I had one little issue with American Home Shield but on a couple other things, they've been very good. The ice cube maker was not working and the guy came and fixed it right away. I was very pleased with them. When our hot water heater wasn't heating correctly, we called AHS and they called the contractor. The tech couldn't get out here for a week. I can take cold showers for a day but a week is too much. So, we called somebody on our own and had it fixed that way.
Are you still in need of assistance?

I've had a contractor come out a few times and AHS was really timely in getting people to come out. The $100 deductible was fair for the work that was done. So overall, I'm pretty happy. I had an electrical issue, and then I had an issue with my furnace, and then I had an issue with my bathroom fan too. Requesting for service has been really easy. I just use the AHS website and put down what I want. Then I get a call back within 24 to 48 hours pretty consistently. The contractors have been really good.

It was the second time my heater was broken and there was great follow through on the HVAC guys we had. There's an HVAC guy here that's amazing. It's really hard in a border town to find that. I asked the warranty specialist if it was possible for me to get him and she worked it out. He troubleshot and saw that it was an electrical issue as well as the HVAC. Galvan Electric came out came out to replace the circuit breaker. It was the HVAC guy that said they are good so it was coordinated for me. The technician told me that he had to replace the circuit breaker with the same kind but there was a better brand.

We had a leaky outside faucet. American Home Shield had a smooth claims process for it. The technician knew what he was doing, he got a part and had it fixed.

This is the first time I've had a home warranty and so far, so good. Recently, the overflow valve on the hot water heater went bad so my hot water heater kept draining. A plumber came out and replaced the valve on it. He did a good job and was very professional. I submitted the claim on a Saturday. The contractor was closed Sunday. I called them Monday morning, and they were out here at 1:00. It was pretty quick. However, I would have rather had the opportunity to talk to a live person instead of doing it all through the automated systems that American Home Shield has. It was easy to do but it didn't give me the information. I had to search to find out when this company was going to call me or do I call them. It wasn't forthcoming.

We had a claim for the washer and the guy that showed up knew nothing about what he was doing. He had no personal skills. We had two service guys here at the same time. I was upstairs with one, and my wife was down here with him. My wife turned the washer on and he said, "Oh, I don't hear no noise. I'm leaving." My wife said, "No, it's not draining." He wouldn't even look us in the eye. He was very introverted. It was weird. He said, "So, there's nothing I can do." Then finally, my wife said, "No, you're gonna talk to my husband."
I came down from the other service person and it was a very awkward situation. He wouldn't touch the washer at all. He said, "Oh, we'll just have to put some parts on it and see if that fixes it here and there. We'll do that till we fix it. And it could take up to six weeks because of COVID." But I told him that I was not going six weeks without a washer. He never told us what was wrong with it. He said he had to talk to his senior technicians and then he left.
We got a call a week later saying, "We need to schedule to send a senior technician out there to look at your washer." But I told them, "You're not wasting my time no more. We already went and bought a new washer because we weren't going to go six weeks." Then we called American Home Shield and we said, "We're not paying the service fee because we didn't have a service. Nothing came out. There was nothing. The guy came out, did absolutely nothing." We also asked to talk to the supervisor since they couldn't guarantee that we were not going to get charged a service fee, which we have already been charged for it. But they told us, "Well, a supervisor will have to call you back. We don't have access to a supervisor. It'll be 24 to 48 hours." But it's been two weeks now. So, I expect I'm not going to get a call. I'm very frustrated and American Home Shield will never get my business again after this year is up.

I was having a leak from one of my copper pipes. When the plumbing company came, I had to have some more work done before the drip and leak were actually pinpointed. When it was pinpointed, I called them back and they fixed it. American Home Shield offers a variety of services. It’s a good thing because you’re getting great service. If you don’t get good service, you call them back, and they will fix it. They’ll not charge you that $100 every single time. The first time I called them, I had to pay that $100, and then when I called them back, I wasn’t charged, so it’s worth it.
Thank you for sharing your recent experiences with us. We are happy that we were able to get the issue resolved for you and we look forward to our continued business together.

I've had American Home Shield for a while. And I got them because I have always lived in apartments. If there's a problem, I don't know who to call for half the stuff, like if the refrigerator stopped working. They get ahold of whoever to fix it. But with the washing machine, the person that AHS told me to call's phone was disconnected. I couldn't get ahold of him. He gets so much business and he gets tired of answering his customers' calls so he just turns his phone off. So, I had to call another company in Texas and get them to reassign it to somebody else. There are four of us and no washing machine. And I have three girls, so we go through some clothes. It just made it take that much longer to get it fixed. It should have just been a one call, I submit the ticket or whatever, and it would be taken care of. But it was not like that.
The AC leaks, it makes the ceiling all wet, and it's disgusting. The contractor came out and fixed it so that it's not leaking. The next thing we knew, it's leaking again. The contractor did fine. It's just a recurring issue. Nobody can fix it. They put a band aid on it and said, "Oh, it's all good." But I'm still having the same issue with the AC instead of just actually fixing the issue. All they did was clean it out and blew something down this pipe, so that the water would flow out again. But the pipe isn't at a right angle. So, it needs to be replaced. But nobody would replace the pipe. AHS said it's not covered with the warranty. But if that's the issue, shouldn't the warranty cover it? That's the whole point for the warranty. I'm very frustrated because it's ruining my ceiling, and they don't cover secondary damage. And it keeps happening every three to four months.
It has been different companies, so it must be right that it's the policy of the insurance company that they wouldn't cover that. But if they knew that was the problem, it kept happening, why not fix the problem? It seems like I would end up paying more money, having them come out every three or four months than just going ahead and replacing the stupid pipe that runs outside to drain the water off that needs to be replaced.

My heating system wasn't working and it was cold in the house. I did the scheduling online with American Home Shield but I spoke to the reps too and they were very receptive and what I would expect. I was told that the repair guy was going to contact me when he was on his way, and as promised, he did by a text message. I missed their call so I called back and I was told by the receptionist not to worry and that they just wanted me to know that he was on his way. The repair guy worked on the system outside and on the furnace in the basement, and checked my circuit breakers. He was here for a long time so it wasn’t just a drop-in. He was very thorough and everything's working now. I'm warm. The repair guy did a great job and I’m satisfied. I hate going through the phone trees and as a customer, I have online access to AHS, which is very important to me. It made it easy for me to schedule an appointment.

We woke up one morning and there was no heat in the house so we called American Home Shield. They assigned someone and he came out the same day and fixed the heat pump. It was wonderful. I have a house in Texas with American Home Shield as well and I do my claim online for that. I had one bad experience with a contractor. I had a claim for a refrigerator and that took them almost three weeks as they were waiting on parts. They came, looked at the refrigerator, did something then left. They didn't say what was going on and just that the refrigerator needed parts. They didn't keep me informed as to how long it was going to be and I didn't appreciate that. That aside, having a home warranty is about saving money. I pay $70 a month for my plan in Texas while my husband pays for this house. In the case of my claim for the refrigerator, it cost me $75 when it could have been way more than that.

To get that person out to look at my heating system, it took a while. I had an electrical issue and they reached out to one company and one company alone, and never got back to me about it.

AHS has always been extremely fast at replying and getting someone in contact with me to come out. Recently, my sink was backing up. I got someone out the same day. They also resolved it that day. However, when I had them rekey my house, that wasn't so great. The guy came from Kansas City, which is 45 miles away. Then he told me that he didn't have the correct tools to be able to rekey my door so that they all matched. Now, I have two keys for my house because he couldn't redo one of my doors. But so far, I'm happy with AHS. Buying the AHS warranty has already paid for itself just in those two claims that I did.

The heat wouldn't stay going and would give out on us. When we were awake, we could feel it getting colder. We would turn the furnace off then back on and we were fine. But when it shut off during the night, we were waking up to 50, 55 degrees in the house. I asked for service on Friday and I was told techs would be here on Monday. There was somebody else who had a bigger emergency than I did. It wasn't a big deal. The tech who came was very nice and professional. He identified the problem quickly. He could have fixed it when he was here but he had to order a part. He came back when the part came in. The unit is great.
But I still got a problem with the plumbing claim I had with American Home Shield. We had a leak in the crawlspace. When the Z Plumberz guy arrived, he indicated there was an access issue and that American Home was not going to cover it. That was my fault for taking him out of his word. I should have myself called American Home. I paid my 100 to American Home and I had to pay the plumber $650 because the access was not covered. When he finished up the job, he said, "By the way, now your faucets in the bathrooms aren't working, but it wasn't caused by anything I did." We had running water when he got here.
I called the plumber's boss and two or three weeks later, he sent two other guys. They fixed the running water issue and they didn't charge me for that visit. They also explained that the first plumber had been let go because he caused more problems than he solved. When I mentioned the access problem to them, they said, "Access? We can't see that that would have been an issue."
They put me in touch with the lady in their office that does the invoicing and human resources. I was told by an agent at American Home that they needed a more detailed invoice about what was done initially and somehow I would get my $650 back. She issued a new invoice but when I called American Home Shield, I was told that the issue was closed. At one point, Z Plumberz will be sending me the 650 back and American Home will be paying them whatever their negotiated rate is. But I had so much going on there for a while that I put it on the back burner. Now, I'm trying to address it for the last month and had been getting the runaround.

I had a hot water heater leak that came into the house and onto the carpet and soaked the carpet. It was a pressure valve release that the tech said that was the issue and he fixed it immediately. They came out the same day as an expedited call, and they were able to take care of the issue. On the call prior for service, I had an issue with a leak in my ceiling. The plumber came out and he said it was one issue. When I called back to get a second opinion because it was still leaking afterwards, it took a while for American Home Shield to address that issue. So, I was not happy about that situation. But I was able to get a plumber out, and they were able to fix the issue.

They get a repair tech to come out pretty quick and the tech would assess the situation and fix it, although if they have to order something, it takes a little longer. We've had them do the garage, the washing machine, and the dryer. This time, we had them do a sink and that one took a long time. I was frustrated. But what happened was it hit right at that cold spell, so they had frozen pipes everywhere and blockages. I understood that. Other than that, having the warranty, I know I'm just gonna have to pay $100 -- unless there's something else not covered -- and it really saves me money. It might seem like a lot of money but if you have any of those guys come out, it's a fortune anyway.

The boiler had a hole in the piping and Farmington Heating & Metal Company came in. They fixed it and flushed the system out. They were very thorough and they cleaned it up even better than what they found it in. I wish I had known about home warranties before with previous homes that I've owned and that I was a little bit more educated. People see that it's a big payment but you can make monthly payments instead and it's still cheaper than if you have to replace a hot water heater. The hot water heater would be 900 but we use American Home Shield for $600 a year so we save money. It's a huge benefit. But I would like to see AHS add an extension of the home. When we bought the home, it has an in-ground pool and we've had some serious issues with it. I would like to see that being offered or have an additional charge to incorporate a warranty on the pool as well. Other than that, it's been a great experience.

The siding of the refrigerator had a hole. The tray couldn’t stay on it and it was not replaceable. I had to call five times for AHS to get it resolved. Even the company said it needed to be replaced. But the company uploaded the information. They said they didn't see it. Finally, I had to be on the phone with the company with American Home Shield for them to realize the refrigerator really couldn't be fixed. I told them, if they didn't believe the company, come out and look for themselves, and then they finally replaced the refrigerator. Then on the other stuff, the company called me yesterday saying they got all the parts for the dishwasher.
I pay 189 a month, just the service. I still have to pay $100 for someone to come out. AHS should make the package where if you wanna have service or not, everything should be included in one if you're paying such a high price. That's the only thing that they should do better. But other than that, it's okay ‘cause it covers a lot of things in the home.

The dryer stopped spinning. GM Appliance Service told me the belt was loose or off. They put it back on and it’s working fine now. They came for the dishwasher first. They found a piece of glass somewhere in the tube. They showed me the piece of glass. It wouldn't drain and it wouldn't start. But it has been working fine since they left too.
The website request of AHS is less cumbersome than calling in and talking to someone. It’s handy having that security if something does go wrong. Because the turnaround has been fast. I've never had to wait more than a day or two for someone to come out. However, I wonder if the deductible could be adjusted based on your problems. I don't know what it would have cost me to have someone do that without a warranty. But sometimes, the 75 is a little much, automatically, without knowing what the problem is.

I had to call Top Notch back twice because the garbage disposal was broken and the very next day, it stopped coming on again. The same gentleman came back and after looking at some things, he said that it was not a plumbing issue. It was electrical. It was something with the breaker. So, he said that he would let American Home Shield know, and they will call me back to send a electrician out. They're supposed to come today.
American Home Shield's claim process is unbelievably easy. You already know what the price point is going to be when you call. Sometimes I think, “Okay, 400 bucks for this issue. It's a bit much.” But then I look at other issues and it more than pays for itself. I had an electrical issue in my kitchen, and they fixed it for 100 bucks. There's no way I could have been able to get that done for 100 bucks without American Home Shield. Going through the process is great. When I call, they’re getting electricians, plumbers and roofing people out. They do it really quickly, and it's always really good people. The people are really friendly. They'll ask, "Mask or no masks?" The only thing is I really would like the guys that come out to have the cover for their boots so they won't track in mud.
Overall, American Home Shield is awesome. I'm so happy I signed up. I've told a lot of people that they really need to look into getting the service. American Home Shield covers a lot. I wish they would cover a little bit more with the roofing leaks but other than that, I can't imagine anything else to look forward to in the company.

I've had American Home Shield for two months and I've had two claims. I called for the faucets, the kitchen faucet and the bathroom. There was a leak under my kitchen sink and the service guy changed the hose to make a direct line. He was professional, but he was supposed to come back for another issue and never showed up. I haven't heard from anybody.

I love AHS. It has been fantastic. Unfortunately, we've had to use it twice in the last year, but it was so easy to submit a claim. Didn't even have to think twice. One of our issues was our hot water tank. I was panicking cause it was leaking. I still managed to, in my cloudy, like panicky brain, able to file the claim super fast. The techs gave us instructions over the phone on how to stop it, how to turn it off and relieve the pressure. They were super helpful. Dealing with the different vendors has been super easy, as well. They have always been friendly and helpful.

The service with them has been very good. But if you try to get them by phone, it's a struggle. Also, sometimes service is a little slow due to the supply chain right now. When I had my air conditioner replaced, I had to wait five months for the condenser unit to come in. But other than that, it's fine. Recently, I had a claim for my microwave and oven and the techs did very well. But they didn't complete the repair yet. They're trying to get the light for my microwave right now.

American Home Shield's service sucks. You can never speak to anybody and there's no follow-through. When they tell you they're going to call you back, 90% of the time, they never call you back. The way the warranty program was initially sold to you and the way it really pans out in the end has changed dramatically now. I haven't really had to use it other than to make a call recently. I had them come out and check something out. Everything panned out okay from that particular deal. But in the past, things that they said they were going to do and things that they supposedly want didn't play out the way they said it was going to. The communication with them is the worst thing and their follow-up was even worse.
Most of the contractors that I've had through AHS have done as fine a job as they can based on the commitment from American Home Shield. They're negotiating at a fixed price and it's keeping the bread and butter on the table for them to do those calls, but most of them seem very professional and they spell out to you usually what they can and can't do based on what AHS will honor and they need to usually get back with AHS. I did have a claim on a refrigerator last year. When I bought that refrigerator, it was high-end. They say, "Well, they're gonna replace it with something comparable to what you had." I accepted the buyout on it, and I could never get a refrigerator comparable to what I had based on what they're willing to give me for it. So, that's another outright lie.
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you about your unresolved concerns.

Before, it would take a lot longer to get a response from American Home Shield's customer service, but now, it's so fast. I like that. American Home Shield also has good quality service from their contractors. I had a bad experience with Gary Appliance Repair though. I put a request for my microwave which was not warming up my food. When the technician came, he was getting instruction from the phone. He spent two, three hours then said that the two parts were not working. He told us that he ordered, and it would be fixed once we receive the parts. Later on, he came with the parts and again, it was two, three hours he was on the phone. Then he said the parts that he ordered were okay but there was another issue with another part. He was requesting American Home Shield to replace the microwave.
American Home Shield sent another contractor who said that the microwave was damaged. We received the new microwave and my issue with that contractor was that he spent lots of time and when he put the microwave together, there were a lot of screws leftover. He was not being professional as was expected. It will damage American Home Shield's market experience with their customers if they assign such contractor.
It would be great if there is an application for American Home Shield so we can install and use that app. Also, each year, my payment increases. I was paying 45 then it got increased to 50, and now, I'm paying 56. I'm afraid that in March when my contract will be completed and renewed, it will be another increase. There are a lots of other competitors and if American Home Shield also considers that cost efficiency with their customers, that would be great. But I'm recommending them to my other friends nonetheless.

The heater was working fine but I wasn't getting any heat in my bedroom. I called once back in December but I never heard back from American Home Shield. I called back recently and rescheduled it. I wanted an idea of where I was at, what was going on and what I needed to do. The repairman determined that somewhere along the line, they changed one of the hoses that went into the living room. It was the main one that fed everything. He said they enlarged that one astronomically over the ones that went to the bedroom. Because that one pipe was so big, it was taking everything and nothing else was getting fed. He said, "Cut this one down to almost nothing, and you'll get heat back in that area because everything's wanting to go right here because of the size of that one tube.”
This is my first house and we had a problem immediately with the stove and the dishwasher. We've gotten all that taken care of because we have American Home Shield.

The only issue I have with American Home Shield is that when it's really hot in the summertime and something happens to the air conditioning, they contract with AC companies that take forever to come and that's just unacceptable.

I called an AC issue claim in and waited on the phone for an hour and 15 minutes and they had to transfer me to somebody else. It's just impossible.
The other thing is that when I call in, a lot of times the call is sent overseas. It's very hard for the reps to understand even though their English seems good. We still have to repeat things several times and it's really annoying. Also, I don't feel they're as passionate about customer service as people generally are here in the United States. For the contractors that aren't HVAC, usually, by the next day, we have an appointment. AHS's deductible is pretty high. It's $100 and the monthly is 70 and up.

He called it a skirt on the timer of my dryer, and it snapped off, which threw the timer off and one couldn't find out which setting the dryer was on. It's like a little plastic circle that attaches to the knob that will identify which cycle the dryer is on, so that knob has to be replaced. It took a few days and then he called me back. He came and knocked it out in five minutes.
It was something that I could have done myself, had I done the research. But my wife said to just get them to do it. If it happens again, I won't be paying 100 bucks through American Home Shield to get it done. I'll just order the part and do it myself. But it was nice to see that there was an issue that was quickly resolved and headache-free. Thus far, AHS has been worth the cost because it's like a peace of mind. Also, I did installment payments over the course of six months, or what have you, so it was affordable and manageable on my budget. That way, I didn't kick out the full cost of the yearly insurance upfront. Whether I'll continue the habit for the remainder of my homeownership here, that's to be determined.

If you sign up, be absolutely sure to get an annual plan rather than monthly. If you even accidentally get on a monthly service plan it can not be changed and you will be in the fight of your life to get out. They only allow phone cancellations with a retention specialist. It will take you days of trying to get a hold of one though and hours on hold to reach one. Even if they see how many times you've called and how many hours you have been on hold, expect no sympathy. You will not be released and they will try to collect again even after they have been paid with additional cancelation fees on contracts you may not even have yet. They were wonderful while we had them. But if you get on a monthly payment plan they will not let go or allow you any time away from them and will come back for your money even after all has been paid up and cancelled.
Unbelievably the worst cancellation policies you can imagine. Intentionally no option to cancel without getting through and they WILL make that as hard as possible with no mercy and charge you again on the way out the door. We will never trust them again even after years spent with them as we realize they are intentionally billing people who no longer may need or want their service but can't spent days on the phone to get rid of them. No email, no online option, and not just a phone call to a service agent. You need to reach their retention specialist to cancel and for any one on a monthly plan now, good luck with that.

I switched to AHS to get away from poor quality warranty companies and scams, but alas, I guess they aren’t much better. I paid service fee ($100) for plumber to come out and fix frozen shower valve. SHOWER VALVES ARE COVERED IN MY CONTRACT!! The plumber showed up and told me it was bad and needed to be replaced. He was going to talk to his boss the next morning, then contact AHS, then contact me to let me know. And here’s the scam. The plumber told AHS the valve was functional, but the “cartridge” needed to be replaced. Now friends, my shower uses a cartridge style valve. The cartridge IS the valve. But since the plumber wrote the valve was functional, the repair was out of warranty. The plumber wanted me to pay $250 extra directly to them in order to replace the valve.
The folks at AHS say I need to work it out with the plumber. The plumbers say I need to work it out with AHS. I get the runaround. Because the plumber did not get back to me like they said, and AHS did not call me back at least three times when they said they would, the runaround took more than 3 weeks, which is the limit for a 2nd opinion. By the time I asked for 2nd opinion, AHS said I would need to pay another $100 service fee. A manager was supposed to call me to talk about making an exception, but…you guessed it, no one ever called. I am stuck paying at least double for the issue (which is covered under the warranty) due to poor support and shady contractors.

AHS quoted me one plan and they charged me for another. I want the premium plan with the $125 deductible and they’re charging me for the $100 deductible. Also, the salesman quoted me a special price on it and I never got a special price. I’m still trying to get that straightened out. But I've used the warranty when I had a claim on the furnace and the claims process went through fine. The contractor came in, diagnosed the problem, ordered the part, and came back and installed it.

We've had American Home Shield since we bought the house in May and it works well. When I have an issue, I submit the form online and then, they normally have somebody out within a day. The sensors on the garage door weren’t working properly and the remote for it completely stopped working even after replacing batteries. The contractor came out, replaced the sensors and got me a new remote for it. The guy also oiled everything up to make sure it was running properly. AHS is helpful. One of the pumps on my furnace was bad so the contractor came out over the weekend because it was leaking water on my basement and replaced it. So, AHS saves a lot of money, too, in case anything happens.

I used to be an underwriter and a real estate agent. A lot of the clients would have those home warranty plans and they always spoke very highly of American Home Shield, even our last realtor did for our house in Las Vegas. The last tech I had was very good and he knew exactly what was wrong with my garage door. It’s an older door and he fixed it. Eventually, we’re going to have to replace it, but at least it's running for now. I also filed a claim for the toilet, twice for different reasons, and the tech from Air Pro that AHS sent out was good. He came out, did his job, and was gone.
But the customer service rep on the phone was rude and I could tell she was annoyed with me. At the time, I had to take my daughter to the doctor as she had a medical emergency. We had an appointment scheduled for 10 o'clock in the morning and I talked to the service guy to ask if there was any way he could come back at the end of his day. He told me to just talk to the office and see since I’m at one end of Las Vegas and he was then going to the other end. They were also so shorthanded. But when I called, the rep said that I couldn't do that and that the tech was going to a different part of Las Vegas. I don’t think she likes her job or we don’t know what her life is like, so I don’t want to judge her. But if you’re going to be in a customer service position, you should at least be polite. Other than that, the first person I got when I called there was very nice.

A fan in the unit wasn't pushing the heat. So, the techs that came had to replace that item. So far, so good. I'm ambivalent about having American Home Shield because I've only called them twice in six years. So, that's a lot of money just gone down the drain. I could have saved that money. I still am not decisive but they never tell me when I renew, so I just keep renewing it. But it is nice to be able to call and for them to say, "Okay. We'll get someone out there." Then all I have to do is pay $100. They already have my card, so they just take it. So, that's the convenient aspect.

AHS is an awesome company and I really appreciate it. When the sprocket on top of my garage door opener came off and broke, I got on the website at night on a Sunday and once I submitted the claim, I received a notice that it had been assigned to this contractor. The contractor right away called me the next morning. We talked and they were very professional. Then the following day, came in and did the work really quickly. The guys installed a brand new garage door opener with a pad. It was seamless and they helped me program the board pad. I also had my pool heater go out and the same thing happened. The next day, I had somebody calling me who communicated that they were coming over. They left this morning and everything's repaired.
I've talked to a lot of my friends about AHS and they couldn't believe that you're able to purchase an insurance policy that'd cover appliances in your home regardless of condition, without any questions asked. Four of them said they were going to get policies. So, American Home Shield's performance has been great. I like the way that everything is so automated and they’re true to their word. I also told my friends that you can cheap out and get the coverage with a higher deductible in case you need them. But things are going to break and getting that smaller deductible really helps, especially if one or two items break at a time or become inoperable at a time, to get a way to save some money in the long run. It evens out.

The heater wasn't working. So the contractor had to repair the HVAC system. But I don’t like that submitting the claim is through the website and that AHS doesn’t have a separate app that you can download. There were two parts that the contractor needed for the first time that they had to come back. It took about four weeks for the part to come in. When they received it, they put it in, and then they discovered that there was another crucial part that was not working. We had to put that on order and that took another week and a half to come in. Then they scheduled the repair. It was finally done on Monday and now, the HVAC system works again.

We had the heating break and American Home Shield has been very responsive. The first guy they sent was not so great. But by the third time they sent another guy out, it was good. It was a simple fix and he was great. When our fridge freezer in the garage wasn't working, I put the call in on Sunday afternoon and I got a call on Monday morning saying that the tech was on his way. Unfortunately, it was a waste of money because apparently when it's cold, you have to turn the freezer down, not up. I didn't know that. So that was a simple fix. The AC guy was helpful so I was happy with him.

American Home Shield has good guys working for them so I've never had an issue. I had a claim and the techs came out twice. On the first fix, the appliance went fine for three days then they came back to do the same thing with the water dispenser. After five days, we scheduled a warranty visit. They came back this past Saturday, even though I called them on Thursday telling them, "It's working. Let's postpone this appointment to see if it stops working again." But they didn't have appointments for the next two weeks and said they would make a note that it's working and let the technician come in and he did.
I explained that was happening and he said, "Maybe the line is getting frozen and for that, we'll need to replace the door." My understanding is the door was ordered and it should come and they will be back to replace it. Everything is fine on my part. The appliance is still working. It's just annoying that it stops working then goes back to working again. And when the technician comes, it works.

I knew a couple of people that were working with American Home Shield and had fairly good references, so I went with them too. The main thing that is always irritating is the whole notion of paying the monthly fee and the $100 service fee. Techs come out, look into the problem, and it turns out to be something simple. It's more of a frustration than anything. There should be some discount in instances like where techs do a minor check. For two instances, I paid more than I would have paid to just call somebody out because I thought that there was an issue. When you combine what I'm paying monthly with what I'm paying for the service call, it ends up being more than if I called someone to come out. That makes me think about whether I'm going to consider renewing.
Also on both times, I got people from other countries. Sometimes it's very hard to understand what they're saying. When you are having an issue and you're talking to someone that you are not understanding well and they're not understanding you well either, that could be frustrating, especially when you're dealing with something like water or heat issues. You want to get the problem solved. But once you get past that, it's fine.
Most of the time that I had to call American Home Shield, it's been in the evenings. The places they referred me to followed up fairly quickly. When I had what I thought was a plumbing issue, it ended up being that the garbage disposal was disconnected from a sink somehow. It was an easy fix. When I thought that my heater was burning oil, techs came and checked everything but there was nothing wrong with my heater. Whatever was coming from the next door was coming into my house. In those instances, both companies were professional and came as quickly as possible.

Service tech for refrigerator said it's perfectly normal for my cooling compartment to freeze my food. I've been asking around. It's not normal. I called them back and they said they would order a new thermostat. That's pending. The real issue is my electrical. A whole room has no power to the outlets. Tech came out and said they needed access to the wiring and we would have to tear out our wall. We actually did that (should have known better).
Tech came out and said the damage was due to pests underneath (according to AHS). I think he probably told them it MAY have been due to pests. He can't know because he didn't go underneath. He said he could get it working but it wouldn't be code. Now obviously that is not acceptable. AHS denied his request to add a new circuit. I wanted a 2nd opinion from a journeyman tech that is not beholden to AHS to retain vendor status and they said no. So $100 later, we still have no electric service in that room and our wall is torn out too. Total scam.

We had a long-standing issue with our HVAC. The initial problem was that the AC at the upper level of the house wasn’t working. The contractor put Freon the first time and it didn't work so we called again. Then it was a different person that had gone out because their mannerism's a little bit better and they had a piece that was missing. When the piece arrived and they installed it, it's now working when we have the hot spell in Georgia.
I just wish American Home Shield could handle the follow-through differently. If there was a request made for something to be serviced, then it would be, “Go to the contractor who would come.” “Oh, there's a missing part.” Then we'll say, “Well, it's been two or three weeks now. We haven't heard from you. What's going on?” “Oh, we didn't get it approved.” Or there's some excuse and then we have to go back around and say, “What happened?” Usually, out of the country that we're receiving those customer call and they want to loop it back again. If there was better way to closing the gap with the follow-up if after a service provider went out, a person could survey them, “What was the action? What still needs to be done?” Then that is transferred to the appropriate course to make sure that the customer service rep is calling us to give us an update, as opposed to us calling them constantly to check what’s going on.
In one case where we had to get our appliance replaced after numerous haggling and calls about it, we also had the same situation of never hearing back until we were to call and follow up. The dishwashing machine was supposed to be installed, and for whatever reason, it was miscommunicated whether or not the one that was there would be removed and exchanged. The people who were there that delivered it said that they were not instructed to put it in. Thankfully, I have a very industrious husband so he gets it done. What kind of customer service is that? If we wanted to do that, we could have gone somewhere else, avoided the headache, and put it ourselves. It shouldn't have to be that way.

The claim process is easy and straightforward and the contractors get out pretty quick. But there was one company I dealt with which I wholeheartedly feel AHS should be taking off their network. They were one of the worst I've ever dealt with in my entire life of doing property management. He was being very combative with me. I had to videotape him and kick him off my property. They flooded my backyard and weren't even kind enough to pay me back for the money that they wasted in water.
At the end of December, a tech came for my pool claim and he had to switch out my pump. I'm pretty happy with the repairs. He's really good about diagnosing the issue and making sure the issue is taken care of. He got things taken care of then, but unfortunately, the pump seized up again and I had to call him back out. My only thing is that I was under the impression that with my home warranty my pool pump would be swapped with a new one. It looks like it was swapped with a refurbished pool pump. There are going to be continued issues with this and it's going to be $75 out of my pocket every few months, which I don't want to deal with.
Other than that, AHS is worth it. Go for it. They've been very good about taking care of things for me and they've been very prompt about making sure all the work is done. So I've been very happy with that.

It's a $75 service fee for someone to come out to service me, and most of the time, if I would have just called a technician, it wouldn't have cost me any more than that as I haven't had any big claims before. But AHS has always performed well.
We've had an issue with our microwave door. When we opened it and if we didn't hold it, it would always go down fast. It didn't bother me because I always hold the door every time it goes down, but my wife complained about it a lot. A couple of weeks ago, I went in to use the microwave in the morning to warm my oatmeal and I opened the door. As I was opening it, the whole outer panel just fell on the ground and shattered on the floor. There were little glass pieces all over the place. I also noticed there were several little screws in there with the glass. I looked at the inner panel that helped that shade in, and there were two that were loose on the end while they were still on the inside, and I thought that was the only thing holding the glass in place.
The technicians were out within a matter of a week. They looked and assessed everything and filled out all the paperwork. They said that they advised American Home Shield that there were no replacement parts available for that because of the age. Now I'm waiting for American Home Shield to get back through it.

So far, the associated technicians have been pretty good. I'm familiar with some of the companies in the area that works out. If I had to get a reassignment, that wasn't difficult to do.
We appreciate you taking time to share your warranty experience. We look forward to handling your AHS needs. Have an amazing week.

I like the security of having American Home Shield. Recently, ACS Plumbing came out and they fixed the plumbing issue that I had. Then they charged me money, which they should not have. What happened was that the toilet was broken and they came and said they fixed it, and it doesn't flush now. Then they did something under the sink where they told me it was gonna be $250 over what American Home Shield would pay. Then when they came, they said, "Well, that problem really wasn't there." So, they fixed it. Then they gave me a bill for $50 that I now have to turn into American Home Shield, which is a pain. They did put on the faucet, which was fine.
An electrician also came in. I've never used the remote. I always use my turn off switch. The new fan isn't working in the ceiling, but he can't test it because I don't have the remote. So now, I'm gonna have to go buy a remote so he can test it. That was annoying as well. Then, a guy came in for the refrigerator, which was for an ice maker issue. All he did was exactly what I do all the time. The ice maker gets stuck, and you have to empty it and it starts working again. He just came in and emptied it. I want to know why it's getting stuck all the time. I wouldn't recommend American Home Shield right now. I am thinking of looking at other home warranties because I'm very disappointed with this that's been going on.
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you about your unresolved concerns.

Having AHS as our warranty provider has been real good so far. We get people out right away and they only charge $135 usually. My dishwasher went out and they replaced it. The claim was 125 and they gave me 500 and something dollars to get a new one. I got a new dishwasher from them. Also, they fixed my furnace one day. I know that would have cost me a lot and that was like the regular 125 for the call and they paid for the rest. Then, I found a leaky pipe under my sink. They called a plumber in and he had to replace it and put a new pipe in there. He did a good job on that.
Thanks for sharing your AHS experience. Please let us know if you need assistance in regards to your warranty.

American Home Shield is very easy to work with. When things pop up, it's nice to have the warranty behind you. They had somebody out the next day and we were good to go. My hot water heater exploded and the claims process was very easy. I did it all online and it took me about three minutes. We’ve used the plumber before. The contractor is a very nice company and they cleaned up after themselves. They kept in touch with us, letting us know the status of the order and that they talked to American Home Shield. They were great.

I had a claim for my dishwasher and it took six months to get it done. But the people who came and repaired the dishwasher did fine. I have huge complaints for American Home Shield. The first would be that anytime I want to get something done, it took forever to get on the line with a person. Then when I did get on the line with a person, half the time, they lose the call, or somehow I get hung up on. I end up having to call back and wait again for however long until I get back through to someone. It would be common sense and common courtesy for them to have my number, and if somehow we get disconnected, it'd be really nice if they just called me back. So I didn't have to go through the whole hour-long spiel of getting someone on the phone again.
I've had times where I've been disconnected about five times, and it's not my phone. I have no connectivity problems when I've talked to anyone else. But for some reason, when I'm calling into American Home Shield, it seems like suddenly I had connectivity problems, and it's not like I'm being rude or shouting or screaming. I'm always very polite.
I've used American Home Shield a lot. When my oven gave out, they gave me $1,200 for a new oven. It would cost me 4,400, so that really didn't do me any good. But they were like, “Well, if we were going to buy it, this is what we’d get it for.” Also, it takes six months to a year to get stuff fixed in my experience. So it takes so long. I would never recommend American Home Shield to anyone.

We had a problem with our dishwasher so I called American Home Shield and a repairman came out. He saw the problem, ordered the part, came back, and installed it. When the dishwasher was making this horrible clanging noise, I called again. The tech came out and checked it. He found something else wrong. He ordered a part, came back, and put that part in. He ran the cycle so he could actually hear what was going on and discovered something else and said the machine was dead.
I have been going through American Home Shield's portal trying to pick out a replacement for the dishwasher. I've been having trouble because I like to go to Lowe's or some store and see what the inside of the machine looks like. I can't always find some of the models I want to look at. I want to look at it before I order it because there's a lot of difference. Also, we plan to upgrade. We haven't replaced our dishwasher yet and it's been almost over a month.
On the whole, I'm satisfied with our service. The repairman tried everything he could to fix the dishwasher and discovered what was the main cause was. It's just a matter of trying to figure out which model I want and how to go about it because it's hard to order it online. I'm going to call in an order because I don't see that well on my iPad. I'm still more comfortable speaking with an agent. I talked to somebody yesterday and she was very helpful. She gave me some tips and I appreciated that. I want to talk to her again but when I asked if I could call back and get her, she said that there are so many offices.
The only criticism I have is American Home Shield can't get parts. They always have to send away for the parts. I understand that it's nobody's fault, but the supply chain. You have to wait for everything. Otherwise, American Home Shield has been prompt. They use the company AM PM and they are very good. They keep in touch. When they first schedule you, they say, "He'll be here Monday morning between 8:00 and 12:00." The day before, they will narrow it down for a two-hour window. The repairman texts me or calls me when he's 10 minutes away. They've always been on time and I have been happy with that company.

I had six different calls to come out and repair my refrigerator. It was not cooling, and the freezer part was not freezing. This was a Kenmore Elite, and the first fellow came out and indicated that he did not work on that type of refrigerator. Someone else was assigned to work on it, and when I told him what kind it was, he didn't work on that kind too. That happened again with a third person. Somebody came out later and decided that it was a part that needed to be replaced and he couldn't replace it. Somebody from Sears then came out, and they couldn't repair it then somebody else from Sears came. They repaired the problem, but while repairing it, there was a leak from the water line that was created by a previous contractor
The last person that came out from Sears, it seems to have alleviated the problem as far as the refrigerator and freezer temperatures, and I'm satisfied now. The dissatisfaction comes in because it took so long to get the problem fixed. All my food that was in the refrigerator and the freezer had to be discarded. If somebody from Sears had come out in the initial call, then I could have saved a bunch of food. The other thing that I'm dissatisfied with is without notice, there was an increase in cost. The cost was 70 then the next time I looked at it, it was 80.
I had Sears prior to American Home Shield, and I find them much better than Sears. Am I going to continue with American Home Shield? Yes. Customer service was outstanding. As soon as I talked to someone, they were interested in getting that $100 upfront, which I don't have a problem with. Every time I called and talked to someone or they called me, then they moved. It was a great turnaround time.

The washing machine was making a lot of noise and OC Electronics came out. They said the issue was bearings. But it took a really long time to get the part and I was not getting any updates on it. I would call the contractor and I couldn't get to them for about a month. So I would like for American Home Shield to have more contact, and to be able to tell their contractors to give an update to the person they’re working with. When the contractor finally got the part, they came back and fixed it. We got another problem developed. But then they came back and fixed it. So, I’m satisfied with that. It only cost me $100 to get it fixed.

So far, my experience with them has been outstanding. I've been happy with them. No issues with at all with reporting claims or submitting them. And I usually have a person out that same day either within a few hours or maybe close to closed business. There was a leak on the pressure tank above the water heater. The plumber addressed it right away. He put in a temporary part to stop the leak. That way, we could have the water turned back on until they return on Friday with the part.

I bought a special kind of policy, which was a buyer’s policy because this is a new home for me. Sometimes, you go into homes and you don't know until you’re there for a couple of months and you find out some things. American Home Shield's policy is that if you go in and if you discover something, on day one, I can start making claims and get them out there to fix it. So I'm trying to take advantage of that situation because I paid for it. I had a couple of leaks underneath my sink and the plumber fixed one of them. The other one is still outstanding and I called AHS last night to inquire about that. According to their notes, the plumber didn't report on the second, which was the garbage disposal. So, they were going to reach out to the plumber to see what was the problem with it. When the plumber responds, they said they’d get back with me.
When I first called AHS, the rep was friendly. I got a rekey maybe a day before I got them and I didn’t know that you can rekey or get them to pay to rekey your home. But their policy is if I didn't go through them, they couldn’t reimburse me. So that was the only little gripe I had. But other than that, the customer service was good and I have no complaints there.

We had an issue with the hot water heater and it took AHS almost a month to get us a new hot water heater because AHS kept screwing up. At one point, AHS told the vendor to go to a place to pick it up. When they went to that place, the vendor went there to pick it up, and the place said, "We don't have any hot water heater for you." AHS told the vendor to go to the wrong place. So that was a whole big mess.
It seems like over the years AHS has gotten worse. It seems like the vendors and contractors that AHS is using are getting goofier and goofier. It gets to a point where I start to wonder, “Why am I still using AHS?” I'm paying $600 a year and everything becomes a struggle. I've been a customer for 17 years, in the beginning, we never had a problem. After we moved into this condo, the hot water heater that was here prior to us living here went, within two days it was replaced. Then here it is, years later, the hot water heater went. We needed to get a new one. It took AHS almost a month playing games. We had to go to somebody else's house every day to take showers.
They also came last night for the microwave. The techs installed it. But I didn't expect anybody to be coming at 5:45. They said between 12:00 and 5:00. When the guys arrived, they said they were running late. I was like, "Okay, fine. You're here, put it in." When the guys came at 5:45, I said to them, "Somebody was supposed to call me to let me know what time to expect you." He said, "Oh, nobody called to say we were running late?" I said, "No." I had called the vendor and their office closed at 4:30. So all I got was the voicemail. I left a voicemail saying, "Here it is. 5:30, the workmen are not here yet. I want that microwave installed. I need somebody to get back to me." Then 15 minutes later, that was when the doorbell rang for the condo, they were here. Going through the process was dissatisfying. But once it got installed, everything was okay.
I should not have to be the one micromanaging this process. When I make a call to AHS, I expect AHS to make the arrangements, deal with the vendors. Then I expect the vendor to call me with a simple, "We're getting it and this is the date we're bringing it." I shouldn’t have to make follow-up calls to the vendors. I shouldn't have to make follow-up calls to AHS. Then, it seems like every time I call AHS, I'm routed to some call center in some other country. Then I have to explain everything to them. I have to hope they understand the English I'm using.

American Home Shield sent someone out here. They said there was a little part that needed to be covered up, and that the heat should be on within an hour to an hour and a half. They told me just to leave the unit on. So, I left it on. All day long, no heat. I called them back and told them that. And they made another appointment to come back out here. They looked at it, and the little part was frozen. It was covered with ice. They said that was the problem with it. So, they had to order the part. They said it would be a little while. A week or so later, they called to make an appointment to come and install the part. We made an appointment. A half an hour later, they called me back and said that it would be $600 out of my pocket. I said, “Woah, woah, wait a minute.” That is where the issue started happening.
I got in touch with someone in American Home Shield. They told me that I have to pay it, and that was in the contract. So, I looked at the contract. And lo and behold, there was a little thing where they paid a small portion of it, but I had to pay the lion’s share. And not being a contractor, I had no clue that something like that was so expensive. Because I thought I had the best that they had to offer, but apparently not.
I had a very hard time getting customer service because it was all outsourced. And that was very frustrating. I talked to more than a half a dozen people, trying to get things taken care of. Finally, I talked to someone who wanted to me get a second opinion. I said I didn’t know that was an option. So, I got that, and it was different from the first one. Still, no one told me anything about how much it would cost me. So, I said that they sent me an email saying they gave me a choice of fixing it myself or having the contactors come out. I talked to someone in customer service who said that they would reimburse me the $100 that I paid for it because of the length of time that it took to come out, to get the issue resolved, which still hasn't happened.
It would be better if AHS would, in the beginning, tell people that there are certain exceptions to certain things. Because no one knows that there will be a cost out of pocket until it actually happens. And it would have been nice to sit down and go over certain things, especially high-cost items, like the refrigerant. Because that’s the whole purpose of me getting insurance in the first place, so that I wouldn't come up with that. I’m a senior citizen and disabled, so is my wife, and we’re on a fixed income. So, trying to come up with money at the spur of the moment is very difficult.
The first contractor was the one who came out and looked at my unit for the summer to prepare it for getting cool, to get the air conditioning, make sure it was all up to date. He was the same guy who came out here to do that. And he came out again to fix it for the heat, and that was when all the problems started. He talked about the unit outside and didn’t mention anything about the unit upstairs. Apparently, that’s where the big problem is. And my big problem is if the refrigerant is leaking and they put more in there, and it leaks out, do I have to pay another 600 or $700 to do that again? The first one said it was $600 worth that had to be put in, and the second one said it’s about $700 that need to be put in. I figured they knew what they were doing.

My freezer went out, they send a guy who was not authorized to make repairs, only look at the problem. Then it took another 2 weeks to get it fixed, I lost around $200 for frozen items. Not acceptable. When my washer stopped working the repair person said it's cause I overloaded it, not true. I had to argue to get someone else to look at it, and they said it's just old. They outsourced the call center overseas, and I can’t understand the rep most of the time. You assign contractors who are so busy they have trouble scheduling, so then I try and get a different contractor assigned and I face GREAT resistance from the call reps! Not fun. Then I go the cancel and you slap an “ADMIN” fee to cancel, that’s such **. Never be a customer again, cancelled all 3 polices and my GF she also cancelled. So much work dealing with these people!

The convenience and peace of mind of having this warranty has been good. But it's a hit or miss in terms of when people come out and look at something and what they say and what they can do or not do. I've put in four service calls and the most memorable one was the pool company. The contractor was very responsive, very timely, and fixed my issue immediately. However, I have not had the best experience with my heater repair in terms of the timeliness of response. Originally, the first two or three times the contractor came out, they just sent a freshman technician who didn't know what he was doing. Then from the time of that I would go into American Home Shield and request service, the fact that it took them a week or two just to get me on their schedule when it was 30 degrees was not okay.
Another thing, like American Home Shield, the first time they came out, they were like, "Oh, it's this, but we don't have the part. So we're gonna have to order the part. And that might take us about a week before we get back to you." The last time around, I just called a heater company and pay for it out of my pocket because it was the fourth time the contractor had come out. It just wasn't worth going through my warranty to continue to have to deal with a company like that. The timeliness and response time considering that a consumer is paying a $100 deductible just to get someone out is important.

My air conditioner was leaking and the repair people fixed it. I had to pay out of pocket for some of it because they had to redo something, and American Home Shield didn’t cover it. When you apply for something, they should let you know if it’s covered before the person comes out. When the plumber came, he walked around the house, came back and said, “Oh, American Home Shield don’t cover it.” He didn’t do anything and I still had to pay the $100. It was a waste.
