The furnace people came out and sent a tech, who was a very nice guy. He came back out twice and the second time he came to check on it, it was still not working. He said it wasn't an HVAC problem and we have to set up an appointment with an electrician. I went back and I made an appointment with an electrician to come out. The electrician came in and he said that there's no problem with the wiring. The wiring from our thermostat all the way down to our furnace are intact and working fine.
Then, I went into labor so I had no time to figure it out. At that point, they were referring me to another HVAC company. But I stopped dealing with it because I live in Minnesota where we've had three weeks of sub-zero weather and I have a newborn and two kids in the house. It was more of a hassle than anything else. I got a loan and I got a new furnace. I ended up buying a whole unit myself out of pocket.

The AHS warranty is very helpful when you need it. I recently submitted a claim with them and it was fairly easy. I logged in and just pushed a button to start the claims process. Then I made a payment. The person that came out was professional, fast, and fixed the problem. So my experience was overall satisfactory and since then, the refrigerator has been working as it should.

Submitting a claim with AHS was easier than if I had gone to do it on my own. They told me on the phone that the technician would contact me shortly. Then the technician contacted me within 10 minutes and let me know the day and time he would be contacting me before he came. Then he contacted me when he was on the way to the home. I was extremely satisfied with everything that the techs did. I was very impressed that it made me wish that we could use them more. They did a very thorough job. I wish all my service calls after the storm were that easy.
We had American Home Shield with our first home. That was about five years ago and we were not happy at all. So we were not planning on doing home warranties, but it was a component of our contract with the sellers of our current home. So we went ahead and did it, and decided to give it another go. So far, we've been very happy.

I’ve done a few different jobs via American Home Shield, and it's always done pretty well. You file the notice on their website, and they find a guy. The guy contacts you usually within 24 hours to set up a date. As far as the plumbing repair, the techs came out, they assessed it and took pictures. It did take a little while, they said, for them to get the parts that I needed, because it was kind of a weird cartridge in the faucet. It was discontinued. They did get it and then they scheduled the service the day after they said they got it. They came back, and it worked out pretty well. They were really knowledgeable.

I have a gas heater in the attic and every time the techs come, they get it to work. But, there's a thermostat on that heater and once it gets to that temperature, then it clicks off. When the temperature drops again, it clicks back on and no heat comes out. The recent appointment was the fourth time they have been out to service my heater. There were some parts that the tech is going to order to try to correct the issue. He took some photos as well. He's looking at coming back out on Monday or Tuesday of next week to see if he can fix the problem. American Home Shield has been consistent and the technicians they have sent have been good people who know what they are doing.

Every time I put in a request to American Home Shield, no matter what it is and whether it is small or big, there is a flat charge. It's effectively a deductible but it's not like I can make a request, figure out what the cost is and then figure out if I want to go forward. I have to make a request to get in touch with these people to notify them of an issue that is under warranty and I have to pay the charge. It pisses me off and if I had known about that, I might have gone with a different warranty provider. Other than that, the service has been great. Usually, the contractors that they assign to fix things are good but there's no flexibility on the request order and you can't get in touch with anyone until you make a request order. So, it's very frustrating. It creates tension in the relationship.
We really appreciate you taking time to share your warranty experience. We look forward to handling your future AHS needs. Have an amazing week.

If you live in the middle of nowhere, it's really hard for me to suggest that you use American Home Shield. With two different claims, it took them two months to get somebody to come to my house.

The techs who installed the dishwasher were really nice. We had a nice conversation afterward in my driveway. They did a really good job and the cleanup was great. I'm just glad it's a new dishwasher because I need it so bad. I had my doubts about American Home Shield at first. The first two times I used them didn’t turn out the way I thought they would. But this time, they really redeemed themselves and it went really well. I love American Home Shield now. I'm all in with them.

We had one of our heat pumps go out during the surges of the storm. The contractor came and troubleshot the issue. They discovered what was wrong in really quick order, and replaced it. Everything was done under an hour. They did a great job. It's very easy to get through American Home Shield. They have their website set up, so if you don't know your account number, you can put in your address, and it will pull up your account for you. It's very user-friendly. American Home Shield is one of the easiest home warranties I've ever used. We like them and we keep it on our own DIME mail.
I had three repairs done after the storm because of the surges that created an issue with our dishwasher, and we had a ceiling fan and heat pump go out. So I had three different calls and separate charges, but each issue was resolved relatively quickly and professionally. The technicians gave us a heads up who was coming. They kept us on track with when they would be here. They were always here when they said they would be. All the technicians wore their protective gear. They were polite and efficient. They did their job.

I have had a great experience with American Home Shield. I put in a claim for our air conditioner and it was a heat pump. They are a little bit hard to work on and Comfort King is the only one in the last 20 years that knows how do that so I’m glad that AHS has them. Without Comfort King, people would come out and do it backwards. They got everything repaired. Whenever I call AHS, they are right on it. I’m usually calling from work and I don't know my service number. They are good and quick about looking it up for me. Another thing I like is that they put on there for the contractor to call me before they come. I'm only three blocks from my house but that gives me time to go home and not lose all my work. They don't put me on a one-to-five list.

We had an issue with the thermostat recently. The tech had to go into the furnace 'cause it wasn't coming on. There was a part in there that he fixed. It was making a very loud noise when it came on. He had to do an adjustment on the inside of tightening some stuff so that it wasn't rattling when it came on. He got that fixed for us also. I've asked him several things. This one has a different type of filter than we've ever had before and he answered all my questions on not only what kind of filter but how often I needed to replace it. The tech was really good, very professional and very helpful.
We had an issue when we first moved in with water backing up in our basement. We used the people that AHS recommended. They did a great job. But we had a 10,500 bill and AHS only covered 2,000 of it. So I have a very hard time recommending AHS. 'Cause I've had home warranties before and I've had very good luck. This is the first time I've ever had an issue with a claim. The people that have done the work, I would recommend. I just don't know if I would recommend American Home Shield.

The water heater was leaking. American Home Shield had somebody come out. He was very professional, on-time and quick to resolve the issue. This experience was good. I've had American Home Shield for six years. My experience is kind of varied over the time. Sometimes, it's not great and other times, it's good. Sometimes, I don't think the contractors that they select are not the top-rated. So, we get someone different every year. There was one time where they said that they would just have to pay whatever the rate was when we actually got the water heater installed. And so, it was really difficult to try and change to a different contractor.

When we bought our house, it was 15 years old. I was concerned that some of the appliances, like our two furnaces, may go at some time and they need some protection. We opted for American Home Shield. We had a claim recently for a leak. Johnny came out and he was awesome. He was good to work with. He found that the issue was not with the plumbing. The leak was caused from another area, which he could not resolve. He provided different things to do to try to fix it and who I would need to contact if I couldn't fix it on my own. I ended up doing the work myself and fixed the leak.

Everything went smooth with submitting the claim. American Home Shield itself was good in terms of sending out somebody to get to the root of the problem. But I don't like the process that happened as it took me to get to Airsmith Pro because Western Heating and Air couldn't get the problem together. I sent a report to their tech to know, “Hey, this is what you missed.” So, the next time they go to somebody else's house, it won't be the same inconvenience. They can learn from their experience. I had to call several times before a company finally came out there and figured out what was the issue. Airsmith Pro got to the root of what was going on. Everything is working fine since they were out.

I called American Home Shield to submit a claim and they sent Absolute Comfort and Heating out. Other than the fact that frequently AHS's phone is busy and you’ll have to call several times, I didn't have any problems. Absolute Comfort and Heating also provided very prompt service. They were very professional. We had a fan in the furnace that had gone nuts. They tried to resecure the same fan. But it didn’t work. It sounded like a threshing machine going off. So they had to come back and install a new fan to get everything to work properly. They ordered it, came back and installed it, and it’s working fine now.
However, this summer we had no air conditioning for over a month when it was 101 to 104 degrees. They had ordered a compressor but it didn't work. I finally got the regional manager involved. The dryer broke too and I was out without a dryer for over a month. They could never get parts for Maytag. So they finally settled with me to buy a new dryer.

There’s a pot filler in my kitchen that the plumber wasn't able to get a replacement part for but he sort of made it work. It's not leaking. It's not perfect like it was but everything else that he did was fine and the repairs were done. On another claim, I'm waiting for a callback from American Home Shield so someone would come back to complete the repair on the garage door. This is the first time I’ve ever had American Home Shield and so far, it's working okay. They're just a little slow when things don't go exactly the way they should. Just like this garage door, I haven't heard back from anybody in reference to them sending another company out. If everything goes smooth, it's fine. But if there's a little bit of glitch, it seems like there's a lot of internal paperwork that happens which delays the repairs.

The tech from Holland Plumbing came out for the shower that was dripping, the tub faucet that was not turning correctly and leaking, and a leak under the sink in the kitchen. He was great and he repaired all three. He was professional, very kind, and he did the work quickly. He also had a mask and gloves on when he came in and he got everything taken care of. I would highly recommend him.
The last lady that I had with AHS was freaking phenomenal, too. But I had to get through to the loyalty department to get to that point because the customer service now for American Home Shield sucks. The overseas communication that’s now coming in is horrible and it takes you a while to try to get to somebody in the state that understand. They were not supposed to charge me a certain amount of money, but they’ve charged it every month. I've called in then I've been passed around several times. I've called multiple times, left messages, and people said that they were going to escalate it, and get back with me. But no one ever did that, until I finally got this young lady who went on and took care of my service call for me. She gave me peace.
All in all, I was glad to have my stuff fixed but customer service-wise, all the stuff I had to do just to get through to the last lady who helped me, my experience with AHS overall was very substandard. Also, I had a plumbing team to come out before that did not fix and finish the job. Their company was called Prime Plumbing and American Home Shield sent them out. It ended up being a really bad experience and we did not want them to come back because it was a mess. I reached out to American Home Shield to try to rectify that problem, but I couldn't get through and could not get anybody to help me.
So, I sat down and wrote a letter by hand and mailed it to the corporate office of American Home Shield. I did not get a response back from that letter until months later. And when I finally got an email from somebody who said that they were trying to see if I still had a problem, I responded back to them immediately, but I never heard anything else. I tried to reach back and I called the corporate office’s phone number multiple times. But somebody there said that she closed the case because she couldn't get in touch with me. So, even from the corporate level, my experience with their customer service was a negative. The problem is happening from the head on down and it wasn't always like that.

We've been with American Home Shield for 16 years and the process is very easy in terms of paying the payment. I would definitely recommend American Home Shield, without a doubt. Years before, there had been some concern dealing with a refrigerator, but in a recent instance, we had a very positive experience. AHS had a gentleman come out and he saw exactly what was wrong with our heating system. He shared that information with my husband and it happened exactly as he said. Once there was a part, he came right back out and took care of it. We are pleased. The gentleman was very professional and knowledgeable.

We've mostly had a positive experience with AHS, but there was an issue that took a really long time to resolve. It was the first claim we put in with them. Our refrigerator was not working. It turned out that the fridge was from the '70s and it just didn't work. They were ultimately not able to replace it. But there was a lot of confusion on their side as far as how long it would take to do a part search. Then when they did a part search, they sent out a part that looked like they had pulled it out of a junkyard. The repair technician was like, "This is just not going to work. I'll try it." But when he put it in, the fridge completely died. It was a little bit difficult to get them to agree to replace the fridge.
So, we were without a working fridge for over a month, so that part was not so good. Other than that, we've had them out for a few other claims. The house that we purchased had not been lived in for almost a year and so, there were quite a few issues. The majority of the issues have been easy to repair and very quick for them to take care of. But when it comes to something that clearly is not working that needs to be replaced, they're very reluctant to replace it. I understand that that's an expense, but it was a little frustrating working with them through that process.

Our recent claim experience with AHS went quite well. When I filed the report, AHS contacted someone locally. The company contacted us right away.

A week later, my wife did the same thing. Never got a call back. Finally, it was resolved. Hayes came out. They got the part and fixed it. But the problem was with American Home Shield. They weren't getting back to us. Also, if we wanted to talk to a supervisor, the supervisors weren't available, but somebody would call back and they didn't call back. Overall, we're very happy with American Home Shield, except for the problem with the refrigerator. We went almost two months without water, and we're on the well so that's our only filtered water.

I had a good experience with my claim for my air conditioning unit. No one informed me though about the contractor. I had to call American Home Shield to let them know I haven't heard anything from anyone. Other than that, the tech was out in four days. There’s a part that has to be ordered and I’m waiting on them to call me. I've also had other claims with AHS for my air conditioning and the people who have come out for those were good.

AHS has been really good at getting folks out. Recently, my heat in the house was very uneven. It was really hot upstairs and really cold downstairs. The tech helped me balance that out but what he did was just open the dampers. He felt that there wasn't anything that could be done unless I got a new unit. What he did has helped a little bit. But, it's still markedly cold downstairs compared to upstairs.

I had one experience with American Home Shield and they had my AC fixed, but there were some delays. I told them it was so cold here. I have electrical heating with the AC system. I don't have gas. They had ordered originally the parts as normal. There was a fan motor which was burnt out, and they said the contractor will replace it. When I called them, they didn't seem to be really nice and understand my emergency situation because it was very cold, it's freezing temperature, and I didn't have the AC on and we don't have gas here.
They later on expedited it and the fan motor was installed after 10 days. The contractor just has to depend on American Home Shield, how they expedite and order the parts. So, they came in and replaced it. It was not a very bad experience, but sometimes these people don't understand the situation of the customer because they're trying to save money by not putting extra money for expediting. I got it done eventually. The system was back and the house was warm enough again.
I joined this company because somebody referred it to me and it was my first experience and first call for a repair. I had never called them before. They're not super good to take care of customers right away. They don't understand emergencies unless you are really hard with them. Maybe they don't trust us. They don't trust the customer. Maybe some people have taken advantage of them. Maybe they understood it late. I was not very happy with their initial response because when I called, they didn't seem to understand emergency and they did not seem to care much.

It was a great experience when Air Doctor came out. I received a couple of different quotes and then realized, "Oh my gosh, I have a home warranty." ‘Cause I haven’t used it, I forgot. I called AHS up. They sent the guy out the next day, which was awesome. He saved us thousands of dollars based on the other AC companies that came out before him. So we were very thrilled.
When I submitted the claim, it was fine. The rep asked me some questions that I really didn't have answers to, 'cause I was driving. They tried to be thorough. They were trying to get exactly the right technician or what we need out. But I don't know how to answer some of the questions. They should have simpler questions for those of us that aren't in AC or construction. Also, some people don't understand that when they come out, there is a service fee. It was $75 and now it's $100. It's good to educate consumers on exactly what happens.

The furnace was turning on and off downstairs. About six months ago, we had the same issue with the upstairs unit, and it turned out that the issue was like a circuit breaker. The same thing was happening downstairs. The technician from Tempal came out and went upstairs to look at the unit. He said the door wasn't put on right. So it turned out that the technician who came out six months ago put the door on backwards and he didn't shut it right and he tried to tape the switch close. He was in a rush and even left his tools there. When the technician from Tempal got the door taken back off, he saw that the switch that was in there was taped, and that the tape came loose, so the door wasn't hitting the switch and it wasn't allowing the furnace to come on. So it was a really quick and easy fix. He was very courteous. He wasn't rude and he didn't talk down on us. It was a really good experience. I'm pretty satisfied.

The issue started with what I thought was a leak because my water meter was moving. Third Generation came out and said that they could not detect a leak and needed to have a leak detection company come out. That was okayed by American Home Shield. They sent out a leak detection company and the leak detection technician said that I didn't have a leak but I needed a backflow something put in. So that went back to Third Generation Plumbing.
Third Generation Plumbing came out then and had a work order to put in a new pressure overflow tank. But I questioned the plumber on where he got the information because the leak detection guy said nothing about that to me. We talked at length about what was needed and that there wasn't a problem with the water heater. I suspected fraud because that was never an issue with that water tank. But the plumber from Third Generation went ahead and put a new one in. So it didn't solve the problem. I still got my water meter spinning. I called Third Generation and told them about it and their rep said that the issue was closed and that he wouldn't listen to what I had to say. I got irate at that point. But he insisted that it was closed and that if I'd continue to call, he was gonna call the police.
Third Generation has always been great. Everybody I've dealt with has always been good, in my opinion. The technicians were good and the phone was good. I called back a few minutes later and got a woman on the phone, who I had spoken with in the past. I told her that I was that glad I got her because I was talking to somebody else who wouldn't listen to anything. Then she handed the phone to him and he got back on the phone and said that he was going to call the police. I asked to talk to the manager and the guy said that he was the manager. At that point, it was a done deal. I knew that they scammed the home warranty. They wrote up a work order that was bogus and sent it to American Home Shield to be paid.
American Home Shield sent out another company to look at things and they couldn't find a leak. The guy said that I needed a backflow but I'd have to get with American Home Shield and see if they would cover that. Overall, I'm very satisfied with American Home Shield. The only issue I have with them is that I end up in a call service in the Philippines and the people there that we're talking to don't know anything about what I'm talking about. But they've always been on top of things to get a contractor there. This last time, they were good enough to find a new contractor so I didn't have to deal with Third Generation again.

A&P was wonderful. They did an amazing job. As far as the appliances, most of them were irreparable. Our washer was shaking violently and it wouldn't rinse the clothes out. Everything was still sopping wet. So I called for the repair on that one and it turned out that it was one of the issues with that washer. So because there was a recall on it, I had to contact LG. AHS wouldn't cover it. I've called LG twice and I've left messages to whatever department it's supposed to go to but I have not heard back from them on that.
On our dryer, I didn't feel safe using it because there was so much lint built up inside of it and it still smelled like burning even after it was cleaned out and the coils. Also, the dryer was so much older that I figured that it wasn't worth it. So, I just cashed out and I went to see what I could get and got a new one that same day. I also cashed out the double oven and refrigerator. I'm waiting on delivery for those. It was terrible. The stovetop is a downdraft and that isn't working. They gave me an option to wait 10 to 14 weeks to be able to use it again or cash out at $170 towards a new one. We can't wait 10 to 14 weeks to have a cooktop, so we have no choice. It's disappointing. $170 is not gonna cover much towards a new one, but it's something.
When we bought the house, we had the inspector come and we paid the upgrade to double-check the appliances. But we're not happy with a lot of things. There was a major issue with our furnace. It was a dangerous issue. There was soot everywhere and the cap would keep getting full of soot. We just had the oil filled and it was clogged with soot. I had the chimney sweepers come out and sweep, but it was still clogging up. Something was broken inside of it or cracked where it was not heating right. Where the stack from the harness meets the chimney, there was a large gap that was leaking, going into the house rather than going into the chimney. It needed to be cemented closed. The repairman said that it was not safe and my inspector should have caught that issue.

My husband wanted me to cancel five years ago but I told him that we needed to keep the warranty and I have kept on. He's gone now, so I probably need AHS more than ever, but I'm done because I'm not going to let these men come in here and talk to me like they did and take advantage.
My furnace not coming on for three days during the winter storm of Houston. A friend back home told me how to reset it and I tried to reset it myself because I knew there was a way to do it. I was told me to just turn it off, leave it off all night, then in the morning, turn it on, and see if it resets. I did that and it came on but I couldn't get the flow in them. Nothing would come out in the kitchen and I had to get electric heaters and plug them in the kitchen, so my pipes wouldn’t burst in the kitchen.
Then, I put in a claim with AHS and the technician from Air Dynasty came in. He said my ductwork could needed cleaning, which was not covered. But I told him that it was cleaned in May. It was taken out of my house and I had an access door put in in May because I had a brand-new air conditioning system put in. At the time, American Home Shield also denied my air conditioning claim because the techs put in that my old unit was dirty and that was why it was broken, which wasn’t the case. It was 30 years old and that persons that came for that said that they would put a brand new motor in and it was going to buy me a couple of years, and it did. But they said that AHS would buy us a new air conditioning system but they didn't.
The next time I got a person to come out, he was from another one-star company. He said that it was close to 30 years old and that was causing the problem. But my husband was an engineer and he said that that was not why the unit was not working. So, he told them to tried to figure out how to get the engine to work. But they just put a brand-new motor in it instead of figuring out how to get it working.
So, when Air Dynasty’s tech came out and I told him all that, he said that he would come back with his supervisor at 3:00 o'clock. Then, he stood over me and said that he needed me to rate him. I didn't want to rate him until my claim was over but he wouldn't leave my house till I rated him. I put a 3 down and he said that he needed a 5. He also said that I could rate them again when he came back with his supervisor. Aside from that, he told me that I needed my ductwork done and it would cost $8,000. That was how much it was going to be to get my heater working and it had nothing to do with my furnace. But I already had an estimate for that from another company and it would cost only $2,400 to $2,800. The tech then walked out the door and did nothing to my furnace to figure out why it wasn’t coming in the kitchen.
Then, the warranty states that if the techs couldn’t figure how to get an appliance working, American Home Shield is supposed to replace it. But in the way that that guy wrote up his report, the problem was all our fault because the unit was dirty. I'm also not really happy with AHS right now because I called them on Monday, and it's Friday now. So, it's been a whole week and nothing has been resolved. I called the company that put my AC in and asked them to get back out here. I told them to test all my ductwork and make sure it's flowing. If it's not flowing, I’ll rip it out the next day and they can put in a new one. When they came out, they tested it and told me that it was ripped up in the corner, but it's still flowing through there. They also said that that's not where the problem is. The problem is over somewhere. Now, I've got another ductwork people coming out on Monday to see if they can figure out why it's still not fixed.
At the same time, I have a hot water heater that's been out since the day of the storm. Houston cut our electric and gas flow off then everybody’s hot water tank blew up. Then, all the pipes froze but my pipes didn't freeze because I cut my water off at the street. When I submitted a claim with AHS for the hot water, the same thing happened. Plumber came in and did not even try to start it. It's in the attic and I agree that it’s in the worst place possible. It’s a hard place to get to. But he didn't even bend down and put a lighter on it. I didn't hear from anybody after his visit, then I got an email saying that they might have to bring something up to code. I thought it couldn't be that much but the plumber said that it was going to be $1,400. I told him that he was out of his mind and that I would be calling my own plumber.
Before this claim, American Home Shield replaced the other hot water heater that I had on on my ground floor a few years back. That was when it was a good company. I paid 30 bucks and AHS paid their price. And the techs came in and replaced my item. But it’s not like that anymore. American Home Shield is getting thrown through the wolves and I'm surprised they have have any customers. If you Google the companies that they send out, the first line in every one of these companies is American Home Shield, and those companies have one star, so American Home Shield has one-star.

The company that came out for the microwave was really great. They checked it and it was the motherboard. They said, "We'll have to submit a thing to order the part." A month went by. Finally, the part came in but then they realized that it wasn't the full part of the motherboard. So then they chose to replace it. I had to call back. The claim was approved for us to get a replacement through American Home Shield, but they didn't have a comparable over-the-range microwave. So they sent us a check.
But the only thing that I'm not satisfied with is the fact that I can't get a decent over-the-range microwave. They were like $600. I already paid $100 'cause that was my deductible for them to come out. I'm also having to pay because I don't know how to install it and that's over 100 bucks. So that's the annoying part. But if they had had one in stock, it would have been much easier because then everything would have been covered.
Everyone is always very kind when I call AHS to ask about a claim. But they're always really nervous to make a mistake. They have been foreign and they always seem super cautious. I almost feel like they're scared. But then when I talk to someone, like the lady in the replacement, I feel a totally different vibe from that person versus the person who answers the call to submit the claim.

AHS ended up sending the same repairmen that I had when I was with Sears Home Warranty, so I was a little surprised. I thought I'd be getting different contractors out to fix my stuff with them, but the one who worked on my fridge was fine. The tech did a good job, knew what the problem was, and was very nice. He was in and out in no time. And thankfully, I didn't have to buy another refrigerator. At the time, there was water coming out from the freezer door and I thought maybe there was a kink in the line. But it turned out that the part at the back where the grates are had gotten frozen and the water didn't have anywhere to go but out. The tech had to defrost this and clean the filter. The fridge is fine now and submitting the claim for this service was pretty easy. Things worked out pretty well.

She said that I could pick one of the three options, so I picked the third option and I just purchased a stovetop and I sent the receipt.
The furnace was making a loud noise. So the tenants shut it off. A company came and put a blower on it. Then again, it went out and they came back and they said it needed to be restarted. It was something minor. They left and then it went out again. So AHS called the company back but the company couldn't come back. So they sent a different company.

There was a bad smell coming out of our master bathroom and we thought it was associated with the toilet. We submitted a claim with AHS and the techs had been out here twice. The first time they came, they found that the toilet wasn't securely sealed to the floor, so they sealed it. Two weeks later, we smelled it again and went back on American Home Shield’s website. We put in there that we needed them to come back out and there was no fee, which I was happy for.
When the techs came back out, they found that we needed to run water in one of the bathtubs that we're not using often. We use the shower more often and something about the P trap in the bathtub was allowing the smell to come through. So they've given us an explanation, but I'm waiting to see if it's true. All in all, filing a claim with AHS appeared to be a simple process and it was all done online. I also received the emails to help me with how to create an account and log in.

I had a water heater that was rusted out and leaking. It needed to be replaced. American Home Shield sent a plumbing company to check on it. The plumbers told me that they wanted me to tell American Home Shield that I didn't want them to do the job, do the cash-out but they would do the work anyway. That seemed weird and sketchy to me.
So, I told the plumbers that I'd rather have them do the job. I then got a call from AHS asking if I wanted cash in lieu. I told them I never asked for that. I was provided a different company that never even came out to look at the water heater. They dropped me and then transferred me back to the original guys. I felt like I was a volleyball and it was a hard situation. It's the middle of January, there’s no hot water, and these companies don't even want to do the work. They kept transferring me to different people and kept ignoring me. That was a bad experience and it made me reevaluate whether or not I wanted to be a customer of American Home Shield. I asked people at American Home Shield never to let me work with those technicians again. I don't trust that they'll do a good job if they don't even wanna do the job in the first place.
Eventually, I said “Fine. Just give me the cash in lieu. And I will replace it myself since these companies don't wanna come out.” AHS gave me $400 but to replace the heater costs $1,600. If I were to do the replacement myself, it would cost me way more than $400 to purchase a water heater and put it in my own pickup truck, and bring it home, not including delivery. There wouldn't be any amount left over for installation if $400 is all AHS is giving me.
Other than that, my experience has been mostly good. Recently, one of my water heaters went out. It took a while for the techs from Reeder to come out. When they did, they got here on time but they had to go get a part. They came back, fixed my heater and it has been great ever since. Reeder has been so amazing that I have them do maintenance on my furnace once a year. While sometimes I get a bad experience with AHS, there are good opportunities to network with good technicians.

I called American Home Shield and they gave me the number of the company. They said they would call me but I didn’t wait so I called them and the next day, they came. The heater is working fine but it still has a knocking sound on my bedroom. If it's warm outside, the noise is not there. But when it's very cold, you can hear a constant knock-knock-knock. The tech told me that maybe it's the joints and everything is fine. He was very courteous and knowledgeable. He gave me some peace of mind.

American Home Shield came through. They were within 24 hours of that guy being there and said that they were gonna make a cash settlement. It basically covered what I needed to do. It was really great.
I had the furnace go out on the same property. All of a sudden, American Home Shield sent a guy out. I didn't hear anything from him. I called their representative and he was professional and responsive. After I talked to him, by the end of that day, I had what I was looking for. He reached out to the contractor, rode them until they gave him what he needed, and then he responded. It took a week and a half for the tech to come out.
I wanted to do a little something different. The furnace had an old heat exchange but with the climate change, we'd be getting colder temperatures. Heat exchangers don't work anymore. They only get 20-plus degrees over what the ambient temperature is. When the temperature was running 65, I didn't notice anything. I could get it up to 85 in the house. Big deal. Now, the temperatures are running 45 and it's a different story. It's gonna cost me seven grand to get this thing fixed. American Home Shield came through but only offered me $2,000 on a $7,000 deal. I've owned that property 10 years and I'm paying $700 American Home Shield a year. I could’ve just bought a furnace out of my pocket. So, I have one good experience with American Home Shield and a bad experience with them.

Our plumbing was dripping and a guy from K & S Plumbing came and he tightened it. It dripped more so he came back and said that to fix the issue, it would cost me an amount. So he asked me if I wanted to fix it or to keep tightening it up. I told him that we'd hold off. So the issue is still there but I don't wanna pay to fix the issue.

When it worked with AHS, it worked good. In the beginning, it was crazy because it was 100 degrees and the air didn't work. When I called, I got in like a circle hell of messages where I couldn't talk to anybody. They kept saying it was not my account number and that they don't recognize it. My Realtor put a piece of information wrong so AHS had no idea who I was. I was dying in the heat and trying to figure that out. The options were all way too automated. They didn't give me like a, “If we didn't give you a solution here and you really need to talk to somebody, this is what you do,” thing.
But once my information got fixed, it seemed to work fine. I opened up my account online, went in, and requested services. I had them out there for the water heater, kitchen sink, and two other issues. The people were nice and they knew what they were talking about. But I didn't always get things fixed. Sometimes I pay $75 for somebody to come out and Home Shield doesn't cover it.

Our most recent claim to American Home Shield was a hot water heater that has completely quit working. It was installed in 1999, so it's old. They sent a technician with Super Plumbers here in Tyler. He took one look at the hot water heater, said, “Yes, it needs to be replaced,” and he gave me the receipt and the work order that he wrote up. He said, “I will go back to the office. We'll contact American Home Shield. They will get the information for me. They will give the approval.” I reported it on the 20th of February. The plumber came out on the 26th. I know that everybody is super busy because of all the ice and snow and below zero temperatures that we've had. But he made it out here on the 26th. I haven't heard from American Home Shield since. I looked at my account yesterday, and there's a note that they've put in. It's “The work order is out for review.”
The day before yesterday, I called Super Plumbers to see what the status was. The agent told me that American Home Shield had requested additional information from the service man. They sent that the day before yesterday. So it's like they were waiting on some information from the plumber’s company. I also had a heating unit issue. We've got two heat pump units. One of them I thought had quit working. They sent a technician and he replaced a part within the unit. Then when the temperature started falling below 30, the unit quit heating again. They explained to me how a heat pump works. Once the temperatures go below 30, the outside unit will stop working. The inside unit, the air handler has heating coils in it, and that portion of the unit will kick in and that will heat your house.
However, mine, on my one unit, the heating element had been disconnected for some reason. The A-US Air technician hooked that up. They came out a second time. There was no charge because you have 30 to 60 days of if it's the same issue, they'll come back out at no charge, at which they did. They fixed it, and everything's great. I also used American Home Shield in one of our other homes, and they were very good. We were very satisfied with them.

I had another air conditioning place come out the day before to keep my air conditioning unit in shape. They told me there was something broken and they figured that there was a hole in the ductwork. I didn't have them touch anything. We stopped and went to open a claim with American Home Shield. Max Cool Air came out and said that the flute spout was not broken and there was not a hole in the ductwork but the ductwork needed to be completely redone. So they did that but I paid for it separately. Now, it's working better.
The technicians were fine but I didn't like that the person that I talked to was not a technician. He was more of sales so what he told me didn't necessarily happen. He said that there was going to be a team of five that would come in and they were going to add all these ducts. They were going to come the day before and do this computer program to make sure that it was all laid out correctly but none of that happened. Max Cool Air subcontracted it to two other people, which is fine, but it took me a little bit because I had to have a translator to ask my questions.

A sewer gas backup smell was coming into my house. The smell would come and go and we were able to get it to happen once, just really short but not in a really strong manner. So a plumber from Conklin Plumbing came out to try and identify the reasons for the issue. He was good. We walked around the house and he checked everything that could be checked and he could find no apparent reason for the issue.
The plumber was stumped as to what was causing it because everything looked fine in terms of water in the P traps and things being set and running the way they should be. He said that if it would happen again, a couple of things that might have happened were that during the freezing weather that we had two weeks ago, there could have some venting out the vent stack that froze over. That would seal up the vent stack and was forcing the sewage smell to come back into the house at the only open location which was in the laundry room. Everything works fine right now but if we get those sewer gas smells again, we have to call out for another trip.

The webpage of AHS was easy to make the claim on because it had the exact criteria that I can select. The first claim I had was for rekeying the locks after moving in. It was straightforward. But I had a little bit of trouble locating the guy. He said he was going to come the same day but he never showed up. The next day, he came.
For my recent claim, I had a gas leak in the furnace. After the utility came out to shut off the gas I called American Home Shield and they sent out Brown Air Conditioning. The tech came out twice. The first time, he diagnosed it and realized it is a leak. It needed a part. Then, he came back about three days later and installed the part. Thank goodness it was fixed because we had a cold spell. This was the third time I've used American Home Shield. The second time, it was a total problem. AHS came with the house when I bought it. Now that I've used them, I would consider using them if I was selling or buying another house in the future.

I had an air conditioning problem and when I first submitted my claim with AHS, I told the person with whom I spoke with that it was an air conditioner issue and that it was about water dropping from the unit which is in the attic. But they assigned Mr. Rooter to me and I remembered that they work on plumbing. They don't have anything to do with air conditioning. So, I immediately called back and I spoke with someone else, who then assigned my claim to an air conditioning company. Then, the tech came out and from what this gentlemen told my husband, he was going tell AHS what needs to be done and from there, they'll do something. He said that AHS has to decide as to what steps going to be taken next. But nothing has been done right at this time.
Other than that, I've been very satisfied with my past experiences with AHS. One of them involved the stove that needed a control panel and the techs came out on that job on February the 2nd. I was told that the part would be in on the 18th and the job was completed last Thursday. I would like to have had more information from time to time with where we were because when I called back the next day after the 18th, I was told that the part was in and that someone would call us.

They said they'd have to look into it and they'd get back to us. It's been over a week but we haven't heard back from them.
The other claim we put in was for our heat that stopped working on the first floor. May Heating and Air came out and reset it. They're great. The unit was fine then it stopped working again. They came back out and figured out that it was shutting down because there was a problem with it and they needed a part. What they told us was AHS would order the part then once it would come in, they would come back out and do the work. But we haven't heard anything about that and it's been a week. The guy had called the supplier and the supplier said once they get the order, it should take 24 to 48 hours to get the part. It's taking a long time when I don't know that it should take that long.

He said it had a leak inside the walls and they couldn't repair it. American Home Shield gave me a choice. Either I take cash and buy a new one or I go to Lowe's and pick one out there. AHS sent an e-card to Lowe's and I went there and got a replacement refrigerator. They're supposed to deliver it tomorrow. With the warranty company I had before, it took me 95 days before I could get somebody out to check my refrigerator. It went through all my holidays. I couldn't cook for the family and it was terrible. But, that company didn't care. I dropped them as soon as I could and went to AHS. This is the best company and I would recommend them to anybody.

The heat went out and a tech came for it. Then the heat went out again about two weeks later. Somebody came, and it was a different item. Then the third time it went out, there was a different thing that they said that was wrong. Somebody came out three days ago and said that it needed the new part. The part’s in, so the repairman is coming in today to put it in. I used to call in claims to American Home Shield, but I've found that it's better now and quicker to do it online. Everyone that's come out here has been extremely professional and has been really nice.

The tech was here on time and he checked everything. He did the maintenance and changed the piece that he thought was the problem, and the problem was solved. With the other claim, because it was very cold when our heater broke, I turned out calling American Home Shield to speak with customer service to see if it could be quicker. But it was exactly also on the days that we had the storms so there wasn't much people could do. But at least, the people I spoke with were good. They were very responsive. The waiting time was not too long. They were trying to help. They even tried to contact other places. The two times I had to use American Home Shield, I'm very satisfied with the experience. It was a good surprise. I'm very happy with the choice we made.

The first time for our heating claim, the thermostat was changed but it was the end of winter. We turned the heater back on in the fall. Then we were having the same issues so we called AHS out again. This time, the technician was really great, clean, and nice. He went up in the attic, looked at the furnace, and found some corroded parts. Overall, AHS is good. I may just not use them in the future. They're getting pretty high priced.

My wife usually calls American Home Shield and make an appointment. For the most part, it's pretty pleasant. In the past we've had not so good people that American Home Shield sent out. But overall, they were not bad. We had furnace problems once and I offered the guy something to drink, just being kind, but then he turned around and declined it. Then he went in my refrigerator and got the drink anyway. But the tech that came out for the plumbing issue was very professional and respectable. We had a scheduled appointment later that day. I called him and asked if he could make it earlier. He said, “Absolutely. That’s even better for me.” That really impressed me. He came by and got in and out.
There was a time when we had a leaky pipe and the contractor that American Home Shield sent out said we had to tear a hole up in the kitchen to fix the pipe. There was a drainage pipe that cracked, and it was in the behind some cabinets. One of the plumbers went in there and said, “Look, this is what I’ll do. I’ll patch it.” So we spent 75 bucks to find out that at the time but they didn’t want to do the work. Then I talked to another guy and he said he would fix the pipe for 250 bucks, and that we didn't have to tear up our whole kitchen. Some of the people that American Home Shield sent out in the past made the job harder than it has to be and because I didn’t know any better, I couldn’t argue. But once I started educating myself, I realized they just didn’t want to do the work. Also, I hate to see the rate going up every month.

I've been an American Home Shield member for a year now. I needed some kind of peace of mind. If a major appliance were to break down, I have the warranty and it will cover the appliance. I like American Home Shield's website. It's pretty user-friendly. I did a claim through that when our thermostat was broken and was not working anymore. Techs came out to replace the thermostat. So far, American Home Shield has been very quick. The contractors usually show up the same day that I make the request. I don't usually have to wait very long.

We had a different coverage that was paid for by the previous homeowner and we didn't like them for whatever reason. We looked and found that American Home Shield had some decent ratings as compared to some of the others, so we went with them. On Thanksgiving Day, our stove started ticking and on its own, it made the sound that it makes when it's trying to light the pilot light. So, my husband unplugged the system, then we called AHS within the next week. A guy came out and took a look at it, then he said he would order some parts and be back out the next Friday. But we got the parts in pretty quickly within the week and he never came back that Friday.
So, I called and they said they never knew that I got the parts back. But I told them that nobody told me I was supposed to call and tell them that. And then, they said they didn't have any appointments available. So, I called a couple of times back to see if I could get an appointment to get the tech to come fix my stove. They told me the best they could do is the 1st of March, and this was back in January. Other than that, AHS has replaced my washing machine that died and that happened quickly.

The service of AHS was awful the last couple of years. We had a claim for our water heater. American Home Shield was gonna pay for the water heater, but not the $1,200 installation. So, we did that one ourselves and we put a water heater in for about $300. We also had a claim for our furnace. Budget Air said it had a cracked manifold or heat element, so it had to be replaced. We knew the furnace was over 25 years old. We knew it was time. But when we called up when it was reported to AHS, they told us we had to have some modifications done, which would have totaled over $1,200. By then, Budget was offering us a brand-new one, without any modifications to be done for $1,400. We went with that. So, we were denied the replacement of the furnace. But before, whenever we called AHS, things were done to our satisfaction.

I had some issues in our wall. The water was coming up into the first floor. Apparently, the plumbing started leaking. I called American Home Shield and their contractor came in. I had them take a look at it and they seemed to do a fine job. They had to come back though because we had to cut into the wall. They couldn't cut into the wall itself. The pipes are inside the wall so I had to have somebody come in, cut into the wall and remove all the spray foam that was along all the pipes. After that, the contractor came in, did the fix and left. It was about two weeks for the complete fix. But I was lucky I was having other work done at the same time. I was having a new roof put on and one of the guys was a guy that does that kind of subcontract work. I asked if he could cut it for me. He cut an opening in the wall on the inside and the outside and we were done.
The only issue I've had with American Home Shield was with them trying to find people to do the work on the home. I was trying to get a rekey done and they couldn't find anybody. I don't know how they figure out who they get to do the rekey. I already had somebody in the area that would do it for me but they didn't call them for some reason. Maybe they're not one of their subcontractors. Also, it sounded like these guys I've been talking to are from the Philippines and I'm not exactly sure they're prepared to call the right people in a local area in the U.S. If they're trying to search for people, it didn't seem like they were able to do it very well. But that was okay. I had already had it set up. They just had to approve it. Through their process of getting a subcontractor then reimbursing me, I was able to make it work.
I don't know if American Home Shield is gonna want me anymore. I've already had them out like five times and I've heard that sometimes they cancel you if you have people out too many times. But that's what they're for and I'm using the heck out of them. If you're buying a home that is over 10, 15 years old like ours, you better get a warranty because that's right when things start to break. Get a warranty that is at the highest level you can possibly get which is what I did - I got the highest level package from American Home Shield.

After writing this review the company reached out to me within 24 hours of my post. I couldn't believe that and was pleasantly surprised. The person I dealt with was extremely helpful in getting my primary problem resolved. Unfortunately for me this person doesn't have the authority to change contractors or any control over the way calls are routed. Based on my experience with this individual it has restored my faith in AHS.
Original Review: Feb. 16, 2021
I'm usually the kind of person that does not like to write reviews even after I've been cheated... But I've reached my limit!!! I can't do this anymore. So here it goes… I've had AHS (American Home Shield) for about a 15 years at different properties. At first I had wonderful service. This past winter I used them for my hot water heater and they put this as an expedited call as I have a person with a disability living with us. The technician that serviced my hot water heater wanted to charge an extra $250 because he said my tool chest was in the way, which it wasn’t. It is on wheels, and rolls very easily, so my wife moved it for him.
After diagnosing the problem he told that they would need authorization for the replacement. I called AHS to find out the status the next morning and was told that the authorization department doesn’t work on the weekends and that I should have an answer by mid week. I was forced to call another company to replace the hot water heater. When AHS finally got back to me with the authorization, I informed them that I was forced to take care of it myself due to the circumstances. They told me the authorization department would call and give a cash out price. That turned out to be half of the actual cost.
Now 2 months later my lower A/C unit (air conditioning) stopped working. I called AHS and they sent out one of their contracted A/C companies. They came out and diagnosed the problem and reported back to AHS. On 12/29/2020 they reported to AHS what the issue was. AHS did not accept their findings so they sent out a second contractor on 01/28/2021, which was Doctor Cool. When the technician showed up to look at unit, he told me what he found. Then then wrote his report which was different than what he had told me as well as make out right false claims that he was inside my home and his finding there as well. I contacted both the second company, Doctor Cool and AHS. I explained what happened. Doctor Cool ignored my complaint, and so did AHS.
AHS then denied my claim based on Doctor Cool's report. When I contacted AHS about getting a third party opinion, they told me they don't cover that and it be at my own expense. After I got an independent contractor, their finding was the same as the first company that AHS sent out. I then followed up with AHS, they told me they won't accept the independent report. They also refused to send out a third contractor of their choice stating they already sent out two and are accepting the second company's Doctor Cool's report at face value.
It appears that AHS has a history of using this company when they are trying to avoid paying a legitimate claim. I feel the level of service that AHS has provided has gone down in recent years. These two incidents are not the only occasions that we have encountered with AHS in getting them to pay for warranty items. Furthermore all these calls are routed to call centers outside the U.S. and will not transfer you to a U.S. based person or transfer you to their authorization department or an appeals department. So for a second time in two months I'm being forced to pay out of pocket for an item that is clearly covered in my contract with AHS and with limited avenues of recourse.

IF there were any in town to buy!! Extremely tired of being passed around and being told NO ONE has the ability to get us with a supervisor.
We do appreciate you sharing your feedback and providing your experience thus far. We do apologize for the delay in the repairs related to the HVAC system and would be more than happy to assist with a resolution. My name is Robert and I will be assisting you further.

I had no heat and it took American Home Shield about three weeks to figure the problem out. I wasn't happy with it. I called in that Sunday and the technician came out Wednesday. I love him. He did an excellent job. But American Home Shield was telling me that the technician didn't send back my update to them. So, I got ahold of the technician and he told me that they sent it to American Home Shield that same night. So American Home Shield had it. Then they told me that whoever had to sign off on it was out of town. I was told that there was carbon dioxide leaking in my house and we had to go through that. I’ve never been late for my payment and I shouldn’t have to go through that. It was just unprofessional.
Thanks for sharing your warranty experience. My name is Stacy and I have just sent you an email as I would like to contact you in an effort to assist with a resolution.

I had a leak from the hot water heater. Water was running on outside. The tech came out to look at it. It took about 30 minutes to decide what it needed. He had to order a valve, and then he came back within the next three days. It took him less than an hour to put it on. Everything was fine. The claims process was pretty good. I would recommend American Home Shield for that.
Thanks for sharing you experience and thanks for recommending us.

The tech got the work done very quickly and that was very nice. There was one other problem and I asked him if I had to make another request through him. He asked what it was and I showed him. He said that he could do it. He reached down in the tub and fixed it within 30 seconds. I've only had one problem and American Home Shield sent me a check and told me to go pick something myself. So that worked out fine. I’ve had them for several years and I have a request to call them again. We're remodeling the kitchen and the water is not slowing down.
We really appreciate you taking time to share your warranty experience. We look forward to handling your future AHS needs. Have an amazing week.

I was recommended to AHS by my sister who had a number of issues in her house and they were all addressed. She was happy. I am happy too and I have also referred them. Recently, the heat wasn't coming up. It kept shutting off. I couldn't feel any air coming through the vents and the house was cold. I called AHS and a very nice, young man came out. He checked various things on there. After he tested it a couple times, it would go on and then shut off. He saw that the fan would go on then off so it would overheat. He had to go about a half an hour away then come back. It was super cold out and he had to work late to finish it because he didn't want us to spend the weekend without heat.
It was my second call with that furnace and everything seemed to go smooth. The first time they came out, it was a different guy. He changed the part and showed me a few little things. It didn't work because what he changed wasn't the fan, the thing that pushes the air out. He fixed one thing that was wrong but not the other. He tested the fan and it went on momentarily but he didn't leave it on long enough. It did take two times, one week apart, but they were very prompt, came back and remedied it.
Thank you for sharing your recent experiences with us. We are happy that we were able to get the issue resolved for you and we look forward to our continued business together. Have a great day.

I had an issue with a socket beside my sink and AHS told me that their contractor would be out within 24 hours. The techs were very nice. But, I did a different claim for my cooktop stove and I'm having trouble with it. AHS told me it would be six to eight weeks to get a part for that or maybe they wouldn't be able to find a part at all. I also had a claim for my garage door which AHS didn't fix as we weren't covered. The tech for that claim told me some other companies to go with because AHS was known for taking their time and trying to find the least expensive part. That almost got us in trouble with our pool pump which was evidently old. AHS had to find a part and we had to wait. The techs have said that some of the other warranty companies are quicker and they would get my issue fixed. They’re not going to hunt around for two months to find a part. That disappoints me and I've found what the techs have said to be true for the claim on my stove.
Thanks for your loyalty. Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. We are working diligently to improve the overall member experience and we look forward to our continued business together. Have a great day.

AHS came with the property that we purchased and we decided to extend it one more year because we liked the idea of it. However, I had submitted a claim online but I never got any update of where I was in the process. They just left it open. It was just pending. I had to call to move it along forward. They could provide more of a feedback to anybody submitting claim online that somebody is looking at it or somebody is expected to look at it in a certain time frame.

Our sink was getting clogged up. Kremer Plumbing came out and had it done within an hour. It’s pretty nice that we didn't have to spend a bunch of money to get that fixed. We also filed a claim for our garage door. The techs came and took care of it easily. It’s easy to make a claim with AHS. It's nice to be able to do it after business hours because you never know what's going to happen.

Mr. Rooter did a really good job. The technician that came out was extremely professional. He came out at the time that he said he would, and gave me notice that he was about to arrive. When I was away, I was able to get back to the house and be here when he was here. He identified the problem immediately and was able to make the necessary repair. He kind of spoke to us in regards to other things we could look for in kind of reviewing the equipment. So it was a very positive experience.
When I submitted the claim, I attempted to go online, but at that time, American Home Shield was having difficulty with the website. It was saying that my service wasn't allowing me to contact that particular website. So I had to make a phone call. But they were pretty prompt. They don't keep you holding on for a really long time. Because if they're overloaded, they alert you that, “The call volume is greater than normal. And we can give me the option to receive a call back from them.” So that's what I chose to do because it was heavy volume, and I got tired of listening to that music. Then they called me back on my cell phone. So it was a pretty good process.
Thanks for letting us know how everything is going so far. Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with your experience up to this point. We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Take Care.

I had a problem with my furnace and I called AHS for a service request, which is easier for me to do than to submit a claim online. Then, the techs came out and they were wonderful. Since the repair, the heater has been working fine.

I had an eye that was not working on my stove top, and also the stove top had a crack. My washing machine was also filling up with water when it was not being used. I did a claim then to American Home Shield. It was very quick. As soon as I submitted the claim within the next day, I received a phone call that it had been received and that the person that was handling it would check my schedule, so that they could come out to assess the problem.
The contractor was very easy to work with as far as scheduling. He was very easy to access as far as when I missed his call, I was able to call the number back and actually speak to a person. He made the process very seamless because he was very accessible. He did mention that I would probably have to replace the hose that’s attached to my washing machine. I kinda felt like, “Well, let's go ahead and do that while you're here, rather than starting the process again.” But I do realize he was here to fix one problem with the washing machine, not necessarily several problems, and that's it. But I felt like we could have done that all in one.

The dishwasher wasn’t cleaning. Things were going in but they were coming out even dirtier than they were. So we had a person come out and he fixed it. He moved the screw from one place to another, and then he told me to use some special kind of cleaner that I had to buy from Home Depot and that did the trick.
