    My air conditioner wasn't not cooling and the outside unit would not come on. I called American Home Shield and customer service was very good. A service was set up for an afternoon, which I wasn't happy about. But the contractor had a cancellation that morning so I was able to get my air conditioner fixed at that time. The tech did some diagnostics and found out that the problem was the thermostat. He replaced that and now the air conditioner works beautifully. The repair made things tolerable because it was very hot. Without the AC, it was hard to sleep and to do much of anything.

    For the most part, I've been satisfied with American Home Shield. But it's my understanding that their service is supposed to be seven days a week, regardless of the day of the week or holiday. When there was an issue that happened on the 4th of July, they told me that no one would be out for two days because of the holiday. That was not acceptable. I'm paying for a service that’s supposed to be there 24/7.

    Got this warranty on a new home purchased. Within the first two weeks of owning the house my A/C broke. I had not received any information for the home warranty and the house is in Texas where it was 95+ when it broke. I paid to have the A/C repaired and called the warranty company when I got their information. Was told that they refused to reimburse me the repair and that I should have called them first despite not having their information.

    Spend more than 30 minutes on the phone trying to explain to someone in India who didn't speak English my problem and then, once she understood my problem, had a supervisor "explain" to me how the process works (i.e. I should have called before the repair even though I let him know that I didn't have the information. This guy said "Let me explain to you" about 15 times like I'm stupid and every question I asked of him, instead of answering it, said "I understand..." which just proves he didn't understand but he was fast to ignore what I was saying just to spit that out afterwards. Please avoid this horrible, poorly rated, money grubbing, low life company.

    AHS is very responsive. They do everything they can to fix the equipment before they consider replacing it but other than that, they're great. The claim process is automated and it's very simple. The one problem I had was I needed to try to relay additional information. I had an issue with the sump pump and the plumber needed to know that the issue was with the electrical part of the sump pump. I was able to relay that, originally, on their paperwork. Then, the plumber from A&B Plumbing and Home Services came out texted me and I told him that it was an electrical issue. He still came out and resolved it. It was still a plumber-resolvable issue, but the automated process didn't allow me to include additional information.

    We have an old clay roof and we bought the homeowners insurance in case we had a leak within the first year of us living at this home. And sure enough, our roof started leaking after one of our first storms. But AHS wouldn't cover anything because they said it was pre-existing damage, which makes no sense. We also have horrible septic issues and we've put in three claims through AHS. We paid $75 every time to have the techs come out to the home to inspect and they gave us nothing for our roof or for our septic. They were just rude and it's been absolutely a nightmare dealing with the customer service. Every time I call, everybody gives me different information. I'm a very easy-go-lucky guy but I am beyond dissatisfied with this company.

    All three of my lights out in the front of my house had gone out. I called and opened a case with AHS. The rep I spoke with was good. It took two days for the techs to come out. They were knowledgeable. They were not very talkative, but they knew what they were doing. It turned out that, surprisingly enough, all three lights had blown at the same time, which is not something I would have expected because there was no breaker tripped and there were two bulbs in each light. So, the fact that six bulbs went out at one time seems very unlikely to me, and I work in electronics and I've spent years working on electricity, and I just never went and checked them because I don't change bulbs that often. He was saying it could have been lightning. It's been working fine since then. Haven't had a problem with it.

    I also had a problem with my air conditioner but it took AHS about a week to get somebody out. That was a little excessive for me. But the tech came out and did the work and fixed all the problems that I had. The guy was really nice, very intelligent and worked with me. I was talking to him about something that I want to do later down the road to be able to make it simpler for me to blow out my ducts to make sure if anything clogs up, it would be easy to fix. He said, "I can take care of that." It wasn't really any cost to anybody and he was very supportive and knowledgeable.

    I've had two service calls with American Home Shield since I've had them, and the first one, with the appliance repair, went great. The guy came out, did what he was supposed to do, fixed the appliance that needed to be fixed, and everything went out fine. That turned out fantastically. The second one was the most recent. I had clogged up drain pipes with my air conditioner and technically, American Home Shield sent their guy out. This was a situation where the gotchas came into play though. The repair company said the compressor had gone out and they'd fix it, but I was gonna have to come out of pocket. It was an exorbitant amount of money because my system was older and it used the old refrigerant that they don't make anymore.

    American Home Shield mentioned something to me about a cash-out option, where they would take the money that they would have spent on the new compressor and everything else to repair it and they would give it to me as a cash-out option for installing a new system. I live in Georgia and we got a freak heatwave. Long story short, I had a new system installed last week without any help from American Home Shield. I'm still waiting to hear back from their cash-out department to find out what that's about, and it's been over a week now. This last experience wasn't that great. With all these home warranty companies, I've used two so far, and they send the crappiest contractors out.

    If people do the appliance plan, that's great. They get good value for that because they're getting the appliances fixed. Anything else that's more complicated though, it's always been easier, better and probably even cheaper for people to hire their own contractor. That's in my experience, having dealt with not just American Home Shield, but home warranties where they have to send a tradesman out to do something that they can't do. Usually, the people that work with home warranty companies, contractor-wise, are gonna find ways to stick it to the consumer because they know that they're in a bind.

    The contractors don't make a lot of money doing home warranty calls and they're going to try to find ways to get the consumer denied. The home warranty is not going to cover it, but the consumer is sitting here with a broken air conditioner, clogged up pipes or whatever. What is the consumer going to do when they've got somebody sitting there saying they'll fix it for them, but it's going to cost X amount of dollars and they're in that state of mind where they think, “I don't care. I just need my toilet to flush.”? They pay three times for them to clear the drains than they should've paid because the contractors are shady.

    There was no air coming out of the vent and my home was not cooling. A guy from All Coast came out and said the unit needed a capacitor. He put in that piece and the unit ran for a week. When it was running, it constantly ran and it never got to a consistent temperature in the house. Then, it went back out. All Coast came back out at no cost because it had not been 30 days since I originally made the claim. The second guy said that it was the computer board and he did not have that piece. He said that's what was running errors to my air and that's why my air was turning on and off. He had to order that piece and he will be back out to put that piece in. He didn't say how long it would take to order the piece, though, and when he will be back out.

    American Home Shield's website was very simple and easy to use. It only took a couple of clicks for me to make a request. Spiders had been making webs in my doorways and that was a big concern. I was then called to see exactly what it was that I wanted to spray for and to make an actual date to come out. The tech who came told me that it wasn't a good idea to spray for the spiders themselves but to spray for the bugs that the spiders like. He did that and he also cleared all the spider webs in my three doorways as well as the rafters around it. He also did maintenance right inside of my home. He was polite and well informed. He did a wonderful job. I told three people about American Home Shield and two of them signed up for their service.

    It's always been really easy when I submit a claim with AHS. We've had them for years. Whether you call them or go online, they get right back to you. Then they’ll line up whoever is gonna do what service for you. Then it's the people that they line up to do the service for you who wind up calling you. Sometimes they'll call you that day and when they’re gonna be there. We've also never had any problem. Whatever we’ve called them about, they've always taken care of it. Then what winds up happening is, when you turn in the deal, then they gotta evaluate whether it's covered under their policy or not. We’ve never had any trouble there. We’d call and tell them what the problem is and, within the day, somebody calls us and says, “We'll be out there tomorrow and fix it.” Recently, we had two thermostats that weren't working. The techs came out and changed them the next day and did a great job. They were fast.

    I love the service. We have a policy on our house in Florida and a policy on our house in Ohio. We've had a couple of things go bad, and they fixed them right up. I call them and the contractors are here. They even had to replace our complete air conditioner and furnace here in Florida with no questions asked. But with one claim, American Home Shield is kind of balking on a little bit. It was an emergency. We had no water 'cause we're on well. When I bought the policy, I told them I wanted coverage from the well pump in the well to the faucet. They said everything was covered. Then they sent me a text and said they don't cover switches on pressure tanks. I called them back and talked to somebody in the escalation department. They said that's covered so I called the technician back and said to do it. But he sent me an invoice for 574 bucks and told me American Home Shield won't pay for it. They approved it, but after that, they said they don't cover it and kept my $75.

    It all started with a phone call to set up the appointment, and it went downhill from there. I hate the call center 'cause they're in Philippines and you can't understand anything they say. The girl wanted to argue with everything I said. I was in customer service for many years and if I had talked to a customer like that, I would have been out of the job. She would put me on hold for a couple of minutes then come back and say, "You don't understand." She kept saying, "You can't get fixed till 48 hours. No problem." I said, "I can't be without water for 48 hours, ma'am." They're reading off a script. I asked to speak to a supervisor but she said they have no supervisor. I asked her if I could speak to someone in United States and she said there was no one in the United States. I told her I needed to talk to somebody who knows something because she was not answering my questions but she hung up. It was almost an hour getting through all that and I had to call back.

    We were in Ohio and the lady that I talked to in the Philippines gave me a contractor that was in Dayton, which is over three and a half hours from where we live. I told her they're never going to come here and got real stern and said there is only one in Ohio. The escalation department in the United States called me back and the girl was fantastic. She had it all figured out. She said it was not 48 hours, it was less than 4. While I was talking to her, the contractor was calling me to set the appointment up. They were there in an hour and had it fixed in an hour and a half. Once I got ahold of somebody in United States, it was taken care of.

    At first, I had an issue finding where I could file the claim. I recently opened my contract and the previous property owner who also had American Home Shield was still in there. I had to remove that previous contract and then bring in my new one. Once I did that, I was able to file the claim online. With my plumbing issue, the technician took about an hour to address it. The service worked out great and the problem was solved. For those who are getting warranty service, consider or reconsider some of the additional options.

    In my last house, I had a lot of issues. Sometimes I had to involve making three or four phone calls in the beginning, but after a while, American Home Shield would fix everything. The big thing was they'd have to cut a hole in the wall to get to the plumbing to fix the leaks, and the issue was fixing the hole in the wall. The one time, they fixed it. The other time, there were bigger holes, and they didn't fix them. The first time, I said, "I thought you fixed everything?" They said, "Well, they don't take care of fixing the holes in the wall." That was minor. I had to have the furnace, the air conditioner and other things replaced.

    When I sold that house, I got this house and I got American Home Shield again because they were good about fixing things and doing things. Now, for the air conditioner and the furnace, I had to put out some money, but for the most part, everything was covered on the other stuff. I'm a widow and I don't have anyone in the house to fix anything. The great thing about American Home Shield's service is that if something doesn't work, one copay, and they come in and fix it until it's done. They always say I can do request for service online, but it's easier for me to call and tell them what's wrong.

Overall, the monthly fee and the fee that I pay when a technician comes out are more.

    In American Home Shield's warranty program, it specifically says it covers if something wasn't installed properly. It turned out my AC unit wasn't installed properly. Therefore, they couldn't clean the coils, and they wouldn't cover the cost. I had to replace the whole unit which cost me $7,000. Needless to say, I'm not really happy with them. When I replaced the AC unit, it was mounted on the ceiling, and the ceiling was wet. Dimitresse Construction was sent to verify if there was a leak. But it didn't turn out like that. They did everything they could do. However, I won't be recommending American Home Shield moving forward for anything.

But this did not go into effect for a couple of months because the title company didn't send the check to AHS. It was just a big nightmare. I ended up talking to the president of the company to get it settled. Now, we have the policy. The latest thing to break was the washing machine. The guy came out and said he would order parts. But then, I got an email that said parts aren't available for it. So, they'll be replacing the washer. Then, I talked to customer service today about that whole process.

    The very first time AHS scheduled somebody for me or said somebody was coming out, no one showed that day. So, I never got a call from a worker that said, “I'm coming tomorrow," which they did the second and third time. But the Aurora Appliance guys who came out for the microwave and the stove were very nice and did their jobs. They ordered parts and then installed them, and that was great. I just didn't know that there was another fee for them to come back again and install. So, I got charged 100 for the service call, then $75 for them to come back and install the parts. That was a little surprising to me.

    I had a faucet leak and Prime Plumbing Services was good. I had to take a part of the shower so that they could get back in there and see where the leak was, which sucks. But other than that, they were super friendly, nice and helpful. I don't have any complaints except for their limitations, which doesn't seem like something they can do anything about. American Home Shield is a safety net so that I don't have to worry if something bad happens. It would be nice if it was all-in-one when it comes to the case of the shower. I didn't have to either do it myself or find another contractor to come in and remove the shield and the paneling. They could make it easier. I've already told my brother and my parents about AHS. It’s a good deal. I like that they protect the pool on a lot of the stuff and random things. If all the appliances in my house were new, I probably wouldn't have it. But it's good for older houses.

    The outside fan of my AC wasn't running but I could hear it humming. So, the air conditioner wasn't cooling the house. The tech had it fixed in 15 minutes. We've used AHS twice and both times we had no issues. It's easy to open a work order. We've even opened one and then figured out our problem and canceled it. So, the website is really user-friendly.

    We had loose outlets and a light switch outlet in the bathroom that had gone bad. I notified American Home Shield of these issues by phone. Like every business, all the prompts are quite annoying. I'm old school. I don't like prompts. I don't like the computers. So, I find it difficult to follow the prompts. But once I get a live representative, we're fine. I don't like sourcing out to other countries, and Home Shield does that like so many other companies. So, a lot of times, it's difficult to understand these people because most of them are foreigners and they have accents.

    As far as people coming out to my property, I find out who's available in the area, and then I google them. Certified Electrical Technologies was awesome, which is why I picked them. I don't like the way that AHS doesn't keep vendors. They switch all the time. You call one time, and you get a good company out. Then you call back again for maybe that same type of issue, and that company is no longer with them. It makes you wonder why. Do they just not like dealing with Home Shield? Overall, my experience has been okay. I haven't had any real issues with them.

The vendor called us right away. I was very happy about that. However, we had to call again because the same thing is happening. The contractor told us we could call them, but nobody answers the number that American Home Shield gave us for the contractor. We couldn't leave a message 'cause the mailbox hadn't been set up. AHS said that the vendor would be calling us, but we didn't receive it. She also said there's no charge because it's within the 30 days. The techs were very young, polite and in a big hurry.

    I had two ceiling fans that weren't working properly. The contractor, Osbon Electric, called on a Thursday and he couldn't see me until Tuesday. The issues ended up being the light switch on one of them and the wiring on the other one. Osbon is a good company but they aren't one of the electric companies that American Home Shield usually sends. the bad part about AHS is that I can't request who I want. They're gonna send out whoever they can get or whoever is contracted with them and sometimes, they're not great companies.

    You need a warranty if you have a home. But I probably would not recommend American Home Shield. They've been decent to me but some of their practices, I don't agree with. I don't like how they take the service fee out before the technician even comes. They charge your card and it’s two or three days or however long it is, before the techs even come to your house. Customers should pay after.

    Also, they say the contractor has 48 hours to call me and set up an appointment. They gave me the phone number and the name of the contractor but every time I would try to call the number, I never could get anybody on the phone. So finally I was like, “Okay, well, let me go to Google and see what I can find.” I call this company, and the person I spoke with said, “I'm sorry, ma'am. I know who you're looking for, but I'm not that company. Because I have a lot of other customers that try to get in touch with this company as well, and they always Google it and they always end up calling my company.” And he said, “You're with American Home Shield, right?” And I said, “Yeah.” And he said, “Yeah, it’s a bad company.” He said he knew a local home warranty company that was cheaper and would give better service.

    Then the other thing, the bad part about AHS is that I can't request who I want. They're gonna send out whoever they can get or whoever is contracted with them and sometimes, they're not great companies. I've had a bad experience with a plumbing company and their guys came in their dirty boots through the house. It wasn't good. I told AHS and they have some kind of list that they'll put in my record that I had a bad experience with a technician or company and they won't send them out again. AHS is not the best but they're definitely not the worst. They have fixed a lot of things in the house.

    The $100 fee is deducted from us as soon as I make the appointment and I would prefer to pay after the service is done instead of when I make the phone call. Also, I call in and make an appointment and sometimes, there's a lag time between when I call and when the service provider actually comes out. I'm not happy about that. I had a claim when I couldn't get the heat going and it was 48 hours before the tech could come out. 48 hours is fine for most things but not for heat problems.

    I got a text message confirming the time on when the tech would come, and asking me to send pictures of the locks so they could be prepared for when they came. So I submitted those back. The gentleman called on the day of the appointment and said he could come early if I wanted. So, he did. He was here an hour and got the job done. I was very satisfied. He was professional and courteous. I was not happy with American Home Shield after that though.

    When we had the service done, I got a phone call from a sales agent. But she was trying to upsell me with the warranty. So we got the warranty as part of purchasing the home. It's not the lowest level, but it's not the highest level. She said that we had options, we could upgrade, we can include electronics, and that I could opt in, and it would cost me $25 a month for the year. She said I could cancel anytime. I said, "Okay. Well, since I could do it, $25 a month seems reasonable. I'll go ahead and do that." I hung up the phone with her. But she proceeded to charge my credit card over $300.

    When I saw it, I called back 'cause it caused me some problems with my account. The other person that answered the phone said, "Oh, no. For those upgrades, you have to do the one-time cost. You can't do the monthly fee." I said, "Why would she be confused about that?" She said, "She wouldn't have been confused about that." I said, "Okay. So she lied to me." Then I said, "I want an immediate credit.” She said, "Okay. I'm sorry, but the credit is going to take up to five business days to go through." I was really pissed.

    My recent claim with AHS was for the house lights around my house. Central Electric Contractors came out and the tech said, "I think your power box is out." I said, "Okay." They left and I never heard them. However, when finally American Home Shield called, the rep said my lights weren't covered. I said, "Why didn't the tech tell me that?" He acted nice. I said, "If it's not covered, it's not covered." I won't make that mistake again.

    We have a his and hers garage and when I turn my switches for the lights on, only two of them would come on. I got nine lights in here. Then, in my wife's garage, she's got two ceiling fans and both of them just quit working. I said, "I hate to go through this again, but I'm paying this money and I'm paying a fee every month and it's gonna cost me $100 for them to come to look at it." But I said, "I'm gonna call and ask the lady, 'Is it covered?' Let her look it up for me." Because I don't have any papers. I called the lady and she said, "Yeah, it's covered." So I went ahead and submitted a claim and they took $100 off my credit card.

    The rep didn't tell him who was coming. It actually was the same company, Central Electric. He came out here and said, "Yeah, your lights are not working." He got his ladder out and he got up there and pushed them, turned them, and rubbed them, and done this and that. He said, "Your ballast is bad. That's not a hard fix." I said, "Okay." He said, "What else you got?" I said, "My wife's ceiling fans here won't work." He said, "Yeah, I can feel it." He got up on the ladder and said, "I can feel it hum. I'll have to turn this fan and then I'll have to order the ballast and the ceiling fans and we'll put them."

    It went on and on but hadn't heard anything. So, I called AHS back. They gave me the number of the Central Electric and got the work order number and sent them an email. I said I'd just bypass American Home Shield and call them. When I called this woman, she got about half smart with me and said when my electrician left, he said the lights were working and the ceiling fans are not covered because they're outside. I said, "Why didn't he tell me that?"

    I also said, "if American Home Shield ever sends you back to my house, you better not come. If that same guy comes, one of us is going to take an **." I called American Home Shield and told them. They haven't called me back since and said, "We have got on your record that this company cannot come back to your house." A supervisor called me twice to resolve this resolution. But, I hadn't heard anything else.

    I have got a person myself. I got my lights fixed and they're working. I got two ceiling fans put up and they're working too. AHS was supposed to give me $100 back and see how they're gonna resolve this, but I hadn't heard a word. There's a thing on my email that came in yesterday on how things got resolved and how satisfied I am. Nothing's got resolved. The only thing that got resolved was I took cash out of my pocket and got them both fixed. But AHS has been good to me. I've had several things done. They just had a bad contractor this time around.

I was not happy with the refrigerator situation, because it took so long between American Home Shield and the service people. I was without a refrigerator for almost two months. I have a child and I kept trying to explain that to them. It took them a long time to decide that the refrigerator was not gonna work. They kept trying to get the appliance people out. They came and after they installed the part, the refrigerator died completely. Then, AHS had to have the service people come out again because they needed them to say that it was dead. Everything I had in my freezer, which I just bought, went bad. So, I had no freezer food.

    I had a situation with my oven too and the appliance people were good but the appointments they made were two weeks apart. I ended up without an oven for two months because the appointment kept getting switched or they would show up without texting you.

They were able to get it to work but they said they were ordering a part and I haven’t heard anything from them. I was gonna call them but I don't think I should have to keep calling them. They should notify me that they ordered the parts or the status of what's going on.

    AHS can be a little more selective in some of these people that sign up to help. Some of them aren't good. One gentleman who came out for the dishwasher and the stove seemed like he was out of it. He was taking pictures but he didn't say when he'd pull the dishwasher out. He left and sent AHS a notice, "Access denied" on both the dishwasher and the stove. We’ve had AHS for 20 something years and I've had really good success, except for these two items. It was a mess and it's the longest I've had to wait, with them having three different vendors come out.

    There was leaking at the base of the toilet and there was water seeping from the base of it. So, I called a claim in to American Home Shield and paid my copay for them to go ahead and assign a tech to come to the home and look at what was going on. It was real quick. Then they assigned someone. I got a call from Rat Rod the next day. They even said they could get somebody out immediately. I told the rep at the time, “It's not immediate. It’s no rush.” It was late afternoon. I said, “Somebody can come tomorrow or the day after.” They were very accommodating when they called me, which was very shocking. Normally, it takes a couple of days before you get anybody to come into your home.

    When the guy came out, he asked what was going on. I said, “Pretty much, I think I know what it is. And me, I don't fool with plumbing or electricity.” He said, “I’ll double-check and check it out.” He had it done and fixed within less than half an hour. He replaced the parts that was necessary for the toilet. The O-ring was worn completely. He did the resealing work on the toilet and did a very good clean-up afterwards. There was no mess. It looked like it's brand new. He's very polite and professional. He was here earlier than anticipated. I would recommend them any time.

    We had an issue with the dishwasher and that's been going on for a while. Today is the day that we finally got the issue resolved through American Home Shield by being persistent and calling five different times, talking to five different people and taking notes with five different people. This is not the first time that we've used them and things have been done before. However, today was magic because one rep who called herself a supervisor got on the phone. We explained things very simply, and five minutes later, the issue was resolved. It was after months and being hung up on though.

    On the other hand, the claim process on our our water heater was quick. It wasn't working, and everybody, including our neighbors and our friend, tried to light it, but it took the knowledge of a plumber to come out and get the thing going again. It was repaired, and the plumber was professional. The neighbors let him in because we weren't down here all the time. They also kept an eye on him and he was extremely nice to them. He was 5 stars out of 5.

    I got a call from my tenant saying that the air conditioner went out. When Nesselrodt Heating & Air Conditioning came, they did something outside to the unit and left. It worked for about four days then it went down again. I called again to American Home Shield, and they called Nesselrodt the back out. They repaired it and it's doing fine.

    I have three houses and when an issue goes down on one of the rent houses especially if I need an immediate serviceperson, it's hard to get permission and get service. It's always they have to schedule it for a day or two later. Then they come out, have to go back and get permission, then have to come out and fix it. There have been times when I would have called American Home Shield for help, but I had to have immediate service so I had to go pay it out of pocket. That's my main issue. I need service when I need service on those houses. I'm used to the idea that they can always come when I need them immediately. Sometimes it's after-hours, so I have to get special permission. For the heating and cooling, the tenants had to go live somewhere else over those couple of days until that got fixed. It was very hot during the summer when that went out.

    We had a stove top that was not working and I think that it was addressed. At this point, I'm still waiting on American Home Shield to get back with us. But as far as Razorback, they did what they should do. The process has been easy because we called on a couple of things since we moved into the house. We had one contractor that came out and he was not pleasant to deal with. But the biggest issue is just not always being able to understand the person that we talked to because it's contracted out. So, sometimes there's a very thick accent and it's hard to understand over the phone all of the pieces. So, it takes a minute sometimes for them to understand or for us to understand what all is going on. But everybody is super patient and understanding, and we'll repeat as many times as we need.

    We had a part that needed to be rebuilt and with this last one, the stovetop, we're waiting. The guy said that it had to just be replaced because it can't be fixed. Today or tomorrow, it will be two weeks ago, and we haven't heard anything from AHS. So, the time frame between having the person come out and look at our appliance, and hearing from AHS, what the next steps are, I feel two weeks is a long time to wait.

    Ours was a weird situation because the seller had bought the warranty prior to selling the house because he knew that there were some things that would need to be looked at or fixed or whatever. And it was better for him to just buy the warranty than to fix the things, which is fine. And maybe we just got bad information from our Realtor. But she said in the closing process that some things were covered in the warranty that weren't. So, we have to now make decisions on what we want to do about it. Other than that, AHS has sent people out to take care of the things that we've had. They've been patient and been able to explain why they can't do the other things.

    My refrigerator has been going in and out, so I put the order in with AHS. They sent someone to look at it and the company they sent said that nothing was wrong with it, just cardboard. They didn't try to unplug it and left after three minutes. Two weeks later, it went out again. So, I called AHS again to schedule an appointment. They assigned it to the same person and I told them that I preferred someone else because they said was there was nothing wrong with it.

    So, Acts ended up coming out. They came to find out that my compressor was bad and it was on its last leg. That was why my refrigerator kept going in and out because it was about to shut off or die. Devin from Acts, was thorough. He opened my refrigerator, then he unplugged it and plugged it back in. I described the clicking sound and he said it sounded like the compressor. So, they ordered the part. Then, he came a few weeks ago and fixed it. However, apparently, my refrigerator had a timer in it to let it know when to come on and off, and that was bad as well. Devin didn’t realize that at the time because he didn't realize that my refrigerator is an older version. So, he came back out immediately last week and he put in the order for a new part.

    I got an email this morning saying that the parts have been ordered but in the meantime, he fixed the refrigerator where it temporarily would still freeze and stay cool until the part is here for it. So, I was very pleased with Acts. All in all, homeowners should make sure that when the contractor comes out, they actually do their jobs and if they don’t, immediately call AHS just so there’s a record of that beforehand. They should also be more aware and ask more questions. Other than that, it was like pulling hair to get AHS to send Acts out and I've been having this issue since before July. Plus, I did a research on that company they first sent out and they had really bad reviews. AHS should look at at the TripAdvisor and Google reviews of the companies they're contracting with o see what other people think before they extend the contract to them.

    There was an issue with a wire that went to the fan motor for the compressor. The compressor would kick on, but the fan motor wouldn't do it. I thought I burned up a motor but when the guy came out there, he said I didn't. It turned out that the wire that was taped up to the top had ridden down, got caught by the blades, and was chopping it up. So it grounded it out. He fixed it right then and there, which was very good. Then he went in there to check the system out and everything was looking good.

    Going on American Home Shield's website for my claims has been extremely simple and they usually give you a call back to tell you who's going to come out there to do it. It takes all about five minutes. The people they hire are good, honest, and trustworthy people. I've had them a long time and they're wonderful. Plus, the warranty is a lifesaver because if something happens at your house, you don't have to worry about calling somebody up and paying somebody an outrageous fortune to do it. You're covered, just like a regular insurance for your car insurance. You're paying each month but it's taken care of when something happens. It's a $75 fee and that's it.

    I had a refrigerator claim recently but the tech didn't resolve the problem initially. When I called them out, I told them what I thought it was. They thought it was something different. They fixed something and replaced one part which they had to order, wait for it then bring it back in. They said that they would follow up the next day to confirm if it was working correctly, which they did not. I didn't think that that replacement was going to fix the problem based on the diagnostics that I had done and the feedback that I had provided them. Sure enough, the problem was not immediately remediated. It looked to be the case for a day but the original problem persisted. I had reached out to them and left them a voicemail but they hadn't gotten back to me. I had to follow up with them after a week and get them back out. They finally got back out and checked again and something else was the issue so they had to order that part. I'm still waiting for them to get back out and remediate the issue.

    American Home Shield's website is comprehensive and so are their plans. Their customer service is well-informed too.

Then they contacted me on Monday, and they said, “We might be able to get you in this afternoon. But for sure, by Tuesday.” They were able to get someone out by Monday afternoon. I saw that they had placed the order first for needed supplies. By Wednesday, they had already got everything they needed. We paid the 642 and something cents to them. Then they had done the installation. The following week, the City came out because our local government does inspections on that type of stuff. They passed the inspection. It's been working fine.

    My overall experience was good. I didn't realize it would be as expensive as it was. But looking at the total cost, it saved us about half. So, that was pretty good. It would be good to know how they would break stuff down, cost-wise. I wasn't sure how it was gonna work out till I was doing it. The first one that I had to pay was $100, almost like a little copay.

    We've had two contractors come out to fix our refrigerator and we paid two deductibles. The first one was able to fix one problem. The second one to fix our ice maker came and replaced something that he said was wrong and that wasn't apparently wrong. Then he was extremely sexist, condescending, and not wanting to make eye contact or speak to my wife. It made her a little uncomfortable. I usually work from home, but I was out that day. She tried to ask questions, and he just ignored her and took phone calls while they were talking. Just very rude.

    I called the tech back two days later because the ice maker still didn't work. He said that the ice would be starting in 12 hours. I thought I'd give it 24. I left a message with him and he said that I need to call somebody else. We've had four visits on the refrigerator and only one thing has been fixed by two different vendors so I'm not particularly happy. I am curious regarding the repair that never happened. The guy that came said it needed an optical sensor. It took a week to get the part. He came back, put it in, and still no ice. We have to go to the basement and we have a small fridge there with a little ice tray and I bring it up.

    The follow up from the actual American Home Shield personnel has been great. The vendors on the other hand have been a little subpar. I have another company coming in to fix it hopefully, which I called JennAir directly, to the manufacturer, and they recommended a local vendor that can actually work on it. Then it would be nice if I got credited the $75 on a future call since I still have no ice and I have to call and pay a separate $150 fee to visit and whatever parts I'm paying out of pocket.

    Our water heater t working and the plumber said it needed to be replaced right away before it could get busted. But it took AHS almost four weeks to get us a water heater because they did not offer me the buyout when I asked them about it. I asked to have somebody call me but no one ever returned my call. They were looking for what they felt would be a good fit and to me, that could translate to wanting to find a cheap one. Aside from that, between me calling them and them replacing it, it busted before they even placed an order to get a new one and our basement flooded. So, I'm very disappointed.

    But up until this point, AHS has done well and this is the first time we've had something big like that. They’ve had to replace a washer and that had not been a problem. When our washer needed to be replaced, the guy told us that the first time he came out but American Home Shield would not replace it. He had to come out here three times and we had to pay every time he came out just for them to finally tell him it was okay to get us a new washer. So, their customer service was also not very helpful and we could have avoided paying the extra $200.

On Tuesday, I picked the first one that it showed and on Friday morning, they were here at 8:00 am sharp with my new oven. A $2,000 double oven cost me $100 to get it replaced. This was my first claim and it was amazing. I pray that if I need anything in the future, it will be as amazing.

I sent the link to 20 people and even if it didn't come with a $25 Amazon card, anybody who is a homeowner needs to get this warranty. I also found out that if I had submitted for two appliances to be serviced at the same time, it would have been $100 for both.

    We bought a house in Tampa and moved here. After moving in, we noticed there was some water on the floor around the toilet. I called American Home Shield and they sent Sigmond Plumbing out. They took the top off of the tank and the hose that feeds the water in the tank came loose and sprayed water everywhere. So, they assumed that that was the problem. They thought it was spraying against the lid and it was leaking down to the floor. So they put a new hose on there and they left. We thought that was the problem.

    A couple of days later, I went back in there and there was water on the floor again. So I called American Home Shield and they said that they would send them back out. They set it up. What the problem was, they had to take the toilet off the floor and the wax ring underneath the toilet had worn out. So they put a new wax ring on there and put the toilet back on. It works perfectly now.

    They were excellent, especially the gentleman who came out the second time. He was a very strong man because he lifted that entire toilet up and set it in the bathtub so he could get that ring. That had to be quite heavy, but he just knocked it right out. When something's leaking, you got to get it fixed pretty quick, or you're gonna have a disaster. And these guys, both appointments, were right on it. They gave me a timeframe, they showed up on time and they got the job done.

The tenant told the person that they can't even put the spigot in place. And they found out something is wrong with the item. Later on, somehow they did not fix it. And what happened is they sent me a copy of the invoice saying $600 and, "You need to pay for it." That's how it started. And sent it to me as the owner and they told me to pay for it. It's not covered and they don't have any record of it. My tenants called up something else through AHS and this might be the only one that was screwed up. My property management company kept calling me, "Do you want to pay for it?" I said, "What I'm paying for?" They told me, "Oh, that's $600 for a faucet." Expensive for a faucet.

    American Home Shield on the SWAT Plumbing, whoever did the work, did a lousy job of doing things. I trust the person that they sent over and fixed it. They said it was two different items, they sent me two different deductibles. It was fine with me but they didn't explain anything. They just sent me an invoice and asked me to pay for it. It doesn't make any sense. I called them and the lady who answered didn't explain to me clearly what was happening there. I asked to talk to the supervisor and explained that I was upset about this thing. The supervisor called later on and at least said it's under investigation. The company tried to help me. But I was a little shocked.

    The AC needed a new battery and the thermostat. There was finally someone quick to come out and that's nice. Last year, I used the warranty once for a water heater. It cost me $1,200 even though I had American Home Shield and it's a water heater and I live in the city. It was a 20-year old water heater, which is pretty old. And everything had to be upgraded and that was not covered. That's not even something I can buy. Nobody has gone out that was, "Okay, that saved me a ton of money." Getting the new water heater put in cost a lot of money even though I had AHS. If I had done it and just called a plumber down the street, he might have worked with me.

    AHS could sell actual upgrade insurance based on the area, the day of the appliances, the average cost of replacing something. If it's $1,200 to replace, and that was for the upgrades, that was to bring it to code. It wasn't so poorly out of code that I couldn't buy the house. So, you buy a warranty so that you won't get hit with a big ticket item. Let's say my furnace goes out. What if the furnace is 20 years old. What is that going to cost me to upgrade?

    So, I had a home warranty in my house here. This one is more of a rental property. The one in my house saved me a lot of money because I had to replace my furnace and air conditioner. I had to pay $1,600, but those are $3,500, $4,000 appliances. So, I could see that it saved me. A water heater is a couple hundred dollars. So, if a couple hundred dollar replacement ends up costing me $1,200, even though I have a warranty, I am just not very happy with it. And I know that I can buy the insurance to cover some upgrades, bring to code, but it only covers $250. AHS ought to explore that more and look at options to cover that. As an insurance company, I'm sure there's a way that they would make money on that. That's the whole point. A lot of people pay a little, then when they have a problem, they don't have to pay for it because they have already paid. And a lot of people have paid. AHS needs to upgrade coverage.

    When we were in the basement, we noticed that the ceiling was leaking. We logged a case with American Home Shield and on the website, there were a limited number of options. Most of the time, we have to select something else because we don't know what is happening. For this claim, we noticed that there was no option for a ceiling leak but there was an option for a leak and there was an option for a faucet. We didn't know what was causing the leak, whether it was a leaking toilet or a broken pipe, so we had to select Other and multiple options. In this case, it turned out to be something else. It would be easier to just free form it on the website instead of having options. After I've selected the option, somebody from Grade A Plumbing called me and asked me what was happening. But this call could have been avoided if I fed everything in the free form.

    The plumber had to spend some time to find out where the leak was coming from and he was pretty good. He was able to trace the source of the leak and fixed it. But it was a water leak and the dispatch was not timely. In this case, it was a small leak, so it was not a big deal. I logged the case one evening and the contractor did not arrive the next day. He arrived the day after, so I had to wait for 48 hours, which I felt was a bit too much.

    Prior to this claim, I had an air conditioner call logged and the tech merely came in and looked at the vents. Then he said that I just needed to close the vents. But he didn't really solve the problem and he didn't do a thorough investigation of the air conditioner. The problem is still there and the air conditioner is not cooling the house anymore. I tried to contact Home Shield about it, but they said once a call has been made, someone has to come to our house and that was it. But except for this AC experience, my overall experience with American Home Shield has been good.

    I was having trouble with my unit as it was power surging really bad. It was taking a while for the air to kick on then cool down. I told Home Shield what my issue was as well as my availability. I was called by the air conditioning company that very same day, which was after normal business hours, and was scheduled when I was available. They also had next-day scheduling available if I needed it. The claim process was 100% easy.

    I showed the tech the report that my maintenance guy had sent. The tech looked at it and he did his own inspection. What the maintenance referred to have done versus what he did was very similar but not the same. Whatever the tech did, it's been working. Home Shield covers a lot more than what I've seen out there.

    I had a garbage disposal that wouldn't unlock and Bissett Plumbing replaced it and it was fine. I've been pretty satisfied with American Home Shield's service all along the way. The premium that I pay is worth the satisfaction of knowing that if I had a catastrophic event, it wouldn't break me. It wouldn't be something that I have to go out and get a loan for. That's never happened, but just knowing that I have that security like if my refrigerator, stove or washer or dryer went out, it's going to cost me a minimal amount. Even though I have to pay the premium every month, it still gives me satisfaction and comfort to know that I wouldn't have some kind of major bill come out.

    I've had two minor issues with American Home Shield so far. They weren't big things, but when it comes to billing, we were told one thing on the phone and it ended up being something different. I called back and the person said they corrected it. But when I checked my credit card, it hasn't been corrected. So I was a bit still learning the process, trying to see how things go. I was planning to give AHS a call this week to talk about some charges that were on the account that I wanted to make sure I understood, because it wasn't what was discussed.

    When the AC unit was not cooling off the house, I went online and put our request in. Someone called us and said they received the request and they would come out. He contacted us. He finished another appointment a bit earlier and wanted to see if he could come out. And it was fine, so we were able to come out and meet with him. He looked at the ac tried to see if there was a leak or whatever was going on. He replaced some Freon to top it off because it was very low. And there was something that was loose that he ended up tightening. He told us to see if that helped, if we had any issues, that they would come back for free to see what else was going on. He was professional.

    I had a plumbing issue and it was the worst experience I ever had in my life. I ran into the same type of issue twice with American Home Shield. I called, submitted a claim with them and told them that my upstairs toilet was taking a long time to fill up with water. They sent someone out. The guy looked around, looked under the sink, said he needed to locate a pressure relief valve and said he would have to get it approved. I waited a day or so. I never heard back from them. So, I called American Home Shield, and at that time, they told me that it wasn't covered. I asked them why no one ever called me to tell me it wasn't covered. So, we left it at that. I told them I didn't feel like I should have to pay the $100 deductible. They said, "Well, water pressure issues aren't covered." I said, "Well, I told you all what was going on. Why didn't you just say it's not covered at a time when I scheduled?"

    I fought back and forth on that for a while. They still made me pay it. Also, to talk to someone in that company that understands what you're saying and is located in this country is not possible. The time when I had the plumbing issue, I told them I don't think it was right that I still ended up paying the $100. I hired a company to come out and do it myself. Then, I had a second issue where I called up because the motor on my air conditioner burnt out. I told them exactly what it was because I had the issue years ago with it.

    They scheduled an appointment and they came out and they said, "We're gonna have to get it approved." I called them a couple of days later and they said it's not covered. So, at that point, I got pissed off and I told them that I was going to decline the charge on my credit card, which I did. But then when my air conditioner burned out a month after that, they wouldn't accept my service claim until I paid back that money. It was 110 outside and my air conditioner wasn't working, so I had to pay them back that money. On those two occasions, I was very dissatisfied. I'd never recommend them.

We had a microwave that needed to be repaired and there were no more parts. American Home Shield kept telling me that the microwave would be out for replacement, but nobody contacted me.

    Getting something fixed happens quickly. But now that it's something that couldn't be fixed that AHS needs to replace, they have disappeared on me. I'm not frustrated enough to say I'm done. Because we've had more good experiences with them than bad. Like Air Doctor was fantastic. When our air conditioning stopped working, they scheduled the repair for later but they had a cancellation. They came sooner. They had to order a part so we had to wait a few days for that to come in. But as soon as they got it, they came back out. The tech put the part in, and all was good.

    We submitted a claim with AHS because we had an AC issue recently. At first, it was making noises in the house, the air conditioning going on. Door Cool came out. The tech analyzed it and said, “First of all, you have to change your filters,” which we did. He also discovered that a couple of units required some refrigerant. So we added that. We changed the filters after he left. The noise in the house was gone. However, when it turned on, if you stepped outside where the fans are, the compressors were really loud. So we called them back out under the same work order.

    He discovered what he had done in one of the units that was making the noise. He stood there and witnessed the noise. He said, “This sometimes happens if we add too much refrigerant.” So he tuned it down a bit and it worked just fine. So we haven’t had any trouble since. He was very professional. Didn't have any further recommendations other than, “These things are pretty old. So in the future, you may have to replace one or two or three units.” But right now, they seem to be fine.

    American Home Shield took care of the problem so I'm very happy with their service. The AC unit wasn't blowing cold air and they sent out a technician the very next day. He fixed the problem that day. American Home Shield is worth it. It seemed to save me money in the long run. I've used them three or four times so far and their contractors have always been very quick coming out here.

    The pool heater was recording an incorrect temperature and I gave American Home Shield a call and said that I wanted to have someone come out and check it. That’s what I always do and the way the claims process is set up is very easy. You make the phone call and then, they follow up. The reps are always polite and the calls are always answered properly. Whoever's answering the phone is always helpful and apparently, they record the information right away because within 24 hours, which is what they promise, someone from the repair company always reaches out. ABNation has been out more than once to deal with some pool issues and it has always been a good response time. The problem has always been repaired in a timely manner and all the technicians have been very nice, professional and polite.

    I was talking with a friend who had a good experience recently with AHS with an air conditioning issue and she had only been a member of American Home Shield for a relatively short time. The contractor came out and repaired the problem. They changed her whole system and she only had to pay a nominal fee. Since I've had AHS, I've had a number of issues and it's worth the price you pay on a monthly basis. I've recommended it to other people also and they've been pleased. It's been a good experience. I've been pleased with timeliness and the professionalism that they've displayed.

    The contractor came out to fix a leak, or they all were constantly running, even the faucet. I'm getting charged 500 and something dollars a month and I don't know what the issue is. I opened up the door to one of the units in the basement and water is all over the floors. I don't know if they're fixing problems or making them. I just know that all my bills are going up. They sent me a letter, "Due to the drastic change, we have a leak." So I had the contractor come out and they looked at the toilet. I'm praying that it's just the toilet that's running. The tech changed the faucet in one of them but it still does the same thing. So I'm a little confused with that. But they come back out Friday, and hopefully they fix it and give me another letter to turn in to the water company.

    May Heating & Air came out to fix an AC issue. That was my second time calling in the warranty about the same HVAC unit. The guy thought he would fix it when it didn't want to heat, but he didn't. It turned out, one of them was blocked and the other one needed a blower. That was annoying because they made the second appointment from 8:00 to 12:00, but no one ever showed up. No one called me. I went to work, and the guy decided to call me at 4:30 and he said, "Yeah, we're turning in." And I was, "Excuse me? What are you talking about?"

    I had no knowledge of him coming. And he said, "If you're not gonna be here within a certain time--" "Can you give me 15 minutes? I'm just trying to pick up my daughters." "Yeah, we got other jobs to do." And, it was the people in the office's fault not his. "Right. So still, keyword, your office, not mine. So your office didn't call me and tell me that you were coming. I'm taking off work for these appointments. It's a hassle. It's a headache.” By the third time I talked to him, and I told him, "Hey, I'm driving down 4th of Industrial. There's traffic." And he said, "Well, we got to go." And I'm like, "Do whatever you want to do." But he stayed and waited for me, and fixed it.

    My experience has been not that bad. But it hasn't been the best experience every single time I call. American Home Shield finds someone. But the people that they find is not always the best. The first one came in smelling like a pack of Newport. My kids got asthma. I asked, "Hey, did you just smoke a cigarette?" He did like a thug type of "yeah." I said, "What the hell?" He got mad because I asked him. He turned around and told AHS that it was my fault that all the toilets were broken. How could it be my fault? I just bought the house. I had to take off of work, again, for another company to come out.

    American Home Shield's claim process was smooth, especially since they have a new adapted technology thing that must have taken place at some point during COVID. They can do a FaceTime call and screenshot the defective or broken products that need fixing. That is shown to the contractor before coming out and they would know what tools to bring. There is no confusion there and on what parts to order. That's really nice and handy. It takes less time than if they send somebody out and they don't have the right stuff and they would have to come back another time.

    The technicians were all really pleasant people and they showed up. They were courteous and hardworking. When I had a broken dryer lint trap and also an issue with the ice maker on my fridge, the technicians replaced the lint traps and they were able to fix the ice maker. I've had a more than satisfactory experience with American Home Shield and the people they've had.There was just one time that it took a little long but that was as expected. That was for an AC equipment in the summertime.

    I requested a repair of my refrigerator and microwave on 8/9/2021. As of today nothing has been done. I have attempted to reach out to the service provider assigned and they have ignored my calls, emails and texts regarding the status. During the past 7 weeks, American Home Shield has not responded to my request to escalate the issue and to send in another company. I even offered to buy the parts myself (out of pocket) and asked them to send the service provider. AHS continued to ignore my request and wait for this nonresponsive company to do the work. The company often did not even respond to them.

    For this period of time I have been without refrigeration. Each time the service operators say the same thing, but nothing is being done. This is a breach of contract. I am a senior citizen who is being treated like a 2nd class citizen. I want the repair done immediately or a new refrigerator. If customer satisfaction is a priority, they are not living up to their agreement. I have been patient and paid my fee each month. It is time AHS does its part. 7 weeks and counting.

    AHS has improved on the wait time when I try to call but a lot of times, I have to repeat myself. The reps don't understand what I'm asking because I don't think that English is their first language. I try to be patient with them but a lot of times they give me the wrong information. The last time they had somebody out, they asked specifically what the problem was and I told them the problem. They got somebody to come out and the guy said the issue was not covered so my $100 went out the door.

    They didn't reimburse me for that, even though their people said it was covered. It would be important for them to get people who understand the problems of a home in America so they can troubleshoot, instead of them reading off of a list of items and presuming that they know. Also, I like some of the contractors but there are some that I don't. Other than those, I have peace of mind that I have a warranty on the home and I'm very happy with their coverage. They have been very accommodating when it comes to fixing things, changing, and getting second opinions.

    American Home Shield's claims process is good except I had an issue with the dryer. It was supposed to be zeroed out. It was very not in sync and I had a hard time. It goes offshore for the initial talking and they don't understand what's happening. Eventually, it had to go to somebody who's higher up. It was a lot of phone calls back, not getting anywhere and being told something's being done and it's not. I had to call back to make sure too. That dryer claim was a nightmare and I almost quit then. I could never get an answer, but the last two calls about that was quick, so I was happy.

    My last claim was for a fridge, and it was seamless, which is what I'm used to. It was those LGs and we already had someone else. The back of our fridge just kept freezing and the whole thing was like a giant block of ice. It was not repairable, so we zeroed it out. I’m supposed to get a new one and they're supposed to be here today. The tech was super nice. He'd been out for our washer and dryer previously. He was knowledgeable and explained a lot, which was nice. He'd say, “Here's what we would have to replace.” “What would you like? This is what I recommend.” He looked up brands too. He'd advise which ones are having issues and to stay away from. He said, “I know for me, my job is repairing things. But I don't want you to get something that's terrible.”

    It's usually easy to put in a service request and American Home Shield has been good about covering things as far as walking it through. I’ve told people to get them. It's totally worth it. Like a hazard, it's a more of a protection. It can be 20 years, but it helps to have somebody, especially with the experts to come in. I don't have to call around and find someone. That's what I like. American Home Shield has people and they’ve been vetted. I haven't had a repair person that's been bad. Every one who has showed up has been awesome.

    We had American Home Shield for a year and never used it. All of a sudden, our appliances crapped out one after the other. American Home Shield gave us a runaround on the air conditioning unit. The technicians sent their report in on what they found when they checked the unit that quit working. We spent 21 days with no AC and it was over 100 degrees every day. I was really perturbed that we had to wait 21 days to get an air conditioner installed. American Home Shield was not even communicating with Austin AC, the company that was supposed to replace the unit.

    Thank God there was a portable air conditioner in the master bedroom and a portable air conditioner in my grandson's bedroom. We had those two rooms school cool but the rest of the house was like the inside of a blast furnace. I have MS and I told American Home Shield that. The high heat wasn't good for me and I couldn't spend all my time in my grandson's bedroom. I needed an answer. Still, we waited three weeks and it was very hot and miserable. The air conditioner is running now and the weather has also cooled down. Austin AC was excellent.

    We also had a claim for our stive and American Home Shield was really good about that. A repair guy showed up and he said they could replace the display panel. We could still use the stove. The next thing I heard was they were replacing the stove. It was just a matter of a week or so. That was encouraging. They were very prompt and very helpful. The appliance place that replaced the stove was called Zip Appliance and they're here in town in Bakersfield. They were awesome.

    I also called American Home Shield because the water dispenser and the ice maker of the refrigerator weren't working. They said all I said was the ice maker so I told them to listen to their recorded phone call. A guy came and replaced the ice maker and it works great. Thank God they did because we lived on ice water the whole time the air conditioner was out but couldn't get any cold water. When you turn the cold water on and it's over 100 degrees outside, the water coming out of the cold side of the tap is hotter than the hot water. We couldn't use the water dispenser because it sprayed out everywhere. The company that the guy works for told him to try to jam the waterline down through the inside of the door. He got it to go so far and he didn't want to force it because he didn't want the line to snap. Now the water just comes out of the door like a waterfall and not out the spout. We're still dealing with that.

    At the same time, the dishwasher stopped drying the dishes. The thermostat in the dishwasher was replaced. My kids were gone for about three days and I didn't turn the dishwasher on. My kids turned it on when they got back and it got full of dirty dishes. It was five days after their guy came and put the thermostat on that we discovered that the dishwasher still wasn't drying the dishes. I call backed and was asked to do a video call on this thing and that thing. I'm said, “I don't know what you're going to learn on a video call. We turned the dishwasher on. They don't dry. They're wet. We pulled the racks out and let them air dry overnight. I can show you racks of wet dishes or racks of dry dishes or whatever you want to see.”

    The dishwasher still wouldn't dry the dishes. My son-in-law did the video call supposedly but they kept saying they couldn't hear him and he couldn't hear anybody on the other end. The same company but a different technician will be coming to look at the refrigerator, the water dispenser, and the dishwasher tomorrow. They're from Valencia, which is 111 miles from here. The appliance company this time was LA Appliance and they were somewhat argumentative. They haven't made coping with the dishwasher or the refrigerator any easier.

    When American Home Shield replaces something, it's with a decent product. But they certainly dragged their feet on the air conditioner, the dishwasher, and the water dispenser. Those issues aside, I was really glad that I convinced my daughter. She works all day so that left me to do all the phone calling and arranging and the policy ended up being in my name. I had it 100 years ago when I lived on Miami Street and I used it once for either my air conditioner or my thermostat. The guy who came said there was nothing wrong with my thermostat. I knew someone who worked in the air conditioning field and he came and checked the thermostat. It was five degrees off and he just slapped on a new thermostat. We didn't have any trouble after that. Overall, American Home Shield is satisfactory.

I called AHS again and they said they could cancel that claim and reopen it so they could give me a new contractor. We did that and the lapse was another month.

    They gave me another contractor and they were more responsive than the other one. But they had to order a part and my washer got fixed barely a month ago, and I started this whole process in July. Also, my fridge went out during this period so I called and put another claim in. The only thing good about this whole thing is that because I already had a claim open and because I had had so many issues, the rep just put this fridge on the same ticket so I don't have to pay another $100 deductible. But that was about a month ago that that happened and the contractor just came out yesterday to fix the fridge. When the year comes up, I'm going to cancel. It's not worth it for me for my frustration.

    In my recent claim, Pop-a-Lock of Texas changed the locks on our doors and even switched out the backdoor lock for me. I'm loving American Home Shield so far and it's definitely been very beneficial. It answers everything I need and provides all kinds of stuff that I didn’t even know I could get assistance with.

    The appliance was unfixable because there were parts that ended up broken on it and the replacement estimated date of getting the parts that were needed was not available, other than pushed out for multiple months. The tech did a great job and I was happy with the service. His diagnosis was appropriate. But the claims process with American Home Shield is long. I filed a claim on August 16th and I'm not getting my dishwasher fixed or a new one replaced until the 28th of October so that time gap is not appropriate. Other than that, I don't have a bad experience.

    Our toilet was not working. Total Plumbing came and they did their repair but the toilet continued to run. When Total Plumbing left the first time they came, I was told the claim was closed and completed. But the work was not done. Before the 30 days was up, I called about the toilet again and was told that Total Plumbing already came and it had already been 30 days. This would have to be a new claim.

    Also, the only thing that American Home Shield had on file was the day that I made the claim and not the day that was scheduled with the vendor. Because of that, I had to pay again the day after. Total Plumbing's work was days after my schedule. Immediately, I saw a charge of $100. The schedule was four to five days after because we determine the schedule based on the vendor when I call for the service. Total Plumbing had to order a piece and that took some days. I called them few times. The issue with the toilet was solved when the piece was installed.

    I've been a customer of American Home Shield for over seven years. I have another home insured by them as well. The policy is clear but I noticed that every state is managed differently. I have a home in Virginia and one in Phenix City, Alabama. I noticed that in Virginia, I have more freedom to call and say that a claim is still pending even though the technicians arrived. That is noted in my work orders when I make a claim. I can call and immediately get what I need. When I call in the region of Alabama, American Home Shield has a little bit of a broken system. I ask if I can have another vendor and I am told, “This is the only one that we have.”

    If I need fixing in four to five days, it will happen but on their schedule and not in the time that a customer needs to be served. It's also sometimes hard to connect. I needed to call American Home Shield in Alabama to validate that my request was covered. There's a process of asking permission after they take my money. Another thing is I don't see the transaction within my statement a couple of months later. It's not immediate. Overall, I will continue and I will recommend American Home Shield. Alabama's different monster and is a little slower and with fewer vendors. But the one that has been with me in different areas has been good. It's just I have to sit and wait because the selection is limited.

    We had problems with the toilet and with the sink in the kitchen. That claim went great. The tech fixed everything. He was really good. For our most recent claim, we had a problem with the washing machine. There was a really bad smell on it and we found mold. Also, at times it doesn't work properly. The person in charge of going through it didn't explain that much. He just let the washer run for a minute and turned it off. He said he was gonna get back to us with some replacement parts for the washer. He didn't explain what he was planning to do and what he was planning to replace. But we never heard anything back from him.

    We're just waiting. We just wanna know if we can fix it or should we just buy a new one and replace it with AHS. Besides this washer experience, everything has been great.

    The screen on the refrigerator was not working, and the ice maker and everything connected to that screen didn't work. I filed a claim to AHS through their website and it was okay.

    American Home Shield sent LDA for the fridge. It wasn't working fine and all of a sudden, the ice didn't work. They fixed it, and then it wasn’t cooling. They put a compressor, and then it made ice, and then it stopped when they came again. I called them and said the ice was not coming again. We're already in October and I'm like, “God, please fix this.” Every time they come, they were very nice. They were coming whenever I called them. They were very helpful. At least they come out and check. They put everything they could, and they thought it will work. They tried their best. I'm glad we solved the problem. AHS did a wonderful job. Everything was handled very well. The best way to handle claims is to go with AHS.

    American Home Shield's website is very convenient at all hours. My AC was plugged and the primary line was leaking. I got a confirmation that a company was assigned to me and that they'd be notifying me within three days and if I didn't hear from them, to contact AHS. My issue happened on a weekend, so early Monday morning, they contacted me and told me they would be out the following day.

    Because they were also the ones that did the install when my AC unit went out earlier in the year, I told the tech, "My unit outside, since the last visit, it seems like it's leaking Freon too." So he checked it and tightened it up and I'm not having the leaking. There's a little bit of drainage, but not the excessive leaking that was going on. I've been with AHS for years and every problem I've ever had within my home, be it appliance-related or AC-related, you guys were responsive and you acted on it and everything was repaired. So, I'm very happy with them.

    Moving into a new house, I acquired the account that's been here since 2011. The house needed some things up to par and AHS came over. We had some hiccups in reference to some coverage but at the end of the day, they did what the policy said they would do -- like with the hot water heater that went out in 2014. They declined it twice. The contractor got a poor evaluation as to what was going on with it and they were rude. They made sure that I understood that they were not responsible for my water heater and that they stand by their decision. I told AHS to not bring those guys back to my house.

    Then, a different contractor came out and gave us a fair assessment. They went in and looked at the thermostat, the water heater instead of looking at the pan, and some other things that were going to create a problem. They educated me so that I could talk to AHS about what it was. It was a lot of time wasted and I paid a little bit more than what I thought I should be paying. When I need them, I gotta feel like I’m not gonna have to go and pull teeth just to get service. I’m already paying $75 for a contractor to come in, on top of the yearly coverage that I'm paying, so there’s a cost for their contractor to come in and be declined. That’s not cool. But at the end of the day, we're happy that AHS covered it. Overall, I'm extremely happy with them and I will keep the coverage.

    We couldn't get the garage door opener to work. A tech called me the next day and set up the service for the day after. He was nice and he did the troubleshooting very quickly. He determined that the door opener was no longer any good. He had one on the truck so he hooked it up. The garage door opener is working fine now. One benefit of having American Home Shield is the cost for repairs is less than if I had to pay for them all by myself.
