    I had an AC issue, and apparently, it was just the fan blade that was bent. The tech came out and told me what was going on. He didn’t have the part on him, so he said he’ll try to make it back but he wasn't sure, as his company's based out of Las Vegas, and we’re in Pahrump, which is about about 45 to an hour and a half. Then about two and a half hours later, he showed up at the door with the part in his hand, so it was a good experience. I've only used American Home Shield one time and they got on it, and everything got fixed right away.

    I've got two claims open and the one for the AC was a little disappointing. The coil went bad on the unit and the total bill was 2,400. American Home Shield only paid 500 so it ended up costing me $1,900 out-of-pocket. But all the techs who came out were very good to work with. They told me that there was a probability that AHS would not cover a lot of this repair. But most of the time, AHS is easy to work with. They always tell you what's covered or not covered in their contract, but it doesn't go into specifics, like that coil. So, that was a large expense. I've had other claims like with the dryer and that went well. There were also pipes that were leaking and those were okay.

    The door latch of the dryer broke. I liked the claims process with AHS. I particularly liked the video diagnosis. It was nice not to wait for the contractor. So it went pretty quick. I'm still finishing up with the claim but it's fine. They're close to getting it done. I had two consecutive claims that sort of came together.

    My AC had a Freon issue and when I first contacted AHS, they wanted me to go through a web page. But I'm not very good with technology, so I called and waited to receive a human voice to speak with. I gave them all the information and they did what they were supposed to. They told me how much it was going to cost, how much they would pay for the Freon, and how much I would be responsible for. Then on that same day, I had an appointment for someone to come and look at it. The tech found where it was leaking, welded it, and filled it with Freon. He explained everything and he was patient with me because when someone tells you how much it's gonna cost and it's way up there, you get a little disturbed. But I appreciated everything he did.

    I fell and hit my head on the toilet. I was in the hospital for three days and when I came home, the toilet was leaking. I called and talked to a rep named Han on 9/7 and he put an order in. On the 8th, the contractor called and scheduled an appointment for the 9th. On the 9th, a plumber came out and I liked him a lot. I got a hold of the plumber's office on the 10th and they told me American Home Shield was not going to cover the claim because they don't cover accidents. They only cover wear and tear.

    I called American Home Shield back to confirm that the coverage was just wear and tear. The rep Jericho confirmed that and said they already sent the plumber so they were not giving me the deposit back. But I was upfront and I told them from the very beginning that it was an accident. Jericho said I didn't and that I didn't talk with Han and that I put in the claim myself online. That was ridiculous and insulting. I was so angry and I told Jericho I wanted my $100 back or I would go through Visa and get it back. I also wanted my policy cancelled. I got a payment that went right through the next day.

    American Home Shield should have listened from the very beginning to what I said because they could have saved me three days. I had to go through the entire weekend with a broken toilet. This is the third time our home warranty has failed us. The first one was when a plumber put us off for days and days. I yelled at that plumber and it was horrible. They had 80 bad reviews from working with American Home Shield. That was scary. I cancelled the service. The second one was for the air conditioning unit and it was during a hot spell in the summer. The air conditioning people said it would be two weeks before they could see me. I asked if it was because they only did a certain number of American Home Shield in a week or in a day. They said that was right. I cancelled the service.

    The dryer stopped drying, so AHS had somebody come out and service it. The service was great and I liked that you can do request for service over the internet. The process is very straightforward. But it seems like their providers seem to take longer than usual. When I was first with them, they had providers that were readily available and they came out in a timely fashion. But now, that is far and in between.

    I've even heard from some people that I did business with before with American Home Shield that the customer service is really bad for the companies that are working with them. They also said that the payment is really bad. They claimed it was because of the pandemic that the customer service centers were not staffed properly and it took too long to get their payments. And I've had a company that we've used through them before that refused to service us. They said they didn't want to deal with Home Shield and that we had to pay out of our pockets.

    The refrigerator stopped working. The techs evaluated it, ordered a fan, a control board and some sort of flap on the refrigerator then came out and installed them. We just called in a recall today because the refrigerator doesn't seem to be getting as cold. It's 10 degrees too warm. AHS's claims process for appliances is usually straightforward. But for air conditioning, they have marginal response teams and it takes too long.

    Having a home warranty is an assurance. Just like any insurance, it keeps me from worrying about having really huge bills come up to surprise me. Handy Randy's was sent for our refrigerator and he was great. He had to get parts but he was able to fix it. Recently, we had a problem with our air conditioning. The claim submission process seems difficult because it seemed like I talked to several different people. The only contractor AHS had on their system was up in Orlando and they would not come as far as we were away. So, I got somebody else to take care of my problem and I had to send the bill in. That was a month ago and I still haven't heard anything as to whether the bill is going to be paid.

    I was having standing water in the shower, which was causing the toilet in the same bathroom to bubble and also the slow drain in the bathtub in that bathroom. The problem fixed itself 12 hours after I called and scheduled the appointment, but I still wanted somebody to come out and look at it because I didn't know if it might have just partially cleared. The plumbing company came out, and the problem did not repeat itself.

    The process time, not necessarily the response time, is too long. American Home Shield said the plumber would call me within two days, so I had to wait two days to hear from the plumber then another two days for the plumber to make it out to when they could come see my issue. It makes me a little concerned that if it's an emergency problem, how long is that going to take? Another four days for somebody to be able to come out and look at the issue?

    The toilet in my son's bedroom sometimes flushed and often times would not. I was told that the reason it did that was because it was an old toilet from the early '90s. The tech said that it wasn’t stopped up and nothing was really done. I was advised to buy a new toilet. Older toilets didn't always have enough water in the tank to flush the debris down. I went in my son's bathroom today to straighten up a little and it was stopped up. I'm 74 years old and I was in there trying to plunge the toilet.

    I have American Home Shield on our lake house and it's a four-year plan. We're entering the third year for that one. We also have the home warranty on this house that we bought in 2018. The first year was paid for by the previous owner and I've had it ever since. I have the home warranty because there are many things that I can't do anymore. It's also a security to me because I have a 76-year-old husband that goes ballistic anytime anything has a fault with it. It's easier for me to call and hope to God that someone would come out timely and fix whatever the problem is. For the most part, my service has been okay. But I was saddened about the air conditioner this time. I can't live in South Carolina without one so I had to get a new air conditioner.

    American Home Shield's customer service also talks really well. This year has been much better about not being on hold for so long compared to last year which was painful. You could wait an hour easily and I'm not good with that. The technicians who came also fixed the little things well. But there are a lot of things that I think should be covered by the warranty that aren't. Overall, I like the idea of American Home Shield and I would recommend them to anyone buying a home that's new or not and to people who just want to keep the home up and running. I just wish American Home Shield is more timely about getting out to solve problems. This last claim was very fast but it hasn't always been that way.

    American Home Shield sucks altogether. I submitted a request for my refrigerator on April 2nd. All of the vendors that came in, which was approximately nine of them if I'm counting the last guy, said the same thing - that it was inoperable and they couldn't fix the issue. I know that if getting a replacement unit, a vendor has to tell AHS that they cannot repair it and each and every one of these vendors that I had spoken to told me that they had already advised AHS. But I didn't get a remedy until 9/7/2021 and that is insane to me. We're pretty disappointed. I had also called multiple times and I've given three separate diagnostics the same way. It sounds like it's with the same person.

    On Time Plumbing came out on the two claims I had and both times, they sent the same guy, Willie. The first time, he came for the leak from the ceiling coming through. Water was running down the side of the shower and going behind the spigots, running down the pipes, and then that caused all the Sheetrock to get wet and drip. He did a great job on that. The second time, he came for the flapper in the toilet. Then the main piece inside the toilet was old and busted so he replaced them. When he was done, he showed me that when flushing it, the arm handle broke on it, so he replaced that.

    In between those two service calls, the faucet in the bathroom was really tight and I couldn't even turn it on. I have children and they were not strong enough to even move it. Normally, the hot side would do something like this. But this was the cold side. I called American Home Shield and spoke with a representative at that time. She said that on my contract, they don't cover faucets. I told her that I've had the same contract with AHS for 13 years and they came out and replaced faucets and done work on faucets for me before. She was just like, “Well, no. We don't do faucets.”

    What's funny about that is when Willie came out, I had mentioned that to him. He said it was not true and that they must have had somebody new or doesn’t know what they're doing because his company works on faucets for American Home Shield all the time. So, that was a little odd. I went to Lowe's and bought my own faucet and changed it myself. That is something I would like American Home Shield to look into.

    I have had some positive experiences. I had two air conditioners replaced. On one, I put in my ticket for the repair on one and the company was great. My anticipation was they would come on Monday or the next week. They came early on a Sunday morning. The guy was nice, super efficient and repaired the unit. Right then, he told me something was wrong with it. He repaired it, and it worked immediately. He even let me know that my hot water heater was damaged and I didn't know it was leaking. He did a good job. The other one was a hot mess. I felt the company that was assigned to us did not follow through on the paperwork. The air conditioner was out for months in the summertime. I complained and complained and American Home Shield finally reassigned it to someone else who did a great job, and he was very efficient.

    If an item is not available and it has to be repaired, I found that if the person has to order something, they don't always follow up. I had two items that were broken at the same time. One item, they were able to repair, and the other, they had to order a part for which is understandable. The person never came back to repair the second item, even though they were supposed to. So, I had to call back to AHS and they had to send somebody else. I didn't have to pay another fee. But it was just the whole follow through on it. Overall, I've been happy except for the air conditioning units. And I felt that value of the two of them have been well worth my money that I've spent. And in most cases, both with the hot water heater that I just had replaced and the air conditioner repair, both of them went smoothly without a problem.

    The air conditioner was not cooling and the condenser in the outside cooling unit was all frozen. Once I submitted the claim, everything was done within four days. The tech diagnosed the problem and got it fixed within a week. But in one of my previous claims, American Home Shield wouldn't pay people to fix somebody's air conditioner on a holiday and in the summer here in Alabama, when it was 100 degrees. They don't pay people to come out and do a service call on holidays because it costs extra money. But I pay $100 for a deductible with American Home Shield when I have to call, and a service call is $75 to $100 for the contractor to come out.

    American Home Shield saved me a lot of money. It does what it says it's supposed to do. But they don't fully explain all of the plans, and it's hard to understand them. I am a Realtor and I sell their product. I tell people about their product. But I didn't know that there was a Realtor plan and that I could get a different plan. Therefore, in one of my previous experiences when they had to replace the coil, I had to pay about $300. But now, I'm hearing that there's a Realtor plan there that would have covered the Freon. I told them that I’m a Realtor but they never brought up the special plan to me. They should provide people with that extra.

    When I call American Home Shield to submit a claim, their reps are simple and very friendly. The contractor normally comes out in one or two days. When they come out, they already have my complaint in their work order so they look into it and then they show me what is missing or broken. It is very rare that I say something and they understood something else. Mostly, they are good.

    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.

    My water filter housing was off again and that's a fairly common problem with my fridge. A tech assessed it was what it was. I knew that because we dealt with it before. He ordered parts then rescheduled to come back out when they were in. He fixed the fridge at that point in time. Everything right now is going well. Overall, American Home Shield's claim process has been pretty good. But sometimes I wish the turnaround could be a little quicker like if the problem was the AC in the middle of summer. This one with the fridge wasn't too bad.

He put in the request to be able to get the part, and then he came back two weeks later with the part and fixed it. He was great. He gave me a time between 9:00 and 12:00 and showed up right at 12:00 because it wasn't his fault because of nature stuff. But he made it there and he fixed it.

    First Choice AC was horrible. I was having the same issue with the AC and they were out here two or three times. When the two owners came on the last visit, they knew the problem and fixed the AC within 45 minutes but with the other guy, no. But everything's working right now because of the two owners. They said I was missing a valve and they ordered it.

    Also, American Home Shield's customer service sucks. I know when something's written down and they have to read it word for word. They're calm and collected but they don't understand a freaking word I'm trying to say. They are the worst customer service I've ever dealt with in my entire life and I've dealt with some crappy ones. AHS does exactly what the contract says and I love the website.

    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. First find out where their service techs are, if they're in town or out of town, what takes so long to get more prompt service.

    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.

    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.

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. Save your money because it won't produce the results you expect!

    They have horrible service and their contractors have terrible ratings. I’m still waiting 2 Weeks to have my AC fixed. They twisted my words on my last review- in fact, I never authorized a review. I received a cold call from their company and the representative published the review. I am giving them zero stars.

    The contractors are fine. But the problem is with American Home Shield. They take their time sending people to me. It's like they deal with people based on their social-economic status. I live in a certain sector of Dallas and American Home Shield takes their time doing things for me. But I spend just as much money as everybody else, and I'm faithful to it.

    When I had COVID back in December, my washer and dryer went out. It took American Home Shield forever to send out someone. I was constantly telling them that I need the washer and dryer. 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. They have only replaced my hot water heater in 2004 and then my washer and dryer. But I've been paying them all this money every month. Overall, I appreciate American Home Shield. When they replaced the product, they replaced it. They're a blessing. But they need to work on when someone says it is urgent.

    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.

    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.

    We have been with American Home Shield since 2008, when we moved into this home, and we've had a great claim process with them. 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. All in all, we’ve been happy with American Home Shield over the time we've had them. They've been quick and efficient with anything that we have had.

    Two of the people that American Home Shield sent out for my refrigerator did not do that type of repair work. This last time, I was given the authorization to find a contractor myself and have them assess the situation to see if they can repair the refrigerator then American Home Shield would do a reimbursement. The guy I hired came out and did what he had to do. He said the refrigerator couldn't be fixed because where the leak was at, there wasn't any access to it. He now has to contact American Home Shield before they could give the approval for a replacement. American Home Shield has been good. The only thing I don't like about it is it takes so long and everything is on a wait basis. I don't have another refrigerator so this is the problem.

    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.

    An issue was caught on the home inspection and the homeowner had said that they took care of the issue. When we moved in, it wasn't taken care of. My real estate agent set up the first service call. Two gentlemen came and they were very professional. They sent me a picture and their names prior to coming to the house. They were here 15 minutes and took care of the issue.

    I went through the real estate agent to get my first year with AHS and we picked the entry level. Then, AHS services called me to extend the offer to cover the appliances and I took them up on that offer. But one thing I wasn't thrilled about was the rep told me multiple times that she was only going to charge me for that one-month fee and then it would be charged and that wasn't the case.

    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.

Two hours later, my AC is leaking through my ceiling again. It leaked through three more times in three different rooms.

    Prior to my last appointment for the pipelines under my sink, I was extremely happy with American Home Shield. But after that, not so much. The plumber said he couldn't repair the pipelines. He said he was gonna do the paperwork and AHS would be contacting me by last Friday, a week ago today. I have not heard from them. If he didn't put the paperwork in in a timely manner, then AHS couldn't contact me in a timely manner. There's no way they can improve on getting the local maintenance people to check on my work order as they don't have control over that.

    I went through the app to submit a claim and then I paid my service fee. Within an hour, they contacted me back with an appointment. When the tech came out, he introduced himself and then asked me where the problem was. He went to troubleshoot it and he was there for about 40 minutes. When we purchased the home, the seller gave us the AHS warranty for the first year. I had the option to keep going with them, and I did because I'm pretty satisfied with their promptness.

    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.

He said he contacted American Home Shield who was to order a part and to contact them within seven days.

    I had a recent experience trying to get another service, and it was extremely difficult. I had a clogged vent and I tried to get someone out to fix it as part of the service. 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. That would have been good for me to know.

    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.

    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.

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

    I would just feel better about the professionalism of the people they send out was like the guy who came out last. One of our air conditioners wasn't working. 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.

    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.

    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.

    I've had heard a lot of people not being pleased with the service of American Home Shield. But I have not had any problems with the claims. I've not had any difficulties with them further explaining things to me. It's really simple. 9 times out of 10, I submit claims via my phone. I just go on the website. I have AHS at two different homes. I have it in my main house and then my other property in Cleveland and it's been the same thing, smooth sailing every single time.

    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. For example, for heating and cooling, I always use A-US Air. Every time I need something done, those are the people who I want to come out because I trust them to do the work. 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. I haven't had any problems with it since then.

    I put in a claim for the air conditioner and All American Cooling came out. I had to wait three weeks to get a part and there was blaming of one another. I’ve had a few issues in the past with parts and I had to wait for them. Due to the pandemic, you really can’t point a finger. Other than that, the claim process was fine. One benefit of having American Home Shield is things that I can't fix can get fixed.

    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.

    American Home Shield has been awesome so far. It’s a lot of peace of mind. I'm single and on a budget, and I liked the extra coverage that I got for a very good deal and for the appliances. Everything is expensive nowadays so it's nice to know that I could get something fixed with more of a budget. I liked that AHS picks people who are trusted. So, I feel comfortable with them coming in my home, which is huge.

    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 always recommend American Home Shield to family. I called them recently for the icemaker that wasn't working. When the contractor called me, they let me know who was coming out. They asked what was going on and also asked me to send them some pictures of the icemaker. The guy who came was very professional, knew exactly what he was doing and handled his business.

    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.

    The AC started making a terrible banging noise so I turned it off. A gentleman from A-US got out here and there was a wire loose. He hooked that wire up and it took him only a few minutes to fix it. The AC worked perfectly until about dark and it started making that noise again. I had to turn it back off. I called them back and the guy came back that next Monday. He put the unit in and it is fixed perfectly now. I've been very happy with it and I'm very happy and comfortable with A-US. They are professional. Also, I appreciate American Home Shield so much. It cost me $1,500 and it would’ve been more than twice that if I didn’t have American Home Shield. They give me peace of mind.

    We had just painted the ceiling and there was what looked to be a water stain that came through right around the time it rained. I was trying to make that distinction on whether it was a pipe leak or a roof leak, or just a leak through stain that was existing. The tech took a look and he told me that it wasn't due to a pipe leak. since that was exactly why he came, it was a short visit. But it was an important visit because it was part of this troubleshooting that we're doing. AHS's claim process is great.

    American Home Shield is doing good. They do the appointments right away. But it's the contractors I have problems with. When they do the work, I'm never notified, "We checked out your air conditioning. This is what was wrong with it and this is what we did." 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." That's what we expect but we never get that.

    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.

    The AC went out on a Wednesday night. I called Home Shield on Thursday morning and they kept right on top of everything with me. Integrity Air Conditioning Services was out on Friday and they were great. Unfortunately, it was an older unit so while they fixed the blower, they had to come back because it wasn't blowing cool air. At that point, the tech told me that it was the main coil, which was not covered under Home Shield so I ended up having to purchase a whole new unit.

    My AC stopped working and the claims process was good. The only thing that I didn't like was when I had a plumber come out. The plumber sent one of their reps here who said that he couldn't fix the problem. But then he said he could do it for me on the side and he offered me a rate. I told him no because if I'm paying insurance, that's not what I'm going to be doing. Then I called AHS and told them that I wanted a different rep. So they sent a second rep that fixed the problem. Overall, AHS has a quick and very smooth service. So far, I'm pleased with their service.

    I thought I had a problem with my pool pump system. AHS contracted with the pool company that they use. But the problem turned out not to be that. It was not a covered item. So I had to pay for the repair. Initially, I had to pay the $100 deductible but then I canceled the appointment because the system started working. Within a few days, it stopped again. So I had to call back and open up a new claim. And AHS collected the $100 again. So I put a request in today to the pool company to make sure that they process a refund for one of the $100 payments which I have not received yet.

    I was having issues with my AC so I put in a claim with American Home Shield and they sent a contractor out. It was easy. But I always have a hard time with the communication because I'm speaking to someone where they speak English, but because of the accent, it's very hard to understand them. And if I had any gripes with AHS, that would be it. The rest of the process went smooth. That particular company has had to come out three times for the same issue. It took them the same day for them to contact me. On the initial contact, they came out the next day. On the follow up, they came out that same day.

    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.

    The air conditioner was leaking so we set up a service and paid the $100. Right Heating & Air came out and they told me that nothing was going to be covered by American Home Shield. We ended up having to pay them another $300. The tech was here for five seconds. He put some glue in a tube, put the tube on the thing, and it was done. I called American Home Shield and asked why I had to pay and they said they would give a call to the contractor. They said they would call me back in 24 hours. That was two days ago.
