    United Air Temp scheduled the service and they came in on time. They said that there are some issues and then they ordered the part. I thought they would come a week after but the next day, they called me back to reschedule. They came earlier than what was scheduled and they changed the part and fixed the issue. They explained to me what the issue was and then after fixing it, they explain what they fixed and how they fixed it. They also gave me some instructions. It was significantly a very good experience and I was really impressed. They’re a very professional company. I’m very happy with American Home Shield. The claims process is very easy. I just go to the website, enter the information and then submit it.

    The heater was not turning on. The technician from United Air Temp Heating and Conditioning came out in a full mask, which I appreciated. He looked at it and he diagnosed the problem right away. He had the part on his truck and he fixed it. That was awesome. I had heard bad things about that company so I was pleasantly surprised. The technician was really good.

    I wanted to use some of the people that we have used before and American Home Shield wouldn’t let us. If I ever have to have the unit replaced, I want to have it replaced with a reputable company. Then I don't like speaking to people in different countries. It’s hard to understand people when they're not in the same country and it's hard to understand accents. That ticks me off and I don't like it. There's a language and culture barrier when reaching out to their customer service.

    They should stop putting their call centers in different countries. They should also allow customers to choose companies instead of them choosing those. There are people in this world who would take advantage and try to pad somebody. That's a problem and that is why they have to go by so many different ones that they have chosen to fix the problem. It would be great to be able to use local people instead of people that are national.

    We moved on January 13th of last year. We had some plumbing problems and neglected to call Home Shield, and it cost us about $500. We learned quickly the value of the program. We had an appliance claim this most recent time and AH Appliance Repair came out. The guy was wonderful, professional, quick, got to the job, and punctual. This is the second time he's been here and it makes it easier if you're familiar with him. He was very much a gentleman. He wore a mask and also kept a safe distance. One thing I'm a little bit concerned about is that it's time to renew our policy. We live in a 1,100 square foot condo and the cost shouldn't be high for our needs. I'm wondering if there is any kind of a price adjustment with the size of the home.

    We had two claims in the same week. Air Pro Master came for the toilet and the guy fixed it. It was done in 15 minutes and he was out of here. There was also an issue with the pressure sensor on the washing machine. Usually, whenever we have a contractor from whatever company it is, they always come and fix it within 30 minutes. Get AHS if you have a new home.

    My furnace was not operating correctly. Fast Response came in and assessed what was going on. Nate was the technician and he educated me on the process. He mentioned that there are more efficient furnaces out there. So I'm looking into that. But overall, he looked at the thermostat and at the thermocouples, and he made sure everything was working well. He assessed that if I wanted to have more airflow in my house, I needed to upgrade the furnace. So he did a good job.

    The claims process is pretty simple. I've done a couple of claims online and if I'm not in front of a computer, I can call the 800 number. With COVID going on, there might not be enough agents, so it's a little bit long of a hold time. But that's understandable, based on what's going on in this world. So it's fine. I like the technicians that they send out. I'm very particular with who I have in my house. So I want to know upfront who was dispatched, and American Home Shield does a good job of doing that. After I have time to research the company that's coming in, if I don't feel comfortable, then I'll call them and they can reschedule and get me another contractor. That's huge.

    The guy was wonderful and everything is working. AHS did what they advertised that they would do. Everything is great but it's hard to file a claim with them if you're going to do more than one claim. I could put one in but it wouldn't let me add anything. So, I end up having to talk to someone to add other things to it. But I love AHS and I've referred three people to them. Two of them already signed up.

    We've owned our house since early 2015 and AHS was part of our purchase. We've been re-upping it ever since. We've used it for a variety of appliances and issues we've had and we've been really happy with it. We always get people who are professional, who do a good job, and who know their stuff. If they can't fix it, then they legitimately write us up for a new product so I had a few appliances installed like a new dishwasher and a new washing machine. We picked up the difference but I definitely think that it’s been worth it.

    I used to have to call. But recently, I've just been doing it online. I get a response within a day and I never had to call a repair person. They always call me the next day. It's usually like, “Hey, we can be out there tomorrow.” It’s not like I'm waiting months to get anything fixed. Most recently, we dealt with a guy named Rodney and he was fantastic. We couldn’t be any happier. He fixed our problem. In the midst of it, I found out that he had to do a few things. I told him to take some time off but he came over and fixed our dishwasher, and it only cost us $75 service fee. It’s been a good experience with AHS. I would recommend it to any of my friends or family having a home warranty. It's such a neat thing to have.

    Recently, I had Super Plumbers at my house and they did what they were supposed to do. I've had American Home Shield on and off for some years and my family uses it too. We have a problem because one of the vendors they sent dented our air conditioning unit's condenser. So, we were without an air conditioner for a week. AHS wouldn't replace it because that was considered normal wear and tear. Vendors coming and tearing a few things should be worked out for. They should be insured and we shouldn't have to come out of pocket for something we didn't tear up.

    Good thing I had a friend who owns an air conditioning company and they helped us out. But I shouldn't have to go to that extent just to get an air conditioner. We complained about it for three years straight. All of a sudden, when we need a new air conditioner, the vendor that recommended we need a new one was the same person that broke it. He didn't say anything so he pretty much tried to screw us out of $6,000 when he broke it. He wasn't reliable or trustworthy at all.

My family couldn't even eat Christmas dinner because we didn't have an oven to cook a turkey on. It should be done. I shouldn’t have been out of stove. We're supposed to stay home and be safe, but how can we do that when we don't even have a working stove? So, New Year's Eve, we're not gonna have a stove either.

    All Appliance was terrific. That was the second time I used my policy and they came in and fixed the issue. The only thing that I disliked is that this was over a week. I had no choice. I had a healing problem last year and it seemed to me the man came out much sooner. The long wait didn't happen the first time, but I have a friend that had been in the same thing. I had to call American Home Shield back and I had to get a second company. It took even longer ‘cause right away they canceled the original person that they set up for me. It was very frustrating and I couldn't get anyone to talk to them. I asked for a manager to call me back and I never got a call back.

    When I have to renew, I'm going to look into other routes because I didn't like the long wait and I can’t talk to anyone. When I started with them, I don't believe that they were using out-of-country customer service. I don’t know if they got too big the way the system is. They send you to the Philippines and I don't like that as well. I don't deal well with these people. It's not against them though. It's an understanding problem. I try to explain what's going on, and it's like talking to a chair. It's hard to keep on saying, “What did you say? What did you say?” I'd like someone from the United States.

    American Home Shield fixed the really nasty plumbing problem that I had. We had a pipe break under the sink, and we were draining water every 15 minutes to try to keep it from flooding our house. They sent a plumber from Stallion Plumbing, and he replaced all of the affected plumbing under the sink, and it hasn't leaked since. He was wearing masks, and I made sure I put my mask on.

    AHS has been very beneficial. Our house is getting older, and we've had some very serious failures of things like plumbing, water heaters, and different things.

    I called AHS on December the 2nd and they sent somebody out here who said there was a missing part. AHS rejected the claim because there were missing parts. On another claim that I made through them, I'd gone on vacation in the summer and when I came back, my air conditioner wasn't working. They told me that they couldn't fix it so I had to get a new unit in the attic. I paid $4,047 for this new unit. For someone to come in and say there are missing parts, I don't know when, why or how it happened. I've been having heat for seven years.

    AHS told me we could get a second opinion. I told them I'm on a fixed income. I don't have money to be giving them $100. I had to go through four of the people from the company and got me all upset. I have elderly people in here. It was cold and I didn't have any heat. The problem was the company that AHS called out before South Belt AC & Heating. South Belt came in here and the guy was up there no less than five minutes and fixed it. There was no missing part. He was very professional and very friendly. But I had been through so much frustration with the last two claims that I made. I'm looking for another company because this is how upset I am and I would not recommend AHS anywhere to any one of my friends.

    I just moved into this house about four months ago. The tub is original and it's over 20 something years old. The drain thing was starting to crack and peel away, and I was concerned about leakage. I called American Home Shield because I wanted to confirm that it was covered. Once we confirmed it was under my coverage, everything went from there. The process was easy. One call and they put it in motion. I was told I would be contacted within was 24 hours if not the same day. The repair guy then came out to see if there was any problems with the connection or if there was any leaking going on and he didn't find anything.

    The tub is really old. It's pushed down in the front like somebody put a weight on it. That was putting stress on the drain. If I stand in the tub or take a shower, I'm going to put more stress on it. It's going to put the tub down, lift the drain up, and then it's going to start leaking. My big concern was that that was going to start happening, but he looked at it and said it looks like it's all connected good.

    I keep looking at my ceiling downstairs to see if there's any water damage and I was wondering, would I be seeing it or not? He said, “Oh, yeah, you'd be seeing it long time ago.” He even went out to his car and got a drain with a pipe attached to show me how it connects underneath. He showed me that if there was a leak, how much water would be going through. It wouldn't be just a little drip. He walked me through everything and he explained it in detail. I felt great after he left. I was glad that he talked to me. I had peace of mind. I know that I don't have to worry, even though it looks like it's a problem. For right now at least, it's not.

    The appointment with Queen Electric went fine. The issue was taken care of. It was something I probably didn't even have to call for. But it was great. The guy was on time and courteous. He showed me what the issue was and fixed it. On the other hand, the one that I had trouble with was an appliance company. They came to fix my microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The guy was courteous. Everything was good. But when he left, he told me I would be able to use my microwave. He said he had to get a few parts. When he left, I thought I would be able to use the microwave because he told me that all I needed was a part. And I thought the part was for the turntable. But when I went to use the microwave, it didn't heat. There was no heating element.

    I didn't like the girl’s attitude when I called on the phone. I said, “I'm going to need him to come back out because he told me I'd be able to use my microwave.” And she said, “Well, I'll give him the message. But I don't think he'll call you back.” That was unprofessional for her to say. Also, I told her my microwave didn't heat and she kept telling me the name of the item that he was supposed to get. It's called a magnetron. I didn't find out until calling American Home Shield that a magnetron is the heating element.

    Why would the tech tell me I could use the microwave and the part was a part that wouldn't affect the usage of it? And the girl on the phone, when I called Creative Connection, didn't handle it correctly because she never called back. Also, I had to call AHS to get them the call to get the bottom-line as to what was happening with my microwave. I told American Home Shield, “After this is complete –” because he does have to come back to bring a part for the dishwasher and a part for the microwave to make it work fine – “I will probably add another appliance company onto my contract so that I'll never get them again.”

    In addition, their price went up recently but I never got correspondence that it would go up. That was sneaky. I paid $55 a month for a long time, and then it went up to $63. The girl that called last year when it would go up gave me a courtesy call and said my account was about to expire. But this year, I didn't get anything. I just saw an increase. But other than that, everything that was handled so far has been fine.

    American Home Shield sent someone out and did what they were supposed to do. AAA was wonderful. It took a long time because they didn't have the part but we're satisfied. Everything else that's automatic is easy. But otherwise, it's very difficult whenever you have an issue. It takes forever to get ahold of someone to answer. You stay on hold for hours and hours. For example, we were wondering the status of the part for the oven and it took a long time to get someone.

It gave me a choice between not cooling, not cooling too much, two or three choices, and other. The problem was that the fan is out of balance and it would make a racket when it came on. There was no place to type that. AHS should give me the opportunity to write the symptoms down a little bit. That would be helpful when they refer the claim to the local appliance repair shop.

    It was very hard to get service in the area that we moved from. The service providers in that area actually stopped working with American Home Shield. When COVID hit, it became even more complicated because they would say we could source our own because they couldn't find a service provider in our area. I'd have to call them before the service provider did anything and we have to get their approval. But these providers were saying, "No, we're not going to sit on the phone," because it was taking us an hour to an hour and a half to get through to somebody. Their time was valuable and they weren't gonna stand there and wait until we got through to American Home Shield to get an approval for them. So we went through a little bit of a hassle.

    We paid for a service provider that came out to work on the air condition during the summer when it was hot and American Home Shield had lots of customers that were calling them. I had to go through their corporate office, and then I wrote a letter to them because it was horrible. But the provider that came out for the dishwasher was phenomenal. He was really good. He was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful.

    If I request service online, it's a piece of cake. But if I have to call, it's very difficult to understand and communicate. Most of the people don't have the same information and I usually get passed off several times. I had that issue last week. We tried to schedule the pre-season check for the heating and air conditioning because we have a brand new house and we don't know how everything works in it, and we didn't know what we really had or didn't have. So I marked heat pump and ductwork, and turns out that we had four units in the house and they aren't heat pumps.

    The service provider that came out put an explanation where it's not a heat pump and he would only look at one and he walked out of the house. So we wasted our $100 with them. They said, "Hey, call us up for a diagnostic and it's $99." But what would have been the difference in the $99 that I would pay to them versus the $100 that I paid to American Home Shield and the way that they handled it? I was very upfront with both American Home Shield and the service provider. If needed, I would have been happy to pay more for more units. But the guy just left, so we won't go with that HVAC company and I'll let American Home Shield know that so that they don't use them again as well.

    When I worked with American Home Shield's corporate office, they were more than helpful to try to get my other resolution on the other situation I had. It was kind of a shame that I had to go through that process to do that because they have been very responsive. But part of it was that area too and that they struggle in smaller areas to get reputable providers or providers that are available on that site.

    The feedback that I've gotten from service providers is that they try to lowball them. So there's a little bit of heckling from their side and negotiating with American Home Shield. They don't want to get paid the lower rates if they know they can work for somebody that is going to pay a different rate, so maybe meet in the middle, and they helped with that. We moved near Philly so I don't think we'll have the same challenges, except for this HVAC guy that was not very polite. But I would recommend American Home Shield to anybody. They've served us well over the years and we've had multiple houses and contracts with them.

We change our filters every three months and we keep up with the date when we change them. I recommend American Home Shield to friends. It's a good company, which is why I keep dealing with them.

    One of my heaters wasn't putting the heat. Two days after I submitted a claim, Piedmont Mechanical Contractors came and fixed the heater quickly and efficiently. Most of the time AHS is totally great. This claim was very smooth and it was probably the best one I had. But, there was one before where it took four months to get by Home Shield because they made a typo on the address when they sent the check. The replacement finally got here still with the wrong address. It was impossible to get somebody who knows what they are doing to fix that. AHS covers the things they say they'll cover to the extent they say they'll cover it. It's just very hard to get in touch with someone when things don't go as expected.

    I've been a customer of AHS for 12 years and I've had very few claims. It would be nice to have a rewards program if a customer has been paying into the program for all these years and hasn't had any claims. But the few times I've filed claims were handled satisfactorily. A recent one was when the oven was not working. It was set, but it wouldn't stay on. I filed the claim and GM Appliance Service came within the day. They did an evaluation and then ordered the parts. The oven was repaired within six days and is now working fine.

    Day's Appliance was very polite and professional when they came out. They're always good. AHS has been good as well. But sometimes they go too many times on repair and I have to pay for the service call each time. So that's been frustrating. When I had a claim for the microwave, they insisted to repair it even though the technician said it should be replaced, and then it caught on fire again. For my refrigerator, the tech had to come out eight times before they replaced it. They repaired a 20-year old air conditioning unit, which seemed silly.

    I happen to be a customer for the last three years and I used to pay less premium like $400 for a year. Suddenly, this year, AHS increased by $250 dollars. I was thinking about shopping around, but I don't have time. That's the reason I'm continuing this. But $400-plus to $600-plus is a big increase. I'm seriously considering and going to shop around when I get some time. I have another service request that's still open. The second thing is about my water faucets and toilet sinks, some leaking. And when the plumber came and saw, and he suggested to replace the faucet handle, he gave me two options. He could either buy and replace and charge to AHS, or we could ask the warranty company if they could replace it free.

    We went with the second option, and I spoke to Moen and they were very kind enough to send me all the handles. It saved a lot of money for both of us. AHS doesn't need to buy all those equipments. So, I'm trying my best to keep the cost down for even AHS. But still, I am asked to pay the $200-plus in the annual membership. That's a lot of increase.

    Recently, my circuit breaker broke and there were also a couple of other issues like the switchboard and my GFCI switch on the kitchen. I thought there would be a bigger issue in the circuit breaker, but it was a simple loose connection. Alejo Electric fixed it easily. Submitting that claim was a simple process. The only thing was, I hoped for them to come on the same day, but they came on the next day. One of my room power supply was cut off. And because of that, the internet was down, and that affected the online schools for the kids. That was the reason why I even told American Home Shield it was an emergency. But it was not in their guidelines that it is an emergency. Maybe with a pandemic, they need to add internet as an emergency thing.

He was very professional. He came in with his PPE. He knew what he was talking about. It was easy to talk to him and strike up a conversation on what needed to be fixed.

    Before that, my Vizio TV had went and the experience was kinda okay. AHS sent out a TV company and they were also professional. They had the TV for maybe a couple of weeks. They sent it back but it was still doing the same problem. I called them and they contacted the insurance company and replaced it all completely within a couple of days. The only thing was the waiting because of them ordering the parts and the parts didn’t get the problem fixed so they went ahead and bought a whole new TV. I was pretty impressed.

    The process with AHS is real simple. You go online and they’d ask you a few questions. Once you are able to give them that, the contractor scheduled to come out would give you a call and set up an arrangement for them to come out and have a look at the problem.

    I submitted my claim online through the American Home Shield website. It's a well-designed site. My claim was an issue with my electrical panel. The tech was professional, wore a mask, and was fast. I was impressed. On the other hand, I had someone come out to look at a plumbing issue that was denied, which was frustrating because I needed to find another plumber.

    The technicians explained that. But the home warranty itself, when it was purchased, was not well explained. My understanding is that the vast majority of potential problems are not actually covered by this policy, which had I known then, I probably wouldn’t have purchased it. And when the claim was denied, I still had $100 for a service call, which is also pretty frustrating. It’s not just at that level, but the real estate agents who recommend warranties are unaware of this as well. So it's not just the consumer facing, it's whatever commercial programs are out there, too. AHS is valuable if you have a good understanding of what's covered, but not so much if it’s not a good fit for your circumstances.

After three days, the techs came out and they did a very good job. Everything was repaired very quickly. I have AHS now for almost 10 years and they're getting better and better.

    Within two or three months, I've had to use AHS twice. The first time was for plumbing and it went really well. The plumber was determined to fix the problem. However, I had to pay for them to remove the commode. That needs to be a part of the cost. If you have a blockage, you're gonna need the commode removed. But that was the only thing with that and the people were really nice.

    The other claim was for my furnace. I had two companies to come out. The first company recommended a new furnace but I wanted a second opinion because I just had a furnace put in in 2014 and I didn't think I needed a new one. That was a hard problem because American Home Shield doesn't do second opinions. But I had the second opinion and that was when One Touch came out. They fixed it. They said the ignition had worn down. The company before them took the ignition off with them. I don't think they thought I was gonna get a second opinion. About five days later, we had a hiccup because the ignition started dropping. The guy came out and before he could open the doors, it dropped and I haven't had any problems since. With the money you pay monthly to AHS and the service fee that you have to pay too, you can save that and put it in the bank. If I would have saved that for four years, I wouldn't have to worry about it.

    I had contractors come out for the heating unit and the garage door on the same day. Diamond Garage Doors & Openers who came out for the garage door was phenomenal. I recommend that AHS continue to keep them in their portfolio. But I wasn’t that happy with the service because the problem with my heating unit wasn’t rectified. The people who came out for that was inexperienced and didn’t know what they were doing. They said they don’t work on that particular area and told me to go do some troubleshooting on my own and to call them back if the problem continues. The problem has surfaced again and I'm waiting on the service again.

    Something wasn't working on my house so I called American Home Shield. We love what we got. They were on point and professional. A guy called me and he gave me the exact time when he was going to come. If it would fit in my schedule, I called him back. I told him I was not gonna be there but I gave him instructions on where to go. The tech did a good job. At first, he fixed the unit to where it was gonna work because he said it needed a new motor. It worked for a couple of days then it stopped working. I called them back and I said the unit was not working anymore. The guy told me he was waiting on the motor and as soon as it came in, he was going to come back and replace it. He called me the next day saying that the motor was in and he came and replaced it. So far, the unit is still working well. Hopefully, nothing else breaks down. But if one does, I hope to get a good experience like I did with American Home Shield the first time.

    The previous homeowners never flushed out the tankless water heater and it kept going into error. The tech explained everything and before he flushed out the system, he let me now how much it was going to be. I told him okay since it had to get done. I didn’t realize that a flush out is not considered under the coverage with American Home Shield because I had to pay for it and I didn’t like that. I paid the $100 deductible and another 225 to flush out the system. So, it cost me $325 for a home warranty problem. Still, people should go for it because I believe in home warranties but they have to make sure that everything is included in it.

    Sometimes American Home Shield's agent takes things a little personally like they're having their own business. They make some decisions regarding their feelings without following the standards of the company. I have friends who have the same program through AHS and they have felt the same thing. Other than that, most of the techs have been very polite, helpful and knowledgeable. Sometimes, they're very unfair to customers like me who have a single-family home and everything is well organized. They try to push the cheapest product to fix the issue but it's not matching. I'm not telling them to give the expensive stuff but the reasonable one.

    A few years ago, I had a problem with my outside recessed lights. The techs came and they were trying to push the cheapest fixtures. So, I said that I will buy the right one and their tech could install it. AHS said that wasn't an option and that it was their job to get the piece that they recommend and put it in. They put in a cheap kind of light that doesn't match the house and so the house value goes down. If a homeowner is willing to buy the right product and give it to AHS to install, it is the same thing. They are saving money because they don't have to spend for the item. It's a huge issue that homeowners are facing not only with AHS but with most of the companies providing home warranty service.

Then, that individual reached out to us via text message to schedule and was here about 10 minutes late. But as far as I'm concerned, he was right on time on the day of the work.

    I was at work, but my wife said he explained one of the outlets. The only issue was it was connected to a GFCI switch. The other one, there was an issue, so he was able to swap that out. Then, he went as far as to check a couple of the other outlets, and found one that was rather loose and took it upon himself to swap that out for us as well.

    This particular claim involves our rental property. They had an issue with the refrigerator. The ice was not being made and it was not cooling. I was the one who scheduled the appointment. I put up a ticket and American Home Shield was supposed to go up to the rental property and look at the refrigerator. That was done. Also, we had somebody come and look at our bathroom a couple of months ago when the COVID was full on over the summer, and we were not happy with the quality of the work and the person who came in. The biggest issue was that he did not wear face mask. When we asked him to do that, he wore it, but it was a very dirty face mask and it was torn. We offered to give him one of those disposable blue masks. He said he did not want. He was respectful. He wasn't loud or anything. But he said no, he was okay to wear his own mask.

    That was an issue because, obviously, I could see that the mask was torn, was very dirty so there was not much protection going on. Also, the person himself looked so disheveled that it made me a little uncomfortable having someone come into our house to take care of something. I called back the office right away because I had my kids in the house. That person should not go to other person's house for servicing.

    American Home Shield overall has been okay. We have had some good companies that have come to service our houses which made me happy about having them. But because of the price increase, and at the same time, even as the cost has increased, we have realized that the quality of the contractors has gone down in the last year or two years. My husband and I talked about it as a family, that we probably need to think about that.

    On Thanksgiving Day, my washing machine blew up. The technician that came to repair it said he's never seen that happen before. He said that when it was on the spin cycle, the suspension rod disengaged. So, it was spinning, it banged up against my wall, at the hole in my wall, and it busted out my closet doors because of the velocity of it spinning. I had to unplug it to get it to stop. Appliance Yikes was awesome because they gave me a one hour window and their tech showed up on time. Typically, when people come out, they give you a four to six-hour window. He said, "I'm coming between 9:00 and 10:00." He got there at 9:15. He serviced it. He said it was unrepairable, which is what I thought, and he said he was gonna file a claim. He filed a claim the next day or that day. All of that went well.

    The whole process after he did what he did has been confusing to me because I got an email that said that American Home Shield would give me $584 towards a new washer, which meant that I had to go and pay for it upfront myself, and then American Home Shield is refunding me. Then after that, I found out that they offered an option for me to pick one that they have and get it delivered. I feel that there was a disconnect between the time the guy filed a claim and said it was unrepairable and the communication with me as to what my options were. I have used my money and purchased the washing machine. It's supposed to be delivered on Saturday. I filed the paperwork with American Home Shield and I don't know how long the reimbursement's gonna take. I filed the reimbursement on Tuesday, so we'll see how long it would take. It said 21 days.

    I used to be with 2-10 Home Warranty, and when I was there and I had things like this happen, they would contact me and tell me what my options were. They sent me a link, I was able to pick from whatever they had in their inventory and that way, I didn't have to come out of my pocket upfront. Now, if I didn't want what was in their inventory, I could take the reimbursement method. American Home Shield didn't give me that option. I was told I had to be reimbursed up to $584. Then, on an email later, it said that since I chose not to go that route, I needed to file the paperwork to be reimbursed. I was like, "Nobody ever gave me that option." It's Christmas, and if I could have kept several hundred dollars in my pocket, I would have preferred to keep several hundred dollars in my pocket. The washing machines are expensive. Other than that, the appliance company that they used was awesome. So, it was a good experience.

I said yes and they showed up. The issue was a faucet that the cold water got hard. The tech did something with that. I had one other incident with the Home Shield itself but they never resolved it. Somebody was supposed to get back to me about it, but never did. After four people called me, they said, "Well, we'll see what we can do."

    They replaced my water heater, but on the phone I specifically asked the lady about the tankless water heater. They have me in a record confirming three times asking would I get the tankless waster heater if I was paying them this X amount of money. It was really bad communication with the English. The rep confirmed three times that I was getting the tankless water heater. But when they came, they installed a regular one. I asked them to reimburse some of the money I paid because I was under the impression it was the tankless water heater, but they never got back to me.

    Overall, Home Shield does a good job. They're very good at responding, dispatching, and resolving the claim. But in handling their concerns, they're not very good. I've talked to three different managers, but none of them were able to step beyond what they were told. I was almost to the point that I was going to go for a different company, but I stayed. They had to go through the investigation to find out if there actually was a case. They said I did have confirmation, but the lady didn't know. But in general, most of the vendors they send out here do a pretty good job. They're pretty knowledgeable people and they show up to do the work and outta there.

    I had two claims put in to American Home Shield. One was for the heating, in which Air Technology came out. They were very good. When I would call the boss, he was super nice. The other claim was for a plumber, which I never got. They couldn't get one to come to our area and so I asked that they reimburse me for what they were going to charge me for the plumber coming out. They did that. That was early in November. It's in the end of December now and I still have the problem. I was just waiting to make sure I got the reimbursement. I got my statement yesterday and I saw the reimbursement was on there. Now I'll get a plumber out here. But then I don’t think I should have had to pay 70 something, 99 for them to come out every month for Home Shield. I also don’t think I should have paid the service fee for those two months when they can't send me out a plumber.

    I have a pump down in the basement and American Home Shield used to cover that. Now, they don't. When the plumber came out, he suggested a new toilet be put in. Then they said to just fix what's there, so he did. At that time, they had a plumber come out but he wasn't local. I'm debating whether to keep them next year because they don't cover it. When I first got this and I needed my dry washer done, they were there right away. I don't know what happened, if they sold it or what, but they're not the same company. Then the last time I called, I waited over an hour for the lady to help me on the phone and that shouldn’t be either. I was not satisfied at all and I would never recommend them to anybody.

    The company had to order a part for the heater that was blowing cold air and anytime they do that, they have an approval thing. I called AHS on a Tuesday, they came out on a Thursday, then it was done the following week. I wasn't happy with the procedure but it is what it is. They were fabulous and got everything repaired. However, it's like every now and then, something falls through the cracks. I got approved for a replacement and they never did it. I don't know what happened with that.

    I have a house up on the coast rented and the most recent claim was put in for a fan above a stove that was not working. When I got ahold of American Home Shield on the phone, I couldn't understand a word the girl was saying. It would be a lot better when you call to put in a claim if somebody spoke a little better English. On the other hand, the guy who finally came and got the product was awesome. He came out quickly to find out what was wrong with the fan, but it took quite a while for the part to come in. There was a lot of coordinating to be able to get there when somebody was willing to have somebody into the house. Other than that, he did a great job.

    The techs from Whirlpool came our for my microwave that wasn't heating. They checked it and determined that they needed to replace the heating element in it. They came and brought everything out after they got the part in. They took every precautionary measure to make sure that everything was where it was supposed to be. They put it back to the area where it was to test it before they hooked it up completely. But they found out that it still wasn't heating so they took it down again. The wires were loose and they fixed it. It's been working good ever since. They were very professional and very nice. They went through everything they thought could be wrong with the microwave and if I had any questions, they were willing to answer any of them.

But the other company called me prior to me having to call them. The tech met me out there at a time that was convenient for me, came in, tried to do a few things to get it to work, couldn't get to work and he ended up replacing it. He was super friendly and it was great. From beginning to end, it was seamless. I've had warranty companies in the past but I have American Home Shield for my external plumbing.

    The washer wasn't spinning and the contractor came out and ordered a part. It took about a little over a week to arrive and they came out and fixed it so everything was fine. So far, it's working. I had American Home Shield a long time ago and then, I picked it up after I retired eight years ago. There are a lot of things that they used to cover but they cut back on some of their coverage. I used to have one of the older units of air conditioner and now, you have to pay for your Freon and all that's a little different. I haven’t had anything bad, it’s just that AHS changed their policies. But so far, I'm satisfied. The one thing I like about it is when something breaks, I don't have to look up a repair man myself.

    American Home Shield was put on the house when I bought it and I just renewed the policy. I’ve had some decent responses and some negative ones. I don't agree with the negative responses. But I have nothing that I can go back with on that. I had two things that happened in the house. I looked at it and it had to be covered. But AHS blew me off on it and told me it wasn't covered. I had to turn around and pull money out of my own pocket.

    The guy from Mr. Rooter was great and was very informative. He turned around and he got in there. I called AHS because he said, “We're going to have to do this first. And if it works, then great. If not, you're going to have to call us back.” I returned the call but I have not gotten a call back from them yet. I was gonna give American Home Shield a call to find out what’s going on.

    AHS has limited benefits so far. I've had to put out about $7,000 of my own money for things that should have been covered through the home warranty. I had issues submitting claims. Techs took pictures and sent them in. AHS said that the claim wasn't covered because it was not something that they covered. I never could understand it because they said it was one thing while the people that took the pictures and the people that work on the unit on a daily basis said it was another. I was told AHS was probably not going to cover the claim because they were going to think that it was something else.

    There was a break in the canister of the swimming pool filter. I was told that was because of the filter being stopped up. The pool people said that the reason the pool filter was stopped up was because of the break in the side. There were bacteria that got in there. It got green and it tore up the filter. The pool people even said that they could write a letter saying that the pool filter broke because of that pole and not the other way around. But AHS said they were not covering it. That cost me right about $1,500 to $2,000.

    Techs also came out and checked on the air conditioner while the air conditioner was broken. The air conditioner guy said they could go ahead and replace the condenser. If they do that, I was going to have to pay about $3,000. It was estimated to be 2,300 to 3,000 to put Freon back into the system. The guy said, “It’s not even gonna work because this thing is broken. We have to repair it because of their stipulations. But it’s still broken, it’s not gonna be repaired. But maybe in a month, you’ll have to call us back out.” They got me a few dollars off of a brand new system because of the warranty but I still had to pay almost $6,000 for that right there to be covered.

    As I’m done with this year, I’m changing warranties unless AHS can turn around and say they made a mistake. I had AHS back in the 2000s and it was wonderful. Now, they have gone to where they don't cover anything. They're just like you driving into a shop for tires. They sit there and they say, “Here's something wrong with it and we're not covering it.” AHS needs to be a little bit more common sensed and a little less trying to dictate what they do and do not cover.

    Our ice maker does not dispense ice and we've been calling on the same issue for three years now. There have been six different trips out here and it's still not fixed. Then we had another issue with our oven. We had carbon monoxide. All of our detectors went off. The guy was here for the icemaker and I thought he was here for the oven. But he said that he didn't do that. He then handed me a business card that he does air conditioning and heating on the side. He didn't even make sure that the icemaker was on, on the front panel. His partner had to tell him to put a different part in before he put an additional part 'cause they replaced the ice maker. So the memory board has been replaced. The ice maker has been replaced and it's making ice now, but it's still not coming through the dispenser.

    When I tried to call the guy from Three Brothers back, he wouldn't answer the phone. The time he was supposed to come got pushed back another week. Then all of a sudden, it was two days earlier than what I was told that he was going to be here. Then he asked me about the oven. He said that he could repair ovens. But he didn't have a work order on the oven.

    A different man from a different company came over and fixed the oven with no issues. We were very happy with that company. The problem was solved. That gentleman also said that he could also do refrigerators. So I told him that I was gonna request for him. But even though I went through the process of requesting this gentleman with another company, Home Shield never responded to me. They sent the same Three Brothers' guy out. I don't feel comfortable with him coming to my house and not knowing what he's doing. Three years is a long time to keep getting jacked around.

    Three Brothers doesn't know what to do to fix my icemaker. When the same company's been out in three years’ time and still not fixed my refrigerator, I don't understand why I keep getting charged $75 every time and it's not fixed. When I requested to get the person that looked at the oven to come out here, there was no response. When I called the Three Brothers back, no response. The communication is horrible. Also, we pay $75 each time on top of what we're paying for American Home Shield. They just keep taking our money and we don't get anything resolved.

    We have used American Home Shield a couple of times through the years. I've had good experiences. We only had one claim so far this year. It was a leak in the faucet extension that comes down. It's a flexible tube that hooks up to the faucet itself, the extension that you pull down to wash out the sink. The plumber that came over was excellent. He did a great job. The problem that we had was he didn't have the part, so he had to order it. That was a bit of a problem because every time we wanted to use the sink, the leak would come. But there was nothing he could do about that and we understood. He was very nice and polite, in and out, fast, and clean. I even asked some of the questions that had nothing to do with the problem of the sink. He took 30 seconds to explain to me what it could be and I took care of it myself. I was very satisfied. Everything was done fair and square, upfront and as fast as possible.

    My home is older so figured it would behoove me to get a home warranty. Plus, one of my coworkers swears by the warranty. So I figured, why not? The most recent claim I filed with American Home Shield was for the dishwasher. It was good. However, you have to read all the fine print, which I didn't take the time to do. When the plumber came out and fixed my sink, that got fine. Then he fixed the toilet. But then the toilet was back to doing the same thing. It did that a couple of weeks after he left and the ticket was closed. He needed to get further into the wall because of the tile but he couldn't do that. So, they couldn't correct the leaky valve in my shower. That was disappointing. But even more disappointing was the fact that about two weeks later the toilet was back to not working properly. And I'm not about to make another claim after I just paid the money for it. I'm not paying another deductible on the same toilet problem. I was mad.

    I love the service for the most part. I call in to get a work order and usually, somebody will be out to look at my appliances within 48 hours. That is wonderful. But if you’re not a computer savvy person, then to get all the replacement is a little difficult. Also, even when you call to talk to a representative, that's a two hour wait.

    I called a work request in and American Home Shield sent somebody out pretty quick so that was a good thing. The only flipside of it was that they said they were not able to repair my appliance so they had to replace them. That was when the headache started. They were gonna replace it with a GE but I have a Kenmore. I have to go out and buy one because I have a wife and two daughters, and I can’t go that long without a washer. The microwave broke before Thanksgiving and they said the earliest they will get a replaceable microwave to me would probably be the first week or second week of January.

    My air conditioner kept going out. In the summertime, it’s 100 degrees. They send somebody out but they can’t repair it. They don’t have the part on hand so they got to order a part which takes two weeks. They don’t say, “The part is gonna come in two weeks. Assuming it comes in, we’re gonna have somebody out there to put that on.” It’s like the part comes in then they schedule you almost another 10 or 14 days before they even get a repair person out there to put the part on to even fix it. I have to do a lot of research in my house for my job. When my study is 95 to 100 degrees, I ain’t doing too much research. What I ended up doing was I had to go ahead and buy another unit. The people they would send out would say the unit is not good. But what they tell American Home Shield is they can repair it. They would repair it then within three or four weeks, it’s breaking down with something else. I've been dealing with that for almost five years.

    I would recommend American Home Shield to my friend because the good outweighs the bad. I have two contracts with them. Sometimes in my rental property, I have issues and it’s easier for me to call and get a repair person over to the house through the company. Some of people that take the phone call are friendly and very helpful. It seems like I always get the ones who are having a bad hair day but like with everything else, sometimes people have a negative attitude and I can understand that.

    When you deal with old people, they’ll give you a piece of their mind. You had a bad conversation with this person so with the next caller you get in, you’re ready to just blast this person because you’re already upset with the last caller. Now, I come in and I’m trying to get some work done. You’re not listening to me and you’re not communicating with me. You’re like, “This is what the company offers and this is all you get. So don’t ask me any more questions.” When I ask to speak to their supervisors, that's gonna be 35 to 45 minutes wait. But for someone who doesn’t really have the money to buy a new appliance right away, it is a great help to have American Home Shield. They are very handy when it comes to saving people money.

    American Home Shield was offered with the sale of the home. I upgraded it because it didn't have everything included. I wanted everything included so it would give me that safeguard. If something goes wrong, I have someone to fall back on and ask for help 'cause I don't know who to trust these days. So, I like to go through a company that has already reviewed and vetted these technicians. So, they know that they're reputable and that they'll do a good job.

    My air conditioning unit upstairs wasn't heating correctly. Usually, when you turn the heater on, you feel hot air. I wasn't feeling hot air. It was a very small and inferior unit. It heats one degree every 20 minutes. So, it's mainly to help with the cooling of the home because it's a two-story, but I have a heating system for the bottom. The service was good. The person that came out was very professional and informative and he answered all of my questions. So, I was happy with who they sent out. They came out the next day. So, it was really quick. He had a mask and everything and he stayed at a distance. He was very conscientious of everyone around him and took precautions.

    Our solution here would have been that I would need to upgrade the system. Since the unit was just installed and under warranty, I opted to go back to the people that installed it to have them upgraded ‘cause I didn't wanna take a chance of any kind of warranty being voided. So, I had their rep come in and give me his expertise. If you call the company that has installed it, they want to add stuff and charge you. So, I had an unbiased opinion from the technician sent by American Home Shield and I paid $75 for it gladly. He was able to give me the right answers, so I know what avenue to take to remedy this. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the experience. It's important that people aren't afraid to use home warranties. A lot of people have them for security, but they don't use them when they need to. That's your tool to get results and to get an unbiased opinion on what is needed. So, it came in handy.

One of them is fixed and there's a glitch with the other one. The guy thought it was a compressor and he put the compressor in but it didn't work. It's a really old refrigerator (17 years old) but he worked hard to try to fix the problem. He was a nice guy. We also had a great guy a few years ago come and fix our dryer. We have an old dryer too (probably 20 years old) and both of them said the same thing, “Don't replace it because the old ones are better than the new ones.” So, we kept the old dryer ‘cause he said these ones run forever.

    We lost the heat and the tech came out on a Sunday and diagnosed it right away. It was taken care of as fast as possible. The switch was sticking and the tech did what he had to do and he was able to get the system to work on a temporary basis. We were accommodated with heat during that period, but the switch had to be replaced. American Home Shield had to order it from a supplier and they got it on a Tuesday then the tech came back the following Wednesday and did the permanent fix. He did an excellent job. Everything is perfect and we’re very satisfied. Our claim went very well. All in all, we're very happy with the work, and the speed in which the work was accomplished. American Home Shield was also very responsive in getting somebody to call us right away, and they did their job. We've been with them for quite a number of years and we're pleased with them.

    The service is great and I’d recommend AHS highly. Everything’s working like clockwork. Everybody called me ahead of time when they were coming. Everybody that came out was real professional and courteous. They have a knowledge of what it is and what isn't. Recently, A-US Air Conditioning of Texas came out because the central heat air unit had to be cleaned. They removed and cleaned the coil and recharged the system. So far, so good. The only problem is I’d set a temperature to hold at a temperature and it goes all over the place. I'll set it at 72 degrees. It’s supposed to kick on when it gets below that and keep it at 72 degrees. It'll kick on and but it'll go as high as 77 degrees before it cuts off. I don't know if it’s connected to the unit or it’s the thermostat control. I was thinking about calling so they can be sure but I talked to the previous owner and he said he just put that in there over a year ago.

    The hot water heater wasn't working. It wasn’t heating the water. I went online and requested American Home Shield for someone to come out. Somebody came out within 48 hours. He came earlier than I thought he would, and he was very professional and in and out. It was a great experience. It would be good if there’s a way in which they can be more of a go-between than us reaching out. When you go online and you submit that there is a problem with your house, then they reach out to the company. There is some type of lag like when my air conditioner was broken. When I reached out to the company, they said they were notified.

    Unless you call them, you're at the bottom of the list. It's almost as if they treat the warranty company as if it's a different type of money. Maybe with the direct out-of-pocket, you'll get a faster response. American Home Shield can maybe reach out and be more of a go-between to ensure that we're being scheduled as quickly as possible to eliminate us from having to take that extra step or that extra stress with waiting on hold for 20 or 30 minutes, and acting as if we're calling from the warranty company. I had one experience that was horrible. But otherwise, the new one restored my faith in American Home Shield.

    On my end, it’s very important if we had a little more access for what is covered and maybe the upfront amount instead of waiting for it to go to authorization so you'll know what's expected when the techs come here. I do think that it’s important to maybe provide a little more education about the policy, or maybe it was on my part not doing my due diligence and seeing exactly what I signed up for, so that they had me skeptical about renewing my warranty with the company. Because I still had to come out of pocket. I'm paying 600 a year for the warranty and still had to come out with additional money. Each time, it’s $100 on top of whatever else you pay out-of-pocket.

    I particularly like HSA's model. I make all my landlords go through them. I got about eight home warranties with them. They went over to American Home Shield but I still work with the people who are with HSA and I'm very pleased with them. It's very easy to get the claim started but I don't like that most of the time when the techs come, they respond differently when there's a home warranty. They'll come out and almost always say, "I got to call in and go away for a couple days." But I tell them, "Oh, no. We're not doing that. You fix the problem. You're not going and leave me for two days."

    I would recommend American Home Shield. Every time we have a problem, we'd call or go online and set up an appointment for us. Everything is good. I like them. One time, there was water coming out from the bottom of the toilet in our master bedroom. The water in the shower would not go down as well, and everything came out black. The toilet in the guest restroom was also not flushing. The water would come up, and then it would stay there. The water in the shower was not going down either. I submitted a claim online and then I was notified who was coming and when. The repair guy came and fixed the problem. He was very attentive. He was good.

    The only thing is I got a receipt that we pay to the insurance. In my receipt from American Home Shield, it says that nothing should be charged to the homeowner, but the repair guy said if he had to do something like get an access to fix the issue, I would have to pay $250 or $350. I put in the report with the insurance what all my problems were, so I was expecting for $75, he'd be taking care of everything, which he did. However, I wasn't expecting that I have to pay if something else happened. In the end, I found the access from the outside of the house that he could use, so nothing was charged, except the fee that American Home Shield has.

    The original claim was put in for the refrigerators. The guy came out and he couldn't repair the refrigerator. I said, “You didn't repair it.” So, then I wouldn't sign the paper that had been repaired. Then he said, “If you won’t sign the papers, then I don't got time for you.” And he left. I called and told American Home Shield about his behavior and they said, “Okay, we're going to send someone else out.” They sent someone else out but that person never showed up. Then, they sent another person out. This guy showed up and told me he repaired the refrigerator and stove. The stove was very important because what happened was right before Christmas Eve, it kept switching to cleaning mode, which would set the house near on fire. It gets extremely hot. The day before Christmas Eve, he told me he had fixed it and the refrigerator when they came out. It burned up the Christmas food - the turkey, potatoes, and everything that we had in the oven.

    It smoked up the house because it switched from the 350 degrees back to cleaning mode. It kept doing it. So, it's very dangerous. You can’t cook in it at all. And whatever he did to the refrigerator, the freezer side would stand a little cold, like a refrigerator. The refrigerator wasn't working at all. Whatever he did, he made that part stop working, so all the food that was is in there was spoiled. And now, when you open the door, it smells horrible.

    I've been asking to speak to a manager since December 11 but nobody would let me speak to a manager. And here comes New Year's, and I just had a very horrible experience with this company. I kept telling them that I don't think the people they send out know what they are doing. And they sent the people out three times now, and they failed. I texted the guy who came out because he gave me his phone number. I told him that I hope he has a horrible Christmas like he caused for me because all this Christmas food was burned up because he told me they fixed the stove, but they didn't. I also told him that I would sue him personally and the company if my house catches on fire. I guess he went back and told this little company. They said they will not come out anymore because of the text message I sent him. I was like, “Well, good.” Because I didn't want them to come back out because they didn't know what they were doing.

    I called back to AHS and the rep tried to send the same company back out. And that company said, “No, we won't go back out to her house.” I was like, “Great.” Then, he had to give me another one. But I shouldn't have to do all that. And why does all the customer service sound like they are overseas? Half the time, I couldn't even understand what they were saying. I hope that AHS makes some changes here.

    When it was right around the time that COVID hit, we were having issues with the icemaker and our refrigerator, and it kept breaking. I kept having to pay the $75 for someone to come. American Home Shield finally authorized it being replaced. But it literally took months and months to get it resolved although I knew part of it was because of COVID. There were multiple times that I was on hold for more than two hours only to be disconnected at the very end. It was pretty bad and frustrating. I went on Facebook and I tried voicing my complaints there. Finally, somebody called me directly and she helped me get everything resolved.

    Prior to that, I was at the point where I was ready to switch companies. I gave it one last go with our heater and it was super smooth, so we decided not to switch. The last service that we had with the air conditioning was fairly quick to schedule. They were here within a couple of days and it was resolved very quickly.

We called regarding our furnace and the girl on the other end wanted to send a plumber (?), after explaining that plumbers don't fix furnaces that we need an HVAC man, she picked a guy and as we looked his reviews they were nothing but complaints and 1 stars due to his service for them.

    Customers explained that they saw him actually break pieces so he could replace them. Needless to say we will not be renewing our Home Warranty, it's not worth the money. The money that's wasted on that could be used on a reputable company that would actually fix your home for you.

He said the same thing the other people said, that the compressor was bad and needed to be replaced as well as the seal. It was $1,400 worth of parts. He would send that off to American Home Shield and let them decide. I was disgusted with the overall experience with AHS. It took four people to come out before they acted on the claim. It’s not resolved yet and so, I haven’t had a refrigerator for six weeks. When the second person came out and said the same thing as the first, AHS should have taken action to replace the refrigerator, if that's what the diagnosis was, that it was too costly to repair it.

    There was a major clog in my main line, so Hometown Plumbing came out and diagnosed that that was indeed the issue. They went to like the cleanout port and went as far as they could, and they ran a line like 100 feet, and they didn't solve any other problem. They said, "Well, it's probably so far. It's with the city. The city needs to come out and do their end." The city came out and there was nothing wrong on the city side. Then, that was it. They said, "Well, you're gonna need to call a bigger company." But this is as much as the home warranty covers. So when we called a bigger company and they came out, they told us that we needed to call an even bigger company because they couldn't run it upline or get high enough psi on their hydro jet. So then, we had to call a third company to come out, and finally, they were able to solve the issue with the main line.

    The warranty didn't cover any of it because they only cover up to 100 feet of like main line cleanout, and it has to be with a cable. It was at like 108 feet and it was at the hydro jet versus the cabling. They fixed our dishwasher issue though. It was spraying water everywhere. Whoever installed it installed an air gap, and there wasn't one that needed to be installed. So, they did fix that problem, which is nice.

    Submitting the claim was kind of confusing at first because they wouldn't let me select multiple issues all at once. But then, the lady that I called explained that you can select multiple things within a certain type of problem. So if it's all plumbing-related things, you can select multiple plumbing-related things. You can't select like a plumbing and electrical. It has to be specific problems. They were able to fix the sink, like the plumbing that went under the sink that was leaking, and they were able to try and fix the main line and the bathroom, like the clog that was happening. They were able to check out all the water-related objects in the house. But if they would have been able to do an electrical, that would have been a separate fee.

He was very thorough as well. I would highly recommend them as a contractor to work with. I'm an ex-mechanical contractor and I'm very familiar with the heat pump system, except I don't have tools to work on.

    The light kept tripping in a room. Beacon Hill Electric sent out Scott and he was absolutely amazing. The breaker box was tripping and he was able to resolve the issue very, very quickly. It was kind of complicated because there was a live wire that was tripping it in a separate room. He was extremely professional and very, very, very nice. It was a great experience. It hasn't always been so with other vendors, but he was exceptional.

    I had a refrigerator issue that the people had come out. They were doing everything that they could. They came out six times but it was never resolved. The refrigerator kept breaking down and we ended up having to replace it. But American Home Shield did not pay for a portion of the replacement. In the process, every time the refrigerator would go out, I would lose all the food inside of it. It wasn't a great experience.

    Calling in when there were issues, it was as if the customer service was just reading from a standardized answer. I would always get the same answers. I would have to explain the problem time and time again and I would not get any real resolution. They would tell me that they were taking notes and there would be a follow-up but then I would never get a call back. That was specifically with the refrigerator. It was very difficult to communicate with the customer service team as well. There was also a language barrier. The customer service experience was very frustrating at times.

    Some of the vendors that American Home Shield uses have been very subpar. I have very high-end appliances, and it's as if they're using vendors who aren't very knowledgeable about the higher-end appliances. Recently, I had a plumbing issue and the gentleman called. He had an incident that day and he was supposed to reschedule, but I haven't received a call back. So that request is still open and pending. It's been about two weeks.

    I put all the information required before the technician came, so he showed up first thing in the morning. He double-checked all the information I gave him. He didn't have the part but he knew exactly the part that was needed. They had it at the shop so he put in a request quickly and waited around 20 minutes. It was delivered and everything was done the same day. He didn't have the part because the most common part that is damaged in these type of dryers is the sensor and in this case, was the heat element. But he had the correct serial number he was able to solve the issue in less than an hour. He took all the precautions. Also, I know it's uncomfortable working with a drier so we left him alone in the area in case he needed to take his mask, because it's crazy for me to demand. I’ve had American Home Shield for a while on this house and in my previous homes, and I never had an issue with them.

    Submitting a claim to American Home Shield and then having someone come out here in a reasonable time is great. They don't make you wait that long and show up. When they're here, they explain to you what they're doing. The techs replaced a few parts on the dishwasher but they’ve been out here three times. It looks like it fixes it temporarily. But then after a wash or two, it goes back to leaking. Yesterday, they identified where the leak was and they tightened a few gaskets. They tried to fix it but it’s still leaking.

    We called AHS to have our range serviced and they decided to send out Sears. It took them three weeks to get to us and on the day that they were scheduled, they sent my wife an email and said they couldn't make it. They also said that they'd have to reschedule for December, which would take another three weeks. So, my wife called AHS and said that we couldn't deal with that. Then somehow, AHS had two different people doing this. Sears was supposed to come out on Friday, December 18th. But then, AHS sent out a guy from Universal 1. It took five minutes to look at the issue and the tech said that he needed to order us a new knob. He also said that it'd probably take three weeks or so.

    My wife then called AHS last Friday, December 18, to double-check to see if our stuff was coming in and if we were getting a service call. The office told us that there was nobody coming. But our part was on order and two hours later, we got a call from Sears telling us that the repairman was on his way. When he showed up, he took a look at the range and in five minutes, he fixed it. Then, he shook his head and said he was sorry and that they get these kind of problems all the time.

    So, somebody in the AHS office didn't cancel Sears and the bottom line is, Universal ordered a knob. If I’d known it was the knob, I could’ve gone and bought one. Plus, when the Sears guy was supposed to come the first time and canceled, AHS automatically billed my credit card, which they normally do. But then, when the techs from Universal 1 came out, I don't know whether AHS billed me for that one, too. But I'm glad the Sears guy showed up because he knew what he was doing. Still, AHS needs to improve their coordination. Also, if anything happens to our heat or our hot water and we call American Home Shield, and they tell us it'll be 15 days before we can get somebody out there, I'm done with them and I'll just cancel the whole thing.

    Advanced Drains and Plumbing handled my issue great compared to the first people that American Home Shield sent out in August. They repaired the same problem way better. Instead of putting a washer on like the other people did, they went inside and fixed the pipes that were really causing the problem. AHS should improve their service because they're really slow. When I called for a repair, I waited so long to get a repair person. The bad thing about it was I had to cut the water off in my bathroom. And, the first customer service rep told me to cut the heat off because it was leaking. My husband is 72 and I'm 68. We were in a house with little or no heat because we had to burn our fireplace.

    First of all, the website is not user friendly. Secondly, it won't allow you to do a submittal on multiple things. It only allows you to put in one item. The website is not comprehensive as well. It's standard, so if there are stuff that's not in their list or it's specific, there's no way you can report it. You got to either say, kitchen, bathroom, or whatever. I was online and I couldn't get in online, so I called American Home Shield and talked to a representative. We bought our house new, and the house is 14 years old, so we've had leaks underneath our different sinks from the same set of valves. The contractor that came out was a good guy. However, my request was to change out all these valves and I didn't appreciate that American Home Shield wouldn't allow me to be proactive and replace them all. If we're gonna fix the leaking valves today, they're gonna come back two months later and have to fix another one and another and another one.

    The thing that I would tell anybody that's considering either buying a home or getting this kind of service is that they got to look at the overall replacement or repair costs. One of American Home Shield's technicians messed up, so we ended up having to replace the entire dual convection ovens. Those are in the thousands of dollars for something that we were getting replaced, which was $50 a piece.

    It's been off and on overall, but I pay a month for that type of coverage compared to if I had to replace an air conditioning unit to be thousands of dollars. If they can't fix it, they replace it. You can't beat the $100 flat rate that they're charging you as well, but the other part of it is, if there are multiple things and you say, "Well, okay, can you call them because I found another issue." They go, "No. This is one work order. We can only have that plumber out there for that one work order." Why can't the plumber call in and get authorization from American Home Shield for another plumbing issue? Those are the things that if American Home Shield wants to improve something, be customer-focused.

When we had an issue with the dishwasher, AHS contacted me right after I submitted the form.

    I get mainline blockages sometimes, and if that’s blocked, then I can't continue to drain them out. I generally need somebody out there really quick and I can’t always get that with American Home Shield. I’ve had an occasion too, where I’ve had to call my own plumber to get it done right away rather than wait three days to have a contractor do it through the home warranty. It would be beneficial to have an emergency situation claim so that I could get it expedited much quicker. Not all claims are the same. I did a claim where a light switch went out and I could have waited a week or two if needed. But the mainline blockage needs to be fixed that same day or the next day.

    Recently, I was having an issue with the pressure switch on my well pump, it just kept sticking on. I did an online request through American Home Shield's website. When I got contacted by Carter Drilling, they came out the same day. It was a father-son team. They were really nice guys. They looked at it and diagnosed the problem right away. They had the part with them in their trucks. They were there for half an hour, they installed a new switch, and it was all fixed. I haven’t had any issues since.

And then when the part came in, the tech called and said that he would be here in 30 minutes. Originally, they had to order the part. But the second time, when they called, the part came in, he fixed it that day. He put the computer board on my husband's side. He was not here 10 minutes. It was an easy slide in and go type of deal. It went well.

    On the other hand, I had a request in for my microwave to be replaced. The microwave came, but it was damaged so they had to order another one. And then when the other one came, they came out to fix it. They ran a test on it. It was working when the tech put it in there. But there was a shortage in the plug. This happened four weeks ago. I called American Home Shield, left messages, and they were supposed to send somebody out here but it hasn't happened. I'm still without a microwave.

    I didn't know what else to do. But I told my husband yesterday that I would call and complain about it, because it doesn't make sense that we can't use our microwave. Nobody has even called to find out what is really going on with the microwave. When I called, they told me they put it in and to wait for whoever is going to repair it to give me a call. Also, there is too much drama going on every time we call. You gotta wait, and then being on hold for two hours before somebody answers the phone. American Home Shield definitely needs to improve.

    When my unit wasn't heating, I called American Home Shield and my expectation was that the repair company was coming immediately. They then worked on my unit and rectified the issue.

    I had an issue with my oven. On Thanksgiving Day, I was preheating it to put the turkey in, and white smoke started pouring out from the bottom of it. I turned it off right away. What happened was the stuff that goes under the bottom of the oven that heats to make stuff cook in the oven burned up. It caught on fire. I put in a claim for it to American Home Shield. It went so smooth. I was very impressed. The guy called and got the information about what model it is. The part was shipped to my house, and the guy came out the same day to fix it. It was just the way it was supposed to be. It was the way I hope it was gonna be. I've had bad experiences with other home warranty companies, so American Home Shield is definitely good.

    My washing machine was making a loud noise. In about a week, Sears came and fixed it. I've used Home Shield in several places and sometimes I have to wait a little longer to get a hold of somebody. There have been times in the past where I felt like they bounced me around a little too much. This last time when I called, it was very easy.

I didn't cancel the claim because I thought it would do it again, but it didn't. He was really nice and professional.

    Most of the experiences I've had with American Home Shield have been positive and cordial. This past time when I called to report was a follow-up. The guy from Fast Response thought he solved the problem by cleaning something but the unit is doing the same thing so I called it in again. A tech came out. Then, we checked the unit for about an hour and it did not repeat. The guy gave me his personal cellphone number and told me that if I have this problem again, look at the code, tell him what it is, and ask for him specifically and he would come back himself. I thought that was great.

    But during the initial contact, I couldn't hear the person when I called AHS. It sounded like they were having a party in the background. She apologized but it took five minutes to report my problem and I wasn't crazy about that. Also, think the receptionists are not conveying the problems to the technicians. All three of the technicians were from the same company, but they didn't know what the background was. They were just saying it was a call. But the technicians were fine. I explained to them that I had a white carpet, so I didn't want anybody walking on my carpet with dirty shoes. They brought their booties or they took their shoes off. AHS has been great. They respond fast and replace parts. The cost is going up each year but it is fairly reasonable. I have recommended them to other people and other people have called them and got contracts with them.

    The upstairs furnace wasn't working. Eagle Heating and Air of Georgia came out and changed the thermostat the first day, and they set it but it wasn't getting hot. And then, they had to come back the next day to work on the furnace itself. They said they had to clean it. I called American Home Shield again, and then they sent them back out to come back and check it again. They had to clean the equipment itself. The tech said he had to clean the heads or whatever they called the parts up there. Then, it started getting hot. It's great because we're warm.

    I love American Home Shield because when I called them, contractors were sent right out. The first day, they had dispatched me to someone else and they said they couldn't come out. I called back and the lady said, "Let me work on it. I'll see if I can get someone," and she got someone to come out the same day. I love it. Get American Home Shield.

    My brother, who lives in Woodstock, has coverage with American Home Shield and he told me about it several times a while back. Then, when I realized that I needed to go ahead and make sure I was covered, I got the warranty. Recently, I had issues with my heat. I have a heat pump and it wasn't heating. It was blowing out cold air and I didn’t know what was going on with it. So, I went online and submitted a claim with American Home Shield. I got an email back immediately telling me about some people in my area that I could choose or if I wanted them to choose one for me. So, it was a very good and easy process.

    Then they sent out the tech from Southern Comfort and he went through the entire process of checking everything. Then, he said that there were some problems with this unit because it was older. He contacted the person at his office and they said they needed to replace it. Since then, they have contacted me to let me know about the replacement.

    As for American Home Shield, they gave me my amount on what I needed to pay. So, at the time when I got that original email to tell me what I was going to have to pay, I was not at home. So, my husband and I talked, then I contacted Southern Comfort to let them know that we wanted them to go ahead and replace the unit. They explained to me that they were going to have to order the part and the time to get everything in. I told them that with the holiday coming up, and it's so close, a lot of people aren't working for two or three days this week. It's going to be after the holiday that they can come in and replace the unit. Right now, I'm looking forward to Southern Comfort coming in and putting in my unit, and continuing to have a good rapport with them. But even when they came out, the technician was very professional and knowledgeable. He was also very down to earth and comforting.

    I was lucky enough to get the appointment for my heating claim on the same day itself. The tech arrived and looked at the work that was needed. There were just some missing parts that he had to tighten and replace. The job took about 30 minutes. He was good. American Home Shield is a good option to consider. I've used them for years. I go to the website to submit a claim and it is the easiest. It has all the options that let me choose what I need to be repaired. But when something specific is needed and I can't find that option online, that's when I call in.

    The tech from Appliance Connection did come out, but he told me there wasn’t anything wrong with my washing machine. It was still washing. But before that, it wasn't doing anything for me. And still, when I was trying to wash, every time I had put some clothes in there, it wouldn’t do anything.They hadn’t charged me so far. We’ve been living in our house for a while and we saw that things probably will be breaking down soon, so we just decided to get the warranty. I'll tell others to get American Home Shield.

    The fabric softener dispenser broke on the Maytag washer. I went on American Home Shield's website and followed the process of filing a claim on the computer. It was really simple. Then, the tech from Tate came out, looked at it, ordered the part, and came back in and installed it. The only thing I wish they did is left a voice message when they called. The part apparently came in a week before they came back and they called to let us know that the part was in and that we could set up a time for them to come back. But when they came back, they got here before the window they gave. The experience was seamless and very painless. It's nice to have this sort of backup in case something breaks at the house and it’s fairly easy to use.

    Water was leaking from the bathroom into the bedroom and it caused the bathroom floor to get wet. Cribbs and Son came out and the guy fixed the drain, pulled some stuff out of it, and looked like he replaced a part, but he didn't take care of the water issue. I went in there and he said I have to have a pipe replaced but that they don't do that kind of work. Also, he said we needed to get a new bathtub because there were cracks in the tub allowing water to seep in and that's why we're getting water in the bottom of the wall.

But the other claims - a leaking washing machine and a leaking tub - were fixed on the same day in under an hour. Also, the dudes were super polite.
