The dishwasher was not running a full cycle. The company came out, assessed the situation, and did a diagnostic on it. They ordered the parts and then 10 days later, they scheduled a time to come out and replace them. Since then, it’s been working fine.

I wasn’t very happy with American Home Shield. It was a very lengthy claim for the hot water heater that was leaking as far as the turnaround time and the explanation of the extra cost that we had to pay out of pocket. I felt yanked around for that whole month we were waiting for a hot water heater. My husband met with the technician the first time and he seemed fine. But when I would try to email or call them, we never got ahold of them. He came out the 20th of December and said they would submit what was wrong with hot water heater. From then on, I called them. My call went to voicemail. They were supposed to call us back but never did. When I would email them, they would ask if I agreed to the charges. I asked them if they could explain to me what the charges were and they would never answer me. I wouldn’t want to work with them again. I even called American Home Shield to ask if they could send someone else out.
I kept calling back to American Home Shield. Somehow, someone sent me to the payout department and I was able to understand that person. It was $650 worth of modifications. I didn't understand that and no one would explain to me what exactly it was for. She had said we could do a payout or find somebody. But when I understood what it was, that amount probably was cheaper. Then it still took some time because they said their supplier needed to reorder it as it was not in stock.
When the contractor finally came out and do the hot water heater, they put it in. The only thing is they thought something went to the filler so it didn't have water to our last bathroom and bedroom. They came back out last week and fixed that. However, there's still a leak from something. The repairman told me if it's still leaking over the week, they can look at it. I'm confused and don't even know what this is and what this is going to cost. That would be another claim.
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you about your unresolved concerns.

You have to pay a co-pay for having this service. But for example, with the hot water heater that could have cost anywhere up to 1,000, that was beneficial not having to pay out-of-pocket. It was just that American Home Shield didn't cover the hot water heater issue we had because of something dealing with the state, which on the other home warranty, we didn't have that issue. The contractor that they sent for that were nice people. Then with our garage door issue, the tech that came out got it fixed.

My AC is working again so I feel like Billy's A/C Service did a great job. This was the second time they've come out. They've been very quick both times to get out and get me heat. The only thing is I normally just pay for the $100 copay, but they had to put Freon in my unit so I had to pay for the Freon which was about another $100. Also, I paid for the more upgraded versions than my friend. And it seemed like she had more benefits than I did, which I don't know if it's because I had it longer. I did call Billy's back and asked about that and they said something that I would need to cancel my service through AHS and get a new policy to be under the new changes, which I thought was kind of ridiculous. Other than that, everything's good with American Home Shield.

I have a little bit of an issue with American Home Shield. Our order was supposed to be acknowledged and the information sent to us because our washer was not repairable according to the gentleman that came out and checked it. So, we ordered a new one from the company and we hadn't had any response back. We had called for the exception of the response for who the person that was supposed to be bringing and delivering and installing it. I had that number and we've called that twice. The first time, we got hung up on. The second time, they didn't know about the order. So, we waited two more days and called Home Shield. They sped it up. We just got a notification today that it's going to be delivered on the 9th of February. We had an order that we did have problems with in the beginning, but it was between the shipper and the installer and Home Shield did straighten it out.
We had a previous repair for the garbage disposal right after we moved into our condo. The gentleman came out and fixed that the first time. We've been here about a little over a year, and we had another call that we had to put in because it was leaking all over the bottom of the cabinet. It was not related at all to the first gentleman that came and repaired it because it worked for quite a while after that. But it was something that they had to replace.

The fan or the motor of the refrigerator went out. The young kid came three times and he wasn't able to fix it. I talked to AHS again. It's been about five days and there was supposed to be a second opinion and it was supposed to be within 24 to 48 hours. Well, I haven't heard from anybody. It's horrible. It gets so loud sometimes and sounds like it's going to blow up. American Home Shield gets on the problem right and calls the people for me. They have set up things. But I'm not getting any return calls from those people they've set up so I don't understand that. They should get rid of those people that do not answer their phones and find somebody else. They have a machine to do it. Overall, they've been great and they get right on it.

American Home Shield has a fairly simple claims submission process. You could call in or do it online. When my exhaust fan in the master bathroom wasn't working, somebody came out and repaired it. He addressed the issue and he was professional. Overall, AHS could send notifications that prices were going to be increased for my plan.

We've always been pretty good with American Home Shield. We've only ever gotten one bad contractor but that was many years ago, and then American Home Shield didn't make us use them again. They've always come through for us, and they're always prompt. Also, the price is good. When the washer quit working, the technician got it working but he said it could go out anytime. So he had to replace the pump and he had to order it.

I called recently about the leak on my water heater. The tech came out pretty quickly. He was done in 40 minutes and he told me what he did. I found out my water heater is 40 years old but the guy told me it was still in great working condition and so I took his word for it. American Home Shield covered stuff that wasn't repairable to begin with.

American Home Shield is really nice and really, really friendly. They are very helpful. But it takes a long time to connect and get things done through all the subcontractors they give you. My refrigerator broke down on December 28 and the parts were ordered on January 12. The guy from Express Appliance just installed the parts last week and it’s still making the same noise. Express Appliance is no good. When I had something else happen and American Home Shield said they were going to give me Express Appliances, I told them, “Please give me someone else.” So they sent me GE Appliances. American Home Shield is great but their subcontractors are not up to spec. I live in South Plainfield, New Jersey and most of these subcontractors are coming from 30 or 40-minute rides from me. Also, a lot of their subcontractors close at 4:00.
I have a dishwasher that still hasn't been installed. It's been a month now. Mr. Appliance was supposed to do the dishwasher. I called the lady and said, “You're supposed to come to do the dishwasher.” She said, “We don't do dishwashers.” So I’m wondering why American Home Shield connected them to me to do the dishwasher. I called American Home Shield and they said Mr. Appliance handles dishwashers. Then someone from her office called me on Friday night at 7:00 and said they're coming Monday. I asked her, “Aren't you the one who adamantly said, 'I don't do dishwashers'?” She said, “We're making a special deal for you.” That makes no sense.

We had pipes and water line hoses that were leaking, and the guy that came did what he had to do with the water pipes. We hadn't turned the water back on right then. A couple of days or so later, because we were doing some repainting and stuff in the house, we turned the water on, and one of the pipes was still leaking. So, he came back out and evaluated the situation. He left. Then he called back when he got what he needed, and he came back and fixed it. So, he's very professional. He did an excellent job. As far as American Home Shield, they are true to their word and that means a lot to me.

We had a lot of issues in one bathroom, low to no water pressure in both tanks, the toilet wasn't filling up properly and there was smell coming from the drain. The contractor gave us some stuff to clean the drains, fix the toilet, and replace some pipes underneath the faucet. Everything worked except for the faucet so we're going to have to do a faucet replacement. I was told that that ticket had to be closed out, and then we'll do a recall where they come back out and we try something else to fix the problem. On the website, I would have liked a comment section where I could kind of explain what was going on instead of just ticking the boxes because it was several things that were kind of connected. But it ended up being okay because Mr. Rooter called and I explained it to them.

I've used American Home Shield a few times and I've been pretty happy with the service. They're always really prompt to get someone here as quickly as they can. A couple of times, they had to order parts for me. We've lived in the house for 10 years, and the garage door wasn't going down, but it would come up. The guy got here and he kind of knew what the problem was. We'd deduced that when we were removing our Christmas decorations out, someone might have kicked the little photosensor on the bottom and it was out of alignment. I had checked my owner's manual to troubleshoot and it said to look for the light that was on there. The light was on. But he said, “You have to really get down on your knees and look at it directly because if it's flickering, it's not set. It has to be steady light." So he adjusted it and it worked fine.
When I do a repair request online, within 10 minutes, I get an email telling me to either call the contractor or they will contact me within 24 hours. That's always been the case. We have a ceiling fan in our bedroom that we paid a lot of money for and the remote control went out on it. They replaced the remote control with something that didn't have all the features of the original. I pointed it out to the guy before he left, but he said that was the only remote control that Home Shield would cover. I read on the contract that that's their prerogative to do that.
The original remote might not have even been available anyway, because at that time, it was about eight years old. But the ceiling fan works good. We can control it on and off. But a lot of the variable speeds or brightness don't work. I also called Home Shield for the water heater one time, but they said that it was a maintenance issue and they don't cover maintenance issues. Other than those two instances, every other time they've been really prompt and professional. Also, the people they send out are local people.

With AHS it's always been a really good process. I pay the $120 deductible and they schedule the service. I’ve never had a bad problem where they didn't take care of something or didn't cover something. I had a leaking faucet in my bathtub. AHS gave Patriot Plumbing a call and they called me. They thought the issue was a bad cartridge in the faucet control so they fixed that as well as a weepy sink in the bathroom. That went really well.
I have another claim there's an electrical company that AHS sent out to replace a basement bathroom fan. The only issue is that the fan unit they found for replacement didn't have a light on it where my previous one did. So they said they were going to come back with the internal guts of the replacement to put a light in. They have come back yet and it's been a week.
AHS's warranty is a good value. Like in the case of the bathroom cartridge for the leaky tub faucet, the cartridge itself was $90. So if I pay the $120 deductible, and the part itself is 90 bucks, the warranty closely pays for itself with the service.

My washer, dryer and refrigerator had issues simultaneously. First was the call for the dryer then two days later, both the washing machine and the refrigerator broke. The repair man had to fix the springs in the washer and the tumbler, and now, it's working great. The dryer had the clip in the front that couldn't shut the door, so we had to replace that. With the refrigerator, ice had built up and was stopping the fan. It was the heating mechanism that wasn't heating and the repair man had to replace it. He had to come out a couple of times because he didn't know that was the heating mechanism till he started pulling apart the refrigerator. He was great.
Overall, everything's well and I've been happy. I'm waiting now for the plumber for my toilet and sink that's decided to break down on me. Every single time I turn around, something else keeps on breaking, so American Home Shield has come cost-effective for me. Because if I was to have the plumber and everybody else keep on coming in, it gets expensive.

I bought a new home a little less than a year ago, I filed a claim because my hot water heater was leaking...specifically the drain catch pan. They sent someone over who replaced a valve, and declined the pan. In the mean time, the value did not fix anything, the pressure release valve is still constantly dumping water out of it... Yes, into the pan, which leaks. We kept calling and getting blown off by the plumber. Needless to say I spoke to them again today and they ask me to pay another $75. I said, "Why would I pay you again to fix the same problem that you didn't fix the first time (multiple), I have no confidence that paying again will result in my satisfaction." All in all, this company and warranty is fraudulent. I'd urge anyone reading this to choose some else to protect your investment.

I called American Home Shield out to check my furnace and ATR came out. I told them I need a new thermostat. If I set it, it's not coming on when it's supposed to. The tech checked the thermostat and checked under the house. But he didn't do anything for me. I was told that I got to show him what it is. It has to be doing it when the tech gets here. That's 75 dollars every time I call and AHS has given ATR twice. I'm not really happy with them. Also, I called twice and they keep telling me I'm first in the queue. I'm not first in the queue. If I were first in the queue, I wouldn't be sitting on the phone for 15 and 20 minutes and nobody has come to the phone.
I had another claim at the rental property where it was something wrong with the pipes under the house. The contractor came out there and he told me the whole house needs to be replumbed and it'd be $5,000. He sent that to American Home Shield and they rejected it. I called my personal plumber and he replumbed everything that needed to be done for $800. The contractors are not as good as they used to be. I'm thinking about dropping American Home Shield because I'm not satisfied with these people who keep coming here. They better start cracking down on their contractors. It used to be good. I've had American Home Shield for 12 years. They even gave me new refrigerators and washing machines and they didn't have any problem with replacing those. But American Home Shield is not doing it anymore. They're disgusting to me.

The contractor fixed what needed to be fixed and everything was covered, except that $100 fee that I have to pay which is fair. I was pleased with the two things that had to be done. I had had a new dishwasher installed. The guys who installed it did it properly but they told me that there was a leak in my hot water pipe and that they didn't have anything with them to fix it.

About a year ago, we had a claim for a toilet. They never finished fixing it and we couldn't get him to finish fixing it. We just gave up and got an outside person to work on it. At that time, we said we'd give American Home Shield one more time because we had had them for so long and we were happy with them. But after this last experience, we're done.
We had a bad experience with the refrigerator claim. The first group that came out said it can't be fixed. The tech said they would tell American Home Shield but AHS said they were not giving me a new refrigerator and they were going to get somebody else. The second contractor came out and they were awful. They did something in the refrigerator but what needed to be fixed was the icemaker and they didn't fix it. We talked to AHS again and they sent the third person out. The third contractor came out and ordered two more parts. It took a long time but they fixed it.
The whole process took three months. It was three months without using the freezer because we couldn't put anything in the freezer. They said to not put anything in it because when they come out, it has to be emptied. We lost all the food. I could have just gone buy a new refrigerator for all that aggravation. We also had a claim for our fireplace and SG Heating and Cooling came out. But they said they don't know anything about it and they couldn't do it. So we paid the $100 and we got a different company to fix it. I've canceled the warranty.
We do appreciate your feedback and apologize that this issue has caused you to cancel your warranty. It is not our intent to cause a difficult experience, and hopes that you would consider joining the AHS team in the near future. Have a great day!

I had a situation about a year ago where the garage door spring broke on the garage door. I went online and reported it. American Home Shield sent somebody and it turned out that it wasn't covered and I still had to pay my fee. I had to go on my own and get it. I felt that I was cheated or taken advantage of just because somebody showed up to look at it and American Home Shield could have told me that and just turned it off. I was very upset about that. The second situation I had was with the microwave, and it took three or four tries, but the tech finally got it fixed.
Then just two or three months ago, our refrigerator ice maker broke. The guy showed up and said, "We need to buy the part. But when you do that, you have to replace a whole door because they don't sell the part. So American Home Shield gonna have a problem with this." Weeks went by and I would follow up on it and said that it was damaged or abused that we had done, and it wasn't covered. We threw a fit on that.
Another guy came out who said that these things wear out and that American Home Shield doesn't like paying for this, so we might have some pushback on this. I said, "Well, let's try again." He came back a couple of weeks later and said that the parts were being made separately now so he was able to fix it. I understand that American Home Shield doesn't want to pay a lot of money to fix things that are not their fault. But by the other hand, it seems like they are trying to avoid making repairs and just collecting our money on a monthly basis.
I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused. My name is Stacy and I will contact you about your unresolved concerns.

There were a couple of instances that I was not happy with American Home Shield's service. My microwave broke around the 1st of October. I filed a claim and it took them all the way until close to December to get it fixed. I was told by the company that was contracted to fix it that they didn't have the part or it was American Home Shield's fault that it wasn't in. Then they ordered the wrong part and American Home Shield told me that. They were back and forth finger-pointing. I was not happy and so I called. They waived the $100 fee. But they put me in a big bind because of Thanksgiving as I had no microwave. I had dinner at my house so it was very inconvenient. I had to stay on top of the company as they didn't call and kept me updated like they should have. I kept having to call them to find out, "Where's the part? What's going on? How come the part is not in?"
My microwave was silver and black, and the guy that came to fix it at first had a white keyboard panel. He wanted me to just keep it until he could get the other part. I said I won't keep that part because my microwave is silver and he should not put a white panel on there then leave and say that he fixed it. He would have to order the right part then bring it back and fix it, which took forever.
The next thing was my washing machine went out and I filed a claim for that. The people whom AHS sent out looked at it and said that both tubs needed to be replaced which is about $300 apiece plus what would AHS cost for them to fix it. They would let me know what AHS's decision would be and give them a day or two to get the results. I called their office for two weeks. I still to this day never got a call saying what they were going to do. I waited almost a month before they told me that they were going to go ahead and offer me a replacement washer. All that time they told me the part was being ordered. I tried to talk to a supervisor, and the $100 fee for that was waived because again, this was unacceptable. It took me a month and a half to finally get my washing machine a replacement ordered.
When the washing machine came, I assumed that the people who came and evaluated the situation as to what was wrong with my washing machine would have looked at everything. One of the connections in the back of the washing machine where the hoses were hooked up was so rusted to the wall because it was on there so long and they couldn't get it off. They said that I would have to get those hoses replaced before they could hook it up. Well, if I was told about that, I could have had that done the whole month and a half that I've been waiting to get my washing machine. I had to file another claim to have the plumber come out and fix my connectors so the washing machine could be hooked up. Those two things were not good. I was totally dissatisfied.

My refrigerator was freezing at the top but wasn't getting cold at the bottom. The techs came out quickly but they had to order a part. When they came back a week later, one of the parts was the wrong one so they had to reschedule and it took another week. But when they were finally able to get the correct one, it was good. The guy told me to enjoy my new refrigerator so we’re enjoying it.
It’s nice to have the home warranty but I found out that American Home Shield doesn’t cover everything, mainly the garage. They covered some of the basic stuff. They had to come out two times because they didn't fix the issue the first time and we found out that it was the brain box that needed replacing. So they had to order that and put that up. But it shocked me that but they don't cover the garage door. The guy said that most standard warranty insurance don't cover the door. I asked the person that when I called AHS and she didn’t know either. Still, AHS did the work and I will recommend them. The two things I had done are working fine so I’m satisfied with them.

I called in and requested service for the washing machine. I was very specific about what it was not doing and that it wasn't agitating. The rep did a video with me, too, and I pointed to the part and told her it was not going back and forth. What the rep put down when they sent out the technician was that it wasn't going through a cycle. The tech from Accord Appliance didn't have the part that he needed. He said he had them but didn't put them in his truck because that was not what the work order said. If a rep doesn't understand how an appliance works, they shouldn't be answering the phone. The tech had to come out again a couple of days later. Other than that, the overall claim service has been very good.

The time before this time, they're sending people out that don't know how to repair anything.
The problem is the people who they have answering the phones. I have a really hard time understanding them and they have to repeat themselves quite a few times. Then if I try to elevate any issues that I have that I know are not right they won't page the manager. Also, they won't transfer me to the cancellation department because I really wanted to cancel because I was having a really hard time with them. It felt like I was talking to a shark. The rep wouldn't let me get past her for anything and she wouldn’t listen to me.
I had to call in 10 times before I got help. They transferred me to the cancellation department and they had someone come. That person didn't know what to do. I said, “Don't tell the next service repair company that you guys called. Don't tell them what the issue is. I want a second opinion. Let them determine it.” They sent another personnel and they almost didn’t give me a second opinion. The tech already knew what the issue was. I said, ”They weren't supposed to tell you.” And he said, “Yeah, you got stupid Samsung. You have a generic Samsung. What do you expect?” Also, they were trying to charge me $75 again. I didn't trust what they were telling me. They're saying there's nothing wrong with my dryer when it was not heating so it wasn't drying my clothes. I said, “I don't understand this. I want to cancel.” And AHS gave me a free service charge which is what I used on one of the last calls and they gave me a $300 check for my dryer.
Recently, there was no hot water coming out of the heater. The last service was really excellent. But, I would have a very hard time recommending American Home Shield. The treatment that I had in 1999 'til I moved out here in 2011 was excellent. From then, it's just been going downhill. The time I had the worst experiences was 2020-forward. I've had some bad experiences before that but not like it has been these three years.

Submitting claims on my computer through the dashboard is easy for me. We've had a few service requests and they were all been done pretty well. We had one where, unfortunately, our issue was not resolved. So, AHS is sending out the same people again. Other than that, so far so good for the service requests we've had so far. Our garbage disposal was clogged and that was perfect. They swapped it out for a new one. They also replaced our garage door opener. AHS is a good company.

I'm very satisfied with the service. They're responsive. When the contractor is identified and notified they are responsive and timely. I’m satisfied with the work that they do. If I had to shop for my own and identify my own contractor or pay for the response fee, the parts and the labor, I'm sure I would have paid five times as much as I've had to pay thus far had I not had American Home Shield.
My experience has been fair and reasonable except for one. The work that the contractors sustains itself. I've never had to call them back for a second repair. In some cases, they give me some additional preventive maintenance advice. Then they identify other things that don't necessarily fall into the repair, but because of those observations, I was able to get some other work done that sustains my house. So, AHS is pretty good.

This company is so criminal. Please stay away. As a new homeowner we had an urgent leak. Their plumber they assigned to us never called us. I had to keep calling them to resolve this (IT HAD BEEN DAYS AT THIS POINT). They approved that I get an outside technician. So I had to do the work and secure this other company. When they got here they told me they would charge $200 to even look at everything and give me a diagnosis.
We called them together and AHS said they couldn't approve anything until the company diagnosed the issue and spoke to them. So they went ahead and diagnosed the issue, documented it and spoke to TWO of their reps on the phone about it. This was not sufficient for them to approve the repairs. They still won't even approve the diagnosis. They are such scum. Stay far away. Also the team members will tell you they will reach out to you and they never will. You have to keep calling to get anywhere. It's so sad. You could have a huge emergency with your home and they do not care and will let a service request sit open for weeks.

I've had to do a little bit of legwork to follow up on stuff and the techs came out to my house seven times trying to figure out an appliance. Right now, I called them out for a bunch of faucets and a hose bibb. The plumbers told me on multiple occasions that hose bibbs are not covered. However, in my plan, it does list hose bibb as being covered. Then, the plumbers continued to tell me that the only kind of hose bibbs that are covered are the frost-free hose bibbs, but it does not say that in my agreement. So, as of now, with A Plus Plumbing, I don't know what's going on with my faucets. They came out to fix them or replace them. The guy said that they were going to replace all of them but I called American Home Shield and they said I got to call A Plus. I called A Plus, left a message, and called again. But there had been no communication with this situation and as a consumer, I don't know who I should call on my behalf.
Sometimes American Home Shield tells you to call the person, but then you're just speaking with a certain department in American, not the right department. It seems like there are too many departments on the American Home Shield side and I don't know as a consumer which department I'm supposed to speak to. I would think that American would be on my behalf to follow up the contractor instead of me being the middleman. So, in this situation, I feel like I'm a middleman instead of American Home Shield being the middleman. Other than that, I would suggest anyone to buy American Home Shield.

I like that with American Home Shield, if something comes up, I can pay the visit fee and a lot of stuff will be covered. My washer and dryer had been acting up for a couple of weeks and I finally found my paperwork and reached out to them. The techs came out and looked at it both, and ordered the part. Then, they came back and fixed it. It took probably about two weeks because the part had to be ordered and we had to wait for it to come in. The contractor was great as well as the service technician. He seemed knowledgeable, very courteous and quiet. He did his job and left. So, I have no complaints at all. It's been a great experience with AHS so far. You'll never know when an unexpected cost arises so when you're paying the $100 or whatever I'm paying every month, it makes that process less stressful. Then, they usually cover the replacement part. I heard they will replace the item if it needed replacing. But I haven't gotten there yet.

For the most part, AHS is very good. However, the first year that I had it, I had a lot of claims. So, the price almost doubled in the second year. After I talked to a few different representatives, they were like, "Oh, that's not right," and they finally dropped it back down. If I wouldn't have questioned them, I would have been paying double. But I like that I can do pretty much everything online. Then, I normally hear back from them within 24 hours, and then everything goes from there and they work very well with my schedule. They're timely and efficient when it comes to stuff. I've also met several of their employees and they've all been extremely nice, professional, good people. Lenny's Plumbing has been amazing.

Every plumber I've ever had come out before, I have had to argue with. I had a leak in the wax ring. I used all my towels and the rugs on the floor to sop up the water and it was after three days because I didn’t use it. When the guy came, he flushed it and it didn’t leak because it had time to settle in. He said that there was nothing wrong there and he would be gone. I blocked him from leaving the bathroom and said that the wax ring flooded my bathroom and he wouldn't do anything. He stood there and he flushed my toilet 12 times in a row. He said it was not leaking a drop and he just went right past me. I was mad.
This time, my toilet clogged up twice. I plunged the daylights out of it as much as my back could tolerate. I even called my son over twice. He freed it up, but then it would clog again. My middle son freed it up once, and it clogged again, and it was Friday night right before Christmas. I was having 20 people in my house on Sunday. I had my friend, who's also my house cleaner, clean my back bathroom. Then in the middle of the night before Sunday, I, without thinking, went straight into the main bathroom and went potty. As soon as I started going, I realized that I shouldn’t have done it. I turned on the light, grabbed the plunger, flushed it, and started plunging away. It flushed a little better than it had been, still not quite right. I flushed it again and it went straight through. I made it through Sunday and most of Monday.
I called J & L Plumbing and their guy came out on Tuesday. Of course, the toilet was working fine when he was here, but then I told him what happened. When he flushed the toilet, it worked. I just looked and told him not to make me get mad at him like I did with the plumber that wouldn’t believe me that my wax ring was leaking. He said that even though he didn’t touch it in a way to fix it, he flushed it, so that meant that I'd have a 30-day warranty. If it clogs up again, I call them and they’ll be back out. Everything else was draining fine so he was determined that the problem was the toilet itself and so he would put it in for a replacement.
When I had my washing machine replaced, it was three and a half weeks before I got a phone call from American Home Shield. This was six years ago. So, when they said the toilet was going to be replaced, I was happy on one hand, and on the other hand, I thought this would take forever. Three days later, they called me and they said that they had the approval to get to a new toilet, they scheduled me the next day, and the guy would be out to fix it.
The only problem I have is that it’s not the regular height toilet, it’s not the handicapped toilet, it’s the in-between. I had had recent knee surgery so I was having problems getting up off the regular toilet that we had. I told J & L about it and they have been really good about keeping me informed every step of the way on what's going on. They're having trouble locating the height of toilets that I need, but they are bound to return to find me what I need. I've been really happy. I have had AHS for 30 years and I have stuck with them. The cost has gone up, which is a bummer, and so have the service calls. But that happens with everything. I have not had a bad experience with them.

The rep wanted to take a book out and recite it to me instead of listening to my problem as a 20-year consumer of AHS. The language barrier made things very frustrating for me because I don't feel like I could explain my problem.
They assigned the contractor, A&P, and the rep, Patty, called me back right away. A&P had somebody out within a couple of hours, which was impressive. The gentleman who came out was nice and I appreciated him. But the fact that AHS would not relinquish and let us replace a 27-year old dishwasher with us paying part of the cost does not make us very happy. Consumers should be given the opportunity to replace an old appliance when they offer paying the gap of putting a new one in, as we did on the stove a year ago. Then, the dishwasher caused the hot water heater to blow its release valve and caused leaking throughout the home. Crown was the assigned contractor but they never answered their phone. We had to call Sears to come out. But other than those, I'm usually super pleased with my experience.

On my most recent claim to American Home Shield, I was pretty disappointed with them. They had someone come out to fix both of my humidifiers in my bathroom, and he had brought a humidifier with him and he said it didn't work. When I got a call from American Home Shield, they said that I would need something on my roof, which was for the vent. The guy didn't even look at the roof. He wasn't even here 10 minutes and they were saying, “Oh, it's gonna be 700 and some dollars, 300 and some dollars a bathroom.” It was two bathrooms. If American Home Shield is covering the humidifiers, they need to do what they need to do to fix them. I talked to them so many times, so I'm not gonna pay $700 out of pocket. I asked if I could get a second opinion, and they told me I could but I would have to pay for it if they came out with the same problem.
Thank God, it was easy just trading one out and putting another one in. The second man they sent out here looked at it and said, “No problem.” He went out there and he put both of it in. Everything is operating pretty good now. Overall, every time I call AHS, it's always something else that's not covered with the insurance. When I signed up with American Home Shield, I was told I had to pay 47 something a month, and I don't have to pay the deductible. But I pay a deductible, and that’s $100. When you sign up, they should give you the information of what's covered and what's not covered. I'm going to get rid of them. I have so much bad luck with them, and I pay them on time.

One time, I was thinking about not having AHS anymore because when they would send people out, the people would sometimes do what they’re supposed to do, and then sometimes they wouldn't, so I was despondent. I just didn't give up. The last time, my washer wasn't working properly and they sent someone out. The person just looked at it, ran it through the cycle and said that it was working fine. Well, it wasn't as I just used it. Then it went on and worked. When they called and said the job was completed, and I said that it was still not working, they sent the person back. That time, the person actually looked and took it apart, and found out that a part was broken on it. They ordered the part and when the part came to be put on, they couldn’t get it on. So then, they replaced the washer, which I was very much appreciative of.
At certain times, I was like, “Maybe I shouldn't do it,” because I was kind of disappointed. I had some plumbing problems. My kitchen sink was going down slowly, and I wouldn't call them, so I ended up paying $300 out of my own pocket to get that done because I didn't want to do it. When I called back to that particular company that looked at my kitchen sink, they said to use or call American Home Shield as I have it, so I did. This particular time, they sent someone out who was very responsible, took his time, looked at the situation, and was able to get the problem solved. It's just that sometimes when you’re trying to get through and it’s because of the pandemic, you’re just on hold.

At the beginning of the year, the claims process was shaky. I have a faucet that I'm supposed to pull on in order to extend it to rinse out my sink. And that tube that extends leaked inside. However, American Home Shield didn't want to replace it. When I called to find out, all I got was a script of whatever it was. And I just said, "Forget it" and went on. I still have the leak in the thing. But I don't understand the reason why AHS denied that claim. The recent issue was several things. My garbage disposal went out, the water was backing out when my washing machine was rinsing, and there was stoppage in my shower so the water rose. The first company American Home Shield sent out didn't do anything. But the second company they sent out repaired everything. They were good. So, I was satisfied with it.

I went with American Home Shield because my two daughters have it and when the repair people are here, they're good. I still have a claim out, though, for my refrigerator. We fixed one part then the other part broke at the same time. The repair man said, "Give it 24 hours for the ice to start making again." It made one bucket full. And then I dumped that out 'cause it looked not quite right because it was a new filter. The ice maker didn't work after that. We've had some really drastic cold weather, and the repair man hasn't been back to be able to finish up that part. Since it's cold, I can deal with it, but I still put ice in everything year-round.

We just started with American Home Shield and we did have to make a service call regarding a water heater, and I was not too thrilled. It took four weeks to get a water heater. Luckily, the home that the water heater was needed at was a second property that we own. The ones living there are military and luckily, they were able to go to base to take showers because that's where they work. So, that was how it was done for four weeks, which really sucks. There was no communication the first two and a half weeks. It felt like every time I called, they read off a script.
The water heater was finally installed yesterday and I think the only reason it was installed was because I've been on the phone with American Home Shield, the contractor, and whoever was supposed to be supplying the water heater in order to get it done. The contractor kept saying, "We haven't received anything from American Home Shield." American Home Shield's people were telling me, "Yes, we did send it over." I said, "No, you haven't. They would have received it." And the guy was like, "We want to get paid also. I'm not telling you that we haven't received it." So, it ended up being a three-way call.

Apparently, American Home Shield is struggling to find a contractor in their system that works on our kind of heating system. I offered up an association for all the contractors that do that kind of work and they have a website with a list, but I haven't heard anything.

A faucet leaking from underneath the fixture itself broke and American Home Shield sent out Whitney Holdings. But they said they need $160 for modifications before they'll come schedule the appointment to come out and the plumber wouldn’t discuss the work. They told me it will take at least six to eight weeks to get a replacement faucet. I asked what modifications they would be doing and they said the ones needed to make it able to make sure the insurance is still in place. I asked them what they would be doing and replacing but they never told me. So, I asked to be reassigned. Finally, a few days ago, AHS said they'll make a settlement with me for $80. I can't get a plumber for that but I’ll at least get a plumber that I trust in the house that will tell me what work he's gonna do before he does it.
I put in the request on December 23 and we’ve been without a kitchen for over a month. I'm still in the middle of it. I'm waiting for the plumber that I've used before. He might even be the one that originally installed it 20 years ago. He's trying to schedule me and I haven't talked to him. I had 10 days to decide as of last Monday what I'm doing as far as to withdraw the offer of $80 from AHS. It’s the worst experience. Nobody will give me an answer to anything and they use words in defining the words.
We had one other claim before and everything went well with the washing machine. This is a faucet and they're saying that the budget for it is $40. It's a $300 faucet and they said that I could get that one if I want but it's gonna be six to eight weeks to get it. I obtained a brand-new one in the box on my own. When I first talked to them, they had three of them at the Lowe's on my corner. Right after I talked to them, there was no more at Lowe’s. Those were gone. AHS is always telling me I’m being very argumentative. All I ask is for definitions of words and when I asked, they said they’ll replace it with builder’s standard grade. I don't understand. What that means is they’ll put in with the quality that a builder would use. I asked what my allowance was and I never got answers. So, I'm very discouraged and disgusted.

They said no and that they'd get back in touch with me. Two hours ago, the contractor called me and told me they will be at my house tomorrow between 10:00 and 2:00.
If you read their reviews, they are exactly what my experience has been so far. They're not responsive. I asked the rep what was gonna happen and told her what the problem was. I've known pretty much about how to fix things. It's a hot water heater that’s not heating. The elements burned out and I just need some elements put in there. She said, “We may not have the elements on the truck when we come there, so you’ll have to wait 7 to 10 days to get this fixed.” I told her having no hot water in the house for 7 to 10 days is a pretty big inconvenience. She said, “Okay. Make sure you're there. If you don't answer the phone, then we’re gonna cancel the appointment.”
In the past, I've had to request American Home Shield to let me find my own person then reimburse me. The contractors that American Home Shield attracts may not be people who are the really respected people in the community. They sometimes feel as if they're gonna do just enough to get by without addressing the problem. They'll tell you right out when they come to fix something in your house that they're gonna just try to get the thing running so they can get out of the house. American Home Shield has to make sure that the person who’s going to come to your house is qualified, does a good job and is friendly, and can get the job done.
I recommended one of my friends who lives in New Jersey, and they got American Home Shield. He saw me today out of the clear blue and told me it took them a month to get a hot water heater. People gets put on the back burner a little bit ‘cause there are other jobs that contractors are doing that are better than American Home Shield. American Home Shield works the best when something has to be replaced ‘cause it's broken. If you have a GE Appliance, then GE comes. But when you need maintenance on something, that's where the glitch is. Every time I've had an experience with a heating and air conditioning system or with something that has to be repaired, that's where the workmanship might be a little bit less than desirable.

The last time, it was a very good experience. The vendor had to come out three times because we didn't know it was a thermostat issue. But it left a very bad taste in my mouth for American Home Shield. And it wasn't so much the people. Sometimes, I get a representative that is very hard to understand, so it's very difficult to work through the process, know what I need to do and what my policy is all about.
I also had a problem with a leak underneath the kitchen sink and with the vendor associated with that. The sink still leaked even when they said they would not come out again. There was even a part that dropped out from underneath the sink. And I was told by AHS that I would have to have a new person come out and it would cost me $75 to do that. The workman just said he would be back out. So, I kept trying to get this taken care of. And the vendor decided that they would not out anymore because it was a slow leak, it was hard to identify. And I guess the vendor company at the office felt that there was enough time spent. But I was still, “Yeah. But I still saw a leak. You told me you're going to replace something but you never did.” Now I have to pay another $75 for the same problem with another company.
The cost is a bit steep. And every time I get an advertisement in the mail, I always compare it. I just started doing that the last year. I know prices are going up everywhere. But it seems that the prices started to go up even the last year and a half. That was when I started checking into DTE services and other services. And if something was to come up that was comparable, I probably would cancel my service.

I called AHS as I had a couple of different things going on with the plumbing. A faucet drain spout wasn't working right. The plumber made the adjustments and fixed that. Then my wife said that there was another clogging issue on the two full baths that were underneath each other that both use the same service lines and drain lines. He said he didn't have a service order for that. Well, I said very clearly I was having a drainage problem that was somewhere in the line and affecting both toilets. He just looked at it and said that he wasn't seeing an issue at that time. He also made some adjustments on the toilet to get it to flush. Right now, it's like an off-and-on issue.
With the way this thing was written up or done, AHS didn't understand something I said as far as what the clog is. Maybe they confused the drain plug thing, which the plumber had a service order for. I would have preferred that the plumber may have some type of device that can go down in there, even if it's a snake, and see if there's a blockage because it could be working now and then a month from now, I'm back to where I was before.

Recently, I had some blockage in some of the lines. The plumber told me what was wrong, got it fixed, and showed me that it was fixed. Said "Thank you," and that was it. Having the warranty is a peace of mind.

American Home Shield does what is written that they're gonna do. I had an issue with a running tub faucet and Anywhere Plumbing fixed it pretty quickly. If you want a company that exceeds your expectation, you may want to go with American Home Shield. They do a roof repair, which most companies don't, and they take care of the house from the outside in.

We've had to call people out three times now for the fans and American Home Shield keeps on sending the same company who keeps on saying that there's nothing wrong with it. But yet the low and medium fan speed is exactly the same. The tech is saying there's a slight difference and I'm saying there shouldn’t be a slight difference, there should be a notable difference. There’s no sense in me calling back again about it if nobody else is gonna come out except for that one guy. He said it was not worth even bothering with. I told him, “You’re not the one that has to sleep on the bed at night and needing more air without having a tornado on the high-speed.” I just need to have a good fan that’s going to work.

It was something on my fan and he just fixed it in and it has been working ever since. So, it was excellent. Nowadays, it's hard to get somebody to come do some work. But American Home Shield contacted and got the issue resolved the same day I contacted them. They were right on it. So, they're very efficient.

American Home Shield has done a good job for us, but I had a major issue on a dishwasher with them. When we try to run the dishwasher, water would run out in the floor. I called them the 4th day of June. They sent somebody out to look at it and the guy made the statement he could not fix it. However, I kept going back and forth and calling American Home Shield. I had six pages of notes. They finally decided they were gonna send somebody out for another opinion and the next guy looked at it and said, “It can’t be fixed.” He sent a thing in then the warranty company said, “Okay, we will replace it." But it took me from June to the 5th day of December to get that done. That was a major issue, and I didn’t like that. But normally, I don’t have any issues with American Home Shield.
On another claim, a guy came out for my pool and put two actuators on. The next thing, we left for the holiday. We came back a week later in the spa, and everything was drained. He came back out and said something needed to be adjusted. He adjusted it and said, “It should be good.” He’s trying as hard as he can to make everything situated.

American Home Shield usually upholds their end of the bargain and fix what they come out to fix. We had our pool looked at because it was leaking. We had two toilets that the O-ring was leaking. We need to call back because one of them runs at certain times when no one's using it. The overall process with AHS is great.

The overall claim process can take a while. It depends on the availability of the people that they send us to. Also, we've had to replace two HVAC units ourselves because they just try to patch it up every single time and it kept breaking. Maybe there can be some sort of service where if we want something replaced, there could be some sort of deductible to pay and they could cover the rest. Other than that, it's great for big ticket stuff.

The major things that are critical for us are the attention to the service and the timeliness of the service providers. We recently had our dishwasher broken. The contractor sent a technician. He repaired it well and fast. And he was knowledgeable. But I'm not very satisfied with American Home Shield, because they usually send technicians who come very late or who are not very knowledgeable or prepared for the job to be done, or don't have any qualification for that. For example, we had a sewer pipe leak from the toilet. And they just changed the flange of it, not the pipe. But the thing is the pipe is cracked. The technician saw that fact but didn't pay attention to that. He called AHS, who told us this particular service is not included in our plan, which is ridiculous because the pipe is cracked and it causes the leak. And he just changed the flange, which is a temporary solution.

I wish that I could give minus stars! This company is a complete joke! First, the customer service is HORRIBLE. No one understands English enough to even care what your issue is. Second, they stick to a script for customer service answers instead of actually answering your questions and offering assistance. Third and most importantly, this company will not take responsibility for damage caused by their contractors even if they cause damage to what they are supposed to be repairing!
Dealing with this company has been a total and complete nightmare. And because of damage that their contractor caused (btw....it was a contractor that my husband asked them three times not to send back to our home because of their lack of time management and ability), we have to stay in a hotel because our home has no water! Do not buy a policy with this company because if you need a repair that is not an appliance, they will look for a loophole to not cover it and they don't take responsibility for the lack of ability of their contractors.
Day 3 of Shenanigans. I contacted American Home Shield today and their customer service representatives are such liars. They now saying that their contractors said that normal wear and tear didn't cause the pipe to break. My question to them is, if it wasn't why did you send you contractors back to our home? Below is the bill that my husband and I had to pay so the work can begin in both our bathrooms. After living in a hotel for a week and paying their contractor to get our home back in order, this company still refuses to do the right thing.

The plumbing company AHS uses is Universal Plumbing and they are very unreliable. One time, they replaced a toilet for us and the guy didn't fit it properly to the floor so it leaked. It never worked properly. Also, they don't cover their shoes with shoe covers when they come. They're so inefficient in what they do. Then, when we needed a replacement for a hot water dispenser on our sink, it took about three months for them to finally get it and wouldn't call and let us know that it was backordered. Other than the plumbing, most of AHS's services are really good.
Comfort Heating and AC came out for the furnace and they're terrific. They were super friendly and we joked around with them. The battery in the thermostat was worn out so we replaced the battery and everything was fine. They also did a little inspection of our unit to make sure everything else was okay. I was very glad at that. We've always had good service from AHS and they're a terrific thing to have. It's a little more expensive than it used to be, but they've always responded very quickly. We had an exceptionally bad problem because of their contractor and they took care of it afterward and even reimbursed us all the money that we had spent to replace the item that we had to. Also, we've had our water heater replaced twice in the 20 years that we've been here and I had no idea that water heaters were so expensive. We might have spent over the 20 years more money in premiums than what we got back.

I had an issue with the transformer in my unit and American Home Shield sent somebody right away. He put a new thermostat in. On the electrical side, I need to do another claim. When I initially first did one, the people that came out said they had done some work, and they didn’t do it. They just submitted an invoice to American Home Shield and got paid so that left me with still having electrical issues. They ended up sending me a check for $100 for the service fee for the electrical part, but I still needed the service done. The company that American Home Shield used for the electrical is not a good one. I even went as far as calling the people and putting them on three-way with American Home Shield and let them hear that they had been out and saw what needed to be done, but they hadn’t repaired it, and they still went against me.
I'm able to get some of the stuff done and I ain’t got to worry about out of pocket expenses with this home warranty. Doing it on my own would have cost me a whole lot more than the tech coming and paying what I paid. I paid $250 extra to upgrade the package, so I could get the services that I needed. It took me a while to get that done. Overall, I refer the company to a lot of people in my area.

I've had American Home Shield for a few years now, and I have not been disappointed with the timeliness in them dispatching my call out to whatever service is needed. I've had someone out to repair a refrigerator. I've also had someone out to look at a leak in the bathroom. The AC didn't work one time.

Recently, I had some outlets that weren’t working in the living room and the dining room area. I called American Home Shield and Morongo Basin was here very quick. There was some confusion afterwards though. A couple of days after the repair was made, I received a couple of emails and a phone call from American Home Shield, asking me about other services. I was very confused what the lady was saying. She was saying that when Morongo Basin sent them the diagnosis and what they had done, they told American Home Shield that they recommended something else to be done. But whatever they recommended to be done was not covered under my warranty plan. American Home Shield wanted to contact me to have Morongo Basin break the invoice up so that only the item that was supposed to be covered was covered.
I told them Morongo Basin didn't tell me that something else needed to be done. They asked me if anything was done other than fixing the issue with the breaker. I told them the tech said that a screw was loose, and that was what caused it to kind of overheat. He said he tightened up the screw, and everything was fine. They didn't recommend anything else. After I told American Home Shield that, they said I could disregard the call.

We have been trying to get this all-in-one washer/dryer unit repaired for two years. And we've had several cases where the engineer would come to the house, make the diagnosis, either close the ticket, stating that they couldn't work on it. At one point in time, we went almost five months before I called them back and I said, “We haven't heard from anybody.” And they said, “Well, they closed the ticket.” We've had several of these companies come back and state that they repaired it, but we never heard from them. And several just dropped off the map. What American Home Shield eventually did was to send someone over to look at it, and the same error message. They stated that we were at fault, and that it wasn't covered. According to AHS, they're done with this now. And this is after two years. Luckily for me, in this house, I have one in the basement where that unit is at, and another one upstairs.
The other claims have gone well. I had a separate dryer unit go up. And AHS bought me out of the unit. They did that whole process, and I was able to go and buy one and get it installed. We also replaced a dishwasher where the pump started leaking. I replaced the stove too. We've only owned the house for a little over four years, not realizing that on the gas unit, the eyes themselves, the screws were rusted. So when we had an eye act up, the contractor couldn't repair it because they couldn't get the screws out. So, we got a new unit. But this is the one that has been sitting the longest.
AHS needs to admit that two years is excessive. And at that point in time, they should have just come in and said, “Listen, let's replace this unit,” or “We'll buy you out for whatever the value of this thing is. And then you guys figure out what the difference is. And then let's just move on.” But I was upset that they decided to go that direction of coming back and now saying that this was our fault. It's not covered under the warranty and be gone. If they did that day one, this would have been a different story.

The electrical job would have been $300 and the plumbing job would have been $400. There was another plumbing job that would have been about $200. So we're talking about a grand. But I paid $100 each. So it was $300 plus my $40 for the month. That was definitely a better deal. But they didn't finish. They don't texture and paint. So now I have to do it.
When I purchased the home in 2017, I had got American Home Shield. Within 2017, I had them come out and try to fix a leak, and they said there was nothing wrong with it. I told them it was still dripping. But they said, “Well, it's not bad.” And they didn't do it. It wasn't covered. I was so upset. The second thing that happened in 2018 was my refrigerator froze over everything. So there was ice everywhere. The tech came in here and the little display was not readable. He said the computer was messed up. But he also said, “But I only have to fix the thermostat.” I told him that he needed to fix what the problem was.
My refrigerator and freezer do not keep consistent because the issue wasn't the thermostat. It was the computer and the display. The tech kept saying, “Well, you just got to figure out where you're at.” I told him, "No," and I argued with American Home Shield. They said they were gonna come back in and fix the computer, but they didn't. So I quit American Home Shield. They should have replaced my refrigerator and the leak. But I got them back because I needed some extra insurance and I couldn't find anybody else that would cover it.
When I got American Home Shield back, I had called them about the leak and the refrigerator. The operator was apologizing. She said they never should have let that leak go because then it caused an electrical problem. You’re talking about my house would have burnt down ‘cause they were trying to save a couple of bucks. I could have been eating bad food because they were trying to save a couple of bucks, and that was wrong. By paying insurance, I expect insurance to be honored. But the people I dealt with were professional this time. The operators at American Home Shield were very nice and helpful. They were trying to find a solution, but they knew that there was a problem with the scheduling.

A contractor came out because my Whirlpool tub is not working. They did a survey of the work that need to be done and concluded that Home Shield does not pay for what I needed to be done because they got to cut through the marble wall to get to the motor of the Whirlpool. Nothing was done but I have no problem with the experience other than the fact that I still have the same problem. I would like to see someone from Home Shield contact me to satisfy my issue.

We have a washer and dryer. The power went off so we were thinking the machine was not working but the associate came and he found there was a power issue on that and he fixed it pretty good. However, when there was water dropping from the vent fan in the washer room, I called them and asked them for help on that. They didn't even take care of most of the information, they just sent one electrician. After that, he said he was not the one. Then again, I called AHS. They sent one HVAC guy.
He came and he didn't do anything. Just he told by looking at it, “It's not me. It should be a roof guy.” The problem I see is that when I explain the issue, they have to actually understand and route to the proper persons, not like whatever they feel they will send it over, which is a waste of my time, their time, everybody's time. But I will definitely recommend American Home Shield to anybody because they're pretty fast in response. Also, they’re getting the follow-up as well. But the thing which I felt is lacking is experience in terms of understanding the problem.
