When I called, AHS gave me someone out of Bryan the first time, and he came by. He told me that that other part was probably going to go out, and it did two months and 10 days later, which made me call and get another $100 visit. When I called the second time, that company couldn't come until a week later so they found Suncoast, which came out on Thursday. I was just a little frustrated because the microwave wasn't fixed the first time. If the guy knew the part was going to go out, he should have went ahead and fixed it. He told me that the keypad is usually what goes out, which he didn't replace. He got it working the first time.
What was wrong with the first time was that the microwave was blinking and showing that it did something when I wasn't aware of it. I didn't think that was good. Two months later, it just told me that the keypad shorted, which was diagnosed before and didn't fix. I could have my son pull the microwave out and replace it with a new one for 200. The claim was addressed fine. It's just that it's 10 days before getting any work done after they diagnose. I wound up three weeks without a microwave. But that wasn't Suncoast's fault. On that one appliance, when you figure out that you're paying almost 600 for the service, and then you're waiting three weeks to get a microwave fixed and 200 bucks to call, I can't afford it, that's why I'm not gonna renew. Also, they charge so much when all they're doing is a referral.

The first claim I did went pretty good. I called American Home Shield and they set it up. I received an appointment from Allcity. The tech came out on time and was very professional. He did something and told me what was wrong and then he had to order a part. But I had to call to follow-up because I noticed that it was going into the third week and I didn't hear anything from the time the tech left and he gave his summary on what was wrong with my washer. Then I found out that the part had already come in that previous week and no one reached out to reschedule an appointment.
On the second go-around, I called Home Shield. They sent the inquiry to Allcity again and I didn't hear anything about an appointment. So, I followed up and called and left a message. I didn’t hear anything in a couple of days so I called again. Then the rep said that they got my message. It was a little weird 'cause they got my message and they never called me back. But the one good thing that I could say was that the technician knew what he was talking about and he fixed the washing machine. That was why I requested him again. But as far as coordinating and responding, that needs a little bit of work. So American Home Shield was not the issue. I'm satisfied with them. They sent the request out to Allcity and then it was in Allcity's hand to get back to me and set up the schedule.

AHS is like a nice safety net especially when you're retired and on a fixed income. There is an assurance that you can get things fixed when you need them. I do my claims over my phone. I try to stay away from the online stuff. I'm older and so sick of everything going through online. You change your password every week. I'm frustrated with it so I would much rather talk to somebody.
The garage door company was great. They came right out and showed me what needed to be done. They fixed the issue but it was not covered under the policy. I was frustrated with that. I've had a couple things happen recently and AHS has been really good but my complaint is when I talked to the original scheduler, I told her the motor was working. The door wouldn't lift up or down. She should have told me that that wasn't going to be covered. She was polite and helpful but she needs to be clear with what she's reading in front of her. I like transparency and I think that she was looking right at it. I paid the $100 for them to do that. I have two other garage door people I've used before and it would have been so much cheaper. I still recommended this service to my friends but I'm going to be more careful with the person I talk to to make sure that they understand what the problem is.

When the call came in, and I called the company and said, "Hey, what's going on? Are you coming out?" The rep said he was trying to find out what the problem was. When I explained to him what the problem was and what kind of microwave it was, one of them said, "This is a two-man job. It's only one man. We don't have another person.” They had to cancel. I called another company up and told them what it was. They had to reassign the call to another company, which came a couple of days later. That gentleman came in and had the tools that could take the microwave down himself. And then he did the job. He replaced some parts and then that was it.
The last one that came out was fine. He came for my fridge. That guy was more human. He was good because we talked about the issue. Even though he could not duplicate the problem, but I could tell, "Okay, he understood what was going on. He has seen this before. This is more like my personal tech I called out." But the previous ones never had time to come to me. They are not there when I expect them to. Usually, AHS assigns me a company. I call the company myself. I don't wait because they would call me within 48 hours. I called the company and I found out they don't work on the weekends. Why would AHS assign someone for my fridge, I have medication in there, but they don’t work on a weekend? It was Saturday. I had to wait for him to come in Monday. That didn't make sense to me.
There are certain things like a fridge which is not something you should say it's not a priority. I have to have medication in there. For example, I just bought a bunch of meat I put in the fridge, and the fridge took a hike. There is smoking, even though it was burning, It could be a surge. I couldn't plug it in again because what if it could catch fire. I called AHS and then told them that, but they told me it's not an emergency. What is considered an emergency? You just spent money on food. AHS will not reimburse my money, but tell me it’s not an emergency. That is something I couldn't understand.
I was gonna cancel my service because at the end of the day, I can call somebody tomorrow from here and it's gonna cost me the same amount of money I spent a year with AHS to repair the fridge. They are there when I call them, but the technician, I have to wait three days. I've never had service in the same day. But if I was paying my money directly, I will have service on the spot.
Are you still in need of assistance?

AHS is a great company. They resolve things quickly by getting out knowledgeable technicians and backing what they have in the warranty. Recently, a gentlemen came in, knew what the problem was and resolved the issue in probably less than an hour. He was very professional, knowledgeable about the issue and took safety precautions.

The thermostat was broken and when I called the claim in, the rep at American Home Shield said that I would get a call from the person who was going to come out to fix the problem. The guy called the very next day and I scheduled an appointment that was convenient for me. That was when he came and he was there on time. He put a new thermostat in within minutes and was gone. He did a great job. He was very nice, proficient, explained everything and answered all my questions. It was wintertime, getting close to changing now but my furnace wasn't kicking in because the thing wasn't working. So, it was very helpful and I was very satisfied. Everything has been working perfectly since then.

I needed an AC repair. The techs came in, handled the business, and corrected what was broken. They fixed it quickly and they were nice. They were also respectful and professional. I've got another claim right now for a microwave and AHS had somebody come out for that two weeks ago. They're ordering parts and no one has called me so far. I could have gone ahead and bought another microwave if it was going to take this long and if I had known that. Another thing is, AHS would tell you one thing and you would think you'd be covered for something. When my water heater went out, they had someone come out and replace it. But I ended up paying 500 and some dollars for a water heater that could have been $100. So, that killed it for me right there. Everything after that, there always seemed to be a problem.
We do appreciate you sharing your feedback and providing your experience thus far. We do apologize for the delay in the repairs and would be more than happy to assist with a resolution. My name is Robert and I will be assisting you further.

I have an ongoing claim that's been going on for at least a week now. When I submitted it to AHS, I didn't get an immediate response and they waited almost a week before they could get out. But the techs came and checked the problem. They were very nice and informative. I had to get some other stuff done to dry out where there was water penetration and today, they're supposed to come out and install the water heater with an additional $860 worth of stuff.
Other than that, one of the people that I talked with in American Home Shield's office was not that pleasant. One of the crew that came out recommended another company that they deal with to do the drying out and they said they would be back after that was done. Then, I got a call from Immediate Response a little later and they asked when I wanted to set up the appointment. I told them it had to wait and the company had not come to check out the moisture problem had been taken care of.
I also told the rep that if they called the company that did the other stuff, they would tell them when that would be ready and Immediate Response could start. And this person was kind of snippy. He said that he had to call that company, then I had to go back to Immediate Response, et cetera. So, it seemed like I was being put out here. It was not a big deal, but it would have been easy for them to just communicate with the company they recommended to me and find out when they could do the installation. In the end, I called and found out from the other company, then I told Immediate Response and they're coming out today. So, all's well that ends well.

There was leakage underneath the sink and there was some part of the faucet handle that was causing it to drain inward.

All in all, when I've submitted claims with AHS, my experience seems to go well and the companies that they work with are good.

Through all these years I've had American Home Shield, I've never really had a problem until my washing machine broke last year. They couldn't find a part for it. They said the part wasn't being made anymore. Finally, they found the part and that took them three months. It was a big thing. Other than that, American Home Shield usually takes care of stuff right away. We have a claim where the water tank had rusted on the top and it was leaking water from the top. We need a new water heater. A plumber will be coming back out tomorrow. He will be picking up a new water heater, bringing it, and putting it in.

We submitted a claim for our water heater. It froze and cracked. Our experience with AHS didn't go well this time. First of all, a language barrier is a problem with the customer care advocates on that side of American Home Shield. The second thing is, most of the customer care people are not trained to resolve a problem. They just continually repeat the policy and the procedure. I ended up speaking with somebody in the cancellation department three times because I wasn't getting anywhere with those people. I said, "Forget it. Let's cancel." Even though I've had an account for 13 years.
Those people were trying to get me to stay so, they resolved the issue. I don't have any problem with the way that the issue was ultimately resolved. American Home Shield isn't going to cover it, which is fine. But the problem was that the original technician that they sent out to assist me, overcharged. When I realized that he was going to overcharge me, I called back to tell American Home Shield.
I don't know if there's a language barrier or if they're just trained to say this. But they kept reminding me what they cover and what they don't. I told them that I didn't mind paying for whatever isn't covered, but the man was price gouging. The reason I know he was price gouging is because he gave me one quote from the American Home Shield, prospected what I would have to pay out of pocket. Then, when I said, "Hey, this is a lot. I think I'm gonna need my insurance to help me. Can I have a quote without the American Home Shield?" It was way less.
Then, American Home Shield wouldn't tell me how much they were paying him so I could really have a full picture. I've reported him now with American Plumber Association. But nobody at American Home Shield seems to have the intellect to be able to understand that I pay them a little bit over $1,000 a year. They pay him but I'm trying to protect us both. But they want to believe everything that he said. "He said that's what you need." The approval department said that that was appropriate. It's not. He, himself, gave me an entirely different quote that was way less than what he was charging me when American Home Shield was going to pay for it. But nobody seems to understand that.

Our water heater started leaking and it needed to be replaced. American Home Shield replaced it but it cost me money. It was an older water heater so the warranty didn't cover the whole price of a brand new one. Every time I needed some repairs made, there was no problem with American Home Shield getting the proper contractors to come out and do the work. Everybody that they have sent out has been super, very upfront, courteous, and professional.

It's easy to submit claims but I've had five or six times for a contractor to come fix my heater. It kept breaking down They made it sound like it was hard to get American Home Shield to pay for a new furnace. I'm told from American Home Shield that whatever the contractor recommends is what they go by. But if they see the same issue being called in to get repaired, there should be a limit to how many times they repair something versus replacing it. It cost me close to $700 for the $75 I paid each time.

For the most part, it's a good experience with American Home Shield. We've been customers for about 20 years now with two different homes. The process was very simple and very self-explanatory. Whenever I make a claim, I go to their website. It's very easy to navigate. It would be nice to have a comment spot where we can give details to American Home Shield that can be passed on to the service provider. I live out in the middle of nowhere and we always have to have a service call where someone comes out to look at the problem. There are some times that I could actually explain the problem so they would be able to come out with possible parts to replace things to save them a trip and save me time without heat or without a washing machine or without whatever.
Recently, the technician that came for our claim was very professional and on time. He texted me or called me when he was on his way to allow me to not have to take off of work because I work in town. I was able to get home, let him do what he needed to do, and go back to work without wasting a day off and I appreciated that.

Although we've had a great techs so far, one of the things that was frustrating was one time, a guy came to our house and he brought a plumber to come over. He said, “Well, your PSI and your water pressure is too high.” I get what they're saying, but I don't control that. I bought the house this way. The guy couldn't touch anything per the whatever, but he said, “Oh, but for $1,000, we can fix that.” Of course, he can, for $1,000.
We've only used American Home Shield a couple of times. We got it as a first-year home warranty when we bought our house and we're probably gonna buy it again. With things like the water pressure though, there should be leniency depending on what they're doing. If they're saying the water pressure is that high, then they need to cover putting in a regulator to that extent. It's like a car warranty. When you have a car warranty and it’s bumper to bumper, they don’t go, “Oh, we don't cover headlights.” Bumper-to-bumper, right?

We submitted a claim online for a light fixture outlet that wasn't working. It would turn on but it wouldn't stay on, or sometimes, it wouldn't turn on at all and then it would turn on by itself after the fact. I got a phone call to schedule an appointment with the assigned company. I also got some text messages alerting me that they were coming. The tech did an evaluation and he said he couldn't do anything until they approved it. AHS's website can be a little bit more specific in the options that I could select. I selected “Other” instead of anything more specific ‘cause it didn't offer me the option to select that the outlet was coming in and out. It was just like, “switch outlet.”

My water heater was making a bad noise and I called American Home Shield to put in the claim. I went through the recording and the only thing I didn't like about it was that before you could even talk to them about what was going on, they wanted your money first. But they said that the contractor would get in contact with me probably the next day, which they did. They came out, looked at the water heater and said that the settings on the heater were set way too high. They thought that maybe it was what was causing the noise. So, they turned them down. It did not work so I called back AHS for a recall. They contacted the manufacturer of the water heater because apparently, it's still under warranty because it's only a couple of years old. The manufacturer said that they need to replace the thermostat and heating element but they were to order them. They won't be in until sometime this week.
The tech’s service was great and he was prompt in calling me. He got here when he said he would be here. He told me when he did this that this does not do the job, then I don’t need to call AHS for a recall. They came to get back in touch and then, he would come back and get with the manufacturer. So, he was very knowledgeable and I was comfortable with him.
The only thing that AHS does that I don't see eye-to-eye with is they will not replace anything unless they absolutely have to. When we first bought the house and moved in, the dishwasher wasn't working right. The technician had to change the door latch on and to do that, he had to change the whole circuit board which cost twice as much as taking this old piece of junk out and putting in a new dishwasher. But AHS wouldn't do it. Even the guy told me that they wouldn't do it. No matter how old it is and how much it costs to repair it, if it's possible, AHS wants to repair it. It would be better if they would weigh into the factor that the machine is X number of years old and to repair it is gonna cost just as much or more than it will be for them to put a new dishwasher in. They should give the customer a new dishwasher and move on.

When I bought the house, I wasn't sure how old the furnace was. The previous owners hadn't told me and I know that the house was 25 years old. So, maybe the furnace should be looked at. I made my request online to American Home Shield as I was instructed. They referred someone to me immediately and I had someone come out. The repair guy gave it the once-over to make sure it was okay. He said it was only about 10 years previous to me buying the house that the furnace was replaced. So, that was good to know. But the thermostat, which was 25 years old, was not replaced and I didn't realize that. It wasn't working. So the furnace was running but it wasn't shutting off. I gave another request and the guy came out and replaced the thermostat. It was covered under the warranty and that was great.

During a real freeze, my furnace decided to quit, and it was the second time in the last month or two. I called my furnace man and he came out, wiggled some wires, tightened things up, and it came back on. It worked for about two weeks and it went off again. I called him back out and he said that the problem was an electric switch box, and I needed an electrician to come out. I went back to American Home Shield and they sent Georgia Boy out. They couldn't find anything particularly wrong with it. I thought we were going to have to replace this switch box. They tinkered with it and checked it, so it's never gone funky since. American Home Shield also replaced our hot water heater that had gone bad and wore out a couple of years ago. I'm happy with them so far. I have no complaints against them as long as they give me good coverage.

AHS does a good job. My wife usually calls in the service requests to them then they're recorded on a website. We track the progress through the website and they send us texts regarding the status of the service request. Recently, the water dispenser would leak after it dispensed water and the ice maker wasn't working properly. It was only giving crushed ice but not complete ice cubes. I liked the contractor that came. They were very knowledgeable and did an excellent job with the repair. They taught me a lot about the way the appliances work. The only problem with the repair was that it took a long time to get the parts. I understand because of the pandemic, there is a great deal of difficulty getting parts for certain appliances these days but nobody kept me informed that they were still waiting. I had to call three or four times. Other than that, it went pretty smoothly.

Calling AHS is better when filing a claim. I tried doing it online and it led to miscommunication because the webpage will not allow you to put in your work order unless you put it in more than one time. But unnecessarily charges can occur because you can't say exactly what's wrong without picking out more than one item.
The electronic repair went well. The electrician was great. It was a difficult job in some way because he had to figure out where the wire was dead and what was cutting the electric off but he was patient. He took his time and checked every socket to find out where the problem was. He kept trying until he figured it out. He had to go into my garage and I have stuff in there but none of that seemed to hinder him from doing his job. The other claim was terrible. A tech came out for the commode that wouldn't flush but didn't do anything he was supposed to. Then he tried to collect money from me to do some work but I knew that was not what I was supposed to do so I called back. Because I wasn’t getting anywhere, I stated that I would cancel the policy that I had. The lady said, “Give us one more chance. We’ll send somebody different from them company out.” They did that and the next repair guy did a little bit better but I'm still waiting to see if the policy is worth keeping.

The furnace was lighting unreliably. The AC would turn on and the air would start fine, but sometimes it would be warm, then sometimes it would remain cold. So, I called up the people that installed it and they gave me a couple of diagnostics to go through. It looked like it was going to need some sort of repair and one of the components was faulty. So, I scheduled with American Home Shield and the Alpha Heating guys came twice. The first time they were here, they took a look at it, did a bunch of diagnostics on the electrics, and figured out that it was the circuit board that was faulty. That was pretty quick and took 20 minutes or so.
Then, they ordered that and they told me they'd come back as soon as it was available. They gave me a call when it was available and scheduled a second visit. On the second visit, they came in and installed the part. It was all really painless and quick. The furnace has been working good ever since and the contractor did the job perfectly. They were also very professional and very efficient.
The only thing is, American Home Shield's website is kind of bare-bones and there's not much information on there. It doesn't tell you about anything that's happened in the past and it doesn't give you any details of what's going on. It also doesn't tell you who you have a service request with or what the phone number is or when they're scheduled to come. Other than that, I've used AHS for about five different service situations over the years and I've never had a reason to be annoyed or dissatisfied. I stuck with them all the time because it's a reasonable price and it has always worked out. It saved me headaches, too.

Everyone's been a big fail, across the board, specifically with Whirlpool and predominantly with American Home Shield. It's been just a cluster. The problem was, Whirlpool claims that they never submitted their report. I said, "I met the guy. He came to my house, he looked at my induction range and submitted a report." Then Whirlpool claimed they never received it. So that cost me about a month of back and forth. Every other day, 45 minutes to an hour on the phone. It was a disaster. Then I had to escalate it to the executive levels, where I said, “I'm done with these people.” Finally, they started taking me seriously and looking at it. They couldn't believe how it was mismanaged from the start. I got one of their specialists involved and they've been helping me. I've gotten some progress on items.
I have two open tickets. With the microwave oven deal, the tech came out fast. He looked into it quickly. He immediately followed up with American Home Shield. They did a great job. They were very transparent. They even called me and said, “We looked at everything. It's a little part that’s busted, but we can't find the part. It's too expensive to fix it. So we're just going to try to replace the unit for you.”
American Home Shield, in this case, stepped up. Because they said, “We can't fix it. We're gonna buy you a new one.” But the amount of money that they offered me to buy a new one was not sufficient to replace the microwave oven. I'm now waiting on them to get back to me on that topic. But so far, this has been the best case I've had.

We used another home warranty company before Home Shield. The home warranty was a good deal for us because we had an older house and things were breaking down. However, that home warranty company was awful to deal with. I did a lot of research to find what the best company was. American Home Shield came up as the best and we have been very satisfied with what they've offered.
When submitting claims, I find it very easy if you're online, but it's not easy at all if you call it in. If you call in, they ask for you to repeat all the information (your name or address, phone number, and email), and then your complaint has to fit in their categories. They're entering it into a computer, so it's almost like the worst of both, rather than the best of both. It takes a whole lot longer. Other than that, the recent repair people who came out were great. They had to order a part and they took care of everything quickly as well. It was excellent.
Sometimes there are excellent providers in the community that don't work with the home insurance companies. It's something not exclusive to Home Shield, but with all the home warranty companies. That's a problem because you have to have everything approved before the people can work on it. From the work people's perspective, they have to call things in and get it approved. It takes extra time, where they don't get paid for that time.

When I put in a call, AHS immediately gave me the number of the contractor. They said to go ahead and contact them. And I did. I set an appointment right away, so that was pretty smooth. The company was great as well. I've had a few other different ones that came out that also worked for American Home Shield and this one seemed a little more thorough. Their name is Redwood Coast and their tech took his time to figured out what was wrong with my plumbing. He even ran a camera down for us and checked it out. Then, we figured out quite a bit, so the service was a good and he fixed the problem. So I would recommend Redwood Coast.
Other than that, submitting claims with AHS has always been simple. I'm set up online and I have a couple different accounts with them like my home and one of my rentals where I had the most recent service. The plumbing there has been a problem spot in the old city of Eureka and their connections need to be replaced. But trying to get the city or the county to do anything takes a long time. So we've had three different plumbers from American Home Shield come out in the last six months. But as for the ease of using their website, I've already learned completely how to control my account on it. I can go back and look at things there, and I can check if I paid for a service. They have it set up well, so we like it.
All in all, our experience with AHS depends on who we get. When the plumber gets here and he sees the job, and you're trying to figure out if it's within your policy's sphere or make sure that it's not going above or up to a certain amount, the result just depends on who you get over the phone with American Home Shield when the plumber calls before they start the work. You might get someone who says they're going to have to pay for that. But you can also get a different customer service rep who, for the same thing, tells you something different. I've heard it from different plumbers, too. That's kind of how American Home Shield works, which I totally understand.
But I still enjoy their service and the warranty really comes in handy when something goes wrong. I've used Home Shield quite a bit and had different experiences. Some were great, some involved things where I got to call them back. But other than that, I would still recommend them to friends and family, especially when you change ownership of a place. It's good to put American Home Shield right in the contract and when you do it that way, you even get a discount. That is the first thing I do, then it's easier to keep the subscription yearly.
Someone calls you from American Home Shield, which is really cool, and they tell you that your membership needs to be renewed by that time. And usually you can ask and they'll give you a discount because you're continuing customers. My apartment costs only $75 per service call and I added Home Shield to my home after I had a good experience with it. Then, my service calls for my house is $100, so it's a little different.

So I'm pretty satisfied right now. It’s the first time we had to use AHS and I'm hoping it's like that every time. But the tech didn't seem very confident in what he was doing. He was calling either his manager or somebody just to make sure the steps that were being taken were correct. But our issue turned out to be a relatively easy one, so as far as we know, it's been resolved and I haven't had any other issue yet with the AC service.
Other than that, the first attempt that I made to file a claim, AHS provided me a plumber. They gave me a phone number for a plumbing company and that number was disconnected.

It was kind of an urgent thing that I needed fixed, so I just left it as is and I did not try to reach out to them at the moment.

The service company did a good job of troubleshooting the appliance, getting a part ordered, coming in and accomplishing the task at hand. But American Home Shield is a for-profit company, and they're going to pay as little as they can to those people they contract with, and they're going to maximize their profitability by not taking care of certain things, which they've done in my case.
The mechanical functional problem of the appliance, which got me to make the phone call, was repaired. But there was a broken handle that the guy reported and was trying to order. It's broken not from abuse but from just wear and tear. American Home Shield called and told me that they were not going to cover that handle. Then the rep went on to read about abuse, but this had nothing to do with abuse. The thing broke and it was not functioning. So American Home Shield is going to only take care of what they believe they're required to take care of. They're not going to go above the call of duty. American Home Shield could have handled that a lot differently from a customer service standpoint. The person who called me wasn't pleasant. I'm sure she has been trained to represent the company and why they're not going to do something.
American Home Shield has a very tough return on investment to buy because products are now created in a way that they are disposable. If you're paying X dollars a month, you'd be better off just buying a new appliance because of planned obsolescence. Other than that, American Home Shield calls me back and they get the things done.

The electrical repair claim I had was completed. The technician fixed the problem as soon as possible. The part came and it took around 45 minutes to fix it and then he left. I've had other claims in the past and they were good. But this is the second time my refrigerator got changed. My food is getting wasted a lot of times. So that's what I'm asking but the American Home Shield reps say that they are not doing anything for it. I also had plumbing work at the same time but it was not fixed for me. In the kitchen, my water was coming very close and the plumber said that he would call me back. But he left and never called me back. He then closed my account. Other than that, my overall experience with AHS has been good.
Thanks for reaching out to provide that feedback. I am glad the contractors followed through with the appointment that was set but happier for you that your issue has been resolved. We are here for you if you need us in the future. Take Care.

Hoosier Plumbing was absolutely phenomenal. I made a claim, Hoosier called me, scheduled immediately, and came out and did the work. However, they had to cut out drywall to get to my leaky repair, so I have a big hole in my ceiling and it's been a week today since they fixed it. I have yet to have anyone assigned to come back and fix my drywall though. Hoosier doesn't do that and they even told me that. Somebody was going to be assigned for it, but I haven't heard from anybody. I called Home Shield on Wednesday and all the automated thing said was they're looking for somebody.

My boyfriend told me about American Home Shield and suggested it. It’s a good deal. If I have a major appliance breakdown, it saves me from having to buy a new appliance or pay for a service fee. When my freezer wasn't freezing and my fridge wasn't cooling, I called American Home Shield over the phone. I also asked them to give me a bit of time to pay the $100. They said they’d hold it, but they charged my card anyway, which was frustrating. I don’t like being lied to. Other than that, it was fine. The man came out and figured out what's wrong then he got the unit cooling again. Some of my food went bad, but I would have lost a lot more. The man was great. He showed what he was doing and he explained to me. He was very helpful too, but the icemaker and the water thing doesn't work yet. He was supposed to get a part and he said he'd be back with it. Now, I’m waiting.

American Home Shield took quite a while, but eventually, I got a new microwave. We've been without it since December. A couple of weeks there to the end, there was a bad weather. I was supposed to get it one week, and then they called in with the bad weather. They brought it the next week. And then Riley came in last Friday and installed it in. Everything is working good now. Just from December to the 1st of March was quite a long time without it. But other than that, I'm happy now.

There were some good things that we've experienced, but some unfortunate things. The first time we used American Home Shield, we had some plumbing replaced, and that went super smooth. And then, we had another plumbing situation that didn't go as smooth. It was a poor experience. The holdup was the plumbing contractors dragged their feet and I constantly had to call AHS to have them call the contractors. It was a serious problem. My only bathtub was unusable, and I got two kids for four months. Four months later, I had to pay 400 bucks out of my own pocket and I ended up having to do a three-way call between AHS and the contractors for someone to get it together enough to get someone out here.
But then, the next claim, we had our fridge fixed, and the dude was out here in a week, that was it, and fixed it. So, it depends on the service. And it matters what contractors AHS has because the game that kept getting played was I would call AHS and they would put all the blame on the contractor. That's fine up until a point. But I pay AHS to be the conduit between me and the contractor.
If AHS hires a contractor that has a history of not getting back to folks, that's on AHS to make sure they look at that feedback customers are giving and look at switching contractors because it was ridiculous. Right now, we're supposed to have a washer fixed and we put that claim in two months ago and no one has called us or has been out here, so I'm gonna have to call about that one. With the good things that happened, it's worth talking to people, and hopefully, AHS makes some changes or we will look at a new home warranty.

I had an issue with a spigot in the bathroom and the repair that the tech did worked. He was a nice guy, too. But usually, the service I got from the techs who come out isn't fine and I've had so many stinky experiences. Many times, I've had to prepay because you're not allowed to schedule online without paying first, but when I've had someone come out, they couldn't fix the problem or they try to upsell me. They'd say they'd come back and fix it for me, but since it was not covered, it'd cost me $300.
And the last plumber that came didn't even really do anything. He took out a little piece and the spigot worked again. But he gave me a card for his own plumbing company if I ever needed it. So, it’s always an ulterior motive with these folks, which is really frustrating. Also, when I set the appointment, I'd like to be able to describe the problem instead of just checking the box. I've had people come out and tell me that my concern was not covered and I would like to know that before I pay my $75.

AHS offered the fall cleaning for winter of the heating unit and I availed of that. When the tech came out, he said that it looked like my motor didn't have a whole lot of life left, but he couldn't do anything about it because that wasn't the intent of that service call. He just told me to observe it. Then, it started making a lot of odd noises and I didn't think it was working correctly. It didn't seem like it was kicking on when it needed to, so I put the call in and he came out. He changed the motor and it's been wonderful ever since.
I submitted the claim on the computer and I found it a lot easier than trying to talk to a human on the phone. When you call AHS, it’s all automated anyway, so you're talking to a computer on the phone. They said that the tech would call me or they would call to set up a time to come out and address the issue. And the tech who came out was someone who had been out here before to do my air conditioner when we had issues, over the course of years that we've had American Home Shield. He had always been very professional. He came in, did the work, and left. But he was easy to talk to and I felt like I have a rapport with him. Initially, American Home Shield wanted me to use somebody in Mishawaka, Indiana and I wasn't comfortable starting up using a new company I didn't know anything about since I had been using All Seasons for years already. So, I waited until he could come out and do the work.
So far, American Home Shield is the best warranty company and I’ve never dealt really with any other. But my cousin recently purchased a condo and she was given, as part of the deal, a one-year contract with a different home warranty company. When her washer fuzzed out and the drainage motor died, she told me about her issues and I was telling her about American Home Shield. I also went online to back up my argument with her to see who is rated as number one, and American Home Shield is rated as number one all the way around.

I had an appliance issue and the claim was handled wonderfully. They came out promptly. The parts are on order and I'm waiting for them to come put them in when they arrive. With the refrigerator stuff, the experience has been amazing, but with my air conditioning stuff, it was not so good. I've had five visits from Total Air Care for my heat this winter. I've had three visits from the air conditioning people since I've been here. So, I've had eight visits in less than two years. They keep telling me they need to put in Freon, they need to do this, they need to do that. The system's 14 years old. They'll recommend replacement, but then when I would call American Home Shield, they would say, “No. You need this, that, and the other,” but they haven't said anything about replacement. I'm caught in the middle.
The plumbing issue I had was fixed with no problem. I don't have a problem with American Home Shield because when I put in a request and pay my $75, somebody is here usually within 48 hours. If it's an emergency, they're here sooner, but it hasn't been that bad. So, I've been impressed with that but the air conditioner was still leaking. It leaked off and on for almost three weeks before they figured out how to stop the leaking through my ceiling. American Home Shield should replace my heating and air conditioning systems without me having to call every three weeks. Other than that, I'm really satisfied with American Home Shield. I'm not satisfied with the contractor they're using that gives them the information that they're making decisions on.

We had a jetted tub in the master bathroom that we thought the button that turns it on was not working correctly. I submitted the claim then I received an email stating that a company had been assigned. I waited for 24 hours to give them a chance, but then I reached out to them directly. We weren't there when Walston Mechanical initially came out and said that there was no power to the tub, so they couldn't test anything. Come to find out, the breaker in the panel box was off and the technician just didn't think to turn the panel box back on.
We adjusted it, we turned the panel box on, I called them back, and then the technician went out. He removed the motor in the jetted tub as it was blown up or wasn't functioning. He called AHS to get a replacement or order a replacement, and so that's where we are at, and we are waiting for the part to be ordered. I was 100% impressed with the ability for them to get out there quickly, their professionalism while they were there, and then the follow-up.

Our hot water heater died unexpectedly. I called Home Shield and they assigned us a contractor. They immediately came out. When they came out the first time, they were very professional, listened to the diagnosis that we had, and immediately believed it was a problem. They applied what they thought was going to be the immediate fix the problem, which was replacing a thermocouple. The fix that they initially did, knowing that the entire control board had most likely failed in there, should have worked. That was based on their experience. Before they left, they made sure everything was working. It just so happened that within a matter of hours, the fix that they had applied turned out not to be the solution because the hot water heater itself was bad. We called back later that evening and told them that the hot water heater was out again. On the whole, the contractor came out more than twice.
We worked with Home Shield to make sure that the right thing was fixed. They ended up replacing the entire hot water heater. We would recommend Home Shield.

If I call American Home Shield for a claim, they have to assign a contractor to come here. Sometimes, it's easier for me to just call my own contractor. It's just weird that I have to go to certain people they assign to me, which is something I don't like. The process just seems to work out now because I moved to a new area so I don't know a lot of people.
I had the heat pump looked at before the winter started because I knew that both my heat pump and my furnace are older systems. I got my own company that used to service this home from the people that I bought it from. I had them come out and they told me there were all these things that needed to be done to my heat pump. I told them that I couldn't use them and that I had to go through my home warranty.
American Home Shield sent out a person and the guy went up there, checked it, and said everything was perfect. I had two different opinions on my heat pump. I told the person American Home Shield sent out that I had the previous owner's company come out and they said something was wrong. He blew me off and said nothing was wrong with it.
Right when it was cold outside, the heat pump broke and I didn't have any heat upstairs. The second time it broke, the thermostat was coming out 61 degrees. I called Home Shield and they set up an appointment. Best Tech contacted me almost immediately to set up an appointment to come out. It was the same day. They looked at the motor and said it was shot. The tech took one look at everything and said my motor froze up. I wasn't getting any heat because it wasn't working. I had to wait for the part and they got it. That took a couple of weeks.
Best Tech was not the first company that American Home Shield sent out for my heat pump. American Home Shield wouldn't let me just pick my own contractor so I had to pay the money and go back through them again. I love Best Tech but I was just a bit annoyed. If I had to request anybody else, Best Tech would be the ones I would request to have.
All in all, American HomeShield does get a tech assigned to me right away. I just don't like their process. They have to change it. If asked if I would get another home warranty, most likely because it did come in handy for me. Everything just takes a little bit longer when you go through a home warranty than if you have somebody come in and do the work.
American Home Shield has taken care of everything and I had to pay the fee, which is a little high. I didn't realize when I got the home warranty that I had to pay a fee every time I called. Other than that, the home warranty really works. You just have to sit around and wait. I'm more concerned when it's cold outside. I can't wait and have the house freezing. There was also the claim with the hot water tank and that took a few weeks for them to get it here. Luckily, I had a second one so I was okay.
If possible, I would want things to be faster and for me to be able to use my own contractor. But in the case of my heat pump, I would use Best Tech again. I would also use the plumber that came out and did the hot water tank again because I liked them. They were great. Once they got the hot water tank, they came right here and installed it for me.

American Home Shield is the best. I have enjoyed dealing with it. The customer service has been good. Even with the contractors that they have come out to my homes, I haven't had any type of complaints. I've always traveled with the military and my best friend was a soldier. She had two houses that she had rented out while we were PCSing. One of the Realtors had told her that having American Home Shield is an easy way of keeping up the maintenance. When we got back and I got my home here, she was like, “Look, you need to call them because stuff is gonna go wrong. You see how things happened at the other house.” When I was able to get everything started, it came in handy. I was like, “Yeah, I'll never go nowhere without it.”
For a while there, because I had no fixed job, I had stopped using it. It just didn’t seem right. Something had happened, and I was like, “Oh my god, I can’t call them to come out. I have to call a regular person. I got to go and get this company back. I don’t like this.” AHS is so convenient. I have recommended them to a lot of people. It’s a really good company to have, especially if you own your home because things are gonna go wrong, and it’s not always convenient.
Recently, we had that little cold front that came through. I hadn't used my heater in my house until the heat really dropped down and got really cold. I didn't have to use it for the last season when it got really cold, but this year, I went ahead and did it because it got down in the 20s. I was like, “No, you know what? I need to have them to come out and look at this and make sure everything is okay with it before we just crank it up, since I hadn’t used it in a while.” When I did turn it on, it started making these noises.
I called and put a work order in. Someone came right out. The two contractors that I talked with, while they were good people, I didn't think they had done a good thorough check for it to have been not used in a while. The boss of that particular company came out. I was surprised. What happened was the motor had burnt out. I was like, “Why they didn't catch that when they came out yesterday?” He went ahead and got the part, came back and fixed it. It’s been heating up the house ever since.

The claim for the washing machine went absolutely great. The dude was prompt. He fixed everything and explained everything that went wrong. He even entertained my son, because my son is very curious on mechanics. So he was letting my son kinda help him a little bit. I am very grateful for that. Pretty much every maintenance people we've had that come out with American Home Shield, other than one, had been excellent with my kids and very patient with their curiosity.

I put clothes in the dryer to dry and then, I started smelling something and smoke came out. I turned the dryer off. The contractor did a great job and since then, my equipment is working. We're a family of seven so the dryer being fixed helped me a lot to do my laundry while I'm doing my other house chores in my house instead of me going to the Laundromat, so it was very convenient for me. American Home Shield is efficient and very professional. I’ve had them for a year and a half now. Getting a warranty is the best thing to do. When you got those electrical equipment, anything can go wrong anytime. I didn’t expect my dryer when it smoked. So, it was better that I had AHS. It saved me a lot.

I was having problems with my heat pump system so we had a tech come out to service it. He diagnosed it as a bad controller board and had to order a part. The tech came back a week later when the part came in, to install it. At the same time, it was found out that my old thermostat was not functioning correctly either and was part of the problem, so it had to be replaced as well. But it's working fine now. We're very happy and satisfied with AHS. I've had them for many years and they provide a very good service and response. It's a very worthwhile service and it has saved me a lot of money.

I heard some good things about American Home Shield and so I switched to them. With my recent claim, I'm still having issues with my appliance that they repaired. The technician that they sent was very bad. He said that I purposely damaged my appliance, which makes absolutely no sense why anybody would do that on purpose. I had to fight for them to even consider my repair, and at this point, they have to replace my appliance. If they don’t, then it’s gonna be the worst score.

I'm glad that I have AHS. They are prompt at getting somebody here and the people that they've had are good. I called for my washer, my dryer and my refrigerator. The contractor came out and there were some parts that needed to be replaced on the washer. They got the parts within two weeks and they came back. The dryer was just a little thing but I got the same guy for the washer and the dryer and he was good. For the refrigerator that doesn't get real cold, they couldn't come for that until the end of March. But I haven't lost any food so it's not that big of a deal.

The furnace gas burner started to act up. AHS scheduled a company to come out called Fast Response. When the tech came out, falsely, he didn't find other things that were wrong. The furnace was leaking and it had yellow stuff on it. It messed up the control panel and it took 15 days for them to even come back with this little part, which they never did. I called back American Home Shield and they referred a second company, Comfort Air. They took care of it. Then, recently, the motor blower went out. They came back out, checked it and they had to wait for a part. They put it on this past Monday. So, everything was good.

The work Big Kountry did for me was great. The tech was able to check the spinner, but he wasn't able to look at the washing machine and do a practice run because I had no water. I needed it fixed so when I had water, then I could use it. Sometimes, what it does is it'll still stay on wash, but yet, it's not doing anything so I have to hit the button again and then it starts all over. By then, the soap is already gone, but it hasn't spun. It's only happened on one load, so I'm going to use it for a few more loads and see if that's still an issue. If it is, then I'll give Big Kountry a call.
However, it took too long to get them out here. But it's not their issue, it’s American Home Shield. I am dissatisfied. Then, the freeze messed that up. So then, when they were rescheduling, it wasn't Johnny-on-the-spot. I had to pitch a fit and called American Home Shield then asked for sales in order to get a live person. Then, they were able to move it up a couple of days. What's so annoying is the warranty I had before was cheaper as well as its copay, but yet, I got better service. I just left them because they always had nobody in our area and they'd tell us to go find someone.
I thought this would be a better experience. I expect way more, out of paying more, on both ends. I want to look elsewhere because I have a hard time with American Home Shield. I don't appreciate having to pay for my service before I even know what times can be available. I want to know when they are coming before I have to pay for it. So, I'm supposed to pay for it and just wait for a call from someone.

American Home Shield is definitely worth having since I've only had to use it twice, but they were for dire needs. One time, my AC went out in the middle of summer and I was able to get that fixed within the next business day. I would tell friends and family, if they are homeowners, to definitely get it because it does work out in the end. It's very easy to submit service requests. I usually go online and follow the steps. Typically, I'll have the technician call me, and I'll schedule the appointment that way. The technician that came out recently was very professional. He taught me a bit about my dishwasher that I didn't know after using it for so many years. That was always interesting.

It was very difficult getting ahold of a person with American Home Shield. I would love to see them use a call center in the United States 'cause the persons I spoke with spoke English but did not understand the context of English.

I finally got ahold of someone and their English was much better. They knew what the basement was so they changed my claim from routine to expedited and got it resolved on a Monday. The tech was at my house waiting for me before I got back from where I was. I've had lots of experiences with American Home Shield and this was the most frustrating.

My most recent claim with AHS was my dishwasher and the experience was good. I had an issue with the vendor. First, they ordered the wrong parts, so I had to wait another week. Then, the part came in, but he didn't have the right fitting for the parts. He was going to use the fitting for the old part, but he couldn't get it off. I said, "Go to Home Depot and get it." He was trying to tell me to go to Home Depot and he said, "When you get it, just put it on here." I said, "No, you do it. That way, if the kitchen floods, I can blame you." He said, "Okay, I'll have to order the part and then I'll have to come back." The following week, he had a family emergency. But, the following week after that, he came out and he fixed it in a timely manner and it's working perfectly now. I'm happy with the end result and I'm really not mad at the vendor that much. I get it, stuff happens.
I was perfectly happy with him overall. He was clean and professional. He was in a uniform. He had all the tools he needed. He also would try to scrape as much stuff off of his boots as possible before he came in, and then he put those booty cover things over his shoes so that he wasn't trekking snow and salt and dirt in the house. I really appreciated that. He had me turn the power off, which I know was for his own safety, but I appreciated that too because I didn't want him getting electrocuted in my house.
Navigating through the homepage of AHS was super easy. Once you get logged in, there's a huge button right on the main page. You can't miss it. It's right there so that there's not any confusion, which is really good because you're already frustrated because something broke at your house. I'm tech-savvy, but if someone older tried to go on there, they would not have a hard time filing a claim. Soon as you click it, it gives you the full list of stuff that might be broken and you just click on it.
AHS is a lifesaver. They have already saved me thousands of dollars. At the same time the dishwasher was going on, I noticed I had a wet spot on my ceiling in one of the upstairs bedrooms. So the guy came out to work on my roof and American Home Shield covered that. I don't know how much it cost, but I'm sure it would have been a lot of money. It was the flashing around the chimney that needed to be resealed.
I had a major gas leak in my basement on Christmas Day 2019. I don't leave it in the house for a couple of months at that point. I smelled it in one spot, but when they went around to check, they found three separate leaks. AHS covered all of that. They had to redo some plumbing to get the gas right. Since they were working on it, they had to bring it up to code, so they had to redo the valves as well. There was even some extra work involved and they covered all of it. They replaced my stove. They also replaced my central air unit. AHS is great. When you're a first-time homeowner, it's already scary when something breaks. You don't feel that initial heart drop when you realize something expensive just broke because you're like, "It's cool. American Home Shield will take care of it."

My tenant had a leak. It doesn't happen immediately. It happens after the water is on for a period of time. When she set up the appointment, the tech came out, she had cut the water on and the leak was not apparent. So, he could not address what he could not see, ergo nothing could be done. She explained the situation to him. He said, "Well, when it happens, give us a call back." She left the water on and the leak returned. She set up another appointment, and they came out, they've seen what the problem was and they corrected it. She was quite happy with the results, and with how well they cooperated with her and the understanding they had. She had called me when he was saying like, "We can't just sit around and wait for a leak to develop." But they did come back out once it became apparent, and they resolved the issue.
We have a couple of houses attached to American Home Shield. And from time to time, they get them confused.

I was a little disappointed at first because I was scheduled twice for somebody to come out and for those two times, they did not arrive at my house when they said. I called the company and spoke to them asking them why they had not arrived or what was going on. The technician called in sick the first time. The next time, they were running behind and didn’t show at all.
Finally, they showed up yesterday. They came in, checked the hot water heater out and said it was no good. They have to see about getting a part so it has not been resolved yet. Also, for the copayments, I was paying $75 per time that I had to have a tech come out on the last place. Now, I’m paying $100 with AHS every time.

We bought a house and the dryer was making an awful rumbling noise. It seemed like it was falling through the floor. The tech knew exactly what to do. The issue was that the person who was renting the house before we bought it was using a lot of fabric softener which allowed the lint to get sucked to the fan. The lint would stick to the fan instead of getting exhausted out. There was half a pail of lint in there. The tech did a lovely job and was such a nice and polite man. The dryer is quiet as a mouse now.
There was one thing with AHS that was a bother to me. When I was trying to make appointments on the phone, the recorded message was very hard. The recording gives me numbers and reference numbers very fast. We're old people and we can't write that fast. I had to keep listening to it over and over again to get the right number. Also, the recorded kept asking me to put in my phone number. Every time my number was put in, the recording would say, "That number is not recognizable". After I went through this three times, I put my cell phone number which I never really use and the recording accepted that. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has had a problem. These are two things that would really improve my experience with AHS.
Other than that, everything is very good. My home warranty gives me comfort knowing that if anything big goes out, the service fee is all it's going to really cost. American Home Shield is a marvelous company. When we move, if we can't transfer it, we'll take it with us then buy the new homeowners AHS so they're covered for a year.

Back around August 2020, our dishwasher was leaking. So we reached out to American Home Shield (AHS). I paid for the 1st service request in August 2020, and AHS sent out their 1st technician. The 1st diagnosis was that the motor was broken. After couple weeks, they got the new part and replaced the broken motor. The dishwasher was working. But after another week or so, we noticed that the dishwasher was leaking again. So we requested for a follow up service visit.
This time, when the service technician came, we turned on the dishwasher and informed him that it takes some time before it starts leaking. The technician was very impatient and was not willing to wait and just ended up with a report saying that the dishwasher is working and that no leakage was found. He claims that we could be filling up the dishwasher with too many dishes that could cause leakages. We didn't contest the reasoning, but it didn't sound right to us.
We just accepted the fact and hopes that it was just our overloading of the dishwasher that caused the leak. We minimized the load but the dishwasher was leaking again. So in January 2021, we paid for another $125 for another service request to have it fixed. This time AHS sent out a different contractor and their diagnosis was worn/failing seals. So after another week, the technician came and replaced the seals. The dishwasher worked once, but started to leak again. So they sent out the same technician end of January for another diagnosis. This technician says there's nothing more they can do, so I had to talk to AHS. AHS said they needed a 2nd opinion, so in February they sent a new technician from another company.
The new technician that arrived said the same thing as the 1st technicians. The motor and seals have been replaced and that no further action could be taken to repair this unit. I called AHS, but what they explain to me drastically differs from what the technician told me. They say that the technician report states the dishwasher is leaking due unevenness and that they do not have adequate spacing to make the adjustments. And they request that I need to make room for them to do the adjustments.
My cabinets expanded due to the 1st leak back in August, which reduced the spacing for the dishwasher. I went ahead and hired a handyman to help me make more space and pulled the dishwasher out so that the AHS contractor had enough room to service the dishwasher and not be confined by space. We called the contractor to notify that they have enough space to work on the dishwasher now. But the contractor said that on the report, it now says that there was no leakage. Both the technician and myself have video proofs of it leaking, I'm baffled with this diagnosis and told them that this is not what your technician told me and that we both took our own photos and video of the leakage. They were then willing to send out the technician again for further diagnosis.
The same technician came over and even he said he doesn't know why he's being sent out again and that my dishwasher was clearly leaking. He made sure that on the report he listed that is was leaking too. He also claimed that there is nothing else he could do to repair this dishwasher and that it should be replaced. He also tried leveling it and it continued to leak.
Today (March 4th 2021), AHS sent me an email to ask me to talk to them about this claim. The agent tells me that they will not honor this replacement cuz there is damage to the bracket of the dishwasher. When my handyman took out the dishwasher, we already noticed the bracket damage and the damage was caused when the 1st technician replaced the motor. AHS still denies it and said no further action will be taken.
I have spent enough time and effort trying to work with AHS to get my dishwasher fixed or replaced under their warranty and it's obvious enough and with evidence, that they are trying all they can to refuse replacement. If has been extremely frustrating to spend all this time and effort to talk to both AHS and their contractor and how their service report could differ from the time of service really baffles me.
Thanks for sharing your warranty experience. My name is Stacy and I have just sent you an email as I would like to contact you in an effort to assist with a resolution.

We've been with American Home Shield for quite a while then we stopped because we helped a friend. We gave her a chance and we moved to another company, but she left the company after that. Now, we're back with Home Shield again. Recently, there was a problem with the thermostat control. We went online (that was easy), and they responded very quickly. The contractor replaced the thermostat control. That company's 100% excellent. We have liked Home Shield for a long time too. We're happy with the coverage, although they are more expensive than others. The cost goes with the service, but when you are dealing with retirees with their fixed income, then cost is quite touchy.

My water heater had been leaking and I needed somebody to come out to see if it needed to be fixed or replaced, which was why I reached out to American Home Shield. I was a little upset that I had to take out more money than I thought I should have given that I had American Home Shield insurance. So, I had to call the customer service and have them break down to me why I had to pay 300 and something dollars out of pocket, when I thought that I was covered by the replacement of the water heater. But AHS is doing a good job. They are very prompt in referring me out to a contractor if I need services. Any time I had issues, they sent somebody out and the contractor got the job done.

I was with Fidelity for 10 years, and the last couple of years, there were delays and any situation that came up with pretty much they avoided to pay. A few cases, they were okay, but overall, I was dissatisfied. I eventually got to a point that I was fed up. So, I switch all my six properties to American Home Shield. I have them for almost six months now, and with the service calls I had, I'm overall much more happier. It seems to be better.
The claims submission process is pretty good. One improvement they need to do is on the section where one can change the phone number. After calling a couple of times, I found out that when you open a service call, there is a place where you can change the phone number. For example, I wanted to put my tenant's name and number for each property, but that is not on their website. I think that's good to have. But as far as opening a service call and the feedback as far as the collaboration using text message or email, that's pretty good.

And my question was, “If you can’t take it out, how can you say you can repair something?”
I had to get somebody to take out the microwave. They would then come and put a part. It was a very uncalled for situation for me that I could not handle. I was so tied up and so stressed out that I told American Home Shield to forget it. I had someone install the new one in there because I was tired of waiting forever on the part. I have nothing against the guy who came because he diagnosed the problem. American Home Shield was also prompt. Other than this claim, I’ve been satisfied with American Home Shield.

We had an air conditioning problem three times in the past in one of the properties in Plano and we called American Home Shield, but we had the worst experience with them.

I had my private air conditioning company fix the unit for much cheaper.
I thought of canceling our home warranty company too. If I have to spend that much money every time I call for a big thing, there is no point having it. I'll just keep saving the money I pay every month and that'll be more worth it. I didn't get a chance to cancel it though. When my tenant called from this property, they were having some heating problems. I tried to find out if I still had American Home Shield, and I'm still having their service. I called them. Somehow, I told them not to send the same company. They assigned a different company this time and they changed the switch. This time, the experience was good.

There was a little gas leak that was going into the valve. Fortunately, the service guy did a quick spray test and tightened a screw. It was a simple fix but a pretty serious problem with a little gas leak. We’ve had Home Shield for years and in the last year, it has gotten a lot better to schedule. In the past, it was painful to get someone to come ’cause 9 out of 10 times it'd be an urgent matter, whether it was plumbing, heating, or air conditioning. But when you do it online, within a few minutes, they give you the vendor and you can call them to ensure it gets scheduled, as opposed to waiting 24 or 48 hours for them to get back to you.
American Home Shield still uses some vendors that are not very good. I can single a few out. One appliance vendor came and he had a horrible history online. He scheduled the appointment and didn't show up. When he came, he ordered the part but it was the wrong part and then he just said that he couldn't fix the appliance. The claim was for a stove for a tenant. It happened in October and then right before Thanksgiving he said that he couldn't fix it. So they had to get a different tech. But through trial and error, we've learned which vendors American Home Shield has are capable and which ones are not.

They told me to talk to the vendor or the technician to ask them, which I thought was a little backwards because we pay them for a warranty and they should be the ones to tell us if something is covered or not. It took me four phone calls to get somebody out here. Once it was decided what service I needed, the contractor, Metro Plumbing, was great. We talked to them and it sounded like it would be covered but they weren’t gonna confirm that before AHS did. Once the guy came out, he said it was super-basic, routine thing. He was out of here in an hour and 10 minutes. It was quick.

I submitted a claim to American Home Shield and Ed, the guy from Barlow Plumbing, came out the very next day. He was very personable, COVID friendly and did his job. He fixed the issue and the plumbing is doing fine.

I put my claim through the internet. Got the email stating that Mister Plumber was coming by on March 2nd between 8:00 to 12:00. They showed up at around 10:00, took some pictures, and said they need to replace the water heater. They have to submit the paperwork to the insurance company for approval of replacement. Then they left and I've not heard anything from them since.
What raised my eyebrows is when I went to the website and checked, it showed the claim as being complete. I called Mister Plumber this morning and they told me they submitted it yesterday. I called AHS and asked them about it. The representative said they hadn't received any paperwork. So now that's really interesting. This is a drawn out process that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I left another home warranty company 'cause I wasn't satisfied with them, and the sales pitch intrigued me. But now I'm just starting to think that all it was, was a sales pitch. I left one disaster to potentially get into another one. It hasn't been a very pleasant experience at all.

The refrigerator needed the ice machine fixed and the dishwasher door handle needed to be replaced. AHS was very nice and understanding. They sent a guy out, which I was very pleased with, although there were a few hang-ups. He couldn't fix both at the same time like he planned because when he opened up the box to replace the piece for the dishwasher, it was the wrong piece. He came back about a week later after that and fixed the other one.

I logged into my account with AHS and I requested service, paid the fee and AHS did the rest. The tech was out here the next day. He diagnosed the problem and fixed it the same day, and our heat pump was repaired and is now working very well. He did an excellent job. AHS is a great investment and you can't go wrong by having a warranty to take care of all your needs if something should break down.

So far, I've been happy except for this last big one. We're on the bumpy side. American Home Shield wanted to argue with me about it and I'm still waiting for my reimbursement for some stuff I had got done. The bill’s turned in but I haven't heard back from them to see if I need to do anything else. I don't know if they're gonna send me something that they received it. But they've done some other things for me and they've paid the bill. I've told people about American Home Shield. It's a good deal.

The AC wasn't working and it could have been due to the storm. One gentleman came out and fixed it. He didn't explain to me in detail what all he did, but he did well, so I can’t complain. Otherwise, I would have called back and complained. I also appreciated him coming way earlier because they gave me an email appointment and I had to work. So, the fact that he came that morning made it even better for me to do what I needed to do.

Technically, my experience with Home Shield per se was not a good one off the start because the first person they were gonna send me never showed. I had to call Home Shield twice to get the service for the first thing. They need to work on the contractors 'cause it messes up their overall perception. Other than that, Home Shield sent residential. They followed up in a timely manner, showed up and fixed my dishwasher. I've been using it ever since.

Something electrical went wrong with the heating unit inside the house and the tech had to replace a transformer. It flowed like water under the bridge. Brad, the fellow who came out here, was excellent. He knew what he was doing and solved the problem in no time. I’ve had him before. Everything was expedient and efficient, and just what I expected from American Home Shield. I’ve been with them for a few years now and I'm very satisfied and recommend it to anybody.

It started getting cold inside the house. The heater was clicking on and off but it stopped blowing completely on Tuesday. I called American Home Shield and the repair guy came out on Saturday. He was great. It was cold and he went up in the attic. I went up there and asked him if he needed anything and he didn't. He stayed right on it, did what he had to do and got the heater working. I would recommend the repair guy to anybody that I know because I didn't have any problem with him. AHS is excellent and I would recommend them.

I normally file claims with AHS over the phone but I hate it. It's so frustrating. It takes me half an hour just to speak to a person and then every time I get someone, I can never understand what they're saying. It’s always someone with a different language and I got to constantly repeat the same things over and over again. It’s so bad. It’s to the point where I’ve told them that I'm gonna close my account if they don’t get better with their customer service.
