    I've always gotten good service with American Home Shield ever since we've had them. They've replaced my microwave, oven and air conditioning unit, and I have no complaints. Whenever I call them, within 24 hours, I get a response, and customer service is outstanding. Recently, I did a claim by phone and gave them my account number. They asked me what was broken, and I told them my air conditioner was blowing hot air.

    The rep looked it up and told me what I had to pay, which was $75. She asked me if I wanted to pay that then, and I said yes. She gave me Advanced Air's number as well as the contract number. They called me then we set up a meeting, and everything went well. The technician was courteous and professional. He said the thermostat on the wall where we control our air was bad, so he said he was gonna let American Home Shield know to order one. He did good, but I haven’t heard anything from the home warranty company. I have to call them sometime today and tell them about putting in an order for one.

    We had an issue with our garbage disposal. We filled out a service request online and we got a phone call the next morning. A plumber came out at a time that was convenient for us and it ended up being a good situation for us. The tech got out the disposal, looked at it, and replaced it. AHS is beneficial and it's always good to have. We own a couple of rental properties and we have the home insurance on those as well.

    I had a garage door problem a while back, which never got fixed. So, I wound up doing that myself. The people who American Home Shield contacted for the microwave couldn't get the part. But I couldn't get ahold of the people because they had an answering machine. And AHS talked about, "If you ordered a part, we'll get in contact as soon as the part comes in." That has been since April. Never heard from AHS or anybody. I already contacted AHS a couple of times. They said they would contact. I say there was no reason to because the contractor will not to answer. AHS emailed them, supposedly to send out another person, but I have never seen another person either.

    The problem with the garage door is totally fixed and the repairman did a very good job. We had a garage door opener which was not very expensive and he had a very high-end garage door opener. He did not get approval from American Home Shield's side whether he should put that on the door. In spite of that, he went ahead and installed that one. Then they started sending the invoice to me. I had to call up American Home Shield to ask what was happening and why were they sending all the bills to me. American Home Shield worked with the contractor and got it settled. Right before that one, I had another claim that was awful. I placed a request and a person came and said that it was not covered. But all other requests were serviced.

    I've been with American Home Shield for quite a while. When the techs got there and looked at the water heater for my recent claim, the techs discovered that it had a leak. It's working fine now. The only problem I had was when the plumbers were coming out of the attic with the water heater, the weight of the water heater and the gentlemen broke my stairwell at the bottom. They told me I would have to call American Home Shield. But American Home Shield said that they would not warranty that. I almost canceled my policy after being there for 12 years because the way the lady said it, I didn't like it. The lady started reading to me all this stuff and I could barely understand her English.

    I've been using AHS for 10 years. Most of the time, the experience has been very good. When it's a small deal, like, a plumber doing a toilet, they can do it within a day or two. The only hassle we really had was when I had to get a furnace in the middle of summer. One of their people couldn't understand why we have to have the fan on the furnace to circulate the air conditioner. We were a week and a half for that. But everything else has been in a timely manner.

    The pool motor wouldn't turn on and Expert Pools was sent. There was a flap that was broken on the intake of the pool, where the water gets sucked in. It wasn't pulling water in and so the unit wasn't getting fed water and it shut down. They made the flap go down and water started flowing and it started working again. American Home Shield has been pretty responsive and the people that we've had come out to the house have been very helpful and effective in diagnosing the problem and getting it fixed quickly.

    Everything's great with American Home Shield. I've done claims both online and over the phone and the process is simple and easy. Usually, someone comes out after a day or two. We had one that knew exactly what the problem was and fixed it really quickly. But I had a plumber one time that tried to make me buy brand-new toilets. I got a second opinion and American Home Shield got somebody else. The next guy fixed the issue right away. This home warranty is worth it. The surprise of extra costs could be extremely expensive but with the home warranty, I only have to pay my $75.

    We had our dishwasher repaired and AHS took out the $125 service fee from my credit card. But when the vendor showed up, he asked my wife for a $125 check and she was not aware of the previous payment. I tried to get AHS to take care of that and my account still hasn't been refunded. And that was in April. Other than that, I just got my dishwasher replaced when it broke again, so I'm very happy with that. They gave us a variety of different options, none of which we were happy with, so we took the cash option, picked one ourselves, and just paid a little extra for it. All in all, the warranty is worth it because over the years we've had it, it has been a blessing to be able to get stuff replaced and repaired without a problem.

    My air conditioning unit wasn't cooling. It's the second time that we put in for it over the last three years. The first time American Home Shield sent someone out, they did was put Freon in the unit. But the contractors told us, “Hey, your coil is bad.” But they put the Freon in. We had to pay American Home Shield $100 for the inspection fee. Then we had to pay an additional $600 for the Freon that AHS didn't cover. So that was a band-aid on the problem.

    This year, the same thing happened. We paid another $100 for the inspection. The contractor came out, told us and AHS the same thing. “Hey, your coil is bad. We can put Freon in it, but you'll need a new coil.” AHS said, “Yup, you need a new coil. We're gonna pay $750 to replace the coil, and you guys have to pay $2,257.” It was mind-boggling.

    I understand all the fine print and what they pay and don't. They suckered me, but that's fine. But the nightmare was my repeated phone calls started on August 29th through whatever Sunday's date was this past Sunday. I made at least 23 phone calls to AHS. And each time I called, they said someone would call me back in 24 hours. This is after we have paid out of our pocket to have our air conditioner repaired.

    AHS offered to pay us $390 on a covered repair that's over $2,100. If I got to pay $2,000, I'd rather do it myself. So we ended up having the same work done for $2,100. So, I paid AHS $100 to tell me what the problem was. And we're paying them monthly for coverage that is worthless. But going forward, that won't happen. Because as soon as I get back in town, the first thing I will cancel is American Home Shield. They are the biggest fraudulent rip-off racket that exists. What they are doing should be illegal.

    The toilet in our spare bedroom kept on running and wouldn't shut off. I went to AHS's website and I thought it was really easy to use - enough that we'll wanna renew our contract when it expires in November. I could find everything really easily. Then, they gave me the name of the contractor and I immediately got a text saying that my claim had been assigned and a telephone number. Someone from High Priority Plumbing and Services reached out and they were great with the service. They called to let us know when they were coming and they were here and fixed everything. It was super quick. Inside the toilet tank, they replaced a seal and some sort of mechanism. It was nice to see them replace the whole harness-type thing because it was really old and needed to go.

    I have two contracts with American Home Shield. I have one out here in Vegas and one back in Pennsylvania. I've only had three claims so far. I've had two out of here in Vegas and one back in PA. In residence back in PA, the call was for the air conditioner. The only thing that disappointed me about the whole deal was I had to pay for the Freon. When the technicians put a new compressor in at the unit back east, the Freon was 800 and some dollars. I didn't realize that the Freon wasn't included.

    The AC here in Vegas was acting the same way where it was blowing hot air, so I was freaked out. I called in a claim and talked to someone. At the time this AC went out, it was like 110 degrees out here. I'm 71 years old. I asked the rep, "If it was the worst case scenario and if the problem was the compressor, how long was it going to take?" He said it could be anywhere from two to six weeks. That was unacceptable.

    I called back the next day and I got a lady on the phone. She said that if it was the compressor, she promised to handle it personally and that the process was not going to be two to six weeks. She added that the person I talked to earlier was a dispatcher and not a technician. She put my mind to rest a little bit. She was very helpful and sympathetic to my situation. We were to wait and see what the problem was and we would go from there.

    A guy came out on Thursday. We went to the back of the building and there were two units sitting there that were three feet apart. He asked which one was mine and I pointed to the one on the left. He kept saying, “Something doesn't make sense here. I should be getting contacts. I should be getting this, I should be getting that.” Come to find out that the one that I told him was mine was wrong. It was the unit upstairs. In the end, the tecnician diagnosed the problem with the AC unit to be a fuse that had blown. He fixed it so I was glad. I'm satisfied.

    I had a claim for my heat pump that was leaking water. There was the main valve that could be cut off so that water won't keep flowing in the house and the gentleman from United Air Temp told me that it was stuck. I wanted him to fix that issue right then and there because I felt like it was connected to the issue that he came out for. But he said I needed to call AHS back and he would come back out and fix that portion. But when I called back, I found out that I have to pay an additional $100 for a new claim. I didn't feel like it was a new claim, all of that was connected, but they would not do it. I paid $100 for the new claim and when the gentleman came out, the water heater thing was not stuck at all. I complained about it and they reimbursed me the $100. But this was just a little kink in it. Other than that, I really liked the technicians at United Air Temp.

It didn't take him very long to figure out what the problem was and he determined that because of the age of the appliance, parts would be difficult. If not, the parts weren't made anymore.

    The contractor was right on time, very polite, had to replace a part on a connector and it's working well. But when I signed up, it was online and I got a $50 discount on my premium. And everything went fine. I paid a whole year's worth in full. And for three months in a row now, I've been getting a bill for $50. Wednesday, I was on the phone for an hour and a half trying to get it straightened out of why I don't owe it. And I have thought it has been corrected three times, but nobody knew how to get it off my bill.

    The customer service is probably the worst of any company I've ever worked with. It sometimes takes two to three hours on hold to get ahold of somebody, and then I'm lucky if I don't get disconnected before they send me to the right person. I've had several claims for service. And usually, the people that American Home Shield sends are fine. But there are a lot of them they get from not even in my area. So, they come to my town once a week. For example, I had a clogged drain. And it was clogged for five days before a service person got here. Because he had to come from a place 100 miles away.

    American Home Shield has failed to make any progress against my air conditioning service order almost 3 weeks after the original order. The company makes you use their contractors (which in this case was very poorly rated as well), and the contractor must use their parts provider. I could have easily had this work done locally in 48 hours but I was determined to have AHS live up to their obligation. The contract provides no limitation on the amount of time AHS can take to do the work, which I believe is used intentionally against the customer. Customer Service is located outside the US and hard to understand; completely useless. I have been sweating in my home for almost 3 weeks with no end in sight.

I spoke to the contractor when they sent a bill because they said they had tested and repaired it which they didn't do because six weeks later, AHS sent a different company out and I paid $340 more for refrigerant because the techs said the AC needed it. Two hours later, my AC is leaking through my ceiling again. It leaked through three more times in three different rooms.

    We've had various appliances malfunction and we have used American Home Shield a number of times, and it has worked well most of the time. However, it’s very hard to get a human being on the phone and talk to AHS about what is needed. We've had two recent visits. One on the icemaker in the refrigerator, and one on the clothes washing. The icemaker wasn't producing any ice. The technician came out and said we needed a new icemaker. He charged over $400 for the visit, the icemaker, labor and tax. It seemed extraordinarily high to me. After he left, I noticed the icemaker wasn't making ice. So I called GE Appliance and AHS, and I requested another technician to come out. I was getting ready for that then I realized all of a sudden that the switch was on off, not on. The tech somehow turned the switch off and never turned it on. I did and it was fine. So I canceled the appointment for the second tech.

    American Home Shield should be a little bit more flexible in the people that they send out. I have one issue going on right now and it was requested six or seven days ago that someone fix the dishwasher. It goes through the cycle but it's not cleaning. I talked to a lady from the contracted company and she was a little unprofessional. I waited for her to do something so she didn't forget. She then got back on the phone and I told her what the issue was. She was going to send somebody out and it was either going to be one or two days, but she was going to call me.

    The afternoon before the first date that she was going to have somebody come out, I called her. She said they couldn't come out as they were too busy with compressors. I asked when they could come out and she said, “I don't know. If we get more calls on these compressors then we're going to have to do it.” We set up another three possible dates, which now takes us out to close to two weeks on this thing. I told her to please call me and let me know. I'm sitting here waiting for the dishwasher to be repaired. We aren't here at this home all the time because this is only a seasonal secondary place. I also have better things to do than sit here and wait for somebody to not show up.

    We've had multiple things go wrong and I had to make multiple calls. All of them were answered satisfactorily in terms of the VRU. The contractor J.E.M. was very good about getting back to us and so was another contractor, Rotor King. There's somebody coming out this morning because we had a flood from our refrigerator because the icemaker wasn't working. We had to have another contractor come out and put a shut-off behind the refrigerator because the one that was here was inoperable. My husband managed to get it turned but it wouldn't shut off because the refrigerator flooded again. We paid out of pocket to get the thing done so we could turn water back on here.

    My original call before we came was for the water heater. That was on on the 6th or 7th of September. We still don't have any hot water. The microwave went out and that wasn't done. I also discovered there's a leak in the toilet now. I have spent my entire time down here waiting for contractors to show up. I'm not completely dissatisfied because our orders have gone through. There have been some issues with different things and I understand that people are shorthanded. But there have been a couple of things that could have been improved on. I put in a call yesterday to a supervisor asking a question, which she could not answer. She said she would have someone call me back within 24 to 48 hours. It has now been 48 hours and I have not heard anything. I'm not happy with that.

    When I would try and wash some clothes, the electrical panel would go partway through a cycle, and then it wouldn't finish. I had the contractor come up and they diagnosed it right away. The serviceman was very responsive to my texts and kept me abreast of when the part would be in. I had to have parts replaced, and those work great. However, I would like a faster response on American Home Shield's end for updates. They seem to lag behind the actual repair folks. That would be helpful. And I wasn't sure if I should go to them or the repairman for updates. So I just went to the repairman. People need to be patient because even though my experience was good, that's probably not the case every time. I'm sure the process is a little longer than mine was.

    American Home Shield started off great many years ago but it has gotten very difficult to get a resolution if you have an issue. If you have a straightforward repair and can use the internet all the way, you're good. But if you have any kind of issue that needs to be resolved, then the process is aggravating. There are long wait times on the phone then all of a sudden, you get disconnected. There is also inability to speak to a supervisor or someone else who can comprehend what you're describing. Right now, it seems that American Home Shield is having issues with service companies. I talked to my sister the other day and she's very unhappy. She had started a service call back in August and her washing machine is still not repaired. She's in the process of chewing on somebody there.

    The worst issues have a longer delay. They've got to argue and justify everything. I understand that to a big degree, but I don't agree with making it inconvenient for the customer. Make the rules and stick with them. But for my last experience, I was able to do everything 100% over the internet and the service provider was wonderful. Even the lady that answered the phone was a jewel at their office.

    The only issue we had when we submitted a claim for our AC with AHS was that it took a long time, but I don't think that was avoidable. They were very responsive and they kept us aware of exactly what was going on at every point. The techs came out in Tuesday. At that point, the condenser was frozen up. So, we had to wait overnight for it to defrost. Then the next day, they came and put Freon in. It cooled a little bit, but it didn't work. So, they determined they needed to order an expansion valve. They came out Friday of that week and put an expansion valve. At that point, they saw that they didn't really need to put in the refrigerants that they'd put in, so they recaptured it. It's been working fine since then.

The company came and they contacted American Home Shield to see about getting it replaced and it was covered. Also, they suggested that I put a safety valve on there so that if it were to happen again, the hot water heater would automatically shut off so it wouldn't overflow.

He now has to contact American Home Shield before they could give the approval for a replacement. American Home Shield has been good.

    The actual service calls I've had with Americna Home Shield have gone well. But not so much with the pool where there was a billing dispute. The first person who came out didn't do so well with the pool and created some additional problems. We then had to get somebody else to come out and fix those. There was also some confusion about how to build that. It was two service calls. This experience with the billing was probably just somebody who didn't send the right adjustment form through the system and I kept getting bills. In the end, the issue was resolved without a lot of pain so that was okay.

    The more recent service call I had was for the air conditioning. An air conditioning guy came out and it turned out that it was an electrical issue more than an air conditioning issue. American Home Shield sent somebody else out and I paid for one service call. The techs got the work done pretty quickly and they were all very nice. It all was seamless.

With the first gentleman that came out, everything was completely fixed. He was very sweet and kind.

    The only issue that I had was when I called in for a plumbing and there were multiple issues, the AHS site didn't allow me to choose multiple issues. So, when they came out and something wasn't fixed, they had to come back. They were saying, "No, it was only the one issue." I didn't have the opportunity. It didn't allow me to choose multiple issues when I did it. It's the same with the air conditioning and stuff like that when you have to do it online. When you call in, it takes a long time, then you have to do it online, and it doesn't give you the opportunity to say what the multiple issues are.

At the beginning of the year, we had a sewage backup into the house, and it was bit of a nightmare. The first plumber they sent out stuck an auger down there. He pulled it up one wipe, closed the cap, and said, “Nope, can't do it ‘cause you got a wipey in there. And that’s not covered.” I said, “What?” He said, “My company can come out, and we'll come out and do it.” It was a company through American Home Shield. We paid them $500, they came out and still didn’t fix the problem, and then stopped taking our calls. We contacted American Home Shield about it.

    AHS said there was nothing they could do because we did it on our own after they said they couldn't help us because there was a wipey. We also found out that they had a lot of complaints about this particular plumber. When I went online and searched, there were a lot of complaints as well. I don't believe they use them anymore though. Other than that, we've had very good responses, and we were shocked at how quick this last response was. I requested service for our hot water heater and the repair company was super quick about it. I put the request in on a Saturday, and they came Monday then replaced it Wednesday.

I couldn’t go anywhere. Even though you had to wait 30 days before you could come to my home, but still, I had clothes that needed to be washed. I was mad because I shouldn’t have to fight for a washer and dryer when I already paid them for a washer and dryer 20 times. I made a call back in January about three times, but no one came out to my home until March. It was really bad. Also, when I call American Home Shield, I’m always talking to somebody out of the country. I don't understand them and they don’t understand me.

    I've been with American Home Shield since 2004, and I've never had to make calls. But when I started having to make a call, they gave me the hardest time ever.

American Home Shield said, “No, we only cover the dryer.” In another section, they said they cover all ventilation, but they meant ventilation associated with heating and cooling. It’s an ambiguity and that should have been covered. What they say they cover is not specifically called out in their contract and in the end, because it's ambiguous, they can arbitrarily deny it because of the lack of specificity in the contract.

    The plumber came on time, and everything was okay, but I don't think my problem with the sound on the faucet has completely gone away. When we flush our toilet, it gives us a huge noise, filling up the tank. The plumber said he replaced a part, but I still hear another kind of noise and I'm keeping an eye on it. I don't know if he created another one or it didn't get fixed completely, but the rest of the other stuff was taken care of. The claim part was really good too. They forwarded me what they replaced.

    American Home Shield's claims process is easy. I can do it right online. One time, I had an electrical issue and I was just outside of the 30-day timeframe. I had another problem with that same problem, and they said I was too late. Clearly, I was outside of the timeframe that they established, but I thought, “Okay, it's one or two days.” It is what it is though. Also, I'm not always sure on what's covered, but I don't know that that's American Home Shield's fault. I need to read my documents more closely, because I sometimes forget. The documents are a lot to look through though. I had another electrical thing where I just need to change the light bulbs and I thought, "Is this a problem?"

    Recently, two of my GFCI outlets stopped working, and they were almost back to back. One was on the inside, while the other was on the outside. They were connected and needed to be replaced. American Home Shield assigned a gentleman who got right in touch with me, came out the next day, and had it fixed in 10 minutes. It was great.

    I have an older home and when I bought it, the previous owners had the home warranty. I've extended it since because I've found value in it. Even these little things, I paid $75 for an electrician to come out. I don't know what that would have cost otherwise, but it would have been more than that. To me, American Home Shield has been worth it, and it gives me peace of mind. I have a really old HVAC system and should that go, that's a hefty repair. Knowing that I've got American Home Shield to rely on for things has been helpful. It's a worthwhile service and they've helped me with a variety of different things.

    We have two accounts. We have one for two different avenue addresses. The one that was for the AC was on Beacon Field. American Home Shield fixed it once. Then 10 minutes later, it turned off again. It was still under the warranty, so they called the company back. And they came and fixed it for good. That went well. We've been with AHS for a while. We haven't had any issues until recently. And that's regarding the company that they hired, which was A&E. They were having trouble getting somebody out. We first made the claim on July 28th for our refrigerator, but we haven't had it resolved because we're still waiting to get the refrigerator replaced. It turned out that the refrigerator was unfixable, so we're waiting on cards from Lowe's. They purchased another refrigerator. We were supposed to receive an email from Lowe's, but we're still waiting. It has only been a day and a half. And I know they said it would take some time.

    Both my toilets would run intermittently on their own and the first guy who came out fixed one toilet. But a couple of hours after he left, the other one started doing it again. So, another guy came out and he fixed it, and it's been fine ever since. I called American Home Shield one other time for the toilet. It was making this ungodly noise. I had been plunging it before that and it cleared it up. So the guy didn't have to do anything. I had a warranty on my house with another company before I sold it and they sucked. I would go with American Home Shield any day. They addressed the problem and didn't give me the runaround. They didn't make me wait three months to get my air conditioner fixed.

    It’s hard to get ahold of someone to talk to with AHS because every time you wanna talk to someone in the call center, it’s out in the Philippines and you can hardly understand what they're saying. You’re trying to explain what the issues are. Then they wanna try to solve the problem. I tell them I wanna talk to a supervisor or to someone who can speak English. But they’ll be avoiding me or avoiding that situation. They should have an office somewhere here in the States to take care of that, instead of everything being done remotely.

    They had sent out someone from Plumbers Inc. for the hot water tank. I’m handicapped, so I couldn’t get out there to see what was going on. The plumber was not professional. He just left us a note. “They’re not gonna cover this, and they're not gonna your hot water tank.” He was making decisions. It’s not his job to tell me what they're not gonna cover because his job is to go out and assess the problem and then let American Home Shield know. And then they’ll tell me. With that happening like that, I got my hot water tank leaking and running this water, and he’s gonna tell me they’re not gonna cover it. I need it done. I got my house shut down. He also told me I had mold there but it wasn’t his job to do all that. I was just pissed about it. So, I went on and got another company that’d take care of that.

    When I finally got ahold of someone at American Home Shield, then I had to pay to get the thing straightened out and redone. But they only were gonna pay just for a tank that is not gonna be completely up to standards or code. I had to pay all the difference. I told them, “I’ve got it done. Don't ever send the company to our house anymore.” They never called me back for weeks. Then finally, someone did, then they apologized. ‘Cause I threatened that if I get no call back on this thing, I’m gonna cancel American Home Shield. But finally, they did.

    They wrote me out a check of 500-something dollars for that. But I paid over $1,500 to have it done and up to code and it was very professionally done by Roto-Rooter, which is a very reputable company. AHS wanted me to send them the paperwork and invoice and I did that and showed them everything. But I didn’t like the way that was handled and I didn’t like the way that was done. I was really perturbed about it because I figured they’re too big for something like this. I’ve been dealing with them for quite a while. For them to have a company to come out, whoever they sent out to do it like that, then that’s a representation representing them.

    It could have been solved a lot earlier if they have a phone number I could call and talk to someone in their service department, with somewhere I can talk to a supervisor, instead of talking to someone that you’re trying to understand what they're saying and then they’re still trying to talk to you about that, trying to solve the problem, which they get paid to do as a call center. I need someone that has more power than what they're trying to do.

    I also had two issues at the time with that. I had a toilet leaking too. Because I didn’t tell them about the toilet, I figured all is under plumbing. So, I had a guy look at it while he was here. I needed to have it adjusted to two work orders. And that was another fight I had with them, ‘cause I’d already paid the $100 for the guy to come out just to turn around and leave. I didn’t wanna pay another service call when I could’ve done all under one umbrella with that. So, I ended up having to pay half of another service call for them to come out and fix a leaky toilet.

    I like American Home Shield because they addressed the issue. They are accurate on sending somebody out here, taking care of what the problem is. But the people who came out, even when there was a leak the very first time when I first came, a bogus company came out and just shut the whole thing down. I had to do a recall, because the bogus company said that the water leak from the toilet, it was from something and he just made it up.

    I called my warranty, saying, “My AC in my house is just blowing hot air.” So AHS sent somebody out. But when they wrote the ticket, they only wrote for one AC. I have 10,000 square feet in my house, and I have three units. And I told the lady that. The contractor came out and serviced all three units and put the Freon in there. It did a wonderful job. The house was doing nice. All of a sudden, I heard a noise in the top level AC on the third floor. The tech came out. He pulled a piece of paper out. He said, “Oh, it's a piece of paper that was in there from the filter.” The filter got water on there. Because when he showed me the filter and how to change it, he noticed that water was in a bucket and asked me what was that water. He didn’t say, “The water is coming from the AC.” He said to me, “Where is this water coming from?” But he knew it was coming from there. Because when he came back, he split the pole and tried to deter the water.

    There is a condensing line where the water goes outside. That water was overflowing into that bucket the whole time into my house. When he put the Freon in there, I said, “Oh, the house must have been just cold and ducts must be sweating.” Because the second floor, all of a sudden, water started coming through the ceiling in my kid's room. The water was consistently coming out of the drain pipe from the third floor into that thing, destroying my house. Overflowing into my house without me not knowing. I called him out but didn't say to me, “The water is leaking from the AC down into your house.” What he did was he put a tap line in that pipe to deter the water from there to go into the bucket, without even telling me. Because he said to me, “You have to get the water out of the bucket eventually.” And I said, “Okay.” I cannot say it was a rush, not mandatory. He said, “Turn the AC on in 15 minutes.” I turned the AC on in five hours.

    He told me he cannot unclog that pipe that goes outside from the AC where the water needs to drain. And when I turned it on, the water came from the third floor all the way down to my first floor, so the water came through my walls. At the same time, I called another company. They told me, “He should have told you that this water was coming out of here because it's wet right here.” That company tried to fix it. He said, “We can't fix this. I'm having to detour this another way, and it will cost you $300.” And I said, “Whatever you need to do to fix this and stop this water.”

    The original company that came out just called me and said they would have somebody come out and fix it. The man called me, said he would come out and look for the job. He came to my house at 7:00 o'clock at night to look at the job. That is not professional for them to think they could come in my house at 7:00 at night talking about they would fix some water damage. And with his text, he said, “Hey, you. Hi, Eric.” No. I'm not a “Hey, you.” You can say, “Hi, Mr.” He doesn't even know me. So that his bogus way of you texting me because somebody gave him my number, I ignored him. I went to Home Depot and asked them to request somebody to come out and give me an estimate for my house to be fixed. If the company does not repair this, they are going to be sued, or I need my home warranty company to address this. I also tried to send AHS my receipt, but I never got paid.

    The garbage disposal wasn't working recently and the tech fixed it. I've used American Home Shield three times since I've had them and all my experiences have been okay. I haven't had anything sneak up on me except when I got the air conditioner replaced. One would think that if you're getting your air conditioner serviced and it fell under the warranty, anything that happened would be covered. In my case, the techs were putting Freon in the air conditioner and it needed three pounds. It was $100 a pound. That was something I didn't know before they came. There are some additional expenses you are going to incur. If I had someone else out, I probably would have incurred that same expense to put the Freon in. If I need to have Freon put in again though, I probably would let my friend put it in because then I wouldn't have to pay the $100.

    Things have been fine. If I have questions, everybody has been very willing to answer my question. The contractors that they sent all have been great. I really like the fact that we can request the same contractors again. So that's also been nice as opposed to having a different type of contractor come out every time.

They do great work and explain everything. I trust them as a company.

    The oven was not working recently. The heating element had gone bad. EJ's Appliance Repair did a great job. They were able to identify what it was. But I've had a stove worked on three times since I've purchased it. I don't know if it's the stove or what's going on. But they came out and fixed it efficiently. It's been fine.

    The air gap of my dishwasher in the unit was leaking. The tech mentioned that there was nothing wrong with it. He said that it was normal for the air gap to constantly leak the water outside the sink. At first, the air gap was towards the countertop and it leaked over there. So we pulled it back so it can go to the sink. I still didn't think it was right because the air gap shouldn't leak all the time when the machine is working. But the tech said everything was fine. So, I contacted AHS again and they recalled the case. They were going to send another person but since it takes so long and I have a tenant living in the unit, I didn't want it to take that long.

    So, I just finished the job and brought another professional from American Home Shield to fix the air gap for me. I didn't get the money back and I'm sure if I call, they would recall things again. I think that I can always call back so they would send a senior person to help. So, I'm not very happy with that. The thing with the dishwasher has happened to me another time with the washing machine. It was leaking as well and the tech said everything was okay. I had to call back and AHS sent their senior person. He realized the washing machine was not okay and he fixed it.

    Additionally, AHS usually puts an open window during which contractors can come and see for whatever issue. The problem is that sometimes they don't call me at least 20 minutes earlier because if my tenant is not home, I have to stay at the unit for that long for the techs to come. I had an experience in the bast wherein the techs didn't even wait five minutes. But I respect their time. I know they're busy and they shouldn't wait. When they come, we should be there for them.

American Home Shield should check the reliability and professionalism of the people that they have on their list.

He was fine and he resolved the problem. The only thing was it took a while to schedule the appointment. It took three days for the repair person to come out. He had an interval that he was going to come out from 1:30 till 5:30. I was the last person and he came at 5 o'clock. If he couldn't solve the problem within that half hour, he was going to leave it to the next day. But he was able to solve it within that time and the unit worked since.

    Summer Breeze Heating & Air came out for my AC and they were awesome. The tech was super friendly. We had major traffic problems around Atlanta that day, which is almost every day now with construction, and we were both stuck, and he communicated with me excellently. He was very friendly and professional. I know a little bit of the HVAC stuff but I didn't wanna touch it myself and damage something. And he knew exactly what it was. He showed me a couple of things that the home inspector missed. It was well worth the $75 I spent on having the guy come out. When I requested for the service, I did it all online and it was unbelievably amazing. I chose to go with AHS because I wanted to know that I could talk to somebody or clearly. And even when I called AHS to change, they were very clear, precise, friendly and professional. And I appreciate that because I didn't get that from the other company that I had before AHS.

    I've had two claims so far. When we moved into the house, it turned out the refrigerator wasn't working. I had to figure out what was wrong with that and then most recently, the soap dispenser on the dishwasher was broken. American Home Shield fixed the issues, and as a matter of fact, the guy just left a couple hours ago to fix the dishwasher. I'm very satisfied.

I liked the company a lot. The tech had good communication. He determined what the problem was and ran it through American Home Shield, and they said, “Replace it.” He found one within a day, and then the next day, he installed it.

    American Home Shield is doing good. They do the appointments right away. But it's the contractors I have problems with.

When they came to fix a plumbing issue, I was never informed what the issue was and how it was resolved. All I was told was it was resolved. When somebody comes here, they should leave us an invoice, "Here's what was done. Here's what we found. Here's what we did. No charge because you're covered."

    There was some electrical issue with the engagement of my appliance that broke off the power to the unit. The tech was professional and he knew what he was doing. He was polite and efficient. Generally, the issue with AHS's claim process comes with scheduling and the efficiency of the company that they use. I have to use one of the companies they have. They should broaden the network of contractors. They give me the option to opt out though but the approval process has to go through them. Other than that, AHS is pretty expedient. Ensure that you know what AHS offers and if your problem is covered under certain situations. Know what you're getting for your money.

    I've had two claims with AHS recently. The one with the garbage disposal was handled really well. The one with the hot water heater, I got a letter from them yesterday saying that they couldn't do it because, to be brought to code, they have to put in a pan now and make a drain in the bottom of the pan so that if the hot water heater fails, the water doesn't come in the house like it did this last time. I got that problem corrected, but I need the hot water heater fixed. I don't mind paying or doing the pan myself, but I want them to replace the hot water heater. And that hasn't been resolved yet.

    I've had American Home Shield for five years since I moved in here in this mobile home. I had them before for a while in my house over there. I don't turn in very many claims. They seemed to have handled them, at that time, okay. This is the first discrepancy that I've had with them where they're not handling it like they should. They need to be really upfront on how they cover the claim.

    My water heater exploded and I had water all over my basement. Weise Plumbing and Heating made time for me when I called and they did an emergency call out. They got in the same day, which was really nice. I just had to wait on American Home Shield to approve it. But they expedited it upon my request, which was good. It was a holiday weekend, Labor Day, and Wiese was closed on Monday, but then they got me in a couple days after. So, it was seven to eight days without water. They did their best. It was good service. The only thing is that American Home Shield's initial deductible is expensive when it's not a full replacement. When companies come and check things out, it’s 100 bucks. But I haven't had any issues besides that. They have been very reliable and I trust them. Its weight is worth in gold.

    When I called ASAP Plumbing out, they said they thought that the problem was on the air conditioner side and they sent American Home Shield a request to send out an AC person. The AC person came out and said, “No, the problem is not on the air conditioning side. It's on the plumbing side.” And they sent that information back to AHS, but they did not contact me. I contacted them and found out they closed the request before it was resolved.

    I talked to the lady and said, “This request is closed.” She said, “Well, let me look into it. Yeah. This request was closed. Did the air conditioning people come out?” I said, “Yeah. But he referred it back to the plumbing.” She said, “Let me check on that. Oh, yeah, he did.” I said, “Well, when did you get that notice to refer it back to the plumber.” “Yesterday.” “Well, why did it take me to call you to notify you that you need to send the plumber back?” Because they would not send the plumber back out until I called and they looked in their records and found out that the AC person recommended that the plumber come back because the issue was not on the AC side but on the plumbing side. I said, “You guys weren't going to do anything with it because you had closed the request. And you closed the request that it was through, yet it wasn't.”

    That is the only problem I have - the problem I had with AHS' customer service. The lady told me that the reason why they didn't do anything is because the AC people didn't call them. I said that didn't even make any sense. She said they communicated through their portal. I said that was the same thing as calling them. This is the 21st century. We get calls, portals, texts, emails. I said, “There’s no such thing as, 'If you don’t call me, we don’t take action.'” Back when the only communication we had was via phone or somebody coming to our house, that worked.

    If the program they have set up doesn’t have requirements that they timely react to their contractors’ instructions and what they say or report, if they have things come to their portal and they don’t review it in two or three days, then that is their issue. And if they don’t have that in place, then I will suggest they put that in place that that is reviewed in a more timely manner. If they already have it in place, then that would be something they need to take up with their employees as to whether they are following instructions and the protocol. I've been with American Home Shield for many years. And it has always been some problem. Most of the problems are understood. But not keeping in contact with a client while they are in the midst of a service and closing the service without even a notification to the client is not acceptable.

    The first claim that I submitted was our pipes were leaking in our utility room, where our washing machine is stored. I went down there to wash some clothes, and there was water all over the floor. Apparently, there was some type of backage in the pipe from the kitchen sink. I contacted American Home Shield, and they sent out a plumber. He had to replace some type of piping in our kitchen area. And once he did that, everything was fine.

    The second claim that I filed was, he had to tear through the wall to repair the pipe. I had to call a drywaller to come out and repair the wall, fill up that hole that he knocked in the wall. The third claim was our kitchen sink was backing up. My husband put some Drano or sulfuric acid in the sink. And when the plumber came out, he said, "Well, I can't touch this until about a week later." Because the acid was still strong. It needed to be diluted. So he came back a week later. That was something outside the claim. We paid him $75, and we had to pay him an additional $200 for him to fix it because my husband had thrown something in the sink, in trying to dissolve the stoppage. That was something outside of our policy.

    I called the tech but he told me that he would have to come back a week later to solve the problem. So I called AHS to see whether we had to pay an additional $75 or how it can be handled. And they denied the claim because it was something that we did that we weren't supposed to do. Other than that, AHS is really good. When I call them, even though I had to wait a little while on the phone, when they picked up, they put the claim through. And the people came right away. That was something different from two years ago because we had problems with our air condition. It took them forever to come out and fix the problem. But this time, they came fast. It was a quick turnaround time.

    I have used American Home Shield a handful of times. I had a problem with one or two contractors that were not great but they weren't terrible either. One contractor I had that was great was Melton Plumbing. I had two leaky sinks and a toilet that was leaking due to me not installing something correctly. The repair people resolved all the issues quickly.

    It would be nice for American Home Shield to have an app. I have to go to a desktop computer in order to put in a claim. Another thing is that contractors are automatically assigned or there may be preferred contractors. It would be nice to be presented with three options so that I could do my own due diligence on the contractors then select one from them.

    A home warranty would be a good investment over time. We've had a few expensive repairs done and all we had to pay was the service fee. We've paid less subscribing to American Home Shield than we would have doing the repairs on our own. If you have a super expensive issue come up, you already know how much you're gonna pay as long as it's covered under your contract. With a home warranty, it's also a lot easier to find someone. You don't have to research and find your own people. You just call your home warranty and they already have people within their network.

    The hot water heater had been leaking in my rental house. I called American Home Shield on Thursday and they sent me an email saying someone will contact me. But I didn't hear anything. I called up on Saturday and the guy said, “Well, sorry. It's a holiday weekend. We can't be there till Tuesday or Wednesday.” So I had my guys that were redoing the place unhook the hot water heater because it was causing damage to my house. All the drywall was getting soaked, which I've had to cut out and replace.

    When the contractor showed up, they said they saw where it was leaking and they also saw the damage. They said they would have to replace it. But then my claim got denied because the hot water heater was unhooked. American Home Shield said it was my fault because I should have called back, which was not stated anywhere, and asked for it to be expedited. But when I talked to the guy on Saturday, he didn't tell me to call American Home Shield back and get the claim expedited. So I've had to pay 450 for the hot water heater and an extra $1,500 for damage. My experience with American Home Shield has been okay up until this claim.

    We had a previous claim that wound up costing us a lot of money out of pocket and it was never resolved. We had an issue with a leaking pipe and we paid the $100 claim. They sent out a contractor, who cut a huge hole in the outside of my wall that they made us pay $250 for. But they never repaired it and they never repaired the pipe. They said that AHS wouldn't cover it so we were left to handle everything ourselves. We still have the huge hole in the front of our cement in the wall. But our recent experience was good. Everything was fast and handled efficiently. My appliance started leaking and the touchscreen stopped working. When the tech from Appliance Repair came out, he said I had four different things wrong with it so AHS replaced the unit. It was a pretty quick process so we were happy with it.

    I'm having a hard time getting two of my claims completed. We're waiting on the vendor for our dishwasher repair and we're trying to find a vendor for our electrical. Maybe they should get more vendors. Other than that, we've been able to get service on other claims and they've been great. I like the simplicity of American Home Shield's service. We just put in our claim and they do all the work for us.

    The AC unit wasn't cooling off the upstairs area. Everything appeared to be okay. There were no leaks and the lines were not frozen. But the compressor wasn't kicking in. The tech did a quick assessment and he replaced an electrical component that needed to get the compressor going. It worked right away.

    There was a slow drain in the sink in the kitchen. I submitted the claim on a Wednesday and the contractor came out on a Thursday just like they had planned. They were planning on coming between 1:00 and 4:00, and they got there about 11:30. The tech was well-informed and he knew exactly what he was doing as soon as he saw what was going on. He took care of it real quickly. He was done within an hour. He did a great job.

    Our air conditioners started making a horrific, squealing noise on the outside. I put in a claim online on a Sunday and I got an email or text back within an hour telling me who the claim had been assigned to and that I would be hearing from them the following day. Service people showed up Monday morning and took care of the problem without any issue. They did that in less than an hour. They said that the motor in the outside condenser unit had gone out so they had to replace that. They had the part with them.

    It's so hard to understand anyone from their customer service because none of them speak English so I make my husband call AHS. The reps are super nice but I cannot understand them and I feel bad just going, "Excuse me, excuse me." But the guys who came to fix the dryer were great. The air conditioning guy was also super nice. The people AHS are sending are not bad but I'd rather try and maybe deal with another company. When the warranty comes up in February, I'm going to look for a different one.

    In my recent claim, the first company that American Home Shield sent was heehawing and playing around and acting like they didn't wanna do it. When Monday came around, I called to see what it was and they said they didn't have anybody assigned. Then within 30 seconds after I hung up, I got an email confirmation and found out the number. By the time I got home by about 4:30, I knew exactly what was wrong with it. But seeing that it's under warranty, I didn't wanna mess with it and then put it out of warranty. Monday afternoon, the tech had the issue fixed and made sure everything was good on it before he took off. However, it was over a week, but it was because of the other people yahooing around. American Home Shield is a little bit more expensive than others, but it's worth it and I've already told a couple of people about it if they need something fixed on their house.

    I have two air conditioning units and earlier in the summer, I had my big unit worked on. Since then, my smaller unit, which cools the upstairs, the motor went out on it. A vendor came out and serviced that for me. The first time, they came out and did service. This time, they replaced the motor. The guy that came out was good. He knew exactly what was going on. He wasn't here 45 minutes. He took care of it and he left.

    I've had good service in some areas with air conditioning. But in other respects, I had some issues with the service provider that American Home Shield sent out for a repair on my washer and dryer. I had to go after that guy. He was a one-man show. I don't know that he had any other employees, and he was very slow. He didn't seem to know what he was talking about. It took him over two weeks to get my washer repaired. I had to get kind of ugly with him and say, “I will call American Home Shield. I'll let them know how dissatisfied I am and I'll strongly urge they get you off of their service as a vendor.” Also, American Home Shield doesn't have people when you call them. Sometimes the people don't know what you're talking about. You have to explain yourself to get them to understand what you're meaning. But other than those, so far, American Home Shield has met my needs.

    With the water heater, a lot of the other stuff that involved installing it was not covered. I was out of pocket $1,000, $1,200. I'm paying $75 a month for insurance and then I'm still out that much. But then I recently had a dryer that wouldn't turn on. The technician that came out had to order a new circuit panel. I didn't have him come out for a couple of weeks because from the time he came out and diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts, we got COVID, and so I had to push him out two or three weeks before he could come back into the house 'cause I didn't want to put him in any kind of danger. He was really great.

    We had a washing machine leak and it was the hot water hose. Repair people came out a day and a half later after we made a claim and they diagnosed what the problem was. They had to put a part in the wall for the hoses to connect to. But they didn't have the part with them and they had to order it. They came back four days later and got to the repair.

    The repair people were spectacular. One of them said he couldn't move the washer by himself. I told him I could help but he said, “No, that's what I'm paid to do.” He called in another assistant to come. The guy showed up and it took him five minutes. They moved the washer and the assistant took off. The plumber guy stayed and did the work. He shut off the hot water for me and explained things really well. He said I could use the washer but it was going to be a cold water washer. That was fine. We did a few loads of laundry here and there. When the repair people came back, they put the washing machine all back together and it’s doing fine.

    We have a manufactured home so we don’t sit on a foundation. The trouble was it got damp right around the washer. I had to ask the plumber to go under the house and he crawled under to take a look. There was no standing water underneath the house from this leak. It just dribbled down the hose. But it caused the floor in front of the washing machine to buckle as well as the floor right outside the washroom, right off the back porch, and the small hallway there. Even though the washer cause that problem, American Home Shield did not fix that because it was secondary. I had to pay for someone to come in and take out the entire linoleum.

    I switched to American Home Shield because it was less expensive. But compared to the company we had before covered, that one covered it when the hot water heater ran all over the kitchen and ruined the floor and the drywall. I thought American Home Shield would do the same for the floors but they don't do that. That's the only downside to this home warranty.

    Another claim we had was for the heat pump at the back of the house that’s for furnace and air conditioning. That went out and the fan would not stop running. We had to call to get it worked on. Someone came and explained what had to happen. He had the part and he worked on the heat pump. He came back in and worked in the laundry room where the furnace was. He took care of the deal and off he went. It didn't even take even a day and it was $75.

    I had issues with my hot water heater. It would be hot sometimes and other times, it would have no hot water. Also, it was starting to seep water around the outer seam as if it was starting to come apart. Matt from Everest Heating and Cooling was a very professional guy. He came in, took a look at everything that I pointed out, and roughly on the spot explained the entire process. He even went into how they will have to install an expansion tank because of the code work. He did a great job explaining why that would happen and also took a look at presenting a couple of options on upgrade.

    We had issues in the beginning with American Home Shield but it seems like everything has gotten resolved. Having AHS in our back pocket makes it easier whenever we find things that are broken. Initially, I put a claim in for a slow drain in a spare bathroom. The tech snaked the drain and got all the hair out of there. He was very professional and laid-back. He explained what he was doing, what the problem was and gave us pointers on what to do for the future. I called in and added something on 'cause it looked like the master bedroom bathtub was leaking into the ceiling of the kitchen. It had turned out that we were getting everything replaced. The tech said that with us getting it replaced, it shouldn't be an issue anymore.

    I have a heated ceiling fan and I still have not gotten that fixed. It's been over a year and I have called American Home Shield about that. I understand the company doesn't make any more heated ceiling fans. So what is the next best thing? American Home Shield should send me something else. I shouldn't have to keep calling them. They got my money. My refrigerator also went out and it took American Home Shield months to get me one. The refrigerator came from overseas and so did the parts. The home warranty had to go through the proper steps, which is fine and dandy, but it's bad when I had to go rent a refrigerator from Rent-A-Center.

    There are some things that American Home Shield needs to work on. They should get American people. You talk to somebody and it's always overseas. I'm pissed already because I'm agitated then they send me somebody foreign that I can't even understand what they're saying. American Home Shield should also get some local people and quit trying to get the little mom and pop shops that can't handle the job or don't have extra employees. I have to wait weeks or months for somebody to come out. My toilet was leaking down into my bathroom downstairs. That issue was resolved but now I have a big stain because it took American Home Shield almost two weeks to have somebody come out. I gotta find somebody to fix that stain issue.
