    My AC was producing air but it wasn't as cold. We'd have it set at 69 degrees and it was like 85. So, the techs had to put Freon in it. And now, it's working great. I went over the phone with American Home Shield to have them get a contractor out. They handled it. I did the claim on the weekend and I did get a response within half an hour. A/C Pros had called to say they were the ones assigned, but they wouldn't be able to come until Monday. It was all right. I didn't expect emergency thing. So, they came Monday right at the time slot. They were very efficient. They were out of here within an hour and a half.

    I had to pay for the Freon and I paid $100 for the service call. Most of the time, I don't have to pay anything. So, if there's any mechanical, if something needs to be replaced or not, then they will replace it. It doesn't cost me anything. But being the Freon, that wasn't free. Home Shield gives $10 off per Freon container. So, it was really 77. I got four of those. So, it's $308 for that. My unit is 14 years old. So, the fact that they added the Freon and that took care of it was amazing. I've been telling people I have American Home Shield. I'm very pleased with it.

    The pipes were leaking and the tech fixed them. AHS could do better about following up with me about service though. I had an issue with the company before this and it took almost six months. That's when AHS sent out these new techs who came out the next day. This warranty has saved us a lot of money, moving into our home. AHS had to replace some items. The customer service is okay. They get the job done.

    Recently, I had some outlets that weren't working and I couldn't figure it out. Beacon Hill Electric came out and replaced some and told me exactly what was wrong. I had a breaker and I didn't know where it was. He showed me where that was. The other one was I didn't have the main power on one of the main breakers that fed the other breakers, and he showed me what he meant by that. The service provided was excellent. I couldn't be more pleased with AHS too. This is the second time that I've called AHS and both times, they've sent someone out as soon as they could. Both of the contractors that came talked to me and they just didn't fix the problem, they told me what the problem was and how to fix it. They were great.

    The last time we had American Home Shield, it was kind of a nightmare. From one of the past times that we've had in our house currently, there seems to be a breakdown in communication between them and the contractors. We had Myers come out and do the air conditioner. We've dealt with them before and they're not easy to deal with. We had to track down the part that when I called them, they said it was in the warehouse sitting around. I said, “It’s Alabama weather. It's 100 degrees. Please get that installed. Why is it just sitting there?” They blamed American Home Shield and American Home Shield was saying it was Myers. We finally got that figured out and a guy that did come out and warrantied it for 30 days.

    We have had American Home Shield in a different house and we had to deal with Myers there as well. Either they're lazy or don't want to answer the phone or don't even like to work with American Home Shield. It's a little frustrating because Myers is kind of annoying. On another claim, we had to order a part. It was a glass stovetop and it cracked. You can track the FedEx part whenever it's being delivered or whatnot. It was apparently delivered to the people that were supposed to come out to fix it and it was just sitting there too. But we've had a contractor for the garage door and they came out the same day. That got fixed immediately.

    When I first called in the claim for the air conditioning unit, the initial people that were supposed to come down never came. They never answered my phone calls or text. I was unhappy at that point. I called American Home Shield and said, “I don't know what to do here. I can't get through to them. It's been over a week and they haven't received my calls or called me back.” Once they switched to this other guy, he came in a day or two. I was happy to have somebody there. He was very responsive. By the time he arrived, the AC unit was working but I didn't want to cancel the claim because I thought there might still be an issue. I paid for the service and had him look at it. But from what he looked at, he couldn't see what was the problem. He said if the unit stopped working again, to give him a call.

    The tech from Kenneth Buggay Mechanical came out when the AC wasn't working. He was knowledgeable and he fixed it. I was worried that we would have to wait a while for someone to come and fix it but AHS tried very hard to get someone here as quickly as possible. It's a good investment. The $600 and some odd for the insurance is not too inexpensive and in the long run, if you have a couple of calls, you get that money back.

    Submitting a claim is kind of hard sometimes when the reps are trying to hone in on the issue. I get that they have to determine if it was going to be covered or not so it has to be somewhat specific but it's hard when you don't know what you're speaking about. But I know it's necessary. Other than that, everything is very good. I'm very happy with the American Home Shield service and the contractors that we've had come here. The guy who came here and worked on the sink area was very knowledgeable and very personable. Also, AHS really comes in handy. Our water heater went out one time. It was a nightmare but it was made easier because we had them.

    My AC was blowing but the air wasn't cool. The tech was very professional and the performance of the unit has been excellent since he came. I don't even have to turn it down as low to keep it cool. However I paid the home warranty, my monthly fee and $100 to get the tech to come out with some type of charge. Then, he charged me $375 from the contractor. I told AHS today that if I got to pay all of that, I might as well not have a home warranty.

    We've had to call American Home Shield a couple of times. For the first contractor they were gonna send out when we had the very first issue, I went looking on the internet to see them and they had a very bad review. I called American Home Shield back and told them not to send that contractor out here. It took a little while to get the second person but I'm not going to have somebody that's rated a 1 on the internet come in here.

    When we had an issue with two toilets, a contractor had to come back three times for one of the toilets but we only got charged once. They had to order one of the parts and get another part in too. There was also a leak in the kitchen and I need to call American Home Shield back and hopefully not get the contractor on another service call. The contractor never came back for it. But other than that, American Home Shield has been fine. It's a little bit of peace of mind in knowing that you're only going to get charged one flat fee regardless (except when they're doing freon). One of their contractors just added freon to one of the ACs.

    The air conditioner was not blowing air and the contractor came on the day and time they said they were gonna come. They were early and they fixed what needed to be fixed. My experience with American Home Shield was always good. But I had another claim for my refrigerator and now, I have been waiting for three months to get my refrigerator repaired. I was annoyed by that. At first, they said that they had to order the parts. The parts came in and I took off from work and waited for Sears the whole day to come and fix it. They never even showed up or gave me a call to see why they weren’t going to show up. I got in touch with them and they said that if the person didn't come back a certain time, they weren't gonna come at all. So now, they’re supposed to come back.

    I was gonna call them tomorrow because they're supposed to come out on the 3rd to repair my refrigerator and I don't want what happened the last time to happen again. I told American Home Shield that I didn’t want the contractor to come back. I wanted them to send somebody else altogether different but I said that I'm gonna see what's going to happen. I thought AHS would benefit me because I’m single and I have a home, and it would help me with the cost.

    When you call American Home Shield, the wait on the telephone is a long time. I also had a bad experience with them. I called for when I wanted an electrician. My nerves were shot and I thought of canceling them as soon as I got the chance. I called and they connected me with somebody overseas. The woman had no fricking clue what she was talking about. She hooked me up with an electrician from Monterey down south. I told her, "This is far away. You need to have someone local. I need someone to come." She hung up on me. I was so mad.

    I had a toilet issue and called again. I thought of giving them another chance since I've been paying $50 a month. With the toilet, it worked out great. Two days later, I had a call from KAL Construction. Their repairman, Joe, came and changed the whole mechanism inside the toilet. That's been working great so right now, I feel good about American Home Shield. Budget Electric also came out to fix a fan that was making a lot of noise. The switch needed to be changed. The chain was broken and an electrician had to attach a new chain that I bought. I had gotten a switch so he put a new switch in the wall.

    When I have to call American Home Shield and the call goes to someplace overseas with a bunch of people that can't speak correctly, I'm very disappointed. I can't speak to a person in the United States that can actually speak. If I get too frustrated, I'll end up canceling the whole thing because I do not like to repeat myself. And if I can't understand what somebody's saying, I don't know what's going on.

    There were two incidents since I started the service. The two times that I requested to get a supervisor, the first time, it took me two weeks. The second time, I never got a call from the supervisor. AHS also sent me a really young service tech to check out the problems I was having with the dishwasher. I kept telling him what was wrong and it was like he wasn't listening to me. I even recorded the sounds that that old dishwasher was making because he kept making excuses about not having it repaired and that he had to hear the sound when he was there. So, it took me three months to get a brand-new dishwasher. I had to waste my time taking time off from work for the young guy to keep showing up again. I had to take three times off for him to not help me here with the situation. Other than that, the contractor who came recently was very thorough and polite.

    I had plumbing come out because my garbage disposal went. I had a leak in my sink also. What they did was they fixed my garbage disposal and the sink. I had some other issues too. When I did make the call to the customer service back then, they asked me if I did have any more issues. I was like, “Yeah, I do. But I don't know if it's under warranty.” I've had the warranty for about six weeks. The issue was my sink upstairs. The stopper wouldn't go down. Then I had them check a bathroom, and that was okay. They checked my shower stall. All the water was not coming out of the shower stall, but it was coming down the bottom. Then the basement sink had a leak. It took the service people a couple times to come out here to confirm the leak in the basement. I had the water turned off because it was dripping when I even turn it. They had to turn it off from the bottom.

    The service people were wonderful. When they finally fixed everything, it took about three weeks, coming back and forth several times. They were very professional. They did a good job. I didn't have any problems at all but they were telling me, “Yeah, if you did have those other problems, don't anybody mess with them because it’ll void your warranty.” I didn't know. I just happened to have some other issues that I had pending myself and I said, “Well, I'll just get somebody to look at it.” But they were under warranty.

    I filed the claim with AHS. The technician came. I explained to him that when I called in with American Shield, that they had done a video chat with me, so I was able to show them what was going on with the washer. So when I asked him, “Did you get a chance to watch the video?” The technician said, “No. We didn't get any video.” I said, “Okay. I'll just show you what's wrong with the washer.”

    I don't know if that was a mix-up on someone's part, because I went through the whole video chat with the call representative. Just to make sure that it all gets passed off to the technicians, that would be great. Because I could have saved time. He could have maybe watched the video and said, “I already know what that is.” And then the part could have already been ordered or at least some days of waiting for the delivery could have been shaved off. But everything had been fluid and as expedient as could be expected when I submitted a claim.

    The tech came and opened the washer door, checked the drum, because that's the issue I'm having with the washer is that when you put it on a spin cycle or even when you start a load, it starts making weird noises. Sometimes with the actual cycle, the drum won't spin all the way. Then if it does, it's creating all types of noise, havoc and it doesn't run well.

    He was checking in, rotating and said, “It seems like your drum roll is damaged. We're gonna have to have someone come out and fix it.” Then he started to explain that it's a two-person job and that they only had one technician available - him. So he was gonna have to try to contact another company that has two technicians to have them come out and do the repairs. I asked him, “How long is this going to take generally?” He said, “It's usually a day, roughly about two to three hours.” He then said he was also going to place an order for the specific part. He said it might take five to seven business days. I was just going to have a while before I was going to hear back about setting up a schedule. But he seemed knowledgeable and he explained how it was, what would be required and how long it would take.

    AHS's website could have comment section so I can say why I'm requesting service and the contractor would know exactly what he's going to do when he comes in. I was requesting an AC tune-up and there's not a clear option for that one. Originally, the contractor thought it was an AC repair because that's the only option AHS has on their website. Other than that, the tech came as scheduled and he was really professional. He did his work and gave me some options and recommendations. The whole experience was really good.

    I did the claim online to American Home Shield and it was very simple to use. It asked me what type of refrigerator and icemaker, and I had the model number so, I filled all that in. Then, Pro Appliance, the contractor, called and they asked if it was an indoor icemaker. I said yes and they asked to schedule a video initially, to see if they could troubleshoot it before they come out so they would know what part to come out with. They had me run a diagnostic. There was a switch that I flipped that would start the cycle and it started leaking water everywhere. The repair guy said I needed a new icemaker. It would be three to five days to order the part and they sent me a text message that they were scheduled to come out between 12:00 and 3:00 on such and such day. It said, “Type Accept to agree,” and I did. And they were here at 1 o'clock and they were in and out within 20 minutes. Since then, the icemaker has been working fine.

    The tech that came out for my AC was very helpful and knowledgeable. I asked questions and he was very upfront with me. I was asking him did he think I needed to replace the unit because I liked the work that he did and did he think it was time for me to replace the unit. He just told me from what he saw, it was just this component and not the entire unit. So he didn't think that that was a road that I needed to go down just yet. But if it was, he would be more than happy for his company to do the work. He was very professional, but at the same time, very friendly to talk to. A lot of times, technicians come out and it's like, “Why are you asking questions? Leave me alone. I'm just here to work.” But that definitely wasn't the case.

    The only thing that sucks about the experience was the coordination process could be quicker. I understand that everyone doesn't work on the weekend. But I don't know if there is a way to fix it from an overhead and a financial standpoint on American Home Shield’s end, maybe in some situations, depending on how dire the situation is, for somebody to come in on weekend standby, and if the customer is willing to pay that additional service fee for the weekend service. Because sometimes things can't wait until Monday.

    I had refrigerator problems since June 16th. So, I called American Home Shield for service. They sent Sears out to work on the refrigerator. The guy said it was fixed. I went to work that afternoon and when I came home, the refrigerator’s leaking water. So I spent the entire next week calling American Home Shield and calling Sears. It took about 45 minutes for each company to even get somebody on the phone. Then when I did, they were not helpful. They kept rerouting me to other people]. It was a blame game. We called Sears, so Sears called American Home Shield]. I couldn't get anybody on the phone. I probably spent 10 hours on the phone just trying to get Sears to come back out. So a week into it, I broke down and cry. I called my real estate agent and said, “Do you have an inside rep for American Home Shield? Because I can't do this anymore.”

    She put me in contact with her inside rep who put me in contact with a customer service specialist at American Home Shield who has been trying to help me. They initially said, “Okay, forget Sears. We're sending another company out,” which they did a week ago. The day the new company was supposed to show up, they didn't call and they missed their appointment time. I had a phone number for the company. I called them all day long but couldn’t get ahold of anybody.

    My appointment was between 11:00 and 1:00. At 3:30, I finally left and went to work. About 10 minutes to 4:00, they called me and said they were on their way. I had already left for work so my adult son was there. I said, “Fine, let them come look at it.” The second round of technicians did the exact same thing that Sears did. They said it was fixed. I called them back. I said, “It's not gonna be fixed. This is exactly what we did with the last company.” The guy said, “Give it a few hours.” Nobody wants to listen to me. So, I called the technician back last Friday morning and said it's still leaking water. I've spent the entire week waiting for somebody to do something. The American Home Shield’s new customer rep that has been calling and emailing me is not getting anywhere. I'm not getting anywhere. I have no answers, and I have a broken refrigerator.

    My plumbing issue was fixed. It was like a comedy of errors. I had an AC problem, too. First, it was the refrigerator, and that just never stopped. Then, we went away for the weekend. I had an AC go out, and I had a water leak from a heater. So, we had an AC company come out. They were super nice, came right out and fixed it. It was the same thing with the plumbers. Both companies were here in less than 10 minutes. They were super nice and super fast. I was very happy with that. It’s my $8,000 refrigerator that doesn't work that's bothering me because it’s spewing water everywhere. I'm worried it's gonna damage the floor if I don't have towels out. And I can't get anybody to come out and look at it again.

    Overall, I've never had a good experience with any of the home warranty companies, especially American Home Shield. I would never get them for my customers. I would never recommend them for my customers. I myself have tried to use them on and off for the last 20 years, and it's never worked out. It's never been worth the money. They're just too big of a company. There's no accountability. There's no way to get the same person back on the phone. Then after waiting 45 minutes just to talk to a representative from American Home Shield, they didn't speak English. You could very well tell they were in a different country. They didn't care. They hung up on me because I said, “I'm not getting off the phone until we resolve this.”

    The unit was blowing air but the air that it was blowing out was not particularly cold so we made the claim to American Home Shield. We have had A & C Heating & Cooling come out for a furnace issue on our home, and we happened to particularly like their service. There are multiple contractors in our area that American Home Shield contracts with and when we specifically requested A & C Heating & Cooling, American Home Shield assigned them to us. It was amazing to me that they would do that rather than just taking the next available contractor on an assigned basis.

    A & C Heating & Cooling did tell us that they were a little bit backed up and it was going to take them a while to get to our home. But we were willing to wait because we like them so much. We got very good communication and the expectations were set properly. When they came out, they diagnosed the issue as being low on refrigerant. It looked like we might have had a refrigerant leak. They explained to us that the way that American Home Shield works is before replacing any components in the system, A & C Heating & Cooling has to refill the refrigerant then put in like a leak stop type of material. Then they would check it again after a certain period of time to see if the leak stopped. If it did, then the claim is taken care of. If it didn't, then we need to pursue with another appointment saying, "The leak stop didn't fix it. We need to diagnose the leak and maybe replace a component in the system.” It was properly executed and we couldn't have been happier with the handling of the claim.

    Every year we shop around for home warranties when it's time to renew with American Home Shield, and we have found other companies that are slightly less expensive than them. We tend to be a little on the high side from a price standpoint. But the premium is totally worth the service that we get. We never get the runaround. We never feel like we thought something should be covered and it wasn't covered or we get bad customer service or people are unprofessional. We like dealing with American Home Shield so we continue to purchase the coverage. This is our third year in a row with them.

    Once somebody showed up here, everything was wonderful. But with the first person that AHS assigned the thing to, I waited a week and didn't even get a phone call. So I called AHS back and they sent somebody else. The contractor said it would take two or three days before they could get here, but at least they called and told me that. Then they fixed the issue. Two weeks later, the guy that AHS assigned it to the first time decided to call to see if I needed any help. It was five weeks after the job was first assigned to him. Despite that, American Home Shield was very good and the people that were eventually assigned to do the job took very good care of me and were very polite.

    Other than that, it's a pain in the rear to submit a service request with AHS. They're using a very old automated system and you only have a couple of choices. And if your choice isn't there, you have to guess at something that somebody will respond to, or else you have to call the phone number for canceling service to talk to a human being. But, I'd tell my friends that signing up with AHS is a very good thing to do. When I got my warranty, I talked to my real estate agent and she was the one that recommended AHS to me.

I just said AC, and they went ahead and schedule whoever the company for the repair. They just told me I'll be contacted. They didn't let me tell the company what the symptoms were. I got an email telling me the company name, the contractor, and then they will contact me. That's it.

    The guy that came explained to me what was going on. I told him my AC has a clunk noise and it happens during the evening when I drop the temperature a bit. I don't want anything to happen and then I'm stuck in the heat. He went outside. He told me he couldn't hear anything at that time. Then I never dropped the temperature while he was here. He just saw the concern that the AC wasn't turning on and that was fixed by replacing the switch. But I still can hear the clunk at night. There has to be somebody that comes at night.

    I would recommend AHS, but there's one thing that I don't agree with it. I've had to repair my AC before, where the technician charged me for nine pounds of Freon which was almost $700. I don't like that they only cover the first $10 per pound. That's something that I would like them to work on to make it a little bit easy on people like us to be able to afford that.

    I put in a claim to Home Shield for both our AC units. One is for the downstairs and the other one is for upstairs. The guy from Advanced Air came out. He came into the living room, checked the downstairs unit and said that it was working okay. But he had to replace the thermostat. Then he went to check the upstairs unit, and he said it was working fine. But he never came upstairs to check the thermostat. He told me to just put it on to 59, make it really low, and he said that it was working. But the next day, it was still hot upstairs that night, and the thermostat was reading 78 degrees. When I called back, I must have been on the phone with them for a total of five hours, trying to get Home Shield to send the guy back to fix the upstairs unit.

    We've been calling Home Shield once a year for the past six years to check or fix our air conditioning. They fixed it but they've just been putting a band-aid over it. When I made the appointment for Advanced Air to come back out, Home Shield put it in and they said they'd be contacting me within 48 hours to come back and check the upstairs. I called back four days later because I haven't heard from them. I left Home Shield messages and I called back to get ahold of them. Home Shield told me that they canceled the appointment because they said that wasn't part of the request to check the upstairs thermostat. But they didn't call to tell me the appointment was canceled.

    When you call Home Shield, you're on the phone for at least two hours. I was on the phone for five hours. I was so upset. I'm at work, and I'm getting frustrated because they wouldn't connect me to a supervisor. Why was I going to pay an extra $100 for them to come back out again? They should have fixed it the first time. Finally, they connected me to a supervisor after five hours of being on hold, and getting disconnected, and being really frustrated. The supervisor at Home Shield was amazing. She said, “I totally understand. Don't worry, I'm going to send Comfort Pros out. You don't have to pay for it. Let them come out and look at it.” But they didn't come out for a week. I thought we had a contract with Home Shield that someone has to come out within 24 to 48 hours.

    We went a whole other week without air conditioning. Comfort Pros came out a week later after I put a request in, but they were fine. The tech said the upstairs system has a broken coil, so they can't fix it right then. So Advanced Air didn't even look at it and we still have no air conditioning as of right now because it's been a whole process. To say that I'm upset with Home Shield and all of their people is an understatement. It’s like 95 degrees. I want to cancel Home Shield and I want to get my money back this year because they've done nothing. Now, I have to call a new company to come out replace both ACs. American Home Shield is a scam.

    There was a fan switch that was not working and I had a light switched where one of the three-way switches was clicking and buzzing. I did the fan claim online first and then followed up with a phone call. While I was waiting to get that scheduled, the light switch went bad.

    I had a ground fault receptacle that kept faulting and I couldn't figure out what was going on. I paid American Home Shield the $75 to make the house call. I had no other out-of-pocket. A guy came out, looked at the issue, and reset it. Come to find out that when the rain comes, there was moisture getting into a receptacle that I didn't even know about. That was causing the ground fault to trip. The guy got it all straightened out for me and got it fixed. It works fine now. I was pleased with how it came out. I just wish that I had known I had that other receptacle. I probably wouldn't even call the guy. I'd probably just put a new one in there.

    I had two other claims in the past three years that we've had the service with American Home Shield. We had a dishwasher issue and technicians fixed that. There was also something else in the kitchen that wasn't quite right and that was fixed too. I've always been satisfied with American Hoem Shield and I have peace of mind. They put you in touch with people who are gonna be held accountable. You don't have to keep calling to get them to come and do the job.

    The people that American Home Shield has sent out have been great except for one time last year. It had to do with the air conditioning. It just didn't work out because the first time they came out, they didn't fix it, so they had to come out again. It was during the summer, so it was inconvenient. Then, American Home Shield sent somebody else out and they fixed it. So, it was fine.

    Recently on an appliance, a guy from Sears came and he was good. I liked the guy. He was a fisherman and he was a nice guy. He fixed our problem and it appeared that the refrigerator we have has issues that are generic to the brand and they keep cropping up. So, he told us what we needed to do to try to resolve the issue going forward. So, I was very satisfied with that. If somebody is interested in having a warranty, American Home Shield does a good job. We're satisfied with the product.

All County was great. He’s sent out before and he's always solved our problems. He was at my house before I was notified that he was assigned. I put in the claim late one evening, and he texted me the next morning at 7:45 and asked if he could be here at 8:00. So, he was out before I was alerted that he was assigned. I talked to him and I watched him do this work. A screw had come loose inside the ceiling fan and the blades were loose. He said it wasn't the typical fan where you could just loosen it and pull it down a little bit and work on it. He had to actually take it completely off the base. The repair helped a lot. It's been unusually hot up here and we have no air conditioning. So now, the fan works.

    Last year, I had the AC unit replaced. A company came out and they just jury-rigged the job up and put a whole new unit in. They told me I needed $500 to pay for the modification. But I came to find out that they did absolutely no modifications. They used a lot of the old parts, like the condenser coil, which was 17 years old. They did illegal modifications because they were running new refrigerant and half the system is the old system. So American Home Shield sent out TNT to work on the AC. It's still not fully done. I've talked to TNT and they told me that I needed to have them go back out there, so I've got to get on the American Home Shield website and get that taken care of.

    We went from November of last year till February of this year with no heater in the same property. American Home Shield was trying to send the first company who did the AC job. This company kept screwing around. Finally, I had to tell American Home Shield that I didn't want them back. So TNT came out and they had the heater going on the first visit. That should have been done the first time, instead of waiting four months. American Home Shield gave me no discount on my policy. They gave me nothing to compensate for being out of a heater for four months, in the middle of winter with zero-degree weather. I had to buy heaters and firewood. I also had water pipes freeze up and bust. It was insane. I was gonna drop American Home Shield then, but I didn't. Then I dealt with the AC issue that, once again, would have never happened had the first company installed the correct stuff at the time and did the entire job.

    I was completely satisfied with TNT. However, I'm not satisfied with American Home Shield. They should get their people to stop hiring substandard companies to work for them. The only reason that my heater got fixed was because I had to file the Better Business Bureau claim. Every time you’d call the American Home Shield number, you’d talk to somebody in a foreign country that doesn’t care about what's going on here in the United States.

    This is the fifth week that somebody is supposed to come in here to fix my ductwork and it hasn't happened. I already paid the $100. I already made four calls to American Home Shield to try to get a guy out here. I spoke to the people that were hired to do the work and their guy was going to be here on a Monday. I was out of the country and he never showed up. American Home Shield is supposed to take this up to the next level and nobody has done it.

    Their foreign call centers are pathetic. They are hard to understand and they don't understand the empathy part of it. You have to be very empathetic of people that are having issues with their house because either the AC, water heater, or stove is down. But you can't be empathetic on that side because you don't own any of those things in those foreign countries. It's very hard to understand what's going on on this side of the phone. So far, American Home Shield's service has been pretty crappy. If they can't get to you in a week, good luck.

    That aside, American Home Shield did do a good job on some other stuff. I only used them a couple of times. I get the COVID thing with the parts that we were waiting for. They did a good job of following up with me on the parts. But with the ductwork, I would tell a consumer, "The first two, they did a good job, but this one, they've done such a horrendous job that it just kinda wipes out everything else.”

    We got our dishwasher fixed probably three months after filing the claim and that was all due to Sears plugging it up. They were horrible.

American Home Shield ended up sending Whirlpool out and Whirlpool had Diamond Services do it. They did a great job on our dishwasher. We had an issue with the AC too. There were some debris blocking something that was creating a water. It wasn't doing it right and was making a mess. A contractor got it working and we’re all good.

    When filing a claim, it’s kinda hard to describe what’s going on with your problem, especially an air conditioner. It could be many things and you just kinda go with what you can with the choices that you're given. But we like American Home Shield and we're pretty happy with the overall service.

    I was feeling really great about American Home Shield until recently. I had an issue the other day with my hot water heater and I haven't heard back from them. The plumber that they sent out told me that they likely wouldn't cover the part on my hot water heater. They've been slow to communicate any information with me. The original issue was that there was a thermal coupler that had gone bad on it. I paid my $75 and AHS sent out an electrician. He changed out the part on it but apparently, he didn't hook or tighten something that was supposed to be tightened on the hot water heater. A gas leak developed as a result and I had to call Pacific Gas and Electric who provides my gas service. They sent a technician out and he said that there was a gas leak and he shut it down.

    The electrician came back and said that it was on him but he couldn't relight the pilot because the part that’s supposed to light it had wire on it that was broken. So, he had to light the pilot manually. He said that the pilot needed to be fixed so that this thing could be lit properly at some point. They reached out to see if AHS would cover the pilot. They were told that AHS is not likely to but I'm not sure an official answer was ever passed down. I'm considering replacing the hot water heater myself so I don't have to mess with them anymore. I was feeling positively about the American Home Shield for the first few times we had to use them but I don't feel so great about them anymore with the most recent one.

    With my latest claim, the garbage disposal was leaking. The tech came and put in a new one. The previous things have been a nightmare. If it's anything that costs more than $200, it's your fault. When I went through nine million questions, knowing that at some point in the next couple of years my air conditioner or heating was gonna go out 'cause it's 50 years old, the agent said it's all good until it actually breaks. The contractor reported to American Home Shield that it was broken. It was my fault because it wasn't maintained. Okay, it was 50 years old. I was pretty sure it was maintained. Then I got a letter stating that until I replaced my unit, they won't send me any money. Then, they bend you over and screw you. So, I'm getting less than $1,000 for something they should have completely replaced based on what their contract says and what their agents say.

    My heater also broke. One of the guys they sent out walked over and turned on the gas and did not light the pilot. I looked at him and said he should light that first. He could have blown my entire house and me. Then it says in their contract that they're responsible to put in a matching system. That's a lie. They told me that they could put in a heater that would match my system. Well, they cannot match a 50-year-old system. They should legitimately owe me the $7,000 I just forked out to replace my complete system. They were giving me 900 for my heater portion of it because it was only my heater that went out and it was my fault anyway. They're liars and they're horrible. The people they use are a nightmare.

    I had a leak in the bathroom, and the tech did a great job fixing it. I called the claim in to American Home Shield. It is now a simple process submitting claims. It used to be difficult because I've had to wait in line for two hours. But now, it's really quick. I've been with three other home warranty companies, and AHS seemed to be the best. So, I would recommend going with them. Their coverage is better. I had a hot water heater that went out, and the other company I had wouldn’t cover it. AHS would.

    The AC at my rental property was not cooling that much. The techs checked and they had to add coolant. But that was not covered so I had to pay out of pocket. AHS is really good and their claims process is straightforward. But, the techs were not able to diagnose my dishwasher's issue the first time they came. The third time, they got the diagnosis. It was during the COVID time, so the parts were not available. It took them three weeks to fix the issue.

    American Home Shield's website was very intuitive. Submitting the claim was easy. The contractor was very communicative. The person they sent to swap the locks did a good job. He was sociable too. He treated my house as he would treat his own, which I think was important and sometimes, it's something that doesn't always happen. I would recommend them.

    The technician got right to the problem. He told me exactly what was wrong, what he was going to do and how much it was going to cost. I asked him questions about a replacement and he told me I probably still had two years left on my compressor. He was fast and professional, and I was very impressed. So many of my friends are single women like I am. I tell them, “You don't have to worry about going through the phonebook looking for something. All of these people have been scanned.” I had problems having to have my air conditioner fixed and the contractor told me it would be two weeks. I called up American Home Shield and they said, “We're dropping that person and we'll have someone contact you.” Within an hour, I had another person. That day, the problem was fixed.

    Affordable Comfort and Construction contacted me on a Monday morning. I told them that my air conditioners were leaking water from the ceiling. They came out that same day or the next day and I was at work and my mom stayed at my home. They told her that something was clogged up. They unclogged it and they left. I was thinking that solved the problem from the water dripping but I could still see some water marks in my ceiling. Two or three weeks later, it started that dripping again. I called American Home Shield back on June the 20th or 21st and told them that it ain’t even been a month since Comfort came out the first time and it was back leaking water. They emailed that company. It took them two or three days to respond to me. The guy called and made the appointment for somebody to come out and check my AC unit again.

    The owner came on a Friday after the 21st and told me that the coil can was rusted out and needed to be replaced. He would email American Home Shield all this information and he would call me to set up an initial appointment to come fix it. But I haven't heard from anybody. I even called them and left them a message, and still nothing. I've been away from my home since Thursday night because it was so hot. He told me to turn that AC off because it was leaking water so badly and he didn't want it to mess up my ceiling. I'm not satisfied with this AC company. Evidently, their workers knew it and didn't tell me or notify the owner so he could notify American Home Shield about it. This could have been fixed by now. I called American Home Shield about 11 o'clock this morning and they didn’t have anything from him. They just told me that they would email him again.

    There was an issue in an upstairs toilet where some things cracked inside the bowl part and some of the parts that pertain to flushing. It was kind of squirting water everywhere and the contractor fixed that. The other issue was a kitchen sink problem where the water wasn't coming up through the spigot and they replaced it. But I have to call them back because the spigot’s already dripping. But overall, having a home warranty gives great savings. In this case, I had two issues and it was one call payment. American Home Shield also covers larger things if something happens to my air conditioner or heater, water heater, etc.

    In the bathroom, the new washers didn't work and the whole faucet was deteriorated. Then the aerator of the kitchen sink was broken and it cracked off. It was very weird. I kept putting glue on it and finally, it wouldn't stay on anymore. It was frustrating because every time I'd do dishes, that thing would fly off and it looked so yucky. And when I’d use the dishwasher, all the water would squirt out, so I couldn't use my dishwasher.

    I called AHS and they said the techs would call me, and if they didn't call me that day, for me to call them. But they wound up calling me right away. They were from Lake Plumbing and they were very professional. I was told that the faucet couldn't be repaired and that it had to be replaced. Everything is perfect now and it was really refreshing not getting sprayed in the face every time I turned on my faucet. That was just going on too long. I was also very impressed with their service because I've used companies before with the home warranty and they come in with attitudes or they didn't want to do something. But these people knew what they were doing, and were polite and clean. As a matter of fact, I wanted to call that company and tell them thank you. I just never had the chance to.

    American Home Shield is fine. The actual installation, we've ran into a couple of issues, so wasn't particularly happy with that. When AHS set up the date, they came out. And when they opened up the dishwasher, they discovered that it was damaged. So, had to wait a couple of more weeks before somebody came out, and they scheduled another date. And they said, “We're gonna be here between 3:00 and 6:00.” By 7 o’clock, no one was here. So, we had to call. And they said they had a flat tire. They came back the next day after the flat tire, and they fixed it right in the morning. They were very prompt and professional. They did a great job. So, everything got done. But if you're gonna say 3:00 to 6:00, be there between that.

    American Home Shield was recommended to me years ago. And it has been great for me all of these years. The only issue I've had lately, I've tried to log into my account, and I couldn't. And I've tried calling customer service, they told me I have to call a different number. I called that number, nobody answered. So, I haven't been able to get into my account since I made that initial request for the dishwasher repair. But anytime I speak to somebody, they've been fantastic. But it's just getting somebody for getting into my account which is the only thing that has been frustrating. I would recommend AHS. It's not their fault that the Lowe's installer had their issues. If I can get this one thing cleared up, it's the only blip in 10 years of being with AHS.

    American Home Shield has come highly recommended to us when we started in rental properties because you never know when things are going to break. Usually, the cost of having something fixed is far higher than what you even make annually in a rental property. That's the reason why we have one for our own home and we would recommend to all our friends too.

    The recent claim experience was good. The technician had the part and the problem was fixed the same day. However, I had to go through multiple vendors. Some of them were not available for a couple weeks so I started calling them from the option list. It's easier to talk to somebody versus doing a claim online. Sometimes, it takes multiple days for somebody to even get back to you. If you get a person on the phone, you can say, "Do you have any type of adjustments in your schedule at all that can accommodate?" Ours was an air conditioner. We had over 100-degree temperatures that week so to wait two weeks was not something that was feasible. A couple of days is fine but a two-week waitlist is kind of absurd especially when you're paying a company to have available services.

As soon as we buy one, we'll send a bill to Home Shield to get reimbursed. Aside from that claim, we had quite a few repairs. Home Shield's service has been excellent and I'm very satisfied.

    American Home Shield has been worth it. I have three plans in three different houses. On one of them, I've used it enough of times that it has paid off. It's a good plan to have though it’s a little bit high on a monthly basis. I pay $75 a month for each plan then I pay $100 for each service call. So if I have a contractor come out once a year and I pay $75 a month, it's kind of an expensive call. But it's better than having to come up upfront with it. Recently, I put in a work order for my outlets that weren't working. The guy that came to my house was awesome and I was satisfied. However, when I have to put a claim in, I dread it.

That's the whole bathroom sink. I did it as they stated. They then said that it was not normal wear and tear and that the people that removed the vanity broke the pipe. That was insane. I had the leak before they even came out. American Home Shield had to realize that I couldn't get behind the vanity and damage anything. Dockside said they sent a report. How do I even trust the report that they sent back? If they're saying it’s not a normal wear and tear, what is it?

    American Home Shield has to have a contractor that makes sense because a contractor can write up anything. Dockside wanted the business because they said they could fix the plumbing and they would give me a price that both of us could be happy with. Even if that was the case, they wouldn't get the business. I didn’t like how they came out from the start of it, very disrespectful.

    I asked American Home Shield for a different contractor and they first told me I had to do it within seven days. But I called within seven days and they said that they couldn't send anyone else out there. It was to be another $100 that I didn't even get satisfied with for the first $100.

Finally, I got somebody on the phone that said, "No, they are not in your area so we're going to have to send somebody else out." The thing with American Home Shield is if they can't fix it, they will replace it. They did replace the toilet but it took several calls for them to do that.

    With American Home Shield, once you call and put in a request to have someone come out because you're having an issue, they need to have someone come out, take care of the issue, and take you off their list.

    In the past, we had other claims with American Home Shield and they were great. They save you money in the short term because you pay your deductible and you get your stuff repaired. But it takes them time because if for example, we got a refrigerator that needs repairing and the refrigerator is eight years old, the refrigerator is no longer being sold. So, the parts are out of stock and it takes longer to get those parts.

I also have other medical issues as well as my husband. They have been aware of this since the beginning of the contract. Air conditioning is part of easing the symptoms for both of us. So when our A/C went out a couple of times over the course of the yearly contract, We called for service and every time we had to wait anywhere from 3 up to 5 days before seeing a repair/service provider to come out and fix the problem! Living in Southern Arizona, temperatures can reach up to 115 degrees.

    No 2, when our refrigerator went out, it took one of their repair providers 4 times to get the problem fixed. That’s because he had put the replacement part in backwards, causing us to lose all of the contents inside. Estimate replacement cost: $300.00 plus. Also, now when calling in, your calls are answered by customer service in the Philippines!

The technician also found some other issue with the motor of the dishwasher which I haven't seen. He ordered a part, came back in time, fixed it and didn't make a mess in the house. The third incident I had was an electrical issue. The first company American Home Shield sent was terrible. The guy just came in, did nothing, and left. It was a very difficult two weeks until they were convinced to send a different company. I called the center maybe six times. Every time, I had to explain the issue from scratch to the customer service rep. They kept repeating everything was fine. They still had to give more opportunities to the first technician. I had to resort to Twitter and Facebook and start reaching out to them through that way until they were convinced to send a different company.

    The customer service reps either don't have the will or the decision-making to do pretty much anything. If things go well, everything goes well. But if there is a problem, they cannot solve it. When I call the people, they just pick up the phone. I don't gain anything by explaining to them the problem. They just assign a technician and I still have to talk to the technician.

    AHS is up and down sometimes with what the warranty doesn't cover and certain things concerning the AC. Like if I need Freon, I gotta pay for that. They are nickel and diming and sending people back and forth. They gave me such a great sales pitch but there's a fine line with it that's trickery, just to get my service and telling me you're covering everything. And I'm like, “Well, this would be a benefit for me and my family, that I don't have to worry about overhead if I could pay monthly to get a service done."

    However, the warranty is very disappointing. If my AC is not putting out correctly, AHS tells me that they only pay only up to a couple of dollars of Freon. I'm really looking for other places. I'm paying for service, maintenance, and the home warranty. AHS is the worst. They play on words and I don't like that. There are some things they fix and that I appreciate. But right now, I'm just upset.

    I'm very happy with American Home Shield's service. I called them and told them that the air conditioner was not cooling. They sent out a contractor and he repaired it. I had to wait a day or two for him to come. But he repaired it the day he came. I had a plumbing repair done last year and I was very happy with it. AHS responded and repaired everything.

    Recently, Medallion Plumbing came out and did a great job on my water heater. But when Sears came out for my dishwasher, that was a problem. The first company that American Home Shield went to send out here couldn't come for almost two weeks. I said, “That won't do. Is there anybody sooner?” They said they could send Sears. Before we had American Home Shield, we had Sears and we loved them. We switched because American Home Shield covers more things. I was so excited because no matter what Sears had come out for - my refrigerator, my dryer, my washer, my dishwasher - it's been fine. But boy, was that a disappointment. The lady acted like she didn't know what she was doing and said, “I know how it's a pain to do.”

    Previously, the dishwasher filled up with water and wouldn't drain. A Sears guy came out and he was fabulous. He had to take the hoses undone to find out why it wouldn't drain. He pulled the whole dishwasher out of the hole it was in and disconnected the hoses, drained them into a bucket, and a screw fell out. A screw that holds the dishwasher in place worked its way loose. It got into the lines and wouldn't let the water drain. I told the lady all of this. I told her we needed to know where those screws went. She couldn't just put two screws back in and be good. For one thing, the dishwasher had to be repaired because we couldn't use it. We turned it on and had to put a chair up against it and a TV tray with weights on it so that the thing wouldn't move if we tried to use it to wash dishes. Both screws were out and when you opened the dishwasher, the entire dishwasher came sliding out of its hole.

    I told her that needed to be fixed with screws put back in, but I needed to know why they kept coming out. That shouldn't happen. I've had many dishwashers and that's never happened except with this one. She said, “No, I don't think you can do that.” I told her she had to find out where those screws went because if she would just put two more screws up in there and we didn't know where they went and it blocks in the line and it fills up again and won't drain, I’m gonna have to call American Home Shield and pay another $100 for that when it's the same issue. She said, “I don't know how to look for screws.”

    She went out to her truck for a few minutes then came back in. I asked, “Do you have any way to look up the records from Sears and see what the last guy did?” She said she didn't have any access to that. I told her if she didn't know how to do it, could she contact somebody that could tell her, or the last guy that was here. She said she knew how to do it. I said, “That's all well and good. But I don't wanna pay $100 to have somebody come out again to locate them when it's the same issue.”

    We cannot use the dishwasher until it is secured back into place. She said she didn't have any screws with her and she'd have to order them. My husband went and got a container of screws he had on the garage and brought it to her. There were two screws and she kinda put them back in there. She disconnected the tubes finally to try to look, but she didn't really tip it down and try to dump anything into the bucket. She just disconnected and hooked it right back up. She also seemed irritated. She was sitting on the floor with her back to me. There's a plate you take off on the bottom of the dishwasher and she took that off. I said, "Could they be under there?" She was kind of swinging her head around like I was irritating her. She said, “I don't see them under there. The tubes are clear. I'd be able to see it.” She barely did anything. I paid $100 for her to put two screws in that my husband already had. We just wanted the screws located or my husband could have done that in the first place by himself.

    But I would always highly recommend American Home Shield. I've told my sister and I have my brother do it for his home and his rental property. Just in our family alone, we have four accounts with them. We're real happy with them. They don't know that they're gonna send a worker out here that's gonna act that way that's why I let them know. That could happen no matter who is sent here.

    The plumber that American Home Shield sent to me refused to come to me earlier in the year. When he did show up, he told American Home Shield a line of crap. He said I live on the top of a mountain off of a dirt road and he could barely get to my house. I told American Home Shield to ask their other contractor, the cooler guys, if it was true. Those people have been out here two times to service me and had no problems. I'm in the center of town and I have a paved road out front.

    The service girl that I talked to said she would put in a buyout on my water heater and it would be $595. Since American Home Shield couldn't get me a plumber, I told my plumber to go ahead and get me a new water heater. I paid for that but I was never reimbursed for it. That infuriates me to no end. And each time I call American Home Shield, I have to give my whole life story. I have to give my address, phone number, city, and state to three different people before they ever connect me. And what's the first thing that that person asked me for? The exact same thing that I've told them three different times.

    In the past, I was very satisfied with American Home Shield. However, I am totally dissatisfied with the plumber situation. The company lied to me, telling me they will buy me out on my water heater yet I haven't heard anything nor do I have a check from them. I'm still fighting to get the money that they owe me. My husband has said we are going to find a different company because American Home Shield is ridiculous. I put out well over the money that I should have had to put out and they sent me the same stupid plumber. They also took his word over mine.

    That aside, I had other people come out for my washing machine and my cooler. Both of those people were excellent. It's just that with the cooler, American Home Shield was a little slow in ordering a new one. Because of this, the people who were installing it couldn't do anything until American Home Shield ordered the parts and they waited for the parts to come in. That took a couple of weeks.

    The technicians who have been here did a really good job. They were responsive and quick, so I'm happy. This last experience was the one that caused me to cancel American Home Shield. I'm not pleased with it at all. There are two things that really stand out in my mind. One is May Heating & Air. They told me that my air conditioner's old. It was an air conditioning problem. They said that they needed to replace a coil inside of my air conditioner, and that after that, it's going to need like 9 lbs. of R22, the old-style refrigerant that they no longer make. I had to pay for a big chunk of that out-of-pocket. It was a lot of money.

    I decided to call another HVAC company on my own. They were able to put 2 lbs. in the system and not 9 lbs. May Heating & Air was very misleading. If my only option was dealing with May, it would have cost me several thousand dollars out of pocket. I had it fixed for just a couple of hundred dollars. May told American Home Shield and me that it was gonna be like 9 lbs. of Freon. The thing doesn't even hold 9 lbs. It could hold like five or six. May Heating & Air is very not trustworthy.

    The second thing is I've been always paying on time for the last three years, and the options that American Home Shield gave me to repair my air conditioner were worse. The air conditioner is over 25 years old and needs to be replaced, and I didn't have a good option to do that. They offered $450 toward a $4,000 replacement, which is not reasonable at all. I could have gotten around the vendor situation but the thing that really pushed it over the top for me was the position that American Home Shield took on replacing my air conditioner. I paid something like $2,500 over the three years that I've used them. "And what has my benefit been?" It's been a microwave, the dishwasher, a couple of repairs, and now this air conditioning thing to me is a real negative. I don't think I've gotten the value that I've paid into it. So, I'm not satisfied with the service.

    I cleaned the outside unit, and in doing so, there are the things you pull out that it disconnects everything because it’s 220. And when I put it back in, I didn’t know that it only goes in one way and I had things upside down and it wouldn't start again. The unit wouldn't come on. The inside would blow but not the outside. I didn't know what I had done or if something had gone wrong in the process of me washing it. But the tech went ahead and did that, and did a diagnostic on it while he was here. He made sure that everything was okay, checked the inside unit and the Freon, because he was already here. He provided very good service, was very helpful, and didn't make fun of me which was nice. I was concerned about some foam having come out. He said, “No, don’t worry about it. It's okay. It doesn't matter right there.” And some of these little things. But that was all it was. Everything was okay. He double-checked.

    The stove went out Thanksgiving. The oven element burned. It just disconnected. So, I was gonna have a contractor come out and replace it. Also, the glass cooktop had cracked. They said they had to order it and I said, “Okay.” But they never could get it in. The company that came out at one time was in the house for 10 minutes because the element had actually burned behind the firewall and had clipped together and burned a part in the oven itself. So, I was gonna replace it, but I couldn't get it off. And it was an electrical thing that needs to be checked and nobody would do it. So, I said, “Well, can you at least just come out and fix the element? And I’ll be happy to wait for the glass top. That’s probably a major issue. We still have two burners that work.” It would arc. It had some great fireworks.

    The communication was my biggest problem. I made a total of 20 something calls to them. Because they said the stuff was on order and they promised they would be out in such and such date. We made an appointment. And I called, “Are you gonna be out there?” “Oh, yeah, we're gonna be there. We'll call.” But they never called. I was not a happy camper. And they would call and I would get the same thing, but it was a lot of redundancy. I would check and then they would get the same information and then nothing would happen. I was very disappointed with AHS about that. We couldn’t even turn on the unit, put stuff on that wall, because of the arcing from the electricity. We went out and ate a lot. We would borrow the neighbors' ovens. But we got AHS to buy us a new stove. That was from November all the way through April.

    We got a very nice oven. I went to Lowe’s and got it at a good price. We paid the $400 difference. The oven happened to be bigger than the old one. I had to work on the cabinets. Other than that, AHS has been very good and quick. I messed up the air conditioner on Memorial Day and we didn’t have any air conditioner for that day. I messed it up on Sunday, which was raining and cool, and Monday was a bit warm, but we had ceiling fans and that worked, and then the contractor came out on Tuesday. AHS also did the refrigerator when we had a leak behind it, and they did the dishwasher. We just had the one snafu with the oven.

    I called American Home Shield and told them that I didn't have any AC upstairs. It was blowing hot air. They told me that the contractor should be out probably within the next 24 to 48 hours and gave me the name of the contractor. Some guys came out on that Monday. I found out that I had to pay $1,100 to repair the unit and that the freon that they were using was pretty much discontinued. That freon has been going up steadily year after year.

    I finally got fed up and told American Home Shield to send out somebody so I could think about replacing the system. They sent this young lady out on a Wednesday and looked at the system. She told me what was going on with it. She went over all the things that would be needed. She looked at everything and told me how much the price was. She explained everything that she was going to do as far as putting in a new thermostat, opening some ducts, etc. I wanted to get three quotes so I told her to me look at two more agencies. She told me the earliest that they could get to me was Friday. It was extremely hot. So, I went and I checked the next contractor. They had a really good deal, too. They came out, looked and gave me a price that was $50 more but they could be out on Thursday so I ended up going with them.

    If the homeowner is doing renovations, repairs, etcetera on their own to save from having to make claims, American Home Shield should drop the price of the contract down some. The amount that I paid for this one system to be replaced was 8,000-and-something dollars. It was repairable but the thing was, it was every other year that it was going out. I didn't want the hassle of having to keep going over and over with this AC, especially with the freon going up as high as it did. When I first started off with that freon, it was maybe $65 a pound. That was a lot. But this last time, it was $135 a pound. So, rather than sit there and keep paying for that freon, I just say get rid of it and stop having problems. I understood that they couldn't give me anything off for the old unit. I was concerned, though, that they might want to lower my premium next year or this year.

    When the AC unit stopped working, American Home Shield told me that someone might come out that same day which really surprised me. But they ended up coming the next day which was fine. I was so impressed with how quickly they responded. The technician was on time and took care of what he thought was wrong. He told me that he thought it was one thing then he looked into it and said it was something else. He replaced the converter 'cause it had overheated the night before. However, it's not fixed is all. When I got home for the weekend, I checked into it and turned it on real high to see if my house would cool down, and it never worked.

    When I called American Home Shield today, I wasn't sure whether they were gonna make me pay another $100 for someone to come back out. The last time, they made me pay before they would even take my information. But they didn't charge me for it this time so that was cool. American Home Shield gives me peace of mind. Having something to back up my house so someone can come fix it up since I can't is great. There's a little bit too much recording but overall, it's easy to narrow it down to what I need.

    I've got two AC units and I've had problems with both of them this summer. That was the upstairs unit. And we noticed that we were still getting air, but blowing out cold air. So, we contacted American Home Shield and they sent out Koalafied. They explained that there's a compressor, a coil, and there was this and there's that. It just got to the point where I said, “Okay.” So, we're replacing a lot of this air conditioner. And we also needed to refill the Freon, which would be expensive. Because it was a 20-year-old unit. It was popped back and forth. Finally, I just said, “You know what? I'd rather just pay out-of-pocket to get a new air conditioner,” which we were anticipating. It was going to happen one of these days because the unit is original to the house.

    AHS has been a lot easier to work with than my previous home warranty company. Because I had a horrific claims experience with them, which is why I canceled that policy and I signed up with AHS. Inside the house, I'm fortunate to have a Wolf range. And that was one of the things that I negotiated very carefully in the purchase of a home. Those things are expensive. It's a beautiful range. It's 36 inches, which is bigger than the average range. And it has the four burners, plus, has an infrared grill in the middle. And the oven itself, because it's a bigger range, is also bigger.

    We were having trouble with the range. So, I was like, “Okay, well this is why we have a home warranty.” So, we went ahead and called it in. It became a big issue because I kept making sure, if they were sending technicians, that they had somebody that could work on a Wolf. Because not every appliance repair company can do Wolf and have access to the parts suppliers. I got to the point where I finally had to jump through hoops and contact my own technician because they couldn't find anybody in their network who would work on a Wolf. And then the back and forth on what was going to be covered and what wasn't. And my out-of-pocket was ridiculous, the amount of parts that they refused to cover. It has been explained to me before that when AHS said there's only a certain amount of warranty that will actually get covered. But for the most part, parts, like the mechanics of making the machine work, should be covered.

    It was a fight. It was drama, and I was not treated politely either, which was what made things worse. Because it's like, “I'm paying you guys monthly. I expect to have some level of coverage. Because we put the money in, and you make these repairs. This isn't a computer chip-type appliance. This is a very mechanical appliance. And mechanics can be fixed, and you can replace parts, and it'll last forever, and we won't have to get into the messy business of trying to negotiate for some type of replacement.” And just arguing with me until I was blue in the face. They tried to say, “Well, you've got professional equipment in there and it’s not covered.” And it’s like, “No, this is the gourmet line, which is designed for home use. Don't try to pull one over on me. I'm not dumb. I read the terms of my contract. I am within the terms, you are going to be paying something.” I get not everything. And I understand, too. Not all the labor is going to be covered. But the amount of work that I had to do in that transaction was ridiculous.

    Other than that, AHS makes it easy. I don't have to talk to them much. I go ahead and submit the form online, they reach out to somebody, and they always got back to me quickly. So, however they are structuring their partnerships, they know that when AHS says, “Jump,” they say, “How high?” And I have started talking to my Realtor because she’s helping me with a couple of transactions now. She's a personal friend. She runs a Real Estate investing club that I'm in. And I've told her when she is negotiating for home warranty for her other clients, to not use that other company and to look more closely at AHS. Because if it's going to be a simple negotiating tactic of, “Hey, we're willing to pay. I'll make it up. $500 for home warranty,” use AHS because the buyer of the home is going to be more satisfied than if they use that other company.

    The temperature gauge of the water heater wasn't on and I couldn't get it to function. The water was also scalding and I was unable to adjust it. I submitted it as the controller was not functioning and the process was difficult because there were some things lost in translation with the call center in India. They had processed that as a wall heater, so they sent an electrician out twice for me to look at it until somebody realized the mistake.

    Finally, the technician came and checked it out. Yesterday morning, it was early, he said he ran it to try to get cold water into the tank and to get the temperature to decrease and he was unable to do that so something about the water temperature regulation wasn't working and that seemed to be the most serious problem. He said there was sediment in it too, but that didn't seem to be the primary concern for him. That happens with time with water heaters. But I believe that was the primary concern. I'm waiting to hear back from them to make the appointment.

    I would like to see a more personalized approach to each individual instead of talking to somebody in a call center. I made three different phone calls to the call center in India and every time I called there, I was on hold for at least a half hour before I talked to a person. Then every time I talked to someone, he would look it up and he would have an idea of why I was calling but it was almost like starting at square one. Each one of them had a different approach to solving the problem until finally, the third person realized that it was inputted incorrectly into the computer.

    By the time I called the actual heating and cooling company, they said that they would have to call the warranty company back and tell them this. I hung up and I was literally in tears. I couldn't wait on hold anymore. That was very frustrating. My sister and my dad are also customers of American Home Shield and after telling them this experience, they were both surprised. They said to keep them informed if I have more trouble because they continue their service year after year.

    I had a claim for the refrigerator and I was really pleased with the way that AHS handled it. They have a new system and it looked like it improved a lot from this year and last year. The process was very easy. The only thing is, when I received the part, its label showed a warning about the material. I told the technician and he said that it was identical to what I had and if we didn't use it, I had to wait for another four weeks. So, I just took it and put it in the refrigerator. And it’s working now. The technician was very professional and knowledgeable. He said that they just received the part from AHS and whatever was on the label was not their fault.

    The tech was on time but he had a problem getting in since we’re in a gated community. So, somehow we need to convey that information in the future. Otherwise, the process was fairly easy and we were satisfied. We had a dishwasher issue and that dishwasher would not stop. He showed us how to unlock the dishwasher, which is digital, and he said that he would come back within 30 days if we still have problems. He also showed my husband, on the sink, that the escape valve needs to be positioned a certain way. So we got a little educated on how to use a dishwasher.

    American Home Shield does a great job. I've done several different things with them and I've had good results. When my AC wasn't cooling, they fixed it and they did a great job. So far, it's still working fine. At another time, I had a little trouble with the oven that I purchased. It was supposed to be delivered, installed and the other one taken out. When the delivery guys got here, they said, "Oh, no. We don't do that." That was not so much fun.

    All along, I was told, "Oh, yeah. They come in. They put it in. They take it out." The rep should have let me know if they don't do that. 'Cause I could have had an electrician here the day it was delivered. I had to pay someone to come in to do the job. American Home Shield is supposedly sending me some money to take care of that, which won't be enough because to have someone walk in the door is $100 anyway. Other than that, I'm very pleased. I got the oven. It's working great and looks great.

    People should get a home warranty. It's stupid not to have it, especially on air conditioning units. I realize the cost is about $700 a year, but go try and buy an air conditioner for $700. You can't. Everything's so expensive these days. My ice machine cost $900 to get fixed. I had to pay $100 fee for someone to come here and do it, but $100 is a whole lot better than $900. It's a great deal. You get your money's worth, unless you have all brand new appliances in your house. Also, a home warranty would be great for younger people that are starting out, especially 'cause there are so many old houses.

    AHS is a terrible company who does not honor their contractual obligations and have non-existent customer service. We have kept our warranty with AHS for over 10 years and in that time have used them a handful of times for random repairs. If you need something replaced however be ready to have them not honor their end of the deal.

    Our stove has been broken for over a month. It has been impossible to get accurate information from their agents-they outsource some of their customer service to other countries. We have asked to speak with a supervisor, which they refuse to do-only offer a call back but the supervisors rarely call back at all and if they do it's late at night-like 9:30 pm. They pass the responsibility and the blame onto the local contractor when AHS is the one who drops the ball.

    A month after our stove broke and today I find out we are back at the beginning-AHS claiming the part was never ordered because they were waiting on information from the contractor-I have PROOF this is a lie because I've been in contact directly with the contractor and have proof of the information they provided AHS weeks ago. AHS is refusing to call or email us back to resolve this and so in the meantime, our stove remains un-usable.

    It's unbelievable how badly they treat their customers and the length they are going through to avoid replacing our appliance. Do you think it's reasonable to be without a stove for a month when you have three small children to feed? AHS does and they could care less about you, your family or the fact that you've been a loyal customer for a decade. I have never had such poor customer service, anywhere!

The contractor was supposed to be here earlier but whoever rescheduled it never called me and told me so they came out at a different time than what we had been sitting here for for the time that the email said. But the guys were very good. They were in and out and this time, American Home Shield covered the claim.

They said that they couldn't cover the cost of it, even though I've been paying on everything else. So, I have told a couple of people that they have to be careful in the contractors that they get. It was a rude contractor that came out and he came out twice. He was the one that was telling American Home Shield that it was not normal wear and tear, that it was the weight of the door and the weather that caused that to break.

    The weather is a normal thing. Everything gets worn by that. The American Home Shield person told me it wasn't going to be covered and I had to come out of pocket $475. It took me a while before I contacted American Home Shield again. But I kept them as my warranty because I couldn't let one mess-up affect everything.

    I initially put in a claim for an HVAC since the outside unit stopped working, but when the guys came out, they said that they weren’t allowed to touch it. I didn’t think about it being electrical until I went up the attic and saw what it was. I noticed that two of the units didn’t have power running where I'd normally seen them before. When I opened up the breaker box and looked at it, two wires that were plugged into it had a power surge and had burned out. Had I put the claim in right, I could have got it done a whole lot faster. I had to wait for an electrician to come out because American Home Shield actually closed it out. My wife had to call because a week or so went by and they were supposed to call. Then the guys that came for the HVAC thing were supposed to put the thing in for an electrician to come out. My wife had to call and tell them that nobody reached out to us. The follow up not being done properly is my only issue.

    Then the lady was trying to say something about getting charged again. I figured the $75 would have been for the initial request, and then if it was something that they couldn’t do, it would have just been processed as the same thing going to the electrical. But they waived it, so I was okay with that. The electrician came and changed out the entire box and rethreaded the wires in the fittings to where they were supposed to be. He explained some things to me and he was a good dude.

    Long Lane was dispatched by AHS for two things. For our washer and for our cooktop range. Both were looked at very quickly on the same day. When they came out, they assessed very quickly and it was, “We're gonna replace it.” I said, “Okay.” For the washer, it was identified that the bearings had were worn based on the sound, and after doing some research, I felt comfortable that that was what it is. And based on the contract itself, that would be too much to repair it, versus just putting out the money for a new one.

    But, I had some issues with selecting. They sent a series of selections for me to choose from, which I did not feel were comparable. I understand they don't match color or other amenities, but I have a matching washer dryer. They sit on pedestals. I couldn't get a straight answer in terms of identifying something that wasn't going to look awkward in the space. So we elected to go with the check for the replacement value and that was where it got really confusing both in terms of the contract and in conversation with the representative.

    I was thinking a check was in the mail ‘cause they identified that there was a problem and that they're going to reimburse me for the replacement value for the existing machine. I was waiting for the check, but there was no check. It's on a reimbursement basis. I was thinking, all this time I'm waiting for a check, which they told me would be delayed. But no one ever said, “Okay, you need to go out and buy a new machine and then email us the receipt to this address,” which is apparently a different address, too.

    But initially, when I call, the dispatcher, in terms of setting up the appointment notification when the service person is en route, when to expect them, that is all A plus. But when I have to follow up, that's when we get into, “Okay, what did I sign up for?” When I call for a follow-up, I get someone, and for me, there is a language barrier. I find it hard to understand a lot of times. When I call, I have to give my contract number, the purpose for my call. A representative comes on and they're asking me the same questions. So I'm feeling that I just went through the process of putting that to get this fast to them and now they're asking me to confirm everything all over again down to email, phone number. It's redundant.

    There were three appliances that are all outstanding since May 21. So we're over a month and none of the matters have been resolved. One of the things, which was a different contractor for my doorbell, I followed up the day before yesterday. The customer service was inconsistent. But the person for appliances, as far as the update, was wonderful. I could understand and she offered to assist me.

    I liked the product that I was given through American Home Shield. However, the people that brought the replacement microwave out didn't install it because they don't do that. I've had to go out and hire somebody else to do the install, and I'm still waiting for the check from American Home Shield to pay the installer. American Home Shield was quick in handling the claim. I've always been happy with them for that but the company I originally bought the microwave from in four years, all of a sudden is not making replacement products so I had to get a new one. It doesn't make me happy. That's not their problem but the fact that the company that delivered it doesn't install it is kind of an issue. I now have it sitting on my kitchen counter waiting.

    Overall, having American Home Shield is worth the money that you pay out. It costs money every month and you look at it and say, "Why am I paying for insurance?" Insurance is always money going out and never anything coming in. AHS has come up when I needed things done. So, I appreciate that. It has been a worthwhile expense.

    It was a little bit rough placing a service request for a plumbing issue. I had somebody from another country pick up the phone and I couldn't understand what she was saying. Then, when the plumber came out, he said the issue was not under the warranty. I had to go and get a new toilet and get somebody else to install it for me.

    An AC tech came out that I complained to American Home Shield about and they didn't do anything. They still charged me and the contractor never came back to correct their work. One time, it was an electrical system. The guy looked at the light and said it was the wiring from inside so he couldn't touch it. Again, they charged, they didn't do the job, and they gave me an estimate there on how much it was going to be. I had my people come out and it just took them 10 minutes to do the repair.

    The reps sitting and working are good people. They try to help. It's the contractors that are the problem. AHS sends contractors out to people's homes and they give very minimum to these contractors. And when the subcontractors go to people's homes, they create extra work if they see people who don't know about things that have to be done. They charge and do extra work, which is not even necessary. Then, when people start complaining about what the contractor is doing, they are not listening to us. They are listening to the contractor.

It seems like every time I call, I get a different foreign person and no one can explain themselves thoroughly. It seems like everyone's name is Chris and I don't know how every person has the name Chris. Every time, I've been told something different and I'm still going back and forth with them.

    I put in an appliance request. The service company was very quick and contacted me within the same day that American Home Shield called them. However, they weren't able to get the part so it was not repaired. American Home Shield told me that they were going to issue me a check so I was waiting for a check. Yesterday, I called and the next Chris told me that they were not going to issue me a check, that I need to go out and purchase the appliance first, which actually makes more sense to me, but I don't see why they didn't tell me that in the beginning. Today, I went to look for the appliance and the amount that is going to be given to me is not covering the appliance amount.

    Recently, our air conditioner was not getting cold. The contractor called almost immediately. They did have to come out twice because the tech was thinking that it was just out of Freon. but I called him back that same day and I said, "It's still not getting cold." And so he assessed the situation. I was pleased that he was very responsive. He was also very customer-oriented and sensitive to the fact that there were senior citizens living in the house.

    We signed up for this because you never know when you’re gonna need it, something's gonna go out and something big, for example, your air conditioning or electrical work. It's not for the appliances, because I can just go buy another appliance. We were lucky that we had it because our AC went out this year. We had the service, so it was like, "All right. It's great. Let's call American Home Shield up for the service, for whatever is covered." I followed through the steps. The contractor came out and did their initial step, which is to insert the dye into my system to see if there were any leaks. At that time, I was a Gold member. I had to pay the difference in the refrigerant, so that was 470 bucks just for that, plus the $100 for them to come out. So, it was close to almost $600 for that service. And then at that point, I still didn't know whether that would solve the problem or not, because if the leak gets plugged, it actually clogs up the holes.

    Two weeks later, we were back to square one. There was no air conditioning. It worked great for two weeks, then there was no air condition so it's hot again. So, then what do we do there? So, at that point, I'm like, “I'm not paying another $470 for a refrigerant." So, I bumped my service back. I bumped my package up to the Platinum so the refrigerant was covered, which is great. So, I call the contractor. The contractor come back out. Same contractor comes back out.

    And then at that point, they see that there's a leak in one of the parts inside the inside unit, which is connected to the air condition outside. They said, "I recommend replacing the parts." So, they went back. They sent their diagnostic in to American Home Shield. And at that point, the technician from the HVAC company told me that, "American Home Shield is gonna review this, and they'll tell us what's covered and what you pay out of pocket." I said, "What do I pay out of pocket? What do you mean pay out of pocket?" Because at that point, I don't know that I'm supposed to pay anything out of pocket. So, then they said, "Well, sometimes different warranty companies cover different parts and this, that, and whatnot." "All right. I’ll follow the steps."

    It has gone on for two to three weeks after that initial two weeks. I'm out of air condition for five weeks now. It's 90-some degrees here on the East Coast lately, so it's really hot. And I got kids. I went out and bought a temporary air condition for 500 bucks. So, that's another cost. I got it while this whole process is going on.

    And then I got the quote from the HVAC company telling me that I would be responsible for paying $1,500 to get it fixed. I looked at the quote, and saw exactly what's covered and what's not by American Home Shield. American Home Shield is gonna cover the refrigerant because I'm paying the premium to get the Platinum package. But everything else is not covered. They didn't put the cost for the part. They put zero, but the parts are probably 250 bucks. And then the refrigerant is 410 bucks. And that came up to almost 1,200 bucks. So, I thought, “I'm out another $1,200.”

    I called American Home Shield. They said, "We're still reviewing this and this, that and that." It has been a big runaround. And the bottom line is, at this point, I said, "Okay, I'm just gonna do it.” I have no choice. I gotta get my air condition working. Too much money involved in this thing, so I might as well just get it done. I paid 50% down already, which was 700-something bucks. And I'm just waiting for the parts right now, and then they will schedule to get the work done. But the overall experience with it is, I thought I would get a lot more out of it. If I have to pay this kind of money, I would've just called a contractor on my own and not use American Home Shield.

    Make sure you read or understand the package before you sign up for it. My sister has it. That's why I signed up for it. My other sister has it. And none of them have used it. They only use it for their appliances. Which I have had a home warranty package before when I purchased my house 13 years ago, and I used it. But when I updated everything I had in my house myself, I canceled the program. I know how it works, so I never use it for anything large. Now I know that that's really how it works.

    I understand that there are gonna be limitations on certain things, but I wish they would actually spell that out to you before you sign up for it, that you're only gonna be covered for a part or be covered up to 20%. I wish that people would know that when they do this. And who knows? This might not work. I'm paying $1,500 right now. They might come and replace the part, do whatever work they gotta do. Two weeks later, I might have another issue with the thing. It might end up being a continuous thing here.

    We thought system maintenance checks for each system twice a year for heating and air was part of American Home Shield, but it's not. But in general, it's a fairly simple and very efficient process with them. I am able to do it on my phone. The claim is quickly taken care of. The only time we have an issue with American Home Shield is if there's a problem with the vendor. In that case, there's nobody that you can speak with to address the problem with the vendor. But we only had that once. The vendor didn't come for several weeks and it was our air compressor. If we'd known they were closed, we could have gotten another vendor. But nobody could get ahold of them and they didn't return our calls to let us know that. Once we got the part in, it was still quite a while trying to get ahold of them.

    In that instance, if it's something out of the ordinary and American Home Shield needs to jump in and take care of things, a customer needs somebody that they could physically speak with. They got the ball dropped and it cost us probably $1500 in heating and air costs. But all the other instances with American Home Shield have been good. We've had good vendors and we've been happy.

    Before we went into bed, my wife noticed that the AC wasn't working. I went downstairs in the basement and the compressor of the air conditioner was frozen up. I immediately got on the phone on 23:30 Eastern Time and gave the lady my information. She asked what was wrong with it. I was not 100% sure. I knew what it looked like and I told her. Then she said that was not going to be covered. Well, I'm not an AC and heating specialist. I told her that what I've known is I pay 100 bucks and they get me some professional come out to look at it. She said yes, but she still said it was not gonna be covered. I asked her to let me speak to her supervisor and she did not transfer me. I had to threaten her four times to get her to do that and then I still didn’t get one.

    I told her that was not how she should talk to customers. I was hot. My wife said to just hang up on her. I said no. I was pleasant with her requesting it, and she refused to. Then I told her that she could just shoot the supervisor an email to have him call me the earliest convenience in the next few days. She then said that somebody should give me a call between 9:00 am and 10:00 am. I have not received a phone call since.

    Other than that, the services were great. When they connected me to whoever was going to come out and look at the service, I called the people and they said it was going to be a week or two weeks until they came out. I called American Home Shield back the next day and now this rep was right on it. She did exactly the way they were supposed to do things. She went above and beyond looking at stuff for me instead of me doing all the groundwork to figure out who would come out as soon as possible. The lady on that call took about 10 minutes with me being on hold and she had me somebody who came out within a few hours. That was the kind of service I expected.
