    Requesting for service has been easy because American Home Shield allows us to do it either online or by phone. The last one I did was online, and it took me 30 seconds. Everybody has always been out within a day or two. Recently, we had a clog. The techs were fast and efficient. However, some of the stuff could be covered better. I have an older air conditioning unit. But AHS doesn't cover very much for the unit if it does. So, I'm debating whether or not I wanna keep AHS because that was the reason why I got their home warranty in the first place. It's good for the smaller stuff, but for the bigger things, I would check other companies as well.

    The heater would not come on. AHS got someone out almost immediately. The tech went over and beyond to do a thorough job. I was very impressed with how thorough he was. He made sure everything was running smoothly before he left. He was very professional. We've had a good experience with AHS. I extended my first year warranty into my second year. That's how good it's been.

    When I call in for service, that usually gets rectified quickly. I saw a pipe dripping underneath the kitchen sink but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. So, American Home Shield sent the rep over. He was so thorough and figured it out. It was coming from my garbage disposal. He was able to resolve the problem. And thank God he was that thorough because he could have just said, “Well, I don't see anything.” Because when he came in, it was dry. So, it wasn't until he started running the garbage disposal and running the water that he saw that that was the area that had to be addressed. I was very happy that claim.

    However, I'm upset with AHS that I couldn't talk to somebody in the United States about my bill. I'm talking to South America. The girl did not explain it very well. I wanted to change my due date from the 1st to the 2nd. She had a supervisor call me. She couldn't explain it either. I was done. I'm so disappointed that I couldn't talk to somebody in the United States who could explain it to me. She said there are no customer service reps in the United States. It's all outsourced. And when it's being outsourced, they are just reading from a script or just saying, “Well, this is what it is.” It's like they want to collect two payments for me to change the due date by one day, and can't explain to me what they are doing with my extra payment. That part is super upsetting to me with AHS that I could not get it resolved. I wouldn't recommend going to American Home Shield.

    Sears did great. The tech was in and out in a flash. I was happy with the service. the house is 20 years old and the appliances are getting some age on it. Some of them, American Home Shield already replaced. But the advantage is it costs me $75 for a service call with them, and like the service call from Sears, their standard charge is $150 if I had done it on my own. I pay 75 bucks a month for a year, but since we've had it, we're ahead of the game.

    The only thing that pisses me off about them is when you try to talk to a human being, I get someone from Guatemala, Mexico or the Philippines that only halfway speaks English. It's really difficult if you have to call them and I would love to talk to an American or at least a full English-speaking person who’d understand. Other than that, AHS has been great for us. We've replaced appliances and we've upgraded. They've given us the extra so that we can upgrade the appliance that we had because you couldn't get parts and they're gonna do something similar.

    I had a problem in the kitchen and a plumber changed the faucet. But the faucet kept coming apart and the whole tubing got disconnected. My wife was using hot water and she burned herself because the plumber used a cheap plastic faucet from Lowe's or Home Depot. They didn't get good quality one. I had another plumber and they did the work better than all the other times I have had so far. They used better quality stuff too.

    Contractors in the past make a work order where a lot of things would need to be replaced. When my water heater went out, the plumber wanted to charge $1,400 to bring the base for the water heater up to date but this would not include the water heater. Some of the stuff he wants to charge me was already there. The only thing that was missing was the pan. This company wanted to make extra money so they made the quotes higher than what it actually was. I had to find a plumber on my own and I had it replaced for $1,200 including the water heater.

    For a couple of things, American Home Shield has been beneficial. But for other things, it depends on the company. I also had to pay $125 for every service call. I’m already paying $40 a month right now to have the contract for a year. The faucet in the kitchen only cost $79. I spend a lot more to get the work done when I could have done it myself. When looking for a home warranty, see other companies and compare prices, coverage, and co-pay because the other companies that I have talked to charge $55, $65 for the co-pay instead of 125.

    My appliance stopped washing and it was leaking. When the tech opened it up, apparently, a piece of broken glass was in it. He was able to take it out and we paid him for new hose and everything on it. He did his work. He told me what was wrong, had to order the pieces and came back the next day and put them in. I called the claim in to American Home Shield. They took my information and they had someone get in touch with me. He was the serviceman. He called me and we scheduled an appointment.

    I'm pretty confident about what AHS is offering as a warranty. But the vendors that they contact come in all shapes and sizes and especially the customer service part of it. Our experience for like almost 11 months was nothing got fixed. We got poor responses from all the mechanics that they have asked us to contact for the issues that we had. But lately, the experience has been better compared to before. On our last claim, we got the heating repaired properly and the guy was very nice. We still have one more issue. It's the dishwasher and they said that they're going to get the parts back.

    Having a warranty keeps you from having the hassle of trying to figure it out on your own. Like, I would have to be calling around trying to find a person to come. American Home Shield pretty much researched and knew who was out there that was dependable and smart enough to come out and fix it. In my recent claim, the furnace wouldn’t come on. It was intermittent. The first time that the technician from May Heating and Air came, we reset it at the circuit breaker, it went through. It had no codes so the tech cleaned his stuff out and went home. Then it got cold again, it went out again. By the time it reset itself, we turned breakers, trying to make it kick itself back on. They found no issues when the technician came. This time the technician came, he said the igniter was real faint, so he replaced that, and we haven't had an issue yet. Then the heater hasn’t been on that much because the weather has been warm here.

    The warranty has saved me money but it's extremely frustrating sometimes. If you can get on the phone to submit a claim, that's better than doing it online. On the phone, you could do several electrical things but online, you don't have the option. I had three electrical issues with the lights and an outlet and Ideal Electric came out. It took three trips to get the issues fixed. The first and third time, it was the same tech and he was really great. But the second one that came out just came out and told me a light bulb was loose. That was all it was and he left but that's not what was wrong. I have another claim and we’re having major issues with Plumb Genius, the contractor. They're awful and had to go through escalation.

I told him what was going on and I told him what I tried doing to see if it was working. He went through some test measures on his machine, and then he determined it was the burner itself, and then the actual circuit unit, on that side that wasn't operating correctly.

    Opened a claim for dishwasher $100 extra for claim over 2 months ago. 1st company did try to fix and changed out pumps and circuit board. Dishwasher not fixed and AHS wanted a second opinion. They assigned a contractor and said they would contact me within the next business day. After a week and a half of me leaving messages and calling AHS they stated they will assign a third company. Well same thing happens again with third company. AHS calling and myself call myself to both AHS and 3rd company. No response and they finally indicate they are off for the holidays (DEC 1st). AHS wants to assign a fourth company and indicate “Again”they will escalade to a manager. Manager never calls.

    In the meantime monthly billing continues (close to $100/ month). They state no refund can be issued and if I cancel they will not cover nor try to continue to assign 4th contractor. Just imagine the service they will provide close to Dec holidays. Please do the math: monthly premiums, plus extra $100, and time off would pay for new appliance which automatically comes with its own warranty from the manufacture. At no time did AHS offer to help with any cost to replace nor offered to replace. **Their is a service charge to cancel also (1 months premium). What company is borderline SCAM?

    I had a problem with my water dispenser. I filed a request through Home Shield and the technician called me. I knew the technician from before. He had come to my house twice. He came out and the first thing I did not care for was he said that the fan had separated and he didn't know how that happened. Then, he said he was gonna have to patch it up. He did something and he said that should do it. I tried the water dispenser and it started working so he left. But about a day and a half later, I noticed that my freezer was not working and I had water coming down. I called him and told him what was happening. He said I have to put a ticket with Home Shield and they would do a recall. I did that and the tech said he couldn't come over until today.

    In the interim, I found out that my refrigerator was out too. That was on Friday and I contacted Home Shield. I told the agent it was an emergency and that all my food was spoiling. She put me on hold and she tried calling the technician. She then came back online and said that the tech was not answering. Yesterday and Saturday, I proceeded to throw out more than $400 worth of food. It was very disappointing and expensive. I've never had an issue with AHS and this can't happen to me again.

    We had a dishwasher issue. There were two technicians that have been to the house. The first one who checked it said there was nothing wrong with it. And then within later on that day, we had a problem with it again. So I called again directly to AHS 'cause I was told, within 30 days, they should be able to repair it without having to pay another service fee. They were like, “Yeah, that's correct.”

    Then they had somebody else come back out and look at it. He mounted it to the frame and did really, really good. The guy who did it the first time came back out the last time and I ended up having to mount it back to the framework to the house.

    My first experience was wonderful. My sink started leaking. It happened during the holiday and it took that time for it to get bad. So every couple of hours, I had to go home, take a break from my job. I had to turn the water off and just pray. And things we do in the country, we put pots, pans and towels. Because I just got through having a major water leak with my faucet outside. I'm surprised American Home Shield hasn’t complained about me because I’ve whined during the holidays. And I know they're not 24-hour service. I have been calling them like a baby to find somebody. I knew it would take some time during the holidays. I'm glad they told me I could find a contractor. The gentleman is coming today.

    What people don't understand, when it happens on holidays, people here would charge double. Because I paid the $100 fee and I understand that. But if it happens on a holiday, everything is shut down. No one will come out because they charge double or triple the price if they did for 24 hours. For it to be feasible for me, if I'm paying $100 to AHS and I had an emergency and I knew somebody who could come out and with him being licensed, he would charge me at least $300 for 24 hours of service. That wouldn't be feasible for someone during the holidays. I wish AHS had that resource available if they’re in our area. Or somewhere close that could come out.

    A lot of times around here we go with people who we know. But if we don't know anybody, we just go online. With the Sears gentleman, he was a prayers answered because he was able to get me the next day. He explained things to me. I'm a woman but I would like to know what is going on and what are my options. And sometimes in certain areas, you get this, “Oh, go find your man,” or "Go do this." So, it was empowering.

    When you buy a house or when you're first starting with this, even though you have house insurance, you might want to see if AHS could benefit you. Because by having an older home, I wish I knew about it a lot earlier. My air conditioning went out and it was during the summer. I put it on my light bill, and did find someone do it. But it wasn't a great experience. And I paid close to $10,000.

    When I would drain my sink and run my garbage disposal, the water backed up to the other side of the sink. I've never had a home do that, so I thought I had an issue. I called the home warranty and it always seems to be two to three days before you get any service. A plumber came, checked the outside and said it wasn't clogged. It was money spent needlessly. The last time, my thermostat went out. The company American Home Shield called came from Chatsworth. That's a good 80 to 90 miles away from where I live and the guy didn't even put in the thermostat right. I had to call and complain. I have a client who's an AC guy and he came over. I had to go buy a new one and he put the new one in for me. Again, it was wasted money for a service that I wasn't satisfied.

    I wanted to have my heater checked for the winter and American Home Shield told me I had to sign some kind of terms and conditions. I couldn't understand that ‘cause I've never done that before. I'm not asking for a new heater or a new air conditioner. Mine works just fine. I just wanted it looked at. To me, they were trying to cover themselves so they don't have to do any issue if it needed work. It seems like they're taking care of less and less so I'm looking for another home warranty. For $75, I can call a local heating and air conditioning guy, and they can come and take a look at it. But what am I paying the service for? I've had the service for a little over five years now, and I can count the times that I’ve used them. I didn't really appreciate that. A lot of their problems, too, is everything's overseas. You can't even talk to a person you can understand.

    I'm very dissatisfied. I have a broken refrigerator and spoiled food. I'm looking at a 14-day time window before a technician comes out to service it. That is unacceptable. AHS is supposed to call back Friday when I reported the problem of scheduling delay. The customer service representative I spoke to then said, "We're going to get another contractor identified and I'll be calling you back." He did not. Monday, I called, explained the concern that no one had called back and that the ongoing situation with the delay in servicing the appliance. They said that she was going to work on it and she would get back to me by the end of the day or first thing today. But I haven't heard anything. I'm getting lip service.

    I had another claim. R Harris A/C & Heating came out and jiggled the wire, but that was insufficient. As soon as he left, it stopped operating again. I reported the issue again and they came back out. As I suspected, he needed to replace the electronic control board that controls the ignition for the burner and the blower. Now it's working fine. It took two visits. He was respectful and polite.

    Our dishwasher was not cleaning and heating up and this was the third time we've had to have someone come out within a month or two. The other guys told me that I have to put soap in it. I mean, come on, I'm not that stupid. Beyer Appliance was the only company that would even really look at it. Their tech took it apart and said that it was not heating, it was really not working. He got a new board for it and it's been working. I asked him what if this continues with my dishwasher. I would not dish out $100 every time if it's not being fixed. I was looking in my contract and it was not clear if something were to happen on replacing an appliance or something that's covered. I want to be prepared. He said that American Home Shield would not give me a new dishwasher.

    They've been good so far with the servicing and scheduling. The only thing is some of the people that have come out, I would never send them out again, and I've let AHS know about it.

    The regulator that turned my furnace on would click then click off. So, the pilot light wouldn't ignite. Filing a claim with American Home Shield was easy. But people were backed up so we had to wait a little while for somebody to come out. Also, a lot of times we've had people come out and they come out a second time to have to order the part. But the tech did everything and got it all right the first time. He had the parts. He came out, fixed it.

    We have a big house. If I had a smaller house with less electrical and air handling units, I would not have this kind of purchase. But we have a swimming pool and several furnaces. You have to do your homework and break down how old your house is, how old the appliances are, the under warranty already. For me, it's peace of mind. So, whatever we pay a year doesn't go too far when something does break down. It seems like things happen to break.

    I've had American Home Shield for years. I've had it since 2009. They still end up holding up to the contract and doing what the contract requires of them. The only complaint I would have with them since they have started taking the service fee out of our account and I have to go ahead and pay the service fee when I file the claim. I don't have a problem paying the service fee. But how can the fee come out before somebody scheduled, before I even have an appointment for them. They just assigned the contractor. But I haven't even talked to the contractor to get an appointment.

    This last time, I filed the claim the first week of October, the $75 service fee came out two days later. And the contractor didn't get here to even initially check on my refrigerator until a month later. Last week, they ordered parts when they came out and took another month for them to come out. Then they came out, determined that the parts were not needed, that the appliance cannot be fixed. So I went two and a half months without a refrigerator. They gave me an electronic gift card so I went ahead and got the refrigerator. It was delivered Saturday. But the service fee was taken out before I even spoke to the contractor to set up an appointment. They came out two days after I filed the claim. And the contractor hasn't even contacted me for an appointment. Other than that, I like American Home Shield. That's the only problem I have. I enjoy when I reviewed the coverage from some other warranties, they do cover more.

    Filing a claim with American Home Shield was difficult at first because you couldn't talk to anybody. You have to do it all online. I’m computer-savvy, but a lot of people aren't and that’s an issue, getting an appointment and getting the right people out to do the job. American Home Shield needs to have some way where their customers can talk to a person instead of having to go online, put their claim in and pay upfront. The process is not as well as it was when we first started several years ago. Recently, I've been trying to get a plumber to come do the service. Their line is either not answering or they say to leave a message then they hang up so I'm gonna go elsewhere. I'm not gonna use American Home Shield's plumber ‘cause if they can’t answer their phone and set up an appointment, then I don't trust them.

    I had a plumber come out because I had a line that was squirting water everywhere. The oven broke and I also had an electrical issue and the breakers went out. I called American Home Shield and they responded right away. Several people came out. The only problem I had was getting the plumber here. We set it up for him to show up and he never did. I kept calling but he wouldn't answer until I finally got ahold of AHS. He started answering and finally came out. I've had some problems with the electrical but this is an old house and that whole electrical box needs to be replaced.

    I had running toilets and it looked like there might have been a leak in the pipe because there was some bubbling on the wall so we thought there might be mold back there. My wife did a claim to American Home Shield online. The turnaround time was awesome. It would have been faster, but we input it during Thanksgiving and then we went out of town. When we came back, the techs were scheduled that Monday. They fixed the running toilets. Our upstairs toilet is still running, so we called them back today to see if they could come back out and check it out. Where the bubbling was in the wall, the tech checked it out and he had to open up the wall a little bit to find the leak, and he fixed that. The actual drywall guy is here right now and doing a repair on the wall.

    I turned on my air unit and it wasn't getting hot. I called American Home Shield to set up the appointment and let them know the problem that I had. They sent a technician from Tri's A/C and Heating to come fix it but he couldn’t. He had to order a part. Within a week, the part must have come out and they called to check on the status. The guy called and said the part did come in and he would come out that next day. The guy came out and fixed it.

    I called to verify that the part was covered with the warranty because I didn't want to have to pay out of my pocket. AHS said everything was taken care of. I verified with the guy before he left, with the initial part, when he said they had to order it. He said it was taken care of within the warranty. So, I already knew. Make sure that everything is covered within your warranty before AHS sends out a technician and they would go through the process. Because I had an issue where the part didn’t get fixed, that I didn't understand the warranty process. And I ended up having to pay out of my pocket with the thing that was broken during the summer.

    AHS sent out a letter to the claim and I thought, “Okay, they sent the form, said I had to find my own technician.” Because during the COVID, they couldn’t find people to come out. I got approved to find my own, but I didn’t understand the process. I thought I would send the letter back. I didn’t know I had to verify. They had another step to do before getting the person to come out. That they had to get approved before they even start the job, even though they approved you to do it. So I understood a bit more about how that worked. I wish I knew that extra step before those people would start the job. I wouldn’t end up having to pay them myself. But overall, AHS has been excellent to me.

    I put in a repair for both my washer and dryer at the same time. American Home Shield sent out two different companies. One was a good company and I was hoping they would send out the same company because I got charged $75 for my washer and $75 for my dryer. The repair for the dryer went well but with the washing machine, the repairman completely destroyed it. It started out as a little leak but now, the washing machine has a huge leak and it's flooding my entire laundry room floor. The repairman fixed the dial that was sticking a little bit and now it will not go to all the different settings on my washing machine.

    I need to use my washing machine daily and I had to threaten the repair company with phoning every half an hour this morning. They would not get back to me until I said I was contacting American Home Shield and lodging a complaint. They finally got back to me and said they were trying to get hold of a technician. It's a complete disaster.

    With the contractors I've had with this home warranty, I've almost always had to call another company out to fix what they've done. The same thing happened with my water heater. I had to call out a different plumbing company to fix the parts that the initial contractor used. American Home Shield needs better quality contractors. They're paying their contractors such a small amount that they're using inferior products.

    Some things are really good, and it goes well. We had a septic thing and our refrigerator were repaired with no problem. We just had an experience a week ago that our clothes washer took a dive on us and that was flawless. The guy came to look at it, it was irreparable, and they submitted the thing. American Home Shield called us and submitted a thing for us to pick out a new washer, and it's almost coming to our house. So that was easy. But other things are a battle.

    It was most of this past summer that we had no air conditioning unit and AHS refused to replace it. They sent people over to fix it, but the problem was beyond repair. We had to fully dig and fight to get the air conditioner replaced. It was at the end of the summer by the time we got our answer. The unit got replaced, but it was a battle to get that done. We were not happy. And there were a few other issues where we had some other stuff that we called and the tech didn't show up.

    The technician from AC Blue Air Heating looked over the AC unit and said that there were several things wrong with it and that he was going to write up an estimate, recommending replacing the unit. He submitted it to AHS and then I got an email message to call them, that they had to discuss the claim. I called AHS and they said, “There was something that wasn't put back properly. So, we can't replace the unit because of that.” I said, “What?” It didn’t make any sense because the unit wasn’t working properly and it didn't really have anything to do with something not being put back properly.

    I said, “I want to see in writing what he had told you because that’s not what he told us. I wanted proof that there was an issue that wasn't related to replacing it. I also want a second opinion then.” I never got anything in writing. AC Blue didn’t call me back. Our claim was denied. Also, every time I make a claim to have a technician come out and check what's supposed to be under warranty, they charge us $75. So I have to pay another $75 to get the other contractor out for a second opinion. I'm a little skeptical of AHS now. Because it was sketchy that I had to call them after the technician was there.

    American Home Shield has been useful so far. Our dryer stopped heating. The heating element was busted. So, I put in a request online. I got somebody to call me back the day of, and then they came the next day. So, it was a pretty fast resolution. The technician was a nice guy. He got the job done pretty quickly, which is really all that I care about.

    We pay American Home Shield money every month, but we have peace of mind that if something major breaks, it's not going to be a huge chunk of change all at once. But even though my recent interactions or impression of it are great, I did have one instance, a little while ago, that wasn't great. It didn't have to do with Home Shield necessarily, but it did have to do with the company that they contacted to do the fix. They weren't very good. It took a long time.

    My local service provider comes out twice a year for my heater and air conditioner. When their guy looked at my unit, he said there was an issue with the motor for the blower motor. Nobody would be open until Monday and it was an expensive fix. I filled out the form online with American Home Shield and almost immediately, they sent me out Value Heating and they gave me the phone number. I called Value Heating before they had a chance to call me. Their guy came out that day and he ​was very knowledgeable about my Carrier furnace.

He said to give it until Monday then he would check in with me. He told me how to watch the unit, what to look for, and what the different codes were.

    I watched it over the long weekend. It worked fine up until early Sunday morning then it broke again. The motor by that time was wheezing and doing all kinds of stuff. The Value guy brought out the motor with him on Monday, replaced it, and fixed it. I liked him so much that I'm gonna quit my other service and go with him. So far, American Home Shield has really helped me a lot in the last three years since I've been in my home. I got the home warranty because my brother-in-law had them for years and he swore by them.

He replaced a part, but I think the part may have gone out again. Sometimes, I have a little problem with American Home Shield's claims process. It depends on the time of the day when I call. You can either call somebody or you can type in the problem online but I always would rather talk to someone on the phone. It seems like when I've done that, I've had less problems.

    Generally, the contractors get back in touch with me the same day but it depends on what the circumstances are and what the appliance is. A little quicker service would help. Air conditioners always go out on a Saturday evening and you can't do anything about that. Other than that, I've been pretty pleased with American Home Shield.

    My hot water tank went out and Home Shield was quick to respond. They replaced the tank with a new one. The plumbers came quickly but they had to wait on Home Shield because they supply the materials. We gave them the size of the tank and they sent us one that was way too big to fit in our area. We gave them the size again and they sent one that was the same gallon but the size of the tank was bigger. We had to do some stuff to get it to fit in our area because we didn't wanna wait again for another one. When I run my hot water, I can smell something from the water which was really strange because my other tank didn't do that. Also, it doesn't seem like the water pressure is that good. Other than that, it's been fine.

    I had a few other things done through Home Shield and everything always went well. In the case of my hot water heater, it was just an ordering problem.

    The service came out quickly. I put the claims out Thursday and Friday and they came out that Monday. All but one. A person still hasn't shown up. It's a local repair shop here in my town and they are taking their time. Because by the time my two people were finished, the person that was scheduled decided to call me at the last minute. Other than that, I'm very impressed with the timing and the people that American Home Shield sends out.

    The wire that pulls the garage back up on the right side what they call bird nested. So, it got tangled. The guy did a good job putting the garage door back on track and making sure that the door was balanced. My water heater was also serviced. The tech said it was not the worst of a kind, but he said that it almost needed to be changed out. Then the same person changed out my garbage disposal. I thought there was a loose screw inside and it turned out the seal went bad. So, he replaced the garbage disposal.

    American Home Shield is great. They assign someone to come out and fix stuff when it's broken and that's what we got them for. The tech from Fast Response was awesome. He's been here before. He was professional and fixed the problem quickly. However, I've had to argue with American Home Shield quite a bit in the past. The first thing they do is go in and put in the least expensive thing they can that meets the criteria. I had an oven that went out. It was a $3,500 oven and American Home Shield was wanting to replace it with a $1,200 oven. It was a JennAir oven that had a fan in the top and not in the bottom. American Home Shield found one with a fan in the top, not in the bottom and felt like they were done. But again, there's a difference in a JennAir or a Thermador and a Maytag and American Home Shield doesn't seem to account for that.

    My second refrigerator, which is located in the garage was not cooling. I put in the call and I got an immediate response. The technician was timely and professional. I had reset the circuit breaker and plugged the refrigerator, unplugged it, plugged it back in, until the refrigerator started cooling on its own. So there was no need for him to do any technical work on it. But he explained to me that because I had it on GFI, that was not a very wise thing for me to have it on the GFI. Because they have a tendency to trip more often. I was very pleased with the service, the quick response, and the professionalism of the gentleman that came out.

    I've been with AHS for a long time and I’ve always got great service. However, they should improve their literature, as far as what's covered and what's not, if that could be a little bit clearer for the average person to look over. Sometimes, it’s very difficult to break it down as far as the coverage that you're going to receive. But I'm very happy with AHS. I sold real estate for years back in Virginia and AHS was something that I recommended to any homebuyer as well. They're the best thing in the world to have, especially the first year, you don't know if the systems are gonna work a little differently, considering how a new owner is going to be using them. I definitely would recommend AHS.

    When the heat pump was not nice, American Home Shield quickly responded back. The only thing is maybe I could get a live agent a little faster when I call, but it's super easy to do the claim online. The contractor addressed the issue immediately.

    We use AHS three times a year. We had a hot water leak so we had to have the whole unit replaced and the plumber told me that without AHS, it would be $1,200. Instead, it was 75. That's the biggest thing we've used them for. Most of our things are little like replacing a ceiling fan light kit. I don't know if that's worth $75 but we couldn't do it ourselves.

    We've been disappointed a couple of times like when the garage door broke on our rent house. When I turned in the service request, it would have been nice if AHS reminded people, “Hey, now, the warranty doesn't cover garage doors. Just the openers.” So the guy that came through them wanted to replace the entire door and I thought that was ridiculous. It only needs one little piece. So I said, “Is it okay if you go ahead and leave?” He said, “Well, yeah. Because I'd have to bring the door back anyway. So no biggie if you want to call somebody else.” So I called the local company and it cost me $127 pus the $75 for AHS. The fine print things have been aggravating but still, 200 bucks is a lot better than an $800 new garage door.

    Also, our air conditioner had a problem but it was the lines inside the house. So, that was not covered. If I read the fine print, I wouldn't have bothered American Home Shield. We called a local company and got it fixed and paid for it. It was $900. Anytime you have an older home it's smart to have a home warranty. It is nice to be able to call or get on your phone or get on your laptop the minute you have a problem. Usually, within a couple of days, it's fixed. AHS gets somebody out pretty quickly. I'm pretty satisfied.

    The first time American Home Shield sent a guy out, I wasn't very pleased with it. He did his job. He came in, he unplugged the drains, and he was supposed to change a faucet, but he just did it halfway. He didn't have all his equipment. It's not a big thing. It doesn't affect the job at all. It's just instead of taking the full hour that it would have took to finish it, it just took 30 minutes. He just changed half of it. The second time, the guy who came was very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. He tried his best to do one of the furnaces. He almost got it working but then we realized that it was going out because we need to change a part inside, and he said, “You know, we can get it working but it may not be safe.” I said, “Well, we don't have the part. Let's not do it.” I want it to be safe to use it. He went beyond his 100%.

    My water heater broke. They called me the next day and they sent somebody out immediately, which was very good. The thing was, he had to go back and order it and bring it back the next day. Then the guy came out and disconnected everything. But then, he realized the one they brought out wasn't the right one. It was too big for the little hole.

    They came back early the next morning at 8:00 with the hot water heater. He was able to put it in. My problem was I had to pay for the permit, which was 135. I had to pay to unhook the water heater and that was free. But the soft water conditioner was next to it. I had to pay to unhook that as well as rehook it and they put everything back in there. It cost me $385. But he was very polite and nice. He was an older man. I would definitely use them again even if I had to call them and pay for them on my own because they were really considerate and helpful.

    I've been using AHS for about 10 years now. I've had some good luck with them and I've had some bad luck. One time, my trash compactor broke. They tried to fix it. Finally, they couldn't find technicians to fix it and they paid me out, which was a fair reasonable price. I was impressed by that. One time, I had a microwave that was built in and it just went kapooey after so many years, and they paid me out.

    They offered me an upgrade, if I wanted to pay it or to get what I had, and they helped me a lot. They were very nice about it. That was good, too. They honor what they say they're going to do. They pay for it. But I had a shower problem, which they never fixed. The plumbers couldn't fix it no matter what they did. They kept stripping out the handles. It was a $15,000 shower and they couldn't figure out how to fix it. Finally, my plumber down the street came over, put a little oil on it, and it worked. I've had some good problems, some bad problems. But, I can get right through to AHS and they call me back immediately. If I have a problem, they are there and I like that.

    Typically, AHS's techs come in three to four business days. The one who came for my washing machine and my dryer was great. I brag about the home warranty all the time. For me, there are two big benefits and one of them is cash flow. Home repairs can be hundreds or thousands of dollars. You’re scared to call the people and find out what you're in for. This takes all of that stress away.

    The other thing is that my warranty company has relationships with all different technicians and companies. So I'm not the consumer or trying to search the internet for the best tech around who's going to come into my house.

    I was cooking one day, and I heard a loud pop on my stove when the oven was preheating, and when I was also using the stovetop simultaneously. Immediately after the pop, a large amount of smoke poured out from under the console center. The contractor called me back the next day after I phone AHS and they came a week after my stove broke. That was pretty good.

    The techs did a very good job. They were able to move my stove out from the wall and immediately identified the problem, a blown power cord and blocked terminal. It was a very basic procedure. The tech had the part but the issue was the wrong power blocking core terminal when he came back for the next visit. He said the electrical prongs were close. They looked very similar, but they did not match. He realized 15 minutes right before he tried to plug it in. So he took the old, damaged one and he came back about a week later and repaired it. So far, it has worked fine. He was very polite and very quick. He keeps it less than half an hour every time. So, I’m amazed. He called me when he was 45 minutes out both times, so I had plenty of time to get ready.

    I'm good with the service I get from American Home Shield where I live but not with the service that I get in my second home in Florida where my parents live. Recently, we've had our faucet replaced and prior to that, we had our garbage disposal replaced. AHS has taken care of our garage door as well as our washing machine, and we've had them for a long time. When we lived in Florida at our other home in Cape Coral, they replaced our air conditioning unit outside. So, we've had lots of work through them. When you're there, it's great. But when you're not, it's not so great.

    The only time I was extremely upset with AHS was with the faucet they just replaced here. It was busted. I set up an appointment Sunday evening when it broke and we couldn't get anyone to come out until after Thanksgiving. So, we had to be with no running water in our kitchen for Thanksgiving. It's hard when you're speaking to people who are in a third-world country. He handed me four other locations and said that I could call them and see if they were available. I was thinking why I was doing his job. It was what I was paying them for. But he refused to do it. So, I had to sit down and call out all these different places to see if we could get someone sooner. I told my husband that maybe it was time we start looking for someone new that does it because we've been with AHS so long and it seems like it's getting harder and harder sometimes.

    There were some electrical plugs that weren’t working and the electrician that AHS sent out was great. We're in a new home and their service has been really much better this last year. In our prior home, we had a nightmare with a washer and dryer claim. So if it's something that is a bigger item, it's kind of a pain. But if it's something that they can fix timely, it's a lot easier. They should also improve their process in making a decision that we could move forward with getting a new item. They tried to repair a 20-year-old washer and dryer and so we were pretty much out of a washer and dryer for six weeks until they decided that we could get a new one. The same thing happened with our microwave.

    The garage motor went dead. I had a LiftMaster. But I didn't get a LiftMaster when the contractor did the work. I got a regular garage door opener that AHS covered. So I had to spend extra money because LiftMaster had both lights on each side. I had to buy a motion detection to put it in my garage. So when I step out, it'll be totally dark. AHS should match what you already had. But everything else was pretty much self-explanatory.

    The water in my sink kept shutting off and nothing was coming out. American Home Sheild assigned Circa to me and it seemed to take forever for them to come out. They do not open on the weekends or late nights and they don't do emergency calls. They only open at 9:00 then close at 5:00. American Home Shield said they were getting the message over to Circa but those guys never showed up. I went to Home Depot, found the tubes, opened up the clogged piece on the sink, and did the work myself. I changed out the screen and the sink hasn’t clogged back up since. The process was good with American Home Shield until this recent incident.

    In every interaction that we've had with AHS, they're very consistent as far as their time management. One service never takes longer than the other. They're always very quick to reach out to someone and have someone call me immediately. I'm assuming they have lots of clients, so it's a little surprising how quick they are. My most recent claim was when the garbage disposal went out and the assigned vendor called me a couple of hours after I submitted a claim. The tech took 35 minutes to do the repair and called the next day to see how everything was going. I really liked that.

    On the garage door, American Home Shield's service was great. The garage doors are working perfectly, and I was able to get them both replaced. The other issue with the plumbing turned out not to be the plumbing. It's with the appliance. So, the plumber said that they were going to contact American Home Shield, and that they would get an appliance repairman to come out and repair our dishwasher. The plumber was extremely professional and nice, and he did what he could. He doesn't do appliance repairs, though. So, I'm just waiting for American Home Shield to get back with me on the dishwasher repair.

The tech tried to order a part and he couldn’t find it. So, he went back to American Home Shield to see if they could research and find it. Other than that, I have gotten good service from AHS.

    I've had American Home Shield for several years and they have always worked out well for me. I've had my AC fixed a few times before I replaced them, and I ended up replacing them and they helped me with that. I have also had the garbage disposal and my refrigerator fixed. A washer at one point. I just had to call them for my heating unit and opened a service request. The fact that they follow up to make sure everything is happening, from a consumer standpoint, that's wonderful. Normally, you have a conversation with somebody then they're gone.

    AHS has called me a couple of times. And when I call them and things haven't happened the way they were supposed to, they tell me what I need to do and I got myself service and they call back again to verify that everything happened. The tech was great as well. He came in, did what he was supposed to do, told me what was going on and what happened and got me all fixed up. I would recommend AHS.

    The light in the microwave wasn't coming on. When we would close the door, we would hit the button. It kept saying the door wasn’t closing. I submitted a claim to AHS that weekend and they assigned me a technician who then came out on Monday. I'm paying American Home Shield every month, so if it was something major, I pay my deductible and I don't have to worry about it. If I didn't have this, I'd probably come out of my pocket a pretty chunk of change to get a new microwave. I like the convenience, too, of having it. Every time I called them and said, “I need this,” they’re there. In one of the houses I own, the dishwasher went out. I called and they couldn’t fix it, so they replaced it.

    We have a two-side door refrigerator and the refrigerator part was not cooling. Once the order was submitted, someone from 1st Choice contacted me. Then, their tech also contacted me and did a virtual consultation where I was able to hold up my phone and he was able to view the inside of my refrigerator. He was very knowledgeable of the model and the make of my refrigerator so he knew right away what the issue was. He came out the day before Thanksgiving and he kept me informed. I know he was very busy and to me, it was beyond what a regular repair person would do. I'm very happy with 1st Choice.

    But with the repair company that American Home Shield sent out for the same issue back in March, I was not very happy with their service. I was frustrated. Our refrigerator went out about the same time we had that deep freeze here in Texas and lots of people were out of electricity. I'm sure that American Home Shield was overloaded with claims but I was very frustrated through that whole process of trying to get them to help me. They kept putting it back on the repairman. Other than that, I've been with American Home Shield for five years and usually, they're pretty prompt. If I call in, they address my questions. It's just within the last year, trying to get a timely response back from them has not been very good.

    American Home Shield really saved us during the first year after we bought our house. If something's gonna break, a lot of times, it's that first year and the warranty helped us. Also, not only do they get someone out here, if they get someone and that company doesn't do a good job, AHS will send someone else out and they will make sure that they ensure the work. That means a lot.

    I especially like the fact that AHS offers the premium service that they offer. They replaced our entire HVAC system, which we wouldn't have been able to afford. I'm extremely grateful for the service. Recently, H&S Floors & Furnishing came out and they were great. It took a couple of days for them to come out because it was near a holiday but they came out. The tech fixed everything. He had to get a part and he came back the next day and the work was completed.

    It's been a hard year and a half with American Home Shield. I noticed during the pandemic that it took me almost a month to get a water heater replaced and my tenants didn't have hot water for a month. The tech that AHS sent out seemed like he was more concerned with trying to get the water heater replaced so that he could get the full job and pay for the 1,500 than trying to resolve the issue. It was the gas valve that needed to be replaced, so I had to pay another contractor after he left because his recommendation was to replace it, but the water heater was only a year old. And he said it was a refurbished water heater, but it's not. I had a receipt from Menards from a year and a half ago. And on a sticker, it showed it was manufactured June of 2020 and that we purchased it July of 2020.

    Then, I was supposed to get $413 back and I've called at least four times. AHS said they were going to put it in the mail. Then, I had some issues with the water heater once it was replaced but they told the contractor that they couldn't help me with the issue because I received the cash-out payment. But I still haven't received that check. Right now, my tenants are still without hot water and it's been three weeks.

    Aside from that, I've been paying all these $100 fees for AHS to send technicians and they tell me that this isn't covered, that's not covered, this and that. So, I've been out of more money with paying the $100 fees for contractors to come out than if I would've just paid for contractors straight out without the warranty. Anyone thinking about going with AHS should understand what's covered and not covered because there's a lot of stuff that's not covered. When the air conditioner was the issue, before the techs even came out, they were saying that if it was a Freon issue, I had to pay this and I had to pay that.

    Then I ended up having to pay an independent contractor and it wasn't a Freon issue, it was a capacitor. But I had already paid the other contractor because the stuff wasn't covered. So, I felt like I've been going in circles with all of their clauses, making it difficult to get things done because, as a consumer, how do you know what all these clauses where stuff isn't covered and then you have to pay the $100 fee for people to come out to tell you that? But then, you still have to pay another contractor in addition to you paying the fee and in addition to you paying for the service call.

    Dealing with AHS was also a nightmare for me during the pandemic. I would hold on the phone for an hour or 45 minutes back then and I was calling from overseas. So, it was an international thing. Then I was transferred and I was hung up on. Things have gotten better recently with getting through, but it seems like it's always another department that you have to be transferred to or they have to escalate it to someone else and get back to you. But things aren't resolved on the first call.

    I've had to call for the same issue three times. I've had the same problem three times in the last two years. I’m optimistic that it will be resolved this time because they did send out Lone Star Contracting out. Before that, they were sending a company out that was at least an hour away so they would have to get it scheduled, drive all the way down here, then all the way back, when there’s plenty of contractors in my city.

I wish it was something else put in place that can handle issues like I'm going through this week. But other than that, whenever I talk to someone, the customer service is good.

    My oven wasn't working and a technician finally fixed it. He came out pretty quickly, but it took them a long time to get the part because they said it was stuck on the port.
