    I got a great response from AHS when I filed a claim. I paid my deductible and they took care of the rest. My HVAC area was icing up and the tech from Greenway Home Services told us that even though it's 70 degrees out, the unit is not used to going back and forth with the different weather temperatures. Then at nighttime, the weather drops and that's why it kept freezing up. He explained what to do and I've been doing it ever since. The unit hasn't done anything bad since then.

    Eagle Heating and Air recently came out for my HTG system. They’re just waiting for a part for them to finish it. But the good part about it was that they fixed it enough for me to have heating in this cold. I’m glad I signed up with this warranty when I did. It went up a couple of dollars since I got it. But it's still a reasonable consideration in case something goes wrong.

    The AC wasn't working and the guys that came out did an excellent job. It took them a while to do what they needed to do. But right now, we're not having any problems with it. We had a great experience with American Home Shield. One thing I like about American Home Shield is that it takes them a while to get somebody out there, but once the people get out there to do the service, all of the services that we've gotten through American Home Shield have been great.

    Our pool pump wasn’t turning on. There was no water circulation. The website of AHS was user-friendly when I filed a claim. You just go in, file the claim, click what's wrong, and submit your information. The tech called to find out what exactly was wrong and then he called and set the appointment up with me. He was excellent. He came out next today. He tried to find out in advance what could be wrong so he could bring the parts with him. In this case, once he investigated it, he had to go pick up the part. But he came right back. He was very professional and on time. AHS was really easy to deal with. It’s a good value for the money I pay. We always recommend others to use them.

    I had a claim on the heating unit and I did it early morning on American Home Shield’s website. They called me back a couple hours later to get someone scheduled. It was quick. At first, the unit wasn’t working but eventually, it started working on its own. But I had to call the tech out a second time because my house still wasn't heating. He came out a second time and it still wasn’t heating but then we got up the next morning and tried, and it started working. I may have to call them out a third time. But other than that, everything else was fine.

    Having American Home Shield gives me peace of mind. I'm not sure if it's always a good deal, but I do not have to worry about getting slapped with a big deal. The biggest benefit is not having to find a contractor. It's impossible to find a contractor today. Nobody wants to work. When I have a problem, AHS finds me someone. If the guy comes out and messes up, which I've had happen, they find someone else to come do it. They're really good with it. I have two contracts with AHS. Recently, the only two years old heater went out in our brand new house. The guy came out and pulled everything apart. He found a clogged pipe, shook it, cleaned it out and then the heat started working again. It was worth it because it was not giving me heat for five weeks.

    American Home Shield's claim process is pretty simple. They have a webpage if you don't want to talk to someone. You can just go through it, submit a claim, and check the boxes about exactly what you want looked at. I usually get, within a few hours, an email and a call. The only time I've ever had trouble is during the holidays. I had a heater break years ago and it took days. It's not easy to get someone to come out on Christmas week. So, I wasn't happy with them that week, but that was years ago. So, I've had time to reevaluate that it's really not reasonable.

    One of my favorite things about American Home Shield is they don't bother me. I don't hear from them trying to sell me additional crap. They don't do telemarketing. As long as they get paid and even if they don't get paid, they are not jerks about it. I had it where I didn't pay them, and I had an incident. I hadn't realized that I was like two months in the rears, and they still did the service and covered it. They just asked me to pay the fee first. I really thought they could have said, "You're screwed. You didn't pay your monthly fee." They still took care of it.

    We submit claims through an online form, then American Home Shield reaches out to the contractor, and so far, it's been 50/50 satisfaction. There have been a couple times where we put in a claim and haven't heard anything ever. They just canceled the claim that we put in with them. We said, "Obviously, don't want to come out. Forget it." The ones for our pool and for some electric work, we had to pay out of pocket. They needed to be fixed.

    This last time, there was a plug in our septic mainline and the guy called us right back as soon as the next business day happened. He showed right up too. I thought it was gonna be a huge ordeal of an issue, but it was 20 minutes and he had it fixed. It ended up being a basic clog and he just had to roto-rooter it out with a blade rotor. When we first got American Home Shield, I said, "If we have a problem, it'll be covered," but it's almost been useless for us. It seems like a lot of the problems we have, the company tries to weasel out of covering anything. This last time they came out, but we've wasted a lot of money filing other stuff that were denied.

    Our air conditioning unit kept running on and it wouldn't turn off. It wasn't blowing any cold air, and I was able to get it to turn off by switching it on and off. When a company finally came out and assessed the situation, they made it worse for me. They came out twice. The second time they came, I said, “Did you blow out the condensation line?” They said, “No.” There were no stains before, but after they did whatever they did and left, the water overflowed and stained all over my ceiling, which I still have and it's upsetting. I have to have the whole ceiling redone now, for which I didn't put in a claim or do anything about ‘cause I figured I'm not gonna get anywhere with that.

    On top of that, the company said that my unit needed a board at that point. I said to the tech, “Can you order that today, like right away so that I don't have to wait additional time for you to get the parts and all that and get approval?” It seemed like he was upset that I even asked him that. He said, “I’ll call it in when I get back.” I said, “Okay. Whatever.”

    We had a heater problem where that heater wasn't working either. We weren't using ac, but it was the furnace. The other furnace, the one for the bedrooms, was working fine before then it didn't work and I didn't know why. Until somebody else came out, we had no furnace in the bedrooms either, and it was the dead of winter at that time. It was freezing. The tech said that it needed a new board as well then I got a call from the owner of the business the next day. He said, “Well, we can't do it because it's too small of a space and our guy’s too big. We don't have anybody small enough to do it, so we're gonna turn it back to American Home Shield.” I said, “Okay. Great. Now, I have to wait again for somebody to come out and diagnose it and the whole bit.”

    Somebody else came out the next time, and it was Chris who's about 6’4” and probably 250. He's bigger than the other guy who came out, and he diagnosed the same thing. He was really good. He told us that the reason why the furnace for the bedrooms wasn't working was 'cause the gas was turned off, which I think the first tech did out of spite. Chris got the parts ordered and brought out a second guy who was training when he got the parts. But Chris was the one who went up in the attic and replaced the board. He's a big guy, and he did the work. I really respected and appreciated the work that Chris did, and I've only good things to say about him.

    My sales rep for American Home Shield is wonderful as well, and she's been very helpful for me. If I have issues, I can go to her and she's usually able to intervene. Sometimes she's able to get things done a little quicker, but it's still at the mercy of how the system works, which is the problem. Most of the vendors don't wanna be doing it because they don't get paid that much compared to a normal job that they may do. And then the system is that they have to give their findings to American Home Shield. American Home Shield has to approve it and let them know then they have to order the parts, and once the parts come back in, they have to make another appointment to come back out.

    The problem with the process is the timeliness is really bad. It takes way too long. If I didn't have a home warranty and I just called for service, I would get things resolved a lot of times in one day, whereas with the home warranty, it may take 10 days. My wife hates American Home Shield, but I'm a Realtor as well and I know what's happening from my perspective of being a Realtor.

    My furnace was no longer working and I had some gas leaks the week before. So the gas company came out and turned off my gas. Then I had to have a plumbing company come out there, find the gas leak, and fix the gas leaks. After that, the gas people came back out, made sure that all the leaks were fixed, and they turned my gas back on. The guy said that when they did all that, it made all the gunk mess with some type of valve that made the valve break.

    They had to order a piece then they came out a couple of days later and put that piece on. The guy said that the gas wasn't getting through the furnace because that piece is broken and since they replaced it, my gas was back to working in my furnace. I submitted this claim online with AHS and their website was very fairly easy to use. Then I received an email and a text message. So American Home Shield contact me and so did the company that came out. The techs I had were awesome. They were very easy to deal with, very timely and courteous.

    American Home Shield makes things easy. I don't have to do research on a vendor or a contractor. I just go onto the website and everything's taken care of. We had an issue with one of the lights in our house where it wasn't turning on and the guy came out two days later after I put the claim in. He fixed it within 10 minutes. We had one claim before this recent one and it was extremely difficult. Our thermostat stopped working and it seemed to be an older model. No one spoke English in the company that AHS sent us. And every time we called, we got a different person on the line. It took about two months to get our thermostat working. It was frustrating but that was not American Home Shield’s fault. It was the contractor company. So, you can't win them all.

    The plumber was running a little late the first time but called to let us know. My faucet was leaking quite a bit on my countertop and the part to fix it was no longer available so he went out. It took him a while, but he managed to find the part and fixed the issue. It was done fairly quickly after he found the part and knew what he was doing. He tried really hard to fix it before getting a new one. We didn't have any problems whatsoever and were very satisfied with the result.

    I had issues with two of the toilets. The first company came out and the guy said he fixed it. I wanted the water flow to be stronger and he said there was nothing he could do and it was just how the system was. But a month later, I ran into the same problem. I reached out to Home Shield again, and this time, they sent The Lindsay Company, and I was very much satisfied with them. The guy fixed the toilet that was having the issue. Actually, it was part of the mechanism that needed to be changed and he explained to me in detail what he exactly did, which I really appreciated. He also fixed the water flow which the other guy told me couldn't be fixed. He explained what he had to do with that as well.

    I had a leakage under my sink that needed to be fixed also. The guy looked at it and said that it was an HVAC issue so an AC/heating guy needed to come out. He was nice enough to file that with American Home Shield. When I called American Home Shield, they confirmed that the guy told them that and they sent the AC guy to fix the issue. The only thing is that when I placed a complaint saying that since the first company couldn't fix the same issue that the Lindsay company fixed, I deserve a $100 refund. They said they couldn't do that, so that was disappointing.

    The toilet in my guest bathroom was backed up bad. I was able to remedy the situation with the resources I have at home, but not this time. So American Home Shield found the contractor for me. They used a pressurized CO2 gun and it released the backup from the toilet. It pushed things a little further down the pipeline. But they did resolve the situation and we were able to use the toilet afterward. But two days later, I had to put in another claim to have someone come out because we weren't able to use any of the restrooms. So I went to American Home Shield, but they were taking too long to find a contractor. So I ended up canceling the request and just finding someone by myself and paying them. Everything is working great now.

    Since I pay American Home Shield monthly and then I have to pay an additional 130 to submit the request and for them to dispatch a contractor out to your home, I wish the turnaround times were sooner than what they have been. I have children and we weren't able to brush our teeth or use the restroom or shower. We had to go to my mom's house. In a situation like that, I can't wait two or four days. By the third day, I cancelled the claim and then I found someone who came out the same morning I called. So I'm not really happy with the last two claims. But American Home Shield did their best to try to find someone.

    AHS had four technicians here from two different companies and my furnace is still not working. It is not blowing the amount of heat that it used to blow and you can barely feel it coming through the event. And all four techs said that it's just working fine. But it's cool in here and the unit is not blowing the amount of air that it should blow in order to keep the temperature in the house comfortable. I'm having to turn up the thermostat to 72. So, I do not care to have a recall especially if it's the same plumbing company that AHS sent before and I don't want to deal with them anymore. My daughter-in-law bought the protection and she can have it. It would be very nice if AHS would give her partial credit for the $539 she spent.

So I don't know why Honesty Mechanical told me that it was approved and they were paying for the units. American Home Shield was supposed to call me back in 24 to 48 hours. They told me that on Friday but today is Wednesday, so they lied too.

When plumbers come in and have to tear the walled area down behind the machine, American Home Shield sends out a carpenter to fix it. It is free-of-charge.

    My washing machine wasn't spinning out, so I had to keep changing it to different cycles. The repair company came out to look at it three days after the claim was submitted then I had to wait another week to get the part. It was handled good. But my part came in four days prior to me reaching out to the technician and letting him know that I received an email showing that the part was there. He said he was gonna call me that day, but I ended up calling him to set an appointment.

    The technician came and changed the computer board, but my washing machine is still not spinning out. It did it one time before, but I didn't think anything about it. Then I was washing in it yesterday and it did it twice. I called it back yesterday. I've been without a washer for over a month now, but it’s just me and my daughter right now, so we were able to maintain by going over to my sister’s house to wash. The contractor is a little behind right now, but other than that, I like that Home Shield is efficient getting the unit to the contractors. I also got a couple of my associates to purchase through the Home Shield.

    We had a problem with the dryer. The technician from GE came and determined it was a control panel. They ordered the control panel and when it arrived, he came back and installed it. I like American Home Shield's quick responses. I would just advise others that there's always a service charge that they always have to pay for in addition to all of their other stuff. And that even though they say they would replace an item, they don't usually replace it full price.

    The contractor came out for my washing machine in December. But it's not working again. Since American Home Shield has this 30-day thing, I had to pay another $125 and I'm not happy about that. When I was on the phone with the representative that Sunday, I told her that since I was going to pay another fee, I didn't want the same company that came out before because they didn't fix it. So she said, "Okay, no, we'll have another company. Sears is going to come out." I said, "Okay, okay." So I thought we were clear.

    I got to email notifications from the company that was going to come out and also from Sears. The company called me on Tuesday and had them set up an appointment. But today, Sears called me and I'm concerned because the debit is out of my account. So I had to call American Home Shield and asked them what was going on. The young lady that helped me was great. I was able to understand her. She took the time and once I explained to her what was going on, she said, "Oh, yeah, there was a duplication. I see that. So, I'll fix it."

But before we did that, we decided to call American Home Shield to see if they could send somebody to fix it. The technician came out and troubleshoot it.

    As he was doing that, there was an Allen wrench and he showed me what size and what I needed to take it in, and if it doesn't, put it underneath the garbage disposal, and if it doesn't move, that means there's something lodged and I need to go in and pull that out. He went in and he pulled out all of it, then he checked it again and it started moving freely down there. He turned it on and it worked perfectly. He fixed it and he gave me insight on how to fix it in any case this happens again. I recommend having a policy with AHS.

    I was without hot water for over 11 days. When I called American Home Shield to inquire about it, the person on the line told me about the cash option. I never knew that they had a cash option, which benefited me because it allowed me to get a contractor and put that water heater in. But I had a contractor come in and put one in. I talked to him on Saturday and he had it in my house Monday afternoon. But it does get a little frustrating with the process. I'm waiting now for my cashback because I did the cash option thing I sent them.

    Another issue was the amount of money on both sides that I had to pay out because I'm paying out $60 per month to have a contract, then $100 if I call for something so I can talk to them. Then on this particular contract, I had to purchase three parts that cost $635 because American Home Shield didn't cover them. But they covered the water heater, which was the cheapest part that was needed.

    There are a lot of little parts that are not covered in the contract. I spent close to $1,000 to get a repair done. If those so-called parts are not covered, then I'm questioning why I have a contract. It takes more than 72 hours to actually get the air conditioner fixed. Then in the case right with the water heater, the plumbing company would have gone 13 days because he finally came back and said, "Hey, I have a confirmation that the water heater would be in that Tuesday," and he could give me an appointment for Wednesday. But we don't know what's happening out there and if it would arrive Tuesday or not. But here I was on Monday and it was almost 10 days and my family and I were without water. That was totally unacceptable to me.

    When the heating element in the dryer went out, the tech came out and repaired it. Then he said, "That's it. Call somebody to get somebody to do the vents." But everything around the vent caused it to not heat properly. So, that caused the heating element to go out. If you come down and fix the dryer, you should look at everything within that dryer that's mixed up and you should've fixed it. You should fix everything around that's causing that dryer to not heat up.

We finally got through the bureaucracy of allowing to call a local guy. They gave us two, three guys. We called those guys, and they made a deal with American Home Shield. They finally got the unit fixed but that took months. I had tenants that got aggravated.

    When I couldn't figure out why my garage door is unprogrammed, I thought I'd pay the $133, have American Home Shield send a professional out here, reprogram the door and get it figured it out. The guy showed up and said, “We don't work on these doors. Goodbye.” I got charged 133 bucks and they said the issue was addressed but the door is still broken. I should call them and get a credit. When you have to call their service center, they give you the same thing off the computer. They dispatch out to a country overseas and we get chickens in the background.

    American Home Shield is a scam company. We received a home warranty for our new home as a house warming gift from our realtor. Within two months of moving in our oven broke. We called AHS and it took them over 3 months to "repair" the oven with a "refurbished part" which the contractor told us would not work, but that they were required to install per AHS. Sure enough, after waiting, without a working oven, for over 3 months the "refurbished" part broke. We have now been waiting another 4 months, and they refuse to replace our oven, instead they are trying to replace it with another "refurbished part". When we refused the refurbished part and instead demanded a full replacement of the oven, as promised by them, they refused to give us more than the $375 for the refurbished part.

    Now, because our warranty is about to expire (keep in mind we have been without a working oven for 6 months of the 1 year contract with them) they are claiming that we did not request the reimbursement and the work order was completed. They are quite literally trying to push us past our warranty expiration so they can claim they don't have to pay us the measly $375 for a broken oven that costs over $1200 to replace! They have also charged us $100 every time it's broken, to NOT fix it, so really, they're refusing to pay us $175 for a $1200 oven. They farm out their customer service to people who barely speak English and then refuse to transfer us to supervisors or anyone who can actually help us, instead saying we have to keep running in circles in barely understandable English. They are 100% scam artists out to take your money. DO NOT PURCHASE an American Home Shield Warranty. They are charlatans and thieves.

If anything, AHS should vet their vendors better and see what kind of reviews they're getting because it was clear as day that, online, American Home Shield customers were not happy with this particular vendor. I ended up going with a different vendor and they were able to fix the issue that I had. So, I'm happy about that. What happened was that one of the sump pumps I had in my basement was going bad periodically. The first guy said he wasn't going to change it and the second guy said that it was pretty old, but they could get it changed. Then, I had an issue with my oven and stovetop.

They went on the roof twice, did a roto-rooter, and said, “You're good to go,” and were just not communicative.

    I called the city because I had been advised to have them come and flush the city side and see if the issue was on their side. And so, they did that and got the information that it wasn't on their side. I talked to this 60-year old gentleman who has been in the business since he was 15 years old and explained to him some of the things that the contractor said to me. He was very gracious, but he shook his head in disgust. The actual guys that came were not good. But Mike, the owner, was incredibly nice, responsive, and accommodating to try and get somebody out here. His sons were in the business. He's retired. Because his sons were busy, he showed up the same day and dug the ground up to find the pipe. They came after they got back from the city. They were at half-hour away with cameras to be able to go into the pipes to see what the problem was. American Home Shield is incredibly helpful every time I call.

    We've had a few different things that we've had to put in service requests for. There have been some confusions, we've had extra claims open, and took a while for them to get closed. Every time we call, we got to go through the whole spiel of everything that's going on, then AHS puts us on hold, and they try to get ahold of other people, and then they come back. It's hard to get anything done or get ahold of somebody that gives us a solid answer on anything. I've spoken to one of the managers, Amanda, and she's been awesome. But as far as the general people when we call the number, they've been pretty difficult.

    I'm still waiting for our claim to be addressed. We went through one company. They came out and replaced a part and it didn't fix the issue that we had. We weren't getting anywhere with them too. We asked American Home Shield to switch the company for us. They found another one that we set an appointment for this afternoon. They ended up coming in the morning when nobody was home. We've been trying to get ahold of them all day to see if they were still coming back and their number is no longer working. We haven't heard anything back. We've been here for almost two months and still no hot water. Nobody's been able to take a bath or a shower here.

    The locking mechanism when you close the dishwasher door broke. So when we started to run the dishwasher, it started to leak a lot of water because it wasn't latched. We went online and submitted a request. The tech was really quick. When he came the first time, he didn't have the part, but he was able to fix it enough to the point we can use it, which was really good because I hate not having a dishwasher. Then he ordered the part and as soon as the part came in, they called us and came back out and fixed the latch. Everything's good. We would have had to pay $300 to get a little latch fixed. So it was nice to only have to pay that $75 to get someone to come out. Having American Home Shield is also cool. They get everything set up with the company for you. So they contact the company, and the company calls you to set up the appointment. I like that.

    My air conditioner was out and American Home Shield sent someone out to look at it back in March of last year. It took almost a year to resolve it. First, the contractor said they couldn't find the part. Then, they said that they were going to look at replacing it because they couldn't find the part. When they found the part, the first contractor said that he didn't want to do the job. So AHS had to source someone from three hours away. It was bad.

    I spoke with customer service at least twice a week for nine months and it was like hitting your head against the wall. They said it was being looked at and it would be reviewed. I asked to speak to a supervisor or a manager but they didn't do that. They couldn't transfer me to anyone. I had to wait on a phone call that never came, and then I’d call back. Although it is resolved now, I had to pay out of pocket several thousand dollars. The contractor that I work with said that they would pay for the parts but I have no proof of that.

    The heating unit was on, but it was not warming up. I called American Home Shield the first time but I felt like the unit was working already so I canceled. Then about a few days later, it was still not cooling, so I called them again. They were very easy to reach and they were able to cancel the people coming over and cancel money coming out of my account, so I was impressed with them. Then the technician came out and put in one and a half pounds of gas and it started to work straight away. I've had this warranty for a year and have not needed them.

    There was a leak in my ceiling. The first time, the company came a few minutes before their appointment. The guy called me and I was dropping my daughter at school and it would take me 10 minutes. He said that he couldn't wait. I told him that I was expecting them between this block and block. So then, he left. I had to reschedule again. Then I was locked out of the house when he got there. It's been a back and forth. But they haven't really gotten the chance to assess the situation yet.

    Then every time I schedule them, I have to pay $100 and I'm barely scraping to do so. If I miss an appointment or if something happens, there's no room for negotiating, although I understand because it's a third party that they're sending out and they have to pay for their time. But that'd be my only hiccup. This time around, I made another appointment and I'm just waiting on them to call to schedule hoping that I can actually get them to really look at the issue. Other than that, I like that I won't have to worry if something breaks down. Just being able to have everything under one hub helps if I need someone to fix things. I don't have to contact or try to research and find these different people to come out.

    At first, American Home Shield was okay, but lately, I've been a little disappointed with them. I had a claim for my dishwasher and dryer. Liberty Appliance and Repair came out in December then they came back again in January and fixed the dishwasher. The dryer’s still not fixed. They said the reason that that hadn’t been fixed is they had tried to call me but couldn’t get me to see if I still wanted the door. But I thought once I told them I wanted the door and signed the paper, that was it.

    American Home Shield had also sent somebody out to do my plumbing to fix my garbage disposal. But they said it wasn’t covered. They said there was a foreign object in there. I had to go out and buy another one. Then I had to pay to have it put in. So far, Liberty is all right. But I don't think the one with the garbage disposal cares. They were told to fix my garbage disposal and a leaking faucet in my bathroom and in my kitchen, but they are leaking again. They also sent an electrician out who was supposed to fix my outside back light. He checked it and said there was nothing wrong with it. But the light still is not working.

    My brother and some of my friends from church had American Home Shield and they were telling me that it was a good thing to have if something broke down because they were fixing items. If they couldn’t fix the item, they will replace it. But they hadn't replaced nothing yet. They could get better people that care and make sure that the problem gets fixed. If they can’t fix it, don't wait two or three months to tell the homeowner that they can't fix it, and the homeowner has to go out and buy it.

They're gonna fix whatever problem they have. I once called somebody because I forgot about American Home Shield. They came here and they charged too much.

    The seal around one of the refrigerator doors started to fall apart. So I filed a claim, then the person came over and inspected it. It was a quick diagnostic. It needed a part replacement, so he ordered the part. The part took over a month to arrive. Then he came back and replaced it. He was professional and had good communication as well. But for the overall claim process, I wish there was a way for me to submit more information. I didn't see a way to submit pictures or videos, or at least ways to even submit a description. For some of these things, especially something like the fridge door seal replacement, it didn't need the person to come directly. I know American Home Shield does offer remote diagnostics, but I was not offered the option to set that up before the person arrived. Also, American Home Shield is very persistent in terms of getting consumers to renew with them. Over the span of two weeks, I have gotten about 16 calls.

    Besides the price going up since we've had American Home Shield for 20 years, they're good most of the time. I had the men fix my toilet from leaking, but when they came out, it wasn't leaking. Then four months later, it was leaking again and that happened several times. But I never kept calling them back. They came back twice for that over the last 10 years. But it would just leak again. I have to start all over and pay the 75 bucks again. So I stopped doing that and it just leaked. I would wipe it up with a towel.

    We had a claim for my microwave and Buster Appliance came out. It took a long time to get them to come and look at my microwave. But they did a good job. After the guy came and looked at the microwave, he told me the part had to be ordered, which took a long time. It took a month to get the part and then we had to get him over here. So, it was really a long process and I was disappointed. But it wasn't Buster Appliance’s fault.

    The claims process has always been pretty good. American Home Shield is pretty good at telling you what's covered and what isn't. Unfortunately, I'm not really internet-savvy. I'm 60 years old. A lot of times now, they want you to go on the internet. I still get the old book out and call them on the phone. The only thing that was frustrating was having something fixed and then we're out again so soon, and you got to pay again. But it only happened with the toilet and the microwave. Otherwise, I do use American Home Shield all the time.

    If you have an older home, you absolutely need a house warranty. The warranty that I have has saved me a lot of money with the problems I've had so far, and I have an older home. I would recommend American Home Shield, but one has to take them with a grain of salt. I'm thoroughly happy with all the services I've had, and I've had no issues with any of the contractors. They've been extremely helpful. I've had two plumbers here. The recent one tightened a bolt on my water heater and I got hot water back. He was very good, nice and knowledgeable.

    On the other hand, American Home Shield can do a lot with their customer service. They are horrible. It's difficult to get ahold of them to even schedule an appointment. They also need to get somebody that can speak English because the girls that I talked to were all Hispanic and they acted like they couldn't understand what I was saying to them. I don't know if that's something they do because they understand what I'm saying, or it's truly something that they need to work on to have someone that speaks English to talk to you. It's frustrating.

    I had an incident where I had Rockland Plumbing come because the drain in my basement and my toilet were not working. I also asked customer service to add on my bathroom sink because I had a leak in it. The girl acted like she didn't know what I was talking about and they would not add on the sink. They would charge me another $125 for another service call, which wasn't happening because that was ridiculous. They're not very communicative too. They said they'd call or send me a text or an email, and they never sent any of that stuff. They don't follow up with what they say they're gonna do.

There were some switches that weren't working right and those light fixtures in the basement where the pull chain had snapped off. One of the lights in the living room was apparently badly wired and a few other little things. There's a bigger one that I would have liked to gotten fixed but apparently, it was not covered.

    There were some minor squirrel damages to my electrical system in the garage too. The guy who fixed the electric issue said that it’s covered if something breaks from natural wear and tear, not if an animal gets in there and munches on it. I might have been wrong.

American Home Shield had told me I had coverage on everything, including electronics, like the TV. When I had to file a claim on it, it was being a headache. They have representatives that call you trying to get you to get these plans but when it's time to get some work done, it's an issue. They took care of it but it was taking a while for me to get my reimbursement.

    The other thing was they advertised to come and do free tune-ups on the heaters, but they never sent anybody out when I talked to them. The last representative I spoke with about it told me, "Just turn on your heater and if you have any problems, then call us." She said that it was more imperative that they get to people whose heaters weren't working at all versus those customers who needed them to come out to do a tune-up or check it out before they started using them when we started getting that cold weather.

    My refrigerator is still not working. It needed to be cleaned out. The contractor also said it looked like my coil might be going out. But we need to call American Home Shield and put another order in because the tech just fixed it and it's starting to make that noise again. I have spent $75 every month, and $75 to get a service free to come out. And every time they come out, if they don't fix it, they just continue to send people out. It was one time where our refrigerator was out for three months, they did not ask to give us a small refrigerator. My daughter had medicine, I got a baby. I had to buy a small refrigerator to put the milk in. I had to buy an ice cooler because they told me that they were coming out, but they never did. It took them three months to get the problem fixed.

    I always thought that American Home Shield was a ripoff. But my wife and I moved into a 3,000 square-foot house. She said, "I want to make sure that we're good." We're paying what we play. And after we ran into the incident with the three months, we had a technician come out from a repair store and we were told that the amount that we paid to get the refrigerator repaired, if we gave him $200 on top of that, the refrigerator would have been fixed. So, that's almost 180 bucks. That's high. He said, "How much have you paid on having people to come out and look at this refrigerator?" I didn't even realize it until he said it, that we spent $75 four times on this refrigerator. That's 300 bucks, it's still not fixed and they don't want to replace the refrigerator. They didn't send me anything to reimburse me for buying a $1,000 refrigerator. I would never purchase AHS again.

    The bearings on the washing machine were gone and as it was going through its spin cycle, it sounded like it was gonna fall apart. I requested service on American Home Shield's website and it was real straightforward. Then, they notified me who the contractor was.

    I had an issue with my washing machine, and my dishwasher was backing up. The person that was sent did a good job. I've never had a problem with American Home Shield. Every time I call them, they're pretty good. The only thing I don't like is when I call, whoever I talk to is either overseas and I really don't understand them sometimes.

    I also had a home warranty for my heater. That didn't go too well. It took me about two months to get my heater up and working. I called in December and when it got cold, I turned my heater on and it wasn't blowing out the cold air. It took them about almost two weeks to come out. When they came out, they said it was something about the gas valve not releasing the gas. So, they had to order a part. That took about another week and a half.

    Then they came out, and they fixed the valve. That was almost at the end of December. It wasn't blowing out the air so they sent somebody else out. That took about another week and a half. Then they said it was a circuit board. Two weeks later because of the holidays and January 1st, they called and they were gonna make an appointment. They were gonna fix it on Friday. Then the girl called me and said, “Well, everything is closed on Friday. And they usually pick up their parts when they come in.” So, then that took into the next week to get it fixed, and the heater wasn’t fixed.

    They came out on January 6th and supposedly, they put the circuit board. They fixed it. It was working for about four days. Then, it started blowing out the cold air again. The guy who came took pictures and he said, “Well, now we have to call American Home Shield because we’ve got everything. If you need a new unit, they have to order it, and then we install it.” So, that took about another two weeks. It took me two weeks calling almost every other day to find out what was going on. Finally, at the end of January, the rep was like, “Well, the guy's gonna go out there and check it out.” I was told they were waiting for American Home Shield to get a new unit because that was what he said. The rep was like, “No. They said it was they're gonna do some rewiring.”

    The guy came out on January 29th and tried to fix the thing. He said he was gonna do some rewiring. He got up there and said, “Oh, there's nothing wrong with it. The other guy just forgot to plug it in.” I was pissed. I just barely got my unit fixed two weeks ago. So, I did not have a good experience with that Rose company. That experience was one huge miss, but the other two were great experiences.

    American Home Shield’s website is very easy to use. And it updates you whenever there's an update. My dishwasher was in and out. Sometimes, it would run the cycle, and sometimes it wouldn't. Pye's Appliance did great. They looked at it, told me what was wrong, ordered the part, and came back in a timely manner. They fixed it all in one day. That was a great company to go through.

    I was having problems with my air conditioning as well and that contractor was a whole other ballpark. The tech came back out once and was like, “Oh, I just have to order this part, and I'll be back next week.” He forgot about me and then he had to come back again because he deleted his picture that he took of my unit. When he came out the second time, he took a new picture and ordered the parts again. The parts got lost so he had more issues. I had to keep calling American Home Shield multiple times and they didn't help out in making things go quicker. Once I Googled that contractor, they have very bad reviews one after another. I don't understand why AHS is still using the company if it's such a horrible one. It took three months to get my AC fixed when he said it would have been done in a week.

    With Pye's Appliance, when they sent their updates, what they told me matched what AHS was saying on the website. Whereas the other company, the tech immediately marked the job as complete when it wasn't. I called AHS and they said, “Oh, well, it just says complete because that's what he reported to us.” When I called the contractor, they were like, “Oh, that's just what we put in.” I don't understand why American Home Shield would let them mark it as complete if it wasn't and in instead of going with the steps like they did with the other company. Other than that, AHS is great when you have emergencies. But it's not always going to be easygoing.

    My dishwasher wasn’t draining. I made a claim online with AHS on the weekend because I knew that the contractor wouldn't be open until Monday. They contact us on Monday and told us they had booked us an appointment for Tuesday. Then, the tech came out on Tuesday and he was good. He was in and out, and he knew exactly what to do. He repaired the dishwasher in not even 20 minutes. Recently, my coworker who was complaining about his washing machine was not working and I told him we have a home warranty. AHS has very reasonable pricing, too. Paying that beats having a broken refrigerator and having to go spend $2,000 when the techs could come out and it'd probably be an easy fix for them. These people are professionals and they know what they're doing. And you don't even know what you're looking for if you did take it apart.

    A few shingles on the roof came off and I submitted a request to American Home Shield from the website. I got a contact one day later and got scheduled. The contractor did an inspection first and then talked with me about my options which are to either fully replace it or fix it temporarily. I chose to temporarily fix it and within a week, they did the total fix. AHS is a useful warranty to have but I cannot change the tiering in the middle of my contract. If they can make it more flexible, it will work more conveniently for the customers.

    I made a claim online with AHS and their reps were really good. I got the water leak through the ceiling and the tech came in and cleaned it up. He knew what he was doing but we'll see if that happens again during the summertime. This house is my rental property and having the warranty is good because that way I can have somebody to provide the service, rather than for me to go and look for one. But it'd be nice if we have a service history on the contract because we'd like to have the same service provider come in since that way at least they know. Aside from that, sometimes it takes a while to get customer service to get back or to make the connection to talk with them.

    I’ve had two other home warranties and neither one of them responds the way that American Home Shield does. Sometimes I wait on line a long time, but that's with all companies now. I like their service and the quick return on the service. I moved into this home and the air conditioner went out. That was in summer when we were having extra hot days. Thank God I have this Home Shield. They came out and fixed it.

    I also had a service where my refrigerator went out first, and I had to have a refrigerator door. That was during the beginning of the pandemic. The lady at Oak Valley Appliances explained nicely to me that it was on backorder so we just have to wait patiently. I couldn't do anything but agree with it. But she didn't stop there. She reached out to Whirlpool, and Whirlpool came on the line. It was the same thing that the lady said. Then it had to be made from the factory. About five months later, the door showed up, and the young man that came out, Tobi, has been in my home three times now. As a matter of fact, when I call Oak Valley, I request him. He would explain the job, do it, and clean up his mess. I love this company. They get the job done and they keep me informed on what's going on better than other service techs that American Home Shield has sent out to me in the past. Overall, get a home warranty, because you never know.

    I had two consecutive issues. The first time, I had a provider that was very terrible. The second time, I had a provider that was very excellent. The first provider was supposed to arrive by 6:00 p.m. They did not arrive until after 9 o'clock. It's winter, so it was really dark. The problem with the person was that I thought that they were under the influence of alcohol. I was frightened to not let them in because they were a little aggressive about, “We're here. I got to attend to this. I just drove a long way.” I just shuttled them out of here pretty quick.

    I didn’t wanna talk to the person, so I showed him where to go in the attic. Then he asked if I had questions, and I had no questions. I just was happy that he left and nothing happened. But then we still had the issue. So, I had to call AHS again and pay another $100 for another provider to come. This person went well above and beyond, was professional, had identification on himself, took care of the problem, and made recommendations for how to keep it from happening again. I was very satisfied with his work.

    It's easy to go online and request what you need with AHS. But it's very difficult to provide feedback and, like in my case, a claim that I shouldn't have had to pay for another service call. Because in order to do that, you have to call, and I've been experiencing over 30-minute waits for these phone calls. And I'm a busy person, so I can't do that. I'd rather pay the $100 than fight someone.

    We had a leak under our sink. AM PM was great. The tech was very professional. We asked him if he was vaccinated, and he said that he was, but he would wear a mask if we wanted him to, which I thought was very nice. He did the work expertly. He diagnosed the problem immediately, he got the part, he replaced it. He was here no more than 20 minutes and the job was finished. He cleaned everything up and he left. Very pleasant experience. We have another claim. It was for the washer and dryer. When it was spinning, it was making such a loud noise that the whole house shook, and leaked out of the front of the washer. It was a bad deal. Still, it's not fixed.

    AHS is kept in the loop. But the unfortunate part of this is the contractor suggested that they replace the washer, that it was not repairable. But they chose to replace almost every part. The complete drum is being replaced, all the bars and the assembly to put the drum in, which is what the problem is. One of the bars broke. I have transmission oil all over my wall and floor and they want him to come fix it. I'm supposed to wait eight weeks for parts? That's not acceptable. They said, "We're sorry, ma'am. But we're replacing the parts and we've ordered them and they'll be in." They told me they might be in by January 16th. That was a joke. They were not going to be in by January 16th.

    The last claim I had was for my refrigerator. American Hi-Tech responded pretty quickly. They came out and did everything they possibly could do. But it wasn't cooperating. The tech was wonderful. He gave me all the information he could give me on it and what to do. I would definitely use American Hi-Tech again. Overall, American Home Shield is pretty quick. The dishwasher claim has been kind of slow. But I know with the shortage of workers, it's taking a little time, but they are coming to complete the work on Monday. So I'm still satisfied with American Home Shield and they seem to be doing the best they can do. Since I've been dealing with them over the years, they seem to get the job done and they always have someone on hand that can do the job.

    I'm enjoying American Home Shield. I recently had my dishwasher repaired and the guy was very good when he finally got somebody out here. The bad thing is I don't know how American Home Shield monitors people that they employ to go out and take care of their services. The first person never showed up and never returned my calls. Then it was a matter of having to reschedule to get my repairs done. I'd called American Home Shield and was speaking with a gentleman letting him know I was ready to cancel my American Home Shield policy because I felt I wasn’t getting the repairs done. I talked with Brian who was in the retention department. He made some calls, got ahold of E-Plus and gave me the number to give them a call.

    The technician had set up the appointment the day after. I told him that I had an appointment that same day and he said, “I could come out this afternoon, have a look at it and see what needs to be done.” Sure enough, he came out a day early so that was very nice. He gave me a call and stayed in touch with me to let me know what time he would be here. He was on time and spot on. I told him what I thought was wrong with it and he went on, checked it and agreed with what I told him. He ordered the parts so it's just a matter of waiting for the parts to come in. He made contact with me and rescheduled to follow up and make the necessary repairs.

    We had an electrical issue with the dryer. American Home Shield's claims process was easy and difficult at the same time because when we originally made the claim, it was during the holiday time in December, so it took a little longer. But they were efficient in getting us assisted and assigning us to the people that we needed to be assigned to. As far as parts and different things, it took a long time for that to come but it was not an issue on their end. I realized it had a lot to do with the COVID and the holidays. Once the turn of the year came in, they were on it. They sent me emails and I didn't have to wonder if something was going on. They also called me and followed up efficiently. And whenever I called them on a regular basis, they were prompt and attended to my issues at hand. It's really nice having them because you don't know where you'll be in a couple years or a couple months. The warranty is always the best investment.

    I would recommend American Home Shield. I've been with them for about six years now, and I've used them quite a bit. I have two properties that I have under their warranties and I've been satisfied with their contractors. Recently, Air Majesty came out for the thermostat. They looked things over and found that one of the wires was in a wrong place. They were very professional. If I needed them to come out again, I would like to have that ability to say, "I would like Air Majesty." At the moment, there's nothing on the website that allows me to do that. It's just I put in a claim, and they assign it to a company that they're contracted with.

    I had a claim for a Kenmore washer that had a leak. The tech changed the part for it, which he showed me what was wrong with it. Then, he left and I put a load of wash in and it leaked again, but in a different place. I called them and he came out yesterday and fixed it, but told me that it was because of the cold. The washer froze and so the washer is going to leak. He told me to get a heater for the hoses so that they wouldn't freeze. Submitting the claim with AHS wasn't hard. All the automation was frustrating, but they put me on a callback and they called me back within the hour. It was good.

    I live up in the mountains though and it is very hard to get anybody to come up here. I talked to four of them. They didn't refuse, they just said I wasn't in their area. AHS should have looked for somebody that would come up. That should have been on their part. That's what I pay insurance for, for them to take care of whoever comes up here, and they didn't. They didn't find out whether they come up here or not. But they were very nice on the phone. And when the air conditioning unit went out, they promised they would get somebody up here. The tech came up here and stayed the whole day fixing it. He even called me and asked me how it was working. He was a good one.

    It's been a long process for the AC claim. G & R was the one that found the coils for me back in June. It took a lot of work on their part because it was not an easy part to find but they were able to replace it and got the unit back to working. However, after they got the coils replaced, it was still freezing up. American Home Shield had sent me a different company out here and that other company, American Air, damaged the new coils that I had just gotten replaced. They were telling me that I had poured some kind of chemical on the coils that caused the coils to be damaged. They reported that to American Home Shield and they were denying my claim to get the coils replaced.

    It was a very pleasant experience to know that you have the opportunity to have a second opinion when you don't agree with the diagnosis of one company. American Home Shield suggested I get G & R. When they came over and saw the unit, they were able to identify that it was not a chemical damage. They were able to report back to American Home Shield that it was the other company that had damaged it. It was my word against them, and I needed somebody to come and explain to them that there was no reason why I would pour any chemicals if the part was brand new but I was able to get the coils replaced again through American Home Shield because of that second opinion. Other than the AC unit issues, every time I call for any appliance - washer, dryer, stove, fridge - they're very quick in taking the call, setting up the service, and getting me a technician out here. I’ve been a customer for American Home Shield for years and I know I can depend on them.

    The worst experience that I’ve ever had when it comes to American Home Shield is that their customer service is scripted, outsourced, and straight out lying to me. I used to work at a call center, so I know that it’s a lot cheaper to outsource our customer service call centers to other parts of the world. However, it is very difficult, me being the customer, trying to get through customer service when English is not their primary language. I experienced a lot of headache trying to get the customer service representatives to understand what I was trying to say and what my situation was.

    I understand the diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace but when they only have a script to read and you ask something outside of the script and they just repeat the script to you again and again, it's not getting anywhere. I said, “Do me a favor. I’m not getting through with you. Can you raise your hand and get me somebody that can take an escalation?" They said they were in a call center but they were working from home. I could hear chickens in the background.

They've closed the claim and to me, they’re stealing. I paid them to do something and they haven't provided the service. After this doorbell experience, I’m at the point where I’m gonna drop the warranty. Every year, the cost is going up.

    We had lots of problems getting the garage door to open with the remote. It oftentimes did not work. When you're leaving the house, you want to be able to press the button, close the door and leave. And we didn't have that ability so we made the claim in. The company came and they were great. The work took about three hours from start to finish because they had to go and get a material. But they did it well and everything works fine. We are considering cutting our contract with American Home Shield though because they are not what they say.

    We needed someone to come and check our dishwasher and the contractor said that they couldn't come until three weeks after. So we had to hire someone and pay to fix it. I canceled that claim. Then, it was a similar situation for a refrigerator and I canceled that but AHS still removed $100. This was more than two months ago and they are lucky that I haven't been bugging them daily because we got family members that were sick. AHS hasn't returned the $200 to our account.

    When we called AHS, the person who answered was not knowledgeable with what they were doing. We asked what they would cover but they don't cover as many things. We've had a similar problem with our oil tank. We paid the oil tank company to do it. We have brand new appliances, so I don't see the point to require the service, and pay $100 every month plus $100 for every time that they're supposed to come. I have to be after them for them to come. The rep said they would put the money back tomorrow. This was three months ago. So their service is poor and the knowledge of the people probably could be great. One day, someone came to fix the washer. He said he was the plumber and I said that we called two months ago and that it was canceled. So there are professionalism, precision and organization.

What I dislike most is the customer service, being lied to by their representatives on a daily basis, wait time for a service call, quality and competency of their contractors, ability to talk with someone who can speak English, the constant run around about a service request, the inability to cancel your contract without having to go through a maze of people trying to resell you on a failed business model, charging your credit card after they agreed not to, refunds that are non existent and the list goes on and on.

    I do not recommend this company to anyone and if you choose to use them anyway I highly suggest staying away from autopay. Try getting your money back when a mistake happens! IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. What does happen is every excuse in the book. It seems like every time you call they are the victim held hostage by their own contractors who they say are incompetent. Why are they working for you in the first place? There is no accountability with AHS. It is always someone else's Fault.

The first company they gave me, because of the problems that we had had, made me immediately look them up online. I saw that our community had nothing but complaints about that company. I called AHS and said I didn't want that company. They sent us another one and I found the same problem. They're saying they have top-rated people but this is horrible. I said to their rep, “I'm gonna cancel this if we can't pick from the list somebody else.” And so, she tried again. We were given June Appliance. I looked them up and I couldn't find any reviews. I decided to go for it since none was better than bad and I was very happy with them. The guy was very nice and he was honest. He explained things that wouldn't be covered and he fixed the problem. It was a good experience.

    It would be a lot easier if I would be able to click on American Home Shield's list of approved vendors in the area just like auto insurance. Customers should be able to look up reviews and find a company that looks reputable. I'm not able to do that until after I pay and I just get whatever AHS recommends. Because I've been having problems with people and paying money to have them come out seeing that others have had the same problem repeatedly. Then, if I have a problem with what happened, I have to pay more money at which point I could have gotten the issue fixed on my own.

    The garbage disposal stopped working. The technician came and my partner talked to him. He showed my partner how to fix it if we have this problem in the future. It’s working great. I've had American Home Shield for a while and I've told people about it before.

    The microwave went out. The contractor checked it via virtual and they said it's an old model. They will have to see if they could find the parts. If not, they will have to replace it with a new one. I assume that they would get a white one because we placed this over the refrigerator and it will match that. But I haven't heard back from them to find out what they're going to do on that. Other than that, they were pretty accurate and speedy with it.

    So far, American Home Shield is a good company. Recently, the light on my microwave blew out. When I called, they told me that that wasn't covered. I called my electrician and asked what was going on. He told me what it was and I explained that to the Delta people, American Home Shield's contractor. They gave me the information that they needed, and I sent them a copy of the serial number. From the experience that I had when I talked with the individual from Delta, I was very pleased. They called me in a good timing. They told me that they were going to be coming out but I'm wondering why did American Home Shield get somebody way over in Monroe, Louisiana. I told them I would appreciate it if somebody would do something because I have a lamp that I have to use to cook with because I'm so used to the light up on the microwave. I didn't want to be supposed to be putting sugar in something and putting salt up in it because I couldn't see.

    I'm waiting on a dryer repairman that was supposed to be here sometime today between the hours of 1:00 and 5:00. He's still not here and it's 6:04 PM our time. This is the second time that he had to come out to work on the dryer. He was out here last Friday and did some repair work. The dryer worked for a day then completely stopped working.

    I also called AHS last week about a shower drip. It had been dripping, so I removed the showerhead to see if that was part of the problem. But I needed to replace the handle to the shower. So, I had taken that off just to see what it involved. When the plumber came out, he looked at it and reported to AHS that the handle had been removed. AHS then said that they wouldn't cover the repair because I had removed the handle from it even though that had nothing to do with the drip and I hadn't made anything worse. But somewhere in the policy there, if you've removed something, they're not going to cover it.

    So then I rescheduled to pay out of my pocket for that plumber to come back and do what he needed to do. I waited all day yesterday for him and past the window of time he was supposed to be here. I called twice, too. I called earlier in the morning to make sure that he was in fact coming and they said he was. Then I called when it was five minutes before the end of the window then he called me back and said he wasn't going to be there, that there was a miscommunication. He said he was stuck on a job and that was at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. He said he could schedule me for Friday or Thursday.

    So, I called American Home Shield and told them that I'd at least like my $75 back because the tech did nothing. But they were not going to give me $75 back because the tech came out and evaluated the issue. I ended up getting my own plumber and just paying out of pocket altogether. Fortunately, our contract ends in 30 days and we will not be renewing our warranty.

    Aside from that, I called AHS to have our refrigerator worked on. They also checked out the dishwasher and our double ovens because all of them had issues. The repairperson came out that and he was very nice. He worked on all of them. He ordered the parts for the dishwasher and the double ovens. But he had pulled out the refrigerator then he had to defrost it and replace a part on it. When he left, he said it was good to go. He had pushed the refrigerator back and told us to let it sit overnight with the door open to finish defrosting. Then in the morning, we could plug it up and so forth. So I left it open and just put a fan on it to help the air circulate. Within a few hours after that, there was water pouring down. We're on the main level and on our lower level, there was water pouring down through a ceiling light.

    So I called American Home Shield and they said they were sorry. They said they would contact the repairperson and he came back out. But nothing was done about it. He said he did his part and that there was more ice than the pan was going to handle, so it flooded. But I told him that he said it was going to be fine. I wouldn't have left that to flood down into the floor below. So, American Home Shield did nothing about that. Going through a third party repair network is just a nightmare, so I don't recommend it.

    I’ve been a member of American Home Shield for a very long time. I was quite disappointed when they wanted me to pay $2,000 to get my air conditioner fixed. I could get one for about 5,000. I was a little bit shocked when they told me they weren’t gonna pay for the repairs. I went ahead and purchased it myself. I felt the tech wasn’t really knowledgeable of the job ‘cause he had to call somebody and ask them something. AHS should send out people that are more knowledgeable of the job.

    They told me that if I cancel my membership at the time, they were going to penalize me for canceling early because it was two to three months before my renewal time was. I said, “Whatever. I’d just keep it.” But since that time, I used them again. My bathroom started running and Bestway Mechanical came out the next day to fix it. They replaced that.

    The lever that controls the faucet on and off broke and it came off. Draingo of Alabama came and put a new washer in. However, I had a lot of difficulty with the claims process, and the first difficulty was with the remote people who handled calls for AHS. The first four or five conversations were always looking for something that I did wrong and was not entitled to. It was never looking at it from the side of what happened. It stemmed from a charge that should not have been made. Then they wanted me to go to my bank for the $35 I was looking for, because they didn't get it, and they denied at first even getting the $100 that they shouldn't have gotten. It took me five or six calls, two or three days, to get to someone who called me back and satisfied me on the situation.

    I would like to remind the general public to always look into the possibility of errors and omissions when dealing with companies like this, especially those who don't have a physical location. They just send people out that'll say anything to close the deal. Then when it comes down to performing, if they don't want to perform, they've got all kinds of loopholes and things that they didn't tell in small print, and it's up to us to read. So slow down, read and find out before you buy if you can get back in touch with that company. Do the same research in reverse. I went hook, line, and sinker for American Home Shield, which I thought was pretty good. But then when I realized I’m gonna pay $80 a month whether I have a problem or not, and then when I have a problem, I might have to pay another $100 on a problem that could’ve just been a $35 problem, it’s a catch-22.

    The burner didn't work and the oven door locked all the time. You couldn't open it up until you reset it. Also, the dishwasher had a problem but it was just a reset. It would’ve probably taken me a week to look up all the parts and try and find them, if I could. The guy from Austin Appliance put the order in before he left and he came to my house the next day. He was absolutely fantastic and a professional in every way. He wore a mask and I told it was alright because we’ve been vaccinated fully with booster shots. But it was his discretion to wear it while he was performing whatever maintenance he had to do. The actual appointment went very well. My daughter recommended American Home Shield because she has it and that was a good choice that we made. If people don't have it, they're missing out.

    The thermostat was not either connecting to the heater or it had a faulty wiring system. The tech ended up replacing the whole thing. So, that worked out because that was an outdated thermostat. The tech did good. Everything works. As far as American Home Shield, the claim process was pretty simple. Some of the things that they don't cover is just a little weird, but that's our fault for not really looking at things before going with them. They're pretty fast and efficient. So, that's nice.

    We had the best experience in the world with our guy. He was fantastic. He was professional and showed us things that whomever did were wrong. We were without heat and he came in and we had heat in a matter of however long. We were very happy with him. The owner of Loyal Home Services was so terrific that if we ever had any issue that's outside of a warranty, we would call him in a heartbeat.

    Overall, the claim process with American Home Shield was comfortable, easy and great. We will continue our service with them because of the great service we had with that one guy. That's pretty impactful. We are totally thrilled with it. They were on the money. They took care of the problem. They even looked and said, "Hey, be aware of this. Be aware of that."
