'm very pleased with AHS and I would definitely recommend them.

    I had a refrigerator that the freezer stopped working. I submitted my claim through the app and it went smoothly. The contractor called. They came the next day, fixed it on the spot. And that was it. They were professional. They were reserved, but got the job done. However, American Home Shield initially signed a company that was not up to my standards. I asked them to switch it to a different company. The second company had very bad reviews as well, but was a bit better. We have a newborn child and we have breast milk. It needs to be frozen. So, I just needed it to be fixed, even if the experience would be terrible. But they ended up fixing it. I've heard that AHS hires terrible contractors. So for this last one to show up, do it, and do it correctly and have no issues, it was a good experience.

    Water was coming in from my upstairs neighbor's apartment and it was leaking all over several areas of the house. A contractor came out the next day and they were great. Once they'd figured out it was my neighbor's apartment, I thought they would just stop and go home. But they went under my apartment to make sure that nothing was leaking in my bathroom. They stayed there for a good 20 to 30 minutes checking stuff out, making sure it was nothing wrong with my unit. I appreciated them doing that.

    We have been dealing with American Home Shield for at least four years on different houses. They've always been there. I'm not having to worry about too many issues without paying so much out of pocket, to having complete strangers coming out and having to pay their full quotes. It's a money saver and time saver as well, being able to have someone come out the next day. The reps are nice. But if you need anything beyond the complaint request, it seems like they don't speak English very well. I can't understand what they're saying half the time.

    I've been happy with American Home Shield generally. Sometimes, it's not the easiest depending on the job and what we're dealing with and there are a lot of steps to go through. With replacing something, like air conditioning, you need to get somebody out and you need to get them to determine that it needs to be replaced. Then, you need to get American Home Shield to agree. When they agree, of course, not everything's covered. You have to get the technician to tell you how much is not covered and how much you have to pay. Much of the extra that you pay is for modifications on whatever is hooked up to be up to code. Some of these costs vary dramatically. So, it's out of the control of American Home Shield since they're only paying for the equipment and the installation. And then, they turn around and they say, "Well, what about a cashout?"

    The last situation I had is, "Okay, for the inside-outside full air conditioner with install, we'll give you less than $1,000." "What?" Those units cost $2,000 apiece, plus install. So, you're probably getting $2,500 worth of equipment when somebody does it, but they only give a cashout for less than half of that for whatever reason. So then, you're stuck with "do I take $1,000 and get somebody who's more honest in giving me the extra stuff to code to deal with, or am I losing money because they're not paying a full cashout for the value of the equipment?". Those are issues that you deal with American Home Shield and with the provider they have. So, it's good, but it's difficult.

    Recently, techs came to one of my properties to repair a refrigerator that had stopped cooling. They identified the problem on the first contact and they fixed it. Then, they said, "You got another problem which is a light switch when you open the door for the thing. We need to order that and we'll come back." They came back in a week and fixed it at no extra cost. That was great.

    When it's a repair, that goes pretty well because American Home Shield will certainly pay for a repair on a system. When it comes to replacement of the equipment, we've been through hoops on dishwashers, refrigerators, and air conditioning systems, and we go through hoops with American Home Shield on that to figure out the value.

    The last company sent for the air conditioner on our rental property said, "The condenser's out. You need to replace it. It's old. You need the inside and outside unit." And American Home Shield has agreed to pay for that. Our cost to install that with upgrades is $3,500 out of pocket in addition to what AHS is paying for the air conditioner. You can buy a unit for $3,500 and have it installed, never mind the extras that they're charging. In this case, it was exorbitant and I thought they were scamming me.

    I've had a lot of experience with AHS on multiple properties on multiple issues, I requested that they have one of their approved companies see this air conditioner that I had a problem with. The person who I'm calling is in the Philippines and they say, "No, I'm sorry, we can't select that company. You have to take what the computer selects." And I said, "Really? Why not? This company has worked with me and is an approved American Home Shield provider for years." I had to take this other company that is scamming me on this deal. If AHS has providers that owners have experience with and request, they should allow that to take place.

    So far, my service with American Home Shield has been good. They've been pretty quick on repairs and doing what they need to do to get things fixed. One time, I had an issue and unfortunately, they couldn’t fix the item. It was a tankless water heater. It was so old and it couldn’t be repaired. The parts weren’t available anymore. That was replaced. American Home Shield issued me the value of it for me to go find the one that fits my space.

    American Home Shield is beneficial if you have a house that’s lived in. It’s been a benefit for me. I had a previous house and the fee of the home warranty was a little cheaper compared to American Home Shield, but it was not as easy to get someone out here and to get someone to respond. As for the replacement product, whatever they have in stock was what you were gonna get even if it was a lot worse in quality. With American Home Shield, the replacement was apples to apples so I was happy about that. That’s really what I liked about the home warranty.

    One contractor I had was Antech Appliances and they came out a few times for different appliances. They've been good. There was a language barrier, accent-wise, but they were really nice. The one who came to fix the refrigerator had limited English but we were able to communicate just enough of what we needed and we made it work. He fixed what was wrong and that was really what mattered.

    I just called Ameican Home Shield for another issue and techs are coming out tomorrow. Online or on the phone, they didn’t give me a way to be more exact about what was actually going on. It was an electrical issue. The phone option didn’t give me a chance to leave a recording. The online option didn't give me a chance to put in notes so that they know exactly what the problem is. They come and they don’t have the parts so then they come again.

    I decided to get American Home Shield because most of my appliances are 10 years old and they are probably going to start breaking down. And so, I thought it was about a good time to get the coverage. There was another company that first reached out to me but I wasn't happy with them. On the other hand, American Home Shield's representative was very responsive and the rate may have just been a tiny bit more than the other company. But I wanted a company that was going to respond to me when I needed to be communicated to. If anything goes wrong with all of my appliances excluding my microwave plus wall heaters, I call American Home Shield and they will send out somebody who will either fix it or determine if something needs to be replaced. If it needs to be replaced, they will replace it comparable to what I currently own.

    The other reason that I had signed up was because there was one wall heater that was acting up. I hope it even makes it through the 30-day window of the warranty. On the 4th of February, it stopped working. I was able to press the button and get it working but it would turn off quickly. I called my home warranty and told them about the issue. I was under the assumption from the communication that I got that day that they were looking to find a provider to come and fix my heater. But I heard nothing for four days. I called and they said, "OhYou called in on the 4th. Your policy didn't start till the 5th. So it wasn't covered." Communication about that would have been nice.

    I got the heater to work but it kept turning off. I called American Home Shield again and they said, "That one heater obviously you can't get covered because you've already called in on it... You have to prove that this one's been fixed before we'll even come fix any other heater in your home." It was very unclear to me, and it was very confusing. That was my first experience trying to use my policy and this communication that I thought was great with the person who sold me the policy wasn't great in that experience. That was disappointing.

    There’s a pipe in my basement toilet that was leaking and my kitchen sink was stopped up. Enterprise Plumbing came out and stopped the leak in the basement but when you flush the toilet, the water wasn't running. So, it took a couple of weeks to figure that out. So, we called American Home Shield and asked for somebody else. Because when I called Enterprise, the plumber was yelling at me. He was very nasty.

    The sink was backed up and we have a very long pipe. Astro was supposed to come but they didn't come out because they didn't have a snake long enough. I told them over the phone that it had to be at least a 100-foot snake and the guy said he wasn't sure.

    Up until the other day, everything was okay with American Home Shield. I had put in a service request. Originally, it was for my garbage disposal. The guy that came out and took a look at the garbage disposal said, no, that wasn't the case. He said it was the dishwasher. He had put in the request for someone to come to check the dishwasher out. In between the time that he put in the request, I also realized that my refrigerator was acting up. So, I cancelled that request and requested the refrigerator and the dishwasher at the same time.

    The repairman that came to check those appliances, before he even stepped foot in my house, the very first thing he said to me was I got a rodent infestation which was why I was having a dishwasher issue. I haven't seen any rodents in the house since I’ve been here, so that was not true. He said, “No. That’s always the case. People just don't realize that rodents nest underneath the dishwasher.” First, he started messing with the refrigerator. Then he stopped and went to the dishwasher. He kinda moved the dishwasher out a little. He said, "You see this hose? You can see where the rodents went by and through in it. American Home Shield’s not gonna pay for a hose because they consider that a luxury item.”

    Before he left, I asked, "Since you're stating that American Home Shield won't pay for it, can I get your company to put one in?” He said they don't do installation. I said, "Why did y'all even take this bid if y’all don't do installation? You're just wasting my time and making me go back and forth with American Home Shield to try to get someone to come out here and fix something.”

    I stated to several of the representatives that I have talked to from American Home Shield, “I'm not the smartest person in the world, but I do know if you have rodents infestation, if you're in their area and you're moving things around, they're gonna run out.” Nothing ever came from underneath the dishwasher the entire time repairman was there and he was at my house for about an hour. When I first called the customer representative at American Home Shield to discuss the ticket, the first gentleman I got, said, “If we do send somebody out, and if they saw what the last technician said, we're gonna charge you for that service.” I said, "You're telling me within less than a week, I'm gonna have to pay you guys $300 just to get something fixed? I probably can get it cheaper by just hiring someone on my own. It’ll probably just be best to go ahead and cancel the contract.” It was almost like all of them were siding with him.

    When I got someone else to cancel the contract, he said they would escalate the ticket. If he escalated the ticket, no one ever contacted me. I gave it a couple of days. I called back and told them I just wanted to cancel the contract. The lady I talked to yesterday said, "We can send someone else back out there or we can refund you your money, whichever one you want. We would rather keep you as a customer.” I told them to refund me the money, and I'll just get someone else to come out and fix it. This was my first time having an issue with anything with American Home Shield concerning a repair. Any other time, if something happened, they came out and fixed it. If they didn't fix it, and if I had to contact them back for the same item, they would just come out and do it.

    I wasn't happy about the plumbing claim with American Home Shield. I was more confused than understanding what was going on. I called for the first time to have service because my faucet was leaking. Not in a big amount, but it was leaking water. The plumbers came in and did their work. They changed the handle of the faucet. But during the night, the water kept dripping. I called again, and they came back. They said the tube for the head of the shower was accumulating the water, and that was why the water kept dripping. But it wasn't from the plumbing system. After they left, when I opened my water, it was different because the pressure of the water was more than it was usual.

    After a few days, I received a message stating that they wanted to charge me a particular amount to fix something about the pressure. It was confusing because the plumber never said anything to me about any pressure. When I tried to explain to the company what happened, I didn't feel that they were hearing what I was saying. The rep kept saying, “Don't worry, he didn't do anything. We can go there and fix it."

    I kept getting these bills from the water company and they were telling me that they were high so they wanted me to check for leaks. I called AHS and they sent a plumber but they were useless. They didn't come with equipment and they didn't know what was going on. They didn't even seem interested. Thankfully, AHS sent out a second plumber, Carl & Son, who was absolutely fabulous.

    They came out right away with some little equipment and they started trying to figure out where the leak was. They found it and they said they're gonna have to bust up some flooring and all that kind of stuff. They reported to AHS and they gave me the out-of-pocket price, which almost caused me to faint. But the things that were covered, they went ahead and they did it and I'm very happy. What I liked was that the owner of the company came after the service guys were done and he thoroughly inspected everything. He went behind them and made sure everything was done like it was supposed to be done. Then, the water company came by, looked at it, and told me that the leak is gone.

    I was thinking about canceling AHS but based on this experience, I'm going to keep them. I was very appreciative that with the first plumber that they called out, I didn't have to call to tell them that I wasn't happy with the plumber. They must have known something was going on because they sent me a text and said they were going to send out another plumber.

    I had some problems with the gas water heater. The problem occurred on Friday and a tech came out on Monday. It was good. He started quite fast because it turned out to be a small thing. He was only there for a short while. A home warranty is primarily for these small things that come up where you can get a lower price on service rather than paying the full price. They do bigger things but hopefully not.

    The only thing is if you have a house where you have two units and you order air conditioning service, it's not totally clear from the website that you pay per unit. If the expense is $75, it actually turns out to be 150. Normally, you would have to make a new appointment because the guy would only take half an hour off for doing the job. For two units, you have to do two individual appointments. Maybe I missed that but that could be clearer on the website.

I wasn't gonna have to wait for six months to do it. She made it so smooth and easy for me that I was like, "Yeah, let's do it." The price was very reasonable too. I love AHS.

    American Home Shield comes in handy. If you don't have time or you can't find nobody to do anything, then if the issue is under warranty, they can come and fix it. My recent claim with them went good. The tech came in and did what he had to do.

    I've always found American Home Shield to be okay. I reconnected with them. I had a claim for the dishwasher recently and I had a bit of an issue because the first guy that came in didn’t fix it. He said everything was fine but it was still leaking water. I had to get a second opinion. The second tech found that it was a very simple fix. A fork had slipped through the silverware holder and it was holding the washer that spins around in a position that aimed it at the door. That was why it was leaking. We just removed the fork from the thing and I haven't had a problem. I like to have the home warranty in case. It's an insurance policy. The dishwasher that's in there was actually replaced by American Home Shield. They did the same for my microwave oven.

    The air was not kicking on the furnace or the AC. Neither one would come on. The tech was here the next day. It was fast and he was great. He happened to have the part that he needed and he got it fixed the same day. They've come out a couple of times for different problems and they've always been good, but this one was exceptionally good. We've been in this house for at least three years and we're in an older home. So, things are more likely to go wrong. A lot of things don't need to be replaced, they just need to be fixed. With American Home Shield, for not very much money, you could get things working again. I wish it was easier to talk to a person sometimes though. They want to log cases online and that works great when everything goes normally. But if something is unusual, it's hard to get ahold of a person.

    It was a long wait period but the last time I called it, it got better. For a while, it was really bad. The other thing is that when it's time to replace an appliance or a unit or whatever, they don't give you a whole lot towards it. They'll give you some money towards that replacement cost but they just want to repair what you have. It's more that they just give you a flat payout, which is probably not enough to replace. The big benefit is when you just need something repaired more than replaced.

I've made three claims since we've moved in, and they've been taken care of quickly. They don’t try to get out of covering things. If something was wrong with something, they took care of it or replaced it. My outdoor faucet in the front of the house broke off. The contractor came right out to replace the faucet.

    The first group that American Home Shield hired for an appliance repair didn't come out. I told them I didn't want them to come out because they were telling me what time to be at home. They weren't asking me when I was going to be home. They weren't very caring about my schedule. They just called me and said, "Hey, we'll be at your house in 30 minutes." I told them, "Dude, I don't even know who you are, for one. Two, is that how y'all set appointments?" But the second guy that American Home Shield sent out was really good. He was a rockstar. He did what he was supposed to do and fixed the issue.

    I had problems with the first two people that American Home Shield scheduled to come out to my house for the first two claims that I ever did with them and that didn't make them look too good. Then I had American Home Shield telling me that I had to have people in my house that I didn't want in my house. I wasn't really too happy about that and I almost left them. I told them that I was going to cancel my account with them because the lady that I talked to acted like it was no big deal. I kept on having to repeat myself over and over and over and over again because of the language barrier. Either that or she was just ignoring the fact of what I was saying because she kept on repeating herself. So that really pissed me off.

    Sometimes, going through American Home Shield seems like the better deal. For example, I had a guy come in for my dishwasher. He fit me into his schedule and took care of it. We no longer have a problem with our dishwasher. But there’s been times when it was more economical to go straight to a repair guy rather than try to go through American Home Shield, especially on air conditioners. I've had a claim for the air conditioner through AHS and I was kind of scared of the guy that came out. My wife and I felt really uncomfortable with him. He was aggressive and odd. He told us, “Hey, I’m doing this so you need to pay me extra money.” I didn’t like that. But that was out of AHS’ control and that was just one incident.

    Every time I deal with this company, it is an entire procedure. My dishwasher was deemed to need to be replaced. I spoke with an American Home Shield rep, who gave me a cash-out number based on the old dishwasher I had. Ok, so far, everything is good. As per their instructions, I find a dishwasher I like, order it, pay for it myself out of pocket, get it professionally installed, and email them the invoice to the email they gave me. Moments later, I get a confirmation email that my invoice was received and I should expect my check within 21 business days. Ok, no problem.

    This was Feb. 7, 2022. 21 business days pass and no surprise, surprise, no check. I call the company, am assured that they will look into what the delay is and if I could just be patient for another couple of days. Ok, no problem. A few more days later, still no check. I call again and ask to speak to a supervisor. Their supervisors always seem to be out to lunch. Anyway, I get told that they will escalate the issue and a supervisor will call me 24-48 hours later as per their protocol. So a week later (no call from a supervisor and no check), and I call back. That brings us to this Monday. The rep keeps telling me that they will escalate the issue, but finally does connect me to a supervisor, who tells me that she will also look into what the issue is and get back to me as soon as possible.

    She gave me the number to her direct line. Ok, we hang up. She calls back a couple of minutes later saying that they've already issued the checks last year and in January. I bought the house in October so last year was for previous owners. In January, the check was for my oven (which was also a long project to get reimbursed). I explained to her that this was for a dishwasher and invoice was only sent Feb 7 so how could they have reimbursed me for it in January? Anyway, don't hear back from her yesterday. Called her back on her direct line today, left a message and no call back. Their business is fraud!!!

    We have had American Home Shield for several years, but will not be renewing our contract. The few times we have had to ask for a repair, we are left in the dark for 6-8 weeks without fail. AHS contracts with the worst, lowest-rated service companies in the region. Twice we were left with air conditioning in Florida over June and July for 6-8 weeks. Twice! The service tech then told us they could have gotten the part in less than a week, but they must get the part from AHS who send to use the lowest-rated suppliers as well. The part through them took over a month to arrive both times.

    My most recent debacle began 01/31/22. We asked for a tech to repair our dishwasher. He came out a week later, ordered a part, and said it would arrive in a few days and he would be in touch. That was the last I heard from him. I have left several, very polite, messages asking for a status update that have not been returned. I spoke to him twice in person and he denied the part had arrived and promised to look into it when he got back to the office. Apparently HE is the entire company. There is no office to call, no service department, and no receptionist.

    After that, all my calls went straight to voice mail. I called AHS 7 times and received the same responses word for word every time. As usual, they say sorry and promise to call or email an update which is a lie because the communication never happens. Today after demanding to speak with someone, ANYONE, who could help me resolve the problem and fix my dishwasher, I was escalated to a supervisor who called the tech and lo and behold, he answered their call.

    They then come back in the line, tell me the tech has had the part since FEB 17th!!! And he'll be at my house Wednesday between 1-5. Not once did the cs rep ask me first if I had to work that day, or if it was a good time or day for me. AHS is very fast to take your money, and very, very slow to do anything after that. They consistently use the lowest-rated service providers and will absolutely not keep you informed on any part of the process. You will receive absolutely nothing more than an insincere apology from who couldn't care less. Ask the reps are hard to understand and one rep even had a rooster crowing outside their window. -1/10 would not recommend.

    I was without a fridge for almost two months. GE came one time and it was supposed to be fixed but they didn't fix it. They ordered some parts and when they showed up, they changed the compressor and the coil. They were there for about four hours and put some kind of air to test it and all the lines in the inside were broken or damaged. So they said it was not fixable. But why didn't they check that before? I was waiting for two months without a fridge, and then they told me it was not fixable.

    GE said they were gonna talk to American Home Shield and let them know that it was not fixable. They did that and American Home Shield said they were gonna send money. I have to send the receipt and they will send a check. I already sent the receipt for the fridge that I bought. I told them that my fridge was more expensive. They gave me 1,924 but I paid more for my fridge. But they said that was the only money they could give me.

    I was not happy with American Home Shield. When I talked to customer service, they didn't do anything. Every time I called, there was a different person that I talked to. I don't think they do notes every time that we call. So I'm really mad with them. I'm fixing to call American Home Shield and cancel my service because I haven't gotten my check yet.

    I don't like how long it takes for anything to get repaired. When something breaks down, it's always 24 to 48 hours before someone calls me, and they have to schedule the appointment based on their availability. So if my furnace goes out in the dead of winter and it's below zero and I can't get somebody to come out for three or four days, that's ridiculous. And that happens.

    What happened was the contractor has to talk to the warranty company before I can make any moves. They came out four times because my sump pump went out. The first time, it was just to repair something but not the pump itself. So the next morning, my basement flooded. They came out again and did something similar. Whatever it was, they didn't replace the sump pump. So the third day, my basement flooded again. I have damaged furniture. Before they came out the third time, it knocked my water heater out. So the guy who came out for my water heater, actually worked for the same company. He looked at the sump pump and said, "The sump pump is not right. It's not working right." I said, "Well, you guys put it in." His response was, "No, we couldn't put it in because it's not working right."

    I called the company. Come to find out, they did put it in. So he came back out that day to replace the pump. But by that time, I had extra repairs and extra money had to come out, because now the water heater is gone because the flood knocked out the water heater, and I got damaged doors that I have to replace. So, it wasn't the greatest experience. They know what they were doing, but they have to go through the home warranty before they could actually replace an item.

    It should depend on the item whether or not the sense of urgency comes in. Because if something like that goes out and you're basically flooding, it's gonna damage something in the house. So instead of putting a Band-Aid on it, replace the sump pump or the furnace. Whatever big appliance need replacing or goes down should be replaced immediately. I can see it when my microwave goes out, then I'm not worried about the contractor coming out three or four days later, or even my fridge at that point. But when something like the furnace or the sump pump goes out, it can further damage the house. AHS will take care of it. It might not be in a timely fashion. And you just hope it doesn't damage anything else in the house. But their sense of urgency is not there when something breaks down.

    I had an issue with my freezer where the ice maker seemed to have gone a bit crazy, and the freezer was frozen shut. I requested service through American Home Shield's website, which was pretty user-friendly, then I got a text. I also got an email notifying me of the name of the company that was coming out and their contact information. The repair man called me, and we talked through the problem. It was great. He told me when he would be able to arrive and that I would be getting texts prior to his arrival, which was a new feature. It was great because now I could see how close he was, like Amazon, and make sure the dog was out in the backyard. I liked that feature. The repair man gave me a tutorial on what to watch out for with the ice maker, so everything's fine.

    I have a lot of original big ticket items, and I keep thinking that those are gonna croak someday because of their age. That is why I continue to use pay for the home warranty. I would tell friends if they are in the same situation I am that I would definitely think about getting the warranty for those original big ticket items in particular.

    Up until right now, American Home Shield has been pretty good. On the 19th, I called in and requested service for our refrigerator, and I didn't hear back. I called on Saturday and spoke to someone, and they couldn't reach the company which was called Next. AHS emailed them and suggested that I could call them, which I've done. I haven't done it yet today, but I still have not heard anything back. American Home Shield sent an email saying the contract was given to this company, and if I wanted to contact them myself, then that would be okay. I wasn't happy about that

    I asked if they could do anything else with somebody else. The rep said they could cancel my request and do a new one. I said, "Well, that would put me further behind." The issue is the freezer portion of our refrigerator. The refrigerator is having problems too, but all the food in the freezer and the top few shelves have defrosted, so we're losing food that we would otherwise be eating. If I would get some service from the refrigerator repair person, I would be really happy.

    American Home Shield usually works. I usually hear back the day that I called, which this time I didn't. Possibly, that's because I gave them my email address. I didn't really want to, because I don't check the email constantly like some people do. I'm not sitting at the computer, because I don't like it. It would be good if they would follow up with a phone call as well as put it on email, because not everybody does email or watches it on a regular basis. In the past, they would do that. That helped a lot, because if I wanted to call the person, they'd usually give me the telephone number too, which this time, I don't believe they did.
