BRM services came out for my oven. I have an older one and it needed parts replaced. However, they weren't able to find the parts. They had somebody fix it, and then repair the part that I currently have, and then bring that part back and reinstall it. It's been working okay. Recently, my refrigerator and freezer were not working properly. But then, the person that came out wanted a second opinion, so someone else is coming out in a few days.
Thanks for letting us know how everything is going so far. Taking care of our customers 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.

AHS's tech looked at my old microwave. He looked it up and found that the manufacturer didn't make the needed parts anymore. He said I needed a new one and talked to American Home Shield. He said AHS authorized a new microwave so I picked one out online and he installed it. I talked. I'm pleased with AHS. When my husband passed away, I bought the policy with them because I don't know anything. I got them so when I have something go wrong, they could either fix or replace it. My experience with them has been perfect.
Our main objective is to provide exceptional service and a quick resolution to all of your home warranty needs. Your feedback regarding your recent experiences with us is greatly appreciated. We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Take Care.

It was very easy to submit my claim. I just submit it online, click through, and check boxes. The service was easy to get scheduled. The tech was professional and did the job in a timely manner. Everything has run really smoothly. But if you're calling in, there's a long wait time to speak with a representative. Other than that, the customer service is great. I like the different varieties of plans. As far as setting up my account, everything was smooth, quick, and simple. As far as everything that the representative told me from the beginning when I first signed up, I have received that service.
We appreciate you taking time to share your warranty experience. We look forward to handling your AHS needs. Have an amazing week.

B-N-K got cancelled because they said they couldn't come until Tuesday. Then American Home Shield sent out Emergency Plumbing. The guy came out, sat in the utility room, ripped out the insulation. After taking the tube pinch covers off that cover where the pilot window is under the hot water heaters, walked out to my septic tank, and said, “You got a carpet in here and there's CO2 cartridges in there,” which were not.
There were tampon dispensers and kids’ wipes that were supposed to be disposable and washable. And the long story short, he said, “You need to get your septic drained, and then I'll come back.” He thought it was a big freaking joke, and he was laughing. And then I called up and said, “Hey, I've got the company coming.” But this guy, he already marked that he closed out the account. And I was like, “What do you mean he closed it out? He didn't even do anything. He told me I gotta get my septic drained.”
So, then AHS sent out the third company. It was two nice young gentlemen. They rooted the whole house, but they didn't run the water after they did that from all the different faucets. So, we had a backup a second time. And then we called them right back. They came right back and they took care of it. And we've been good to go since. Our water heater tanks are fine. They were great. We would use them again.
I tell everyone to get a warranty with AHS. I sell warranties for a living for RVs and cars for 20 years. I’ve always used AHS as a selling tool. Because I pay 75 bucks a month and then when something goes wrong, I pay them 75. And I like being able to be able to go to work and then my wife calls and they take care of it.
Last time, I heard the first one that AHS sent out, and I was like, “Didn't they come out to my house once before?” When they put in the two hot water heaters, those guys tried charging me 550 to bring it up to code according to them. So, I had to get a second opinion, and AHS had to do a cashout. The guy came in and, for 1,400 bucks, put in two hot water heater tanks and said, “You were perfectly up to code.” If they don’t wanna do business with you, they're not happy with what AHS pays them out as retail booked hours or labor hours, then they should just not do business with AHS.
I just had a problem with the air conditioner. It's gonna be eleven below zero on Monday, that's why we're not worried about the air conditioner. But the guy came out, he said, “Your unit’s 30 years old. It keeps popping the breaker. It's probably a bad compressor. I'm gonna put in for a new AC unit.” Next thing, they went, "They're putting in for a new AC unit," and no one called me for two weeks while I was in Tampa. I was in Jacksonville, Florida. And all of a sudden, I got back. So, I went, “I don't want this to go by the wayside when it gets hot again. What? Are we gonna be screwed with no AC?” They were like, “Oh, they said you did a cashout.” I went, “What are you talking about? You guys said you were gonna put a compressor in, and I said I didn't understand why you wanna put $800, $900 in for a compressor.”
And then they want me to pay $500 for Freon, because the old units, it's expensive Freon. It's about $80 a pound. I said, “If I was gonna put 500, and you guys are gonna put 800, 900, why don't we put that towards a new unit? And I'll pay the difference and put in a brand-new unit.” Because AHS sells parts. But I didn't realize they don't sell ACs and heaters. They only sell ovens and refrigerators and dishwashers for the kitchen.
Then when I asked why they didn't cover an air conditioning unit replacement, they said because the tech from the company AHS sent out only put in for a compressor. I was like, "I'm telling you, I wouldn't lie to you guys. I've watched out for you guys and told you when my parts started working again, to cancel service and not have them come out and pay for it even though these companies were telling you guys to pay." AHS has told me in the past when it was my icemaker for the second time in one year, “Well, if the guy tells us it’s fine, we're gonna still replace it.” I was like, “Why would he tell you it's not fine? He doesn't get paid to not replace it.” So, I did what AHS told me, and I appreciate them replacing it a second time but it was still working. And he said, “Well, it's defective. It's going on and off.” I was like, “Okay. You know better than me.”
I called AHS. And they said, “Well, if you were to put in for an AC ‘cause it's 30 years old, we would’ve put in a new unit.” I called his employer. They were like, “Yeah. He just told us it needed a compressor.” I said, “I swear to God on my kid, I should get struck down right now, this guy looked at me eye to eye and said, 'You need a new AC.'” And he said, “I'm gonna put in for it, but I'm gonna tell you, they're probably gonna just give you a compressor.” And then all of a sudden, AHS said, “Well, that's all they put in, so that's all we can cover.” Meanwhile, now I don't have a compressor. And when it gets hot out here again, my AC would not work. I asked about the cashout. So, they told the company that they're not doing the compressor, and they returned the part.
I was told by AHS, they document, they will not charge me the service call. Just call when the weather breaks. Because even if he did replace the compressor, it still has to be over 50 degrees for them to charge it. And then I was also told that it's $500 to charge it. But even if I pay the charging fee and he puts the compressor, and if it’s still not fixing it because the whole system is shot, somebody said they would reimburse me the money for the $500 freon. Then I talked to the third person a day later at AHS. They were like, “Yeah. That's not accurate.” Overall, I've never had a problem until the last year or two. But other than that, we have given AHS seven grand in seven years, and they have probably paid out five grand. We're still okay with that. Maybe even they broke even.

When I called in the claim for my heater, everything went smooth. There was no long wait on the phone. The tech was knowledgeable. He checked everything with his meter, and showed that everything was up to par. All three wires to the element was where it should be. He also showed me everything about the voltage and where they're supposed to be. American Home Shield has been good to me. It used to be a three-hour wait to get a hold of them, but it was only because everybody was at home. It's a little better now.

The contractor came out the same day I spoke with them to replace the pulley on my Samsung dryer that stopped spinning. The belt broke. They had to come back out because it was getting too hot after they repaired that part. What happened was there was a wire that was kinda exposed. Once they fixed that, everything was working fine. They were very professional and well-knowledgeable. American Home Shield kept their word. You can expect that the problem will be resolved and that they will be professional. Given the current COVID situation, they'll be very cognizant of that making sure they're taking precaution to keep you safe and keep themselves safe.

I had a claim for the garbage disposal, and another one for the water heater. When the tech came, I was on a meeting call, so I just let him in the door and showed him where the stuff was. He did the garbage disposal but we're still waiting for the water heater. He hasn't done that yet. I've tried calling him about four times, and I kept getting no response. When I look at the service request through AHS, it just says wait and that equipment was ordered. Overall, AHS has decent low-quality parts and service, but they've got the job done.

The water wouldn’t turn off on the shower and the tub. The repair guy figured out that my water pressure was way too high. So, he’s going to come out and put a water pressure regulator on it. If I have one, American Home Shield will cover and if I don’t, then I’ll have to pay for it. But so far, everything that I've had done with American Home Shield has been great. The only problem I have with them is it's so hard to get someone on the phone. It's almost impossible. I went through their phone tree and there was no option to talk to a person. So, I finally pressed for billing and maybe that would give me a person. It did and the person was very helpful and helped me get to where I needed to go. Submitting claims is very simple. On the AHS website, you just tell them what your problem is and if it's not listed like mine, I put “Other.” When the plumber called me, he asked me what was going on and I told him.

We weren't getting any heat in our oven. We called American Home Shield and they sent a company out. Their guy came and did a genius thing. He was a good guy. He tested the oven and found out what the problem was. It was an element. He didn't have the element with him and those are not easy to come by so it took a few days. When the element was in, the guy came and fixed the oven. He did a good job and we're happy with it.
We mostly had good experiences with American Home Shield but we had a couple that were really bad. Some of it wasn't their fault. It was the person that they put the job out to. It became a real fiasco. That was a couple of years ago and we weren't sure what we were gonna do. We looked around at other places and when we looked into the other contracts, we weren't really getting what they advertised. We went back to American Home Shield. They cut one of our prices down. And since then, everything has been pretty good.

The techs from Custom Climate Professionals looked at things and figured out what was wrong. It turned out that the problem was not the hot water heater. They looked at it and knocked on it, then they figured out that the pressure canister was full of water instead of air. They called the insurance company and got permission to replace it. They were out of here for 40 minutes picking up the part then they came back and fixed it. Everything is wonderful now and I would hire them again.
I have AHS on two of our houses and I like them because they're reliable. By the time everything is done, the amount that I paid for the insurance is negated by the benefits I get. With them, things get done and I don't have to worry about trying to find a plumber or a heater or a repairman. I pay $75 for labor and that's it. The process is very simple. Aside from that, when I would call them, they would put me down and it may take an hour or so before I would hear back. But for my last claim, I told them it was really important because I had a heating problem as well on another case. I asked them if they could possibly move my claim to the front and they said they would. It was very cold out at the time and they got somebody out here to fix the issue within hours.

The water heater didn't heat. Sometimes, it would turn off completely then, we have to wait hours. We Googled things to deal with it and it’d turn back on but it was not something consistent. We submitted a claim with AHS and we told the tech who came out about that. We also told him that the water was brown and he said that the heater was rusted. But there was no way of him looking in there to know it was rusted or not. I also know for a fact that the unit is intact and there's no rust around it. For instance, when I wash my clothes, I wash it with cold water and the reason I know that the water is brown with hot water is because sometimes, I can smell it in the shower. And secondly, when I put a white comforter in my washer, it turned orange from the brown water that was coming out of it.
I don't know what exactly the tech did and that's what I'm going to look for when they're coming again. I want to make sure that I'm here because the one before him that came didn't do one thing. He only told us that it was the ventilation. But the heater was ventilated, so it's not the ventilation. And the room has a shuttered door and it's in the basement. Then, he said to kind of play back and forth with it. So now, it's not consistent in terms of going on or off. You have to play with this thing and I'm afraid that if it's having troubles like this, it's going to burst in my basement.
Other than that, I've had two really good plumbers with AHS while the other ones didn't really look at the problem and they just made up ideas of what to do. Then, they would call me later to tell me that my insurance company wouldn't cover the work but they'd be able to do it at a discounted price. But I told them no thanks. Despite that, AHS has helped me in other ways and I don't think they're terrible. Sometimes, I'd call there and I couldn't understand what their reps were saying to me. But they were trying their best. It's just that I don't think they understand me, so that's a problem sometimes. All in all, I've had really good experiences with AHS and the persons that they sent out handled everything right away, which was beautiful. So, I'm satisfied with them.

We have two heating systems. I turned the one downstairs off at night 'cause we were upstairs. When I went up to turn on the other system, it was recycling funny or it wasn't going on. There was something wrong with our heating system so we had a technician from Air Plus come over. The issue happened during a cold spell that we had and the temperature was down in the 30s that day. The Air Plus tech explained that if the temperature was extremely cold, sometimes it would take a while for the heater to warm it up. The technician checked everything out.

My first claim got denied. The guy that diagnosed the microwave said that a roach walked on the motherboard and that caused it to fry. American Home Shield said it's not covered because of that.

I have two issues - one was leaking and the other was I was having a hard time consistently getting hot water distributed through the house. The latter is still an issue so I have to re-engage with AHS. I'm not real happy about my water heater situation. Some claims with AHS have been easier than others. When I think something needs to be replaced, they don't. They're more willing to fix than replace which for certain things and in particular with our water heater, there's a diminishing return. It's 20 years old. It's well beyond life expectancy. They won't address the root issue so we keep putting a Band-Aid on it versus fixing it. It creates more time and energy for me. Now, I gotta call them and get them back out and I don't want to have to fight and advocate for things.
I’d much prefer to deal with AHS online because their customer service staff is incompetent. It's like I'm speaking to someone from a foreign country who's reading a template. That's a real frustration. I had to get my oven fixed and they asked me what room in the house it was in. I was like, “Seriously? Where is an oven normally at?” I was being catty there. I don't know where their customer service staff is but the people usually lack a real understanding of the challenges and the problems in the household.

I was very pleased with Foxcroft HVAC. The guy was very professional and he kept his mask on. I went downstairs to see what he was doing and he explained to me what was going on and what had to be replaced. He did his job and then he left. I'm totally satisfied. I made a phone call to American Home Shield when I made the claim and it didn't go as smooth as I would like for it to. I requested them not to have a certain contractor come out to my house because I wasn't getting along with them and I don't think they wanted to deal with me from another experience with AHS.

I put in a claim for a heat pump this 27th and Home Shield sent somebody to look at it. The person who came said the heat pump was not fixable. We would have to completely replace it. Home Shield didn't like that answer so they wanted to look for another opinion. But they didn't find anybody around here that works with them. They called me and asked me to find one by myself because they needed another estimate. I did and they still didn't like it. They are still looking for another opinion. Home Shield called the guy who came and he gave them another estimate. It's the third opinion already. We called Home Shield yesterday and they said they are still looking. Meanwhile, we are here waiting until they decide something. All the rooms are cold. We have little heaters in the rooms but those are not enough.
The heat pump broke last year too and it was the same thing. The guy who came said we needed to replace it. The unit is old and it's gonna keep breaking. Home Shield didn't like that and they sent another person from two hours away. They put a new Freon and did something. But it wasn't really fixed because it was making a lot of noise and the temperature was going up. I had the temperature set up at 60 all the time, day and night. And the heater by itself went up to 70, 72 so I had to keep resetting all the time and turning it on and off. I called the people who came here to do the repair and they never answered my calls. I called Home Shield too and we never resolved that issue. Last year, we went a month and a half without heating. This time, we're already two weeks in.

I was having problems with cooling the house. The tech that AHS sent out flushed the AC and it started working again. The service was good, so we were happy. But I'm not happy with AHS. I've been shopping and I'm considering moving from them. Every year, the cost goes up and the service isn't good. You can't talk to someone live. I've been pricing it around and I've been able to find the same $75 co-pay for when someone comes in. I've also been able to find it for $65 a month versus the 80-something that they're charging and I could talk to someone live. They offered me a much lower price than what I'm paying for the same exact coverage and that is upsetting.
Aside from that, when I made the phone call to AHS about a year ago, I told them that I was having a problem with my plumbing in the bathroom. They brought someone out here and the guy said that the work was not covered under my insurance, but AHS would still charge $75. So, I had to pay the full price to the plumber and the $75. I was very upset with that because AHS didn't tell me that it wasn't a covered benefit and that's the problem with not being able to speak to someone live. I would have just called the plumber that I knew if I would have known it wasn't covered. And I paid twice as much as what I would have paid if I would have called in a plumber. Other than that, I've asked AHS to elevate so many of my concerns and they didn't take any of the things that I've said into consideration. But I believe that they need to know how to make their service better because what they don't know, they can't fix.

All four furnace burners would start up to flame but we started noticing that it would turn off sometimes. After about four hours of running, it would just cut off. We had to go in the basement and hit a reset switch to make it come back on. But it started becoming a problem because if it would go off while we were asleep, it would be really cold in the morning when we wake up. We wanted that taken care of, so it could stop doing that.
The technician was very nice and professional. He opened it, and dusted the part off, and closed it. He said that should help with the problem. The dust probably was keeping it from staying on. He also said that it was in good working order and it was just that it was cutting off. He told me that something was cooling off and that was fine. But I was really bothered and I wasn't comfortable, so I called Home Shield back and they sent another technician from another company. The unit kept cutting off sometimes in the middle of the day or late in the evening, but at night, when it cut off, the temperature would drop tremendously.
When the second guy came out, he said the problem could be an ignition that was going bad. He said it needed an ignition. He showed it to us and he said he was gonna put it on. Then he asked us if someone was tampering with our unit because he said it looked like someone had been tampering with it. We told him no one has been tampering with it because when the other guys from the other company came, we were right here. They just opened it, dusted it off, and left. So he did something and all the flames went out except for one. When he put the ignition on, it was only one flame. We asked him how did it go from four flames to one flame if it could be the ignition and he put it on? He said, “Hold on. Let me try something.” He did something, and it started working, and he left. But 15 minutes later, it didn't work at all.
He also said we had to call the gas company because there wasn't enough gas going into the furnace. My husband said, “How isn't there enough gas going into the furnace when it was four burners lit when you got here? And now, it's nothing.” He then said, “Y'all have to call the gas come in and get some pressure at it.” We did that and the gas company told us straight out when he came out that he was tampering with some things that he wasn't supposed to touch. At this point, my heat is still out. I wouldn't recommend Home Shield to anyone unless they fix my problem because they know what's going on. I'm very dissatisfied because we've been without heat for over a week, and the temperature has been really low and we've been having to use a heater in our oven, and that's dangerous. It's gonna make our electric bill really high.

There was a clogged line which was causing a leak in the bathroom. We filed a claim with AHS and it was really easy. Then, the tech came out and he was very professional.

One morning, we woke up and the air conditioning was five degrees below what the setting was. The tech said that he wasn’t able to find anything that would be the cause of the problem. He told us to see what happens and told us to submit another claim if it doesn't correct the problem. They’ll come back out and check it again.
We’re still waiting for a resolution on our claim for the refrigerator. We reported an issue to American Home Shield on the 12th of November and every time I call, someone would say that they would call back within 48 hours and have it resolved. Then, no one calls and a week later, I would call again and get the same. It’s frustrating at this point. We've been using ice chests since. I was told that the part wasn't available anymore. I said from the very beginning that I could get it on Amazon the next day and that didn't seem to resonate with them. I finally ordered the part that it needed last week and got it the next day from Amazon and replaced it. The refrigerator is working great since then. It was unacceptable for someone to wait two and a half months, so far, with a non-functional refrigerator.
American Home Shield is not very consumer-friendly. I had one situation where I've called and I was on hold for three hours on the phone. Every time I talk to someone, they would tell me that I was going to get a call and they hope I would rate them a five because this isn't about the company, this is about their service. I've never gotten a call. So, I never get anyone that I'm supposed to rate, which is perfectly fine. The people are always very nice. I understand that they're in another country and they have a limited amount of things they can do. But as a whole, the long waiting time was unacceptable. In the one issue we had with our air conditioning, the contractor was out five times before we finally got it resolved. So, my feeling is not so great.

I thought I had a thermostat issue so I called AHS and put in a request. Sunbelt Electric came in, looked at it, and said they couldn't service it. They said they would resubmit it for an HVAC company. So that had to be the air conditioning people, not electrician. Overall, AHS doesn't always choose the best contractors. I live in Phoenix and I had an air conditioning issue in the middle of summer. My air went out and it was 120 degrees. The person they contacted went at five days before they could come out. But there are people here that work 24/7. So they don't contract with the best quality people. They go with the lowest-rated people.

There was a problem with the heater. There was some electrical components that were causing it to fail to produce heat. I had called American Home Shield up.

They seemed to be understanding and treated me professionally and courteously.
The service by Urban Enterprises was fine. They let me know when they were showing up. The first person that came by at night said, "I can get your heat working, but there's still an issue. It's too dark outside. I can't really see everything that's going on with the outside compressor or condenser." He came back the next afternoon. The heater is responsive to the thermostat.

There was another company that came for the stove and they said that they couldn't fix it. I called American Home Shield back and requested Abbott's Appliance Parts. They have come here before for my refrigerator and my stovetop, and I love them. They look at the issue and try to figure it out. The company that looked at the stove before Abbot was the same company that came for my dishwasher. I recorded it and showed him. I said, "This is the noise it makes." He said, "No, I have to hear it." I showed him not only the sound but also the actual dishwasher. He said, "Nope, I have to hear it." I said, "It happens in the cycle. We need to stay here for 45 minutes while my dishwasher is going." But he left after five minutes so I paid $100 for nothing. I went in and fixed it myself. I cleaned everything out including the filter. I figured it out and it was something that was stuck in there. He didn't even bother looking at it.
I would recommend AHS. I've had other home warranties and they were horrible. AHS is my third one and it is probably the best that there is. When I need someone to come in, I make a phone call and within a day or two, I get someone here. The wait time is very short. They are pricier but they do cover more. I just wish the limits were higher and my freezer was covered. We have high-end appliances. My refrigerator was leaking and it was $8,000 to replace it. They only covered $3,000. The problem is in order for me to get my 3,000 back, I have to buy the refrigerator first. I asked them, "Can you send me the check and I'll submit the invoice? I don't have $8,000 to lay out." They said I have to buy it first so I'm sitting with a $3,000 credit. It's been over a year 'cause I'm trying to save money up.

The contractors that American Home Shield hire are great. They've been very upfront and honest with me. The service has been pretty decent so far. But the amount of coverage that I'm getting is underwhelming. I got issues with several things in the house. The sinks were the easy parts. But my toilet in the master bathroom, they actually had to do some deconstruction to fix the flange on there and the same thing with the other bathroom. But American Home Shield would not cover it. It's a lesson. Right now, I have pretty much band-aids especially the one in my master bathroom. The only way to actually fix it is to have the tiles taken out and the whole thing has to be redone. Also, my hot water tank wasn't installed properly but then they let me know that what I want to have them do is not covered. It's upsetting me that they don't cover that stuff.

I kept saying, “Should I follow up with Home Shield?” They said, “Well, if you want.” I ended up following up with Home Shield and I explained the situation. They said, “Oh, we actually have the request for the part. We put them on order. They should be here in a few days. You can check back with us in a few days.” I did and the parts came in. A guy came out, repaired it, and it was fine.
The person who came was great. He was a young kid. He was very kind.

American Home Shield accepted my payment very quickly but the speed to get somebody out here to fix the dishwasher that was not powering up is extremely slow. I did the claim on Thursday and they're not coming until Monday or Tuesday. I did another claim two or three weeks ago for the washing machine. It was not draining and not turning on. I was kind of happy with the company that fixed it but it took us approximately six months to get it fixed and at least four visits, one from another company that I told American Home Shield that I didn't want them to come back out again. They've been here three times and it was still not working. The last time, it kind of worked for just enough time for me to have 30 days elapse so I had to call in for another trouble ticket for the same problem. I had to pay another $75 so that was kind of aggravating.
I'd like to have the ability to call and have something done. There's a break down between getting qualified repair people and I don't know if American Home Shield just contracted with the cheapest people they could find. Some of them are extremely qualified and some of them I don't even want in my house anymore. I don't know if they just do a dartboard then they just shoot and select who by random that they come out to have service. There's also a break down of follow-up as to how was the job done other than maybe a little two-minute survey which doesn't always happen.
American Home Shield has their benefits but they have some weaknesses in the way that they handle business. It's not a first class, best of practices operation but it is what it is and I pay for it and I accept it. Also, their website is short of atrocious. It's almost like they got some high school kids together and develop their website for them.

We submit the requests for our tenant and we make payments. So I'd like to speak to somebody live from American Home Shield to let them know the contact number that they were supposed to call and that they had to make arrangements with the tenant. In that sense, at least you can talk to somebody and you can have an opportunity to explain. Either way, it doesn't seem to work out. I always get the call from the vendor and then I have to tell to call the tenant. But now, it's all automated when you call. For someone like me that's dealing with a tenant, their automated system is for the birds. I can't convey anything that I want to convey as a landlord. So there's no point. You can't explain anything so you may as well submit the claim online.
There are vendors on American Home Shield's list that probably should not be on that list because of misdiagnosis. I dealt with one vendor during a transition of having a tenant moved out. That vendor went out and said something wasn't covered based on what they found to be the problem. I looked at my policy and saw that it should be covered. I talked to American Home Shield and they ended up saying that they would have to get a second person out there. If it was my personal residence, the whole process of trying to get that secondary person wouldn't have been an issue. But when you have tenants in place, it's a little bit different.
The second opinion was free. But if the tenant doesn't meet with that person in the wintertime when there's no issue with the AC, then they have to call back and do another service call, pay the 75 bucks ‘cause it's over time, and then they give you a totally different assessment and they will just do a Freon thing and they'll say that it's good to go. But it was nothing that the first vendor said. So the vetting system that American Home Shield use should be looked at because that vendor, I would not use ever again on a call because of incompetence in what they did. I don't recommend American Home Shield.

The guy from Rekey Xpress was very friendly, professional quick and very efficient. I would use them again. I did the claim online to American Home Shield and it was somewhat easy. What I didn’t like was that when I said I needed my house rekeyed and it was confirmed, there was no timing sent out. There was nothing about scheduling an appointment or who was gonna come out. It felt like a dead end. Also, I got a text message saying that something was scheduled at 1:00 AM with a different company that ended up coming out. So there seemed to be a glitch in the system. Bur everything has been fine since the rekeying.
In our old house, we used a different home warranty company which was not very good. My husband did some research and American Home Shield is the biggest so we gave them a try. They seem to get good reviews and utilize quality contractors because at our old company, they used C, D, and even F players that would come out.

My fridge stopped cooling. The technician came in and found the issue, and he replaced the thermostat. He was out of here in about 30 minutes. I'm delighted. This is the second time that I've used American Home Shield. The first time was with a washer/dryer, and it turned out that it was a fairly simple problem too. The exhaust vent had been plugged up. So, the guys came out and they spent about 30 minutes too. So there were two minor issues and they were both handled well.

I have a rental condo out in Bullhead City and it's far away from where I live. I need to have things fixed immediately when they go bad. One time, the heater went out and I filed a claim with Home Shield online. I didn't hear anything back, so I called and talked to a representative that let me know what was going on. They tried to get somebody out, but they didn't have the equipment or were unable to get onto the roof of this place to deal with the heat pump. Home Shield got ahold of another company. When I talked to the company. They gave me the number and I called them and we set up the appointment.
The company that came was outstanding. They were out there within the day and fixed it the same day. They said the unit needed a new motor and replaced it. My tenant said everything is working right. Also, the guy I talked to was professional, very knowledgeable, and knew exactly what the deal was. In fact, I'll use them for any problems in the future. They were that good.

My experience for my recent claim was pleasant. Everything worked like it should. The only problem was we live in Milan, Tennessee and the company that was assigned to us was from Ripley, Tennessee which is approximately 60, 70 miles away and is too far. I called the company in Milan that generally handles the stuff here. He said there had been a problem because he was not getting phone calls from American Home Shield. They had inadvertently dropped him off of scheduling for a while. But all it took was a phone call to get it resolved. They were able to secure him back for our local service. I trust that man more than anybody else. We've had American Home Shield for probably 15 years and we've had a good experience with them through the years.

Our water heater busted. It happened at 11:30 at night. I went to the AHS website and submitted the claim. Then I got an email and a text telling me that the claim had been submitted, who the contractor was and the contact information for them. I called that service the following day. I was a little nervous because there is no address or a website. I could not find the business online which made me worried about what kind of business is it. It doesn't even have an online presence in today's day and age.
I called the company and let them know I was trying to look them up online. A guy called me back within the hour and said that he should be out there that day. He was trying to say that if they would have been a bigger company, then it probably would have been three or four days before anybody could get out to me. He was trying to sell himself ‘cause I think a bigger company would also have some more people to handle more business. I don't think any business would let somebody be without water for three days. But the guy was professional and quick. He answered all my questions and it went great. Luckily, it wasn't the entire tank. It was just the smaller tank attached to the top with some heat expanse tank so I was lucky in that regard.

The website worked well. I just have a problem with the people that American Home Shield sends me to. Before, usually it has taken two to three days to get an appointment with the contractor that AHS sent out. But not with this particular company. They were the fastest compared to others. AHS also responded fast. They responded via text, which really works for me. They gave me a time window almost immediately, and then the guy was really nice too. In all services, once the contractor was able to make it to my home, they have all been excellent.
I prefer not to call because it takes forever to get someone on the phone. I've learned to just do it online because it's so easy to do it online. But then, I've been charged twice for the same service because I started initially online, and then I had issues. So, started initially with a call, and then I just got frustrated so I decided to do it online. But I was issued the credit.
However, I don't know if I'm gonna renew, only because sometimes it takes too long from when AHS issues out a particular contractor, and then that contractor showing up. I would probably have more control over how fast a contractor gets to my house if I didn't have to go through AHS. The wait took 72 hours before. And in some instances, you can't take 72 hours. You have to get someone here immediately.

The technician came for the air conditioning unit that was leaking, checked it out and was in in a matter of five minutes. He told my husband he had to submit something to the company and see if it’d be approved. He had to get a part and he would try to get back in contact with us by Monday. I got an email Monday. I called and AHS said due to the limitations, they couldn't resolve my issue. The technician said that it was clogged up due to hair or mildew. I don’t know how hair could get in in an air conditioning unit.
I called back the same day 'cause I was very upset. It was a different person but it was the same thing. There were limitations. I called back a third time and asked for a supervisor but never got one. I got somebody at their Escalations Team. He explained and said the same thing. I said I was not satisfied with the service at all. He said, “What we can do is send another technician out there. We won’t charge you the upfront fee. But if he comes back with the same diagnosis, we will have to charge you.” That makes no sense.

Filing a claim on the telephone is nearly impossible. Oftentimes, you need to call to tell them what's going on with your claim. It’s terrible. They take forever to answer the telephone lately.

They gave a heads up call before they came out and showed up when they said they would. They were professional, clean and very knowledgeable. They were efficient in their time and mine. They fixed it just fine but they are having to come back ‘cause something didn't end up right.
AHS has a sweet spot of the business part of it. Someone there knows what to do. It seems like it’s getting pricey for the normal but they have probably identified exactly what that cost is for them to charge for folks coming out. I used to look at it as a great deal. I was going to sea a lot and it made it easier for my wife to know that she was gonna get not ripped off by a contractor. The price was something where I didn't have any qualms about calling up for something.

My only thing with American Home Shield is that when dealing with their phone staff, it can be really hard to understand them because they seem to be based in the Philippines so their English is rather accented. It’s so hard to communicate at times.

I sent a claim over the phone an the level of professionalism was good. But it takes up to an hour most times to get in touch with somebody. We have had some problems before with some of their technicians, but this recent one was really good. I've run into issues with either getting in touch with somebody or getting disconnected from the call on their end or having people that come out that don't do the work properly, but this past time went pretty well.

I had to call AHS about my refrigerator. The tech who came out was very nice and very professional. He had his mask on and put things on his feet when he came in my house. He immediately saw what the problem was because I had to have my stuff in the garage. But it was cold, so he said I needed a fan. He went to his truck, came out, put a fan in there, and my refrigerator had been working beautifully. But before he left, he said that he was going to order me a new fan, so I don't know if he realized that was a new one he put. Then, I never heard anything back from him. But as long as the refrigerator is working fine, I don't have a problem. And at the moment, it is working better than before.
I had another claim for my garbage disposal and everything went well when the tech first came out. But on the same day, it started leaking and when I called him, he said to call his company first so they could schedule me in. But when I did, their rep said that he couldn't come back that day because he had other appointments and that he would be back the next day. Then, she called me back and said that I had to call Home Shield again and I didn't like that. Why do I have to call back to Home Shield when the contractor messed up on me where on the same day, the garbage disposal started leaking and I had already paid my $100 to Home Shield? I also told everybody about that and nobody understood why that happened.
In the end, I called Home Shield, waited a long time, and finally got connected with a nice young lady. She said it was no problem and that she would send them over that I had called to say that the garbage disposal wasn't working right and that I didn't think that was professional. She made me feel better because I was mad when the contractor made me call Home Shield back. Then, when the tech came back out but he didn't take any responsibility about the issue and blamed it on my pipe. He said that a piece broke off and when he first came out, he went in the car, got that piece, and put it on my pipe. He said he might have to go back to his truck and put another little pipe right there, to which I said okay. But he should've done that the first time he came out.
He also said that if the garbage disposal leaks again, that's that pipe in the back, Home Shield wouldn't cover that, and that'd be $270. But the garbage disposal is working fine now. All in all, I would recommend my friends to AHS but I hope I don't have to call them anymore. I've been with them for a long time and when you call to let them know that you need their service, you don't get to talk to anybody. You don't have that option and what they want you to do is tell them what's wrong, then they get your $100 and tell you that you got an appointment. I don't like that. They should have an option if you want to talk to somebody about what you're having trouble with and get your contract to see if it's covered.

On the first service request, not only was there a drain stoppage in my kitchen but there were also leaking shower valves in my bathtub and a toilet leak in one of the bathrooms. The company that American Home Shield sent out didn't fix anything. They just came out and quoted me $850. A good buddy of mine that I've known for decades is a master plumber. He owns his own company now, and he said that he's worked for several companies in the past that did some of the Home Shield warranty work and a couple of those other home warranty companies. He said it's almost a racket that most of the way that they make their money is upselling stuff to the customers.
I figured that from the get-go, especially when the company said it was gonna be $850 to fix a drain stoppage in my kitchen. I might have been born at night, but it certainly wasn’t last night. I told American Home Shield that I'd like a second opinion, so they sent another company out. I was at work, but going by what they were telling my wife over the phone, it was going to cost 800 and something dollars. I couldn't get them to explain it to me. I told the second company, which was Iron Mountain, “Hell no. I’m not paying $800 for just a drain stoppage, and the two shower valves, and the toilet leak which should be covered under the warranty.” I never got a clear answer as to why the first or the second company didn't fix the shower valves or the toilet leak while they were already there. When K & S (the third company) came out, they fixed the two shower valves, which they said was covered under warranty. They fixed the toilet leak also.
This is my first go-around with American Home Shield. At first, they were not being very helpful then I raised my tone and said a few choice words. I’m a mechanic for a living, so I understand the mechanics of the home and plumbing. I may not be a plumber, but I’ve worked around it many of times myself in construction over the years. I couldn't fathom why it would take $800 for them to run a drain snake down my pipe. They wouldn’t even try that, apparently. They wanted to replace a bunch of stuff and add a cleanout. I did the simple approach. There was a cleanout down in my basement, clearly easy to get to. Taking the P-trap from under the sink, I got to the top part of it from that way. I went to Harbor Freight, bought a $20 drain snake and a buddy of mine and I fixed the drain stoppage on the sink ourselves.

My breakers would trip when it rains. So each time it rains, I would lose power in two of my bedrooms and my bathroom upstairs. I went online and did a claim. It was easy to do but I couldn't put notes there to tell them what the issue was. So the guy that came out didn’t know what the issue was until he got out here. He said I might have a leak in the roof. But I told him I checked it, and there was no water leak. So for the time being, he asked me to change to a lower watt light bulb. He said it may help. He also said what I really need to do is have dedicated circuits. He wrote notes down so I know what’s needed. He was great. But if he had known the issue ahead of time, he would have been known what we needed to do.

I got on American Home Shield's website and put the claim in. The only thing that makes it easier is if there was an app that did the automatic login. That is obviously our lazy way of life these days. It just makes it a bit easier because everything seems to have that now. But other than that, it's normal to me. That was easy as usual. I put in the claim, and they charge me $75, and I go, “Yay.” Most of the time, my interactions with the contractors are not as good. But it was wonderful on that one, so I liked that. They were able to not only get it resolved, but make the toilet better than it ever was when I first moved in.

My furnace was not igniting. The technician that came from York Mechanical was good. Submitting a claim to American Home Shield has become easier. In the past, we were having a tough time of just getting through to even put a claim in. And although they say, “Okay, you can do it online,” a lot of people would rather be able to call in to put the claim in. I'm also a Realtor and I sell a lot of these through my buyers. That was becoming a major issue for my clients as well as myself. Calling in to submit a claim was a difficulty. I could always call in to set up a new home warranty. The issue was when my buyers would then need to call in to place a claim. They said they would be on the phone for hours and that is not good. I was considering not recommending the warranty anymore but here recently, I noticed I can get right through. I noticed it has drastically improved.

I used AHS for my furnace and things went pretty well. The problem had something to do with the circuit board and the tech ordered a part. Since the furnace is so old, it took about a week to get the part. If it was a newer furnace, it wouldn't have taken that long and they probably would have had it right in the supply house. For this claim, two different people came out. One guy did the diagnostics in the beginning then the guy I spoke to on the phone was the guy who came out and did the repair. They were both nice and all in all, the process was easier than I thought it was going to be.

I have called them at least 20 times and I get the same excuse: it will take 14 - 21 business days and we should have the refund but that never happens!

I am writing this review so that future individuals will make an informed decision before purchasing a home warranty from American Home Shield. My story - my oven quit working on November 24, 2020. As of February 3, 2021, I still do not have a working oven. This is simply unacceptable business. Firstly, AHS sent out a repair company. The repair company determined what part caused the oven to quit working. They reached out to AHS with their findings. AHS could not find the part as it was no longer available. AHS had the technicians come back out, remove the part and send it out to be refurbished. When the technicians received the refurbished part back and came back out and installed, it did not work. AHS has offered me a minimal amount of money to replace my oven. The amount offered to replace the oven is not even 1/2 of what it will cost me to replace the oven with a basic model (no bells and whistles). I have not accepted and will continue to fight this company.

Mostly, I've been very happy with American Home Shield. Some of my claims have required a second visit. I'm satisfied with that because sometimes, techs really can't tell everything that's going on. On both occasions when the air conditioning guys came to fix things, they took off pieces of wires that looked completely burnt. They cut those off and fixed my unit with no explanation why something like that might happen. That concerns me because it looked like there could have been a fire or a short somewhere. The techs say it's fine but when I ask them why the problem occurred, they don't have an answer.
The icemaker guy Al, is great. He also required a second visit but I felt completely comfortable with him. I've had him fix many other things and eventually, things do get fixed and he's always very nice. The guy who came to fix my toilet issue was also the same guy who came to fix the water heater. The first time he came, he was a little off-putting in his personality. But, I got used to him by the third visit and everything worked out fine. He told me exactly what was wrong with the water heater, the thermostat, and the toilet bowl.

Our blower was blowing cold air and it had a defrost issue. I specifically wanted Air Command but American Home Shield changed their policy to where I can't request a particular provider. I had to escalate it so that I could have people who actually knew my system come out. While that didn't delay the process, it was a bit annoying. I find the issue of not being able to go with a specific contractor that's in their group of vendors frustrating because I don't want to have a different person who has to figure things out from the beginning every time I have a claim on a thing. Air Command had to come back twice for the blower and replace several parts. It appears to be okay now though there's a leak that we haven't been able to address. I recommend AHS all the time.

Calling is easier because I get somebody pretty quickly and they know my information because my phone number's in the system. I put in my claim and it's done. It's always been a good experience. I had a TV go out about two months ago, and they sent someone to fix it. He spent the time doing what he had to do, came with the right parts after I gave him and fixed the TV right there in my garage. AHS has been pretty consistent with me.

The contractor reset the garage door but they couldn't find what was causing the issue. So I recently went back to the manufacturer and we're trying to see if there's something that we can figure out. This tends to be happening more and more with American Home Shield where nothing's covered. It was never like this in their commercials. In their commercial, they show like the faucet going crazy. But they don't cover faucet. They told me they don't cover the hardware, so I'd have to buy my own. So it's false advertising. It would have been cheaper for me to go to Home Depot and get their plumber to come out. It's kind of happening more and more, which has been a little disappointing.
I have a second property that I just purchased and got the home warranty from American Home Shield. I have to get back to them with it because I was sold coverage with items that weren't covered when I called for service. So when it comes down to them covering it, they know exactly to the infinite piece, do they do it or not. Yet, when you're buying the plan and when you're calling for service, you're kind of paying and hoping for the best. So there's that big gap between their actual knowledge of whether they're going to pay or not, and you paying to have somebody come. It would be better if they just say, "We don't cover that." Also, they don't refund since it wasn't covered.

I went online, made the claim and got communication right away about the appointment. The contractor came out and serviced us pretty quickly within a couple of days. The website is pretty well-designed. It's easy to navigate and figure out where you need to go to do whatever it is you're trying to do. They have good drop-down menus. However, it's quite frustrating because every time I log in, I have to try to remember what is my policy number. I have to find my paperwork then look for the number. They should not do it that way. They could change the login not to require you to know your policy number.

A tech from Mike's Appliance looked at the dryer and he said that there was a piece that was needed. He said that it might take a week. But I didn't hear anything from them so when I called back to them in a week, the tech told me to let him call me back. Then the next thing I knew, I got an email from American Home Shield saying that they couldn't replace that part and then showed me a dryer like the one I had. I picked the General Electric one but they told me that it wouldn't be delivered 'cause it was out of stock. I asked how long was the reorder and I was told that it would probably have in stock on February 8th.
On Monday, a delivery guy called and said that he got my dryer. He took my old machine and he was bringing in the dryer that he thought was gonna work. The dryer he brought was gas but I needed electric. He said that my paperwork said electric, but it was either somebody must have put the wrong one on the truck or that this was what they had and they got the wrong one. I asked him if he was gonna bring it back tomorrow but he doubted it. He said that he would give me a call when they found out but I didn't hear anything. So I called the logistics company and I was told that I would have to call American Home Shield and reorder it.
When I called American Home Shield back, there was a young lady that answered the phone. I was explaining to her that the logistics company told me to call AHS because I would have to reorder. But she said that my order was due on the 8th and everything was gonna be fine. I insisted that the logistics company told me that I would have to reorder. She said that they were gonna get the piece that I needed. So she was not understanding me. So I told her the logistics company already brought me the wrong machine. I also told her that I knew that the piece was supposed to be here on the 8th but when I called the company, they told me to reorder the machine. I asked to speak to the young lady's supervisor 'cause I didn't think that she understood what I was trying to say. But she connected me to the section that orders the parts instead. It's pretty frustrating when you ask to speak to somebody else and you can't get them.
When I got to the section that orders the parts, the lady there understood me. I told her that I called the people from the logistics company and they told me that I would have to reorder the machine but the young lady I spoke to before wouldn't let me have a supervisor. So this lady looked it up and said that they reordered the dryer for me. She couldn't give an exact date but I would have the dryer delivered to me and everything was taken care of.
I've dealt with American Home Shield before and people have come on time. I had a refrigerator issue and they brought several people to try to fix it, and they ended up getting me a new refrigerator. The guy came, put it right in, and explained how to use it. Then they got me the tech from Mike's Appliance to come over right away.

The first company that American Home Shield called to come work on the dishwasher lied. They were supposed to be there on the 20th of January. My wife sat there all day long, but nobody called or showed up. And then, they said that they came to our house on the 21st, which was a lie, because my wife was in my house on the 21st because I was in the hospital. Also, I tried calling every one of their phone numbers that they had and all I could get was a recording. And I never at one point ever received a call back from any of them. So, I called American Home Shield. I told them what I thought about this company.
I requested another company to come out and check this, because I do not trust that whatever it was AHS sent. They sent a second company out. And they came out there quick and checked it out. And everything's done. That first company was not reliable. I checked them out on Facebook. It said that they had 2.7 stars. That's not good. Paul's was the second one that AHS called to come out. They called us. They were on time. They told us exactly when they were going to be there, and they were there. They came in and checked everything out. And everything's fixed. They were good and polite. The tech seemed knowledgeable about it. He knew exactly what he was doing.
American Home Shield has been rapid on getting a response. The only other time that I've had a bad time was my dryer, about two years ago. But AHS finally had to just take it away from him, and they took care of the issue. The tech disassembled my dryer in that room. And for five days, I was out without a dryer. He never called. He never did anything. So, I had to call back AHS and say, "Look, we got to do something. This guy's not doing anything." And AHS rapidly took care of it. I've had really good experience. I tell my neighbors about them. I've been able to get my items fixed. Sometimes it may take a day or two, which I understand, but it's done and fixed.

I have American Home Shield for the sheer good feeling that I’m covered by the insurance. From an overall standpoint, I appreciate that. But I can’t stand the waiting. I get that the people on the other end of the phone deal with people's problems all day so my problem is just another problem. I also don't like that the contracts change without any notice. I get my annual's up but the deductible continues to change. Their website is not the best to explain their pricing structure. They probably do that on purpose so they can change the fee and it can be whatever it wants to be.
I’ve gone to the American Home Shield website to see if I can buy a different plan or if I can buy one with a different deductible. This past time, my rate went up almost 10 bucks. I got no notice other than “Here’s your new contract.” Other companies like Netflix and Hulu would say, “Just to let you know, our prices are going up. 10% or 20%.” American Home Shield charges my credit card so it's a charge that I never really see and feel.
Also, I've had some issues and I find out that they are not covered. It's on the fine print. Those issues aside, American Home Shield has its moments. I had a plumbing issue and the contractor did a good job. I had four issues on there and they resolved two of them. Despite that, they fixed what I really wanted out of the thing. The people who came out did what they had to do.

American Home Shield is good, but they should get a company that's going to come out on the weekends. Folks like to be home when people come. We don't like to have to take off work. Hopefully, AHS can have some things on the weekend, especially when they're purchasing a contract with them. Sometimes people may have an emergency where it can't wait and somebody needs to come out.

The turntable in our microwave stopped turning and it wasn’t heating evenly. I placed a request online for service. Once it went through the American Home Shield system, I got a text and an email saying I can expect a phone call from Valleywide for service. But I didn't wait for them to call me, so I called them and scheduled the service. I was able to get on their schedule. They came and did the evaluation. They ordered the part, which took them a week and a couple days to get it in. Then they came out last Saturday and repaired our microwave.
The techs are always very friendly and polite. But my claim before the microwave was painful. It was our ice maker in our refrigerator. It took the contractor about two months and four visits to get it all figured out. They came out the first time for an evaluation, and then they ordered the parts. They came back and put the parts in. If the parts didn't work, then they have to order more parts.
We’ve been with American Home Shield for a couple years now, and we've had okay experiences, good experiences, and then really crappy experiences. They are responsive because when I can get ahold of somebody and I can talk to somebody, stuff gets taken care of. Then when you place a service request online, you get the text message and the emails pretty quick. But their customer service people don't speak great English.

American Home Shield, in general, is a good company. There are a lot of technicians that I don't think are that good, and I've kept a notice of the ones that I did not agree with. When they have tried to assign me to the same person, same company, and I said I did not have a good experience, then they have went ahead and changed it for me and assigned me to a different person. So they made a point of correcting the issue if I did not have a good experience with a certain company. That's a good thing. There were a few shady people and the fact that I'd have to pay $100 and keep paying $100 every time for a bad service was not favorable. I would definitely recommend American Home Shield.

There was some kind of noise that was coming from the system. We had had a home inspector come in and claim that there was a big issue with it. But there wasn't once the guy from United Air Temp came in and had a look. He checked everything over and there was nothing wrong but they did a good service for me. He was very professional and communicated well.
The tech was running a little bit late because the traffic here is horrendous but it turned out to be great. He stuck around and listened. It was a weird situation and he was able to figure out what was going on and what he could do. He gave me all the documentation I needed as soon as he left to square away the issue, so it was perfect. My most recent claim for an oven that malfunctioned is currently in process and everything is tracking well. American Home Shield has been great. The claims process is simple. People get assigned right away and I haven't had a bad experience yet as far as the contractors that have come out, so it's been wonderful.

One Saturday night, I finished washing the dishes and there was water on the floor. I realized it was coming from underneath the sink. When I turned on the faucet, I saw water coming out of the housing of the garbage disposal. I filed the claim on Sunday and the plumber from Kenbridge came on Monday. He had a mask on and put covers on his shoes. He was very friendly, courteous, and professional. He replaced the garbage disposal and everything has been working great since. I had a really good experience with the tech.

Called American Home Shield on Nov 13 for a broken Ice Machine. They assigned Daryl's Appl to do the repair. He sent out a repairman who said it needed a grid and Daryl would order the part. Since then I have not been able to get in touch with Daryl's Appl and American Home Shield can not get in touch Daryl's either when they I call him. American Home Shield will not let me talk to anyone to tell my problem to. If they are the best you need to check them out.

This is my first review for anything, and I am writing so that at least some of the future customers will get a sense of what they are signing up for. I am writing this with utmost frustration and disappointment with the service I received from American Home Shield. I am an AHS customer for many years, and they rejected my first request more than a year ago for an issue with my dishwasher indicating that damage caused due to the age of the dishwasher is not covered, but I still kept my contract with AHS. In the last week of December 2020, I put a service request for a faucet repair and water leak in the kitchen. A contractor was assigned, and he came the next day, and after inspection said that the damaged part must be replaced. He placed an order for replacement, and I got the part after 2 weeks (no expedited shipment).
The contractor came back on January 12th and this time told that they got the wrong parts. He said that he is going to re-order the whole faucet to fix the damage. Since I did not get any status update after 10 days, I called the contractor multiple times many days, left messages, no response at all. I called AHS and they said that they will follow up and will take care in the next few days.
Since I didn’t hear anything again for the next few days, I called AHS again on January 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, and every time the customer agent says that someone is going to reach out by end of the day to resolve this situation ASAP. I have been telling them that water is leaking from the damaged pipe for more than a month, but I got a ton of free apologies from all the agents, but no resolution of the issue. I directly called the company that’s supposed to send the faucet part and they said that they cannot see any new order. I was told by AHS that faucet part has been ordered by the contractor and the issue will be resolved very soon, but the contractor has not even placed an order for the damaged product.
After finally realizing that these guys are bluffing through their mouth, I requested AHS on Jan 29th to give me an authorization so that I can get the work done externally. When I called yesterday, they told that they cannot give cash out because there is no diagnosis report from the customer. Fed up with all the callousness, I asked them to cancel my account after more than a month of follow up, I will take the loss and fix my own. The whole purpose of having an insurance is to get things done through qualified contractors in a timely manner, but do not expect that you will get that from AHS. Please do your research before signing up a contract with AHS, there are number of other companies with better reviews and ratings. I cancelled my service with AHS, shame on me for allowing them to take advantage of me this long……

My dishwasher wasn't operating. CTI came and did the diagnosis and said that it needed a motor replacement. Later, Home Shield came in and said they needed to replace the dishwasher. I was satisfied. AHS provides peace of mind in the event there is some issue with my home. I know I will not have to come too deeply out of pocket to pay for any issues. We've had issues with the AC as well and the cost for us was negligible.

SKI Electronics came out, ordered the part, and then came back and did the repair. But I'm still waiting to hear from the plumbers. All they had to do was put a speaking in and they couldn't bring these stuff with them, or go to Home Depot and come right back with the part. That was what all my other people do. But this guy just left and I haven't seen him. He didn't look that good and he didn't impress me at all. The problem is with the screw-on one on our copper pipe. So when I go and turn the water on the shower, it shoots right at me. I sit in an assistant chair in the shower. So the thing comes right off at your groin. I showed it to the guy and he came back with a brand new piece to put on. But I didn't want that. I wanted it welded and sweating on the right way. I haven't heard anything from anybody for a week and a half now.
The contractors that American Home Shield send out do not call ahead to say who their guy is. But a while back in the beginning, one contractor told me who was coming. Everybody should be doing that because what if somebody overheard that I made a call and next thing I know, a guy shows up in three days saying that and he's in my house but I don't even know who he is.
The first claim I put in was for a water heater. The guy came and told me all this will be taken care of. Then he left and told American Home Shield that it was some kind of an existing problem. So I had somebody else come but I paid for it myself. It was $1800 and the guy looked at it and said, "I work for Home Shield, and we would've claimed this with no problem." He said it was a normal repair. I didn't know that I could put in a second request to have somebody come out. American Home Shield never told me that after I already bought it and paid for it myself. So I'm not happy with them. I'm just letting the year run out, and I'm never going to use them again. Also, talking to the people from India was impossible. They wouldn't shut up and they just kept reading the rules off of a piece of paper. I was just trying to find out how can I get somebody else to come and reevaluate the water heater.

I had an experience with American Home Shield last summer, where I had a washing machine break. I couldn't get someone on the phone in this country. I was on hold, and had to call a certain time to not be put on hold forever. It was not a good experience at all. But this time when I had a garbage disposal and a kitchen faucet replaced, the experience was so good. The plumber was terrific. He was timely and professional. Right before this claim, I had a locksmith come out and rekey the lock on our condo. He was terrific too.

The blower was working, but the heat pump was not working. The tech identified the problem and fixed it quickly. He was excellent. Everything was well. But there's been a few times that AHS did not provid the expected service. One was a garage door and they said that it wasn't under the warranty. I disagreed. It should have been but there was some gray area and instead of erring on the side of the consumer, they just refused to fix it.

AHS had already sent somebody last November for my dishwasher. So when the techs came, they said there was nothing wrong with it other than the fact that I needed to have hotter water in my house. I called AHS again to say that the issue isn't because of hot water as I have hot water in my house. Their hold time was horrendous. When I got through to this lady, I thought it was gonna be a drag but she was really nice. I was on the phone with her for a minute and a half. She then said that she has someone set up and they're going to be contacting me.
Air Kool came and the tech looked at the dishwasher. He talked to me and he was very professional. It seemed that he knew what he was doing. He said that the office would be getting back to us. They called a week later and said they could come the next day. I had a lot of problems with American Home Shield in November but my rep put me in touch with the right people in trying to change their minds on some things. I had them focus more intently instead of skipping over things I was saying. After my rep got involved, things went a lot better.

We had a toilet that was leaking at the base. I thought I’d fixed it and then my wife informed me that I hadn't. We almost forgot that we had the home warranty. I told my wife I would check and so, I pulled up the website to check the coverage. It just said, “Hey, do you need to make the claim?” I submitted the claim online and it was simple. The tech was very good. It was probably less than three hours when they responded and said that they could have somebody out here that afternoon. I called American Home Shield one time in the past for a washer. The contractor communicated good. They said they were gonna be here between 2:00 and 4:30. Then as it got a little later, they said that it was probably going to be closer to the 4:30 side. So they wouldn’t be here till then. Then when the guy was driving to my house, he said that he was 10 minutes out. I was very satisfied with AHS. They were professional and it was well worth what I paid.

I didn't realize something wrong with it. The bill from last month was the reason I called in to American Home Shield. My bill was over $300 higher this last month because the thing was broken.

I couldn't be happier with American Home Shield's service. I use it for rental properties. The $50 a month is paid by the rent, and you don't have to worry about an HVAC.

I had my in-laws recommended it, and it saved me $1,500 this past month. I just went on their website and requested a service thing. Then, the contractor showed up, told me what was wrong and sent it to American Home Shield. I guess American Home Shield bought the parts in it to the contractor. Then, the contractor came back to the place whenever they had the part, and put it in. Now, the heat’s working fine. American Home Shield has been great.
