    It took about a week for a technician to come out for the washer and dryer. He ordered three parts and came back about 10 days later. So, the last time when he came, he fixed them. His service was extremely first-class. Overall, American Home Shield never disappoints and I love them.

    The sump pump was leaking down in the basement of our house. Submitting a claim to American Home Shield was extremely easy. The tech from KC Plumbing repaired it at the time. American Home Shield does an excellent job. I just added another house on a separate contract yesterday. We’re totally pleased with American Home Shield. I am totally pleased with KC Plumbing. This is not the first time that they've been to our residence down in Danville, Virginia, and so they kind of know the house and are quick to respond. That company and American Home Shield are fantastic.

    With us not knowing everything that would come with buying a not brand-new house, AHS has helped us out with little things that we needed fixed. The online claim is super easy to make. Before, we had been calling in and we had been put on hold for hours. It’s nice to be able to make a claim online. That takes a couple minutes. We recently did our claim over the weekend so we expected not to be contacted till Monday. The contractor did contact us right away on Monday. They came out and there was a bad snowstorm even so we’re pleased that they were able to make it out. The guy has been very knowledgeable. We had this issue before and I don't think the previous people fixed the issue. This company did a really good job with that. They were fine with us watching them the entire time. We were behind them trying to see what was going on. We even spoke to the owner of the business at one point and they were super helpful.

    The motor burned out on the dishwasher. The contractor was wonderful. They contacted me right away to set up an appointment, showed up right on time, found the problem, and got the part ordered. The woman that ran the office called back later that day and said that they had the part ordered but they didn't have the delivery date. So the communication was great all the way through the process. The part came in a week later and the contractor came back out and fixed it. It's been working great. Having the warranty is a good way to have an immediate contact if something goes wrong. In the past, I’ve called a plumber and maybe they come or they don't. But with American Home Shield, they get somebody out within a day, with one exception. Everybody's been really good.

    JC Electric came out Monday. They checked the plug and they said the plug was blown out behind the refrigerator. This was where my stove was plugged in. They fixed it and I was happy because I got to cook again. Everything has been working since then. They were great. But last year, I had a big problem with a leakage on my bathtub and American Home Shield sent out somebody who made it worse. He didn't stop the leakage. Then they sent another person out, which took a couple of weeks.

    I called American Home Shield and made the claim through the automated phone system. It was for the refrigerator and freezer. It's a side-by-side. A tech from the appliance company that was picked for the service gave me a call a couple of hours later then scheduled a time to come and make the repair. This recent experience with our refrigerator was pretty good because the repairman was able to come out later that evening and assess what the problem was. That was a Friday and he had gotten the part on Monday. He was able to make the repair by Tuesday. This claim moved rather quickly.

    Unfortunately, last year the air conditioning unit went out in July and we had to wait three weeks. This home warranty policy is my grandmother's and I called the claim on behalf of her because she can't hear well on the phone. My grandmother was without air conditioning for three weeks in the hottest month of the year before she could get her unit fixed. We were pretty upset about that. I kept calling back and I was told that was the earliest appointment they could get.

    I had other times where I called American Home Shield and it wasn't as great as the recent claim with the refrigerator because it was not cut and dry about what they would cover and not cover. I called about our bathtub and our garage door. They kept saying over the phone that they couldn't guarantee that those were covered under the warranty so I would be responsible for the call-out if it wasn't. That made me hesitant to make the claim because I didn't want to be out of a call-out fee and not be covered.

    American Home Shield could definitely make their coverages clearer to regular people. When you sign the contract, there are10 pages with lots of legal jargon that are not easy for me. For example, the rep kept saying the garage door is not covered but the garage door opener is covered. I don't know what it is because I just know that I'm pushing the button and my door won't go up. I don't know if it's because the door itself isn't messed up. The rep was saying there's a spring in the box and there's a spring that connects the box to the door. The one that connects the box to the door is not covered but the one that's inside the box, they cover.

    I got really frustrated and I just called a garage door repairman directly to come out because he has a $150 fee, regardless of which one it was and he would fix it based on either one. I didn't want to be out the American Home Shield service fee then wait for someone to come out to find out that it was the thing that they didn't cover then I still have to pay again. That also happened with an issue in my bathtub. They said they wouldn't cover if it was a specific type of leak versus something in the pipe versus something in the faucet. We went around and around with them for about 20 minutes trying to determine the cause of the leak. I didn't know what was causing it because I'm not a plumber. We would have to get someone out to determine where it was before we determine if it would be covered or not. That was frustrating as well.

    American Home Shield sent Exclusive Appliance Repair for a refrigerator. The technician took care of everything. Doing the claim was pretty easy. The ice maker is out now. I called in a claim but AHS is sending two different technicians out, which I don't understand why they don't use the same company. As far as their customer service team, sometimes, I feel like I'm talking to the wall. I try to explain to them there are two different technicians out here. One messed up the fridge, and then the other one fixed it. Now, they're sending the person that messed up my fridge to fix the freezer. So, I might end up needing the other company to come back and fix it because they didn't know how to fix the fridge.

    I'm not sure if it's the technicians that needed a little bit more education, or if they need to be a little bit more open-minded to customers. But I tried to explain that to AHS. But they kept going around it. They're like, “Well, you already have a contract with them.” I told them, “I understand that. But one company keeps messing up my fridge and the other company has to come fix it.” I was without a fridge for two months. No one reached out and said, “Hey, like, the part's here.” There was nothing until after the holidays. It was a mess. It was about two months that I was without an appliance. But once they fixed the fridge, I was happy.

    Submitting claims is easy to do, but the hold time is hard on the phone. It's very long. The policies are also changing and I don't get any updates when they change the policies on what's covered, what's not covered, or what they're willing to do. American Home Shield requested Doctor Cool for my water heater and the repair guy was nice. The problem is I did some research on the unit that was there, and the one that he wanted to put in. They sell the same unit and everybody said it used to be a good brand, but they went downhill. I checked with a couple of other plumbers. They said, “We won't put these in. They're good for maybe six months to a year and then they break.” Doctor Cool said, “That's what's covered. That's all we can replace.”

    American Home Shield would not do anything and they couldn't give me a new one. It was not a good thing. The Doctor Cool guy was going to charge me $650 too. I'm not going to spend 650 now and then another 650 the next year to have the same problem put back in. I went and bought a new one myself and went with another company that I'm using now in all my plumbing. The plumber put in the one I wanted, and his labor costs 300 bucks. That's a big difference.

    At another time, I had my microwave, my hot water heater and my water softener go out all in the same month. I got a new microwave, but they brought me a GE Profile, which took forever. They said they had some in the warehouse. The GE Profile is not bad, but it's really small compared to the model I had. Now I have holes in my woodwork around it. I thought, “That looks tacky. Somebody's going to really see that if you ever tried to sell your house.” The guy put a cover on the front of the microwave, but it doesn't cover up the screw marks, so I have to get wood putty to put in this wood.

    I have a $2 million home, so I have top-of-the-line products here. AHS needs to put in what products they don't carry or support. If it's a contractor or if it's AHS that doesn't support JennAir products, then I need to find something else because that's all this house is full of. I was going to have American Home Shield for my house in Park City, but I have JennAir up there too. At this point, I'm not sure I want to go that route.

    My bathtub was clogged and because of the clog, the water filled up. When the water filled up, it went into the overflow drain, but there was a leak in the overflow drain that leaked down into my kitchen. Another part of the problem was that the faucet, instead of it all going up into the shower when the shower was turned on, it was flowing through the bathtub faucet. So, it was running the bathtub and it filled the bathtub up all the way. Then the overflow drain leaked down into the kitchen. It was a fun situation.

    I did the claim to American Home Shield online. The website was really simple. It was straightforward questions like click this button and it was done. I was told almost within moments of who was gonna be my contractor. I was sent a text message that said that they would contact me within 24 hours or I could go ahead and reach out to them. They actually called me, the plumbing company, within like a half an hour. The tech unclogged the drain, and then he took the faucet apart. There was a couple components that he replaced in there. Then he had to get to the pipes, which he had to put a hole in the wall to get to the overflow drain pipe, which the gasket was loose or something on there. He caulked around all the seams of the overflow drain and the faucet.

    I called and submitted a request to have my ductwork underneath my house checked out for my heater. The heater was not heating up the house the way it should. But the first contractor they sent out was a joke. I would not recommend them for anything. Econo Air came out here and went underneath my house. They said they checked all the vents and couldn't find any problems with it when they didn't. Because as soon as I lifted up one of my register covers, there's a big hole in my air conditioning ductwork.

    I called Econo Air and told them that their guys didn't do what they were supposed to do and to send them back out. They called the American Home Shield and requested that another company be sent out here because they weren't gonna come out here again. American Home Shield sent out Oasis and they were great.

    My experience with the vendor that came out, Mr. Rooter, was good. When the agent that I spoke with gave me the original provider who would be doing the service, I was at my computer so I googled them real quick and they had a one star. I didn't want that because when I looked at the ratings from that particular provider, they were recent and the complaints were things that I didn't want to deal with. I told the agent to find me someone else. She found someone else but it was the same thing. They had a bad review. The third time was Mr. Rooter and their reviews were better. By that same day, they called me to schedule someone to come out. They came out a day or so afterwards, looked at the problem, told me the diagnosis and gave me the quote which would have been out-of-pocket because I did have some out-of-pocket cost. A few days after that, they replaced my water heater. AHS did a good job.

    I've used quite different repairs for different things, and some of them have been great, and other ones seemed like nothing was covered and so much comes out of pocket. I had a claim for the furnace. It would run for a while and then it would get really loud, and I was worried there was something wrong with it. When the contractor came, they said it's a two-stage furnace and the only reason why we hadn't heard it prior is that it wasn't as cold. So there was nothing wrong with it and it cost me $100 to find that out.

    Some of the companies that American Home Shield uses are terrible. I've had their plumber in my house multiple times for the same issue and they're not very good. They say they're gonna come on this day at this time, and they don't. There was an instance when I called the company and said that they had left poo splashed all over my bathroom, and they said, “Well, we're not a cleaning company.” Who leaves the job site like this?

    American Home Shield is great but in one or two situations, they didn't do a good job. The last time I called them, the service company asked me to open a ticket for changing the dishwasher pipe. They came and didn’t do anything. They were supposed to change the pipe. There was a copper pipe connected from the kitchen to the dishwasher. The guy said, “We will not do repair until you change the copper pipe to the flexible pipe.” So then I called AHS. I opened a ticket, I called the plumbing folks and said, “You have to change the pipe.” They went here. They didn't change any pipe. I had to call somebody else from outside to change the pipe, so then the dishwasher people can come do the dishwashing part. I am still not understanding if there was no dishwasher, then there was no pipe at all anyway. So when you are coming for the dishwasher, you have to take care of everything.

    I ended up paying double money, and then they didn't do much at all. This was really bad experience, but it was not American Home Shield. That was because of the plumbing folks and the appliances guys. They were really terrible. It is my rental place, so my renters don't touch anything about the electrical thing. That case was not handled better by AHS.

    When you plug something in one of the plugs, three of the plugs start making spark sounds. The tech came out and fixed that. Then on the side of my sink where my garbage disposal switch is located, it wasn't working. So he did whatever to make that work. He did a great job.

    The ice machine was not working, so National Platinum came to have it fixed. I called American Home Shield. They gave me the company's phone number and everything. The service the contractor provided was great. In the beginning, they said they would send somebody to come around and have a look at the refrigerator, and then buy the parts and all that. But later on, they said they would send somebody straight away to come and have it fixed. So, the person came and fixed it. And in fact now, it’s still working all right. I've been with AHS for a long time and I will recommend them to any of my friends. I will tell them that AHS is excellent. I even recommended them to a coworker of mine. He had his AC break down and I said, “Why don't you get in touch with American Home Shield?” I gave their number for him to contact them, and then sign up if possible with them.

    I've never used a home warranty place before, but our Realtor suggested it because we were leasing and thought that would be easier. We had a couple of claims for the air conditioning unit and we got somebody out there calling and making an appointment right away. Even one time when it needed a part, it was quick. We had a little couple of mishaps, like the one that we thought was all connected was three different ones. When they came out the first time, they fixed one that we thought was working. We then had to have them come out again, and we paid another $100. We thought the unit was working. I had a really good experience with American Home Shield until the oven. Nobody called me after they came out and they needed a part.

    I had to keep calling and calling and then I found out that they were trying to find the part. That went on for over two weeks, which is crazy to me. I've had homes and home repairs, and you either know that you can get it or you don't get it. It doesn't take that long. We then found out that they couldn't get it, so then it took a week to find out what they were going to offer in terms of a replacement. They offered a replacement, but then we were told they couldn't get it for three months. Now I understand that that's part because of COVID, but we can't not have an oven for three months. That's crazy.

    I had different people say different things too. Someone would say they're still looking for the part and then someone would say they're not looking for the part, they're going to give me a replacement. Someone else would say I have to wait until they see what they offer me and then I get the offer. I click on “I want the replacement,” and then it says that it's not available. The only thing that's available is the money that they're offering, which isn't enough to get a new one. It also shouldn't take over three weeks to find out that I need to search on my own and find a new one. It was irritating. I don't blame the people in the office giving the information, but I asked several different times for a manager to call me starting a week ago.

    I called Monday and asked to speak to a manager, and Tuesday to ask to speak to a manager. The whole story didn't make sense in terms of the length of time and everything else. Finally, a manager called, but it shouldn't take that long. I also didn't know that that the stock everywhere for any kind of oven is hard to find. I went out to Best Buy and found four ovens that would be perfect, all to find out that none of them were available. They said it would be three or more months. Once I started shopping, then I understood what American Home Shield was up against. I just wish someone let me know.

    This is my first time using American Home Shield. I was referred by several family members so I was excited to be able to use it. When I called and made an appointment, I was able to make a ticket for 2 appliances for the same day which I was pleased with. However, my experience was good and bad. My original phone call was for my microwave and the guy was able to fix that. I was pleased that I was able to get that working right away. My second one was my washer and he had diagnosed that it needed a part. It works but it's out of balance. It was a little difficult to communicate with him, but it's okay. He was nice and everything was great.

    However, I got a phone call from American Home Shield saying that it was later denied, that it was something that I was doing. I was gonna call that company that was hired to ask them. I don't understand how that diagnosis was a part that it needed then it said it was denied. I think the person that came and diagnosed it said it needed a part then said it didn't. What was happening was my fault. When American Home Shield called to see how I was doing, I did explain that to the rep and she gave me information to call them. I did leave a message but I never heard back. But I'm still pleased to be with American Home Shield and it makes me feel that there is a little safety where if something else goes wrong, I can get assistance. I'm a single mom so that makes it comforting to know that I have someone if I need something to be done and it's immediate and a big appliance.

    When I first got American Home Shield, I was paying a little more. The next year, they reduced it by about $10 and I never found out why. This year, it went back up. That's a little confusing. But it's nice to have them because I can't come out of my pocket all the time with certain appliances if they go out. Recently, my baseboard heat in my dining room was not working and it took a while to get ahold of the electric company. I waited for them to call and they didn't, so I called them.

    Communicating with them was a little difficult. We initially scheduled it for one date. Then I didn't realize my job scheduled a hearing on that date, and so I have to testify via Zoom. I didn't want him to come when I'm in the middle of giving testimony, so I had to reschedule it, and it was hard getting ahold of them. I called a couple of times. The lady finally answered saying they could do that. The guy that came out was nice and told me that the dust will accumulate on the burner that is inside. If it gets too much, it would think that it will get too hot, and then it will cut off. He said I need to clean it every year. There is a reset button that I can push and then it will work.

    With my recent claim, the water heater was leaking. American Home Shield sent a repair person who confirmed that he needed to replace it. He advised me that there would be parts of the repair that would not be covered by the warranty, such as code changes for my city and state since the time the original water heater was put in, and a couple of the other parts that the home warranty would not cover the replacement that had to be done at the time of replacement. He ordered the water heater and returned about two days later to do the replacement. At that time, American Home sent me an email saying to call in because they had information on what would be covered and what would be not. They confirmed those and the work was done. I paid for my part and they paid for theirs.

    Back in 2020, I had a service call for my dryer that wasn't working. At that time, American Home did not pay for the repair, but they gave me some money towards a replacement. I replaced the dryer and the washer. Now, the washer won't work. It won't drain, and so I've got a new service call in. Some of the contractors that they used have not been the highest rated, and so I'm a little worried because this contractor for the washer has a rating that is not so good on Yelp or on their webpage, that they don't respond, are not scheduled to come out until next week. It's a long wait period, which I can understand because of COVID. We'll see.

    My recommendation for American Home Shield is to really vet out the contractors they use and see if they can help bring up the ratings for those contractors by setting customer expectations. "Oh, you're not gonna get a call from this contractor for a week because they're backed up." "Well, can you find another contractor in my area that can come sooner?" That type of thing. But otherwise, dealing with American Home Shield has been fine. I've been able to get ahold of someone and talk to them, so I'm okay with that.

    Our dishwasher had an indication that there was a leak. I live in a condo, so we can't have a leaky dishwasher. I went on to American Home Shield's website to file a claim. There was no problem. I was told to expect the contractors out between 24 and 48 hours. DMV Pro came out and they were excellent. The tech made sure of whatever problems there were and fixed it. So, he was really good and very quick. He was really thorough, took his time and explained a lot of stuff.

    This experience was very good but we did have some negative experiences when we were in the townhouse. Our townhouse was four floors, and the air conditioning was a split unit where one unit took care of the first floor and the basement, and the other one took care of the bedroom floor and the fourth floor. We had problems and the repair people kept coming out and fixing it, but there was a part that just had to be replaced. We were without air conditioning in the middle of summer for six weeks.

    My mother is in a wheelchair. She can't go down to another floor to sleep. We had a stairlift going from the main floor to the bedroom floor, and on the main floor you'd go two stairs to even use the bathroom. So, for her, it's not really ideal. Trying to get that resolved was really hard. That was a really tough experience. Air conditioning is a lot harder than a dishwasher. The contractor was saying, "Well, this is like on the bottom of our list because we're going to take care of the people who are not on a Home Shield plan first." That made it a lot worse. I was just trying to get anybody to listen. So, it was kind of tough.

    I usually go to the webpage to submit claims. I've had to call as well. Because sometimes, when the contractors set up an appointment, it's a couple of days out. And sometimes, I need the service right away. One of the challenges is that sometimes, the people that American Home Shield contract with are smaller businesses and they are really busy. So, it's hard for them to make it out the same day or the next. But for the most part, I've usually had good service.

    I had a service personnel. It might have been my dishwasher. And then, less than 30 days later, it broke again. AHS was really good about covering it, not arguing with me about it. It was good. They came early, which I was super happy because my kitchen sink was plugged. I submitted the claim on a Sunday. I got a text message first thing in the morning on Monday from Whitney Holdings that they would be out between 2:00 and 6:00 in the afternoon. And then, I got an updated message around 11:00 that said they were on their way to my house. And the next thing I knew, they were on my driveway.

    They just happened to be in the area, so they thought they would stop in and see if I was here, so I was very pleased. And I was very pleased that they kept me so up-to-date as well with the text messages. The other thing that I’d recommend Whitney on was the serviceman had a mask on when he came up to my door. I've had other service people that have come out. And when I open the door wearing a mask, they were like, “Oh, do you want me to wear a mask?” “Heck, yes. We're in the middle of a pandemic. Please.”

    I had one issue where AHS double-billed me. It took me a while to get that fixed, but they fixed it. I liked American Home Shield's service. I just wish they were less expensive. They have raised their prices since I started. For the package I have, the price is 70-ish a month. And then, anytime I have a contractor out, it's $75 just for that. That doesn't sound bad, but it really adds up. But I would still recommend AHS.

    The light switch on our ceiling fan wasn't turning on and off and American Home Shield had the company contact me. Once they called, we set up an appointment, so it had a time and date. The company was professional and fast, and the job was done right. It all went well. I wouldn't say I'm 100% satisfied though. It was overpriced for that small job. The part was $5 and the work was a $50 job. Based on the reality of what it cost, the copayment was a little high. If I paid $50 for that month, plus a $100 copayment, I spent well over a brand new ceiling fan. I'm not sure if I want to keep doing this warranty in the future.

    I was having a leak from my upstairs bathroom. The young man came out and he checked it out.

A young man came out and blow dried all the ice out of my refrigerator where it had froze up in the back. He didn't tell me that the line was busted in the back. The recent one that came out pulled out the refrigerator and my back wall behind my refrigerator is messed up. If the first guy determined it was supposed to be written off, my wall probably wouldn't be as damaged as it is. I reached out and touched the wall. It was mildewed. It's all got to get cut out and replaced now.

    The young man that came the second time fixed the door handle on the old refrigerator, whereas the young man that came out in August said, "Eventually, the refrigerator is gonna have to be replaced altogether." The young man came in, tightened up the screws on the handle for the freezer and it was all good. But the refrigerator still had to go 'cause the lines had exploded. I would recommend American Home Shield to other people but I would forewarn them about that issue.

    Our furnace was blowing out fire. We made a claim and that was okay. It was just frustrating because I've been having problems over the years with the whole HVAC system. People kept coming out and putting a band-aid to fix the problem for a particular time. But the unit just kept messing up. Once my house started smelling like it was gonna blow up, American Home Shield decided to replace my furnace. Right now, it’s important for me to fix this furnace because of the cold outside. Somebody came and they looked at what was going on. They said they'd never seen anything like it. The technicians replaced the furnace and they did a good job of coming in. My only thing with American Home Shield is I know that they are trying to fix the unit but if the part or whatever's going on with it keeps on malfunctioning, at what point do they say that it's a bigger problem?

    One of our refrigerators quit cooling. The contractor came out and even though they been out here the day before, they said they make special trip out. So they did. I was pretty happy with the tech showing up. But then it seemed like it took a little bit long to get the parts. They got the parts after about 10 days and then they came back out and installed it. So far, everything’s great. It was pretty simple to submit the claim. I just gave Home Shield a call and they took the information.

    We have a Samsung refrigerator freezer and the ice maker quit working. The contractor came out and fixed it the first time. But then a month later it quit working again. Home Shield called us and said that there was a manufacturer's recall on it so they couldn't fix it again. The claim is still open, as far as the refrigerator and Samsung. But Home Shield had good reason to not fix it because they can’t keep fixing them forever and it's going to keep breaking because the product is invalid. So overall, we’re pretty happy with Home Shield.

    I need American Home Shield because my husband passed in '18. So when it comes to appliances or a breakdown, having American Home Shield is positive for me in terms of backup. I don't have to worry about what am I going to do, who do I contact, and so forth. I also recommended AHS and several people have signed up with them through my referral over the past 20 years. Just recently, my niece purchased a house and she called me. When she wanted to know what I had, I recommended American Home Shield to her and I told her all the reasons why I'd recommend them.

    But I was hurt this year. My furnace went out and I was without heat. I submitted a claim with AHS and my experience with the contractor was fantastic. I had four contact people and all of my questions were answered. The first day that the tech came out to assess my furnace, everything went well. But it wasn't what I had anticipated. I thought I was going to have them to repair something but that was not my situation and my problem was with AHS. I couldn't talk to anyone besides their people who were in customer service. It was ridiculous and I demanded to at least speak to someone beyond customer service because I had some questions related to the amount of my payment since my furnace had to be replaced. Their policy needs to be changed. I even emailed a couple of times but I never received a phone call.

    Some years ago, when I had a situation like this, I didn't have the same problem with their customer service reps. A supervisor called me back and she followed up with me. The transition was better because my refrigerator was over 20-some years old. And when the guy came out to service it, he said I needed a compressor. So, he put the compressor in and it didn't work for a week. He had to call AHS back and told them that it was not working. He told them that my refrigerator had to be replaced and that was a lot of money to raise.

    But with my recent experience, I am so upset and very dissatisfied with American Home Shield. I was also talking to people that had a dialect that was not like mine and it was hard to understand. They were very professional people but they were very limited and they were tied to what they could do. In a situation like what I was in where it took me three weeks to have my furnace replaced, I didn't appreciate that. I had to make other arrangements and it was difficult having to adjust and make new accommodations in a time like this. It also upset me not knowing that I could get the replacement sooner than I had because the company had to wait on AHS for a response, then I had to wait on them and AHS had to order the appliance that I needed.

    Then, I had to pay the majority of the fee and AHS paid less. That bothered me because I pay $75 a month for my service. Then, if something breaks down, that's another fee. And when you look at that in two years, I could almost pay for my furnace for what I paid AHS for two years. So to me, there was some disparity.

    I had a tub diverter failure in one of my bathrooms and two of my toilets weren't filling up. It was a simple process to submit claims to American Home Shield whether online or on my phone. Their website was straightforward. There were no issues with requesting service and getting a response with the assignment and with the US Plumbing calling to schedule.

    The contractor was very responsive in making and keeping the appointment, while at the appointment and explaining the work that was being completed. They were very thorough and professional. We were concerned about having someone in our home during COVID but they had precautions that they take in. So, when the tech arrived at my door, there were no questions. There were no issues while he was working as well as his protection and cleaning the work area he was in. It was very good work. For people considering a home warranty, they should know what the warranty will cover ahead of time, so that there's no confusion as far as getting service, what’s being covered and understanding that service costs.

He said he had to cut a big old hole in there and that American Home Shield wouldn't pay to repair it when all he had to do was tighten up a screw. He left and didn't fix anything.

    Original Review: Feb. 1, 2021

    Our washing machine has started dropping nickel-sized chunks of rust into the laundry. It had been in the house when we bought it and it had some age. It has got some pretty severe rust around the lip of the hatch to the basket. The motor runs fine. It spins, drains, and fills. It still seems to do a fair job of cleaning. But every other load of wash, I'm picking bits of rust out of the laundry, and this stains clothing. So, I called American Home Shield and told them that about that and they sent a technician from Chesapeake Appliance out who took a look at it.

    The technician said that there was no mechanical issue. He said that to fix this, we would need to just order a new top unit where the hatch was because that was where the rust was and then he left. Not 15 minutes later, I got an email from American Home Shield that said that the claim was denied because the technician said that the issue was not normal wear and tear.

    I have spent the last week attempting to reach out to Chesapeake Appliance Repair to find out what the deal is, why the tech has written it up as not the normal wear and tear. But he never returns my phone calls. I've talked to three different people at Chesapeake Appliance Repair and I've left numerous voicemails. I've called at least six times, leaving voicemails every day, and I'm getting a response from them. So, I called American Home Shield today and they said that the tech wrote that it was not normal wear and tear. Still, I don't understand how a more-than-a-decade-old washing machine developing the rust problem is not normal wear and tear.

    American Home Shield told me that I could have another inspector come and look at it. So, they made an appointment for someone from Sears to come tomorrow. I'm hoping that they will find that this is not unusual and this is not the result of any abuse on our part. We've done nothing to cause this rust problem. But it's a problem, and it makes the washing machine unusable.

    We've only called American Home Shield twice. Once for a dishwasher, which failed to operate, and another one for the washing machine. Both times, it has been like pulling teeth to get the repairs done. It shouldn't be this hard. The problem appears to be Chesapeake Home Appliance because both times, they've been involved and their response is lackadaisical. They're non-responsive to their customers. They don't adequately explain what their report is going to show. They don't give copies of the reports to the customers. They're completely unacceptable. The fact that they're not contractually bound to the homeowners that they're servicing is probably the problem. But they are not a good company. Ultimately, the dishwasher was fixed. It is my hope that ultimately, the washing machine will be fixed.

    Biannually, we get our heater cleaned and have maintenance done. While doing so, the guy said, "Oh, it looks like this needs to be replaced here. And you have potential combustion that could start fire." I said, "We have homeowners insurance. So let me call them out." I called American Home Shield and when the guy they brought in came out, he said, "You need to replace this piece here. And this isn't covered by your insurance either. But I think it won't combust." He couldn't confirm it though. When I called the insurance back, I said, "I don't feel very comfortable by starting this heater. I have two kids." I also asked him to look at specific things that the maintenance guy said. One was the blower, and he didn't even look at it.

    I was standing right there and I even gave him the document that the maintenance guy mentioned. The guy said, "Well, let me get out a second opinion, and you'll only pay if he says the same thing that the first guy said." I said okay. The second gentleman who came out was from Kravets. I showed him the maintenance thing and he looked at it and he said, “Everything is completely fine.” He didn't mention anything that the first guy said and he explained certain things. He said, "Well, they're trying to sell you to go with them and get additional parts." He said, "But to even give you that extra confidence that what I'm saying is true, have the gas company come out. They come out for free." The gas company said, "Yeah, I agree with the Kravets guy."

    The Kravets guy was very professional and easy to understand. He triple checked everything. He went through everything that I asked him to do and beyond and made me feel very comfortable. I absolutely loved him. He didn't try to sell me on any extra whatever too. It was definitely 100 points better than the first guy. What's really nice is the technicians don't argue the point. It’s like, "Let me get you something." especially my second call, I was feeling very uneasy with the technicians who came out. He says, "No problem. Let's just bring another guy out" and explained the whole situation. That made me feel good.

    On the other hand, we had this company in our cabin, and it was a whole ordeal to get people out there. Maybe it's just a hard place to get to. It might have been sparse with companies to come out. That's why it took so long and even to pay that 'cause they couldn't find someone. We had to pay someone and then to get reimbursed, it took two months. I don't think we have American Home Shield for the cabin anymore, but we continued to have it here at the house.

    We had a plumber come from J&A South Park and he did a great job. He fixed the things that were wrong. The local people have been very good. But not everybody else. What happened was we had a furnace that the furnace company shut down because of a gas leak. In the winter, we were out for 13 days without a furnace and more beyond that without a gas stove. We had a terrible experience and I had an awful time calling. I called this claim in because the issues I was having were not on the American Home Shield website. It says, "Okay. Is it your appliance? Is it this?" There are very limited options and I wanted to talk to a person.

    I kept calling and I talked to people offshore in Trinidad and Asia like in the Philippines. This happened three to four times. I was told many times they were gonna do this but nothing ever happened. They never kept their word and these people don't call you back. They put you on hold and say, "Let me check this." And you know they're doing something else and not attending to my issue because 20 minutes later, they come back on the phone. It's been a nightmare dealing with people offshore. I actually called my Realtor who sold us the home warranty and he went to his local rep for American Home Shield. That was how I got connected to somebody stateside. To call another country for somebody to come that's just 15 minutes away is crazy. I very much disapprove of that. I will be leaving American Home Shield probably after a year specifically because of it being outsourced overseas.

So that is now 16 vacation hours I had to use, which is why I’m upset. AHS should never ever send Sears back to my house and they should get rid of them.

The basic service for the hot water heater was fine but the needed part was no longer available. So, AHS has to take the next step and replace my appliance.

    The process was good. I understand you got to order parts. And I understand, with the COVID right now, that it takes time for parts. But when the refrigerator first went down, I lost most of the food out of it. And then, when the tech told me it was fixed, we went to the grocery store that night. Again, we lost our food due to that. So, we've lost our food twice towards it. American Home Shield said that they don't take care of any type of spoilage, which I thought when I first signed up, they told me that they did take care of a certain amount of it. But I had a warranty on it before through the Lowe's when I first purchased it. And it definitely had where if anything spoiled inside of the refrigerator, you would get an amount back for that. That's the only thing that's disappointing is that I was sure that the woman, when I signed up, said that you got so much per pound, which was $1 or whatever. But they said that wasn't true.

    When the technicians come out to our home, it's been good for the most part. We've had a couple of issues where we had to have someone come back out but they always come back out and take care of it. Recently, Texas Best came out for the flame sensor that was short-cycling. I had to go back and fix it myself. The tech didn't clean all the carbon off it so I pulled it and cleaned it myself.

    AHS was hiring some subpar contractors to do the jobs. They did a repair on my AC system but not only did the tech do it poorly, he also did it unsafely to where it could have caught fire. But AHS has gotten much better now. We've had a refrigerator repaired twice and they did a great job. They've had the dryer repaired and did a great job too. AHS has been great. They've saved us a ton of money on the AC repairs that woulda cost us thousands of dollars.

    The icemaker quit working and the repairman came out and checked it out. The stepson of my husband lived here before and they had insects. Even though we got rid of the insects, they destroyed the computer board and that caused the icemaker to quit working. The repairman said that Home Shield would not cover it and I understood that. I appreciated him for being honest about it and he said I needed to put a new computer board in, but it would cost almost as much as a new refrigerator because it is a big side-by-side. If we were gonna have to pay for that out of our pocket, we might as well just get a new refrigerator, so that's what we're going to do.

    The service is excellent, except when I get stuck with a bad service provider. Once in a while, the guy who shows up doesn't want to do the job and creates excuses. I'm not a kid and I know that he's making excuses, but many times when American Home Shield reassigns to another firm, the issue is solved in a day. It has happened with me. Recently, there were two issues I needed fixed. My kitchen faucet wasn't working, and then the Insta-Hot wasn't working. One guy came and replaced the kitchen faucet. Two weeks later, another guy from the same company came to do the Insta-Hot. I told him the faucet doesn't retract back into place and he looked at it and said that the previous guy who came was too lazy.

    The previous guy didn't use the weight that came in the new faucet pack. He used the old weight, which did not work with the new pack. He messed it up and they ordered again. Today, they called me and set up an appointment for Monday to do it again. This was completely avoidable if the first guy had done the whole job properly. It's sloppiness on the part of the technician who came rather than anything to do with American Home Shield though. The only issue I have with AHS is that when I signed up, it was 50 bucks a month. Now, the monthly auto debit I see has climbed to almost 70 and I don't know what happened. Nobody ever wrote me anything.

    In the past, I sent in my claim over the phone, but this time, I did my microwave claim online. The online process was pretty good. It saved me some time. The service provider had to come out three times. But I don't hold them at fault for it because it was difficult to try to figure things out. When they left the first time, they thought it was fixed. So the claim was closed out. It wasn't intuitive to try to reopen a closed claim. But once I finally figured it out, it was easy. On the third visit, they said it was beyond repair and they would let American Home Shield know, and then they would be in touch with me. So I'm still waiting for American Home Shield and tell me what options I have to get a new microwave.

    We have a clothes washer and a dryer and one of them went bad. But American Home Shield's options to replace it were nowhere near the kind that we had. They didn't even care if it was the same color. But as far as responsiveness in getting out and trying to get stuff done, it was pretty good. The last one was even worse on my air conditioner. They ended up paying me $300 and it was gonna cost a couple 1,000 to get it fixed with their provider. But I found somebody else that did it for a little bit less. Regardless, the amount that they wanted to pay versus what it was really gonna cost wasn't even close.

    It was easy to submit a claim online when I had a problem with my heater. The options were kind of limited, and what I was hoping to get covered wasn't covered by the policy, which was disappointing because I did buy a large policy. I was going to make a claim because my stove pilot doesn't work either, but my existing installed appliances don't seem to be covered. So I would like for the policies to cover more of my appliances.

    I tried doing the live chat so that I could ask if something was covered and that took a very long time. I understand that part of it is because people are a little bit understaffed right now due to COVID. But it was very difficult to get on that chat and once I was on there, it dropped me, and then I had to sign up again to get back in line for the chat to be helped. Both of those times, it took over half an hour to get through to somebody. Also, it takes $75 to get a technician out just to look at the problem, and then tell me that it's not covered. I could do myself a lot of the things that are covered, like in basic plumbing, and not worth me calling a technician out here for $75. But I like the security of knowing if something does happen to the things that are covered that I have coverage on them.

It wasn't constantly coming on and then, it would come on, and then go off. So, basically, the area in order to keep the furnace lit was broken.

    When the first company came out, they only replaced a coil. So, the issue was never really applied. I called them back. They came out. They added some wires into the side so my button could work for my furnace to come on, and then told us to just use a screwdriver if it happens again. I wasn't satisfied with the first company's service. American Home Shield referred to another company. I contacted that company and they came out. The technician told me what the issue was. Once it got approved, he came out and solved the issue. It took three attempts to repair the furnace. But I've been having heat since then.

    I had a hard time with the first claim with the washer. It really disgusted me and I was about to drop AHS because it took about four months just to get one and I didn't know what the problem was. But I had to really make a bunch of phone calls. Then it took the longest for them to tell me what they were offering for the machine. I told them to just send me a check and let me get my machine. I talked to so many people.

    Now, my dryer was giving cold air and PJ Appliances was dispatched out. The gentleman told me that it was a fuse, and I paid $75 for that. He flipped it over, went in the back, went back to the truck, came back, he turned it on, and it got warm. But then he told me that I would be having the same problem again, which I do have now. But I can’t pay them another $75 for the same problem. He also said there was something in the vent and I would have to get it cleaned out. If I use it, I would have the same problem again. He could’ve just pulled that out, but he said that AHS won't cover that. So, I hadn't washed in a while. Then I just did some undergarments washed. It turned. When I went to take it out, when it stopped, it was cold.

    I would like to see AHS move a little faster because I could hardly get anybody on the phone and I had to wait hours. One time, I charged up my phone, and that phone sat for almost three hours, and it was two hours and 45 minutes before getting the battery on.

I did the claim online and then American Home Shield told me that a contractor had been notified. But I had to contact the contractor myself. Also, the item didn't even last a week when the same thing started happening again. So I called them directly and they're going to send the tech out. But I don't have to pay another call out fee. They're going to take care of it on that end. But that experience was fine overall. I just have had questions about some of the contractors that American Home Shield uses.

    When I had a claim for the washing machine, the gentleman came out and told me what the problem was. Then he came back two weeks later to make the changes. But then there was yet an occurrence of an entirely different issue. I didn't want to pay again for someone to come out for the same machine but different issue. So we just bought a new washing machine. But my biggest complaint was with the plumber that came out last spring. The way it's hooked up under there is ridiculous and when the electrician came by, he took pictures to go back and show people that he knows because he couldn't believe how the plumber hooked it up. It seems like American Home Shield doesn't want to replace items, which I understand them wanting to save money.

The guy came out and said I should not to be using the Cascade pods that I've been using because there was so many soapsuds. That was why it was leaking. So I got liquid dish soap and now it's working fine. But we had an issue when I went online to update my phone number. The site said it was updated. But the company didn't get the update fast enough and they called the number that was out of order. So they had to reschedule the service.

    Submitting a claim to American Home Shield has been fairly easy but there are some things that I wish are covered more underneath my warranty. But as far as the warranty itself, I've been pleased with it. I've only had to use it a couple times and it's always worked out for me. The supervisor and the foreman from On Time Plumbing came out and it wasn’t even 20 minutes, and they had the problem fixed. We sat there and talked and they did it for a little bit. Then, they were on their way.

    The furnace would kick on and then it would kick off, and then the flames wouldn't start. It was the same issue that I had around the end of December. The technician pegged it down to a pressure switch. The pressure switch issue came back. So he came back over here and fixed it. But it was harder to do a recall for the claim because you have to call and go on hold. American Home Shield’s hold times have been long. They weren't too bad when I called this one in, though. But I've had multiple issues with American Home Shield over the last number of months.

    American Home Shield's contractors are professional and on time. Everything is good with them. Their plumbing and HVAC contractors are good. But their appliance support, disconnection and everything else is unbelievably bad. I had a fridge problem that went on for months, and nobody knew which way was up. Two contractors told me that they couldn't work with AHS anymore. The first contractor used COVID as an excuse to back out of it. The second contractor let their contract expire at the end of the year. So I've had to switch contractors to fix appliances that have a really hard time dealing with AHS.

    I’ve had to file complaints with the Better Business Bureau. After spending way too much time on hold when I called AHS, I got ahold of somebody who would immediately apologize for every problem. They’d read through it and they’d promised to get back with me. But 95% of the agents would not get back with me. I'd have to call back in. They didn't follow up. I have one agent who called a couple of times and then he gave up. Another person that was in the parts department did a nice job at progressing one of the issues. I own six homes and I have three contracts with AHS. So I keep going through this, where contractors stop, and they've got to send somebody else back over. They don't know where the parts are on order.

    The good news is that I put something on Facebook three weeks ago and the AHS social media person has followed through brilliantly. She made sure that the parts are on order or if they're not on order, she gets the status. She's done a great job. Both of the issues that have been long term issues, a fridge at one property and an oven at another, have been finally dealt with. She did what should have been done six months ago. But I’m not going to renew with AHS as a result. I’m really at my wit's end.

    I submitted a claim a month ago for an air conditioning technician, and I would not recommend the contractor that was used to anybody. It was terrible. The guy that actually came to our house did a great job and he fixed it. But whoever owns that company that we talked to came without letting us know, and then he was really argumentative.

He drove back to his service center and picked the part up. He came back, installed a new part and left. He said if I made a call within 90 days and it's a recall, I won't pay anything. I'm the only person living here and I told him the amount of times that I would use the dryer within three months will be approximately six times.

    The first claim we did with American Home Shield was for our garage door. The spring snapped and we were disappointed to find out that they didn't cover that specific part. They only cover the electronic opener. It was a little bit misleading. They could be more detailed in their pamphlet showing what's covered so people are more informed before purchasing. But for this past claim, everything was simple to submit. Our heater just stopped working. A & R Complete Service's guy came out and diagnosed the issue.

We also had a contractor come out because the dishwasher wasn't spraying properly, which wasn't our fault. But they said that they couldn't do anything about it because the tray underneath the bottom rack wasn't the original part. We just moved into the house and we didn't put it in.

    The repair on the microwave was a little bit delayed. The handle was broken, the buttons didn't work, and the cap covering the vent was not attached. But because the claim was submitted over the phone, the gentleman didn't fully understand what needed to be repaired. When the technician came out to fix the problem with the buttons, the fan wasn't turning on and you couldn’t operate the microwave.

    Appliance Wizard was lovely. They came out for our oven. My husband was frustrated with getting the claim processed though. He does not want to do things on the internet. Trying to call in and get somebody from American Home Shield to help is not easy. It's not easy finding out whether they've scheduled someone or not. Then the nighttime people, they say that they'll get somebody scheduled, and then they're supposed to have somebody contact me back. After he called it and was on the phone, I got a text from somebody. They said that it would be two weeks before they could come out. Now, this is not uncommon with the company because I had the same issue with a refrigerator.

    The first person that they sent the oven repair to was taking so long. That was their first available appointment. So, I contacted them back and said, “The light to my oven is on. I don't know if this is a safety thing or not.” And nobody can tell me what it is, so next in two weeks is not good enough. AHS did switch it to somebody else. They did choose Appliance Wizard. They did a little bit more due diligence the second time I called. The technician was absolutely wonderful. He inspected the oven, told us what was wrong, and set up a time to come back with the part to fix it. He was true to his word and had it fixed the next day. They had a canceled appointment, so they got us in earlier to come fix. They communicated the whole time and were very professional. I would definitely recommend them.

    As far as American Home Shield, my first encounter with them was on our refrigerator. I didn't get a callback from the repairman for two weeks, and we lost everything in our fridge. Nobody told us that we could call them back and get a more urgent one. I had another repair done and talking to that person from a company side, they said that AHS was one of the better companies that they deal with with these warranty programs. I was kind of surprised. The lady for that repair told us what to say to them to get the repair done sooner. She was very knowledgeable and helped with the ongoing repairs that we would have to do. So, we've gotten our money's worth.

    The motor of our dishwasher wasn't working well. We made a claim for it and that was good. Gentlemen took the information and someone followed up with me. Technicians came out, they had to order a part and came back the following week. They did the job and off they went. They were really nice and very cooperative. They were neat and clean too. The dishwasher seems to be working well so far.

    This time, the claim was nothing major but I was a little bit surprised how this claim worked out. In the past, American Home Shield was terrible. I had a sewerage backup and I needed a plumber to come out. They gave me someone's name and the people called me to say they didn't do that anymore. It was an emergency and I had stuff all over my floor. I had to call my own plumber to do the job. They had to snake the clogged sewer line and in the process, broke the toilet. They ended up having to replace the toilet too.

    My charge for the snaking and what they did unclogging the line was 370 bucks. American Home Shield sent me $56, which I wasn't happy about. They said it was because I called my own person. I told them that was because their person said they couldn't do it. I added that that contractor should not even be on their list if they don't do this stuff anymore. If they have a person that doesn't do the work anymore, they should have a backup available immediately. This was a bad experience. I also had another claim where they didn't respond well either and I had my own people come out. It seems like American Home Shield gets these contractors and some of them are good while some just aren't.

    I get calls constantly about changing my service over to one of the other warranty companies. I've been with American Home Shield for about a year or so. I'm not a real changer. American Home Shield stepped up to the plate the last time and that was good. I was pleased with that.

    The trouble that we had was if we used any water like flush the toilet, wash our hands, dishes or clothes, that water all came out into the basement, out of a pipe. But D & B Plumbing came out and did a very good job. The repairman was very thorough and got the whole problem taken care of. Now we can use our water all at once. We were very pleased. Thankfully, American Home Shield was fast about getting somebody out here. Another time, we had a problem, and we had to wait a lot of days. But this time, it happened on a Saturday. Nobody was working on a Sunday, so they came and fixed it on Monday. That would be the main thing, just to be able to make sure things, especially things that are making your life a terrible wreck, get fixed as fast as possible. But they were. They did really good this time.

    We had at least one or two times that somebody came out for something that was relatively small, you have to pay $100 no matter what. The guy couldn't believe that we had to pay $100 because he said it didn't cost anything like that. It's really good if there is something that is going to cost more than $100. But it doesn't work out too well if it will only cost $40 or $50, and we had to pay a 100. We pay quite a bit of money a month to have it. Big things, we would think that they would pay for them. But after we paid the $100 for little things that cost less than $100, we don’t have to pay more than we would have to if we called somebody ourselves and had them come.

    The water heater was leaking badly and it needed to be replaced. Keilly's did absolutely wonderful. They responded within 12 hours of being notified. They assessed the problem and found out that they could replace it. They came back four hours later and then six hours after they were there, we were back with hot water. I can't have enough good words for them. The claims process worked real well this time. Sometimes, it would take three days. But sometimes, it's a weekend issue. Other than that, the process is fine and real easy. I've had two warranty companies that didn't work, and American Home Shield has always been the better of them.

    Considering how unpredictable stuff can be around the house, I would recommend American Home Shield. In my brief experience, it was worth it because they came and resolved the problem with zero resistance. My pump motor burnt out, and the contractor contacted me and I spoke to them over the phone briefly. They had me send them pictures of the part then they came, checked it out and replaced it. It was seamless. They also left the area the same way it was before they got there. They did an outstanding job. Looking at the big picture though, I bought the part already 'cause I pay on a monthly basis.

    Something happened with my refrigerator. I went online and submitted a claim. That was easy and simple. The technicians sent me a message to tell me they were on the way. When they came, they did a good job. My service with American Home Shield has been good so far. The only thing is if you have the same problem happen again like with your air conditioning service, American Home Shield should look at sending out the same company because after a while, they understand your equipment. They know what they did to repair the equipment the first time and they know what the issue was. American Home Shield can look in their system and say whether it's the same tech or not. They can call each other. When American Home Shield continues to send out different companies, it's almost like you as the owner understand what's going on but you keep starting over with a different technician.

    The heater wouldn't come on one morning. The contractor texted me, “Would Monday between 11:00 and 3:00 work?” About halfway through the day, it dawned on me to check the circuit breaker. I texted back, “Can I talk to a technician before we schedule the appointment?” They called me and I told them, “I just flipped the breaker. Do I need to make the appointment with the electrician instead, or is it still you guys?” They said 90% of the time, it's still them so they came out and inspected the heater on Monday.

    American Home Shield has been good but it's more costly than I expected. It gives me peace of mind because I go on a lot of travels, so it's just my wife at home. If something comes up and I'm not around to look at it, she can set up an appointment, somebody will come and look at it. When the contractor showed up for the furnace originally, they said that the control board had shorted out. So they ordered one and replaced that but the problem still existed. So they came back out and that was when they found a relay pack that was bad. First, they tried to replace that by ordering it but it was not made anymore. Then they tried the whole blower but that was not made anymore. So the next is to replace the whole thing and we're scheduled for Thursday.

    H and J Heating and Air went through everything with me. They even called when they realized the parts weren't made anymore, explained that this would end up being more likely things I would have to pay for. So even before they did the quote, they kind of walked me through what to expect. They also called me because we went with the upgrade option since it made sense to replace everything at once.

    The claim was easy to set up. But the timeframe of getting somebody out there was kind of a drag and also if they have to order parts. I've had some issues with technicians in the past that I've been a little upset with, where they came out for a repair but didn't repair the problem. They just kind of put a Band-Aid on, which I talked to the company about. With this recent repair, Sears was good. But the prior contractor for our refrigerator repair was kind of bad.

    American Home Shied has been pretty good. Stuff has been handled and taken care of. But some of their contractors in the past have had some bad reviews. You have to wait sometimes, and they say, "Oh, we're going to be Dixon next week or two weeks from now," which is kind of ridiculous. To me, they should be able to come out in a couple of days and diagnose the problem. So American Home Shield should look at some of their contractors, and they should have more of a quicker response to get out to repair something.

    Updated on 02/12/2021: I wrote a review on how American Home Shield are are crooks. Somebody responded and said they would like to resolve the problem. He was a liar because I left him my number and he has yet to call me back. He only wrote under my review to make everyone think he wanted to resolve the issue. They know exactly what they are doing and that’s why Carolina One dropped them because of how they kept ripping people off.

    Let me explain how to avoid company’s like this sailing snake oil. If I pay them $50 a month they for 12 months that is $600. If your A/C breaks they will pay you $340. You are better off putting $50 a month into your savings account for a year. Don’t give these lying thieves a penny. I know a personal story where somebody had the same thing happen to them. American home shield tried to pay them $340 towards their bill. This person paid American home shield a total of $15,000. I really hope nobody is ever deceived by this company again. On another note I called them back and talked to 7 different people and nobody would help me with the horrible price they gave me!!!!

    Original: I recently had my air handler have a leak in the coil. I am a Contractor and signed up for American Home Shield from a reference. I called in a work order on January 6, 2021 and the technician diagnosed it as a leak in the coils. He suggested the air handler be replaced because he could make more money. I didn’t want to use him because of his dishonesty so I requested the cash out option. The technician would only give me the breakdown price of what they were charging me but would not tell me what he was charging American home shield.

    The total cost for me was $1800. The cash out was $340. American home shield was trying to claim that they get some special discount on the air handler and that’s why they were only paying $340. This $340 supposedly covers the air handler his labor and $10 per pound of Freon. This was an absolute complete lie. The air handler alone was a minimum of $1000. What American home shield did is they work out a lie with the technician. The technician in turn charges me for the material and calls it labor. They use the word modifications. They don’t pay for modifications.

    When I called them and talk to seven different people all they did is say, "In section 5 blah blah blah this is all we’re going to give you." I explain to them what I said in this review and they said the same thing over and over and over again. The biggest mistake they made is a contractor buying their warranty because I know their lies because I see what other contractors do but I don’t do the same thing. We seem to be in the world of the United States where lies are supposed to be truths.

    I know somebody who works for Caroline one and they told me they used to have American home shield. After they ripped off about 500 of their customers they finally dropped them. One person paid into them 25 years and they only gave them $340 to replace their hot water heater and their air handler. You might as well use the money you were paying them monthly put it in the savings account and within three months you will get back with all pay you for the next 25 years. They are the biggest scam artist I’ve ever come in contact with.

    I'm happy with AHS. I get good service from them. I like the fact that I can budget my cost for repairs. When their contractors had come out, they had consistently only charged me the service fee to get the repairs done. I don't feel like I've been ripped off at all. It's gone up over the years but that's not a big deal and the repairs are completely done. The companies they have contracts with hire professional people because I've never been bothered by the people in my home. I had a couple of issues recently. One was an icemaker and one was a washing machine. The technician diagnosed that there wasn't anything wrong with the washing machine and it is true. For the icemaker, that was the second time they'd come out to try to repair it and it's still not working.

    The guy who came out for our plumbing claim was good. The toilet was leaking and it was fixed. Then the shower was leaking behind the wall. I thought it was plumbing behind the wall leaking but it wasn't. So I fixed it myself. It just needed to be caulked and the shower had a crack in it and water was spraying and getting behind the tile. But AHS doesn't replace showerheads. It wasn't the guy's fault and it wasn't a big deal.

    As soon as the guy from the first company came in the door, he started evaluating stuff and kept saying, "The only problem is if it's covered." He didn't even have a snake to even try to unclog it. Then they would charge me 740 something dollars because they gotta rent a snake to come back out to my house. He called AHS saying it's roots in it, and this and this, and so AHS wouldn't pay for it. He told me to call the city and ask them to get the camera first, to see where the roots are at, because that was not my fault. Then I could call them back out and they would charge me just to dig. He also said that when the city comes out and shows me, I've got to point and make a mark where it's at and make them do the digging as it would be cheaper on me. If they do the camera, it would have been 400 or something. But at least that company came out and helped me out.

    If thinking about it, I had to pay American Home Shield 100, then I still got to pay these other people 'cause it was something in the line, then 700 and something just to snake it out, knowing that I still have this issue, and yet they would rent a machine. It doesn't even take that much if you rent one. I was so confused. I live alone and I learned to catch on to stuff like this because they see me coming and I'm an old lady, and they gonna try to get me. I felt like this company wanted me to forcefully use them with that money because the guy knew that my waste would be in my yard. He looked back at me and I asked if we could use the bathroom. He said that if we'd use it, it would go in our yard, and he just left abruptly.

    That night, I was getting ready to give them the $700. The girl called back and told me what they said. I was trying to get it where I could pay half and half. The lady called back saying they couldn't accept that. It's the whole thing at the time. I called AHS back and told them that I wanted another company out here on second opinion. I explained to them what the first company told me. The guy from AHS understood and said he'd get another one. I had to keep the cap off the thing all night. Me and my daughter tried to not go to the bathroom as much.

    Pro-Tec came out the next day. The guy took his time and he asked me several questions. I told him what the guy had and he said that the guy didn't have the right thing. He snaked it out it and cleared it. As a customer, you gotta watch some of the companies that come out 'cause if you ain't smart enough, you ain't gonna catch them. It didn't take that guy anything to snake it out, and he did a minute. He said there were a little bit of roots in there but he still stuck it out and he told me what to do. I recommended AHS to people because that was not their fault.

    I'm a young single mom in her first house. It's a three-year old house and I had it built. I knew I was going to be having a new set of expenses. Once those new home warranty things were off and they become limited warranty on parts, not labor, I knew that I needed to be able to have a dependable plan for when something happens to one of my appliances or a garage door opener. I needed to make sure that my daughter and I can be safe and get whatever we need fixed, and then for me not to go broke over it. I really looked into it and the reviews and I chose American Home Shield because the deductibles are reasonable.

    I'd much rather pay $100 versus having something done out of my own pocket. Most people right off top, it's 150 or 250 just to come out. It doesn't include the part or the labor being done on that. For me, that makes all the difference in the world. It's my income. AHS also covers a slew of stuff that other people don't even cover for extended home warranties and they are very clear about what payments are going to be taken out or if something changes in the plan. I never felt like they were trying to pull the okey doke 'cause they keep good communication with their customers or if there's an update in the policy. I thought, "Okay. Let's see how this goes.”

    My first time having used them was an easy process and I appreciated that. I called the gas company before I called American Home Shield because I smelled gas. When they came and checked it out, the guy cut off the water heater and said, "This is dangerous because any little spark could have ignited an explosion." When the repair guy from AHS contacted us to come out before they came to the house, I gave him all the insight and the paperwork that the gas company had given me. He was professional and very knowledgeable about what happened. He did extra precautionary measures and he was careful about keeping his distance. The issue got fixed quickly too.

    My dad and I both have American Home Shield and he's told me his experiences with it as well. People need to realize that when they get in their house, there's no landlord. A lot of people get resale houses and neither the real estate agent nor the title company informs people, especially younger homeowners like myself or even younger. I had a new build and I had this happen. Think about people that have resale houses. You don't know all the history of the house, why wouldn't you get an extended home warranty? It's a no-brainer.

    The process of doing a claim online to American Home Shield is very easy. Sometimes, to get an actual appointment for a company to come out takes a while. But I understand that. They're busy. In a perfect world, they’d come out like today and get our hot water going again. I understand it takes a couple days. But I think the process went well.

    My Georgia Plumber came out recently. We had a window that they communicated to us. Then, on the day of, the window changed on one of the appointments. It was fine because my wife happened to be home. She's working from home right now. Had it been non-COVID times, we probably wouldn't have been here. We were told 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Then, the day of, they called way earlier than 1:00 and said, “Hey, we're on the way. We'll be there in 20 minutes.” There was some kind of drastic shift in the time. It wasn't a big deal but had it been in the past when we were both at work, that would have been a problem.

    We had a complex thing this time. We had a tub faucet that was leaking, and we also had a water heater that was broken. Our water heater needed to be replaced, as well as some gas line work. The faucet needed to be fixed. So, we were waiting on the water heater to be shipped to My Georgia Plumber so that they could bring it and install it. We called American Home Shield and they said, “We don't know when it's shipping.” We called My Georgia Plumber and they said, “We can't make an appointment until we get an ETA for the water heater.” We were like, “Okay, so who knows? At some point, somebody sent it, and the company should tell you something about a shipping estimation, maybe.” My Georgia Plumber was like, “Well, we don't know, so we'll talk to you later.” Meanwhile, we didn't have any hot water, and we were having to go shower at gyms and at work.

    It felt a little bit like neither party really took ownership of the situation and was trying to get to the bottom of what the plan was. We were told it could be a week, two days from then or the next week. So, that was a little frustrating. My wife eventually called American Home Shield and got some more definitive information. Then, they changed the appointment to a sooner date and it was fine. But sometimes, we wish that there was a little more coordination on the part of American Home Shield to tell us, “Hey, this is what's happening. This is when something's going to arise. This is the plan, we'll let you know if it changes or whatever.”

    I had to have the refrigerator turned all the way up in order for the freezer to freeze. I called American Home Shield and they took care of it. The contractor already brought the part and replaced it. My refrigerator has been functioning fine. But when submitting a claim, it's difficult getting through. You're on hold for a long time. Also, things could be done faster. My stove needed to be replaced, and that has taken about two months. It took a long time for them to send somebody. I'm supposed to get the replacement on Friday. But everything has been two to three months before things are replaced.

    American Home Shield also replaced my washer. It's a stacking washer and it had shipping bolts. The little tag on it said it has four shipping bolts and to make sure to take them off. But the people that brought it only took off two. They did not attach the dryer to the washer at all when they put it. When I tried to use my washer, the dryer came down and hit the wall. The wall stopped it from falling over because it was a tighter space. I had somebody else look at it and they took the shipping bolts off. Then they bolted it together for me like it was supposed to be.

    Submitting a claim was okay, but the reps on the phone didn't know exactly what I was talking about. It was like a language barrier. When I called for the heater thing, they asked me if it's the furnace, and I said we don’t have furnaces in Texas. They also asked if it's the boiler, and I got so frustrated with them. They finally got it when I told them the HVAC system. But they didn't know about that. The issue was on the relay switch. They're supposed to turn it back on, and it needed to be replaced. The last people that Home Shield sent were very timely, professional, and got the job done quickly.

    When we had the leak under the slab, they sent somebody out and diagnosed it, but it wasn't covered. They also had someone come out to look at our dryer. But it was three or four returns before it was fixed and that took at least six weeks. Sometimes the people that come out don't have enough knowledge to know what's wrong.

He knew what the problem was once he looked at the dryer. It turned out that a plug wasn’t plugged all the way. He really didn't have a lot to do but he double-checked everything like the settings. He cleaned it out. Everything's working fine now.

    My recent claim experience with AHS was amazing. I like the tech. He came to fix the heater. When he left, I realized that the temperature was not changing. So I called him back and then he told me that I had to submit another order for him to come back and see the thermostat. He came back the day after. He fixed it because the thermostat was not working, so he replaced that also. Now the heater's working. The AC broke down one time. The guy who came said that it was the pump. He took it out and then it took almost a week to come back and fix it. I told my friend and my sister about AHS, that they should look into it. It's better to have it than be sorry.

    I called American Home Shield to submit a claim and it was pretty seamless. United Air Temp came over last week to repair my heater. It was just making a lot of noise. I was up on the terrace door and I could hear the heater cranking up whenever it was starting to heat the house. The service that was provided by United Air Temp was excellent. The tech was really good. So far, our experience with AHS has been good. We switched over from Sears Home Warranty and so far, we’ve been happy with AHS.

    Our heater wasn't heating up at all. When we turned the heater on, cold air was coming out. The claim submission with American Home Shield was pretty smooth. It took me about five minutes to do it. Their website is very user friendly and it provides every step you need to take before you submit. Then it said they'd reach out within 24 hours and they made an initial contact to set up an appointment. The contractor came out and got it taken care of. My heater was up and running very quickly. It was phenomenal. I live in Nebraska, so it can be freezing cold right now. The repair has worked out perfectly and my heater has been working better than new. I was very pleased with American Home Shield.

    The tub in the guestroom wasn’t draining at all. I went to the American Home Shield website on my phone and was able to put in a request. It was pretty easy to do but some of the issues they have listed on the website are a bit vague. I realize they can't list every single problem that might happen but some of them seemed a little bit weirdly worded to me. Within an hour after I put in the ticket for the tub, the contracting company called me. I was surprised at how quickly they called. Then the guy came out the next day and fixed it lickety-split. It was really good.

    American Home Shield sent out a different contractor for a plumbing issue before, and I ended up having to call them after a couple of days because I didn't get a contact back. Then when I was calling them, their voicemail box was full. So I couldn't even leave a voicemail. I ended up having to call American Home Shield and say that these people weren't answering and I couldn't get through to them. American Home Shield had to call and contact them. It was several days of waiting to hear back from that company.

    We've had to call American Home Shield several times on the same issue because the contractors come out and they are instructed to do the littlest possible to fix the problem. Don’t go overboard, fix the problem but try to spend the least amount of money doing it, because that's their business model. It’s a little bit frustrating at times but I appreciate that that's the position they're in.

    We had a blower motor go out on our heater on one of our units. Atchley Air was very timely getting here, diagnosing it and getting it repaired all on the same day.

    My recent claim experience with AHS was really good. It was very professional. However, the communication was a bit missing, where I have to reach out to American Home Shield to ask for updates, rather than they providing me periodic updates. But it was still a good service. One time, we had to do some maintenance work on my AC. That was all good and they were very prompt and very responsive.

    Sometimes when I submit a claim on the web page, it takes a long time to get a reply back. Also, it can go back and forth multiple times before all the questions are answered. When I use the number, I can directly talk with a representative and get things resolved. It's a good experience with AHS and I would recommend it to my family and my friends.

    When I first started using American Home Shield, submitting a claim was easier and they did a better job. But now, it's too hard to get back through. For example, I’ll go a year and a half and not need them. But then I'll have a couple of things happen at one time. I had a garbage disposal that went out two weeks ago. I called and got the plumber. The plumber had been out before and had no problems. But there was a 10-minute lapse in the time my wife had gone to pick up the grandkids and when they called me, it was 2:20. The plumber said he could be at our house in 20 to 25 minutes. But my wife usually gets back home exactly three o'clock and I couldn't leave work that day. So I asked if he could give me a 10 or 15 minute window? But he didn't even call me back.

    At 4:30, I called the plumber to find out what happened because he didn't call me back. He said the owner of the company told him to go to the next job and he wouldn't be able to get to me that day at all. I had already waited three days to get somebody there, so I called and I explained to the receptionist at the plumbing company the importance of them getting back to my house because I was without the garbage disposal. It was leaking all under my sink. Everything had been out for four days and I wanted to get it fixed. I didn't want it put off another couple of days. He said they would get somebody here the next day at three o’clock. It was scheduled 3:00 to 6:00. The guy showed up around 5:30 and he did a great job. He was in and out within 30 minutes. I was very pleased with the service.

    When the washer went out, I told American Home Shield that I didn't want the guy that worked on it before. He was from Shinmen and he cussed in my house. He worked on the microwave and then he had to work on the same washer. He had such an attitude. He slammed stuff around. I called the company back and found out that he had been with the company for two weeks. There was no training. So this time around, American Home Shield sent out Sears. They came in Monday of this week. They told me the part for my washer was no longer available. So I've been waiting since Monday to hear about that and now it’s Thursday. They promised me last night after being on the phone for an hour that they would call me today and let me know something about the washer. Overall, American Home Shield has good service. But the quality of some of the repairmen are not as good as they used to be.

    The tech that came for our washing machine was a great guy. It was leaking but it wouldn't recreate when he was here. But as soon as he left, it started up again. It's an old machine so we decided just to get a new one. American Home Shield always provides really great service people and customer service. I had a really wonderful experience with the gentlemen who came out with Precision Door that did our garage door fix. He came back two days in a row and he didn't have the exact right part. But he worked and worked and worked to get it fixed. That's really been our experience with everybody that they have assigned to work on different things in our house.

    The heat was not staying on. And when it was running, it was loud. The fan was loud, like metal on metal. We placed the order. East Ohio Furnace Company came out the day the order was placed. The tech was very professional. He followed all COVID procedures. He got right to work, knew what he was doing. H+e fixed a bunch of stuff. And the system is beautiful. We have not had any problems since he left. It was the easiest claim I've ever had. Have that company come out for all the problems. They were fabulous. American Home Shield has been very helpful.

    My dishwasher wouldn't dry. It wouldn't go through cycles unless you keep punching buttons, opening doors, or try to make it skip over to make it go. I made a claim with AHS and the first guy that came out said that the motherboard was going bad, so he ordered some new wiring to put on there. Then, the second guy came and he didn't hook that up. He was also asking for some vinegar to try to change the filter thing. He used up my two gallons of vinegar, my two boxes of baking soda, and he still couldn't get it in. But he returned the ordered part. In the end, I got the dishwasher replaced, so I'm happy now. Everything is awesome and I love my dishwasher. All in all, AHS is reliable and having them gives me a peace of mind. I call them, they come out, and they get everything done.
