    We turned on our AC and it didn't come on. We've had American Home Shield for several years and we called them. They sent out an air conditioning company and their tech looked at the outside then went upstairs in the attic to the furnace and checked it out. My husband had put a new thermostat on and he didn't hook it up correctly. That was what the problem was. The tech found it right away so that was very nice. American Home Shield's customer service was fine. We were very fortunate and haven't had to call them much. I have heard of people that have had problems with the home warranty but we never had any. They are very prompt in getting somebody out here.

    I've been with American Home Shield for a number of years and I've used them a number of different times without any problem. I feel very good about American Home Shield. But this last issue soured me a little bit. I had a company come out here to see if they could adjust the water filter in the refrigerator. I had the filter, but I was unable to place it myself. The company came out and the person tried to insert the filter into the refrigerator unit but was unable to do it. They said they could not replace the filter, and that the entire filter unit within the refrigerator probably needed to be replaced. They could do that, but it was gonna cost me an additional $150. In the meantime, I had prepaid the visit on my American Express card with $100, but nothing was done. The problem was not solved.

    We have a washer and dryer combined, the dryer on top and the washer on the bottom. Water was coming out of the washer, so it was getting onto the floor. When I made the claim, the appointment was scheduled for the next day. It was pretty simple ‘cause it was all automated. The contractor came out and fixed it. It was quick and efficient. This is the second time that I've had that issue so this is the second time that it has been repaired.

    In the future, I'm gonna have this issue with the washer again. From American Home Shield's standpoint, I can just pay my call fee and they'll have someone come out and fix it. As a consumer, if the same issue is happening and the unit is faulty, I should get a replacement. But they don’t want to go down that route. Looking at it, that's going to cost more money as opposed to the flip which I'm being more inconvenienced.

    I love Beyer Appliance Service and the results of their service. Their technician was very professional and he did the job exactly and timely. He cameout and looked at the refrigerator and told me what the problem was. They said they were ordering a part then the company called and told me when it was going to deliver. And it was delivered just as they said. They then set the appointment right away and they were there between the time that they told me. Everything went smoothly and I really loved the process.

    The price of American Home Shield's service is good, too. Payments are easily made as well as filing a claim and making an appointment. There can be delays but it's not the warranty company that delays anything. Sometimes the delay is on getting an appointment, but I understand that we are not the only customer they have. Other than that, it's an excellent company and all of the people they've contracted have been good contractors. Being retired and being almost 70 years old, AHS puts me at ease that I'm going to have what needs to be fixed, fixed.

I love American Home Shield. It's so easy. I could just click the link on what was sent to me and it would take me directly back to the website and show me who it was that was assigned, the name of the company and the phone number. The company that came was great. I just had somebody out just right before that wasn't able to fix the problem, and this guy was able to get it done. He was nice, professional, and he got some part that solved the problem.

    American Home Shield's claim submission process seems pretty easy. I do it online. But if I don't know if the home warranty is going to cover something, I wouldn't do the claim online. I would call it in if I had a question. I've had two service calls in the last two weeks. One was for the dishwasher door that was opening too fast all the way down to the floor. This was addressed very quickly by a tech tightening the cables. The second claim isn't completed yet. The guy had to get permission to order something. He was here on the 27th and I haven't heard back from him. I'm still waiting. Overall, American Home Shield is a good company.

    The worst part is sometimes, there is a delay in getting somebody out here. With the microwave claim, American Home Shield gave it to one company and that company called me back saying they couldn’t get there for three weeks. That was not acceptable so I called American Home Shield back and they gave me another company that was out within five days. Also, my premiums kept going up. But I've had appliances replaced that could not be repaired. With my AC claim, Austin Heating was amazing. Heather, the receptionist there that answers the phone was very knowledgeable and really made me feel better. Then the young man that came out, Eduardo, was courteous, professional, and got it done.

    The most recent claim was for my older dryer and the panel burned out in it. The contractor came out and said they would try to find the panel and if they couldn't, then I'd be contacted. I got contacted yesterday and they told me they could not find the panel so they were going to do a replacement value of my dryer. They sent me an online deal giving me comparable options to what I have and they were all Whirlpool. This is a Heaven LG washer so I'm trying to keep it as close as I can to a matched pair. That takes up to six weeks when I do it online. The replacement cost value, the check that they would cut me to go buy a new dryer is $1,200. I said that I'll just take the cash buyout option. It'll take three weeks to get my money back. Imagine going without a dryer for a month. Overall, I've been very happy with American Home Shield. I'm going to stay with them until I can't afford them anymore.

    Water was backing up out of the washing machine drain and it's been a recurring issue with us. The technician who came snaked it and got some sludge out. He said the problem is the way the house is plumbed. It's an older house and some of the pipes are reverse graded so it’s not an issue that's gonna permanently go away. AHS handled this call well. Having a home warranty saves money especially on an older house. It pays for itself every year.

    I am in the process of selling my home and the home inspector went through and said that the AC wasn't working at all. So, I drove to Arizona. I went through the house and turned on the AC unit. It would come on but nothing is coming out of the vents. Yesterday, Vail called me to collect payment because they charged the AC unit and to make sure everything was better. I told them that I didn't know what they fixed but they didn't fix anything because it was doing exactly the same thing and that they needed to fix it again. They're supposed to be going back out to check it but as of the third time that I called Vail Heating & Cooling yesterday, the boss had not responded to the employee's requests on an email as to what they were going to do about it. Vail went out there four times this week. They were on it. It's just the issue didn't get resolved.

    The advantages of having a home warranty is you never know what's gonna happen when it's going to happen. The initial warranty that I had was from Fidelity and I changed to American Home Shield. My boss had Fidelity as a home warranty company and he was having issue after issue getting people to his home. So, even though I didn't experience those problems, I saw firsthand that they didn't have a lot of providers in the area so I changed my company to someone that did and I’m thankful. I paid seven years for coverage on something I'd never used until last week but it's a benefit in having it because I don't have $20,000 for an air conditioner unit if that's what it winds up being. I don't have the ability to take care of this stuff right now. AHS is $60 a month but it's a great investment into your house. And in a rural town where our population is only about 5,000, that AHS has providers is amazing.

    Our icemaker went out and the repairman that came was excellent. However, I've been waiting for a new oven since November. There's not a lot of appliances out there and that's been a rough one for me. I even filed a Better Business report against AHS on this. It's been too long and I have no idea when it's gonna be there. Also, I wait on the phone for an hour and a half for them to pick up. But one of them told me to push the star button and go to the Spanish line, and they have to take care of you anyway. I do that now and it only takes about 10 minutes. I've been telling all my friends that the Spanish side of that is great to deal with and really helpful.

    My house is 11 years old. The older your house gets, the more essential it is to have something like American Home Shield because things tend to go wrong that you never expect. Two of the eyes on our stove wouldn't ignite and then our oven was only heating half. We submitted a claim and it was simple, but I wish they had an app as opposed to having to go online and do it. Otherwise, it’s just one extra step. It’s not an inconvenience. I put the claim in on Friday, and the repair company was out Monday. They assessed it and then went and got the parts. A few days later, they came and installed it. Now, everything's working perfectly. It was effortless.

    The one that was assigned put a faucet in and then, we got a leak in another pipe at the bottom of our kitchen area. We called American Home Shield and I didn't realize it could go to another individual. Otherwise, I would have had him come back because the guy was nice. I got assigned Grade A Plumbing and they fixed the leak at the bottom. It turned out that there was still a leak and my wife thought they didn't fix it. So, I told American Home Shield and told them to have Grade A come back.

    We found out in the interim that it wasn't the bottom pipe that was leaking but it was from the installation of the faucet by the guy who was assigned from a drip that was dropping on the same spot where we had a leak at the bottom. I called AHS back and told them. We have a leak from his installation and I have sent him emails and left phone messages. He still owes me $94 for the faucet from the last visit and he hasn't gotten back to me, which was rude. So, I’d like him to get back to me, come back and fix his original work where something went wrong. If it's something else that's leaking from above that isn't related to the faucet, I'm more than happy to pay for that but I'm sure it's related to the faucet installation because it's coming from one of the connections to the faucet.

    I submitted something Friday afternoon, the plumbing company that was responsible for it called Saturday to schedule something for Monday morning. They showed up Monday morning mostly on time. They took care of it. We also had a toilet that was constantly running. We had a company come out but they didn't do anything. They were useless, so we put them on our Do Not Call, Return whatever list. Then, another plumbing company came out and fixed it. Our washing machine was clogging and backing up and we had that fixed that as well. They got new piping in there and some other stuff got taken care of. We've been mostly happy with AHS. We used them four times, $75 each. I'm sure if we had to use four plumbers, that would have been $1,000. So, we've broken even with them.

    Our garage door opener stopped working and it was making some crazy humming noise. So, we had to unplug it. The guy came, assessed it quickly and determined that it was something that was likely not going to be covered by American Home Shield. So, we ended up having to spend $500 to get our garage door opener replaced. We have difficulties every time we submit a claim to AHS. A lot of times, the customer service agents that are taking the claim information are most likely English as a second language people. They are very hard to understand and they don't always understand you. They also do not listen to what you're saying. They are trying to follow their script, which I understand is important for liability purposes, because I am an attorney. However, if they can't assess the situation while still using their script, it makes for a very frustrating conversation.

    I don't know how many times we've had promises made to us that were not true or not followed through on. And it's still debatable. We have a claim right now for our garage door and one for our ceiling fans. Summer comes and you start using things that you don't normally use, and then you find out that it's not working. But this is a trial to see whether or not we're going to stay with American Home Shield because we've had so many problems over the last year with getting things done at home.

    My husband has decided that he's no longer calling American Home Shield. He's only going to be using the online portal. So, that's good. I understand that they're hiring contractors to come out and do the work. But the garage door people scheduled an appointment without even checking to see whether or not it was a good time for us. So, it ended up being on a Sunday. The time was 12:00 to 4:00, which was perfectly fine because we would be at a church by then and back at the house. But on Sunday morning, we were already in church and we got a text message that they were on the way. I didn't see the text message because we were in church and we don't answer our phones while we're in church.

    We missed them and we had to call 15 numbers to try to track down this company because the number they were texting me from was not the number to call. They did not include the telephone number in the text messages that they had been sending us, even though it had told us to call them. It ended up not being an issue because they were just trying to see if they could come out early. But those are things that could have been avoided if there had been more communication when the appointment was scheduled. I don't even know what the name of the company is that’s coming out for the ceiling fan. I got a random text message from a random telephone number that told me that they're coming on Saturday.

    Tightening up AHS’ systems and processes and making sure that they are vetting their customer service agents to make sure that they're going to be comfortable speaking with English-speaking clients would be very helpful. Because if we can't communicate at the start, and then we have a lack of communication when the vendor gets assigned, and people don't know what's going on with what can and cannot be done within contracts, it is very frustrating.

    My husband called and got our contract renewed. He upgraded our plan because that was a whole fiasco last year. My husband told them what plan we wanted and they told us what it would cover. That was what we wanted and they didn't assign it. And then, they dragged out the investigation process for a good three to four months. I was a high-risk pregnancy and I didn't have time to keep up with it, so we let it go. But it's extremely frustrating to not know what you're paying for. The customer service is telling you one thing and it's not true.

    When my husband upgraded the plan this time, AHS told us that it would take effect immediately. So when we called to make the claim, they said we couldn’t make that claim right then. We would have to call back in a month. My husband was completely irritated and he's still trying to decide whether or not he's gonna pull the plug on this whole situation. We have three houses and they've all been covered by American Home Shield. By far, this is probably the worst experience that we've had when we were living in Kansas, our rental property and our home that we lived in then, which is now our rental property. We had this one guy come out to fix our dryer in our house and then, he disappeared for a month saying that he was waiting on a part. We ended up having to track him down and he finally showed up with a part. He ripped off the labels on our dryer and said he was going to order that and he never showed back up.

    The services that AHS is offering are incredible. It's just that there's a lack of communication or follow-through, and getting things done is not easy. In the long run, it may be saving us money but time is money for me. I'm an attorney and me spending an hour on the phone with AHS cost me $250. If I had spent the $250 plus the $75 that I paid in the deductible, I could probably have fixed whatever the issue was without them is the reality. But when you are a homeowner plus you have rental properties, it feels good to know that you have security in the fact that you can pay a deductible and have somebody come out because we don't live in the same state as our rental properties anymore. So, the peace of mind is what we're paying for. But at the end of the day, when you have to make a claim, it's not so peaceful.

The tech knew exactly what was wrong with the dryer and he had it fixed within 13 minutes. The whole thing was taken apart, he fixed the pulley, and put it together. It was quick, easy, and on time.

    I also recently did a claim for my air ductwork because there were some problems. I called the air duct company and they said that they were not scheduling on the phone and that their headquarters would call or email me. I waited that day and I got an email the next day from American Home Shield saying that my appointment was for Tuesday. I made the claim Wednesday last week.

    Today, the technicians came and asked if the furnace wasn't working. I told them it was for the air duct. The inline fan was not working and I was not getting cold air up to my bedroom. They said, "It says furnace for us, so we're gonna have to reschedule.” But I told them that I already waited five days. They ended up looking at the problem but they couldn't fix it. They said they were gonna call American Home Shield to notify them of what was gonna happen then reschedule. On one hand, everything was smooth with Lucas Appliance. The common denominator for these two companies is American Home Shield. The American Home Shield experience is great but it's a different experience with the individual service provider. It's almost like luck of the draw based on who you get.

    My heat wouldn't come on. The tech assessed the situation. I have a zoning system so I have one system and two thermostats. The zoning system had shorted out. The tech said he could mess with it and it would come on but then if it cut off, it wouldn't come back on again. I was very impressed. American Home Shield approved the repair and the techs were out again in about three days and I haven't had anymore trouble since then.

    I've only been with AHS since the 1st of February but I've had three claims in that short period of time. They've always taken my call and have always referred somebody to us really quickly. They are very professional about getting with us and setting up a time. It was convenient in checking things out and approving things in a timely manner. What they contracted with me to do, they have done.

    Everything that has been stipulated in our contract with AHS has been honored. I’ve never had an issue. I pay the $75 deductible, the techs come out and fix it. It’s been wonderful. The only issue is not anybody's fault right now. It took a little bit longer than I would have liked. But knowing that our current supply chain is extremely messed up, everybody is waiting for parts. But they let me know that. So, that’s even more satisfied I was.

    I had some issues with the range. It came with the house that I purchased and it seemed to be fine when I was going through the walkthrough. They gave me the home warranty, so I used it. Service Plus came out right away and they deemed it not repairable. American Shield said they would replace it. They sent me an email saying that I could pick out the stove, or some cash, and I picked the stove. However, I've never heard anything else from them. It’s going on for two weeks now. I have not contacted them yet. I've been busy with a lot of stuff ‘cause I just moved. But I would like for it to be resolved. I thought they were moving pretty quick with it at first. Now, I don't know if there’s a third-party company or somebody that’s supposed to come and take care of the actual replacement that's dropped the ball. That should be looked into.

I always say that they really need to have a home warranty and we have been very happy with American Home Shield. The one time we let it lapse, we wished we hadn't. Recently, a technician came out for a ceiling fan that was having electrical problems. We had turned the light on and it started flashing and making a sizzling noise. The technician took it apart and said that he saw one of the wires had popped off. He reconnected it and checked the light switch as well. He said everything looked good and it's been working fine since.

    I had service calls for my oven and for my furnace. I did the claims online and the process was simple enough. Everyone was easy to work with. On both times, the technicians took care of the issue on the first call. We've been very lucky. The only thing I had an issue with was when I made the claim for the furnace, the site wouldn't let me put in what the problem was. I selected furnace. We had a gas leak with it. It would have been nice if that was an option to select. I ended up calling American Home Shield. Another thing was the first person who called me said they couldn't be there until Monday. There has to be a better way of prioritizing calls or issues like that.

    When we had American Home Shield in our old house, they sucked. I actually emailed the CEO to get something resolved. The good news was when that happened, he responded and got the issue resolved. But I never should have had to escalate it like that. Other than that, I told people that are buying homes to invest in American Home Shield. Over the years, it's been a good value for the money.

    Submitting a request for service is easy because it's been online. I just need to make a request and I need someone to come in, no problem at all. The system works very well. The difficulty is I did have a problem a year or so back with somebody that AHS sent out and getting ahold of them on the phone is near on impossible. I get the impression that there’s nobody left at the base to answer the phone. We all use the Internet and we're all very grateful for it. But sometimes, it's nice to talk to somebody, and that has not proved to be very successful. But it doesn't matter because ultimately, the jobs get done, the repairs get carried out, and we're off and running again.

    Recently, my AC unit wasn't functioning very well so I checked it and saw there was an ice buildup, which involves having to turn the air conditioning off altogether. I put in a request online to American Home Shield. I received a call back later that day. The earliest possible appointment they could give me was within 48 hours. I received text confirmations. I received email confirmation when the people were coming. They arrived earlier on that particular day than expected, which was a bonus. The tech stayed here until he fixed the problem and everything was rectified. I'm pleased.

    I had a faulty water heater and I called that in. The process was better years ago when I could actually speak to a person. I don't like dealing with a computer. After that, someone calls you up and Home Shield have someone to fix the problem. For my claim, it was Royal Plumbing. A plumber got out here and he was a young kid. He got to the bottom of things and I worked with them. I'm glad I was there because I had to get the manufacturer of the water heater to answer questions that the plumber wasn't pushy enough to get. They would only give him half the answer. I told the plumber to ask the manufacturer, "How do you do this? How do you test this, and then, what should the results be?" He had to regurgitate that. We figured out that the problem came down to the water heater being the wrong unit.

    Royal Plumbing did everything okay and gave the information back to Home Shield. It was up to Home Shield to approve whatever had to happen with the water heater, either repair it or replace it. Home Shield denied my claim saying that this case was a pre-existing problem prior to me signing up for the home warranty two months ago. If that's their opinion, I don't wanna waste time trying to fight because they're gonna stick by their opinion which is just as valid as mine. My rationale is if the water heater is not working correctly then now I'm using my warranty.

    American Home Shield put in the email that the people that are assigned to the claim keep things up to code and they hope that everything will work. They were supposed to tell me that they denied the claim but they didn't. I heard about it by having to call back the plumbing company. What happened was I received a bill from Royal Plumbing. They said Home Shield denied the claim and the bill was showing what it would cost me if I wanted Royal Plumbing to do the job. Professionalism was thrown right out the door. I had Home Shield before and I was never declined a work order so this was new. I'm not too happy about this. If I had my way, I would get my 500 bucks back that I paid Home Shield to have this policy. Now, I have to take another route to get this water heater repaired.

    I called American Home Shield to see if there was a way to have the schedule on when the contractor was supposed to be out. The lady called AHS and said that the office was closed but she told me that since the service call was still on, I could call back on Monday and make arrangements for when we could meet. I was under the assumption that it was only gonna be one part but the other part arrived yesterday. The contractor is now waiting on another part, which was why they didn’t come out on May 8. But I didn’t receive a call or email. I talked to the contractor this morning and they’re scheduled to come back out this Monday between 1:00 and 5:00. The contractor was professional as well as the lady. She walked me through and explained about the part. I’m still waiting for one part for my microwave too and that’s supposed to be towards the end of the month.

    When I had AHS in the past, sometimes, they were hard to reach in case of an emergency. But that’s the cons with subcontractors. They don’t work directly for AHS. But now, there are more numbers. Or on the computer, you can set your profile and they’ll answer your text or an email confirmation. The service has improved and the notification has improved a lot within the last year or two. One of my coworkers, who is a single homeowner, was asking about AHS and I said that the $50 a month is worth it especially if you’re on fixed income or you got kids or caregivers, and especially with this COVID and what’s going on. It should give you a first leg up or if something breaks that’s major and you don't have that type of money in your savings or disposable income to fix it or buy something new.

    I called American Home Shield and submitted a claim by phone. It was very difficult. It was time-consuming waiting and holding. They sent me this thing and said that my contractor had been assigned and that contractor would contact me. But days and days went by, the contractor didn't call me. So I called the contractor and they said that as soon as American Home Shield had contacted them, that they had sent back to American Home Shield that they did not service Carteret County anymore.

    I called American Home Shield back and they didn't seem to be too concerned about that at all. By then, it's been a couple of weeks. Then they said they would get somebody else. The rep said she had found somebody else in Denver, Colorado. I said, "Ma'am, I do not think anybody is going to drive from Denver, Colorado to North Carolina to look at my garage doors." She said, "Let me find." Then she came back and said, "Yes. I guess they have two offices. They said they would do it."

    They sent me an email and said somebody was gonna be here. This delightful young man came out. He got it so that I can at least open and close the garage door. 'Cause for a year, I hadn't been able to open and close the garage door except manually by pulling them up and I'm just too old to be doing that. But he's got them so I can work them from indoors and that's all right 'cause I don't put a car in there anyway because everything else is in there.

    I've had AHS for over 20 years and I'm going to cancel because it's just not cost-efficient anymore. Over the years, I paid them over $10,000 and I haven't had $3,000 in claims. What I'm going to do is just put the same amount of money I gave them into an account every month and that'll be my repair fund. 'Cause it's so difficult to ever get somebody that you can actually talk to and file the claim with.

The contractor came in and fixed them all. The one who was here prior to them told me they needed to get ahold of their boss to come out and get the wire fixed. Never heard anything back. A couple of months went, I ended up forgetting about it. I went downstairs because we just had our child, and I was like, “**. That still hasn't got fixed yet.” That guy that came out with the Best Heating and Cooling, the people American Home Shield sent out, fixed it. He didn’t wait any time trying to call everybody. He had enough experience. He did it himself.

    The warranty has helped me out a lot in certain aspects, like with electrical. I'm a firm believer in warranties because you never know at the end of the day what you can be dealt. There is one thing I wish AHS would change though. I had a bad faucet and they went, "Well, it's not covered." I wish I would have known that before I got deeper into it and called them.

    We had a few plumbing claims. There were some faucets that needed service and a hot water tank that was making all kinds of noise. The techs came out and pretty much told me it had to do with the sediment. There was nothing that they could really do and from that standpoint, they recommended that I flush it. I did that and that didn't correct the situation. I have a feeling we're going to have to call in again because that valve where you do the flushing now has a steady drip. The hot water tank functions but it sounds like it's getting ready to blow out of that basement any day now.

    My only thought was, we call AHS and they call the contractor, then the contractor comes out there to be their eyes and ears. And they try to assume what's covered and what's not covered. I had to mention to the techs that it was for the insurance company to decide, not them. We have a pretty good coverage with AHS and I don't really need the techs to assume what is covered and what isn't. They should relay back what's broken or worn out or what needs replaced, then AHS will make that determination. For this last claim, the contractor, Fix-n-Flow, was fine for the most part. It's just that the tech made a comment to my wife that he didn't think that the repair would be covered because technically, the hot water tank is working. But it was not really for him to make that determination.

    Other than that, AHS has been pleasant and they've responded very quickly. Whenever we call them, usually within a couple of days, somebody's out here, if not on the same day. Aside from that, 90% of the contractors that have come out have done exactly what we needed them to do. We had some pipe leaks where the techs came out and fixed the pipe. We also had an attic fan that went out and was replaced. Everything with AHS has been straightforward, too. Month to month, we don't have to worry about price going up and when you're dealing with insurance, that's always nice.

    When American Home Shield recommends somebody, it's okay for the most part, except for the washer. The people didn't contact me or respond very quickly and it was something that I needed to take care of so I asked for someone else. But the guy for the washer did an excellent job. He even drove 20 miles, took out a part, and came right back. Then the person with the icemaker itself did a good job too. He just did the maintenance, there wasn't anything wrong with it.

    American Home Shield offered spring and fall maintenance on the HVAC system. I get it done every year so I tried their guy for the heating. Well, the one prior set off the breaker in my house and it was a mess. I was in my bedroom watching TV while he was down in my basement, 'cause our unit was there. The next thing I knew, the lights went out and the TV went off. I ran downstairs and asked what's going on. He said something wasn't hooked up right. He didn't know what he was doing. I had to call my electrician out who put in the box where all the fuses out were. He said nothing's wrong there.

    The other one was okay although he didn't do anything in particular. He was just downstairs in my basement for two minutes and looked at stuff. I asked him if he was going to clean the outside air conditioning unit because trees and debris get off into the housing. He said he was and I didn't go back and check him. But he wasn't here very long. It seemed like the other people that I had hired outright on my own took longer than the American Home Shield people.

    I'm not happy with the increase in the membership. It started out at 59.99. Then it went up to 64.99. But now, they got me up to 83.99. That's not okay. If I have to pay $84 a month and then pay $75 for a service call, I can put that money away for myself. I consider it reasonable at 64.99 price. I'm considering changing to another plan or some other. Other than those, I really haven't had any issues.

    My wife called American Home Shield to file a claim and submitted $75. They sent Gibson Air Conditioning & Heating. Up in the attic, the service guy said some kind of fan went out and he replaced it. He was super cool. He told me exactly what he did. He was professional, and I was like, “Wow.

    I had an AC problem and everything on the part of the tech was above average. He was excellent in his explanations of what he did for me and how he did it. He even told me how to fix another problem that I had. So, he was very thorough, professional, and very neat. But I find it difficult to submit a claim with AHS in a lot of issues. Before the AC guy came, I had another plumber come out. I have three bathrooms and if I call more than once about them, AHS would not combine them into one issue. I have to call three times to get three different things fixed, so that's a pain in the butt.

    Also, I called yesterday because I have a leak and this plumber hasn't called me. It's been over 24 hours. All in all, I'm in a new house and the home warranty came with this house, but if I had chose a home warranty, I more than likely would not have chosen American Home Shield because they don't cover the necessities of a new homeowner.

    The very first claim I ever made was for four items - a knob on my washing machine, my microwave, the rinse aid dispenser in my dishwasher, and the refrigerator ice and water dispenser. I paid the $100 for a person to come out and it was David's Appliance that came that time. The tech evaluated everything, bought all the parts, and came in about a week later. He fixed everything in a few hours. The microwave worked, he fixed the knob on the washing machine, he gave me a new dispenser on the dishwasher rinse aid, and he fixed the water and ice on the refrigerator.

    Then, I had a garbage disposal claim and the first contractor sent out said there was some sort of foreign object in it. I asked for a second opinion and they sent Kenbridge. Darryl, the tech, came in. He was very nice and I was very happy with his work. He got the garbage disposal working but it started leaking so he called up American Home Shield. He told them there were no foreign objects in there but that it was leaking so they're gonna have to replace it and they did. He put a brand new garbage disposal in, made sure it wasn't leaking, and cleaned up the mess. He did such a good job.

    The techs that AHS sent out recently were professional, on time, and thorough. But I almost wanted to discontinue the warranty because when I called on a service, I was told that it was not covered and I wasn't aware that it was not covered. Then, I got charged for the service call and I felt like it was a rip-off. But AHS told me that that's their policy. I understand that, but to charge someone $100 when nothing was done is a lot of money. That part of their policy should be reevaluated. If I called someone else, most of the time, service calls cost about $40. Then if the techs fix the work, then it goes towards the repair cost. Other than that, whenever I make a claim with AHS, it takes a good week for me to see a tech. If it's an emergency, then it's still between three to five business days.

    When there was water coming from the bottom of the washer, the response was very fast. A dispatcher got ahold of me and said that Ivan with ADA Repair would be calling me and he did. They said that they would be here between 12 or something and Ivan called me 20 minutes before. Apparently, my flooring gentleman who put the appliance back did not seat the draining tube deep enough into the drain. There was nothing wrong with the appliance itself. Ivan showed me exactly what the problem was, got the zip tie and secured it, and ran the cycle to make sure that that, indeed, is what it was, and all was well. I was very pleased. I hope I don't have any more problems but I have the security of knowing that I can just make a call to American Home Shield and an experienced provider will come out.

    We got a new water softener through American Home Shield. Just before we did that, the dryer was acting up. So, I decided to have the techs come out and take a look at it again. It was overheating. We weren't sure what was going on. They opened it and cleaned it up. There was something that wasn't quite working. The tech also found out that the lint had backed up in the hose going out, and we're going to have to get that fixed separately. It's been there for 40 years, but they used a flexible hose. The theory is that it's probably been punctured at this point and that's why it's starting to accumulate. We had the same problem a year ago that should have been fixed. They did a very good job and took that in.

    The next day, the washer was running, but it wasn't pumping water. I was concerned at the time that it had something to do with the changing of the water softener because the tech had to flush in that same area. He assured me that he hadn’t touched anything. So, I called that in the next day. That was a completely separate issue. As it turned out, the filter coming into the machine was clogged. The tech said that's not particularly an unusual occurrence over time. He cleaned it all up and fixed it and it's running fine. There was no direct repair other than doing that. It kind of questioned me if it is something that a user would be able to do and not really had to test the machine up and get behind it and unhook the hoses. I would have never figured out where it was even at or what it was doing. It was a repair that needed to be made. The good news was we can get the repair without having to change anything.

    I used to call in my claims to American Home Shield, but it takes so long to call in now. Nobody answers. So, I submitted my latest claims online. It was instantaneous and I got a callback from a local company really quickly on each one. The tech was really good. It was the same guy that came both times. He did the work reasonably and got it done right away and checked some stuff in addition to making sure everything was okay. He properly diagnosed it and made sure it was running. He told me what the problem was. Even when he was done and signed it, he stood there a while and watched it to be sure everything was still working fine. So, he did a nice job. My experience was quick and efficient and I was satisfied.

    I go online and place the order that way and pay my service call fee. And then whoever the contractor is tells me if I have a portion remaining. For our recent electrical issue, the contractor was great. The guy did a fabulous job. What it boils down to is the previous owners did some funky stuff and broke off plastic into the GFCI outlet. And we had no choice but to have it replaced. Otherwise, you couldn't use the outlet in that bathroom.

    I've used American Home Shield on three other properties. Three of the properties were in Raleigh. And then I just added it to the new house that we just moved to here in Oak Island. The first one was a townhome I bought, and everything that I experienced there was great. That was also when the service call was only $35.

    We hadn’t used the spa in a long time and I couldn’t turn it on. We’ve lived here for six years but whoever lived here before rigged the spa so that the button to turn it on was over at the box where the timer is and not at the actual spa and it had fallen off. We tried turning the dial and it still didn't turn on. The guy found out that the breaker was tripped over a wall outside. He told us to stand back and he hit the pump. It was no good. So, he replaced that. He put the button back on temporarily and he said that he was going to set the timer and to let him know if it works.

    We have two separate pumps for the pool and for the spa. I asked him if he could combine them and he said he couldn’t because the drain was underground. It would be a lot of digging stuff. There were little clips on the timer for the pool for the turn on and turn off and I told him that I didn’t know if I was doing it wrong. He said the gears were bad so he put new ones in. So, that works fine now. He said that moving the button back over to the spa where it's supposed to be wouldn't be covered. So I said it was okay. He was going to give us a quote to do that through their company. He asked me to check the timer for the spa but that still doesn't work. Maybe that needs new gears too.

    I called him back because he said he was gonna email me a quote to move the button over. He said that all we had to do was clear out the piping and put the button back over. But I never got the quote. I left a message on his voicemail and I told him that the timer for the spa does not work. I'm assuming that's covered as well under warranty. So that would probably have to be another time he comes out and another $100 deductible.

    Also, when I turned on the spa, I noticed that one of the jets wasn't working and the bubbles that are supposed to come up from the bottom didn't work anymore either. I told my husband that I would wait a couple weeks because I didn't want to spend another $100 right away. I would put in another claim for him to come back out and fix the timer and also see what's going on with the jet and the bubbles. I'm assuming that's covered under the warranty. Moving the on and off button wouldn't be covered and that was fine. We were willing to pay extra for him to change that out.

    I was very happy with Daniel, the guy from the pool service. He was very well-versed in what he was doing. He was very professional and he was early to the appointment. I pulled in the driveway and he pulled right behind me. It was perfect timing. He's been to our house twice now. He was here two years ago and our pool filter was leaking. We kept trying to patch it ourselves using the Flex tape, which didn’t work and then my husband said that it was covered under the warranty. Daniel replaced our pool pump. We had a D.E filter and he said he could get one of those on Thursday but if we wanted the cartridge filter, he could get one on the next day. I said that I wanted the cartridge filter. It's a little less expensive but it's less hassle cleaning it. So we've got that. That was two years ago and that works great. We’ve also had the panel on the dishwasher replaced because it was under $350.

    When I turned in a call sometimes, trying to state the problem according to what American Home Shield have to check off is a bit off. I can't give enough details. But that’s from the past. I recently tried to submit a claim online, but this time it wouldn't take my credit card so I had to call them. The tech was timely and efficient. Everything was good.

    Sometimes AHS is slow to get around when something needs to be replaced. In the past, I had to have my air conditioner replaced. That took some time. And the contractor that I had tried to sell me a whole system when I kept telling him that AHS had to okay everything. Same thing when my heater went out. They tried fixing it but they couldn't, so they had to replace the heater. But that one took four weeks. And we were very cold. So, AHS is very good on the small jobs. But on the big jobs, they tend to slow down. Part of it, I understand. They're trying to get different bids. But if you're freezing your ** off, that’s not very good.

    We had AC tune-ups scheduled. One company turned up to do the inspection and the tune-up. They highlighted a few issues with the system that needed to be followed up. Another request had to be placed for somebody to come out. It turned out it was The Montz Company who came out and they had no previous information about what was wrong or what needed to be done. Fortunately, the gentleman from AHS left a note on a piece of paper so I knew what to ask for. There were two different companies that came out and the continuity could have been a bit better. The second company coming out trying to pick up the previous company's comments caused a delay.

    The gentleman from Montz turned up on time exactly as requested. There were a few items that were reported by the previous company when they did the AC inspection. He was here for about 40 minutes and managed to clear everything then he did a review where he showed me everything that he had done and the issues that were there. He was very impressive.

    As an improvement to cut down American Home Shield's costs, they would want to be right the first time. The first engineer comes out, does a tune-up, and finds there's an issue there. There should be communication to be able to do that repair there rather than scheduling two or possibly even three repairs. Other than that, American Home Shield is a very good value for money. I'm quite a busy person so having those reminders that come in that say, "You need to get this tuned up or you need to get this looked at," works really well. The online ordering is excellent too.

A year or two ago, a major Achilles’ heel in the claims submission process with American Home Shield was getting somebody on the telephone. But that has gotten a lot better. I was close to switching but they handled the claims process very well. They were horrendous with phone customer service but they improved it and so I’m very happy with them now.

    I had two recent claims, one for the circuit panel outside of the house, and then the other was for air conditioning unit checkup. Submitting them was good. But with my experiences, I am definitely gonna cancel. I'm not happy with their contracted vendors. Home Shield sent out a technician that was not thorough and professional. I paid $100. He was very quick and then in his report, he reported that he checked everything, and the levels were good, but that I needed a new unit.

    When I called into the Home Shield to complain, I told them I wanted another technician to come out 'cause I spent money and he was here less than 10 minutes. They said they would have to follow up with the technician to get his report first. His report came back with the same result and so they wouldn't give me my money back or send somebody else out. When I had the two quotes from air conditioning companies come out, they said that the levels were low and the unit needed to be cleaned. He was supposed to clean it. I ended up replacing it the next week. I'm very disappointed in that.

    Then the electricians that came out for the circuit panel were nice, but it took a couple of weeks to get them out. They said that they were gonna be recommending that we replace the panel and I haven't heard anything back from Home Shield. When I looked online, it said that the work order was completed, and that was another $100. I pay monthly. Now I paid $200 out of pocket that was wasted. I would not recommend Home Shield to anyone.

    When the guy from Fast Response came, he was telling us that it was something in the Freon line. I asked him about putting Freon and he said, “It's not gonna do any good. It's probably got a hole and we gotta find the hole. If we put it in and it starts leaking out, we'll have to come back.” He quoted me a price. He was going to work up the work order, how much a new one would cost. He said we’ll have to put new air, new furnace in. It was like $10,000. He said the AHS people would pay 3,000. Then I got a text message from somebody from Fast Response. I'm assuming that it’s this guy's supervisor. He told me he's working out of Indianapolis and he sent me a quote for $8,000. So then, I reached out to American Home Shield.

    I just didn't feel comfortable with Fast Response coming back into my home. Especially after the guy that sent me the email said that he was going to take American Home Shield out of the equation and he wanted to do it and all of this was in. I kept calling AHS but nobody would call me back. They kept saying, “We haven't sent it. We haven't gotten anything from them.” I got so upset. My daughters got on it. We had a three-way conversation with American Home Shield. First, they wanted to charge me $50. My daughter said, “No, she should get it for free."

    They had sent out somebody from AirRite and it was totally different from what the Fast Response people said. What the AirRite man said made sense. He said something about the motherboard and why it wasn’t going through and why it wasn’t cooling up. But they still hadn't sent me a quote on that. I’m waiting on AirRite. It seemed like AHS wasn't looking out for my best interest. I would not recommend them.

Smokey's Garage Door sent me a copy that they evidently invoiced to American Home Shield. I mistakenly thought that I was being charged an additional amount, but I was not. I just got confused.

    American Home Shield is a good company to have. They deal with my issues professionally and very promptly. I've only had one issue with the contractors and American Home Shield took care of it. Recently, the microwave was tripping the circuit breaker when I turned on my under-counter lights. They sent an electrician out who worked on the electrical panel. He was looking to see if there was something wrong with the circuit breakers and what the issue was that they were diagnosing.

    My water heater is not brand-new but the same part was going out all the time. Heros Plumbing replaced the part last year and they replaced it again in January. Then, they replaced it again last month. Either somebody needs to replace my water heater or they need to do something. Heros Plumbing said something about the pipe going up to the vent. It wasn't installed right by whoever installed the water heater and the carbon monoxide was not flowing correctly. They didn't charge me because they said that wasn't covered under my home warranty. So, they did it out of courtesy, which was very nice of them because I had already called them multiple occasions.

    Heros Plumbing was very professional and they're good. I was hoping that they would fix the water heater. It's been two weeks since the last time they were there and it hasn't gone bad. But I have to wait because the last time, it went out within three months. The service with American Home Shield has not been beneficial because I had another issue with plumbing. I called about three months ago. When we turn on the hot water in the bathroom, it vibrates loudly and you can hear the vibration throughout the water pipe inside the house. AHS didn’t approve because they said it just needed to be strapped on. So I’m very dissatisfied with that one. AHS never called me to let me know that it wasn't approved. I found out because I called the contractor.

    AHS was beneficial when I got my washing machine fixed instead of getting a new washing machine. Recently, I fixed the disposal myself, so the techs didn't have to fix the disposal when they came here. All they had to do was address the leak. The tech that came was very professional and nice. But he said that the leak wasn't on his work order.

    We faced an HVAC problem and submitting the claim was pretty easy and very seamless. Then Liberty scheduled directly with me and they were fantastic. They were on time and very professional. They hustled and got the job done. I've been very pleased with their work. But I've had a previous challenge in the past with a claim that I filed with American Home Shield where there was a plumber that we ended up using and then causing damage. I was trying to get a different plumber assigned to us to treat the claim but they only had one provider that worked the area so that was a bit problematic. So it seems like you end up being confined to the providers that they have and working in your specific area. If you end up having a problem with one of those providers for any reason or you're not satisfied with the work, I don't think there's many alternate options that they offer.

    We have a tankless hot water heater that still isn't fixed. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've tried to explain this to the plumber. We've had two plumbers and the second plumber said part of the problem is, because it's an older unit, it needs some parts put on it to help it clean itself out. American Home Shield denied that, so we still don't have a water heater that works all the time. Plus, they charged me twice for the service that was only supposed to be charged once. Finally, after five days, I got my money back. They also told me that I would be getting a phone call from the plumber and they would come out for a second time, but I haven't heard anything.

    It irritates me that everything is done through the Philippines. I don't want somebody from the Philippines taking care of my business. I'm sorry. All they keep telling you is, “Oh, we're sorry. We understand.” Well, they don't understand because they're not the one over here with no hot water. I don't get why people in the Philippines are taking the phone calls. When I asked them, “Can I speak to a supervisor?” “Oh, no. We can't do that.” When I wanted to talk to the accounting department, “Oh, no. We're not allowed to do that.” What kind of business is that?

    My granddaughter's marrying a Filipino young man on Monday. I have nothing against Filipino people, but I live as well as pay my bills in the United States. Things should be done in the United States. I'm without a job and they're paying people in the Philippines. Something's wrong here.

    We had some air conditioning work done and the techs were able to come out at the end of that week, which was fairly good for American Home Shield. It wasn't really that hot, so it wasn't a big deal. But the technician, Rick, pretty much saved the day. We've dealt with American Home Shield for many years and he was probably the best that we had. And we had three properties at one point where we had to do a lot of stuff. One issue took four months to resolve in the dead of summer and it was just terrible. So, AHS has improved some things.

    Other than that, they don't really care how long it takes for someone to fix the issue unless somebody complains and it would be great if they could somehow get into some more local companies. Their contractors are local-ish, but they're so big. There needs to be an option where you can get someone quicker, because all that the current policy does is help American Home Shield and the companies that they use. It's not helping the consumer who's paying the fee every month. When you can't get someone a little quicker than a week without air conditioning in Florida, it's not a good thing. At some point, there needs to be a cut-off point where if the techs can't get there within the week and fix the problem, then AHS needs to expand out to local companies that can come quicker.

I have to pay the premium but it's worth it. They have been good and I've been telling people about it.

    We kept getting disconnected with whoever we were talking with on the phone and we were about to email a supervisor some literature that said American Home Shield was supposed to cover what they were trying to make us pay for, and we got disconnected again. She never called back. So, we waited all day Friday and never heard from them. It was 6:00 already and it was the weekend, so hopefully they would call Monday. We got busy with kiddos and we were going to call today. I have no idea where we stand with our case. Meanwhile, our water heater is still leaking and broken. So, we're trying to get that fixed but we're upset about the whole process because they were saying that we would owe $1,185 for this stuff and what we saw that they should be covering.

    Larry, the guy who came out with the plumber and the plumbing service, was fantastic. We were having a different issue completely and he wanted to help us figure that out. He couldn’t put it on the call but he went above and beyond. We had a water consumption issue and no one could figure out what was going on. So, that intrigued him and he went out and looked at our meter, did things that he didn't need to do while we were waiting on American Home Shield. The plumbing company was amazing. Larry was trying to get us all the deals that he could get us and they said they have some discount if we use them. So, that part was great. On the other hand, we had the opposite experience with American Home Shield.

    We just bought this house and the air conditioner and the water heater were the two things that we wanted to keep the home warranty for. They were original to the house and we knew that they would need to be repaired or replaced soon. Our AC went out first. The first time, we paid the lump sum upfront for the policy and this time, we've been paying $67 month to month, which is a lot for us. My husband's a pastor and that's all the income we have. So, we're relying on AHS to be a good fix for us whenever those problems arose. Instead, you have to pay the $75 service fee for them to even come out and look at it.

    When our AC broke, we did the cash out option because AHS wanted to repair it and it was very broken. We have an AC guy that we know through church and he said that we were not leaking Freon and that we couldn't repair the AC anymore. We need to replace the system. It was frustrating because AHS gave us $400 for what ended up costing us $5,000.

    It's the same thing this time. Our plumber recommended replacing the AC instead of putting a band aid on a broken leg like we thought he was gonna say. And we still have to pay this huge amount of money for something that we thought was going to be fully covered. We should have saved our money and paid ourselves that much money a month because we're out hundreds of dollars and now $1,000. Everyone told us how good AHS was and how it’s beneficial and that we should have it. But AHS is not doing what it advertised or called to do.

    For every time that I've had a problem, American Home Shield sent someone and the problems were fixed. The recent tech was good. He solved the problem quickly. If I submit a claim online, AHS just automatically assigns someone. I try to do it online because when I call them, it's a complete disaster. And this is coming from a person whose main language is Spanish. The people that they have can barely speak English. You try to explain things to them, but they don't get it. They would not listen to you. They go by the script. I was like, “No, I'm trying to explain to you.” But they don't understand because their language ability is close to zero.

    And then the other thing was, I didn't have access to the account. They were having problems with the system and they didn't let us know. So, I tried to reset. I was just trying not to call because I knew no one would be able to respond to what I was saying. Finally, I got a guy. I was trying to explain to him, “Hey, I am not receiving the email to reset the password. And I know that the password that I have is the correct one.” “Oh, well, we don't have an IT department.” They're aware of the situation, but I don't know when it's gonna get fixed. I was like, “What? You have to have an IT department. There's no way. Whoever designed your webpage has to be able to help you.”

    I called another number. And a guy told me, "Create a new account, and what it’s going to do is gonna merge it.” I said, “That is not even an IT-secure procedure.” That blew my mind, coming from the IT world. I created a new account. It asked me for my address, and it merged the old account with a new one. I said, “First of all, you needed to let us know you're having this problem.” Send an email saying, “Hey, we're having problems. And this is how you fix the problem.” I was months and months without access. I was even going to cancel the policy because how can something so simple as logging in, I can't? Even if I am not an IT person and can see the problem, imagine someone that’s clueless about IT, they would not know.

    Our washing machine started to make squealing sounds. At first, I thought it was just something that a piece of an article of clothing was making. It continued to happen and continued to progressively get worse. At that point, we made the claim with American Home Shield. A repairman came out and did an inspection. He found out that there was a piece that supports the entire drum that was broken. That piece is no longer manufactured or available. The repairman said that the machine was not fixable.

    The repairman submitted his paperwork and we got a response from American Home Shield within 48 to 72 hours. They had seen the claim and it was being processed. They sent us a link to some washers through avenues that they have and it was supposedly for greater discounts. Unfortunately, none of the washers that we were interested in were on that list. We preferred to have a check to put towards the washing machine of our choice. We are now waiting on that check to be mailed to us.

    We had another claim with American Home Shield. A repairman came out and said he saw what the problem was. He sent it up through the chain of command at American Home Shield. American Home Shield's claim adjuster didn't agree with the findings and the claim was denied. There doesn’t seem to necessarily be much mediation just because it was the way they saw things even though neither myself nor the repairman saw it that way. They said, “This is the way we see it, so this is the way it is.” We were frustrated with this one. The process is more cut-and-dry.

It's a home that I've just moved into that I've had renovated. When I told them that, they said that a locksmith can take care of doing the change-out of the keys. I did not know that until they made me aware of it, so that was very appreciative. I followed up and used them once I moved in. There was a quick turn on scheduling someone.

    Requesting for a service is easy once you get in online and I've had no problems. I spent a good week and a half trying to get back into my account. It looked like I had to add all my service addresses and attach my username again. But once I figured that out, it went very smoothly. Normally, four seconds after you click the submit claim button, you know the service contractor that's coming and you have their phone number information in case they don't get in touch with you. A&E Services came out for the dishwasher and then, I had Realty Rekey. They came in the same week but both of them went exceptionally well. There were no issues and they were very clean.

    I try to do the service requests online but a lot of the follow-up has to be done on the phone. The last time with the dishwasher, I had to call AHS about replacement. They answered the phone within five minutes, so I was pleasantly surprised with that experience. Normally, especially in this environment with COVID and working at home, it's been some hours when you have to call. AHS is great for a house that has all the standard appliances. I wish they would offer some kind of plan for people who have pools or above-ground spas. I would switch everything I had over there.

    Some things we have done have been quick responses and quick turnaround times. Others just seem like it takes a long time to get approval for any type of parts or replacements. Plumbing, garage doors, electrical, all that stuff were always really smooth. The heating and air approval seem to be the harder ones and longer wait times. Most of the companies that come out providing that service in our area will not use American Home Shield because they say it's hard to get payment and hard to get approval for parts. We're limited on who we can use in our area. Like the electrical person that came out, he drove two and a half hours away and we have electrical people here in town. Our plumber had to drive an hour away too, which were all great people and I would recommend them any time. That's the only thing.

    We have a friend of ours that owns a Heat & Air place here in town and they had to drop American Home Shield just for not getting paid timely. That didn't really affect us, AHS has taken care of us, it's just sometimes, we'd like to use local if possible. With my recent claim, Danny Larcom Heating & Air took care of everything on their side. American Home Shield just didn't approve them to order the parts. That took a little longer than I would have liked, but I knew that the Heating & Air place had to go through the process of getting most of that stuff approved.

    Submitting claims is a simple process. But American Home Shield's contractors don't want to work. Two of their contractors, previously, cheated me. They took the money and then they said, “Oh, this is a problem. This is not the problem that the washing machine was leaking.” I told him I saw the water and foam out there. He said, “No, no, no. It is the pipe is leaking.” And he lied to me. I had to ask for a second opinion I had to call five times to get back.

    The previous one, he came and ruined my thing. He made me spend three weeks without a fix. And then the second opinion guy came. He said, “Yes, the washer is leaking.” He fixed it. AHS' contractors tried to shrug off the work, said it was not their problem. The rep pushed it to plumbing, plumbing pushed it back to appliance, appliance put that back to plumbing.

    AHS' contractors do not do a deep analysis. They just want to run away saying it's not their issue. They do not do a good job. AHS's contractor selection process should be very thorough because if the contractors are cheating people, it's a bad name for them. We would think AHS sent us a bad person. If there are some issues with the guy, just take them out of their list. The first washer dryer guy who came cheated me and wasted almost my three to four weeks. And then a good appliance guy came. He said, “Yes, it's a problem with the gasket. I will change it.” He changed it and the problem was fixed. Spartan Plumbing coming was very nice, and the tech was a very good person. He did the right thing.

    I had trouble with the air conditioner before and the ductwork had to be changed. However, American Home Shield didn't want to cover it and there was no other way of having it done since it was an older model. With that, I was going to cancel out after all these years. But then finally, they gave me some credit on it on the extra money that I paid so it helped me out a little bit and I appreciated that. Recently, the AC didn't seem to work in conjunction with the thermostat. Appalachian Craftsmen checked everything over even the filters. It's working okay now. They did the original installation of the air conditioning. They're a very nice company, I prefer them, and I wouldn't want another company to come out.

    My water heater was making this really loud banging noise and I made a claim for it on the 21st. AHS assigned Alpha Omega as the contractor and I called them. They had a guy come to my house within 30 minutes which was pretty cool. He told me that my water heater is 30-plus years old and it needs to be replaced. The gas control valve is not functioning properly anymore. It's hard to stay lit so we have hot water intermittently and it still makes the really loud banging noise. He submitted a request to AHS.

    That Friday, I called to find out if there was any traction on the request and was told that the people were out of the office so I won't hear anything until Monday. I waited until the following Friday and I called again. AHS denied the guy's claim and sent it out for a second opinion. I'm not very happy with AHS over that because the water heater is no good. Another thing was the gentleman that I spoke to that day told me that Alpha Omega requested a second opinion. I called the Alpha Omega and that guy seemed very upset because he said he did not request a second opinion and said that he recommended the replacement of the unit. AHS lying bothered me.

    The technician from the second contractor, Van Allen Plumbing, now turned in his quotes saying the same thing that the water heater needs to be replaced. He called me back afterward to tell me that it was approved and now, I'm in a holding pattern waiting for a water heater. In the meantime, since the 21st, I've had hot water intermittently. It's really frustrating if we don't have any hot water in the early morning because it's not warm. There's also the loud banging noise and because of it, everybody thinks the unit is gonna blow up. I'm happy with that whole process. It has dragged out longer than it should have. It's irritating. Did the contractor charge too much money to do a new one? If that's the case, then why does AHS use them? That bothered me. I'm just sitting here waiting in limbo.

    The spa emptied itself. It wasn't climbing for a couple days 'til it got hot. When the pool person came to service my pool and turned it on, it started leaking and spraying out from the motor and the prime area. We thought the motor burned out and he told us to keep it off until I get somebody out here because this will drain my pool. I had issues with the spa equipment too but I can't check it until I have it looked at for leak detection and American Shield does not cover that. But the pool person was very well-versed and polite. He changed out the gasket of the pool. He was very thorough. He was on time. It was a very good experience. Also, American Home Shield scheduled the service around my schedule, so it worked out fine.

    We've had a couple of different guys come out over the couple of years we've been here and you can tell when they're knowledgeable or not. The tech that came out for the dishwasher had a lot of knowledge and a lot of science and helpful information. So we were definitely happy with him. Unfortunately, this is the fourth call-out we've had on this dishwasher. He looked it over and he explained things to me, but there was not a whole lot we could repair. But he let us know that American Home Shield also gives us the option to sometimes cash out or get money for a replacement. He let us know what our options were while giving me the science on what was wrong with the thing. Also, it was pretty quick and easy to submit the claim online. But I wish I could get the technician that I liked before we go to another company. Because every time we've called out for something, we always get somebody new every time. Other than that, everything's been good.

    A lot of times there's an English barrier. I only speak English. So, sometimes, that's a bit frustrating to understand some of the folks on the phone. But that's my biggest complaint. The company had to replace the whole furnace, which was odd. But that's what they needed to do. However, I had to pay $830 out-of-pocket because they said they had to do modifications, which meant when they removed the furnace, they had to cut pipes, and then reattach the pipes. And for some reason, the warranty didn't cover that.

    They couldn't repair the furnace. It's like fixing the engine in your car. You can't fix the engine without removing spark plugs, wires, and all the stuff that’s in an engine. But then, they charged me for all that extra stuff that was part of the repair. That was a bit much. But I didn't have time to argue about it because I was busy and I needed to get it fixed. And I wound up paying $830. AHS should have reimbursed me for that, or part of that, because it was all part of the furnace being repaired. Other than that, the claim turned around within a couple of weeks. Everything, back-and-forth, worked out well. I'm gonna use that contractor in the future.

    American Home Shield is a third party to initiate contractors to come out and work issues, and they do that fairly well. The cost of subscription is less than the cost of repair for major issues. But they could do improvements in the process time and the trust between the contractors and the company. For instance, if one contractor is assigned an issue to resolve that when one contractor says that the issue is not fixable and that they must proceed with replacing a unit that they trust that the contractor is telling them the truth and that they are experts in the field. But it took six months to almost eight months to fix a dishwasher when the first contractor indicated that they had done all that they could and the unit was not repairable. It took three to four contractors with more than one, second opinion or third opinion, to proceed with that process.

    Techs did some diagnostic testing on my AC to try to see if they could figure out what was wrong with it. It was determined that there was not any kind of cooling liquid in there. It wasn't keeping any in it. The AC wouldn't keep the charge. They said that the unit had to be replaced because there was something wrong that couldn't be replaced for the unit itself because of its age. I got a new unit put in and had to have new coils put in as well. Now, everything works perfectly. American Home Shield has been really good.

    I have a hard time understanding the reps taking the call for service requests. It's kind of frustrating sometimes because I would have to keep repeating, they would be saying the same thing over and over, and I could kinda get aggravated with them. I had one bad experience with one of the ladies and she hung up the phone on me. I was very upset about that. I called back because I never got through concerning my situation and it was a guy that next answered the phone. I told him what happened and he told me he was so sorry that happened. He was able to give me the correct information and he did a good job of handling it. That was very nice of him.

    Other than that, the companies American Home Shield assigns do a good job. I had an issue with the showerhead that All American Plumbing came out for and they did a good job. The plumber identified the problem right away and fixed it. I liked the guy because he's like a well-trained person and he was an older gentleman. I'm sure he had been with the company a long time so he had a lot of experience. Everything is working fine right now.

    The water heater went out and it leaked water all over my house, the hallway and a little spot in my closet in my master bedroom. It also went into the front bathroom and it messed up the floor in there. This house was built in 1981 and it looked like it might have been the original hot water tank. But the service guy got in there, found things that wasn't up to code, and that was wrong. He said that if he'd pull all this out and put the new in, the water heater would be up to code and we'd be good to go. That was what he did and I was quite pleased with his work.

AHS said that would submit the claim and the contractor would contact me. The tech said he was would put a new outlet in and he showed me what the old one looked like.

    We had a problem with the icemaker and submitting the claim was pretty simple. The service went fairly well but it was a little bit lengthy in the time to resolve. There were some issues with the tech being able to get the part and there were some things where it was on backorder, so that took a little while. But he was very communicative with regards to informing us of delays. He was also listening to some of the information I had about troubleshooting and different replacements that had been done prior to him coming out, in order to get to the final resolution, which was satisfactory.

    So far, we've had a couple different claims with AHS and two of the three claims have been resolved to satisfactory level. The third, we're still waiting for the final resolution. We had a dishwasher issue and the claim went through. The service agent came by and it was determined that the dishwasher was not serviceable, and we had to get a replacement. I had some problems with one of the previous places I tried to buy the unit, so that was on me. But we finally got a replacement and we submitted the information to get reimbursed. And we're still waiting on that process. Other than that, we would be interested in extending the home warranty on this home and potentially getting one on our primary home.

American Home Shield had a technician out here the next day. We thought we got it repaired that day. It was working. It was on that Wednesday but on Sunday, when we got ready to let it down, it did the same thing that it was doing before. So, I had to call the technician back. It was a different issue supposedly when he came back. So, based on that and the age of the garage door opener, I told him that I wanted to replace the whole garage door opener. Everything's working fine now.

    I had a lot of past experiences with the company. I've been with American Home Shield for a lot of years. It all worked out, but sometimes, they're kind of hard to work with. I had some experiences with air conditioning units and having to wait for parts. On one event, we had to wait for like two weeks to get a part in.

    We had a refrigerator issue and Sears came out. They were timely and showed up the day that it was scheduled for, so I thought they were good. I can understand the scheduling challenges. I was out about a month or so from the time that I called to schedule, so that was understandable. Also, there were a lot of technicians that they sent out. It wasn't the same guy for the same problem.

    However, every time I'd call, my claim was going to be processed to whatever next level decision needed to be made. No one ever called me back. I had to call and then I got the same thing. After the third call, the rep finally said that there's a 21-business-day period that they have to evaluate whether they can find the part or not, and then they will evaluate if they will replace the item. Well, I had been waiting almost a month at that point in time and finally, someone told me. I made several calls to Sears, and they were going to evaluate it, then their evaluation would go to American Home Shield.

    It could have been better that in the beginning, those reps were trained to say, “This is how the system works. This is what we're up against. We were able to locate two of the three parts. We can't locate a third. If we can't locate the third, this will be your option. But per contract, we have that 21-business-day evaluation time.” I would have understood. More transparency would have been better. Then I didn't call for 21 days. I called on the 22nd day and then things moved along. However, it was really frustrating and annoying having to find time and it's a two-hour wait whenever I'd call for the next representative. But there were some times that the lines were not busy and someone picked up within a minute of my call.

    I'm thinking that American Home Shield is telling Sears to tell the customers this in hopes that they'll go away. Also, I got the sense that the reps that I was talking to wanted to help, but their hands were tied and didn't wanna lose their job. They were going down a company Q&A. If client says this, respond with this. So, whoever the executive is in part of that training should be much better in training people that really wanna do a good job for other people instead of having them lie. But then American Home Shield fulfilled their part of the contract so I am now happy. They followed through on what I had signed up for.

    The contractor came out and repaired the stove. One of the eyes had gone out so they replaced that piece. Then, on the stove, the little sensor that comes on when the stovetop was hot didn't go off. So they replaced that piece too. The technician talked to us a little bit and he was quick. He was done in less than 30 minutes. After he repaired it, he made sure it came on and everything worked. We haven't had any trouble since then.

    Sometimes there just needs to be a little bit more explanation. We had put in another call and it could've been explained a little bit more in detail. Even at that, we still ended up getting it worked out and everything turned out fine. The rep just went a little bit fast so I called back a second time to reconfirm a few things. The second agent took his time and it just flowed more.

    I called Chesapeake Comfort Systems originally for ductwork because my daughters aren't getting air through their vents and for a leak in the condensation line. Then my thing kept freezing outside. That was strange because it didn't start doing that till they came over. The tech told me that I needed a sensor and a board in my outdoor unit replaced and he did it. He came out and he had to get another one because that one didn't work. Then he said I was out of coolant and it’d be $900 to fill it up. I asked if there was leak in it. He tested for leaks but he didn't see any.

    So, then I had a service. The tech came and said there were tons of leaks inside and outside. There was no point in trying to fix it and there was nothing he could do to keep it going because it was so messed up and it would just keep leaking out. I just have to get a new one. I called American Home Shield and asked what was going on. Every time that he will come out, something else is going on, and something's going wrong. They said they need to verify that it's actually leaking so they sent him out again. He kept saying that there were leaks inside and outside, that I have to get a whole new system, and he got to talk to his boss about the cost. Then it just kept going around and around with them.

    I said I wanted a second opinion because this isn't making any sense and I was getting really frustrated at this point. American Home Shield didn't wanna give it to me yet so they sent out Chesapeake Comfort Systems again, and they were gonna measure my thing for the indoor unit only because they said they could fix the outdoor unit, even though I was told there was no way they could do it. They could just do a couple of things to keep a little bit of coolant in it, but it would still be leaking. All of a sudden, I was completely 100% out of coolant and my AC stopped working, when I was told I had a couple pounds left just a week prior. I begged that I needed a second opinion.

    Finally, Vic’s Heating and Cooling came to my house. They said I needed a whole new system and they would put in that I need a whole new system replacement. Then I called them because I didn't hear from anybody. They said they told AHS what was wrong and it was something different from the first people and they got kicked off the ticket somehow. I called AHS and asked about it. They told me that what Vic said was the same thing as the first company said. I said no because the first company only said the indoor unit needed to be replaced and that they would just put coolant and a couple of nuts and bolts on the outdoor unit. They also tried to tell me that I had to pay them three grand out of pocket because AHS wouldn't cover my outdoor unit, that I had to go through them to get my unit, which was not right. I would not do that with them and I would rather have a second opinion. AHS said okay.

    I went down a line of a bunch of different people through phone redirections and I finally got ahold of a woman who was gonna help me. Her name is Jessica. I've got emails from her. She's been contacting Vic. He's been talking to her. I've been talking to both of them. I spoke to another woman today who said that nobody's heard from Vic, he hasn't put in his full diagnosis, and that he only put in the outdoor unit needs to be replaced, not the indoor unit. She said she needed to hear that from Vic. I was put on hold and she called him, then left a message. She told me that she couldn't get ahold of him, so I sent Vic a text message asking what is going on and to please help me.

    He called me personally and told me that he put his information into them twice. He said the last woman he spoke to was like a squirrel and she didn't know what was going on. He thought that was where I got messed up down the line and that he would call AHS again and speak to somebody and hopefully get this going soon. I told him to please do that because it's about to get really hot outside and I've got kids at home doing virtual school. I've been going through this for a couple months now. I had to go to Lowe's to buy a $300 window unit and it's only heating the portion on my house ‘cause we got a 2,100-square-foot one.

    In my attic, my AC had a fan that was just running in there. I talked to another guy and he was telling me I need to get it checked ‘cause it could have burned up. One of the wires had burned. It was very serious. I talked to my sister and she said to use my Home Shield. I found out that I had two Home Shield accounts, so they canceled one and I kept the main one. The young guy that came out did wonders for me. Now the fan is actually working and shutting itself off because it wouldn't stop running and that’s dangerous. He said one of them had already blown out. He was excellent. It's just that sometimes, American Home Shield is busy, and you can't really get through. You just gotta have a little patience and wait them out especially when it's something that's worthwhile waiting for. Overall, I was very satisfied.

    I have a crack in my sink. A plumber came and he said that if it was a plumbing thing, like a drain or a faucet, he could do the job. He didn't touch anything and just looked at it. He then said he couldn't do it and left. That was a waste of money. I called Home Shield and told them what happened. They said that the plumber came out so I couldn't get my money back. If there is another issue in the future, they can come out. But they didn't fix the issue that was there so why would they come out again?

    We were going to have to have a construction project. Our contractor was going to have to cut the countertop to get the sink out. I called Home Shield and they said they don't cover that. If it was a plumbing issue then they would cover it. But because it's a crack in the sink, the rep said that was considered maintenance. I got frustrated and dropped that claim after that.

    Until this issue, I've been extremely happy with Home Shield. They are amazing. I can call and within 48 hours, I'll have somebody calling me and telling me, "Let's set up a time to come out." You can also go online and tell Home Shield what the problem is. They take care of the rest. Everything's so easy. If they can't fix something, they replace it. I am satisfied and I tell everybody, they need to have Home Shield. It's just a great value and you can't beat it.

    I thought all my appliances were covered, and yet, there is no dishwasher choice for a problem like a leak or just function on the dishwasher. I'm not happy about that. It's something that might make me want to look for another company. Then when submitting a service request, sometimes online doesn't cover the subject matter that I have a concern with so I usually phone it in and make sure it sits in the right box. Sometimes I can't tell which box to tick in the choices. I wasn't sure if the leak was at the dishwasher or the sink. That's what made me phone in because it was a gray area and American Home Shield didn't clear that up for me. We took it as a leak at the sink itself because of the faucet problem I had.

    The technicians that came out were very polite and on time. They notified me about coming like they said they would. They went the extra mile when I asked them to let me know they were in my front yard. It allowed us to put our big dogs away instead of getting to face them. The guy had a trainee with him. Both of them acted very professionally and did a very fine job. They verified my dishwasher was fine, all the hookups were good, everything was tight, and working properly.

    I hired them for secondary work to be done and they did that the same day also. The cut-off valves under all the sinks in the house were not installed in any of lines when the house was built. I took the responsibility as the homeowner to install those so now, American Home Shield will have less to do. The service call turned into a $500 service call, and I was only out of pocket $100. That was quite pleasant. The additional work I had them do for me was over $400 worth of plumbing work in the house separately from what American Home Shield could do.

    Also, American Home Shield has been able to provide local service. I don't have to wonder who they're going to call or if I'm gonna have to get stuck paying the bill upfront and they'll contract the bill, they'll get the guy on the phone, make payment arrangements or reimburse us. I've had immediate responses pretty quickly from the local folks within 24 hours usually so I’m really thankful that I have contract with them. I would just have to contact a plumber and deal with my dishwasher on my own.

It would get warmer, but still not fully drying the clothes, and it's pretty much a newer dryer. The guy came out. Based on where it was located, he couldn't pull it out. He thought it was the sensor so he cleaned that. Then he said everything else was lining up properly and he gave us instruction on trying to timed dry instead of auto dry. We took his advice and it seems to be working better than it was before. I have another claim in, so we'll see. But so far, my experience with American Home Shield has been very positive.

    We did a simultaneous oven repair and dishwasher repair with AHS and I paid separately for them. They have an easy online process and there was a wide selection of options. I wish is that you could sort of explain what the problem was but since that part of the service ticket doesn't go to the contracting agency, it makes sense not to have it. After I submitted the claim, the techs came out within at least a week and the service was relatively quick. They were able to repair the dishwasher that day. Unfortunately, they had to order a part for the oven and due to everything being in short supply at the moment, that took about two weeks for us to get it. Then we had to schedule out about another week in advance for them to come back and install it, which took five minutes to do. All in all, we're pleased with AHS and that's why we continue to have a contract with them.

    My electrical circuits went out in half of my kitchen and instead of just me normally doing my due diligence and taking everything one step at a time, I instantly called American Home Shield. Hopwood Electric came out and snapped my breaker, that was all it was. Also, my bulb went out in the second layer of my ceiling fan and I've never changed the bulbs in that layer. They showed me how to change it out. They took the bulb out and gave it to me so I could take it to Home Depot. I've done business with them a couple of times when I have put in claims through American Home Shield.

    It's just having this warranty is a waste of money. But it's a security that I choose to pay for. Over the years, when I first started with them, a site visit was $25 regardless of what it was that I had done. Now, the way they have it is broken down into $75 based on whatever feature or service. If they come out to look at the icemaker and the sink, that’s two different service calls. That’s $150. I can go on YouTube and figure it out myself by then and fix it for probably $5. I've been considering changing out and looking for somebody else. The value for what I get in comparison to the security and services that I receive are pretty much outweighed.

    If you're a new homeowner, it may be something that you may need. But with me being here as long as I've been here, I'd rather take the $75, put it in a deposit in a separate savings account, and I’d be able to pay for whatever I need to have done in this house. I won’t have to pay anybody $75 each time they come out to change a light bulb or to pop a breaker. I just don’t see the value for the money like I did when I first started.

I put in an order to fix for a repair and AHS contacted a different HVAC company. The guy came out and said that the problem was not in the compressor, but in the unit that's up in the attic. That thing has to be replaced and it's inaccessible. He couldn't fix it and then he left. I called American Home Shield back and the rep said it didn't sound right to him because he could get into the attic and see the air conditioner up there and get to it.

    We put in another work order and they contacted Strix. Their repairman came out and went up in the attic. He accessed the coil and opened it up and said that there's just one little valve in there that needs to be repaired. It's not the whole unit that needs to be replaced. He could fix it but he has to order the part. Then he left and put in the order for the part, and then it came in and a guy came back and fixed it. Now, it works.

    It was easy to submit the claim to American Home Shield for our washer dryer. But in the report, it came out different. Initially, Accord Appliance came in. But Steve’s Appliance fixed the dryer. AHS should stop using Accord. I had two instances that I had problems with them. Also, I'm having second thoughts about having the warranty because every time the contractors come out, I have to pay $100. And then if the first report is inconclusive, I have to get a second opinion and pay another $100. AHS should have choices on servicers for the area because they're contracted to only one, and now I have a problem with the second one here. I have a problem with my water heater right now.

    The second contractors gave us a very high quote on the repair that’s not covered by American Home Shield. They quoted me on a material that they said was 250, but I looked it up at Home Depot or Lowe's and it was only $50.

I got up the next morning and there was no water. I went out to light the thing and it lit. It ran for about 10 minutes then just stopped. Now it won't even light. I've been without hot water for a week. The techs are coming out today.

    The only reason I got American Home Shield was because I thought they took priority over all the other ones, but they don't. The techs were already here once and said they fixed the problem. I called the very next day and they said they couldn't get to me until Tuesday. I called American Home Shield and they said there was nothing they could do about it. This will probably be the last time I renew my American Home Shield. I've had no problem before this, but 10 days without hot water is ridiculous. I'm so angry. I pay $700 a year for this.

    My most recent claim with American Home Shield was a disaster. I put in a request for electrical service. I have four electric outlets outside the house that don't work. Now, had I known upfront that outdoor receptacles are not covered, I would have saved the $100 trade call and not put in the request. But American Home Shield is always pushing people to put in the request online as opposed to calling. Had I called, they would have caught it and said, “Hey, wait a minute, this isn’t covered.” So, I put the request in. The company came out. They called me in advance and said, “Okay. Exactly what outlets are there?” I told them, “I’ve got four outlets outside the house that don't work. Two of them are in the pool filter. One of them is at the back deck, and one of them is underneath the deck.” They said nothing to me about it.

    Then, they came out in a couple of days. The guy spent less than 10 minutes here, plugged that little thing in and said, “Oh, there's no power.” I said, “Yeah, I know there's no power. That's the reason why I put in the request.” He said they had to talk to American Home Shield and get approval from them, and he left. The next day, I found out it was denied because outdoor outlets aren't covered. I just thought the way that whole thing went down was really disingenuous. The electric company claims they had no idea they're not covered. Every contractor is different but I suspect they probably did.

    I called American Home Shield. First, I got the call center in India. The second time, I got the call center in the Philippines. We just went round and round. All they said was, “I'm sorry, it's not covered. And this is the section where it says it's not covered.” I read that section, and it’s very ambiguous the way it's written as far as the outlets are concerned. I understand there's a definition of what is considered home, and that's kind of buried in the beginning of it before it gets to the exclusions. It says it’s the area within the confines of the foundation of the house and the attached garage. But who reads that part? I don’t look at what's the definition of a home and decide, “Okay. Well, wait a minute, it’s not within the confines of the foundation of my house or the attached garage. So therefore, it's not covered.” It’s very vague.

    Nobody's gonna bother to put in a claim for something that they know right off the bat, on a technicality, is not gonna be covered. I threw $100 down the drain, and I was upset about it. I called. I got nothing. I called a second time because I got a message from American Home Shield saying, “Your claim is partially covered. Call the company.” I called the company, and the company said, “No. It's completely disallowed.” The call center just said, “Nope. There's nothing we can do. It's already been decided.” Then, I ended up calling again. After 30 minutes of going back and forth and me threatening to cancel my service, they promised me a $30 credit, which I haven't seen yet. They said, “We can't give you the $100 back. Because the company already came out, and we paid the company.” I get it but there should be more transparency, and people should know upfront what is not covered.

    So, my biggest gripe was the electrical claim. I’ve never really had problems with American Home Shield. I've gone back and forth on some things that I understand were big ticket items that they wanted a second opinion, or they wanted to fix as opposed to replace. I get that. But this whole electrical thing was absolutely wrong. Other than that, I was happy with the one where they patched up the ceiling. I didn't even know that patch in the ceiling was included. So, that was kind of a bonus. It saved me a couple of bucks from having to have my painter do it. Also, the pipe thing worked out really well.

    There was a leak that developed in the plumbing for an upstairs toilet and the contractor showed up right at the front edge of that appointment time. They were very professional. They had to saw through parts of the sheet rock and they took the time to clean that up and vacuum up any of the dust. They picked up after themselves much more than I may have seen in the past with other contractors. The guy also took the time, after doing all of his investigative work and everything else, to come find me and bring me around and show me and explain to me what the issues were.

    I did the claim via the website of American Home Shield and it was not difficult. But the specifics that were available on the website didn't give a whole lot of options. It could have been a little bit more specific but a leaking pipe was good enough to get what we needed out of it. A leaking shower, a leaking toilet or some form of plumbing leak may be different than some of the other options that they gave. I had to check Other. Still, the service has been beneficial. I have peace of mind in the sense that I'm not going to have to fork out a ton of money to get the fix accomplished.

    Someone was sent out for the first time for the washer and dryer and it was not helpful. After we complained, someone with experience from the same company was sent. He already knew what the problem was and he replaced the parts. Now, it's working perfectly and all the problems were resolved. I’ve had American Home Shield for almost six years and I recommended a little more than 10 households. They have the best customer service.

    I'm a little put out on my dishwasher claim in one of my properties because it was a couple of weeks ago that the contractor determined that the dishwasher was no good and they had to order a new one. When the replacement arrived last week, it was supposed to be installed but the people who delivered it don't install so I had to call back and try to get it installed. I'm currently waiting on it. It's been three weeks without a dishwasher for my renters.

    The washer was leaking when we ran it and it wasn't obvious to us as homeowners what the problem would be, so we called the American Home Shield. They dispatched the company quickly and the gentleman came and fixed it faster than I thought possible. I was pretty surprised. In general, home warranty companies use cheaper vendors and suppliers. And there's naturally going to be some that just underperform. But this vendor that AHS used on this particular call was a qualified professional vendor and I was quite happy with them.

    Aside from that, American Home Shield's claims process was simple and straightforward. We've used them several times and on the whole, they generally are reliable and willing to help. There were also a few people with American Home Shield that have gone above and beyond for us when I had an issue in the past, particularly over a vendor that was not very good. It took several calls, but eventually, someone worked through the company's bureaucracy to really help us out and I still think of that individual very highly.

    Not recommended. Waste of time and money. Customer service reading scripts with a punch of we are sorry but no actions. They charged me the premium payment and service fees ($75 per request) but not providing an acceptable service. They keep delaying the fix to let you fix it by yourself. The company enjoying wasting customer's time by putting them for hours on a phone call with customer services whose reading non-make sense scripts ends with the customer paid additional costs or do it himself. I spent more than 10 hours following up with my request until I decided to do it by myself which cost me less and save me time. They don't cover appliances in reality. They trying to let you wait forever or fix it by yourself since that's a part of the contract and the guidelines. Feeling bad to write a negative review but trying to warn others and maybe AHS respect their customers and provide the required support.

    There are times when I call in to make a claim to American Home Shield when I need to talk to a human being for one reason or another. It's an ordeal to try to do that. So, I would appreciate it if there was a better way to get out of the automated system and talk to a person without first paying my deductible. The issues that we've had with AHS have always been related to whether the contractors that they sent out were confident. There has been times when they've sent out several different companies with technicians that didn't have any idea what they were doing and it sometimes took three appointments before they got somebody out there who knew how to do a repair.

    AHS should do a better job of screening the contractors that they contract with. We had some bad experiences with some of the technicians that AHS sent although eventually, the repairs were made. But it was about the same with my previous company. It depended on what the repair was. Sometimes, the issue would get fixed the first time but often, it would take several different people to come out to be able to fix it.

    I had an experience with American Home Shield about 48 hours ago regarding my garage door opener. They sent the first contractor who was unable to fix it but I was very happy that one of AHS’ representatives called me back saying that the contractor filed a report stating that nothing could be done. I said that I'm an electronics engineer myself and there are ways to do it. The lady said that she was immediately going to assign me to a second contractor in my area. She was very nice and receptive and it was solved. This particular contractor was excellent and resolved the issue within 25 minutes. Throughout this procedure, AHS was in contact with me and they were very good.
