My stovetop was having problems igniting so I submitted a claim with AHS. Elite Pro came out and fixed it. They did a great job.

The motor in the AC has died and needed to be replaced. I had to wait a week for the tech from Bast Heating & Cooling to check on it and regrettably, that part wasn't covered under the warranty. But the guy gave me a good price on it and was able to send one of his guys back that very same day to come and fix the unit. I was pleased with the results and their service.

I bought a home in December and purchased American Home Shield. Six months later my ac froze over so I called them. I paid 100.00 and they dispatched a technician. The technician said the coils need to be cleaned. American Home Shield denied my claim because they said, "the repair is not due to normal wear and tear". I find this to be crazy as they pay for freon and other maintenance issues. From their response I am guessing they would prefer to pay for new coils rather than maintaining the existing coils. I am not sure...but I am not happy with American Home Shield.
Are you still in need of assistance?

I'm going to end my contract with American Home Shield this year. I am not pleased with their service at all. I called them for an air conditioner fix. The first tech that came out appeared very unskilled. The majority of the time when someone comes out, they knock on the door when they're coming in and out and things like that. But there was no communication to me. Then, he told me that the unit needed Freon and that it was $115 per pound and I needed to pay him $315. But he later said I needed four pounds because he had put the nitroglycerin to test the leak and he needed to refill the whole thing. I told him that seemed expensive and he said he needed me to hurry up because he was busy and he had other clients he needed to see. I told him he could go ahead and leave because that's expensive to me and when I googled how much it costs for Freon, the most that cost them is $80.
I called and I left a complaint. This was Saturday, before the three-day weekend. I anticipated that it would be Tuesday before I heard anything from AHS. I called them on Tuesday morning and the young lady who answered the phone said that the contractor had not given them any of the details. They could not get the claim put back in the queue for a second opinion until they knew what the first issue was. I proceeded to explain to them that I had a 75-year-old mother living with me. I'm in Texas and it's a little warm. I said I will just pay another $75. It didn't matter to me. She told me to call back that afternoon. She said she would reach out to the contractor to see if they have given AHS what they need to put the claim back in the queue for a second opinion.
I called back that afternoon and they still didn't have anything. The rep said I had to wait till the following day because there was nothing they could do until they got what the issue was from the original contractor. I waited until the next day and I called them. I called three times that Wednesday. Finally, that Thursday, they said that what they heard was I refused to pay for the Freon. I let them know that it wasn't just a refusal to pay for the Freon. One minute the guy told me that I needed three pounds, then he said I needed four pounds. $500 just seems excessive.
The rep said she would see if a team of people at AHS will agree to allow me to have a second opinion and have someone else come out. I asked her to kindly write that I don't care about paying another $75. I'm not going to pay the first contractor. His story was too flimsy, he did not leave me an invoice, and he was very rude to tell me I needed to hurry up because he had other clients that he needed to proceed to see.
I asked to speak to a supervisor but she said there was no supervisor available. I told her I was frustrated. I had made seven calls, I pay a monthly fee, I had already paid $75 once, and it has been over a week and I still have no air conditioning in my home. I was rude to her and I apologized but I had no place of escalation. It was so frustrating trying to make sure that my mom was cared for. Finally, they told me that a second opinion had been approved for me.
They sent out Tanner and he was a godsend. At that point, I was in tears trying to explain to him. I didn't know what I was talking about. I didn't have an invoice and I didn't have anything from American Home Shield that could help him in his diagnosis of my air conditioning system. When he was testing the system, he did not know that nitroglycerin had been put in the system. And that was a very key thing for him to know so that his testing of the system was accurate. I showed him the notes that I saw from American Home Shield and what the first tech said.
Then, he went back and he said that the items of concern I expressed to him did not appear to be wrong. And that it doesn't look like I need the Freon like that either. He said that he would fix what he could and that I have 60 days from that day. If what he's done is not accurate, he said to tell American Home Shield to send him back out so that he can fix it. He fixed the issue he saw and I haven't had any problems since then.
But I'm not going to continue my service with American Home Shield. If this is how they treat people when they're at a time of need, that's horrible. I should not have had to make seven calls and I expressed to them that I had an elderly person in my home and they could have been more concerned. Also, if a contractor that they have sent out was not a positive experience, that could be investigated.

T & J Investment came out for an electrical issue and they ordered a part. They were supposed to come back but they did not show up. Then, they rescheduled for 7th July without notifying us. We've been without usage of the microwave for a month. Yesterday, I tried to get in contact with a T & J representative and came to no resolution. I just have to wait until 7th July.
But AHS backs up what they say. I had a hot water tank go down and they replaced it. The only thing that I had to come out of pocket was about $200 compared to paying $2,000 for a new one. We've had other home warranties before and we never got the service AHS provides. I recommended two of my friends and they're satisfied with it as well.

I needed a service for active water in the sink. I've tried every product and I didn't know where to go into the plumbing, instead of getting on the roof. AHS sent out a tech and he snaked it. He did a good job and he was the best plumber I've ever seen. He was personable, knowledgeable and quick. He listened to me, too. He could cut me off a half dozen times, but he didn't. And he explained that he really couldn't get up on those tracks on the road. He said they were not allowed to do that and it made sense. It didn't get closer to the problem anyway. I thought about snaking it there and I would have broken the pipe.
Aside from that, we've got a new dishwasher and a new garbage disposal courtesy of American Home Shield. Plus, one other drain problem was solved. The benefits of having AHS are immeasurable. You're paying your money right along and it's just such a peace of mind, but whenever you have a problem, you lay out that 75 and it's handled. I love their commercials, too.

A home warranty company is a single roof under which they've got experts from so many skills. It will be a very big advantage for us to go through such a program because we don't have to keep checking who is good and what are their credentials. It's all properly vetted by American Home Shield and that's the reason why we chose them. I recently had a smoke detector issue and a technician checked the problem and replaced it.

When my AC kicked on, it was making noise in the unit itself. The tech looked at it and said all it needed was a small part. However, it still didn't work. He did some more research and came back out and said there was a loose wire on the inside of the furnace unit that connected the furnace to the AC. It didn't take him five minutes after he found it.

I had a home for 10 years and I had American Home Shield on it. I was happy with them so when I got a new house, I kept the home warranty and transferred it to the new house. The claim process is pretty simple and you do everything on the website. Even if you don't remember your contract number, there are other ways to find it. You pick what the issue is and submit it. Pay the service charge and just wait for a phone call.
I used the home warranty when the downstairs unit wasn’t blowing cold and a tech came out. The unit was frozen so he had to let that thaw. He came back out later that same week and fixed the issue. Over that weekend, the unit stopped working. He came right back out that Monday. Now, everything is working fine. I recommended American Home Shield to my father and he is now with them. When considering a home warranty, make sure that you know what you're getting since there are different packages. Thoroughly read the information.

We called AHS and got our whole house rekeyed. We also had a washing machine go out and got that replaced. Then, our AC wasn't working, so the guy got there. He said it wasn't sided up right when they installed it and it wasn't even wired. So far, paying the 100 bucks and having people come out has been working great for us. The techs who came out have been really good, too. But there had been a couple times where we've tried to change dates and it didn’t seem like it got put in the system. There were little bits of lapses in scheduling and contact, but nothing I’d really complain about and they were always resolved.

A couple of years ago. I wanted to cancel my $100 payment to American Home Shield and I was put on hold from 45 minutes to an hour. Nobody ever picked up. I had asked to speak to a supervisor and I ended up hanging up. My wife who used to work in customer service told me that's what they do. They put customers on hold until they wear them out.
Also, AHS also doesn't necessarily cover everything. They have quite a few loopholes on what they won't cover. For instance, they'll cover the lifting machine of the garage door but they won't cover the spring. Also, if the dishwasher would go out, they would cover it unless it had rust. They get customers on those little things. If I would spend $6,000 on a brand-new washer and dryer and that went out, they would get me a fair market value one that's not the same washer and dryer. But the guy who came out for my garage door wasn't the most helpful. But, I have the number of the tech from Prayco Plumbing and he's the one I'll always call if there's something. I've been impressed with that.

Everyonelovesair, the first company that was sent out, contacted on May the 27th for repair. We called back American Home Shield and told them that nothing had been corrected in the 10 days prior and we wanted a secondary company to come out. US Air was assigned and they came out the following day, on a Saturday. They replaced the fan motor and everything was back up to speed and fine after that.
It’s fairly easy submitting a claim to AHS and the only hesitation we have sometimes is the technical company to come out and address the issue depending on scheduling. But we don't typically have too many problems as far as having someone come out and repair the problem. We've not had more than two issues in the time we've had AHS, with having the issues addressed in a timely fashion and professional method. Their coverage and price are reasonable. They're apt to get bad companies onboard sometimes but it’s as bad as anybody I have to pick out of a phonebook and try and deal with them. So, it's primarily to keep up the major systems in my home that they have coverages for that I picked them.

I've had service with American Home Shield four times and every time has been great. When I call a representative, she responds immediately to find the person that I need and scheduling people from wherever they are to take care of things. For a recent claim I had, the tech didn't quite get things right the first time around. He put a part in and it didn't work. The second time he came, he put a different part in and that worked like a charm. I felt very comfortable with the tech. He was very knowledgeable and nice. The overall service is excellent.

With my recent claim with AHS, the leaking stopped which is good. What could have done better was if the tech could have done it the same day ’cause he had to come back the next day. We provided him what was going on and what the issue was. From what I understood, once I gave the signs and symptoms, they would come prepared with what they need. I was assuming they were gonna fix it the same day. But that left us a night without water ’cause he had to turn off the water source. But they were professional and very communicative. They also didn’t leave a mess. AHS has been professional too. But when you try to file a claim online with AHS, it doesn’t seem very specific. Things like the categories when you make a claim are pretty general. They should make their online claim more user-friendly.

We had two things we needed to be looked at. They were both done promptly and were fixed. One was our dryer that was a little older. It was 2013. A tech came out, took a look at it, and determined that the problem was the motherboard. He ordered the part and a week later, he came back. He put in the part and said that he was surprised the part was even available. I figured that American Home Shield would probably just order a new dryer but the tech fixed it and it works great. I told a couple of people about American Home Shield like my son who lives in a two-year-old house now. Our neighbor across from us is having an issue and I told her to check out the home warranty.

My refrigerator stopped working as well as my freezer. Neither one would get cold. I told American Home Shield that about that and they scheduled Atomic Tech to come out. They came, were friendly, and kept their mask on when they were in my house, which I appreciated. They kept up with me with a text message. They said to give the refrigerator a few days to see if it would cool down. They needed to replace some kind of temperature sensor. They did that but it didn't work. Atomic Tech came back again. They said that the compressor was bad and that they would have to talk to American Home Shield to see if they wanted to repair it. About a week later, I got an email from American Home Shield saying they were not going to repair the refrigerator and they were gonna set me up for a new one. But the only refrigerator they had available that would have been free wasn't available so I opted to get a more expensive refrigerator.
I told American Home Shield which one I wanted. The whole ordeal took a month. They could have been faster. That aside, the new refrigerator is working. Immediately after that, I got an email saying that American Home Shield was increasing my monthly payment. That was less than ideal. I've been paying this for years and all of a sudden when I have a claim, I have to pay more. But it was okay.

I'm pleased with American Home Shield in some aspects, and some, I’m not. I had a service call put out in January regarding a microwave and this was the second or third time that it was the same issue with it. We paid the service fee. The contractor came out and fixed it. Within 60 days, the microwave stopped working again. I called and spoke to a representative at that time who was in the Philippines and explained the situation. He told me he would waive the service fee because it was within a short period of time. About a week later, I never received a call. AHS told me that the rep couldn't have said that. He wasn't authorized to do it. I explained that it was done. They were sorry for the inconvenience and that they would contact the person who did the repair and they would determine if it needed a replacement.
It went all the way up through escalation. I spent over six hours on hold on the phone to deal with the woman in the Philippines. She promised me she would call me the very next day. She never did. Two days later, I received an email from this woman in the Philippines who indicated to me that there's nothing that could be done. They could not reach out or receive the service report from the original contractor. So, therefore, I would have to pay the service fee again. I told her that she said she would call me back, she would resolve the issue, and that she would listen to the recorded call and hear that the man made an inference that I didn't have to pay the service fee again since I had just done that. She said she couldn't help me and that was it. I could not get any assistance from anyone in the US. I'm spending all this time emailing and corresponding. Nonetheless, the microwave still has not been fixed.
Then I had a problem with my air conditioning, so I called Home Shield and paid the $75 fee. I had this nice company come out called Doctor Cool. Within less than 24 hours, I received a call at 7:30 in the morning saying he could be out within four hours. The guy came and spent a lot of time looking at the unit. He told me that after evaluation and checking temperatures, he realized that it was a Freon issue, which was not covered by Home Shield. I spent another 600 and plus dollars to resolve that. The air condition has been working great. I've had no problem with this company. They were very professional and reputable.
But Home Shield's call center is horrible. They don't listen. They talk over me. Nothing that they say can be trustworthy because I'm waiting to hear back from them and they tell me that they're looking into one thing. By the time I finally got back to the lady, she never even addressed that issue. I would like a number from somebody I could speak to in the US so I could get my issues addressed. Also, my service requirement went up. From $50 a month, now I'm paying $53 a month and I'm never late on paying it.

I like AHS's cost. But your air conditioning goes out and they only pay for three pounds of Freon. I had an AC problem and they ended up charging me an exorbitant amount of money for Freon. Also, there were times where it's taken forever to get through to them and then you got transferred from one department to the next.
Then, one time, I had an issue with the refrigerator and one person came out twice and didn't fix it. Then they had to get another person from another company to come out and he couldn't fix it. The contractors should be able to come out and fix an issue the first time and not have to keep coming out over and over again. But I like that they try, where they would get different people involved. And I like having the company because it secures my peace of mind. If they weren't around, we wouldn't have a company that could at least try and help us once in a while, even though we may have to climb the ladder sometimes to get additional help.

I have six policies with AHS and their claims process is okay. I don't have to look for a technician. Before I had AHS, I was always searching for a technician who is doing a good job, on time and reasonable. Now, I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I'm satisfied with the technicians but it would be nice if I didn't always have a different one when I have issues, especially in the same area like with plumbing. I have a lot of issues with plumbing and always getting a different plumber is difficult when you're trying to communicate because you have to explain to people over what you're doing. Also, I had an AC unit serviced and I had to pay for freon. That wasn't covered with the service. Another thing is their customer service providers are in another country. It makes it sometimes very difficult to communicate.

I had a water leak behind my refrigerator. A plastic hose that holds that water that goes into the ice maker was broken. The company that first came out the first two times the issue happened fixed it once but it happened again in a couple of weeks. They fixed it again and it happened again. AHS has to find someone else to repair these issues. Some contractors don't do a good job. I asked for another company to come and do the job. They did a pretty decent job.

I've been a loyal customer for years. My problem is that American Home Shield keeps going up in cost. It's $77 a month for me to be a part of AHS plus $70 for the service fee when I have a contractor come out. I pay that upfront. I'm hoping that they can somehow bring my monthly fee down. Other than that, if I have a problem with a contractor, they would tell me what they were going to do - whether they're going to contact a contractor or if I suggested that I would like to talk to their supervisor, they would tell me that the supervisor would call me within a certain amount of days.

We came back from vacation a month and a half ago and all of a sudden the refrigerator wasn't on. The contractor came out and fixed it. Then, about two weeks later, it did the same thing. The tech fixed something else and it’s working now. And it only cost me 100 bucks to get the refrigerator fixed. AHS has been great.

I had a claim where one of the dampers was not opening. The tech didn't change anything out. He just opened it and left it open. I also had water damage and that took over a week. A plumber came out, shut the water off under the dishwasher that was leaking, and now he said I needed to pay again to get an appliance person out. I started off with it being a dishwasher claim. They can't tell and I can't tell either, so I don’t want to keep paying the $75 if I have to guess what’s wrong. The frustrating part is the people. When they call back on a claim, they have limited English. Sometimes they have a prescribed script and sometimes it doesn't head in the right direction. But I'm still glad I have AHS. They're normally really good and responsive.

I've used American Home Shield for a number of things, like for the AC. Also, I've had leaks in my kitchen sinks and in my bathroom. In my master bath, the fan in the bathroom went out. We call AHS and let them know what's going on with the problem. They say, "Okay. We're going to contact so and so for you." And then whoever they contact, those people contact us. Sometimes the people don't call soon enough for us. They call within 24 hours and so. But sometimes we're so impatient, then I would be like, "Well, let me just call them." But AHS is right on it as soon as we call. And you can get them every time, they set up everything for you, and they send the people out. It's great. We love it. We liked the recent tech. My husband mainly was here for that. And then when I got home, everything was fine. We've told a lot of family members and friends that they should get American Home Shield.

It’ll be nice if American Home Shield's website had general questions, like what do you do if you're missing power or if an outlet doesn't work, they could provide little tips and tricks for that. For my recent claim, I didn't have power to my outlet on one side of the house and I didn't know I had two GFIs. I knew I had one, but it was located in the basement. And I wouldn't have thought to look down there to find it and just press the button. In the end, pushing the GFI button solved majority of my problems.
It also seemed like two of my switches had a short in it and the service guy said it just got wore out. So I paid $100 service fee for something that could have cost me 10 bucks for two switches, and him telling me about the other GFI. But he was nice about it and there was nothing he could do. If it was worse, I would have felt better about the whole deal, but I'm glad it worked. Other than that, the service guy that came out was timely, nice, and really informative.

The tech was excellent. I just told him that when I would plug something in, like a vacuum, the motor would get hot and it would shut off. He figured it out and changed four of the outlets in that same area. It's hard when there are electricals to try and trace the issue but he did it pretty fast. When I first moved to Delaware, I didn't know any electricians or appliance people. American Home Shield has a list of them and they send them out. I wanted quality people coming into my home. That's one major advantage with AHS. I don't have to go searching.

When I bought the washing machine, I put a five-year warranty on it through Home Depot. I used that insurance. But it took over two months and two weeks to get somebody out here. On the other hand, American Home Shield sent a contractor out here faster, who then did a good job. My house was more of a challenge to the tech because it was built in the ‘50s. They built them different back then. And I had some plumbing issues. That was why I was worried about it the whole time, getting them out here to work on the plumbing.

I've had a whole host of things go wrong recently. One was my washing machine. It was imbalanced so the cycle was shutting down. On 5/19, my service provider was All Valley Appliance Heating & AC. When their guy came out, he told me what the problem was and what was covered. He said, “This is normal wear and tear, nothing unusual. We'll order the parts.” I then got a call from American Home Shield and they said it was not covered and gave me the reasons why. That was unacceptable and I wanted another group. They then assigned the service provider Foster's Appliances. And they were excellent.
The tech had outstanding communication. The window for when he was gonna be here was shorter than usual. It wasn't six hours. He said exactly what was going on, what he found, and what he was gonna do. He told me he needed to order parts, which was gonna take time. The tech said exactly what the first guy said then added that it could be covered under my warranty. They would have to verify with a call. The tech showed up again when he said he was gonna show up. I'm fine with the fact that the unit got repaired.
My frustration with American Home Shield is I don't really understand what's gonna be included and not included every time I make a service call. You have your contract and there's verbiage in there. When a technician comes out, he'll tell you what's wrong and you wait for them to tell you that it's not included in the coverage. I would recommend American Home Shield if someone has newer equipment. The odds of it getting covered are higher than if you have much older equipment.

The microwave was not working. If you had a glass of cold water and you put it in there for two minutes, when you took it out, it was still cold. I called the American Home Shield number, picked the menu that best suit me and told them the problem. I got a message saying who American Home Shield was sending out. That company called and told me when they were coming. Luckily, they were able to come on Memorial Day and I was here then. The tech called me up but I missed his call and I called him back. He said he was still coming. He came out to me quick and was very professional. He tested the microwave. He put water in there, waited two minutes and confirmed it was not working. I had given him the serial number and the model number so he had all the parts he thought he might need for it. They were the ones that he needed and he replaced them. Now it works. There was also a follow-up from both American Home Shield and the company that came out.
Right after we had that bad winter freeze, my air conditioner went out. I paid $100 for the person to come out and look at it. After they did that, they told me what they could do. I bought a new unit and financed it. The policy said that American Home Shield would pay up to $1,500 but they didn’t pay a penny. I called the company up and asked if American Home Shield gave a $1,500 discount. They said no. I called American Home Shield and they couldn't give me anything. It was almost like, “Legally, we can't tell you what we do.” I feel that I was taken advantage of $1,500.
The only reason I bought that plan was for an air conditioner. It was almost like they knew what they were doing going in. They were gonna do it. I was thinking I won't have to worry about the air conditioner 20 years. It seems like if it's a small appliance, they're ready to hop on that pretty quick. But if it's something bigger, it seems as if they just do what they wanna do. They’re gonna protect themselves. The only thing that would make me feel better is if American Home Shield was to send me a $1,500 check.

The technicians were very nice. They told me everything they were doing. One of the technicians told me that there was a leak in it. So they fixed something and it was supposed to stop the leaking. He said the antifreeze was a little low, so he put a little of it after he fixed the leak. Everything went well.
I've had an experience with American Home Shield where I did have to say, "Okay, I've been a little patient. It's been four attempts. And this is the fourth one, your policy says three.

I had wanted him to wear a mask and he did.
My oven was rather old and the heating element wasn't working properly. One of the things that I do like about American Home Shield is that if they're not able to fix it, then you get a replacement. They'll tell you you have to pick a certain brand according to what's in their inventory. I had to pick an oven that would fit. Because my home was built in the 1950s, the ovens were smaller then. I had to do a little bit of work myself to make it fit but it worked out. Another thing I do like about them is that no matter how old the appliance is, you can still have warranties for it.

Every year American Home Shield keeps going up and up on me. So I am going to start shopping around. Also, I go back into my files and I have 25 times that contractors have come out to fix the air conditioner and they should have deemed it non-repairable. So I had to go out and purchase a new air conditioner for the house. But the service is beneficial because if something goes wrong, I can call and have it fixed.

My washing machine was broken and the water would not drain out of the basement properly. Also, when I would turn on the standpipe, the water would just sit there. A technician from GE Appliances came out. He called me to let me know he was on his way and when he came, he had on his mask and everything. He advised me of everything he was gonna be doing and he did it. It was super quick. It was a pump issue and he replaced the pump. He cleaned up after himself and I was happy with the service. I am thankful that I have American Home Shield because it could have been quite costly for me to repair or replace my washing machine. The fact that I have it brings me some peace of mind and I am gonna continue my relationship with them.
Thanks for sharing your AHS experience. Please let us know if you need assistance in regards to your warranty.

Ally Plumbing came out and fixed a pipe that had a hole in it. That was all great. I have another claim for my faucet and bathtub that are leaking. The valve under the sink where you turn the hot water and cold water on and off is leaking so it is damaging my vanity. I've been trying to get AHS to assign somebody to the claim and they did. Three different times, they assigned the same person and it was NW Sundance Services. They never came out nor did they call back.
All the reviews I've read on Yelp, Google, and everywhere about NW Sundance Services say that they suck. They can get out here in a month and I can't wait that long. It’s crazy. I started a service claim almost two weeks ago. I’ve called about 10 times to try to get somebody to come out here. I'm about to cancel my AHS because I'm sick and tired of trying to get somebody else out here. I'm getting fed up with AHS and the runaround. Every time I call, they say, “Sorry. I will make sure to put that in your file.” But they never do and I get reassigned to the same exact company.
NW Sundance Services supposedly tried calling me but I've not gotten a call or a message from them. I'm frustrated. It’s getting ridiculous because AHS took $100 from me for this service claim and it's still just sitting there pending for no reason because nobody's gonna come fix the problem. I requested Ally Plumbing but AHS said they can't request vendors anymore. I tried calling AHS earlier and they said their computers were updating. They told me to call in an hour or two.

American Home Shield had a special for an AC service. It was an AC check-up for $79. I booked that, and then never heard anything back. A week later, I booked it again, and then the same thing. Nothing happened. Those transactions got cancelled. I didn't get anything back regarding any cancelation. So, I assumed that that special wasn't going on even though there was a flyer on the website. After that, I just booked for a service to have my AC unit checked up, and that was when I got an appointment set for that. So, I was disappointed about that. Finally, after that third time, everything got checked up.
One thing, too, that was a little concerning was the technician. He was late. We didn't mind him being late, but there was no phone call or any text saying that he would be late. The time set for the technician to come by the house was from 2:00 to 5:00. And it was 5:20 when I called Rose Heating & Air and they said this would be his last stop and he was heading my way. My wife was at home waiting between 2:00 and 5:00, the whole time, for the technician to show up, and she was disappointed. She said, “If I knew he was gonna be late, I probably could have done something else, or got a couple of errands done back home.” But the technician was very knowledgeable. He said he has been doing it for 30 years. He knew exactly what was wrong. He did a good job on the repair and everything went well. He was friendly.

I had a clog that was about 75 feet into the pipe. The young man that cleared it did a good job staying diligent because I was thinking something more was going on, but he finally got it cleared. He was very protective of the environment. He made sure he had shoe covers on and he rinsed off his tools and everything before he rolled them through the house.
My brother was in town from Virginia and he was shocked how rapidly American Home Shield responded. He has a home warranty program up in Virginia on his house. Having American Home Shield, I have the convenience of not worrying about dishing out more than my deductible to get things resolved. We live in Florida, so AC units are our number one issue. So, it's comforting to know all I got to do is pay my deductible and have somebody come out. The most I’m paying is for Freon if I require more than a pound of Freon.

We found water on the basement floor of my house where my mother lives. When the plumber came, he checked all the pipes. The problem wound up being the washer. Since it was an appliance issue and we're one of American Home Shield's contractors we fixed it. We deal with a lot of home warranties and we like AHS as they seem to be the fairest of them. Getting in contact with them has improved as well. A lot is done online now so that makes it easier. With some home warranty companies, the only thing they do is try to get out of fixing it or taking care of their customer. We recommend AHS. They're the easiest to deal with and they take care of their customers a lot better than other warranties do. That's why I bought the policy for my own house.

I've heard various stories about some of the warranties so I was glad that that was able to get a replacement and AHS lived up to their word. I told AHS when I first got them that I didn't want any surprises and that I was depending on them because their warranty is expensive.

The contractor wasn't able to come out for a full six days. I called on a Monday and they couldn't come out until a Saturday or it might have even been longer than that. That would have been concerning and when I called, I had to do it through an automated service. I wasn't able to go into detail. I was okay with that because there wasn't anything wrong with the air and I just scheduled a tune-up. But you would think that somebody would have wanted to gather more information because had that been an emergency or a 911 situation, if I didn't have air, I didn't have an opportunity to talk to anybody. Maybe I would have been able to push through to go get a person live. I didn't have to do that so I didn't but I was a little taken aback by that.
Everything is going automated and I know that we're having an issue with not having enough help, work and employees so that was probably an easy way to schedule. That was fine for something like taking a proactive appointment but if I had been reacting to an emergency or something in my home, I probably would have been a little irritated by not having a live person.
But the contractor was on time. He pulled up to the minute at the scheduled time and he let me know he was in route and if I wasn't there. He also made a phone call and I got a text. I may even gotten an email. It was beautiful communication. He came and he did what he had to do and told me that he had to order the part. But I haven't heard back about the part that he ordered or when he will be back. He told me that it would be a couple of days but that was Saturday and now it's Friday. So, I'm not quite finished with that job. They have some additional work that they're still doing. I shouldn't be in a situation where I need to call to find out where we are if it's been six days. So, I’m dissatisfied.

There have been a couple of times where I have put in a claim, one was for the garage then the other one was for electrical and I paid $100 both times. The technician came out, pushed the button and everything got restored. It was a tripped wire. I was out $200 and in two minutes, the technician fixed the issue and was gone. American Home Shield could also have helpful tips section to help people troubleshoot some issues they may have instead of submitting a claim. Or if it was a small issue, there could be a possible refund of not the whole thing but something.

When I submit my service request online, AHS assigns someone very quickly. They've only had one problem when someone didn't respond right away but then they assigned someone else really quickly. American Plumbing was great. They worked with us in a really timely matter and they went to bat for us when we had trouble getting a water heater and American Home Shield expected us to pay. I paid my $100 deductible but in order to expedite the water heater, I had to pay an extra 132 which did not make me happy. But, I would have paid 500 to get hot water.
Rather than letting the vendor order the needed part, AHS has to order it, notify the vendor and then the vendor picks it up. Lowe's was out of water heaters and they were backordered. We had to boil water for seven days. I called AHS and they said they were doing the best they can. American Plumbing said they had a unit at a local appliance store nearby so they asked that store to set aside one.

The techs took care of the problem but the way they went about it leaves a lot to be desired. American Home Shield pays them so much money to do the repair, and Big Orange attacks on a lot of other stuff that's not covered. They kept saying that by codes, I have to have this and that, which was almost $700 worth of extra stuff. And I was stuck, because I had no hot water. They put in a 29-gallon tank and the receipt said 30-gallon tank. And that’s a big difference. I spoke to another plumber who doesn't work with American Home Shield and he said that all techs do that and it’s because they don't get paid enough from American Home Shield to do these repairs. Big Orange took a long time, too. It took me a week to get a hot water heater put in and they kept blaming American Home Shield, that they couldn't get the approval right away.
Other than that, usually American Home Shield is pretty good. You put a claim in, they assign a technician for it, and they follow up with it. But if they're covering the repair, they should cover the whole repair. If you had to replace something that, now, is out of code and has to be updated, then they should pay for that. But they don't. They have a big clause in there that says they don't pay for any upgrades. I had one other problem about four years ago with a washing machine and they finally took care of that. The technician that they sent out here didn't want to do the repair and AHS bought me a new washing machine.

I don't know where all it is exposed to, where the water is infiltrating in my home. I need someone to come out,” and was told it was not an emergency. I was extremely disappointed in that service.
By the time I finally got someone on the phone that could assist me and was willing to assist me and let me know that they could send someone out, the next day, I had already found my own vendor.

When something goes wrong in the house, like a washing machine or a refrigerator, American Home Shield has two or three different companies that come out to make sure that it's not working before they can give you the money for the appliance, half of it. You got to pay the other half. If your appliance doesn't work anymore and if they're going to get you another one, you have to go out there and get it yourself. They tell you how much they're going to give you. You go and purchase it then send your invoice and email them back but they don't follow up on it. You have to stay up on them in order for them to do what they need to do.
They have improved as far as when you need work done but the part when they have to refund you the money, that's the problem that I have, and I think other people have too. I had to buy a new washing machine and it took me from December 'til April for them to refund my money for it. You have to email them all this stuff two, three times and keep calling.

The thermostat wasn't reflecting the temperature in the house. If we set it at 72, it would get no lower than 79. I submitted a claim to American Home Shield on a Thursday and it was assigned on Friday. I waited to see if the company was going to call me and after I didn't hear anything in the afternoon, I called the company. The rep said they didn’t have any appointments until Tuesday. It wasn't too terribly hot over the weekend, so it wasn't a big deal. I've never had an emergency situation but I don't know what would have happened if it had been 105 degrees and we had no AC on a Friday. For the most part, it went smoothly and the contractor fixed the AC. It seems to be working now. There were two gentlemen and one came in the house and went up in the attic to figure out what was going on. It was very informative, and they gave me some things that I probably should do. So, that was nice.
I would expect though that once the company gets the information from AHS saying they have a service call, the company should reach out to the customer versus the customer reaching out to the company. Also, AHS should have clearer terms as far as what’s covered. They will only cover a certain amount for Freon but you don’t know how much you need. It says it covers up to $10 per pound but if you have an older AC system, then the Freon is more expensive. People who have older homes may not have $20,000 to upgrade their system. So, they have the old system and it's working fine but low on Freon. They got to come out of $1,000 just to put Freon in it. At that point, AHS is only going to cover $100 of that $1,000. So, I might as well pay for it myself. Still, I’ve gotten decent service from AHS.

But when I called and asked for another person, AHS sent the same person out. Then they finally sent a different person and that person did the same thing. So it wasn’t satisfactory for me. The faucet is working okay. But if it ever breaks, I'll have water everywhere. There’s a gap in between where the tub ends and the faucet begins. It's about one inch that’s filled in with silicone.
Thanks for sharing your warranty experience. I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused you. My name is Stacy and I've emailed you as I would like to speak to you more about your claim.

American Home Shield is the easiest to work with. We had just moved in and our air conditioning wouldn't come on. A contractor came out and diagnosed it quickly. It was a circuit board that was bad so they ordered the part. The part came in even faster than we thought it would and they got us fixed up.

One issue is it takes the contractors a substantial amount of time to be able to get authorization on a part. I called two weeks ago in regards to my washer and the contractor is waiting on authorization from American Home Shield to get a belt. It's only a $40 belt. But until they get the authorization, they cannot complete the repair. I'm having a pool party to celebrate Father's Day and I need my washer so that when people get out of the pool, I can put the items into the washer. It was the same thing with my refrigerator, It took the contractor three weeks to repair that because of the authorization and it was during the Christmas holiday. I didn't have a cold refrigerator.
Another issue is when I talk to the customer service representative, I can't understand them because they're all foreign. Also, when they put this ticket request in, it's always inaccurate. I always have to call back and follow up. I don't like the overall services. And they send you the wrong contractors. One time, I specified to the customer service representative I have well and septic. I spent $75 for a technician to come out and they said they don't work on well and septic. Why would they not research the correct company that services what I have? I will not be using AHS next year.

For some of the services we had in the past with AHS, we had to get back five times to make sure what the service was provided versus when he came here and then when he went back and reported to AHS.

My recent claim was for the air conditioner that stopped working. A tech came on Saturday, pointed what was wrong right away and fixed it within half an hour. He was awesome. He explained things and gave me some hints. American Home Shield eases your mind. If something goes bad, instead of paying thousands of dollars for somebody, you just pay a deductible. I can go to sleep every night knowing if I break something major, I can call them and it will be fixed the same day or maybe the next day. I don't have to go get a loan to fix the house. However, an emergency number will be awesome. I live in the desert so if the air goes out here, it is a big deal. American Home Shield should have an urgent option for their customers.

One of my recent claims to American Home Shield was an easy piece of work because the oven had completely failed, so tee tech just needed to come in and confirm it. It couldn't be fixed. So, that was wonderful. AHS had to make it official. We talked over the phone. I knew the oven was broken, but we needed a professional to confirm that. He was fine. Also, the garage door people were great. They did a wonderful job and they were very personable.
I'm ready to scream with my oven though, and that isn't their contractors. It's HSA. This has been going on for like a month since Baldwin visited. I accepted their offer for their oven that they wanted me to take, and then they lost my acceptance. They finally got the thing here. It was delivered, but the guy who delivered it can't install it. So, I called them back and said, "That was just a delivery person. They are not installers." We went round and round for hours on the phone. Then they said, "All right. We're gonna assign Baldwin." So, he called me, and we talked. He said, "I can't do that work for you. They have to assign somebody else. That's not something in my wheelhouse." So, then we were on the phone again for another hour yesterday, and they said someone would call me back. No one has.
My oven’s sitting on the floor, and they won't install it. Then they're arguing that my home needs modification, it's my house that’s a problem. It's not a modification. The wires are sticking out of the wall. You hook the wires to the oven, you put it together and shove it in the wall but you need an electrician to do that or someone who's licensed as an installer. A regular person can't do that. It won't be code. So, they think I need special permission or it is my fault that I have a normal house. This is out of my pocket. They haven't even come to a conclusion yet. Every time we talk to somebody, it's like we're starting over. Nobody takes notes or they don't understand the notes they have.
If you wanna do something online as far as claims, it's fine. If you wanna communicate with them, it’s possible. You put it in. You're hoping that it works, but it doesn't always. My claim was put in for an oven. It was needing to be replaced, and they didn't process it. After two weeks, I called and said, “What's the deal?” They said, “Oh, it's still sitting in pending.” They had done nothing. The woman online was nice. She helped me pick an oven out that matched. Within 24 hours, I looked at what she sent me and accepted. Then again, it's been delay after delay. Overall, having American Home Shield is worth it, but it’s such a hassle. You’d think you could just turn it in and you'd be done, but it's hours and hours on the phone and weeks and weeks of delays. So, it's not transparent. It's awful.
Are you still in need of assistance?

The techs who came identified what the issue was. They repaired the broken door lock on the washing machine, and removed the piece that had spun into the machine. It broke off and it went inside. They opened up, took that off, repaired it, put on new latch and then they advised me about the dryer and what it needed was to have the vent cleaned.
Sometimes, doing a service request to American Home Shield is easy. Sometimes, it's not so easy. I prefer to call because then I can explain what the issue is rather than trying to write it. So far, they've sent really good contractors who take care of the work. Sometimes the out of pocket cost is a bit high. Somebody came and they inspected our AC, and then they said what was needed. But then when we gotta pay 3,000 out of pocket, it's heavy to just take that on. We had to let that one sit for the moment until we can figure that out.

I like American Home Shield but sometimes I have issues with the contractors. One was the electric company and the other was the garage door company. The two companies were blaming each other. One company would say, “No, this is correct.” and the other guy would say, "No, it's not correct." It was not a good experience. But the second guy was excellent. He explained everything and told me what the issue was. And he provided me his business card so the garage door company and he could talk to each other if the latter said they don't agree. However, I'm in the middle and I told them to call AHS and figure it out. Normally, they would resolve the issue but they went back and forth four times. It was annoying. AHS needs to be talking directly to their contractors, not to me. They should figure it out on their end.

They worked with me with my work schedule. One thing I liked about them too was they always updated me about what was going on. They did the thermostat and it did work for a day. But the same problem occurred where the outside or the inside wasn't coming on so they came back out and fixed it quickly.
American Home Shield is worth it for me and I will highly recommend them. It's affordable. My monthly payment is not that much and my deductible is wonderful.

The AC started acting up on a Friday. We could hear the motor running but then it would stop. One day, I went up there and checked. I noticed the fan was not turning. I came back inside and told my wife. She said to turn it off so we did. I didn't want anything to happen like smoking. My wife looked it up on the phone. She said that was one sign of a bad motor or a connector. There were two other items that could possibly go wrong to cause that. It did say to get a long screwdriver and try to push it to get it started. I did that and it did start. But it did the same thing two hours later. We left it unplugged. It was a weekend so I didn't want to bother anybody.
The last claim that I had concerning the AC, American Home Shield offered that I should buy a window unit and they would refund me the money on that. I did and we held on to that window unit. We have it in the garage. This time, I did the same thing. I put it on the window. That kept us going until Monday came around. I reported the incident and the contractor called me back. The schedule was very good, except that I found out that you can call anytime. But what saved us is that we have a small window unit that we had previously gotten from American Home Shield. The first year we moved in here, the blower inside the house went out. I called the same person and unfortunately, she was on vacation so she couldn't help me.

When I first started out with AHS, I was living in Alabama. It was summer and our air conditioning went out. I had one grandchild and my daughter both have severe asthma, and having their AC out was really bad. So the contractor came out that night and had it fixed within a half hour. They were really amazing. Then I had to get my whole unit replaced when we lived down there and it only ended up costing me $700 instead of 3,000. So it's been amazing.
A few weeks ago, our outside faucet wouldn't turn off, and so the water was running like crazy. The contractor came out, and they not only fixed the faucet, but they came in and looked at all the plumbing inside, all the way through the kitchen. They were great. I've never had a bad experience working with AHS. I've had an issue with one of their providers, but they haven't been back out. But that was over 15 years ago. AHS is worth every penny.

There was a little L-shaped valve that comes out and it was right next to the front door of the house, and it was dripping. It wasn't flowing. So we had to put a little bucket there to capture water. This pressure regulator was not doing the regulation the way it was supposed to. When the contractor put the gauge up against there, it was 110 PSI. The normal here in California is about 60. So this thing was way high. The valve needed to be replaced because it wasn't doing its job about controlling the pressure. They replaced it and they did a great job.
After they left, I went outside and was kind of looking around and they left two of their tools there and one of their coffee mugs. So I called them back up and I told them about it. I also said that the pressure doesn't seem to be right in the home. So then they said they would be out at a certain time and date. Then they came out and got their tools and adjusted the pressure up to 80. It works fine now. They did everything that I expected them to do. They were upfront and honest. They wanted to impart what was going on and what was causing what. So they spent some time to educate me about what was happening so that I understood.
When I had a problem with a leak, the tech had to come in. We're on a flat slab here and to get in there, you got to do a little jackhammer thing. It wound up where American Home Shield paid $1,000 towards the work and I was left with a bill of 2,000 because they didn't cover the whole thing. Also, instead of the vendor telling you, “Oh, we've called we've contacted American Home Shield, and they say that they'll only pay for a certain amount, and then you are responsible for the rest. Do you still want us to do the job,” American Home Shield should contact the customer and say, “All right. We have contacted the vendor. This is how we've assessed it. This is what it's going to cost. This is what we will pay for and this would be a bill that you have that you would have to pay direct to the vendor."
I would much rather hear it from an agent at Home Shield than from the vendor. Then I know that I can trust whatever that assessment, how is it made, and was it provided to Home Shield. It would have also made me feel a lot more comfortable. But overall, I've been very happy with Home Shield. I still am and I will still be a customer.

Absolute nightmare of an experience. It is downright impressive how a subsidiary of a publicly traded company can be so incompetent in the one thing they are supposed to do – cover the repair or replacement of something that went wrong. In my case, the thing that went wrong was the AC unit just as summer is starting to get hot.
After they sent a tech out to examine the unit, a complete replacement was recommended, to which AHS agreed to. After this, you would think it would be as simple as ordering the unit and scheduling the install, but of course not. They apparently have various departments and levels of approval, they might as well be a government agency with the amount of bureaucracy, even the DMV is more efficient than this. After it was determined that the unit would be replaced, the automated system kept on saying "equipment on order" for almost two weeks straight. I was on the phone with them every single day and as of this review nothing has been resolved.
They keep bouncing back to the technician, saying the tech is responsible for ordering the unit. It was then determined that it wasn't the tech, it was actually AHS's responsibility. The order was recreated and even though supposedly AHS ordered the unit, they cannot locate any tracking info or other status as to where the parts are or how long it will take. After calling over and over, another representative from their Facebook page then said it's the technician's responsibility for ordering the parts! And so the circle continues. They offered a $100 reimbursement for a window AC unit as a result of this inconvenience which is not only a joke but downright insulting. Many times the reps say they need more time to research the issue and will call you back but surprise, surprise, they don't actually call back. If you are a current customer, pray that nothing breaks down because AHS is downright unreliable.

They had made the appointment with A-US Air and then they canceled it because it was the wrong thing. Then they remade it. The A-US Air guy came out. He put water in it and just down the pipes and flushed it. That was all he did and blew it out, and then said it was okay. But, it wasn't okay.
I called him back two days later because there was still a leak coming out of the floor. They sent another guy out. The other guy that came out from the same company said a whole bunch of stuff. I said, “If my system was having a problem like that, I would have known and called for that.” He diagnosed and had a whole bunch of problems that I don't even know why the other guy didn't see it. Then on top of all that, he had cut my unit open up since. He didn't even tape it back, he just left it like that. They didn’t fix anything.

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

That was not what I had in mind about a home warranty. I thought that's what it was for when you have those big things, because they get to you when something like that happens, where with the smaller things, a lot of times, the air condition guys, by the time you pay this deductible, a lot have come out here for that. And you’ve spent a few dollars more in fixing.
Having American Home Shield is better than not having something. But that 3,000 started making me think about something different once they figure the premium and the deductible if we have problems. Before then, it has always been stuff like the AC or heat wasn't working, or icemaker stopped operating and it was the deductible. Those took care of things okay.
I saw something, and I just inquired about it from Amazon Home Warranty. I went with them for a little while because they covered Freon on air conditioners, where that's another thing that their contractors will hit you up with, and I don't know whether they're telling me right or not. I tried them, but they were the worst company I could have gone with. And it made me appreciate American Home Shield and a lot more from what a bad run company is and somebody who is not worried about the customer, looking back on my history with them through the many years.

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

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

I get online and request service but there may be a little lag when I'm waiting for the contractor to contact me. But the most recent contractor, Cow Bell, contacted me early the next morning. The techs arrived within the timeframe and they assessed the problem right away. As soon as they took the cover off, they realized what the problem was and they had the part with them. Within 30 minutes the job was done and my AC was working and they checked it really quick. It was a great experience. Get American Home Shield.

We had an issue with the dishwasher and AZ Appliance Repair was dispatched. They called before they gave a certain time limit. Then 20 minutes before they came, they called again and confirmed that they were there. The first time the technician came, he tried to fix it without adding the part because he said it might just be minor adjustments. But then after a few days, it happened again. It was back to them. When I did the second claim for the hood over the stove that was broken, the same technician came and he fixed that. Then he ordered the parts for our first claim and he brought it by himself then he added it. It's amazing how American Home Shield takes the claim and tells us that somebody will contact us within 12 hours or 24 hours. Then the repair is scheduled also very quickly.

American Home Shield's service has been great. I have had some great technicians that have come out based upon my service needs, and their response has been great and the work they do is excellent.

Airtronics wasn't supposed to come out for our AC. We were trying to resolve this matter as to why they came out besides the company that was supposed to come, and there was some confusion. Still, they weren't able to do the work based upon my contract agreement with American Home Shield. They're not affiliated with American Home Shield at all. So that was an issue. Airtronics was great. My husband loved the gentleman that came out. He fixed things quickly.

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

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

We had the gentleman come look at the refrigerator the day before yesterday and he told us that there was nothing wrong with it. H said it just needed to be unplugged, defrosted, cleaned up, and dried up. We did that and gave it 24 hours. It’s the garage fridge, so it’s dried. Then yesterday, we plugged it back in and it was getting a little cool, like it did before, but it's not getting cold. So we are not seeing much the way it should be cold. We have left a message with American Home Shield and we have tried to call a few times A Plus Appliances, the assigned contractor. We left the messages and so far, we haven’t heard from them yet.
But the other experiences before that had been great. Maybe this will turn out to be good too, but we don’t know yet. We were also hoping we’d be hearing from them to let us know at least what should we expect. Now it’s been more 24 hours for the fridge to be plugged in and as a consumer, sometimes we don’t know things like how long should we wait before it gets cold again. Other than that, AHS initially contacted the contractor right away and we got a response from A Plus Appliance in a very timely fashion as well. So American Home Shield, in general, is an extremely good company and I would recommend it to others.

I cleaned out a closet which shares the wall with the bathroom and noticed the carpet was damp. So, I made a call to American Home Shield. They sent out a plumber. The first plumber who told me, “Oh, you have to have all these Sheetrock removed and everything, and then we’ll come and do the repair.” They came back a few weeks later when the Sheetrock was removed, and it was dried out. And the guy was rude to me and walked out of my house and slammed the door. So, I requested with AHS that they not send them back out to do the repairs. I felt a bit disrespected in my home.
Subsequently, they sent out Budget Rooter and they were excellent. They told me everything that they needed to do, when they would do it, and how long it would take. And they were respectful in my home and to me. So, even if I didn't have a claim through my warranty, I would call them again just as an individual homeowner. When I had an issue with the first contractor, it was unclear how AHS would handle that. At one point, they mentioned, “Oh, well, we'll let our field representative know.” And I was like, “Well, that doesn't mean you're sending them back out again, does it?” But even that communication was resolved in 24 hours. So, then I understood what would happen. Minor inconvenience.
Get a home warranty. It's important because there are unknowns when you buy an existing home. It was my first time managing a claim. I’m a new homeowner. And I had to coordinate between AHS and the insurance company. They each would cover certain portions of the work. That was just a learning curve for me. But AHS was great in explaining to me what my warranty covered and how to go about making the claim and the process easy. It was fine working with them. I'm glad I have the coverage. And if people have questions about what's covered, just call AHS and ask them and they will tell you.

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

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

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

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

I had been hearing my air conditioner not sounding right. It was working really hard. American Home Shield had offered their $75 tune-up so I requested for service. A/C Pros came out and inspected. They did what they said they were gonna do. They found tha there was a problem with the disconnect of my condenser. There was a lot of problems with that condenser outside. I called American Home Shield now for another service, but this time, this is going to be a service call. I requested A/C Pros again because they had all the notes on this condenser and what the problem was. So they came out and fixed my condenser. Everything was perfect. My air conditioner is working great, and I had a great experience. American Home Shield did a fine job, and I appreciate that they got on it as fast as they did. I was taken care of immediately. Also, I really liked A/C Pros.

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

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

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

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

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

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