My toilet was leaking super bad. It sounded almost like a sink running. It was really bad. So I called American Home Shield. The techs came out, and they changed something out, and it worked. That night, my daughter came home from work,and she was, "Mom, the toilet is leaking again." The techs came out a second time and they changed another piece. They said, “That should be fine.” They were all really nice.
Thank you for sharing your recent experience with us. We are happy that we were able to get the issue resolved for you. Our goal is to pair you with the best contractor that is knowledgeable and able to explain what is going on. We look forward to our continued business together. Have a good day.

I cannot curtail the daily flow of email from this two-bit company. Two of the "unsubscribe" links redirect me to another AHS offer site. The third opportunity to "unsubscribe" does not process because my McAfee Security will not connect me to what is considered a "Malicious Server". AHS Customer Service cannot help me and the Chat Line does not function. Additionally, the "clever" sending party variable addressing in the emails prevents me from blocking or responding with an "unsubscribe" reply. Other than that, I am sure these are lovely people. My next step is to contact the CEO.

American Home Shield is the warranty company for my home. I called them for repairs/replacement on my water heater. They sent out a contractor who was not licensed in my county to do work and would not send anyone else. The work required a permit which the company did not get and when they installed my water heater I was left with a carbon monoxide leak that I had to pay another licensed contractor to fix. When I requested a repair for my furnace that had a faulty pump on the exhaust line they denied the claim even after showing them that a licensed HVAC repairman had deemed the unit unsafe. Both times I have had to pay out of pocket for Licensed Contractor to make repairs. There no reason to have a home warranty if they won't even pay for basic safety.

Some ring on my washing machine was not working. Repair people came out and they did a fantastic job. They found out what the problem was and said it was going to take a week to get it in. Two days later, their repair person was able to fix it during a snowstorm. We also had an air conditioning thing. Every person that was sent out for our air conditioning unit was horrible. But Sirius was the best and they were amazing. Their person fixed the air conditioning unit. American Home Shield should keep using Sirius because they get the job done. I also don't have to call back 50 million times. You don't want to keep calling back for the same problem.
Thanks for letting us know everything worked out great for you. Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with the work done. We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Enjoy your day.

I signed up for American Home Shield because my sister told me that she had had it, and I said, “Gosh, is it worth our while?” And she said, “Well, I really think it is. You ought to check into it.” When I checked into it, I just went ahead and signed up for it. I thought, “Well, it is a pretty good deal.” We’ve been without heat for the week. AHS got somebody out here. The gentleman that they got was from a different town. He did an awesome job and he was a nice gentleman. But he replaced the part and he left our whole thing open, stating that we might have to have a furnace replacement. He told the company, “They'll probably need a new furnace.” He explained it to us. Something was going on with the furnace and it will probably blow down.
We waited another week, put numerous calls into the company to find out what the update was. But he couldn’t come back out because he was so busy. Our furnace then went out again and it has been six days that we've been without heat again. I talked to somebody again today and I said, “What is going on, guys? Come on! Does it really take this long?” And she said, “Well, they've been out looking for a company that could come and do some work on your furnace or check it out.”
I called back AHS again today and the rep said, “We finally found a company.” It was funny because this company that they told me they would hook us up for is from the same company that is right here in town. I started chuckling and said, “Oh, my goodness! That company’s right here in town. How come you didn't start off with them?” Because the first guy was from out of town and these people were in town. "Do you realize our heat now will be off over the weekend? And we’ve had a bit of a warm up temp here but it’s supposed to start getting cold again next week."
However, the fellow from this other company called and said, “Ma'am, we can't come up to your house because we no longer have a contract with American Home Shield.” I called AHS back again and said, “These people can't come out because they don't have a contract with you.” “Oh, okay. We'll see what we can do.” The holdup seems to be between them trying to find a company to come out to the house. When I talked to people on the phone to call in, they were very nice. You couldn't ask for nicer people. And I got different kinds of people because I called numerous times. But the ball dropped when they handed it over to these people who scout around from different companies that could come to your house.
Thanks for sharing your warranty experience. I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused you. My name is Stacy and I've emailed you as I would like to speak to you more about your claim.

My experience with AHS might have been a little long-winded but everything went well. So far, my freezer and my icemaker are working. At first, none of that was working. The serviceman who came out was awesome and very professional. He had to order the part and come back, which would have been a week later. But they didn't have a technician. It was three days that a technician was supposed to be in here and there wasn't one here. I don't know if it's on AHS or if it's on the contractor as far as the prolonged period of getting things repaired. Sometimes, I feel like it's a little prolonged and I don't like that.
The repair prior to this, which was for my furnace, was my worst experience with American Home Shield. The issue happened when they were waiting for the furnace to come in and I was calling to ask what was going on. They gave me a time when the contractor was coming out, but nobody came and when I called, nobody, again, knew anything. I understand about the pandemic and the prolonging but nobody knew anything and I felt like they were just passing me around because they kept transferring my call. I kept talking to the same person with five different names because everybody's got an accent, so I didn't like that. Then finally, when they decided to assist me, I ended up getting someone else because it was cold and I was in my home for almost three weeks with no heat. So, I ended up calling another company out to do the service, which I felt like I shouldn't have to have done, but it worked out. AHS has to be a little bit more professional and be more consistent. At least they should have called me but they didn't and they didn't let me know that nobody was coming.

We did not have any hot water on one side of our house. A service person came over and he was professional. He checked the problem. The pilot light was out so he relit it and it works now. He was great. I like having coverage for our home. We are new residents in the home and we have the home warranty at an existing home. There's peace of mind knowing that we have the warranty service when needed.

I prefer calling in when I make claims to American Home Shield and the process is fairly easy. Their IVR talks over you and it doesn't give you an opportunity to say what you're going to say or to answer them before it goes on to the next thing so sometimes, it gets a little frustrating. But it's pretty straightforward. I had a claim recently for a breaker and the tech who came was great. Even though the problem was an easy fix, he checked everything to make sure that that everything was in good order.
I also have an open claim on my washer because the part is on backorder. I've been getting a little bit of information going this way from Sears and different information from American Home Shield. I'm still waiting. But I'm sure everything will be fine in the end. They are still trying to find the part. On the whole, American Home Shield has done exactly what they said they would do and I have peace of mind.

Everything's been good with American Home Shield other than when we would have to wait for an appointment with the contractor. For our most recent claim, the garbage disposal guy just did his job and left. But I've had some techs who were very personable and who tell me what's going on.

My experience with American Home Shield has always been great. I had some work done for my air conditioning unit and my refrigerator. I also called American Home Shield for the replacement of the garbage disposal. The repair person was really nice and efficient. The work was really quick. I actually needed to do two things but I couldn't afford to. I was told that there was another plumbing issue that I'm going to have to get taken care of. The garbage disposal is fine now. I also put in a claim for my smoke detectors because my fire alarm was going off in the middle of the night. My ceilings are high and I couldn't get up there to do anything. The only thing I could do was turn them off at my circuit box. Technicians came the same day or the next day and they put in new smoke detectors.

American Home Shield has done good on everything other than my heating and air. We've been in our house for eight years and every year the air quit working during the summer and then it would start working during the winter. I work for the railroad and I travel. So, my wife and kids are at home with no air and no heat during the winter. It would take like two weeks to get somebody out and they never would fix it. I would have thought as much money as they had spent on repairs, AHS would have replaced my unit. Last year, I got fed up with dealing with them about it. I paid $8,000 out of my pocket and bought a new system myself.
Recently, we had small leaks with our faucets in the shower that has a little rubber seal on the plunger. The plumbers came and fixed that up. My AHS warranty has been beneficial and it has saved us money. I would recommend them especially to new homeowners because you never know what you may need for a house. The 500 and whatever dollars a year is worth that.

American Home Shield couldn't get anybody out for the weekend. So, lost time there. But they came out on Monday. AHS made those arrangements. United came out and a guy looked at it and said this thing is still under warranty, or “The issues you're having are still under warranty. So I'm not going to do anything. Contact LG.” I'm still waiting for this refrigerator to be even looked at by LG. They're not coming out until Monday. The technician who looked at it was knowledgeable. He went out of his way to explain what he thought to be wrong and was able to show in our owner's manual that the issue that he thought we were having was covered by the five-year warranty for parts and labor. He did good.
There is a way for me to get to the people that are supposed to be doing the rest of the assessment. But it's cumbersome and frustrating. Thank goodness, it's not the middle of the summertime in Las Vegas, and the air conditioning is out, and two weeks later, we still don't have it. We have a second refrigerator and we were able to put a lot of the stuff in there. Still, we lost a bunch of food that thawed. But at the end of the day, American Home Shield, did their part. I just wish that this was taken care of by now.

My garbage disposal was leaking water all over the place. We had great technicians and they replaced the garbage disposal. I also called American Home Shield for my furnace because it turns off by itself. Technicians came out but they couldn't fix anything because the furnace turning off wasn't happening when they were there. I have to wait for it to happen again and record it with my phone to show them what's going on. To me, that's waste because I still have the same problem.
It seems to happen only at nighttime when it's cold and the heater's trying to cool down the house. I can't really record the furnace struggling to warm up the house. They could come at nighttime when it's 50 degrees in the house and I'm trying to raise the temperature. But when it's 70 degrees outside, the furnace is not really turning on and off like that. It's something that is worth looking into. I called the home warranty today and I asked how long I had left. My 30 days are already up so I have to wait until the furnace really breaks. We'll try again when it gets worse.

I had a horrible experience with American Home Shield involving a refrigerator. Things were melting in the freezer. I called American Home Shield and it was gonna be a week before their contractor could get out. So, we lost a week. The tech said that they needed to replace the compressor in the refrigerator. They scheduled another appointment to do the work and that was another week. At that point, we were going on two weeks without a refrigerator. The tech then called me to say that they were not licensed to handle Freon in North Carolina so I had to call AHS back again.
AHS assigned another contractor and that took another week. The tech didn't have all the parts and so we went an entire month without a refrigerator. I was buying ice and putting stuff in coolers which was a nightmare. I finally got irritated with AHS and I wanted a cash-out deal. I was told that what I wanted had to go to another committee. It took another two weeks for them to come to a resolution. They sent me an email saying what they would offer and they sent the check. Even worse than that is getting information from AHS as their call center is in Egypt or Saudi Arabia. Every time I talk to their reps, I can barely understand what they are saying. They are very nice but they can never give me anything. When I asked to speak to a supervisor three weeks into my claim, I was told that the supervisors would have to call me.
The biggest problem is that AHS's call service people are not allowed to forward my calls to somebody above them to deal with it. It's almost worthwhile to just go and buy a replacement appliance myself rather than have to deal with them because they want to fix my older unit to save money. They don't want to buy a new one. The process just went on and on. I was extremely dissatisfied with that. I almost left AHS over that.
In other things, I have always had a decent relationship with them. They're very quick to take my complaint but I question the subcontractors they sign with. AHS is spending money and so they're not gonna go to a top-of-the-line person to do a lot of the work. AHS guarantees work to be done but it takes time. For my last claim, I had very nice people who came out immediately. My old heating and cooling unit was extremely loud in running. The tech replaced something which quieted it down but not as much as I thought it should have. But, he did everything he could do. He was very responsive and nice to deal with.

The claim process with American Home Shield varies each time. Sometimes, you have to wait for a good period of time before you get a call back from a repair service. If you're dealing with a refrigerator, you would want the service ASAP. You don't want it three days from now. For my refrigerator claim, the unit is still working which is good. The downside is it's the same part that has been replaced three times. I'm not happy with that. American Home Shield has a service that says repair or replace. After three times with the same problem, the whole refrigerator should have been replaced. That aside, my experience with the home warranty has been fairly good for the most part.

We've had three recent claims and they very easy to deal with. For the electric work with Beacon Hill, the guy came in my house. He automatically put me at ease with the way he spoke with me. He went over things with me. When I asked him to do things, he did it with an open heart. When we had something American Home Shield didn't cover, he explained that to me. It was something that he could cover at a later date. He told me he could not give me a quote but he reassured me that if I called his company, they could take care of all my needs and give me a quote. He was great.
We've been with American Home Shield on and off for four years. Before, it was different but in the last six months, we've had amazing service. Some guy did call me the other day when they sent the technician out and said they were reassigning me another company. That was great. Their contractors are the best companies to deal with as far as getting things approved for repair. That is very comforting for the homeowner 'cause we don't have to look forward to unsavory expenses. We pay our 75 bucks every month and we're good to go so we enjoy that.

Calling American Home Shield for a claim is a lot better. Doing it online is confusing and a little crazy. I usually call and talk to a human to set up a claim if I have to. I did one when our light started falling apart and it shortened the circuit. The techs that came were awesome. They were there for maybe 20 minutes, figured out what the problem was, fixed it, and were gone. American Home Shield is a good company. I'm going to renew my contract in the next month or so.

A dysfunctional company & department! After AHS's contractor failed to reply to multiple calls to install a new dishwasher, this Dept. then made a promise to find a suitable contractor that didn't materialize. There is no accountability because customer service representatives will not/cannot provide any identification other than their first name. After agreeing to the unsuitability and unresponsiveness of their selected contractor, and despite a specific promise to find an acceptable replacement to install the dishwasher, a week later this Dept. reassigns the SAME contractor who had failed to respond to calls, voicemails, and did not show for the requested installation date & time.
Moreover, I was told to call this Dept. first thing in the morning, that it opens at 7am EST, but it has an automated message that states you've called outside of normal business hours or a holiday, to call again later and disconnect, without stating the days & times of their normal business hours. I have not literally wasted several hours on hold waiting to speak to someone to simply get AHS's Appliance Purchasing Dept. to reassign a reliable contractor to install a dishwasher that was delivered a week ago. Incredibly poor customer service combined with an absence of accountability!

One of the issues I have with American Home Shield is the devil is in the detail. The repair was for the garage door and when I reached out to them, it said garage door. But in the detail, it was the garage door motor and a part was assigned to the motor. I had to explain and call back. The rep was telling me that the part wasn't covered. I went back and forth for days before somebody finally approved the repair to get it done. Whoever they have answering these calls should have a picture of what a motor is so they can identify what's covered and what's not covered. But the who came out was good. He went above and beyond with the level of service. It was pleasant.
I like AHS. I had them and I went to a different extended warranty and I came back to them. So they're good. The hardest part was trying to file a claim. I explained to the person that I wasn't gonna file the claim because they take your 75 bucks right away and then, you find out when the guy comes out that it’s not covered. Once we were able to confirm that it was covered, we were good to go. I'd recommend AHS but you should read the details of the contract, like anything else.

Our toilet was not stopping and we couldn't fix it ourselves. The techs installed a new system in the tank so it would flush properly. But, I think that the fee that we pay out of pocket to the repair folks on top of the annual fee is more than the service is worth. We've had American Home Shield for a long time and had repairs that took months to get resolved.
Within the last six months, we had an awful electrician company and they kept messing the job up. So, we had to get our claim reassigned. I still paid another fee even though the first contractor was so bad. We gave AHS feedback about that one electrician and said that the contractor was terrible. When we had another issue come up, AHS still assigned that same contractor. So, I told my husband, I said, “Absolutely not. They're not allowed back in our house.

My claims with American Home Shield have been fine except we had a problem trying to get our air conditioner fixed last year, and it took a tremendous amount of effort. It took my daughter, who's a Realtor, to call American Shield and talk to a representative because they scheduled an appointment for someone to come out and see what the problem was and estimate, and they never showed up. We kept calling. It was a nightmare. The reason why we got action is because my daughter uses American Home Shield with her new homebuyers. They know that they had to act now.

With our recent claim, we had to have our dryer replaced when we were down here and it was good. But last July, we had flooding in the bathroom and the service was horrible. When we called American Home Shield for service on that, we had the water going into our bedrooms. We had to wait three days and when we finally got a contractor out, they were extremely rude. They were going to leave because they said we were not paying customers. They had other customers who were paying.
We ended up paying $200 out of our pocket. The contractor broke the pipe in the wall and we had to pay for repairs out of our own pocket. Our homeowners association had to fix the wall. The contractor would never come back and do the repairs. I also paid the service call twice because the water was coming up in two of our toilets. When I called AHS, they were going to take one of our $75 service charges and they never did. It was a horrible experience. I almost canceled our protection on both of our homes that we had. I got so tired of dealing with it and I just said, "Screw it." It was the worst experience I've ever had with a home warranty service in my whole life. I got a running sink on our house at that time for vacation and we were three days without restroom service.

I saw a leakage in my ceiling around the shower area. There was some dampness there. The vendor came over in two to three weeks after I made the complaint. It turned out the leaking was not in the bathroom. It could be something in the piping that is behind the wall, not necessarily for the bathroom, but it’s just a common pipe. He went down to the garage. He cut open the wall and looked into pipes in different locations and turned out that was a showerhead problem that he resolved. And then, there was a lot of dampness in the garage as well so he looked at it. He told me that that could be because of some leakage in my roof, not necessarily with the plumbing, but it was leaking through the plumbing lines, and then dampened the walls.
I was skeptical about buying a home warranty in the first place, that's why I didn’t buy a warranty until now for my home which I've owned for the last two years. But then, based on my experience, this was the right thing to do. Buying a warranty is a very valuable thing to have for our house because issues do come up, like electrical or plumbing. It was very convenient. The only issue I have there was the wait-time. I was given a lead time of four weeks because the plumbing company was very busy. I would use this service for something that is not urgent. If there is a different response for any emergencies, that would help. Otherwise, for non-emergency situations, I love it. I would use American Home Shield again.

I went through the web portal to file a claim for a plumbing repair. One thing about the web portal is as I was describing the conditions, it didn't pick up everything. It truncated a lot of it because by the time the electrician got here, he didn't quite understand everything I needed to have done. But we talked that through and he was very knowledgeable and professional. He went above and beyond what I expected him to do. The experience was better than I expected.
I've had many experiences with claims and AHS is a good secondary insurance to have. I would recommend it to friends and I have. One claim I had was my sump pump but I'm still not quite sure where that is. My sump pump isn't working. I don't have a way of testing it with as much water as we've had. I haven't heard it kick in. When it was installed, there was a lot of water underneath the house. The new sump pump was working overtime to get rid of it. It may have burned out or was installed improperly.

I received a very good and quick resolution from AHS when my air went out. There was a secondary problem and the tech came back right away. It was a simple issue that I didn't understand. I called on a Sunday, I understood that it was under a weekend, and the tech came first thing Tuesday morning. So I couldn't ask for much more than that. He resolved the problem and he taught me a little bit more about how to manage and maintain my system. Since the service, my unit has been working greatly. This year, I was considering whether I really needed the warranty or not, and I decided that I better keep it. Then a week later, I needed it. So, when you have a residence that's not your primary and you're not around all the time, having AHS gives a peace of mind to know now that if something happens when I'm at home, I could call these folks and they're going to get it taken care of.

I had a problem with my heating system and I'm not pleased with the way it went with American Home Shield. They sent a contractor out. And when the guy got here, he told me he didn't work on the kind of system I had. But he looked at it anyway, since he was here, and then gave me an opinion. I called AHS. They said, “Well, we'll get you lined up with somebody else.” It took two days for them to do that. Now, my heating system is not working, and it's winter. The next person didn’t work on the type of system I had either. I called AHS again and said, “Can I get my own person?” And they said, “Well, you have to wait 48 or 72 hours.” I waited a few days. Nobody ever called me. I tried calling them back. They said they were still working on it.
Finally, I just had to have somebody come and fix it. It was cold, right? So then, I got it fixed. AHS called me three days after that and said, “Well, we can't find anybody to fix it, so you can get your own person.” I said I already had it done. They gave me an email address to where to send the paperwork. I emailed it to them. It has been a month, nothing. I called them up the other day to try to find out what was going on. They couldn't figure it out. And the guy said, “Well, I'm gonna have to call you back later.” The line then just went dead, and I haven't heard a word since. So, I still haven't been reimbursed. When we first bought our house last year, we had a couple of problems and AHS was fantastic. It's a different ball game now. You can't get ahold of anybody you can understand. They can't understand you. They won't help you. It's ridiculous. I want my money.

I have three sump pumps in my home and I had never heard this particular one in the garage kick on so that's when I called for help. Eric came out and he was extremely nice and very professional. He went in, opened the container for the sump pump, and said that the sump pump was gone. He went in his vehicle, got a sump pump out of there, and hooked it up. Within minutes, I saw it becoming active, and water was draining out of my garage. Now my garage is dry. I'm glad I'm with American Home Shield. They came in. I paid my $100 deductible and everything else was taken care of. As I come across people that may need help with the warranty, I have no problem referring them.

My heater was not working correctly. So I called American Home Shield and it took the contractor about five days to get out here, which is too long. The temperatures had gone down to about 28, close to freezing. Plus, it was due to the power outages here in Texas, so there was a lot of issues going on. American Home Shield should contact the customer as soon as possible when it deals with air conditioning or heating or a broken pipe. Those kind of things are very important to homeowners.

There was work done at one point and it required that they have a guy come back out to fix the hole he put in the wall. If I didn't stay on it, it would have never happened. Also, there was a problem where I have to look in my spam email for email correspondence. If I don't do that, then I won't find the follow-up sometimes. They've been very slow. They say it’s COVID. But it's been like that for about a year where it's a little bit slower. But with the most recent claim, Grade A Plumbing came out and did a good job. They were in and out. That worked seamlessly. However, I don't like it when I call up to open a claim with AHS and they make me pay for the visit upfront. But AHS has been good for me.

Something had fallen in our garbage disposal and made a lot of noise. So, there really wasn't any repair done to it. It was such a shame that it was just a small article that cost me so much to get taken care of. I wanted to get something out of it. So, I asked the plumber from Tiger Plumbing to explain to me the processes of what garbage disposal could or couldn't do and he was very helpful in explaining a little bit more about it.
The claims submission with American Home Shield is very easy. It's not cheap but that's the way it is. Every time that I've done it, it's very fast and most of the time, it's a really good service. There were a couple of experiences that I had that still linger in my mind. It was last year and wintertime was hitting and I had a really rough time trying to get my burner situated. I was pretty much arguing between American Home Shield and the electrician that had to come out. I was always running around in circles. At the same time, I was freezing because it was cold. So, that was really a bad experience and it was very frustrating. But eventually, it got fixed. Sometimes, some things just go that way and you can’t really hammer over it and frustrate over it. I'm just glad that it has turned out good in the end. Everything else has been fine after that.
The company sometimes comes through a lot better than some of these so-called professional people, which there can be a lot of different ones of those too. I’m still fighting sometimes with them and that’s another issue with somebody else. But it’s a shame that a lot of them are really good about starting it. But for some reason, they don’t wanna finish. But American Home Shield is so quick about jumping back on it.

The air conditioner stopped working about two weeks ago. The guy who came here spent almost six hours on it and he kept telling me that he had 24 or 34 years of experience. At the end of the whole thing, he said that it was all fixed but I'd see a lot of humidity because it had not been working. He then said that it’d start up on its own in the next 24 hours.
We waited for a day and nothing really happened. So we called again and the same guy came over. He said that he forgot a few things here and there and he had to fix the capacitor outside. Then he said that it was not working and should be fine. It worked for a couple of days and then it stopped again on its own. So then another guy came in today. He said that the wiring was all taken off from the heater and there were two things that were loose. He also drained the pipe and now, it should be working fine. AHS has been really good about it. But Max Air Cool could have sent a more experienced person. The one that they sent today was very experienced and he knew what he was doing.

There was water under the sink, possibly coming from the garbage disposal or the dishwasher or the faucet. There was some dripping sound in the downstairs underneath the sink and the faucet was leaking. So, some part on the faucet was leaking, traveling down the lines of the faucet, and they were just dripping under the sink. We submitted a claim with AHS then the tech came out. He said the garbage disposal looked like it was okay, so he couldn't do anything with it. It was weak, but it was working. For the dripping water downstairs, he told me it really wasn't dripping water from the sink. It was just pipes compressing and expanding and tit makes the sound that sounds like a drip.

The part did arrive this week. The service tech provided me with incorrect information. Waiting three months and the difficulty in communicating with AHS was frustrating, but happy to have the dishwasher repaired.
Original Review: Feb. 24, 2021
I opened a service request at the end of November for a dishwasher that won't run because the door latch is broken. The tech ordered a part to complete the fix. The part is on backorder from the manufacturer with no estimate of availability. I've called the tech almost weekly for 3 months for a part status update. I've also called AHS four times for an alternate resolution, possibly replacing the entire door instead of waiting on the latch. Three times they told me the only option would be a full replacement, they would submit for review, and someone from AHS would call back with details once the claim was approved or not approved. I never received a callback.
On the second and third call, they couldn't give me any information if my request had been reviewed or even sent for review. On my last call to AHS, the rep put me on hold and said they called the tech and the part would be delivered this week. I called the tech today, and they told me that they have no information on a delivery date or when the part will be available to ship.
The long hold times, unclear communication, and lack of follow-up are extremely frustrating. Falsely stating that the part would be delivered this week is inexcusable. I understand that parts can be on backorder or have shipping delays. Waiting indefinitely for a part (I'm now at 3 months) is unacceptable. I regret using AHS to complete this repair and will switch to another company when my warranty contract expires. Has there been any value with AHS? Sure...creating the service request was easy, but every step since then has been tedious and disappointing.

I've had American Home Shield for about two years now. I've loved them and had no problem with them until this particular service call. It was extremely frustrating because the whole problem occurred because the person that took the call doesn't have good command of the English language. The first person wrote down, apparently, that there were eight things wrong. It was one thing wrong. My toilet was leaking. The hoses were rotted when I first bought the house and they needed to be replaced. It caused a leak out onto the floor and into the whole part of the house.
I was trying to explain to her what had happened and why it was so urgent that they send someone right away because I had to turn off the main water line and I didn't know for sure where the water was coming from. Then, I got the notice that said my service order request had been assigned to Hers & His Plumbing and they should be calling me soon. The next day, they hadn't called me so I called them to see when they were coming. I also took the day off of work. When I reached them, the rep was very nice and said, "I'm really sorry, Dr. **, but we can't come out because you have eight things wrong and we only accept five." When I asked her what she was talking about, she explained it. She also said, "You'll have to call American Home Shield and have them cancel the order, send us another service request then we can come out."
When I called American Home Shield, the person, again, could not understand what I was saying. I know that they have to read a script in response to what you say to them, but she was so bent on getting the script right that she was not listening. I got really upset and asked her to connect me to her supervisor. She couldn't connect me to a supervisor because, apparently, they all work from home in the Philippines. She said she was going to send a message through email to a supervisor and someone would call me.
A whole 'nother day went by and there was no call from any supervisor. I've got no toilets in my house working and no running water and I have to take another day off of work. I called the following day and I got another rep in the Philippines. That young man was very nice and he said that he could see the notes in the system where the requests had been assigned for a manager to call me, and he didn't know why a manager or a supervisor hadn't called me yet. But he said he was going to escalate the request to the next level so that they could get someone out right away.
They assigned it to another plumbing company here locally, and the next day, they did come and they repair it very easily and very quickly. But there's absolutely no reason that this should have happened and I'm not sure I'm even gonna renew my contract with American Home Shield because I was so frustrated by that whole event. Given this last incident, I'm very dissatisfied. I don't care that they farm their call center out to the Philippines or Mexico or India or wherever they want to farm it out to, but the criteria should be that the people that they hire should be able to communicate enough to understand that there aren't eight broken toilets in my house. People that have eight toilets don't need a home warranty.

We were having issues with a higher voltage power and it ended up being a master circuit breaker. The tech addressed the problem, came back later in the day with a part and fixed it. American Home Shield has an app that makes it easy to submit but it can be a little generic as far as what the problem is. So, we've called a couple of times. It's been easy on the phone and I had very short wait times. The contractor has been responsive and come within the same day or the next. For people who are considering a home warranty, they should run their numbers and see what they think is going to break, and if the warranty is worth it or having emergency fund savings and having it fixed or repaired separately. Typically, I'd had warranties associated with home purchases, which is the only reason I have it.

The sewer line clogged. We had the water coming out of the metal drain out in the garage.

This is the first time I understood what they have done. Because before, I've had the icemaker. It stopped and it was clogged. The tech just came out and unclogged it so I didn't need any part. But now that I need a part, I have to pay for them to come back out. And the plumbers is charging me 200 some odd dollars. I'm gonna pay for the part.

My first service call was for the dryer and the microwave. The technician was great. He knew how to repair them. He took apart he dryer and it seemed like one of the sensors failed. So he replaced it. With the microwave, he said something with the timer and then it was making some noise. He took the panel out and he got it to work. He was very professional. He did what he needed to do. I was very happy with the service.
I signed on with American Home Shield after I got the recommendation from my sister-in-law who started using their service. I was very happy signing on. I then found out that they covered the pool, which I didn't know when I had signed on to the policy. So I called them over the weekend and spoke with a guy that told me that I need to talk to the salesperson about more information for the cost and that I was still within the 60 days to add it to the policy. I said, “Okay.” But I didn't have time at that moment so I said I was gonna call back.
On Monday, I called back and I spoke with the sales representative who told me that if I would’ve added it on here originally, then I wouldn't have paid the whole fee in one. So she went over what was covered and what wasn't covered. I told her that I have an issue with my pool heater and that the pool pump was not working. She said that the pool pump is not covered, but pool heaters are covered. I have a pool heater and it sounded like it would be covered, so maybe they could take a look in to see what can be done. I paid the service fee and the person from ABNation came out on Wednesday. He was a little rough with me. He said, “Oh, this is it. This needs to be replaced. And this is already rusted and corroded, and Home Shield’s not gonna pay to replace this.”
I was put off by his response to me and the way he came at me. He was kind of attacking me for even putting in a service call for this because it was broken. I told him that I called somebody else to see if it could be repaired and he said, “No. This can't be repaired.” He went on and on. I told him, “Listen. I didn’t call to scam anyone.” I felt like he was accusing me. He could have been a little nicer. He gave me the paper and told me that either somebody would email or call me from American Home Shield, but I haven't gotten a response yet.
I didn't know what I read on the website, and I didn't have a contract at the time, but then I saw the email that they sent me the contract after in a link. I looked into it, and it does say preexisting conditions and if things are rusted. I'm not the expert in this of whether things are covered or not covered, but I thought that the pool heater is an item that is covered and could be repaired.
ABNation emailed me yesterday, asking me about how they were guided and if I needed anything else. So I wrote them back saying that I didn't get a response yet from American Home Shield as to whether or not they were covering to replace the item. Then I went and I looked on the website where I can see that my two service calls say completed but nothing more after that. I was expecting some kind of response within 24 to 48 hours from American Home Shield. When it comes to the combo package of what they cover for the plumbing, electrical, and the appliances, it's worth the service and I've been happy so far. But I'm not so clear about this whole pool thing. I’m still waiting. I’m left in limbo right now.

The tech was also so much better than the last group that we had come in for our fridge. He knew what he was doing. He was able to get it done in a timely manner as well.

I had a bad gas initiator. When I submitted the claim, all I had to do was call and request my claim and make my deductible payment by phone. Then a day later, they called and said they were gonna send somebody out. They got on the problem really quickly. That was great. The guy came in and looked at it. He said it needed to be replaced. So he replaced that. He also said that I needed a motor and I needed to have a vent sealed. Some other guys came out and they handled that. They were very professional and knowledgeable. They explained to me and showed me what was going on so that I would know. It was a good experience. I'd tell anybody to get AHS. It's great to have, especially with this pandemic. You have to pay bills and you don't have that extra money to pay for something that breaks down. All you have to do is pay your deductible and it’s handled.

Initially, I didn't feel great about the contractor for my furnace claim, Air Dynasty. They were pushing me to buy a whole new system and they were trying to charge me $13,000. The whole time, they were trying to not go through a warranty company. They just wanted me to do it out of pocket, which didn't feel great. We got back in contact with American Home Shield and they helped us settle that. Air Dynasty completed what they were supposed to do. So far, things have been good-ish. We called for plumbing in the middle of the last week but we're not going to get an appointment until this Saturday. My problem is that AHS contracts out. Other than that, everything that American Home Shield has done has been very helpful. I've really appreciated their service.

He explained what the situation was, what he was doing and how long it'd take.

But when I called it in, they said that they couldn't pay me because I did the work before they had a chance to respond to it. I was pretty upset about it. So I moved on and left them at the time.

The refrigerator went out. We lost everything in the freezer. It made the box itself stinky and I tried cleaning that with baking soda and some other stuff but I couldn't get the smell out of it. The guys from Good Guys Home Repair said that they would recommend that it be replaced. I had to deal with sending it into somebody that's going to make a decision on how much American Home Shield is going to pay. They're going to want to pay me the amount that the Good Guys Home Repair people said it would take to fix it. They're taking Good Guys Home Repair at their word.
We bought a new refrigerator and I don't know how to handle what American Home Shield wants us to do at this time. There's something about sending in the receipt then somebody would determine how much they were going to pay. They did and it was like $500-something. This refrigerator has been repaired numerous times. We fixed the refrigerator about four times with the same situation with the freezer freezing everything on the refrigerator side and for what it took to fix it on some of the repairs, it wasn't $75.
I've been with American Home Shield in the last four homes that I have owned and for what I've paid in, I probably paid for that refrigerator and they weren't into buying me a new refrigerator so I'm not happy with them. I'm going to continue to have it on my home because it's easier for me to pay month by month to have things protected in my home but it's more aggravating sometimes to have to deal with the claim through them.
In my current home, I have a jacuzzi tub and the little impeller on it doesn't always seem to work. If you open the panel and tap it with a knife, it'll start working. A couple of times the contractor came out, I paid $75 and they fixed it. They said they got a rock out of it which is kind of normal. If you worked hard, you might have that in your hair. But that's about what they've done. I've not wanted to use American Home Shield in the past because I'm kind of tired of paying $75 for a little trivial repair that, if somebody can look at it and diagnose what it is, then it's fixed.

American Home Shield sent somebody out three times and the stoppage would go away, but then it would come back a day or two later. It has been two weeks now. The people they sent don't have a camera to put down the pipe and see what is causing the stoppage. All they do is snake it. And they said their company doesn't use cameras and that they don't have them. They do the best they can with the equipment they have. Like the last time they came, we ran the water in the house for 15 minutes and it was all still going down, but when you flush the toilet and put toilet paper in the toilet, then after a while, the toilet paper starts to gather wherever it is. And then it starts stopping the water.
I asked AHS to send somebody different or at least have somebody that has the equipment they need to determine what's wrong with it. The first time we called them back, the guy would escalate it and see if they could get somebody else sent out. This was last Friday. And then he said somebody will call us but nobody ever called. So, I called them back yesterday and they were gonna escalate it again. I then called them today and the guy said that they were going to send out the same plumbers one more time.

We've had American Home Shield for 25 years or so. I had two policies with them. But I'm letting them run out. American Home Shield just got too expensive and we weren't happy with some of the services that we received over the past couple of years. I thought they were supposed to do a replacement if they couldn't repair something. The air conditioner went out on my tenants' place three times in the same summer during the hottest part of the year. Technicians just kept coming out and putting a Band-Aid on. The air conditioner worked for two weeks then it would go out again. They recommended that I call American Home Shield and say the thing was shot. They can keep replacing it and replacing it but it was going to go out every other week.
American Home Shield said that as long as they can keep fixing it, they were not going to replace it. I couldn't allow my tenants to go on any further. It was 120 degrees out here in Hemet and it gets that hot in the summer. I ended up replacing the air conditioner out of pocket which cost me $7,000. All American Home Shield would give me was a couple of hundred dollars towards replacing it. That was the final straw though I still kept them another couple of years. I was mad about that situation.
There was also a claim where Accord Appliance came out and verified there was a problem with my tenant's dishwasher. It needed parts. They said they would put them on order. My tenant has been calling and calling but it's still the same. I called last week after I talked to American Home Shield and they said, “The parts are on order. That's the best we can do. We have no control over when they get here. With this COVID, it’s slowed everything down.” I understood that. I said I would just call once a week till they get here. A rep called back yesterday and made an appointment for the technicians to come out on Monday to fix the dishwasher. They finally got the parts in about two months.
This time around, my tenant’s refrigerator and icemaker went out. Technicians came out and said they could fix it but they would have to shut the whole thing down. This meant they were going to have to take out the main board of the thing, take it into their shop, and it would be about two to three weeks before they could get it back in service. Nobody can do without a refrigerator nowadays.
American Home Shield said, “Forget about it. We'll do the buyout thing.” They were going to take about $300 in a buyout. My tenants waited and they kept calling and asking for the money. American Home Shield said that the check was in the mail. Finally, I called because it had gone on long enough. My tenants wanted to get the buyout so they could go out and buy themselves a new refrigerator but they needed the money to at least put towards it. American Home Shield told me, "That ain't the way it works. They have to buy the new refrigerator first and then send us a copy of the invoice or receipt.”
I called and my tenant said, “We can't buy a refrigerator now. I guess we just have to live with what we've got until we can afford to buy another refrigerator when things get better and we can all get back to work.” I wasn't really happy about that and that was the final nail in the head. When my policy ran out here at my own home, I let it run out. I already signed up with another company which gave me a great deal over a three-and-a-half-year period. I did the same thing with the other house. I was given a deal on that too. It turns out that the warranty companies all use the same contractors. Also, American Home Shield's call-out fees was going to $80 this year for me and the yearly annual cost was almost $900 a year from $700. That was too much of a jump. My warranty on the other home is going to end early next week and my other policy picks up right where that leaves off. I'm just waiting so I can get this squared away and move on.
I don't understand why American Home Shield is one of the most expensive out there now. They used to be the most reasonable. I was really happy in past years that was why I was with them for so long. But over the past couple of years, things have changed. You almost can't talk to a real person anymore and that was fine with me. I only had one or two problems a year and my claims were all done online. I was pretty satisfied with that. The contractors always followed through. The contractors would tell me that they put in a suggestion for a replacement but American Home Shield would tell me that they would to fix the problem as long it could be fixed.
American Home Shield is more of an average company now than they were a good company. This year, it wasn't all just bad service. It's just things have changed. They don't do anything and I can't see paying more if they're not going to do anything. Hopefully, after everything scores away and we're back to normal or as close to it as we can get after this pandemic thing is over, things will change for everybody including American Home Shield.

Southern Comfort HVAC has been here four times and the furnace is still not working. I feel bad for the young guys that have come out here. They've been awesome and if they don't have the parts or the thing doesn't work, it's not their fault. They've had to come out and check it out, and they had to order a part to see if that would work. That didn't work. I was approved for a new furnace and they came out with it but couldn't install it because some part was missing. They got that part and came back. The furnace is still not working and this is during the coldest time of the year. They had to order another part and I had ended up paying $400 more than I was told in the beginning that I would have to pay. I had already paid over 1,000 and it's very frustrating. I don't know when they're coming back. The people I've talked to on the phone are so genuine and I love doing business with them. I just would like to have a furnace that works.

The technician may have taken care of an immediate problem, but then, the issue reoccurs. I don't know how to take care of that problem. When I tried to call the repair company, I said, “Well, it’s still not quite working properly.” They said, “Well, you have to call the insurance.” In other words, they don't come back for another visit to take care of the same problem. The technician was fine when he was here, but there should be a bit more of a follow-up. I understand it was a different problem, but it seems like it's the same. I set the thermostat, and sometimes, it will go on, but sometimes, I have to reset the thing.
Just this morning, my wife said, “Well, the thermostat’s set at 75. But then, the room is 73 or 72,” so I had to go down the basement. There’s a switch and I had to turn it off, and then turn it on again. If this thing keeps going the way it is, then I have to pay another service call, which is $100. That’s what happened last time. This past visit is the second time they came and it's not quite keeping the thermostat again. I'm disappointed in AHS because of that. I paid twice already.

I called American Home Shield one morning and called the next night. One was for my faucet, and the other one was for my water heater. The faucet only had some particles in it. The plumber just did that and then he went and fixed my water heater. There's one thing I was a little disgruntled about with that last visit though. The plumber did both on the same trip, but I was charged 250 (125 each). I complained and asked to speak to a supervisor, but they said no, that they had to charge me. It was the work order, but they were not willing to make that one trip and I had issues with that.
If the plumber made two separate trips, I would expect two separate service calls. American Home Shield also didn't send somebody else. They sent the same person. Other than that, the plumber who came was was very polite and clean. When he came in and put on his booties, gloves and mask, I was more than elated. I really appreciate him doing that and I would highly recommend him. If I didn't have American Home Shield and I personally needed a plumber, I will call him. However, I have American Home Shield and I've been pleased with them. I'll continue to keep them.

We had a faucet leak in one of the bathrooms and I had the part to repair it because I had repaired something else and I had an extra one. And then, our faucet in the kitchen had a leak, but it was a Moen faucet, so they sent me the repair, but I didn't want to do it. I had all the parts for stuff. And we had one other toilet that was hard to flush and the repairman said it was just a washer. He was in here, repaired all three things, in 10 minutes and no charge. He was terrific. He responded quickly, he was here, in and out, and everything works great. I have some other plumbing issues now. We're getting ready to sell our house. There were a couple of things that popped up and we need to have them fixed, so I'm going put an order in today for American Home Shield. Also, we're going to put AHS on the new house. We've been pleased.
We have had coverage with AHS for 10 years and they have come through. It's always a function of who they send out. But with HVAC, plumbing and electrical, it has been good. The only issue was we had four different guys come out to repair a motor in a Jacuzzi bathtub and it ended up being a simpler fix than what it was. We were pretty displeased with that. But in the end, it got repaired. It's just that there were some follow-up things that had to be done and it was time-consuming. We have a 40-year old Maytag dryer that they fixed a few times and different things and it still hums along. Refrigerator, a couple of times on a Bosch dishwasher.
When we were looking at this North Carolina move, my Realtor suggested somebody else, but they were on the worst on any list of the best or worst. There were a number of not so good things. And then, on the best, when I looked at somebody else other than AHS, their rates were good. What it cost to come out was better. However, they didn't cover everything.
So when we added other things in that are covered as part of AHS, it would be more expensive or we would get that, "Oh, I'm sorry, we don't cover that." We have never been turned down with AHS on anything, and we pretty much know what's covered or not. Make sure you know what's covered and not, and know what the cost of coming out is, and look and see, "Do they get good marks in terms of coming out and finishing the job?" In 95% of the time, AHS has delivered.
All things considered, if it's just the appliance side, is there good value in that? I don't know. If we're paying 65 a month. But we have the combo thing, it really pays off when you have a major repair. Like in our case, in 2019, we had to have a furnace replaced, and either that same year or year before that, we had to have a compressor on the other unit replaced. That's a big expense if you've ever had that done, and that more than covers the things that we have to have had done. But it adds up. We had a disposal replaced last year. Not a lot of money, but it's 300 bucks and we still had to pay the fee for them to do that. And the other key thing too is to make sure you lump stuff together.
On this case, we knew we had a leak, but we had three other issues. So, you don't pay three times 125 bucks, you pay 125 bucks and they do all three things. We've got another couple of things like that. And if you can group things together under the same thing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, whatever, then there's some benefit to that. And they do some other things. There's an additional charge, but they will come out and hook up all your TVs and mount them and do stuff like that for a fee, as opposed to having to call the Geek Squad.
We're in a house that's 25 years old, so we didn't do it right away. But we're going to move into a house that's 13 years old. We requested that the sellers pay for the first, which they are going to do. That's a good deal for us. Hopefully, if there's anything that's wrong with anything, that will catch and I would expect we'll continue that. It's good insurance.

Eco Air came out promptly and looked at our unit. We had to wait about a week without heat because they had to order a part for our heat pump. We wish we had a little more contact with the contractor between the time they came out the first time and ordered the part. It was a week and a half, and we didn’t have any contact with them. That made us nervous, but we had an okay experience. On the other hand, we've got a current claim with American Home Shield for a plumbing issue and we’re having significant problems with them right now.
Our water heater isn’t working. I’ve got a large family, and we haven’t had hot water for over a week. Every time I call AHS, they give me excuses about they can’t get a contractor out. When I talked to them last night, they said that I can get a contractor, but they gave me this giant list of contractors that I’m not allowed to use. The contractor that I contacted said that they won’t work with American Home Shield because they’ve been done wrong by them. I live in a small town, and I can't get a contractor out to take care of it.
American Home Shield refuses to move forward with my claim too. I was hoping I could buy a water heater from Lowe's, and they would reimburse me, but apparently, that would violate my contract with them. We've already paid the $80 service charge to have the contractor come out. So, they’ve taken my money, but they’re not doing anything about getting us hot water, which is upsetting. Our current experience has been gnarly. If I could, I’d leave AHS. I wouldn't use them if I had the choice now. If I knew what I was gonna go through now, I would use somebody else.

I know he didn't change it out because on the hot water heater, you have a pressure release valve, and it is dripping water. The first time the guy came out, my wife told me he was only there about 15 minutes. I used to be a maintenance supervisor for a residential group home facility and there is no way you can change a pressure release valve out in 15 minutes. Because the first thing you have to do, you have to cut off the water going into the hot water heater. Then you have to drain the hot water heater down below the pressure release valve before you take the pressure release valve off. That takes at least 20 to 30 minutes by itself before you can ever get to the process of taking the pressure relief valve off.
K & S is sending another technician out because the last technician they sent out the second time reeked of alcohol. I told them that I didn't want him back at my house, which was the same one they sent out the first time that didn't change it at all. The claims process is good, except for when people come out and don't do what they're supposed to do. The only problem I ever had is the problem with K & S Plumbing that I just had. Other than that, American Home Shield has been fine.

I had two service calls. The first one was a plumbing one that just went horribly wrong. That was through a plumbing company in San Antonio that tried to rip me off and just told lies to American Home Shield. Told them what AHS wanted to hear. They refused the claim and gave me a ridiculously high bid to get it done, which was $1,300. I eventually called a local plumber that I could get. Got the whole thing done for $157. But Safari took care of that, refunded me my money, and made sure that ASAP Plumbing refunded me the half that I paid up front. She followed through with everything, all the way. She was very professional and nice to deal with. I was furious when I called and she was very kind.
But then going through Quantum, which was the furnace repair, I was very happy with them. They were very good. They came out as soon as they could. It took a few days. We had a horrible ice storm here. My electricity went out, and the roads were blocked because of the ice and the snow. So they came out the Saturday before and that was the earliest they could get out. My electricity only just came on that Friday anyway, so it was fine. But they handled it, there was no repair that needed to be done. Because of the ice storm, it just knocked the igniter out. And it just had to be manually fired up to get it going again.
I have to call in another claim. It's a plumbing waistline that is leaking. And I'm trying to decide whether it's worth my while to call it in or just get my plumber in to fix it. Because it's probably going to cost $200 to get it done. And it's probably not worth the hassle to go through AHS. First of all, it’s calling the plumber that would be assigned. Calling the other plumber that they originally assigned me, talking to him about it, sending him photographs, and asking him what he thinks. And then, calling it into AHS and see if I can do it that way. I used Old Republic prior to using AHS, and Old Republic allowed me to do that. They’re the ones that taught me, “Go through it backwards and see if it'll be beneficial to you. And if it will be, then putting the claim the way you would normally do it.” They were always very easy to work with because of that. And their deductible is a lot less than AHS.
AHS tends to be difficult to work with. However, Quantum air condition, the people that came out to repair my furnace, had very good things to say about them. And I had very good things to say about Quantum. The tech was very kind and professional. So, I don't know if I should give this one more shot and go through the frustration of dealing with AHS, or just bite the bullet and take care of it myself.

The heaters were running constantly and not heating the house so we were freezing. The contractor was able to come out the same day I made the claim which was amazing. They got everything working. They were great. But on a different service request that I put in a few days ago, I have yet to hear from anybody.

My refrigerator's drawers were broken. Getting a contractor out through American Home Shield was a pain in the butt. I called them and it took forever. I was put on hold and then they called me back in an hour and a half. It's a horrible process. A lot of people go online but I don't remember my new contract number. I had AHS in my old house so I only remember my old one. Other than that, AHS has been wonderful about giving me an expectation as to when to expect their contractors. Majestic Appliances came for my refrigerator claim and they were amazing. There was a contractor before that was sketchy but Majestic has been very competent.
AHS should check who their contractors are. Also, they need to use people in the US. Most of the people whom I've talked to are outsourced and there's a language barrier. There are other warranty companies that I've used in the past. Out of all of them, American Home Shield is the most reliable and the most efficient.

The elements inside the oven had burnt out. The guy came out and ordered it. He didn't come back. About a week later, someone else came in and put it in. Both visits, they came early. So instead of having me wait three hours within that window of time, they came before time and that was perfect.

I’d recommend American Home Shield ‘cause you never know when you need it. If you can afford it, get it. They've been very efficient, quick and everything has been on point. Recently, they had a tech come for a repair and he did a good job. He checked the temperature fine and everything worked perfect since.

American Home Shield is really good. When we replaced the washing machine, we had no problems with them. The problem was only with the delayed stuff. Our washer was making a loud noise when it went on the spin cycle. We called them and told them about it and they said they’d send someone out to look at it. Sears came out and they said the washer was bad. They said I had to get another one so I looked online. The one I wanted to order was no longer in stock so I had to choose a different washer. I picked out a washer and it was delayed because they didn't have the washer in stock yet. It was delayed twice and we had to wait a while. But the people that came out to install it did an excellent job.
However, I was dissatisfied with the dryer issue. When it wasn’t working, the guy got it working again. He put a new monitor but it wasn't heating up properly after that. So we called and we had three different companies come out for that and they said everything was fine. But there are times where we dry it and sometimes it comes out damp. But the brand-new washing machine works very well.

I had a small fire here and the washing machine cord burned. Bragg's Appliance Service said I would have to pay for the ordering of the cord and then they could put it on and see if the washing machine works after that. I told them to stop the service because I can't pay for a part and I don't know if it's gonna work. But they were very professional. They practiced social distancing and wore masks.

American Home Shield is a great deal. For just a small service fee that I have to pay for my contract, I’ve saved quite a bit of money and I’ve already recommended American Home Shield to several people. I’m in Texas and we've just gone through the ice age here and we have clogged pipes. The people from The Lindsay Company who came out for the plumbing repair were very polite and professional guys. I’ve had them out twice and they’re great. They also followed all the COVID protocols.

Everything was fine when Wicker Installation came out. It was very difficult to get a response back but I attribute that to the inclement weather that we were having.

A tech showed my husband the part and said it would cost $25 but he would have to charge 250 to put it on. He said the service wasn't covered in my Home Shield plan. That wasn't great. We went down to Home Depot and the part was on the shelf. We called somebody and they came and put the part on for us. We fixed this issue. This was the only time I used Home Shield and I was so mad that I was going to cancel it. Both my daughters have the home warranty. They said to give it some time and see how that goes. I told a lot of people about Home Shield before I ever used it. I told them my daughter used it and that has done a good job for her. She recommended it.
Another thing with Home Shield is I've had them for about one year now and I never got a booklet nor the details of what the warranty covers and what it doesn't cover, for example in a plumbing situation or when I get my air conditioning unit service. I'm going to call Home Shield to service it. When I have a claim, I just dial the number on the Home Shield card. I asked them if there is a pamphlet that they can send me to detail what I'm getting done instead of being told, "No, that's not covered." They said they were gonna send me one but I never got anything.
