    I woke up Saturday morning and our heater wasn't working. My wife called American Home Shield and paid the $75. They went with a contractor that they used in the past year. We got a thing from American Home Shield that the contractor would be contacting us. I then got an email from the heating company saying that they would be in touch with us within the next business day. This was Saturday morning. That meant nobody was even going to try to get ahold of us until Monday. We weren't hearing anything back from the contractor as to when technicians were coming.

    Since it was stated in the email that we could call the contractor, I tried calling. The voicemail said that unless it was an emergency and we were going through homeowners insurance, we needed to contact the home warranty company and have the claim upgraded. We called American Home Shield back and they expedited the request to an emergency. We still didn't hear back from the contracted company so American Home Shield got ahold of a different company. Their technician showed up. It turned out the problem was a flame sensor. The technician didn't have the part and couldn't get it until Monday. He was back first thing Monday morning and got the furnace fixed.

    We went through a lot with this claim. My wife was on the phone for quite a long time with American Home Shield. One lady she talked to was on the phone trying to get a contractor here. When the technician called me and said he was 10 minutes away, I let the lady know that. She basically said we called the contractor and that American Home Shield was not going to pay it. We kept trying to tell the lady that we didn't call anybody but she wouldn't stop talking. When the technician got here 10 minutes later, I had asked who called him and he said it was the home insurance thing. It turned out that American Home Shield contacted the contractor and they had the work order from them.

    The technician that came was excellent. He didn't have the part and the parts weren't available. He said they could try to call a store and have them open up to get the parts if they had them. But it was gonna cost us $150 out of pocket, which we were willing to pay. When I called the technician back, he said he had already called the stores to see if there are any parts available and there was going to be nothing available until Monday. This time around, our experience with American Home Shield was kind of shaky. But that aside, our heating unit has been so good so far. American Home Shield is a good company. Every time we used them, like with the furnace last year and with a dishwasher issue, everything was taken care of. It was an excellent experience.

    The HVAC claim I've had has been taken care of. But I've been dealing with American Home Shield for a couple of years and I'm getting more dissatisfied every time I call. They had someone come out and check the air conditioner and I paid $100 upfront and then they charged me $400 to fix it. It was just because the vents were clogged. If it continues in this vein, I will be changing my warranty company.

    I have had a couple of technicians come to my house for another issue at my permanent address and they've been okay. But I'm also still waiting on a callback for my microwave. It has gone out in October and here it is, almost January. I'm not very happy with that. Be cautious of American Home Shield. Check them out and talk to other people about them first besides me.

    I've been using American Home Shield for three years now. It's simple and convenient. I call if something broke, and it gets fixed normally in a timely manner. So, it's cut and dry. I had it resolved within 24 hours after I made the first call. 9 times out of 10, the guys that come out are kind, courteous, clean, especially with this pandemic, their mask, booties and gloves. I've had an instance once or twice where the response was slow. But overall, I'm happy with the experience.

    My smoke detectors, hallway light, and several electrical outlets weren't working. Two techs from Electrical Service came out and fixed all of those. Then my microwave was tripping the breaker out in the box. They were great. They were very smart and knowledgeable. One of the plugs wasn't even broke. It has a different switch out in the garage. All I have to do is press the button. So one of the techs tested that one and then we went to the garage and pressed the button, and even everything outside started working. But I'm not happy with AHS after this visit. They charge $100 every time somebody comes out. The guys assured me that I didn't have to pay the 100 for the microwave, but AHS wants to charge me another $100 just for somebody to come out because it's an appliance and they did other work in the house.

    If I have a service call for electrical, and they came in, and they wrote up the paperwork saying that it wasn't electrical, and it was the appliance itself, they shouldn't re-charge that person. I'm in disagreement with them right now. So when my contract is up with them in July, I'm not renewing it. Also, they don't cover anything outside. So if you have a plumbing leak outside in your garden, they don't cover it. I have found a different warranty company that does.

    I put in a claim to American Home Shield for a garbage disposal repair. The claim was referred out to a local company. I contacted them, and they were able to get me in the very next day on the schedule. The technician arrived early. He knew exactly what to do and repaired it within a couple minutes, and he left me with the tool so I can repair it myself because it was a very simple problem. So, I was very happy with it. I feel a little sheepish that I didn't know how to repair it myself because it was so simple. But the technician was fantastic and showed me how to do it. I feel very empowered.

    Steve Rogers Locksmithing was excellent. He was very polite, professional, courteous and quick. The same day, I made arrangements to have someone come for the ice maker because it won't shut off. The AHS rep made an appointment to have somebody come to fix that. She took my $100 payment to have an appliance guy come. As soon as he came in, he said the ice maker’s not covered. I paid $100 for nothing. When I called, right after finding out that it wasn't covered, the first thing the rep said was, “You shouldn't have made the appointment. It's not covered.” I said, “I'm new. You made the appointment for me.” She stopped right there.

    I’ve been trying to get my $100 back. There was a dispute put in by a rep over a week ago. That rep said that he would call me back in two days. He never called back. Till I called today, and they saw that it was sent to whatever department. The girl today told me they could take a week or two to get a response. I told her it wasn't acceptable. Now, I have concerns with the furnace because it's very loud. I'd like to make an appointment to have someone come, but then I don't know if I trust AHS.

    Submitting the claim for my dryer was fine, but it took months to get it resolved. The repair man came three times over two months or more and replaced just about everything. It still didn't work and then finally it was decided we needed a replacement, which I just found out yesterday. I have to go buy one 'cause they didn't have one and they couldn't get one. American Home Shield gave me money, which I don't believe is enough compared to the one I'm replacing. I also have one more pending claim, and I had one completed for a heat pump. They fixed it on the first trip out.

    We are selling our house. After the inspection was done, there were some findings from the buyer's HVAC company. Based on those findings, I called and sent the report to American Home Shield's account. They came out and said that everything looked okay, so there was some conflict there. So, I had AHS come out again. They had the full report of the initial HVAC company's notes and again, they came back with a similar finding that this is not necessarily urgent or has to be repaired. They were nice. As long as they inspected everything and provided a report, I was fine with what they did. Right now, it's very confusing because one company's saying something and another company's saying something else, and so this week, we're bringing in a third party that doesn't have any bias towards the buyer or the seller.

    I'm happy with American Home Shield. They have helped me in the past. I'm not happy with the most recent event, which is a different ticket, and that I have no hot water and no one calls me. Until I made the phone call, that was when I found out that the company didn't plan on servicing us. It's been a couple of days already. I would have liked that customer service or response time better. That's not the norm. Usually, AHS helps me next day or the company calls me the next day and gives me an update.

I had some locks rekeyed and the contractor that came out got everything done that day. They were great. Then I have an oven that's still not functioning, can't get parts so not a whole lot we can do about that. It's just hard to cook without an oven, at least for my wife. I submitted a claim on the dishwasher as well. It's mostly fixed. AHS had to order some parts for it too.

    The heater was running but it wasn't heating. I requested service on American Home Shield's website, and they sent out a contractor. I talked to him personally and he said he would be out on Christmas Eve, which was very nice of him. He was knowledgeable. It wasn't really his fault. He fixed it that day. Then the heater did it again four days later. I came to find out that the sensor went off because my chimney is clogged. It was not so much a furnace issue. So, I'm having a chimney guy come out.

    I don't have money to pay for appliances, a heater or an air conditioning unit. It says that American Home Shield will send somebody out to fix it or they'll replace it. My heating and my air conditioning units are very old. The heater is 20 and the air conditioning condenser is 30. But they both work perfectly. When I bought the house I made sure I had somebody to come out and look at them. I just figured I’d get American Home Shield just in case. In the dead of heat if the air conditioning unit dies, then I can put a service request in and have someone come out. If it breaks, I won't have to shell out like $7,000. I'd recommend American Home Shield. I'd tell others it's a great idea. It covers all of your appliances. The higher you pay monthly, the less you got to pay for a claim. Then you just have somebody come out and they look at it, and they’re pretty fast with it.

    Moreno has good plumbers and they do a good job. The last time they were here was because of the plumbing pipes. A valve in the pipes broke and they repaired it. They did a good job. Before that, the garbage disposal broke and was leaking like crazy in our kitchen. They diagnosed the problem, put in a new garbage disposal, and made sure we didn't have any leaking. Then we had a drain that was badly clogged in our master bedroom bathroom. They got those pipes out underneath the sink, cleared that out, and snaked that out. We’ve had good luck with American Home Shield repairing things.

    We had an outlet that sparked outside. It burned the outlet and burned through the electrical plate. The person came out, removed the old outlet and replaced it with a new one. It has been good so far with American Home Shield although it would be nice to be able to add something. It looks like they only cover items such as electrical or the dishwasher, sink, etcetera. But we had a drawer come off in our kitchen and they don't cover that. I would have paid the extra money for fans or an upgrade because you'll never know when one of those are going to go down.

    The pump motor had failed. I had tried resetting the breaker but there was no power at all. Aquatic Pool and Spa contacted me and I told them what was going on. The technician came out and he had to order a motor. He said he'd be back in a couple of days. He did and put it in. The system was restored but in this process of removing the old electric motor and putting the new electric motor in, he had to sort of work in a precarious position of working over some of the existing plumbing equipment that operates the pool.

    From the pump to the filter, there were pipes. In working over this location, he must have hit the pipe enough times trying to remove the motor from the pump itself. A couple of days later, my wife noticed a noise. It was air being sucked into the system when the pump came on because the pipeline must have been fractured just enough that under pressure, there would be a leak. I called AHS and they said they'd send Aquatic Pool and Spa back out in order to repair the break. I have contacted Aquatic Pool and we set up a time and date.

    Dana was the gal that I spoke with. She was right on time and understood the situation. I asked her if I should stop payment on my check to Aquatic Pool and Spa to make sure that they respond. She said that was not necessary and they got me covered. The owner of Aquatic Pool and Spa and I communicated via text and I have no doubt that Steve and their service tech will be here tomorrow afternoon with the part. He was quite knowledgeable of the work that needed to be done. However, I was under the impression that they would come out and replace the pump in kind. But seeing it wasn't replaced in kind because of legislative changes, the contract agreement should be a little clearer so people know what they're signing up for.

    When the original guy from A & E came out, he said that the unit was all rusted inside and we really needed a new furnace. He also said that it had a capacity issue so we really needed for the unit to be replaced. When I asked him how much it would be, he told me that it was gonna cost me at least $1,000 out of pocket. I didn't have $1,000 and all I could do was ask him to at least get the unit working. He said that he'd who what he could and he got the unit working enough. But something else happened. The outside fan wasn't working so another guy from A & E came back out. The guy showed me the inside of the furnace. It is rusted really badly. He told me what he did and explained that it could work for a while and stop. So at some point, I would need to look into getting the unit replaced.

    Other people that use American Home Shield have other service companies. But for me, even though I'm a part of Birmingham, Alabama, it seems crazy to have just two companies to choose from. The first company I had come out, they always provided the schedule they wanted me to have and it was never convenient for me. I'm a school teacher and I go to school and work and it's convenient for me when I tell them that I need them to come. I told American Home Shield that I did not want to deal with that company ever again. They were overpriced and they'd always find something else that I got to pay for out of my pocket for them, besides the $75. But A & E was the one company that worked with me as far as time to be able to come.

    It never fails that I have to turn around and call American Home Shield when it's anything with my heating and air. The first guy worked for an hour to try to get something done. Then the second guy was out in the rain between the furnace inside and the fan outside for probably two hours to get it done. At this point, I don't know what it would take for me to have to get my unit replaced 'cause even the service guy said that with a lot of companies, it would be hard to get it replaced. But overall, American Home Shield is a good company. And I would still work with them.

    When you push your microwave, it signals that the door is indeed closed but the connections that are inside the door stopped working. So, I couldn’t use my microwave. The guy came out and brought connections and replaced them but for whatever reason, it still was not working. He told me that I probably needed a new one so he put it in. Now, I’m waiting on American Home Shield to do their part. When I've had stuff replaced before, I usually get an email from American Home Shield the next day. The service on the microwave was on Monday so, it's been a few days.

    What was aggravating was that I called before Christmas, which was before we knew that the connections weren't gonna matter anyway. The guy said that AHS makes them buy their stuff and they want to order the parts. I understand that but it sucks because the guy could have at least attempted to do it. We would have known before Christmas that just changing the connections wouldn't work. It's not a good way to do business. I'm paying $70 a month already. So, over the year, and if this is the only thing that I have to get fixed, I could buy a microwave in a couple of months for the cost that AHS is charging me and I can get it done fast. It's one of those things where I'm not even sure if it's worth having on the smaller stuff because if there was a way I could pick and choose, I would pick the large stuff. But even then, with $70 a month over 12 months, I could buy brand new appliances because they’re not replacing everything.

    Being without a microwave is hard right now because my kids go to school. They don’t use microwaves at school so if they want hot food, I have to use a thermos when trying to heat up food in the morning to pack their lunch. You have to either cook it on the stovetop or in the oven, which depending on what you're heating up takes a while. I've managed because I still have a heating source. But I was a little upset that the guy couldn't at least attempt to replace it even though he had the tools to do so or the parts. We would have known about it already and we would have already put it in. Then, I would already have a microwave at this point.

    AHS ends up choosing good repair people but if it's something that's not a specific part, but it may be a general part, it wouldn't be a bad idea if they had it on hand, even if it's from American Home Shield or come to some sort of a different agreement. If the price difference between what American Home Shield can get the part for and what these guys can get it for is $5, then that's ridiculous to force me as a customer to wait until American Home Shield buys the parts and mails it.

    The guy from JKH Door Service showed up and got everything fixed in a pretty timely manner. The door was squeaky before he got there. And it's not squeaky anymore. American Home Shield was great. But sometimes it can be difficult over the phone with their claim rep because they don't quite understand English very well. But it gets the techs out there and when they get out there, they take care of it. I’ve had about six claims already and I’ve had a couple of issues with some of the subcontractors. The second time I called on an issue, I requested that they didn't use a specific subcontractor. Other. than that, I'd recommend using a home warranty to people.

    Submitting claims has always been easy to do. I usually do it online. Niebuhr Plumbing & Heating always does an excellent job. Also, I have always been very pleased with the service from American Home Shield and how they handle things. If you have a home with some appliances that are older, get American Home Shield. And if you just don't like to keep reserves, or you're not a good saver, have it if you are concerned about unexpected expenses.

    After several call and unqualified technicians calling and coming to our home our Bosch tankless hot water heater was serviced by one of their top notch team. He was scheduled to come at 2Pm however he didn’t get here until 8PM and was high on **, said it wasn’t serviceable and would return tomorrow. He never showed back up. We called them back to ask what was going on and my wife was talked down to and my daughter was called an inbred!

    I had just purchased the home and asked for an “American Home Warranty” which I have had excellent service from in the past. I wrote the VP Raj Midha. He had Jody ** email me and I was told basically that I had to pay got the service call from a company I chose since they didn’t have anyone in my area, and if the prognosis was that it hadn’t been maintained I had to pay the bill in full! Now I had gotten this warranty as a new purchase. How the hell do I know if the previous owner maintained it? They don't care. I wouldn’t recommend this company to shine my sneakers!!!! Never mind protecting my assets! Beware. They have many names. Do your research. Please don’t be another VICTIM of on American company deception!

    We had a plumber come out two times and the guy was terrible. He said it was cosmetic and he used some putty on the faucet to stop it from moving around but it was all off-center. The cold water was turned around so much, it hit the bar and the hot water started in the middle of the faucet. It wasn't satisfactory and American Home Shield sent out a master plumber or somebody else. But the same plumber came out. I looked at him and he looked at me, and I said that they didn't send a different plumber out. He said that I got him, and he walked out and left. We called AHS and they sent another plumber out. I was happy with the guy. I would highly recommend Steinberg but the other company that came out first was a joke. It was ridiculous.

    I have a relatively older floor-mounted gas heater so I like to have a professional set it up for the year. I'm a little bit analog and old school so I typically call in my claims. Absolute Heating, Cooling came out and their guy was fine. He was pleasant, polite, and funny. He also wore a mask. He noticed the unit was running really loud but he got it to ignite. We thought it was fine. And then the temperature got warmer again so we didn't turn on the heater for a couple of days. When we did turn it on, it wouldn't ignite at all. I called and a guy came that day and realized that the problem was the motherboard. He had to order it and it took about three days or so for it to come in. I had a little bit of trouble getting ahold of them. It was the holidays. But as soon as the guy got the motherboard, he came in and it took him two minutes to do the fix. Now, we have a heater and it's perfect. Overall, it was a good experience.

    This repair would have been so much more time-consuming and expensive for me had I not had American Home Shield. One thing about the home warranty that I have been disappointed about is that there are little exceptions to what they will and will not cover. And that's variable. Sometimes, that can be an issue. But I've had many issues with my house that they have come and helped me with that it’s been so worth the policy.

    My initial contacts with American Home Shield were great. With the electrical, the contractor didn't come out for a couple of weeks because of the holidays. When On Time came out to look at the AC, they said it was too cold to test it for anything. It was in the 30s and they said they had to have it up in the 50s. I was surprised that they didn't tell me that before they came out because that was a waste of their time and mine, except for them telling me that the unit is too small for the size of the house.

    When I needed to use American Home Shield, I called them and they take care of my claim. For my recent claim for my icemaker, the first company blew me off. AHS reached out to me and I got First Choice. They were an awesome contractor. They were very polite and they took care of my needs. The techs explained the problem, fixed it and walked me through after the issue was fixed. I highly recommend them.

    The only issue I had with AHS was that when we cancelled a service, there was something that wasn't covered and it took forever to get my money back. Every time I call, the reps would say somebody didn't process my claim but they were gonna get it done that day. I'd follow because they would say it took so many business days. That went on for a little over a month. I was tired of the runaround. They took my money in one day but it took weeks for them to put it back on a credit card. The claim process is all done online. The issue is when I have to talk to a live person. It's a call center that keeps me when I call in and some of the people there are hard to understand and talk to. They made a lot of excuses. I'd just as soon do it all online but I can't get my money back that way.

    I had to get a dishwasher checked in about three times because there was so much miscommunication. For the refrigerator, I had to wait about eight days to get fixed. The stove was the only one which was taken care of immediately. When United Air Temp came, they quickly fixed everything, and left. They were the only one who did their job well. Whereas with the dishwasher, I had to have three people come in. A plumber also came in for a leaky faucet. He did it, went back, and then, again, it was leaking. So we had to call him again. It's working well now.

    I had a new tenant come in and he noticed all these problems. We had to get all of them fixed. It was pretty frustrating because the technicians would tell us something and put something else in their report there to American Home Shield. So when I called Home Shield, they would say, “No. The technician hasn’t said anything like that.” I've been with American Home Shield for more than seven years and I have my rented property and my personal account with them.

    My claim with American Home Shield was put on for the hot water heater but it turned out to be a leaking valve that was right above it. It was the source of the leak. It was a holiday weekend so we had to wait five days before someone came out. But the contractor asked for a photo of it. I took it and sent it because the person in the office expressed that although their staff was off, if it was bad enough, the owner himself would come out and deal with it. So, that was above and beyond the call of duty. When the person came out Monday morning after life went back to normal a little bit, he did a great job. He was courteous and communicated well.

    I don't like American Home Shield's automated phone system because when I first called, we had two problems to take care of - the air conditioner and the heat. I was trying to let them know that and they turned around and took one thing. Then, I wasn't able to go back and say I had another one. It made me call back again and talk to somebody. It could have been me and maybe I should have done it a different way but it seemed to happen quick when I was talking. Also, I made a call just last week to try to tell them that an issue with the heating system isn't fixed yet and the rep was very hard to understand. I had to really concentrate to follow her when she was trying to ask me. But the contractor, Climate Masters, is coming back out and they're changing a control box.

    Other than that, I like AHS's service. We have the assurance that if something were to go wrong in the house, we have the coverage, which seems to be a great plan for us. It's 100 bucks for each item and I get a service tech who looks at the item and fixes or tries to fix it. And the guys that have come out were very personable.

    I had a kitchen sink leak and I called it as an emergency because I had a couple of inches of standing water underneath my kitchen sink. I had to tell the first lady I spoke with to escalate it. I don't think that she understood the urgency. I was having secondary damage so it was quite urgent to me. I asked her if they could send someone out the same day. They dispatched SAP Services but they couldn't come out the same day so they came the next evening. I turned my water off from the home because I don't have a separate one for the kitchen.

    When the guy came by, I was trying to show him where I thought the leak was coming from. He said it was coming from another area. He tightened something and I asked if he could wait 10 minutes. I wanted to let the water run to see if it was fixed. He said he couldn't but he could wait five minutes. He stayed another five minutes then left. The next morning, it was the same thing. My pot underneath was full and it ran over so I still had standing water underneath the sink. At that point, I was pissed. I called SAP and they said I had to call American Home Shield and go through them. I hung up and called American Home Shield. They called that company and that company said they could not come out that same day. It had to be the next day. I was angry at that time because I had to keep my water off at the house.

    Another gentleman finally came out that next day and his name was Matt. He looked things over and told me where the problem came from. I was very happy. The problem wasn't anything up under the bottom like the first gentleman said. It was a faucet leak. We googled that faucet and I got it from Home Depot. They have a lot of complaints with leaking from it. I could see then, once he showed me, that was where the water was coming from.

    On the initial call, if they could have understood the urgency, that would have been a big help. It seemed like the lady just submitted it without picking up the phone and calling the company. SAP told me, "They have to pick up the phone and call us to see if we can even do a same day." But I've been having American Home Shield for three years and I love them. They're responsive and I trust them. I will definitely recommend them and I've recommended my sister to them.

    We had our water heater go bad about six months ago. We put in another claim to American Home Shield, and the contractor came in and replaced our water heater. About a week ago, we weren't getting hot water the way that we were accustomed to. It was about 30 degrees colder throughout the entire house. So that was when we decided to call and put in a claim. The technician showed up and said it was an issue with the internal thermostat. It’s a brand new water heater. He replaced them and was gone in 20 minutes.

    The gentleman pulled up, climbed out of his truck, put his mask on and put his little tool belt on. I met him in the driveway and explained to him what had happened. He looked at me and said, “Okay, I got this. I'll take care of you. I'll come get you here in a couple minutes when I know the problem, and when I can resolve it.” I didn't really have too much interaction with him because he was in my laundry room, and we were in another room. When he was done, he closed up my laundry room and came up to my front door, and told me everything was fixed and working. He said, “Have a nice day,” and left. He was very professional and very courteous. Since he's been out, everything has been great. I do have another issue, but it's completely unrelated to the work that this technician did. I am having low water temperature in one bathroom instead of my entire house now. We didn't have hot water in the whole house.

    I would tell others that they need to get American Home Shield. We've had to put in a couple of claims throughout our time with them, and they've all been handled very quickly. It was within a day or two. For the exception, my air conditioner had an issue the other day. It was one of those weird things where it fell on a holiday in a weekend, and we had to email. We couldn't get anything until the next Monday or Tuesday. But that one wasn't that big of a deal either. The technician called me. I told him what was happening. He went straight to the air conditioner, did what he had to do, and called me and said it's all done and left.

    I loved Sears. We're high risk. That's why we kind of put the service off. The tech came in, he knew what the problem was without much, and he took everything apart, checked everything, fixed it, put it back together, and he explained what he was doing as he was doing it. He was the nicest guy. His name was Marshall. He was perfect. He was in and out of here and he worked the whole time. It was not like he stopped to get a sandwich or fooled around. He just got it done. It was great.

    I do my claims to American Home Shield online. They have, "Oh, is it this, this, this or this?" for like one appliance, but it's like, "Well, what if it's something different?" You say "Other" but there's nowhere to extrapolate what the other is. Under "Other" there should be, "Can you explain or give us a little more detail?" The guy who comes out is prepared, and if there's parts they need, they can get it. The only complaint is that it's always "Other" with us. Their website is really easy to use. It's just that if I went under appliances and refrigerator, the choices weren't matching what my problem was.

    A year ago, we had someone come out for the water heater, and there was nowhere to say what really the issue was. So the guy came out, figured out what it was, left, came back, left, came back. He was really good too. He was really respectful. It was the beginning of COVID, and he masked up and he was perfect. I'm running behind him with Clorox wipes. He was totally understanding.

    Our garbage disposal quit working and ended up with a hole in the side so it was leaking water. Also, our oven was getting way too hot. For the garbage disposal claim, the service provider got right back to us and made a very timely appointment. For the oven claim, the contractor declined the call because he wasn't available for a few days but nobody told us. So, a few days later, I called American Home Shield back and that's when I was told that he had declined it. I just wish they would have called that they were having trouble getting a contractor. AHS set up the claim again and that just got fixed last week. My wife used it today and texted me saying that she still doesn't think it's working right.

    With my recent claim experience with Reliable Garage Doors, the work was professional and done quickly. I did the claim with a claims rep. I called the 1-800 number. It was great. They took my payment. Then within a day, I had a call from the contractor and we set up a time when I was not working. I was very satisfied. I'd recommend American Home Shield to family and friends.

    The contractor who came for the heating issue was efficient, friendly and prompt. They came out and had to order a part. They told me it may take a few days but it only took two days. They called and said they had the part, and would be back by 11 o'clock. They came back and had it going within an hour, and everything was fine. I’d certainly recommend them and was very pleased with their work.

    I did the claim on the phone. They were very busy and there was a wait time. I first took American Home Shield out 18 years ago and back then, it was a small company. You called and got somebody who answered the phone. They took your information and it was like calling service people down the street. But now, it's a lot bigger and that speaks well of them. The phone service is not as quick as it was years ago but everything grows. If I was more technical-savvy, I could do it over the internet. But I'm not, so I do it over the phone. It's okay. I had built a new house and was in it for a while, and with a builder's warranty, I didn’t take American Home Shield. But when I bought this house here, it was an older home and I took American Home Shield. So, I was pleased with them before which was why I went back to them again.

    The water heater wasn’t working. So the contractor came out and replaced the heating element. The tech was nice. Everything went well. We've had hot water. It seemed to be doing fine the last week. We had a claim before for our ducts and the guy who came out checked it and said that he couldn't do anything about it and that was not what they do.

    The microwave was two years old and was working very well but for some reason, the handle broke. The first company that was sent out didn't solve the problem and American Home Shield closed the claim. It was put in there that it was due to wrong handling or a user problem. I asked them to open a new one for a second opinion and a second company was able to come. They alerted the problem and got a quote for a new handle. They were able to fix it quickly and they provided a good service.

    This is my first year with American Home Shield and this is my first claim with them. They rely more on their contractors than on their customers. That's okay. But the first contractor pointed out that it was my fault so they rejected the claim. That doesn't make sense. These types of situations are what make customers move around companies. But the good thing is that they've solved it after my second request. The second contractor was good, very honest and very prompt.

    I sent in a claim online to fix my ice maker on my refrigerator. The tech showed up one time and said it was just the ice bucket. But to me, that was kind of impossible because it just catches ice. So they came out with the ice bucket, put it on there, and left. I ran ice through it a couple times, and I could tell it came loose again. So I called the tech, left a message and nothing. I left three messages and still nothing. In my messages, I made it pretty plain that this didn't work. I notified American Home Shield and they recommended Clutch Appliance. They came out and fixed something else for me. While the guy was here, he looked at the ice maker for me. He pulled it up, looked at it, and said, "It's not the bucket." He said it was the shaft and he showed it to me, and I totally agreed with him. That's exactly what it was. He then left. It wasn't his responsibility. He had nothing to do with it. But he knew so much and he was so good at it.

    I called American Home Shield and told them that this other company didn’t respond to refix the problem. I wanted Clutch to come out because the tech knows what he's doing. Then they told me that they were gonna have to charge me an extra 100 bucks. I didn't care because I've been without an ice maker for about three months. I paid them another 100 bucks and they sent Clutch back out. The guy came out and he even had the parts with him because he remembered. I didn't ever say anything to him about parts. He walked into the kitchen, took it apart, and put new parts in it. The ice maker has worked perfect ever since. At that time, I was frustrated with American Home Shield. But normally, they do a very good job.

    My experience with JT Services was not bad at all. When the gentleman left, I assumed that everything was fine with the furnace. But a few days later, I'm in the same predicament where my heat is not working at all and to get service again has been this chore. I have paid faithfully my American Home Shield fee every month on time because in times like this, I want to depend on them. But it didn't work. Whatever they did and whatever the gentleman said, it was not working. It worked the first night. The second night, I was leery and then by the weekend, it had just not heated at all.

    I called this past Saturday to report that my furnace was out. I needed someone to come back out. Then Monday, I didn't hear anything which was odd. So when I called on Monday to tell them that I haven't gotten an email, I was hoping I could get someone out. I'm cold and I have been without heat on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Then come to find out, according to what I had been told that the individual did not do something in the system, so my service was not registered to where it would come back out. I called three times and the last person I talked to on the phone was telling me that I needed to talk to a supervisor because I needed a better response. The individual did not let me speak to a supervisor.

    I called back again and the person told me on the line that before I start, he needed to let me know that he would not tolerate profane language and that I used profane words on the last call. So this took it to another level. I hope the calls are recorded. I was upset and had a tone that was so frustrating, but I never used profane language. So to make a long story short, that call didn't go well. I never got a call back. I called back again today and I was told that the same company wasn't going to be out, but another company was coming tomorrow. But I just don't care who will come. I'm cold and my granddaughter is cold. My furnace is still not repaired. I had to turn the stove on to give out a little more heat.

    When I most needed American Home Shield, they didn't come through. I should not be sitting here for these many days. If that customer service rep on Saturday had not dropped the ball, I should have had somebody come to my house by now. I'm positive that their reps have been outsourced. When you do outsource, proper training when talking to an upset customer should be given. There were certain things that could have de-escalated and I wouldn't feel the way I feel about American Home Shield.

    My refrigerator has a water dispenser in the freezer door. It would make ice cubes but it wouldn't make water and dispense it. I called AHS to have someone come out, figure out the problem, resolve it, and go away. The repair company did very well. They kept me in the loop of information about when their employee would be out and gave me a timeframe of when he would be there. He was there according to what their estimate was. He had to order a part. They alerted me that the part was in and what time their gentleman would be out to replace the part. He did so. The refrigerator didn't dispense water immediately. The gentleman had done some due diligence to indicate that the water was running into the water dispenser but it was frozen. I adjusted the temperature in the freezer and 20 minutes later, water was running free and it has been no problem. I'm satisfied.

    AHS has established for me a line of excellent service, which is why I'm still paying my dues and still part of AHS with all the things that are out there now that I could have gone to for services. We don't know each other but the mere fact that I'm still with AHS says everything. I work hard for the money and if somebody isn't doing what they need to be doing for the money, I will drop them like a bad habit. AHS does what it's supposed to do and that's all I need.

    The heat went out and at first the issue was the igniter. But after the tech fixed it, he said that it might be our fan. Then, the heat went out again that same night. I called the company back and they sent someone else out here. He was saying it was the panel to the unit that went out. He also said that if it was the fan, they wouldn't have been able to replace it and they would have had to replace the whole unit. But it was the panel that they had to order a part for to fix the unit and they said they were going to be out here today. Other than that, I called American Home Shield to submit this claim. The heat went out on a Sunday then the contractor called me that Monday and they sent someone out.

    Normally, when the techs come out, they fix the issue right away and the appliance would be good to go. But on this instance, I've been without heat for two weeks and this is the first time that I've had to wait this long to get my heat fixed. My stove is heating up my house. It was 20 something when it first happened, then it's been in the 30s. When I get up in the morning, my house would be 55 degrees when it'd be 30 some degrees outside. I'm having to do weird stuff just to warm up my house and that's crazy. Despite that, I like AHS. They have held up their end of the bargain. But if the issue is more than what it is, the contractor has to get an approval from American Home Shield and I don't know how long that's going to take. However, for this recent claim, I can't say that my experience has been bad and because of the pandemic, it's hard to get parts. I also know that part right there, so I understand.

    I had leakage on the sink. My experience with American Home Shield had been frustrating because the hotline in the Philippines was lying to me. The first plumber that they recommended was lying also. They were saying that our appointment was 8:00 to 12:00. I was sitting here the whole time and then I called the lady after 12 o'clock. She said that our schedule was 3 o'clock now. But no one had called, so I told them not to use them again in the future. Even the lady, when she called the maintenance people, said she was rude to her.

    I called the hotline again. I was just asking the lady to reschedule me since the first plumber canceled me out and was not able to show up. But she was not able to do that. So I asked if she could transfer me to somebody who had the authority to do it. She then said that her supervisor was not available. The supervisor was gonna call back but I ended up waiting for hours.

    The customer service linked to the Philippines kept promising that a supervisor would call. But no one would call me back so I'd call again. It was five times on that day and I was going back and forth. So I ended up calling the cancellation department because I'd rather speak to an American because they would have more comfort in making decisions instead of just taking the calls and making the notation.

    I was. pretty much crying on the phone by the time I got to your cancellation department, twice. I pretty much told the lady in the cancellation department that I’d rather lose my $75 and I wanted my policy to be canceled. But the last lady was able to help me out. She was the one who made the executive decision to reschedule me for another plumber and it was not really hard to reschedule somebody.

    I'm not happy with the hotline. It was not customer service and they would not help. Then when the plumber came in to examine the problem, because the leakage was not visible, he said that it was not really leaking. That was just the pipe that was banging when you turn on the hot water. He told me that it was a code issue and the home warranty wouldn't cover the code issue.

The only thing was that my issue started on Christmas eve and if there was an after hour situation or an emergency number, that would have been better 'cause I literally had to wait four days until United Air Temp could then come out to me.

    When calling American Home Shield for plumbing, they send out Greenway Home Services. The last time, they came out and replaced my hot water heater. Then the manager and I got into an argument about the disposal of the hot water heater. They charged me a bill for over $300 because they had to bring everything up to code as the codes have changed in the hot water heater. I looked it up in the contract and sure enough, it was in there so I didn't argue. Six months later, my pipe burst. I told AHS not to send Greenway again if possible.

    Before, I remember being on the phone for over an hour and 45 minutes on hold with American Home Shield. This last time, I found the whole process a thousand times better, it was just about four rings, and boom, the lady got it. Then, Jaime Avellino Plumbing was able to come out that same day. The guy called me and a couple hours after that, he was here. He's been out here before and he's professional every time. In fact, he remembered me. All that needed to be done was to change the thermostats in the hot water heater.

    Then he told me that the previous company didn’t do anything with it. There was no code. It was already up to code. That really put a bitter taste in my mouth for Greenway. I wanted to try to find the bill because if what he's saying is true, then I'm gonna take Greenway for small claims. I'll get my money back because they charged for something they didn't do. It's just that haven't done finding it yet as I've just been too busy with everything else. I recommend Jaime Avellino Plumbing when people ask me for a plumber.

    I initiated my claims online with AHS and it wasn't difficult. But it's been difficult to have them execute one. The first time I put in a claim, it was about two weeks before the technician arrived. Then, once he arrived, it was another three and a half weeks before he completed the job. The first one we did was a dishwasher problem and they changed the motor in it. And the dishwasher now kind of hangs out from under the sink. Also, every time I'd call AHS, it would cost me 75 bucks. So, I don't want to call them again to have the techs come fix the dishwasher that's not properly mounted. So, that was a little irritating. But other than the fact that they left the dishwasher hanging out, the technicians were professional as far as interaction goes.

    I also included the pool in my warranty and one time, I called AHS about a pump motor that went out. The technician called me within 12 hours and asked me to take pictures of the pump so that he could see what kind it was. Then, he came, listened to the pump, and realized that the pump was just bad. He changed it out in an hour and a half and within 48 hours of me initiating the call, my claim was completed. The guy was professional and I liked that he asked me to take pictures, so when he came, he had some knowledge already.

    Now, I’m in the middle of another one with another claim for the microwave. I initiated it the same way I did with the dishwasher and the same appliance technician came. He looked at it and said that he needed to order a part. He left a note with me that said, “It'll be 1 to 10 days when I get back with you.” But 1 to 10 days is quite a window to get back with me about either a part or whatever he's going to do. The guy told me that COVID created a situation where they had difficulty with parts. I'm was buying that in May, but not in December. To me, that back and forth thing seems unnecessary when we got the technology where you could use a picture like what the pool tech did. Despite that, I haven't had any problem with AHS. Once I call them, they seem to notify me, and send me an email. That communication seems to be sufficient.

He opened up all the pipes. Once he was done with his work, he cleaned everything up and helped put everything back together. He was great. In fact, I'm having issues with my washer and I asked AHS to send the same company. Overall, it was an easy and seamless experience.

    Well, we kept smelling something burning every time we turned the heat on. It was so strong it started to burn our eyes. We had to turn our heat off. It's very cold, we have 2 kids, and pets. We called AHS to get help mind you that we have been paying for! First off the customer service person can barely speak English, after waiting for 1 hr on the phone, the contractor doesn't answer the emails from the company or calls from us. Oh and you have to use their contractor! 3 days no heat now!! They even cashed in our deductible already! If I can do no stars I would! We also had a pipe break in our basement last year. The horrible mess the person who fixed it omg! The rusty metal stained everything. Don't waste your money.

    After a lot of back and forth, they finally paid out a cash reimbursement for my broken furnace. The whole process was a headache and some of the technicians they sent were unprofessional. They only paid out a fraction of the true cost (less than 20%) of replacing the furnace.

    Original Review: Dec. 29, 2020

    The heat stopped working in my house and I put in a claim through AHS. A tech came out and said the damper system needed to be replaced for $1,850, but AHS won't cover that. AHS still charged me $125 for the visit. What's the point of insuring a heating system when they don't cover the functional parts within the heating system? Also, their customer service is awful, with long hold times and unhelpful agents. Also, some of their contractors are sketchy. After several no-show appointments, I asked for a different contractor and AHS told me no and made me use the same one again. If you're buying a house and the seller offers AHS, think twice! It sounds great but they're a headache to work with and when push comes to shove, they'll weasel out of covering anything that breaks.

    UPDATED 1/3/2021: We received an email from Consumer Affairs on 12/30/2020. "My name is Stacy and I am following up with you in regards to your home warranty review on Consumer Affairs. We respond and follow up with customers that post negative reviews on various sites in an effort to resolve customer complaints. Emailing is the best method of contact.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW: On August 23, 2020 we placed a work order with American Home Shield (AHS) for what we assumed to be a simple repair of our dishwasher. It is currently December 29, 2020 and we are still without a working dishwasher. Weekly, we’ve placed phone calls to AHS and were referred to the following departments: Contract Relations, Management, Authorizations, Supervisors, and Escalation, with the promise of a returned phone call by the aforementioned, to no avail. To reiterate, NO ONE has returned our calls or addressed our concerns for the last four months. Sears, the service contractor responsible for repairing our dishwasher, sent service call notes to AHS no less than three times, stating that they are unable to locate the parts necessary to repair our dishwasher, and have recommended replacement of our appliance. We have recorded and logged most phone calls during interactions with AHS with no resolution.

    We have been loyal customers of AHS for over 16 years. After witnessing a drastic decline in the level of customer service and satisfaction, we DO NOT recommend this company and will be taking our business elsewhere. American Home Shield’s customer service has severely deteriorated and is beyond acceptable. I would caution anyone seeking home warranty service to abstain from service with American Home Shield. Do your research and read company reviews; you will quickly learn our experience with American Home Shield is not unique to us.

    We were having two separate issues, the dishwasher and then the ice maker. American Home Shield sent out a technician and he made an initial assessment, ordered some parts and then we called American Home Shield a week later to see what was going on. It looked like the parts came in, so they came out and they fixed the dishwasher. From reporting the problem to the resolution, it took three weeks. Although they closed out the claim saying it was done, it took a little longer. The ice maker was not finished. It didn't work out quite right, so they had to come in a third time for it.

    This was our first claim with American Home Shield and the online submission is great. It was very seamless, but I feel the online goes only so far and then when we talk to the representatives, a majority of them are very hard to understand. It's almost impossible and it can get a little frustrating. First of all, their accent is hard to understand. The second thing is they don't read through their notes. I had to keep calling follow-up for the ice maker and see what was going on, and I have had to repeat the whole problem all over again, over and over. Also, not all of the representatives who are on the call were equal. A few of them were good. They really understood what to do. Some of them had no clue. They said, "Why should you have an ice maker in the house?" It's silly things like that.

    Part of American Home Shield definitely needs some improvement. Whatever third party service they're using to take their calls, there's an issue there. We have a lot of high-end appliances and we don't have many choices in appliance warranty providers because not many of them cover it. American Home Shield is the only one and it's a good insurance for high-end appliances. However, for other appliances (like American-made appliances or the generic ones like GE or Maytag) or if there were other options for me, I would consider calling the other options and figuring out their customer service.

    A representative from American Home Shield, sold me a home warranty insurance plan for a 4-unit rental property. After the rejection of our second service request, we were stunned to discover that AHS wrongfully and knowingly misrepresented a 4-unit property as a single-family home at the time of sale to induce me into a falsified contract with American Home Shield. American Home Shield was fully aware of this property not being a single-family home, as it has provided a Home Warranty plan for this very same property as a 4-plex in the past.

    American Home Shield's representative, knowingly and willfully did not act in good faith, which is of the utmost importance in any contract. Under the Federal False Claims Act, the contract clearly violates the consumer protection law. Our repeated attempts requesting from American Home Shield to correct its serious misrepresentation of our property to allow for the rejection of service claims have been ignored. As a result we suffered substantial financial loss on our business, while our tenants have been subjected to excessive hardship.

    You wait on the line a lot for the reps. It’s more time consuming to get somebody. It’s not like when you call up a service yourself and get somebody out right away. But if people are willing to do that and they've got the time, then AHS looks great. Everybody’s very nice. Recently, MC2 Appliance Service did a great job. They came out on time the first time. The washing machine wouldn't fill with water and they got it fixed. Then the beeper went off. We saw a little water on the floor so we called them again and they came out. It's in a condo and he said, “I don't think it's the washing machine. I think it's the dryer." They made another request and in order to get a full picture, he needed to diagnose both the washer and the dryer because they're connected.

They decided to replace my dishwasher but it was 20 something days before I heard from them. I called five times and nobody seemed to know what was going on. AHS dropped the ball in that area. It was kind of frustrating because I had a house full of company. So no dishwasher and only one burner on my stove was working, but we got through it.

    The gentleman that came out for the toilet solved the problem and repaired it. We're very happy with that experience. But I'm very disappointed with the backlog at American Home Shield. We had a claim with the dryer that we submitted on December 19th. Here it is today's date and it hasn't been resolved yet. When I talked to the lady at the vendor, she said that the purchasing department has a backlog for the part. It hasn't even been able to look at my case. So that means to me, a tremendous backlog and staffing at the purchasing department of American Home Shield. Meanwhile, our family has been without a dryer for all that time.

    Usually, if a 13-year old dryer goes out and the part is not available, the process is that you get some sort of value from a check for replacement under the warranty. That was what happened with our refrigerator. When I call to get status, it's a tremendous wait time to be put on hold to talk to a person. So I'm not pleased with American Home Shield headquarters. But I was very pleased with the local vendor that I deal with because she calls me with updates to keep me informed. In general, with all of our other claims, American Home Shield has been very responsive. This particular claim with the dryer is more of an exception.

    AHS is not a bad service, but sometimes you get bad people that don't help follow up with people. You trust them to do their job, and then before you know it, it'd be a month passed, and then you stop paying the bill because sometimes you forget. I'm a nurse and I work crazy hours.

    It was the first time I've ever had to use American Home Shield and my experience was horrific. I felt secure and safe that if something happened, I wouldn't have to worry about it but the stress has been unbelievable. I have talked to nine different people about this whole situation that we had to wind up getting another serviceman out here on Monday. If he comes out and says it's the same thing, I have to pay the $125 and American Home Shield still won't fix it. They would not let me have a copy of the report. If I pay American Home Shield, why can't I get a copy it? American Home Shield said I have to get the report from Chesapeake Appliance Repair but Chesapeake said they don't give the report.

    I also had problems with understanding the reps because they outsource a lot and it goes to India, Manila and everywhere else. There is a law that states that if I wanted to have the call transferred back over to the United States, they should be able to do that but they weren't able to do it. They’re reading from script. I've had American Home Shield for seven to eight years and I'm ready to drop them. That's how bad it was.

    The gentleman wrote excessive pot boiling over on my stove so AHS denied my claim to even fix the stove. But he never took the pieces off and he said he couldn't get them off. After he left, I called my daughter. She had me record it which I'm glad I did to prove that I took them off. They promised me they were going to review it within 24 hours when I called back after two and a half days. Then it was a whole different story. They don't review it. They did send another repairman out and he took the burner off. I asked, “Can you tell by the burner?” He said, “There’s rust but you can't tell because there's no rust underneath on the other side."

    I would never recommend American Home Shield to anyone. They make you stay on the phone while they get in contact with somebody. The people they’re supposed to get in contact with didn't call me and never returned my phone call for my electrical claim. That was on the 3rd that I called them. I had to call three or four people. They didn't show up so I took care of it but I hadn't been refunded my money yet.

    American Home Shield had someone out here quick and the guy seemed like he knew what he was doing. He didn't leave a mess behind and his attitude was good with me as far as how he did his job and presented himself. Also, doing the claim online was easy. It went through and I didn't have any glitches or problems with that. With my experience in the past, I had to call the 1-800 number and go through all these options in their automated system and talk to somebody. If I could dial someone direct, it would be a nice option to have. I could talk to somebody and say, “Hey, I got a problem with my water heater.” “Okay, we'll send somebody out.” It’s a lot simpler to do it online, so I approve with that.

    We have a property management company that would like to send their vendors in to do things, but because we have American Home Shield, we prefer not to do that. I was a little uncertain because I have had a couple of experiences in the past where it took a while to get a vendor. Prior to having the unit leased, we had a relative living there and I had a bad experience where the air conditioning was not functioning. The repairperson that American Home Shield engaged did not know how to make the repair. The person was simply incompetent. I've had some experience with air conditioning and I know that it was a very simple repair. The long and short of it was that he left without making the repair and then it took a week to get another AC repairer there.

    Our relative who was living in the unit had some health issues, which were made worse by the fact that she didn't have air conditioning for a week. I was upset about that. It should not have taken a week for a competent repairperson to be arranged. That's in the past, but I was a little skeptical whether our tenants’ needs would be taken care of rapidly because of that. However, when the unit had had a leak, I was pleased with the way it was handled by American Home Shield and the plumber that they engaged to do the repair. It was a prompt response and I was glad of that. It's important for us that our tenants' needs get met rapidly and indeed they were. So all is good now.

    Apart from one unsatisfactory experience, I'm satisfied. We have two sons who also have warranties with American Home Shield, and they've had reasonably good experience as well, so the operation is satisfactory. I have also had a very good experience when American Home Shield has engaged Total Air Care, not only for this property we have now, but also for the residence we were living in before. Total Air Care does a good job. They're also a large operation that has offices in many, many cities, so I'm putting a plug for them and would encourage American Home Shield to use Total Air Care.

    Submitting a claim with American Home Shield was a pain in the butt. Standlee came out and they were horrible. They said that our whole AC unit was shot and we were going to need another one. The company wanted to charge us $3,800. I wanted to pay the money because I was cold but my husband said that something didn't add up. How did they know it was going to cost $3,800 before they even sent in the quote to American Home Shield? It was weird. Standlee was trying to take us for a ride.

    We wanted a second opinion but American Home Shield didn't want one. We kept getting the runaround from them. Finally, we just said to have JW come look at the unit. Once American Home Shield approved JW to come, things got a lot better. JW was fine and was a lot faster. Their guy came and he said he couldn't do anything because he was only there for a second opinion. But he was going to submit the paperwork. That was a Friday. He was back at our house Tuesday morning. He fixed our unit and we now have heat.

    What could be improved with American Home Shield is when they tell you they're gonna call you back, they should call you back especially if you have been calling them every day for two to three weeks. We would ask to speak to a supervisor and customer service would tell us that it would be 24 before one could call us. But we never even got a call back from a supervisor. Customer service would also tell us that it would be 24 hours before they could get the request for a second opinion. We would never get a callback so we always had to call them back. The service was bad. If I'm paying for something, I expect that much respect to at least get the call back when they tell you they're going to keep in contact with you.

I also have two appliance claims. One was for our built-in microwave that was not heating the food. Then there was an oven that was making this alert sound. It was the timer sound when the timer is off and it was going on nonstop. I reported those issues to American Home Shield and they got fixed. The process was very easy. I entered it online, requested for a service, and then I promptly gave a feedback message saying somebody would call me for an appointment. They followed that up and then the technician came, checked and gave us feedback that there was a part that was needed to be replaced. So he said they would come back with the part, which he did after three weeks.

    I first called the Home Shield number, and they made the connection for me and so forth. I waited a week before the appliance contacted me. But that was this time. It took them three separate times but we finally got the problem fixed, because it seems to be working okay now. Sometimes you don't have your opportunity to choose who you might want to fix it. The place was fine once they got there, but I can't say I was satisfied with the length of time. I'm glad it was something on my washer where I could still use my washer.

    I have American Home Shield on the property in Texas. I also have it on the property in California. I'm in the process of purchasing another property in Texas that I'll be adding American Home Shield on to. The claim for the heater in the property in Texas was resolved but it took a little while to get it up and running. It was during the holidays and it gets really cold there. They were waiting for a part that the contractor needed in order to fix it and I kept calling them finding out what was the status.

    When I had originally put the claim in, it was for them to check the heater. Then, another claim went in for them to come back out and fix it. I got a notification that they had come out and asked what was my take on it. But after I talked to the tenants in the house, the contractor had never come out that second time. They had only come out the first time and they found out what the problem was. But I was happy that the tenants finally got heat because they have two three-year-olds and a nine-year-old in the house. I'm in California and I went down there to Texas to see for myself. The house was freezing so I bought them some portable heaters to try to keep them warm.

    3 Boys Appliance Repair came out for both the dryer and oven. For the oven, they came out, diagnosed the problem, and told me they had to order the part. Then I found out that the part was no longer available and that Home Shield sent me an email, giving me an option of doing Home Shield replacement or customer reimbursement. So, I chose the Home Shield replacement. Then I got another email saying that it was going to be customer replacement, which meant that I had to go out and find an oven and pray that there were some available in stock. I found one and I paid for it. And I had a contractor come out and put it in.

    Home Shield told me the things that I needed to send in to them to make sure that I could be reimbursed, so I did that. I had all of my paperwork, my receipt, and the oven warranty manufacturer warranty. I faxed it to them, and I also mailed it the next day. Yesterday, I called to check to make sure that they received it, being holiday time and the mail was running helter-skelter. I was informed that they received my forms and that a check had been mailed out Tuesday for reimbursement.

    The most recent one was last Friday. It was the dryer. It wouldn't dry the clothes. I was able to make an appointment right away. Being the holidays, I had to wait a week before they could come out. But when they came out, service was good. And they fixed the problem within 20 minutes. Everything is working good.

    I don't like American Home Shield at all and I've had nothing but trouble throughout this whole time. I’ve had them since February, I really don’t care for them. My issue started when I needed my air conditioner fixed. I called the lady and told her that the AC wasn't working on either side of my house. She had the people come out. When the people got there, they said that they could only fix one of the units because I had two. I didn't even know I had two units at that time and so it was this big blow. I had to pay what they were trying to make me pay them, $75, just to come back out to fix the same issue. They said had I put in the request that I had two units, they would have fixed it.

    They added Freon to my unit and that ended up being $100 something to one unit. Then on the other unit, they told me that the coil and the other thing was faulty. They weren’t gonna replace the coil unless I filled up the AC with Freon. But apparently, if I fill it up with Freon, the leak was so bad to a point it was gonna come out anyway and I was gonna have to keep paying $100. So basically, I just needed a new AC on the other side of the house. But of course, I didn’t want to fix it until I put in all that money on the Freon, which I didn’t want to do, so that really ticked me off. I just moved into the house and had no idea that this stuff was wrong. It was a foreclosed home so even though I had an inspection, it was only certain things.

    Then the people before me burnt something on the stove that’s why there’s a huge burn mark sitting there on my cooktop. American Home Shield won’t replace that because they said it was cosmetic. My food burned. One company was supposed to come and fix it back in October. I had called American Home Shield to follow up with them, and someone contacted them, and then they contacted me back. Now, they’re coming tomorrow. I have no idea why it took so long. However, with my recent claim, five of the toilets didn’t flush correctly. Myers Comfort Specialists were sent out. There was something wrong in each one of them and the guy wrote it down on a piece of paper. He said that the people who have done the toilets probably did it wrong. Myers fixed it all. Overall, it’s frustrating when I'm paying for American Home Shield and I have these issues.

    The contractor came out and checked the faucet. They realized it was leaking. They were going to have to replace it. They thought they had the part on the truck but they didn't so they had to order it. Then they kind of troubleshot the hot water heater and they wanted me to do a couple of things with it first before they decided it could be the hot water heater. I did and they checked it again. It ended up being the hot water heater so they replaced it.

    I have one incident and I'm working with AHS right now about their coordination on renewals. It's yet to be resolved. I had called on another issue and I talked to an agent at that time. I ended up making a decision to renew my policy early which they allowed for a discount. That was great. Because I was getting a discount, I added my pool to be covered which brought the price right back up to the original renewal price. This was in July of 2019 and it wouldn't renew until February of 2020. As we got closer to that date, I got renewal notices and phone calls about it's coming due. I finally contacted them early January and said I'd already set this up to be renewed come February. The person on the phone said everything was good. Come the 27th of January, I got a phone call from somebody else saying I needed to renew the policy. I called them back and explained it. They said everything was good to go. Come February, it renewed.

    I was looking at my policy to renew it and it doesn't include my pool. I contacted them a couple of days ago and told them I paid a premium for the policy to include my pool. They were checking on it and after a few discussions back and forth, they found out that they charged me the price with the pool but they never included my pool on that year's policy from February 2020 to February 2021. I asked, "What are we going to do?" They said they couldn't do anything but they suggested I dispute with their folks over in retention. That took a couple of days to make it happen and a couple of phone calls.

    They finally called me back this morning and the gentleman there tried to explain otherwise. I told him, "No, that's not true. Look at your notes." I gave him the dates. I said, "The pool was never included. You have two options - you can either give me the $120 or $200 deduction of this current one and keep my policy as is. Or you can add my pool to this year with no extra charge since you charged me for it a year ago, but you never gave it to me." They were going to call sales because they said sales can do it. They have yet to get back to me and that was two hours ago or so.

    There was a lot of miscommunication. They do take notes but they don't always look deep enough. They don't check it when it comes to renewal. They just do it automatically which is fine. I understand a computer generating something on a renewal. But when they made the phone call, that meant that the person who called me back in January of last year didn't look at the notes or see anything before making the phone call to try to get me to renew. They can improve on that. But I'm happy with AHS. Once I put in the problem, we had a call the next morning. It was quick. The tech that they had come out was a real good guy. He made sure that they replaced my hot water heater with the same brand hot water heater which was an upper end. Had he not advocated for me, an inferior product would have been replaced.

    We had a claim to American Home Shield for the icemaker. Submitting that claim was excellent. The repair people did come a few times because they had to order the parts but at the end, we were very happy. It took time to get the part, but they did follow up. They stayed on top of it, and then they fixed it. They were very good and very professional. We also had a small issue with the microwave, and the service on that was done very nicely too. We were very impressed with American Home Shield, and we recommended at least half a dozen people to join.

    Since we bought a new house, there were some things in the house that we're concerned, which is why we want the home warranty. And since then, we've had to replace the washer and dryer. The experience was fine. The technician American Home Shield sent over was fantastic, courteous, very knowledgeable, great to deal with, etc. My only complaint is sometimes, getting through to them on the phone, it's common to be on hold for half an hour to 45 minutes. But once you get through and you put in the claim and have a technician come over, it's fantastic. Also, the selection of replacements was fairly limited. And I had to go out and buy and have it installed myself. It ended up costing me 300 bucks out of pocket. Again, very positive. I gotta them a break because there are a lot of things that are in short supply because of COVID. AHS is not perfect, but it's well worth it.

    American Home Shield first issued my claim to a company that was an hour and a half away from me. Then, instead of just transferring me to a new company, I had to have a new work order put in, which was another delay and another charge. I had to wait another 48 hours for the work order to go through and for another company to be assigned. And I'm still waiting for the refund of the first service fee. But the contractor who came out has been wonderful. The gentleman from Air & Water Solutions came in a timely manner and assessed the problem. The service is not complete because they had to order the unit, which will arrive for pick-up on the 31st of December.

    Also, I asked AHS originally if they could do Air & Water Solutions because they have been to my house before, but AHS would not do that because that company was not "in the queue." They have an order of who they contact so that the same person doesn't get contacted all the time. However, it needs to be addressed that AHS can't just assign some company that is an hour and a half away because they're next in the queue.

    I had a terrible call with American Home Shield because I was quite ticked off. I asked to talk to a supervisor and the last person I talked to said, “Well, it doesn't work this way.” I've been without heat for 10 days now. I am so unhappy. The initial call was on the 19th. Koning Mechanical came out and replaced the thermal coupler. The unit ran and then there was a problem immediately. There was still something not right with the unit. I called the technician that was out here to talk to him almost within a few hours and then I called American Home Shield. They said, “Well, we have to wait till the paper comes in. And we really can't do anything right now.” So still, that was a problem.

    I kept calling and calling the next day and the gentleman from Koning that did the initial work sent me a text saying he was on vacation for Thanksgiving for next week. American Home Shield needed to get a new company to come out. I had to make a couple of calls and then they finally called another company called Climate Masters to come out. The guy came out on the 21st and he looked it over. He told me they had to clean the baffles and he would try to be back before the day before Christmas. I didn't have any heat and he said he just had to wait to hear back from American Home Shield. The next day I called him, and he said he hadn't heard anything. I called American Home Shield, and they said they haven't had his report back, so they couldn't okay anything.

    I said, “Okay” and the next day went by. I called again. I said, “What the heck is going on?” The lady named Diane said, “Well, the problem is they have to get authorization now because they're replacing the unit.” I said, “Well, the guy said he had to just clean the baffles out. It would take about three hours.” She said, “Well, no. They just gonna replace it and they need authorization.” I said, “Oh jeez. Okay.” I knew I was not gonna have no heat for Christmas. Another day went and I knew it was Christmas. I was not gonna be crazy about that. I have a very large house and I have eight heaters running right now. I called today to say, “What's going on?” and the person I talked to said they were waiting for the report.

    I've called so many times, and every time, they were waiting for the report. Now, I called them and went crazy. She told me the same thing the person told me the day before, “We're going to escalate this. I’m escalating it, we're going to find out what's going on. And we're going to get this taken care of.” In the meantime, all of this on Christmas at 3 o'clock in the morning, one of the radiators out in the hallway that goes upstairs froze and cracked. Water was going everywhere, flooding the house and raining on the wall. I called and they still had no answer for me. I don't know anything and that's the point.

    What I thought was a leak turned out to be a small puncture in the sink and it's a stainless steel sink. All I did was I filled the sink up when we had first got here to soak some dishes, and it seemed fine. Then a couple of days later, I did the same thing, and then I woke up in the morning, and the sink was empty and the floor was a little bit wet. I looked under the sink. I came to find out it's a pinhole in the stainless steel sink, which my brain would have told me, "They sell that stuff that fixes gas tanks and stuff and it's a quick fix." But what happened was I said, "Let me use my insurance because that's what it's there for." So, I called American Home Shield. It did cost me 75 bucks. 1st American Plumbing came out. What I really appreciated about the service was the speed at which they acted. They came within a day or two. The guy came in with a flashlight in his forehead, and he quickly identified the problem.

    I did a claim for two faucets. One was in the bathroom and the other was in the kitchen. The repair guy who came was nice and pleasant. He did an excellent job when he came out and replaced the one in the kitchen. In the bathroom though, there are two faucets and the one that's broken doesn't match the other one. When he went to the bathroom, he said, "Yeah, that's broken." Unfortunately, he couldn't find one that matches, so what he had to do was go out and buy two of them. In order to match the faucets, I've got to pay $165 for the repair guy to change the other one after I already paid the 75. I didn't think that's fair and that made me not very happy.

    This happened a couple of days before New Year's. The repair guy asked me when he could come back over, and I was going to call to ask American Home Shield what they were going to do about it before I answered him.

    Amtec came to service both my refrigerator and my dishwasher. A tech came on New Year's eve to replace the compressor in the refrigerator. He is still supposed to come out and bring the part for the ice maker. The installer was installed Monday of this week. Before, the tech spoke Russian and he couldn't communicate with us. That was not acceptable to me. This past time, the techs have both been able to speak English very well.

    We had to contact the CEO because everything was very slow. It was disappointing that we had to go without a dishwasher for three months and a refrigerator for over a month. American Home Shield finally gave us an option to order a new dishwasher after they said they had to order five parts to repair our unit which was ridiculous. It was eight choices to select a dishwasher but seven choices were not available. It was only one choice that we had which was the one most recommended by Home Shield. It was probably the most antiquated but it washes my dishes completely.

    Water was leaking down into my kitchen. The tech opened up the wall around the sprinkler where the water was coming into the kitchen then opened the wall behind the washing machine, which is upstairs, and he fixed the plumbing. But now, I have a hole in my kitchen and a hole behind the washing machine. He said that I would get a call from somebody to repair that but I would have to paint it myself. That happened before Christmas.

    The vendor that AHS used was Premier Plumbing and they screwed up. I had a plumbing leak in my bathroom upstairs. They installed a faucet that doesn't even match the one I have. There's a stopper thing that goes behind the faucet and you can just pull the thing all the way out. It doesn't even stop anything. The guy had to push holes in it because he said it came from the factory with dirt in it, which was a lie because they probably used something that they have from somebody else's house. When I turned the water on to the right, the water that trickled out was cold. They have come in here and screw things up. But I don't even want Premier Plumbing coming back into my house ever again.

    AHS was recommended to me. I had Sears and another company before. AHS has been the worst company that I've ever dealt with. If I call them and I have two or three claims on one call, one of the claims is dropped off. And when I had somebody come and fix my stove, he ordered the wrong part. He tried to fix the stove using that wrong part and gas was leaking in my house. Techs had to come back because of that. It took months to fix that.

    I'm also still waiting for parts for my refrigerator and freezer. That was a totally separate call. I'm waiting for the hose for my dishwasher too but I have already gotten a survey to close the ticket so I don't know if the claim is closed or open. I called a lady and asked her if it was listed in there that they still had something that they needed to fix. She said she was gonna call me back but she never did. I'm assuming that we're still waiting on the part because the guy said the part was on backorder.

    When we need American Home Shield, they're there. When filing a claim, it's pretty easy if we have our American Home Shield number, but if we don't have it handy, then it could be a little cumbersome to find it and get going. Pro-Tec came out a couple weeks prior because the toilet overflowed in our home. There wasn't anything they had to do at that point because the guy couldn't come up with the root cause of why the toilet overflowed. They were such great and nice guys, conversational-wise, to work with.

    Recently, there was a blockage in a pipe that caused the airway to suck water from the dishwasher through the plumbing system from the garbage disposal. It was kinda cumbersome because, at first, we thought it was something wrong with the dishwasher but weren't sure as water was just sitting in there. I didn't wanna flood in here because the water was coming out of the dishwasher. That was what I was most concerned with because I couldn't mess up my hardwood floors. But then we noticed the garbage disposal wasn't turning or working at all.

    When we tried to explain what the issue was initially and to request Pro-Tec Plumbing to come out just for their customer service and rapport being out here the first time, there was a little bit of a language barrier to understand exactly what was going on and why we wanted Pro-Tec. Trying to explain that was difficult. American Home Shield wanted to send Sears out to fix the dishwasher and we kept saying that we think the dishwasher works, but it's more so the garbage disposal and the pool through the pipes. After 30 minutes of talking, the girl said to get Pro-Tec out.

    When the guy from Pro-Tec Plumbing came, the first thing he did was to take out some type of ventilation thing that sucks the water through the pipes. It was totally clogged and nasty and stuff. Once he mitigated that, he was able to understand that when he turned on the dishwasher, the garbage disposal was not cooling and functioning as it should. It ended up replacing that garbage disposal as well. Once he was able to do that, the functionality of the pool through the pipes ended up working in the kitchen sink.

    American Home Shield has quality service and I'm glad I have it. They always respond in a timely manner for any of the needs that we've had over the last few years. They have really good access too. They get really busy because of our 2020 environment but they are always available. Sometimes it takes a little while to get in, but many times, it's within a few minutes. I usually use my online account if I need services sometime. The only thing that I've noticed is that there's quite a bit of downtime. For example, when you get an appliance repair approved, to get reimbursed, that seems to be a little bit slower than the rest of their implementation. That's probably because of the number of claims they get. I'm still waiting for a check for a replacement stove on a rental property. I just put a new stove in too.

    I have talked to my friends that have income properties and told them that for single houses, American Home Shield is a really good asset to have to back up. With houses getting old, your infrastructure and your heating systems start wearing out. They're not designed to last nowadays.

    I'm not happy with the new system. When you put in your claim or you try to get your approval number, it should be easier. Filing a claim has gotten more difficult than it was at first. We used to just make a phone call. This last time, I tried to make a phone call and it said to do it online. I tried to do it online and nothing worked right. Finally, I called the billing department because I figured if there's one thing they're going to answer about, it's their money. I did get a live person who then helped.

    I'm disgruntled about this new way of getting Attwoods out here. I called them myself and I don't remember doing that before. I got the number over the phone and made the appointment myself. In the past, AHS made the appointment and Attwoods called us. But the technicians from Attwoods are fine. They've been here about four times and they're always pleasant and professional. They're usually on time and they seem to know what they're doing.

    I called AHS to file a claim and set up an appointment. I told them what the problem was and then they had these people call me and they were out the next day. The tech that came out was very professional and nice. He had to go up in the attic and take care of everything. He was great. Overall, I'm very pleased with AHS. It's been a perfect experience.

    The air was blowing out cold then the furnace went completely off. I submitted a claim with AHS and when the tech they sent out checked the thermostat, there was a piece that was bent. He quickly unbent it, fixed the piece, and placed it back up there. He told me what to do operationally, including when changing the batteries, and he did really well. On the same week, I also used AHS when we had a water leak. The techs had to come and cap off the pipes. All in all, my experience with AHS has been pretty swift. But they don't have any emergency services and I really don't like that. If I were to call another plumber, they can come ASAP if you make a call to their emergency line. With the situation of the water leaking, I had to call the fire department because I live in a rural area. And they had to come and shut off the water until the person got there the next day. But I didn't have to wait two or three days.

    Other than that, my very first experience with AHS was not as fun. It had something to do with the washer and dryer and they sent out a tech who said it was an electricity issue. But when I bought this house, I knew for a fact that the guy that did the inspection said that there was nothing wrong with anything electrical in this house. AHS then sent out an electrician and he said that the problem was not the electricity, it was the washer and dryer. So, AHS sent the tech back out and he confirmed that. He then had to wait for parts and that was not fun for me because I didn't have a dryer for two and a half weeks. But for the most part, my experience with AHS was good.

    The HVAC wasn't blowing out heat. I submitted a claim online and a young lady called me from J&K on what the problem was. I told her stuff and she said that I put in the wrong information and that I needed to call AHS back. I called them back and that's when AHS corrected my mistake. I liked the techs they sent out.

    The AC wasn't heating and the thing was just running constantly. The service guy from Best HVAC took the thermostat thing apart. There was a problem with that and there was also a problem with the filters in there that were too heavy. He got it all taken care of. He knew what he was doing and it seems to be running really well now. He was very professional and very careful about everything. AHS is very responsive and I've been really pleased. We bought the house and weren’t aware of some of the problems. They've taken care of them and they've been really good about it.

    I've had a good with American Home Shield. My downstairs heat wasn't coming through. American Home Shield sent me an email saying who would be coming out for the service and when they were coming. The techs came and looked at everything. They reconnected one of the wires that was loose on the control panel for the heating. Everything's working fine now.

    Going through all the telephone prompts before you get to talk to a real person rather than a computer is absolutely awful, especially if you use a plural. Two of my toilets are out and the computer simply said toilet. When the repair people eventually called to make an appointment, I said there are two toilets that are leaking at the same time, and they said, "We've only got a work order for one."

    I had to call back, start back over, and then explain that I asked for two toilets. It took almost half an hour and over two days to say the right word to a real human being because it would only compute as one toilet. I had to do a separate work order. Once the people came out to fix them, everything was fine. Now, one of the toilets is working fine, while the other one seems to be leaking a little and they said they were going to come back out.

    All in all, American Home Shield should get their computer fixed and have people on the other end that can speak English. Everybody has been very nice and respectful, but when people can't speak English well, they try and overtalk you from a script rather than listening to what you have to say. When you call Verizon or somebody else to get some help, you go through maddening prompts before you ever get to talk to a human being. That's where we are with Home Shield as well.

    I’ve got good service with AHS. Every time I call, usually, the contractor will come out the next day or the day after. I did request some people to come over. There’s one contractor I really like to have. Bill is the owner and he’s great. Some of them have been good to me but they didn’t wanna come that early. With the last claim, the contractor wanted for me to wait after Thanksgiving which was about two weeks. I called back and the rep got me somebody right away.

    When the Sears repairman came out, he found out that he couldn’t fix the ice maker. There was a valve that was short. He tried to call to see if he could get the part but he couldn't, so he said they would have to call me back to see if they could order from another distributor. Within three days, I got an email from American Home Shield, stating that they were going to replace the refrigerator, instead of trying to fix it because they couldn't find the part. They looked up the same kind of refrigerator I had, a Whirlpool with the same options on it. It was black, stainless steel. They also told me that if I didn't want that one, they would give me $2,173 on a card, and I could go to Lowe's and buy it with that card. Or else, I could buy it outright, send them the paperwork, and they would pay me the difference up to that amount.

    They were giving me a very, very fair deal. So, my wife and I took the black stainless steel, and they said within two or three days, it'll be shipped to me. I'm looking to get it next week. The whole process with their associates was really outstanding. American Home Shield tried to do this claim with Whirlpool company instead of Sears. But Whirlpool did not do the job that they were supposed to do. You couldn’t get them on the phone to set up appointments at times that someone came out. I'd be on the phone with them 30 or 40 minutes. Whirlpool Corporation was really slow on the job. So American Home Shield should drop Whirlpool and go with Sears.

    If anything breaks, all I have to do is go online and just put in what's going on. Usually, the turnaround time is very quick. Recently, the microwave was out. Unitech Appliance had to come out twice. The first time only lasted for a day and then they had to order me a part. The part came in about three days. It was a very fast turnaround. The same guy came back out. He was very professional, explained what he was doing, and explained what we need to look for in case that happens again. He replaced it and it took him less than 10 minutes.

    I had Old Republic for over 20 years but I decided to change providers because I'm putting the property into a renter status and I wanted to make sure the appliances and all of that stuff were taken care of. A friend of mine has American Home Shield and she was adamant that they were good so I decided to switch. My first experience with calling AHS was for a plumbing claim and trying to get someone to come to my home was horrible. It took three different times for their person to come and then I had to ask for a second sub to come to my home. One of the claims I have right now is a pipe leak and the plumber who came out said he doesn't see a leak, although we see all the water, so there was nothing he could do. He told me I have 30 days to call him back if I see the leak. I'm just gonna pay a plumber to change the whole pipe. AHS has poor subcontractors.
