    I'm very impressed with what American Home Shield did. My central VAC went out. So, they had someone dispatched to come. They had a company that was called Beam Easy Living. They came out. I have never been so impressed. My central VAC, which has been here as long as I've been here, just died. A young lady came out. Her name was Britney. She said, “Okay. I don't even have a circuit board to replace, so I have to take it back to the office.” She took it back to the office. Two days later, I got a call and they said, “Okay, we got it. We fixed it. It kept blowing out. We didn't know what was going on. We got it. It's working.”

    They brought another guy out named Ryan who was just as nice as Britney. He fixed it, but he said, “Something's wrong with this electrical.” First of all, it shouldn't even be where it is, and the central VAC people installed it themselves. So, I said, “Oh, really? ‘Cause it's worked for 20 years. It’s never been a problem.” He was concerned because when he left, it didn't work. I tried to use my vacuum cleaner, and it didn't work. He went to the whole house with me to check every place it plugged in. It worked, and then it didn't work.

    So, I called him up. I said, “Hey, Ryan. It’s not working.” He said, “Really? Okay. I want you to do me a favor. Go find another plug, plug it in, and see if it works.” I did that, and it did. He said, “Okay. It's something wrong with that outlet.” I was like, “Oh, God, I gotta get an electrician now. What's going on?” I was thinking they're just gonna say, “Call me back,” and “No. We don’t do the central VAC. I'm sorry. You gotta fix that.” I got a call from an electrician. American Home Shield called an electrician and said, “We need you to go check on this because it's not working. It's not safely working.” They didn't want my house to blow up.

    So, I'm waiting. Today, the electrician’s supposed to look at it and see if it mounted right or see where the source is. What they don't know is where's that source of electricity coming from for that outlet and why did it work for 20 years and now it's not working at all. I'm very impressed with how quickly they respond. Their website is amazing. The people are super nice.

    As a matter of fact, I didn't have American Home Shield and a friend of mine, one of my neighbors, told me about them. I live in Sacramento where we get three-digit days, and I'm living in summer because I couldn't afford to get a new heater. When I heard about them, I signed up with them and had to wait three months. They came out. It was a big job. They said, “This is the minimum it's gonna cost you.” They did it. I have stories like that all day long for them.

    I had a refrigerator that's just as old as my house, and it was custom front with the wood, sort of like a Sub-Zero. It died. I went looking for a new refrigerator because I forgot that American Home Shield will do all my appliances. My brother said to me, “Don't you have that American Home Shield? Just call them.” I did and my deductible was $100. Someone came out. They totally replaced the panel in the back of my refrigerator versus me having to spend $2,500 to buy a new refrigerator. So, I am grateful because one of the guys came out.

    My dishwasher died. I've used them. I've got my money's worth. My molding around my floor, the bottom, my base, the wood was starting to crumble. I was like, “What’s going on?” My brother said, “You got a leak in your dishwasher.” I said, “No, I don't. There could’ve been blah, blah, blah.” He said, “No, sis. It doesn't work like that.” My brother's a contractor. So, I called AHS. Somebody came out and fixed it. I had a garage door issue. They deal with the appliance, but not the door. So, my problem was with the door. They gave me my money back. They didn't charge me the deductible. American Home Shield's contractors are very solid. They never send you junk. They really do their due diligence on vetting their service providers.

    The contractor came in really quick and fixed the water back-up in the tub. They were very, very efficient. They were in and out in in less than 30 minutes. They were super friendly and very knowledgeable. I had some extra questions on the drains in my sink and the tech took a quick look at them and said those were fine. The back-up was caused by a big old blob of hair stuck in the drain. The tech gave me some tips on how to kind of prevent that from happening again. So we put something in place to trap all the hair so it doesn't happen again. We've always been super happy with AHS.

    I filed a claim with AHS via a phone call for an exhaust fan in the bathroom because the website was down. Submitting claims with them has always been wonderful and for this claim, the contractor called me within 24 hours and made an appointment. The techs who came out were professional and they gave me a follow-up call after they were out there. They haven't fixed the problem yet, but we will have heat in the bathroom. I lost the heater and the exhaust fan, and they are ordering the part or a replacement if they can't find the part. All in all, I've used AHS several times and my experience with them has always been easy and professional.

    American Home Shield sent A-US Air Conditioning of Texas for our air conditioning issue. The technicians came and they were in the attic and they were fixing the coils. My husband was here that day. I had to leave. But when I left, they were upstairs fixing the coils. They came down, went to finish it and it wasn't turning on. So they said they were going to call one of their other technicians to come by. The gentleman came back later and said that the Freon needed to be topped off. A wire was loose in the connection to the thermostat. Once he did that, it kicked on. The AC seems to be fine. We have noticed that now when it kicks on though, it kicks on hard. The return vent is right outside our door. Every time it kicks on, it kicks on to where we wake up.

    American Home Shield did resolve my issue. Thank you.

    Original Review: Jan. 30, 2021

    I went onto the webpage to submit a claim. I called every other day to follow up because no one was calling me. A company originally came out and told me that my AC unit needed to be fully replaced. However, they were charging me for items that in my contract said should be covered by American Home Shield. I brought that to their attention. The company refused to change the invoice to remove those items that are covered in the contract so that I would just pay for the items that were not covered. I was constantly following it up and I really didn't get the resolution that I was looking for.

    I ended up having to wait a few more days afterward in order for another contractor to come out. It was inconvenient and uncomfortable because my house did not have heat at that time. I wish it could have been a little bit more streamlined of a process, but I couldn't ascertain if it was American Home Shield’s fault 100%, or if it was the contractor that was scheduled to come out to my home the first time.

    The ease of making a claim was very easy. But this experience soured my taste towards American Home Shield. The people that I spoke with were very apologetic when I called, but when I raised my concerns, no one ever called me back to follow up with me to make sure. The company that were contracted out to me have reached out to me twice in the past two days just to make sure everything is working, that I was satisfied with the services that they rendered. American Home Shield did not do that.

    In my opinion, as the customer, to have to continue to call about a claim that I put in day after day was not the most professional way to handle things. But I also understand that it's a company that has lots of customers, I'm not the only one. I just wished that it was a little bit better customer service-wise that was provided to me. Overall, it wasn't a pleasant experience. I was given a one year warranty when I purchased the home and it was already included in the sale of this property. But I would not renew my contract with American Home Shield at this time. I would probably go with another company once this one year is up.

    American Home Shield usually takes care of whatever the problem is without any issues. One time, I was told the heat wasn't working. The repair company looked at the furnace and they determined they had to put a new furnace in because parts were not available on that furnace, which other people have told me that as well. When the unit dies, eventually, it's going to have to be changed. I was a little leery at first, but I knew they weren't making it up. They got it reported fast and it was approved then they had it all in and working in two days. They were here on a Monday and they were done by 3 o'clock on Wednesday. They were quick.

    I had an electrical and a microwave problem at the same time. It took a little time, but we got them both fixed. The electrician was trying this thing and that thing and this thing when he finally came. And then, he said, "Can I put a hole in your wall?" I was like, "Yeah." But it was behind the microwave, so we covered it up. Then, he followed the trail of the cord, went into the living room, went to the socket, that was the issue. It took him some time to troubleshoot, but finally, we figured out what the problem was. And then, once he fixed it, it was good. He was good at what he did. But it was a problem that wasn't readily repaired. So, he stayed a whole hour until we finally figured it out. Also, it has ripped out all the sockets in the kitchen. The other things have been relatively straightforward, except for the microwave. It took a little more time, but it did get fixed.

    The tub, no matter how much drainer I put in, it wasn't working. The contractor came and snaked out the drain. That worked fine. My guy for the garbage disposal said, "Your garbage disposal's leaking. It's old and needs to be replaced." I looked at it. I told the guy when he came out, and he said he had them on his truck and he put a brand-new red one. It's pretty. So, everything in my home is fixed now and everything is new. I have a new refrigerator, range, water heater, HVAC, and now I got a new garbage disposal.

    What helps me out is I'm a new homeowner, and for two years, I've lived in this condo. And even though everything in it has been refurbished, we've had the problems that I've listed. I live in that apartment for eight years, and when you live in an apartment, if I had a maintenance issue, I would call the office, and then they would send somebody out. They usually get out in a couple of days. For me, American Home Shield is so valuable because I'm not that handy. You can't do plumbing, electrical, garbage disposal, microwave. These are things that takes an expert to do.

    As a new homeowner, a single woman and prior apartment owner, it's really nice to have this service. I know there is a cap. It's 75. It used to be 50, but it went up. I pay that, the guy comes out and we're good. I'm very happy with the service. I never added it up to see was I getting the value for what I'm paying. But the thing is the convenience. If I'm working, I can just call and get somebody and get the thing fixed. I have a peace of mind, knowing I can get my stuff fixed when they break. I love AHS.

    Submitting the claim to American Home Shield is no problem. You submit it and they charge you the 100 bucks. And then they assign a company or a technician to you. Our home is five years old. We had it built. Appliance Express honored our warranties on refrigerators, microwaves, the wall oven, most of those appliances. Before AHS came along, Appliance Express has been phenomenal. They know what they are doing, and they are professional and courteous. And this was no different. I have a freestanding ice maker which is underneath the bar. Had a guy walk in, it took him two minutes to think he found the problem, which he did. They ordered a part. Three working days later, the technician came out, put the part in. Those guys spent no more than 30 minutes in our home. And we've got ice.

    I had a rare situation two months ago where we couldn’t flush a single commode in the house. We found this at 8 o'clock at night. I gave AHS the order, they came back within two hours and said, “Your contractor has been assigned.” I looked up the contractor. He opens his office at 8:00 in the morning. I give them a call at 10 to 8:00, to make sure he had my message to set up an appointment. Never called me back until 8:20. I called him. He said he couldn't get out for two days. We don't have a single commode in this house. A new and expensive home. We can’t flush it. When I called back, AHS was nice enough to take the time to find me another contractor. But it was a plumbing problem. Roots had gotten into our piping between the house and the street. But they wouldn't cover it.

    We've had several minor things, like our fault circuit breakers went out, and that was done quick and easy. I could probably do it for the same amount that I pay AHS. But anything of a major expense, to this point, they have found a way not to pay for it. I had to pay. We had a garbage disposal problem. They told me, “Well, you put meat down the garbage disposal.” I did. But it's not like I put a whole roast down there. I put meat scraps. They wouldn't cover that. I'm disappointed in AHS, but some of their contractors have been excellent. AHS should cover some of these things that one would think are supposed to be covered, instead of trying to find a way out.

    I had a leaky kitchen faucet and I submitted a claim to American Home Shield. They told me that they would contact somebody and that somebody would reach out within 24 to 48 hours. A day later, Street Plumbing and Rooter called. They were pleasant and showed up a little early. They were professional and got the repair done quickly. Now, there’s no leaky faucet, which means there’s not water going down the drain that one is paying for. I've only been with AHS for about six months but so far, I’ve had a good experience with them.

    The electricity wasn't working in my son's room and the master bedroom. It was pretty simple and straightforward to submit the claim. The electrician came to my house and embarrassed me in a joking way. He just had to go to the electric box and switch something that I overlooked. So, we laughed about it. He was good and he explained certain things. I avoided getting American Home Shield for quite some time because I wasn't sure about how it worked. But a lot of people who have it had said how simple it was, so I decided to get it and it worked out.

    At first, there was a company that was supposed to contact me and they didn't. So, I called American Home Shield and they connected me to Tom Melton Services. They came the next day. The repair guy had to unclog some water from my basement. The water was bad so he had to run his machine there to clear it. I was satisfied with the service. AHS is something you should have because you never know what might happen in your house such as calling the plumber. It helps a lot.

    There was a leak and we weren’t initially able to locate where it was coming from. We eventually did and we were able to get a plumber to come out. He needed to replace the laundry box, which he did. But, in doing so, you have to cut a significant section. Then, there were leaks coming through the garage and he cut some right there too. Nick, the contractor, came out today and rough patched both of those areas. He was prompt and professional. It would be nice if everything could get resolved just in one ticket. But for something like this, we had to involve a number of different contractors. Given that it was a complicated issue, everyone handled it well. We're satisfied with American Home Shield.

    Do not buy this warranty. If there was an option for zero stars I would have given it. Horrible service, no follow thru and they do everything they can to not replace appliances they know can not be fixed. My 80 year old parents have been waiting over 2 months for a refrigerator repair and they refuse to replace the unit. 3 repairmen have been out, nobody can fix it.

    I own properties all over California and Utah, have felt with many home warranty companies after escrow for other homes and this one is by far the single worst for customer service, response time, and helpfulness! I am in a state of complete shock for how I have been treated as if my claim is a bother to them. I just purchased a condo, cleared inspection for the heating system in my place which is a hydronic system, split system that runs off of my water heater with no furnace in my place!

    The hot water regulator is broken due to normal wear and tear and since the system is obsolete, the parts don’t exist anymore for a heating company to replace this part as Home Shield couldn’t even find a vendor to work on this unit and authorized me to use a third party who has worked in this condo complex since it was built and spoke to the authorization department once on site to diagnosis the hearing issue which requires running the heat off of the compressor because the old unit now doesn’t exist to update it with the same parts.

    We had three people and myself on a call with Trisha in authorization who was so rude and unprofessional and antagonistic towards all of us, everyone was shocked by her demeanor and complained about it. She denied the authorization claiming that no work would be allowed on a part of the compressor that is in working condition but what she failed to understand is that there is no fixing the current system that is obsolete and runs off of a water heater. In order to get heat into my place currently with temperatures at 50 degrees inside my home, means that a heating company has to route it through the condenser adding a part inside the confessor on the roof which means substituting hydronic working off of water with working off of refrigerant.

    I was told that Home shield would only pay for the part that is broken. But they can’t find anyone to give me heat because this part doesn’t exist on the open markets. Systems are being updated because the old is so obsolete and then I am told that my maximum payout is 2000.00 for water system failure when this job to get my heat costs 7,200.00 by heating companies estimates because the current system can’t be fixed as is. I’m expected to then come up with 5000.00 on my own for which I don’t have in order to get heat and apply the 2000 towards a repair that costs far more than 2000.00.

    I am left with no heat and the ability financially to get heat into my place because Home Shield can’t solve this problem. What is the point of paying for a home warranty when your heat stops working off of an old system due to normal wear and tear and that part that doesn’t work isn’t replaceable at all. I am in tears over this, feeling as though customers of Home Shield don’t matter to them as they cut as many corners as they can to not make things right!

    The heating claim went well. The problem is I also had plumbing issues. The shower in my main bathroom is not working. They put a new showerhead in there but I can't use it because the water is too hot. The only way it's not hot is I turn it off. No matter how low it is, it's still extremely hot. I'm kind of losing hope with American Home Shield. The first time somebody came out, it was some guy that had a stank attitude and didn't want to keep his mask on. This is my home, not his, and in my home, we wear mask when we're in mixed company. If you come in my house, you need to have a mask on and he didn't want to honor that. He left and said nothing was wrong but there were things that were wrong.

    I called and the next person came out and fixed all those things that were wrong. But they tried to bill me another $100 for the guy coming out and not doing anything. I'm paying monthly then I have to pay $100 for a service call but I'm not getting things taken care of that I need taken care of. Now, if I call again because the shower is not doing what I need it to do, will I be charged another $100? It seems like the bottom line is money rather than customer service which I guess that's how things are in the world.

    There was a leak from the bathtub, a leak in the kitchen and a leak from the sink. There was one pipe that was not fixed though. It leaked along with the others, but it was kind of home-fixed by my husband, so the plumber did not think that it was included in the job that he was given at that time. Since it was not leaking when he came around, he just left it alone. But he was really good.

    There's damage to the flooring, too. I'm not sure where we stand if Home Shield has that coverage also. I have to check my contract if Home Shield covers that. The first time that we used the service, we struggled. We did a cash settlement because the one that was quoted to us from our contractor was so high, so American Home Shield offered us a cash settlement and we had someone do it for less, which is equal to the amount of the cash settlement that they have given us. We have a little overage but it was doable. Overall, American Home Shield's response time was very good and the experts that they sent for that particular job did their job as well.

    We have a bottom oven with a microwave on top and the turntable in the microwave was not working. The guys that came out were helpful. At first, it was just the first gentleman that came out to diagnose the issue. When they came back, there were two gentlemen. I like to talk, so they were chit-chatting with me and they answered all my questions. They did excellent.

    Normally, I call when I do my claim. For me, it's easier because trying to do the automated one through the app or on the internet doesn't give you the best choices. Also, once something's scheduled with the contractor for repair (or whatever it may be), AHS should keep following up with them to make sure that they're doing it. I had an issue with something and it took a little longer than normal because it got lost in limbo for a bit. This could have been all because COVID was happening, but they could follow up once they give the authorization to do something to make sure that all parties involved know the status and what's going on with it.

    The work that I called about was split into different sections. One thing, the repair company was able to fix immediately. Another thing, they had to send out for repairs, while the other one, they don’t do that type of work. They were very honest and upfront of letting me know what they were and weren't capable of doing. Being that there's a part that couldn't be replaced, we had to find another model. AHS paid us for the worth of one of the appliances, and then we just had to go out and find it at one of their affiliates at Lowe's, which was a good experience. I was very pleased with American Home Shield.

    The technician sent out here was outstanding as well. We wanted him to look at the door handle. It was loosened and it wasn't closing the oven correctly. He took everything off and it was almost like he did a check on a car. Once he had it open, he did his checks, and then he explained to me what he was doing and why he was doing it to make sure that the error codes didn't pop up. He was very informative and he really checked everything to make sure everything was good. I appreciated that. I was pleased with him, his customer service and his professionalism.

    I woke up one morning and my thermostat would not go above 58. I would have to restart the system every single time. I would have to switch a little button off then turn it back on or I would press a little button on there a bunch of times so it rolled over and it would restart the system. Over the phone, the DCS guy said it sounded like it was an automatic off. Every time I restart the system, it would turn the air back on but it would eventually shut off every time. He came out and fixed it in 0 minutes. It was great.

    When I first called AHS, it took me to an automated voice message where you could state your problem and that was fine. But it got to the portion where you had to pay the $100 to get your house serviced, and I didn't feel comfortable putting my credit card over an automated service. So I did call back and I found a human being. They should also let new customers know ahead of time like in big bold letters that they don't cover foundational issues for houses. I'm bummed about them not covering the foundational aspects of the house. But working with them is very pleasant.

    When I called American Home Shield, they gave me the number of the contractor for the dryer. They responded. I told them that I am taking care of elderly people and I need the dryer ASAP. They said they were following protocols because they had to order the parts and wait for it. I understood that one. I was just frustrated because with almost a week, we could not use the dryer. Imagine how hard it is for us. When we put things in the dryer, once it's done, it's a little bit soft. Whereas if we dry it outside under the sun, it is a different kind. I was telling them that I am regulated by the Bureau of Health. If they come and see that I'm not using the dryer, I will be penalized. But they did their best.

    With things like this, I suggest that contractors respond ASAP because I already told them from the very beginning. Sometimes, when I call, the contractor will not call right away. I call them.

    I submitted the claim back on January 18th. Messina Plumbing was assigned to come over and get me taken care of. But I didn't hear from anyone, so I called American Home Shield and talked to several people. I talked to a supervisor on January 22nd and the supervisor assured me someone was going to call me immediately. Messina Plumbing called the same day that I talked to the supervisor. Messina Plumbing scheduled an appointment with me the following week, Wednesday, to get it done.

    I also heard from Elite Renovations. Elite Renovations was the same company that came and did the job first time back in March of 2020. They said they got the garbage disposal to work. It worked when they left. But months later, I didn't use it, and then it stopped working again. When I discovered it, I called it in. They didn't do it right. So this time, when I realized Elite Renovations was that company, I told them that Messina Plumbing was going to be showing up. Messina Plumbing came over and fixed the problems. They got me a new garbage disposal. The old one was defective.

    The tech from Messina was a very honest man. But I don't like the fact that Elite Renovations didn't do the job properly. They could have discovered what was wrong with it. I was close to canceling everything. The experience with the customer service reps were very horrible. American Home Shield's customer service is all overseas. Mostly, they were foreigners. The last person I talked to wanted to spite me. I called because the tech from Messina had to call me and say that he was not paid. But the rep said there was no claim in the system, which I know there was already a claim. She was very, very rude. I've had great experience with American Home Shield until this claim for this garbage disposal that I had to repeatedly call back in. It's like they only have two companies working for them in my area, which are Messina Plumbing and Elite Renovations.

    The faucet was not shutting off. I’ve tried to shut it off on the bottom, and I wasn't even able to turn that. So the water kept coming and dropping. I called American Home Shield and they scheduled the service. Sirius was fairly quick with their response. They came out and they had to replace the parts. Overall, the service was excellent. But the first couple of times when I had to call on American Home Shield for other stuff, the voice prompt was a bit annoying for me to get through. It's gotten better last couple of times, as per their response and dealing with Sirius.

    The first time I had to call American Home Shield, some other company came over and they didn’t diagnose the problem correctly. They said it had to be cleaned from the top. But when the Sirius guy came out, he was able to fix it without having to go to the roof. That’s why I preferred to go to Sirius and their turnaround was faster and more friendlier service.

    Sometimes when I call American Home Shield, they directly answer the call. But if I have to go through the prompts and they're experiencing high calls, the voice prompt can take a little bit of time. When the automated computer voice prompt asks what the problem is, it doesn't recognize what I'm saying, and it transfers to some other group, and it gets to be further delayed. But once the reps get ahold of me, they schedule it pretty quick. But the last couple of times I had to call on Sirius or American Home Shield, the experiences has been excellent. I've had to call on American Home Shield a few times and they were able to fix the problems. Overall, I'm grateful that they're there to help me out.

    When we did a request over the phone, it was easy and then American Home Shield had somebody contact us. It was the next morning when we got a call from the people that came out and did the job. During the crazy 24-inch snowstorm, it took two days for them to get out to see us. It would have been nice to try to have them come out sooner because our heater was off. It was 12 degrees, so things were a little chilly. We’ve got animals in the house too. Other than that, they did a good job getting out here during the middle of a snowstorm, at least. I'm sure there's a ton of calls going on city-wide with heater issues when that kind of a storm hits.

    The contractor came out when they said they would. They arrived on time, and the gentleman was very knowledgeable. Our unit’s located on the roof and he got right up there. He only spent 45 minutes, and he found the problem. He fixed it, and we’ve had no problems since. Everything was done very orderly and professionally.

    American Home Shield always fixes whatever breaks in my house. When our air conditioner wasn't working, two different companies came out because one did something and it still didn't work. So American Home Shield sent a different company and the technician actually fixed it. Now, my refrigerator is not working. The contractor was gonna fix it on Monday but I work 12-hour shifts and I work Sunday through Wednesday. So they are supposed to come on Thursday to fix it.

    Sears came out to repair my freezer portion in my lower portion of my refrigerator. It was totally frosted over and nothing would work. The fella who came was really great. We're on total lockdown here where I live at that time. So, I was in my bedroom the whole time. My daughter handled it because I'm older and she won't let me near anybody. She talked to the gentleman, but I was right here. It's right off my bedroom where my kitchen is and I could hear everything. He explained what he was doing. He cleaned the whole thing, scraped it and made the repair, and he was gone. He was really good. I've had no problems with this freezer since he was here.

    I've had American Home Shield for close to 10 years now and I have recommended it to other people. As a matter of fact, I recommended it to my daughter and son-in-law, and they now have American Home Shield. They do immediate response. Over the years, I've had either three or four calls that I've had to make for things that went wrong here, and they were right on it immediately, and they got out the repair people. Where I live is kind of far away from a metropolitan area, and they had to have one time a man from Vancouver, Washington come, and I'm in Oregon. Another time was a man from Portland, Oregon, which is 70 miles at least away. Vancouver is even more. I've had Sears come twice, but they were only 20 miles away. But everything was done so efficiently. I had someone else when I lived in Arizona and I will say American Home Shield is excellent.

    American Home Shield has always been there for me. I've heard other people had problems with claims but I've never had any issues. When I needed someone, AHS went beyond. They couldn't find anybody but they kept pressing to see if they could find someone because the service tech that they gave me never even got back to me. They found this contractor and I was very impressed because the tech came out on a Sunday. Most of them don't work on Sundays. My refrigerator was leaking water and it was running downstairs. It looked like it was coming from the icemaker. He fixed the problem and then, there was another valve he was uncomfortable with. So, he came back and changed that even after the ticket was closed. He went over and beyond what he should have done.

    AHS was referred to me by my uncle and I would also refer them to other people if they need a warranty company. My most recent experience was with Hotshot Appliance Service and they had the problem with the washer identified in 15, 20 minutes. They changed out a part that was bad. They were very kind and did a great job. However, it took two or three days before I had a lady call me to set up service. It would be nice if somebody could respond back online and do it online versus having to answer a phone call.

    The lady that enrolled me to American Home Shield didn’t inform me that every time they came out, I had to pay $100. She told me I only had to pay $100 every time they did a different thing. I had to pay a one-time fee for the heater and one-time fee for the air conditioner. But that was not happening. Every time I call American Home Shield, they take $100 out before the contractor ever get to my house. But that's not what I was told. So that was false advertising. My neighbor told me the exact same thing. She was the one who talked me into getting them, and when she found out, she let them go. So I'm thinking about the same thing. These people are not telling the truth when they enroll you and that's not fine. If you look at my account, you can see how many times I paid $100 on the same claim for my furnace.

    I called American Home Shield when I had a leak in the kitchen and the bathroom sink both at the same time. The two gentlemen that came out were fantastic. They did a phenomenal job. I thanked them very much. They went directly to the source, and I had to leave work to meet them here because my wife was here. By the time I got here, they were halfway finished.

    I had one guy come here that I was highly disappointed with, but I left it alone. What the guy was doing was unreal. He came to my house and told me what had to be done was gonna cost me about $700 to $800. I just had a second opinion come in here and the guy took the screwdriver and went to my panel where the breakers are, and all he did was stuck the screwdriver in and tightened up the breakers. I haven't had a problem since. I didn't spend the $700 like this other guy was saying, so I felt good with that.

    I'm very satisfied with American Home Shield. When I call, they directed me and they told me it'd be about 48 hours. They told me if I wanted, I could call the plumbing company. I called the plumbing company, and the person I spoke to was able to get them out here the very next day. American Home Shield has been great so far.

    There was a leak from the washing machine. American Home Shield sent the plumber out and he couldn't find the leak so that was a little concerning. The plumber suggested that maybe the leak was a fluke and maybe the washing machine was overloaded. What the plumber suggested was that we watch the equipment for a while and see if the leak comes back. My contract says that if something is wrong within 60 days, they come back and they don't charge me again.

    I have another issue that's still unresolved. I'm still waiting for approval from American Home Shield for a furnace that's pushing out through the air ducts. It's really gotten me a little upset. The people that they assigned it to came and diagnosed it as a cracked heat exchanger. They said that you can’t replace them. I googled it and confirmed. The company that's prepared to replace the furnace found the furnace. It was a special thing because of the size. They've got the furnace sitting by and American Home Shield who has not yet authorized it even though they said it was expedited. It's a serious issue. If the furnace continues to operate this way, it will either run or conk out then we'll have pipes freezing. Or worse than that, it will cause a problem throughout the entire house which will cost me a lot of money which will make me wanna sue somebody.

    There was also an oil burner issue on one of the houses. They couldn't get anyone to come out on Sunday last week to help and the furnace was dead. So, my son-in-law had to call and ask for the emergency service from a company in our town. They came out in 15 minutes and fortunately fixed it and only charged a couple hundred dollars. But that's a couple hundred dollars I didn't plan on spending. I have five policies and the fees are 600 bucks a month. That's a lot of money that I'm investing in American Home Shield. For that reason, I thought that they should have some kind of emergency service. The temperatures here were dropping into the 20s. Without having the furnace, having my daughter, my son-in-law and my four grandkids in the house with no heat was very upsetting.

    The people that I’ve dealt with from the actual company have tried their best to help me. Sometimes it's difficult to understand them because they're not speaking English very well. That’s especially when it's an odd time that I call them and sometimes, their communication breaks up. But as far as American Home Shield getting someone to respond to contact me, that all works fine. Their responsiveness to putting through a request for service to a vendor is good.

Then, a tech from APC Plumbing came out to fix the issue and he had it fixed within about 10 minutes which was pretty amazing. There was a clog that was too far into the pipes for me to be able to get on my own and he put sodium hydroxide on the drain which cleared everything out.

    I had two issues at the same time. The electrician was great. They were polite, respectful and professional. The switch wasn’t working and they changed it. They fixed the problem. With the plumbing issue, I'm angry and not satisfied at all. We've had this very high squeaking noise in the bathroom with the pipes. I called American Home Shield and specifically told them what the issue is. They said it's covered. Also the tubs are clogged up. Grade A plumbing came out and the plumber was terrible. He was rude and disrespectful. When I spoke to him on the phone, I did ask if he was going to be wearing a mask and he seemed annoyed by that. I believe in wearing masks because there's a virus and he seemed annoyed by that so I don't know from the get-go if it wasn't going well.

    When he came here, he said, “If I don't hear the noise, I can't do anything. If you were a private customer, I'd be able to do more.” Then he was calling his boss. He wanted me to stand there because he didn't know what to do. He was dismissing me as a woman by saying, “I've got this woman standing here.” That's sexist and completely inappropriate language. It's totally unacceptable. He told me to stand there and this is my house. He was so obnoxious. I asked if I could talk to the boss and explain the situation but he boss didn’t want to talk to me.

    There are two other people who live with me and they hear the noise too. He was making it like I am crazy and hearing this noise when I'm not. I told him to look at common causes of pipe issues and that it's coming from the main bathroom. It's probably the toilet. Also, he did absolutely nothing with the bathtub. I asked, “Are you going to fix the bathtub?” He said, “No. If you're going to call American Home Shield, they could send someone else out to do that.” American Home Shield has charged me but he did nothing. I don't want this guy in my house. I don't need to be treated like this.

    The tubs are not draining well and there's something wrong with the toilet. It's not happening as often as it was, but it still makes this high noise. I've called American Home Shield numerous times. Three different people insisted they would look into this and have the manager call me back but nobody called me back. It's ridiculous. I've had American Home Shield for years. They don't charge as much and they've also paid for some things before so I appreciate that. But the companies that they work with, typically, are bad. I would not recommend them to someone else and I'm looking into finding a different warranty company.

    Our water heater quit working. AHS initially said on the call that it would be a couple of days. When my wife said, “We don't have any hot water. Can we get someone sooner than that?” then they were able to escalate and then someone came out that day. So that was good. It ended up being a cracked flex hose above it, which had dribbled water and it shorted out the heating element. The tech fixed the hose, cleaned up the heating element and got it going again. Also, it may have shorted out a recycling pump and they replaced that too. However, that day, it didn't seem to be heating up as quickly anymore, so I called them again.

I let American Home Shield know about it. I got a text message fairly quickly to let me know who the contractor was and who I was going to be looking for. The tech understood what I needed. He understood what the problem was. He was knowledgeable. He knew what was going on right away. He had to order a part, and it came in pretty quickly. It came in like a couple of days. Then, he called me and said he had the part and when could he come, and he came out right away. Everything is functioning as it should.

    My dryer broke so I called the service and they called in a technician. He came in on schedule. He was nice and very knowledgeable. He checked the situation and said he needed a part and ordered it. Then he put a quick fix on the dryer and said that will last until the part comes in and it did. The part came in, he called me back and scheduled another date. He came back, put it in, and it was done.

    I've been with American Home Shield for almost 20 years and my only complaint would be that it's expensive now. It wasn't always as expensive and if I was a good saver, I wouldn't have it. $65 a month times 12 is a lot and then there's the $75 fee. It doesn't need to get any more expensive, or I may have to get rid of it. Also, the warranty can be a little more inclusive. As expensive as it is now, it should cover everything.

    We had a stoppage somewhere deep in the pipe in the basement, which was going on from the kitchen sink towards the main pipe in the basement. This was the first time I used the website to request a service online. Previously, I usually called for assistance, which took a bit longer, and somehow, the request handling itself took sometimes much longer. I filed the claim late in the evening, then, next day, I already got a call from Gaithersburg Plumbing. We agreed that in one or two days, they would be coming, and this was all very fast. The gentleman who came was very professional and knowledgeable, especially considering his age. He wore the mask and some special covers on his shoes.

    NW Sundance came to reset and recalibrate our oil furnace. The guy was super quick, efficient, and friendly. Then it stopped working again. He came out again yesterday. It was just that the follow-up appointment wasn't clear whether I was charged for that or not. But I could check my account to verify that. Then the only thing that is sometimes tricky is when submitting the claim, it's sort of very generalized. Like for me, it would just be oil furnace. But I didn't see, necessarily, a space to write what the issue was, and so I was not sure what information was conveyed with the technician before he came out. If it'd be possible to include more information when submitting the request, it might be easier for the technician to know ahead of time what he would be working on. But it was a good experience overall.

    Our hot water tank hasn't been heating and working up how we wanted it to. So we went to American Home Shield because we've used them for other things in the house. They sent somebody out and looked at it. It's not broken where we could get a new one, but he gave us some tips to flush out the system to hopefully get it working a little better. We did the flush a couple of times, like he suggested. It's still not holding the hot water as long as we'd like, but it's enough to kind of get through until we can save up some money and get a new hot water in there.

    Our furnace went out within the first year of buying our house. We had to have a whole furnace replaced and that experience made us continue on with American Home Shield. They are very reliable and quick. I like the website because you can see your home contract and then immediately schedule service, to see what's covered and what's not.

    EJ's Appliance came out twice 'cause I put in two claims for my dryer and dishwasher. They called me within 10 minutes of me submitting the claim and then they had someone out to my house just within two hours. In both cases that they came out, they had to have a part ordered, but they were both back out within 72 hours and were in the house less than an hour, and both of the appliances were working great. I was very impressed. Both times were amazing.

    The problem with the dryer was the fact that it wouldn't stop unless you open the door. It'd just keep going even when the power went out. On top of that, when the guy was done, he explained that wherever the lint goes through and then passes out of the house needs to get cleaned. He gave me some tips on that. He also gave me some tips on how to keep the dishwasher maintained and running good moving forward.

    I've had more wore out since I've had this contract. It wasn't expected. It was a security blanket for the HVAC and the heater because if they'd go out, I wouldn't have the funds to replace them right now. We've used AHS now five or six times the last year and the servicemen have been great. It's been really good this year and I plan on renewing just to keep the security blanket going.

    My oven nearly burned the house down on Christmas. So, we had a tech come look at that, so that we could make sure that the oven didn't need replaced, or what was going on. We also had him look at the dishwasher that hadn't been cleaning very properly, and the washer and dryer, which just kind of had some slow runtimes. He did a nice job of diagnosing everything. I was without an oven for less than 24 hours. We waited until the day after Christmas to file the claim to American Home Shield. My friend’s a real estate agent, and she said that they would send somebody out Christmas Day because they are so fast, and we didn’t wanna pull anyone away on the holiday. I put the request in at 9:00 AM on the 26th. The tech was here by 1:00, and he was here maybe an hour and a half. It was very reasonable for what I had him look at.

    When he came in, he said it just needed recalibrated. He read the manual, showed me where the manual was and showed that it wasn’t holding temperature at all, which explained why I kept yelling at my husband for cooking too slow. Nothing was cooking to temp. So, I felt bad. I had apologized to my husband for being rude about his cook times.

    AHS has done a great job. Power of Red did an amazing job. AHS looked at our AC earlier in the fall. The guy that came out and did it was fantastic. We will use the company he was from again in the future. The only comment I had was at the time, the contract was really unclear and I couldn't get the customer service rep for the AC repair to adequately explain why something wasn't covered under the contract. In the end, when I talked to the sales rep who sold us the plan, I told him that I don't mind paying for it. I just wanted to know why it wasn't covered.

    The rep kept referring to the wrong provision of the contract because he didn't know the reason why it was being denied. I just wanted to know the reason, so I could note it because it was a $400 out-of-pocket expenditure. I just wish the customer service rep was a little bit more knowledgeable about the contract terms. But as far as the second call with Power of Red, he was a really nice guy, and was delightful to have in the house. Especially after Christmas, it was nice to have him. Overall, we’re satisfied with it.

    I, like most, researched Home Warranty Companies before selecting American Home Shield. From information available I thought they were upstanding...Not so much...My A/C unit is an older one so I mostly wanted to get protection in the event in would fail. Since replacing this would cost upwards of $10.000.00 I made sure I got the plan that covers mechanical items in the home. When purchasing the contract I was told that the most I would have to pay would be $1,500.00 should it fail. After 8 months my garage door broke a spring and wouldn't open/close. I called and paid the $100.00 for the service call.

    After 1 week of not being able to get my vehicles out a service tech came out. He told me it would be $150.00. I didn't think I should have to pay since I paid the deductible from AHS. After getting o customer service rep on the phone they said that the spring wasn't covered... So I looked closer at my contract and it said (Section A 2.) "Coverage includes normal wear and tear" so yes this got me to review the remainder of the contract more closely and I found (in Section E. SYSTEMS PLAN that the max payout by AHS for A/C or Heating equipment failures is ONLY $1,500.00 MAX... Long and short my experience has shown that they are untruthful and really don't pay out what they say they will. DO NOT USE THEM!!! TELL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY!!! BEWARE!!!

    When you call American Home Shield, maybe the prompts could be a little better but they do answer. Sometimes it’s someone who doesn’t speak English very well, but they’re usually very polite and helpful. They try to help. So, getting the appointment has been easy. You get emails saying, “Your service person is on the way,” and all that is good. It's fine to submit a claim to American Home Shield. Sometimes I find the companies that come out are not up to par. The last plumbing company we had was good, but the one before that did the job and left a drip, and it caused damage to a ceiling we had just repaired. I had just paid someone to cover a popcorn ceiling and put drywall up. That was outside of Home Shield. The last company I had for plumbing finally sent someone out to clean things up, but then the ceiling fell out of the insurance. They said it was not part of the claim.

    Someone was at the house once, and it happened to be at the house that was being worked on. They said, “You need to get a plumbing company. This doesn’t happen.” But also my husband had to go back recently. There was still a drip from something that had been fixed and he had to tighten something. Sometimes maybe they're limited in what they can do.

    My concern about staying with American Home Shield is that an appliance will get so old, and it's almost not worth the repair. They did repair a refrigerator some years back, but that refrigerator is so old. The shelves are falling out of the door, and it's really something that should be replaced. But they seem to find a way to patch it together.

    They have improved in the wait time in getting the appointment and setting it up and communicating with your email about your appointment. In the past, when I first was with Home Shield, you would have to hang on the phone forever to even set up the appointment. The biggest to work on is the companies that are hired. I don't know if they can do better on that but I'm sure they have their cost to consider.

And the same day, he went and fixed the issues. Dude was super polite and super respectful for the space. He had a mask on the entire time. My wife and I have a two-year-old, so that was considerate of him to have that on for the whole time he was there. As soon as he went in, he did whatever he needed to do and fixed the issue.

    Everything that he did, he was open as far as explaining what it was that he was actually doing for us to get a visual. Nothing in the dark. The work, everything that he did was very transparent. So, it was comforting. He suggested that we continue to put some boiling water down to clear the drains. We've been doing that. Ever since we haven't found that issue rise up again.

    My recent claim to American Home Shield was to fix the fan. The ventilator from my furnace was broken. I submitted it online, so it was really easy. Somebody came out the same day, but because I contacted the customer service via chat and I asked urgency because we're so cold that day. After three or four hours, no one called me back from the company that was assigned. So, I called again via phone. They put me together with that company that was assigned, and they could attend me at the end of the day. They fixed it the same day. I was well supported by American Home Shield. It was a good experience.

    I was running the dishwasher one night then there was a loud noise and sparks were coming out of it. I had to go call it in to AHS and do the $75 service request. I waited on the phone for an hour 'cause I called late. When they opened it up, they did notice that part of the panel was burned inside. The guy had said that there were several things he needed to order but he was also gonna put down if I needed a replacement. He came in when the parts all came in and replaced them all. It was a long time to get everything in but I am satisfied. Once they were here, it went by fast. The techs were very nice and professional and the dishwasher works good as new now.

    My claim on heating went very well. The contractor had to get a part. It took about a week to get it and they came back. They were in and out of the house in 15 minutes and everything was fixed. But we had a nightmare the time before that because it was a twofold thing that needed to be done with the air conditioning unit downstairs. They kept saying that I had to pay $750 and that was because a section was not covered. They were going to cover the repair of the inside of the unit but not the external pipes. They never told me what the $750 was and I made ten different contacts between the company here and American Home Shield. I was emailing them, texting them and trying to find out what the $750 was for. Nobody would tell me. Finally, I found out and it cost my husband and my son $50 to replace those pieces. Then, the contractor came out and put the other part in. I was irritated badly but we resolved the situation.

    I've had good experiences with American Home Shield other than that one. I used them a couple of times on the AC unit because the house is getting older as well as for my oven. It got fixed and there was no problem. People should contact AHS if they're going to look for that kind of service but also compare it to other services.

    The contractor I had for my first claim was Home Service Contractors and they seemed to have charged too much money for what they did. They also broke some things while they were working and charged me to repair them. I was a little disgruntled with them. I ended up buying three air conditioning units from them. Several years later, I was having a problem so I pulled out the warranty. I told the contractor that the air conditioning units had a 10-year warranty. They said that wasn't any good as I should have gone online to register it. I asked why they didn't tell me that. They said they did. But I am certain that if somebody had told me that I needed to register, I would have done so.

    I said, “Look, if you can show me the document that I signed where you told me that I had to go online and register for the warranty, then I'll believe you.” In my world, if you have something important like that, you get a document signed that you told them. My dad had the same experience with them. He said Home Service Contractors installed his air conditioner and they didn't tell him he had to go online to get it under warranty. I'm hoping I never have to work with them again.

    That aside, my service with American Home Shield has been really good so far. I like the fact that I can go online when I want to and put my problem in. I don't have to try to find a provider of service. That's a huge bonus. I put a claim and Anderson was the contractor. They were good. They called us right away and they came out very quickly. They ordered a part and got it in as soon as they could. I was pleased with that. I put another claim in on Saturday but nobody from the HVAC place has called me yet. I need to call them.

Within minutes, you get assigned to a vendor. The only thing is, like anything, weekends can be a problem. It depends on how the person is working on bad weather. But other than that, my experience has been great. American Home Shield responded promptly and got someone out. The tech has been here before and I was pleased with everything. He went in the unit because he cleaned up some stuff. But I'm kind of having the same problem that's why I called back.

    The line that comes out of the wall to the refrigerator was leaking. The guy that came out was phenomenal and knew what he was doing. He didn’t have the part with him so he came back the next day, which was no problem. It was just that trying to call when submitting a claim was challenging. When I finally got through, I couldn't understand the agent on the other line. Their accents were so thick. It's hard to commit to anything over the phone when it's like that. The automated process to get through is very challenging too. Then personally, I don't like the idea of them putting the $75 on the card before the people even come out. I don’t think that’s right. That almost made me decide to go to somebody else. I'm a loyal customer and there's gotta be some loyalty on their part too.

    American Home Shield sucks. I placed my call on January 8th and the contractor, Avant, called me to tell me how busy they were and when they could come out. They came as planned and right on time. Then, they submitted their report to American Home Shield and it took a number of days before I heard anything from American Home Shield. I must've call them about four or five times and every time I'd call them, I'd get a different story.

    The first time I called, they told me that Avant recommended that the washing machine be replaced, but they couldn't tell me when it would be replaced. Then, I didn't hear anything from them. I called them again to find out what the status was and they told me that it was not going to be replaced. On the third time I called, I asked to speak with a manager because I needed to know what was going on as my clothes were piling up in the house. So, they told me to hold on. But I held on for the longest time yet no manager came online. Then, on three occasions, they told me a manager would call me within the hour or no later than the next day, but up to now, I've never gotten a call from a manager. I eventually called again and they told me that the machine is going to be replaced. But it was close to three weeks later that I got the final disposition.

    Since I was told that the machine was going to be replaced, dealing with the purchase department had been more pleasant because everything has worked the way they told me. The only thing is that I was supposed to call their rep today to find out exactly when the machine is going to be delivered because they told me that it would be no earlier than Friday, but I would get a call from the company that's going to come out to deliver, and I haven't heard anything yet.

    All in all, if AHS is sending the technician out and the issue is something the technician can take care of, the service works fine. But if the problem gets more complex, then they lack a lot. The other thing is that I went to a local appliance store and told them about the machine that AHS told me I'm going to be getting, and they said that it's pretty good. So from that point of view, at least AHS is not giving a substandard product, which is good. But American Home Shield must do better in terms of customer service on the phone. If I call and I'm not happy with the customer service, somebody from their leadership should be able to talk to me or call me so they can explain to me, especially when I'm dealing with people who apparently are in the Philippines and they're working off a script. No judgment, but that part of the service is poor.

    We had a claim with AHS for the cooktop that went horribly wrong and it still has not been resolved to this date. We called a number to get somebody on the phone and the phone was busy for two months. Nobody ever called us back and it was ridiculous. I know it’s the middle of a pandemic, but their customer service was lackluster.

    Two guys came in and one guy refused to put a mask on. I told the one who didn't have a mask on that he couldn't come into the house until he wears a mask. But he said that he didn't have to wear a mask. Then, the other guy told him to just put a mask on. So, he took the plastic bag that was the wrapping for the stovetop out of the bag and put it over his head. I told him that I didn't want him to suffocate in my property and I told him that I had a disposable mask that I could give to him. But he said that what he had was fine.

    Aside from that, we have all granite countertops in the kitchen and they dropped the big cardboard box on top of the granite. I asked them to take that off the countertop and at least put it on the floor. Then this guy said that the granite was okay. But I wanted them to respect my wishes. This is my property and I didn't want the big cardboard box on top of that granite, sliding it and moving it around. The other tech told the other guy who was being erratic to wait in the vehicle and he went out and waited. So, the other guy installed the appliance then he said it was ready to go. He also asked me to sign papers for the work and after I signed it, he left. It's for a black cooktop that was installed into a black granite countertop. But when my wife and I walked over to look at it, we saw that the thing is cracked on the edge.

    So, I tried to stop the techs from leaving but they drove off. I called one of them on his cell phone and he told me to take a picture and sent it to him. I asked what they were going to do about it and he told me to just send a picture because he was not responsible for it. He said that somebody else was responsible for it. So I sent the pictures and he texted that he sent it to somebody.

    Then he said that I needed to call this 888 number that he gave me. We called the number for two months and to this day, nobody followed up or asked us how it went so we could have told them. And we still have cooktops here right now. But we started using what they put in because that was back in August. We called the number they gave us every day and the guy said we got to try and call it first thing in the morning. He said we got to try and start calling at 7:59 and we kept calling but that didn’t work. I would get up 2 o’ clock in the morning just to see if someone would pick up and nobody picked up.

    Other than that, we had a recent claim with them for an electric repair and things went very well with that. The tech came to the door and had a mask on. Before he stepped inside my house, he put on some shoe coverings because we have wood floors. So, we appreciated that. Everything's been good and smooth with AHS. We just had something with our washing machine as well and the techs are repairing our dryer. I would still give AHS high scores despite that particular vendor with the cooktop and I recommend them to people.

Then he was out the very next morning with a better part. The unit has been working fine ever since, so I'm very impressed and pleased with them. This was by far the best interaction we've had with American Home Shield and their contractor.

    Our previous experiences were a little bumpy but the worst was on our furnace. It took two weeks to get anybody out here and it was constant calls with American Home Shield. The first contractor didn't show up. Then finally, the second one did show up but it was a couple of days later. So it has been a real hit-and-miss as far as service and timing.

    We asked DT Electric for a couple of things and a gentleman came out pretty quickly. He tested some outlets that we had in the kitchen because our home inspector had previously mentioned that they were not the GFCI outlets. The gentleman mentioned that switching those out would not be covered by the warranty so he didn't do that work. But he did switch a non-functioning switch for us on the stairway. He was great and very friendly. He walked me through what was going on and he let me know what was and wasn't going to be covered. Luckily, the issue didn't turn out to be something with the breakers, just with the switch itself. He explained to me what I could do to get a couple of lights fixed up in the house too since we had a very high ceiling. So it was a good experience.

    I've had two good experiences and two not so great ones with American Home Shield. DT Electric was a phenomenal one. Then the garage company that came out to do the garage was pretty good. Even with that, we had to pay some out of pocket returns for it and it was not really explained why it wasn't covered. But my biggest issue that I had was we had a pipe that burst. It was on a weekend and I called the number to ask if we could get someone to come out. I had to go out and shut off my water main. But the representative didn't seem too knowledgeable. I tried explaining to him what the situation was. But he just kept trying to lead me down different questions instead of listening to what the issue was.

    Finally, the representative said that he'd call someone and that they would reach out to me to schedule a time. I waited about an hour or two. I called the company and the company had a pre-recorded message saying that the home warranty representative should have called to schedule via an emergency line that they had. I had to call back again and explain the situation and I was put on hold and they tried to figure out what happened. All of this was wasted time. I mentioned before that it was a pipe on the exterior wall for my faucet for where the water hose was connected out front. But when the plumber came out after waiting all this time, he just looked at it and he said that it was not under warranty. He said that it was going to be $700 and he couldn't do it now. So that was really not a great experience.

    Versus other companies, AHS's contractor was more prompt. They called me right away rather than 12 hours later or me having to call them. Other companies say the contractor will call me within 24 hours and some of them take the full 24 hours. My drain was clogged and the plumber took an hour to figure out where to go and unclogged it. I showed him where all the drain outs were and his first couple of attempts were unsuccessful. He ended up having to get a 50-foot Roto-Rooter to go all the way through. It makes me nervous when I feel I have to give directions to experts but I'm glad he did the job. I had gone online before he arrived and his company had some pathetic reviews. But considering that it was just a clogged drain, they did a fine job.

    We had four different companies come out. It was two HVAC companies and then two electrical companies. Back in September, Interior Air came out because we didn't have AC. They had to order a part and it took forever. Then they changed the part and ever since they did that, our breaker would trip every so often. But we didn't really pay too much attention to what was going on.

    On December 15, we finally turned the heater on but we couldn’t put it above 70 degrees because the breaker would trip. It was every single time that we put it above the 70 degrees. So I had to file another claim and then Interior Air came out. They said that it was not an issue with the HVAC system or the furnace system. They said that it was an electrical issue. So an electrician company came out. They said it wasn't their issue, and that it was an HVAC issue. I was on the phone with American Home Shield for a very, very, very long time and they scheduled an appointment with them again. Both companies called me and said that they were going to be going out here for no reason.

    At that point, I called American Home Shield again, canceled those appointments, and said, “Please send me a second opinion because this is what both companies have said. They have both said, it's each other's fault.” So they assigned West End Mechanical and the gentleman that came out was amazing. He told us that there was electrical stuff where the wire was loose. But he said that the part that had been changed by the previous HVAC company was installed incorrectly. He mentioned that it was wired incorrectly. So he rewired that. But he thought that there was still some electrical stuff going on. So Seven Hills Electric came out, which was also amazing. Both West End Mechanical and Seven Hills Electric explained everything. They didn't point fingers at anybody else.

    We had a funny noise coming out of our furnace. Since we heat with natural gas, I called the natural gas people. They came out and they told me those were unfamiliar sounds, so I had to call a heating and air company. So, I called Home Shield and they told me that they would have somebody, a vendor, reach out to me. That was at three o'clock in the morning and they told me that if nobody contacted me by 7:00 or 8:00 the morning, I should call them back. So I did, because the vendor that they had originally set me up with never called. Home Shield then told me that they would reach out to that vendor one more time and when they didn't get a response either, they sent out this last heating and air company. And their tech came out on the same day and the man seemed to know what he was doing.

    When he arrived, the heat didn't make that sound anymore because Virginia Natural Gas told me to turn the heat off and not to turn it back on until the company came out. The tech said that the filter needed to be changed, so he changed the filter. Then, the foil wrapping around the furnace that seals the two pieces together was loose and he rewrapped that. He told me that if I heard the sound again, I should record then I should call him and he would come back to see. But he looked inside the furnace and said it was running smoothly as far as he could see.

    Other than that, I'm still having one issue with my refrigerator. I called in a ticket before Thanksgiving since my refrigerator was not cooling and the icemaker was not making ice. The techs came out they fixed the icemaker, but the refrigerator was still not cooling. So, I called back the company who came out to fix the icemaker and they came back out. They ordered a part and they put the part on the refrigerator. They said to give it a day or two to see if the refrigerator starts to cool with the new part.

    When it didn't cool down like it should, I call them back and this was on December the 8th. They came back out and said they had to order another part as the other one was defective. We've been going on since then about this with the refrigerator and it's still not cooling properly. I've called the contractor that came out and they said that they're going to look in to see if the part that came a particular day was our part, but I haven't gotten any feedback from the company.

    I've called Home Shield back and told them that my refrigerator is still not cooling. The company was going to order parts. And Home Shield, the last time I talked with them, they told me that the parts had been delivered and they reached out to the contractor and they didn't get an answer so they sent, I guess, a text or email and I hadn't heard anything from them yet. So I don't know what's going on with the contractor. But the refrigerator still is not fixed.

    Nocona: Is there anything that you think American Home Shield could do to improve the process overall? What would you like to see them do differently to make it an easier process?

    MONICA: Really, I guess it just depends on the contractor. Home Shield, they take the complaints. They get you paired up with a contractor and they text you the information who's coming out or who's supposed to be coming out and all. And now, let me tell you this. I had my washing machine to go out on me and they could not replace it because they didn't have one in stock equivalent to the one that I had. So then they sent me the check to purchase one on my own. I had to go out and purchase one on my own.

    That process was fine. I would say it just depends on the vendors that they use, the contractors that they use. Like I said, for the most part, I've had a smooth, I guess, fix to my appliances, but this particular one for the my refrigerator, and this company had come out to do my washing machine too. They fixed my washing machine too. And the freezer, like I said, the icemaker’s making ice but I don't know what broke down in the refrigerator process. I don't know why they have been responding back to me. And Home Shield, they're very nice when you call them. I can't see what else they could do to make the process any easier because it’s fairly all cut and dry. [Laughs]

    You call them. They take the complaint and then they set you up with contractors, whoever’s gonna come out to fix the problem. Right now, I can't say. I can't think of anything.

    Nocona: If you were going to rate your overall experience with American Home Shield from one to five, a five means you'd still recommend the program for other people and a one means you're very dissatisfied with how they've handled your claims, where do you think you’d put them?

    MONICA: I would give them a 5 because it's very convenient to me when something breaks down and you don't have to worry about well, who am I gonna call, looking in the phonebook or online as to who you can call to come out to fix the problem. The only thing is this particular problem with my refrigerator, the last time I call Home Shield, they said that if I didn't hear anything, to call them back, and they would move my request up the ladder, I guess, to the next level of service in the company, I guess. And I don't know if they will send somebody else out to fix the problem. I just hadn't had a chance to call them back myself because I've got other things going on [Laughs] and I'm trying to get things -- one fire put out before the other. But I would rate them as a 5 because it takes the worry out of trying to find somebody to come to fix your problem.

    Nocona: Is it okay if we do share your comments as a review for American Home Shield to help people that are considering getting coverage?

    MONICA: Sure. Sure. Yeah. Like I say, it takes the worry out of trying to find somebody to come to fix the problem. And you can dial a number and they can find somebody for you and send them out.

    Nocona: Right. It takes out some of the legwork.

    MONICA: Yes, yes. But since I'm talking to you -- I don't know if you know or not -- but if I can't get in touch with the people that are coming out now or did come out, will they send my request to another company to have them to come out? I don't know what the problem is. I don't know if the person is sick.

    Nocona: I think there is a time limit on it. But I think you should definitely call customer service back at American Home Shield and let them know that you haven't heard or been responded to, and that you're kind of concerned that maybe they've dropped the ball and you might need somebody else to come take care of the problem.

    MONICA: Yeah. Because with the pandemic going on, you don't know whether people are sick and can’t do what they promise to do. And then too,, if they're sick, you don't really want them coming in your house. [Laughs] You don't know. But yeah, but I would give them a 5 because it takes the worry out of finding somebody for your troubles.

However, I wanted him to check another heat pump and he said he couldn't because there would have to be a separate order. We've been part of HSA for many years and apparently things have changed. He was only allowed to look at one. The other two heat pumps should have been checked at the same time as they had been before previously if we had a problem. AHS should send out information to policyholders to what their rules are and if they've changed from what they were that I had before. I also didn't know that HSA was brought out by them.

    The tech for my request on my lock was very thorough and he took his time. He's the best. But, I was very disappointed with the tech for my electric stove and washer. Normally, what I do before calling to submit the claim is that I look at the catalog and see how to use the warranty. But, there wasn't one so I called to have it. I wanted that the electric stove tech to fix the light on the vent. He said that it would be too expensive for him to fix it and that he suggested for me to go to Home Depot, get the vent and have them service.

    So I went to Home Depot and the salesperson suggested that I talk to American Home Shield and see if that's what they want me to do. I told the salesperson that I came to check how much the replacement vent would cost. Home Depot's salespersons said that I would have to go online to get the brand that I wanted. All I wanted was for the tech to fix the light that wasn't going on. I don't know if AHS wants to replace the vent because the tech didn't want to do the job.

    Soap wasn't draining into my washer that has a little gadget on one side where I put Clorox on one side and the other side would have soap. Apparently, I was doing it wrong. So, I used one of those pods and threw it inside. The same tech pulled the pod out and said "Eek! It's so dirty.". I said "My god, what's wrong with him?", washed the pod, put it together, and put it back. I don't know what that technician put in his report. I've never had a technician tell me to get a replacement at Home Depot and have Home Depot put it in. I've always had technicians saying that they can get the replacement or that they will be back.

    The first vendor that AHS sent out wasn't able to fix the heating issue. So they sent the second opinion, and they were able to fix it within 10 minutes. It was good. AHS is pretty good at what they do.

    We have had American Home Shield for two and a half years. Their claims process is good. As soon as we submitted a claim that our refrigerator isn't working, they came out here and everything went well. We've got an Electrolux French door refrigerator and the repairman came to see it. Over the course of three years, we've had this repairman out five times, and this time, he pointed out to us that there are various signs that the refrigerator is falling apart. There's some sort of plastic part, on the inside of the refrigerator part, where they see five visible hairline cracks. I never noticed them, but he pointed them out to me and said, “These are cracks. You cannot maintain an environment like you need to with these cracks.”

    The repairman wheeled the refrigerator out and showed how the back sheet metal was separating from the insulation inside. He said once this sheet metal separates from inside and it's got rust running down the back, there's almost nothing he can do to make it so that it won't just happen again after he fixes it. He can make the refrigerator work again, but he's gonna have to return to do it again later on. He also showed me that there was this ice building up both in the refrigerator and in the freezer. The whole thing is beyond repair, so he said that he was going to submit the paperwork to AHS and let them know that the refrigerator is irreparable at this point.

    I called American Home Shield and they said they had so many calls in front of me that they said, “Do you want us to call you back?” I said, "Yes." I went ahead and let them put me on a list of people to call back, but they haven't called us back yet. Apart from that, AHS also fixed our air conditioner awhile back and that turned out to be a permanent fix. Ever since they fixed it, it hasn't broken down again, so we feel good about them.

    We tried to turn the furnace on but it kept on turning on and off over the course of several hours. So, the contractor came out and replaced something. It recently started again yesterday so I scheduled them to come out again. Generally, you can make phone calls and contact American Home Shield but over the past so many months, because of COVID-19, it's been more difficult. But you can submit a request online and that's usually okay. Also, once you're able to contact them, they're responsive.

    I submitted the claim for the microwave back in November and I just had it repaired two weeks ago. American Home Shield sent a technician out from General Electric the first time. He diagnosed the problems because supposedly, he ordered a part. He told me soon as a part came in, I was supposed to call back and reschedule so they could come back and install it.

    That part came in two weeks later and I could never get anybody to come back out. I'd make calls almost daily. It wasn't until about two weeks ago that I was able to get somebody to reschedule and come out. They ended up sending out somebody from Lowe's, not from GE. When the technician from Lowe's came out, the first thing he asked me was how did the guy come up with the solution. He asked me if he took the microwave out. I told him no. Bottom line is the part that was wrong wasn't even the part that he ordered. But the Lowe's technician was able to fix it and it's been working properly ever since.

    That was my first my interaction with AHS since I've been paying and I was completely disappointed. The other issue is customer service needs to be addressed some kind of way because I could never get beyond customer service of American Home Shield. I could never speak to anybody else. I could never escalate the problem. I got to a position where I've been on hold for 40 minutes and they said they'd call me back. They never called back. I don't know what was going on between them and GE, but I couldn't get that relationship to work either where somebody would come out. The overall experience was terrible.

    I have a daughter who just bought a house and it came with American Home Shield. I had one at a house 10 years ago so I thought to get it again. The goal is to be able to have coverage and not spend a fortune when repairs are needed. Greenway Home Services came out about a week ago to fix a furnace. I was unavailable the day they were gonna come so they ended up sending someone out on Saturday or Sunday. They said that it was a bad igniter and they replaced that. It worked for about two days so I've got a recall on them. They're coming out this afternoon between 3:00 and 8:00 to fix it again. The technician seemed to be fine. I wish that they had fixed it right the first time but I don't know the extent of how things work. By design, American Home Shield requires contractors to attempt to fix things multiple times before they say maybe it's a bigger problem that they need to replace something.

    We had the first plumber come out and he opened the door on the garbage disposal, opened the door for the cabinets there, and said that it was cracked. He turned in a report to American Home Shield. But whatever report he turned in, it said that something hard had been in the garbage disposal. The garbage disposal was old and I didn't put anything hard in it.

    When I went to appeal the decision, the American Home Shield rep sent me to their appeals group that was just another person. I was in customer service for a long time and I'd I know when you transfer me to a supervisor or to the person next to you. That person said that there was nothing that they could do. So I said that I wanted my thing returned because if they were telling me that I couldn't get my garbage disposal fixed, I would have to pay for somebody to come out and give me a second opinion. I went back and forth on this foolishness for two days. When the plumber from R.E. Willard came out, he actually opened the cabinet door, looked at the garbage disposal, and said that it was indeed cracked. I told him that I didn't crack it and the guy said that it was no problem and he would replace it. He did a very good job and it was great dealing with him.

    American Home Shield needs to improve its customer service line when a customer has a problem. Submitting a claim is pretty easy but getting to their customer service is ridiculous. You dial the number of customer service and it takes you to the Philippines. They send these people over there a script to read and they cannot do anything other than reading the script. If you ask them a question that makes them have to think or do anything other than that script, they can't do it. Then, they tell you that they'll transfer you to a supervisor who will call back within an hour.

    If I have a difficult problem, I normally ask if the customer service if they can get me to somebody in the United States. They'll tell me that they cannot do that. So you have to call the number back and maybe you'll go to the United States. I did that for four hours. I finally got to someone in the United States after two days because I went on their chat line online, and I said that I needed to talk to someone in the US and that person called me back.

    I've been with American Home Shield for a long time­. For the most part, the technicians come out, look at the issue and fix it. But some of their contractors are a little shady. They just come and look and they really don't want to do the job. But once I got somebody who really wanted to work, it was a great experience. This is the first time I've had a bad experience with American Home Shield. But with all I had to go through, I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.

    The motor on the washing machine wouldn't get into gear and spin. Technicians came out and assessed the problem. About 10 days later, they brought the part back and fixed the washing machine immediately. Making a service request to American Home Shield is fairly simple. You are asked the make and model of the equipment. If I provide that, the technicians usually have parts available when they come out. They should come out prepared with the most common parts. They already make you wait anywhere from three to seven days for the appointment and another week or two for the replacement of the part.

    The wait time with American Home Shield is approximately one hour. I have a dishwasher that's being rebated because it's old and the needed parts cannot be ordered. Last Friday, I waited online for an hour and a half. This Wednesday afternoon, I did that again. AHS needs to do something about this. I put the phone on speaker and I do my thing. But, after an hour and a half, life needs to go on. I cannot pull myself together until a week later and the same thing happens again.

    For my GE appliance, part of the wait time last year was for the parts to come in. But I had trouble getting the contractor to book a time with me. A different contractor came from the one who ordered the parts. He said that I don't have a GE extended warranty so he cannot perform service. There's some disconnect 'cause I have a warranty with AHS and I've never called contractors directly. All appointments go through AHS. Somebody dropped the ball and this needs to be looked into.

    Long Lane Home Services came out in the home a few times for different appliances and I have never had a problem with them. The process to submit a claim with AHS was also not hard but after the claim was submitted, I had a problem trying to get assistance with issues. So the problem was always on American Home Shield’s end, never on the technician’s end. They need to not have their services overseas. The language barrier is an issue and a supervisor should be available when requested.

    My most recent experience was the worst experience that I've ever had dealing with a company in my life. In October, I submitted a request to have my dishwasher serviced. Long Lane came then they advised that the dishwasher was repairable and that they would order the parts. Unfortunately, because of COVID, the parts were on backorder and I totally understood that. Every now and again, I would call on Long Lane and they'd say they were going to check to see if the parts were available. They would say it was out of their control and we just had to wait to get the part. And they would always be gracious enough to let me know what was going on.

    Around December, I called and asked how long was I supposed to wait for these parts to come in. It was not a Long Lane issue, so I tried to find out what my other options were from American Home Shield. From December up until last week, I was getting different answers every time I called. They said there was nothing they could do and that I just had to wait for the parts to come in. They also said they would escalate the issue to another department and that somebody was going to call me back. But no one would ever call back. I would ask to speak to a supervisor and they would say that a supervisor wasn't available because the rep I was talking to was working from home and couldn't transfer calls. But I was told an email would be sent and the supervisor was going to call me back the next day. But if the supervisor ever called me back, I would be a millionaire.

    I would give it a couple of days, then I would call back. In December, I spoke with someone from AHS who told me that that was what they were going to do. The rep said that they were sending an email to Long Lane asking them to submit documents to tell them that the parts were still on backorder. Then once AHS gets that, they were going to escalate my claim. Then, three weeks ago, someone from AHS told me that I needed to call Long Lane myself and tell them that at this point, since it was taking too long for the parts to come in, I was requesting a cash out. But I told them that I felt like that was something that they should do. So, they said they'd call for me and that somebody was going to call me back. But I never got a call back.

    About two weeks ago, I ended up calling Long Lane myself and told them what AHS was telling me. They said they were going to call to see if the parts were still on backorder and if they were, then they'd submit the information to American Home Shield for me. And they did that with no problem. Then last week, I talked to a supervisor but only because I could hear that the person was in a call center. I could hear the people in the background and I was not hanging up until he got a supervisor on the phone.

    But I ended up submitting a report to the Better Business Bureau. It was ridiculous and that should not be how businesses were conducted. I just needed my dishwasher repaired or replaced. Once I sent that to the Better Business Bureau, all of a sudden, the ball was rolling. AHS was calling me back and they sent me information. So the Better Business Bureau sent that request, but I still ended up calling American Home Shield. And again, this was when I could tell that the guy was in the call center. He was said that the supervisor couldn't use his phone because of COVID and I totally understood that. But he said that the supervisor was going to call me immediately and the man did end up calling me at the time.

    But before I got the supervisor, I was on the phone for 20 minutes with this person because I wasn’t letting up. He was telling me that they were waiting to still hear from a department to determine if they were going to do the cash out. But when I got on the phone with the supervisor, he said that American Home Shield was going to see if they could find the parts themselves. But I was with the other guy for 20 minutes before talking to the supervisor and he never once mentioned that to me. They were telling me different things and I've lost all faith in the company.

    Then, the supervisor told me that he didn't know how long it was going to take for them to locate the parts. So, I'd have to wait again. He said that as soon as they hear something, they'd let me know and that he was going to give me a $75 credit for all of the trouble. If I’ve seen the credit, again, I'd be a millionaire. I haven't even gotten it and I’m not even going to look into the credit. The supervisor also told me that if the parts came, he would let me know the next day. But the next day was when I got an email saying that they were just going to replace the dishwasher. This has been going on since October and it is now February 4th. The dishwasher is supposed to come tomorrow, so we'll see.

    I placed a service call via the online service that American Home Shield offers. I was given a contractor and they made an appointment four days later to come out to the home which they did. They stated that we needed to get a new generator. They said American Home Shield would pay for the generator but we would have to pay for the freon. They quoted $980 and we would have to pay them in cash. I kind of got really worried about that price because it didn't make sense to me. I called American Home Shield back and asked if I could do a second opinion. I also asked them if I did a buyout, how much would that be. I had several conversations but no one gave me an answer. They kept saying that this hasn't been approved yet but the company called me back and said it has been approved.

    I asked if I could talk to a manager and was told no. Another friend had given me another company to call and have them come out and look. I did on my own and they said they are contracted with American Home Shield also and for me to call them to tell them that I wanted to do a second opinion. I did again and they finally approved. I told them I had a company name. The young man came and he did say we needed a generator and that American Home Shield will be responsible for that. He quoted the freon for only $400. He also explained to us why we would need freon. He said, “You don't want any particles getting into the new equipment that we put on the system.” He made us understand. He was patient with us, giving us clear understanding of how the system works. I enjoyed these guys because they came in and did the job.

    I did not have a problem because they said they take credit cards. I don't even go to the bank anymore. Everything I do is electronic. It made no sense for that other company to tell me that they had to have it in cash. I've hired American Home Shield to be my home warranty company and I feel that as my home warranty company, they need to work on my behalf. They should be giving us an option and reliable sources to come but they just pick anybody to come to our home.

    I had a pipe unclogged through American Home Shield. Someone was out the next day, did the job for about an hour and he was gone. There was another pipe I had clogged up, but another company had to come on and clear that one. It was the same thing. They did it in about an hour, knocked it out and they were gone.

    Spa Doc recently came and the tech's always been very responsive, professional and reasonable. He does a quality job too. Overall, it's been a good experience with AHS. It's been very seamless online. I just go into my account and put what I need, and then they respond before the day is up. I just had some issues with the air conditioning service. The people sent out were misrepresenting work that had to be done that I had to pay out of pocket. It wasn't a good experience with them. I expressed my concern to American Home Shield about that. Other services were good like the plumbing and the pool and then I have the annual maintenance. I like that.

    The dryer wouldn't work and it stopped spinning. So, I called up AHS and the techs came out the next day. They did a great job. They replaced the parts that were bad and the dryer is working wonderfully now. It was a great company. Submitting claims with AHS was also easier because they have my credit number on there, and they paid the guy. I didn't have to do anything except watch him do his job. All in all, the warranty is a great product. I've had it for all these years and I've never had a problem. They've always come out and fixed the issue.

    My recent claim with AHS was for a furnace issue that I had. It had to be turned off because there was a pipe issue where it was installed incorrectly. They had somebody out within the next couple of days. After that, it took about a week turnaround point. The company had to submit a claim and then once they submitted a claim to American Home Shield, they had to review it, then they sent it back to the HVAC company.

    I ended up having to pay the HVAC company directly because it wasn't covered. All in all, we were without heat for three and a half weeks. But part of that was because the piece that needed to be ordered was from the manufacturer. It wasn't all American Home Shield. But I don't like the turnaround time between them receiving a claim from the HVAC company to them reviewing it and sending it back. Whatever I needed to be fixed was not fixed during that point, versus just going directly to the HVAC company.

    American Home Shield has been rotten to the core. I didn't have heat in one of my houses, so I put in a service call this past Friday for emergency service because there are elderly people in the house. I spoke with someone at American Home Shield who said, "Okay, we'll have someone come out on Saturday." Apparently, the people who American Home Shield contracted out didn't put in the comment that it was an emergency. They just put it in there it was "Expedited." I spent a couple of hours on Saturday with the contractor from AHS on one phone, and then on another phone, the company told them that they had to put in the comment that it was an emergency. If it wasn't put in there, they wouldn't come out.

    I put that same work order in and then finally, someone got to the house to find out what the problem was, and they couldn't get any part for 7 to 14 days. I can't do that. If it were me, I can deal with it, but it's the elderly people in the house that got no heat. The lady told me, "Well, the best that I can do for you is go out and buy a space heater up to $100 and we'll reimburse you." what's a space heater gonna do heating the house? That ain’t gonna do any good. You tell the elderly people to use a space heater, end up burning the house down or causing other things to go wrong, then I'm gonna be liable for that.

    I don't need that kind of attitude from American Home Shield. I got several contracts on four houses and at this point, I gotta do something else because I'm not getting the service that I need. If anybody asks me, I would not recommend them. The service sucks. Most of their reps weren't even helpful. They were just trying to get me off the phone. It shouldn't be an excuse that they can't find some company that can get this part before 14 days. They didn't even try and call anyone else to seek another company or whatever the case may be.

    What I liked from my recent claim to American Home Shield was the coordination part of it. Since I have a cell phone, they sent me a text message and told me what date someone was coming. I like that. They kept me informed. The tech from Realty Rekey said, “We're 10 minutes away.” They gave me a good time window. They showed up with the time that they said. When you have to take time off from work and they say, “We'll be there from 8:00 to 4:00,” you're stuck waiting all day for them. The tech showed up on time. He was so professional, super quick, explained everything and what he was doing. It was a perfect service.

    I did that claim over the phone. I'm a little bit older, so it's easier to talk to someone than it is trying to get through the technology. The only thing with American Home Shield is I had a couple of issues, and I had to call each time separately. Other than that, I like American Home Shield. You could tell they vetted the people. So, they're the ones I called up. They sent Ricky and it was an excellent company that they referred. Whatever they're doing to make sure they vet the companies and the people they're selecting, they should make sure to keep up those standards.

    When we bought our house, our Realtor worked in a deal where we were able to have American Home Shield that first year. We enjoyed it so much that time that we continued the warranty for 11 years. We are in the process of buying another house and we asked our Realtor again to work into the deal where we could have American Home Shield and continue it on our new house.

    It's been really nice that anytime we have an issue that arises, American Home Shield communicates clearly who would be coming out. The people that we set appointments with seem to be coming promptly. Most of the time, they fix the issue within the first visit. If they aren't able to, they very kindly come back to do a follow-up visit and fix whatever the problem is. It's just comforting to know that American Home Shield has your back.

    We used the warranty when our sink wouldn't drain. I tried turning on the garbage disposal and it shot from the other side of the sink up to the ceiling. A service guy came out. It took a couple of days longer than normal to get someone here but it wasn't that big of a deal for us. The guy fixed the problem and within 24 to 48 hours, we noticed there was a leak underneath the sink. Water was coming out of the pipe. The guy had taken apart the pipe to get it working. The same guy came out the following day and fixed that up. He's said, "Just let us know if I still didn't get it." Everyone was always nice. I'm just grateful for the help.

    There was a leak in the back bowl of the toilet. We had someone come out last year for it but because my daughter is in Afghanistan, I don't go to the house every month. I also could not get the other company to come back out because it looked like they didn't do anything. When we got back to the house, because there was such a tiny leak, it had gone through the baseboards and we had mildew in the back. I called American Home Shield first, then I made the claim online and paid a $75 co-pay. American Home Shield then reached out to me with the company name to reach out to to schedule an appointment.

    The process was easy though we had an issue in trying to schedule the appointment because of my schedule. I don't live up there and I have to drive four hours up there. But the contractor, Matt Plumbing, was really understanding and they accommodated me. They didn't do warranties on the weekend but the young lady I talked to spoke to a supervisor and they agreed to come out on the weekend. And they did it early so we could enjoy ourselves. When the tech came out, he was awesome. He explained everything to us and he told me he changed several parts in the toilet to stop the leak because some of the parts were worn out anyway. All in all, I would tell my friends that I'd recommend AHS. I also plan to use their service in an investment property up in Davenport. I will be moving up there as well and I don't know if AHS covers that area but I would be looking them up.

    It's easy to submit a claim to American Home Shield and the contractors who have come to our home were very professional and nice. When the power outlets in half of my home were not working, technicians came and they looked into the issue. They figured out what it was and fixed it. The only thing about this claim was when I called to make an appointment, the contractor was telling me it would be almost a week until they could get someone there. I called American Home Shield back and they got that resolved. They got someone there in two days. It was a weekend when the claim was submitted so the technicians were there on Monday.

    We moved in in November of last year and shortly after that, my daughter did some research and came up with Home Shield. Submitting service requests is simple. One time, they had Chris come out to repair my toilet. The inside flapper wasn't going all the way down and he showed me where the water was leaking out some when it came down. He replaced that as well as another item in the tank. He was very good, courteous, and polite. Everything is very satisfactory.

    One of the motors was not circulating the water like it should and then, it started whining loudly. Right after I submitted the claim online to American Home Shield, I got an email within 10 minutes saying that the claim was assigned and that the vendor would be in touch within 24 hours. Splash Pools and Spas called and tell me what the issue was, what they found out and that they would try it again. We have dogs at the house so they rang the doorbell and made sure that they could get back there with no issues with the dogs being out. The job has been completed and I am extremely satisfied. The repair helped quite a bit because we were able to get the issue resolved quickly. It took longer for me to try to figure out what was wrong with it and what parts I needed to get.

    The people who came out for the furnace were on time. It took a couple days. It was a holiday weekend, but it was fine. At the end of the day, they came out and did what they had to do. It was pretty quick and simple. I've been using American Home Shield for a while, and I’m using it in one of my other properties as well. So, I went back to using them. It should be a little cheaper though. Submitting a claim was easy, and their first option is to fix the issue, which is good. When they can’t fix it, the process to determine if they're gonna replace it with a new one could be time-consuming. I got an oven replaced, but it took them forever. Other than that, it’s been okay.
