    I would recommend American Home Shield. Everything was processed in a timely manner. You know about your appointment ahead of time and on the day of, and it was an easy transaction. When I called to set up an appointment, they gave me the name of the contractor that had been assigned to our case. Then a lady from called me and got me in two days later. Whenever the guy was on his way, he gave me a call to let me know he was coming. The air conditioner was clogged up and he cleaned that. We were about a pound low with freon and he put freon in.

    I've been a longtime customer. I had a number of issues here in the past month with various things. But overall, it has been a very good experience. Sometimes, it's difficult to talk to a live person, but I managed this last time after a while. I finally talked to somebody because I selected the number two option or a number two group to come out and take care of my problem.

    They came out once and didn't fix the problem. The handle fell off, the guy came out, but it fell off again five weeks later so I got charged $75. That was a little bothersome. I needed the whole thing replaced and that's what I wanted to do. So, I wanted to make sure I didn't get the same contractor. I felt they would just stick the handle back on. But it's a different faucet system now. They had it there. They had one choice for me that the contractor had with him. I just wanted it to work. Mike was the person who came out and he was very informative and professional. I would recommend American Home Shield.

    My door wasn't going up and down anymore. I called American Home Shield for a claim and that was easy. It was over the phone and I just talked to the automated part of it. They set an appointment. The contractor was polite but I had to pay them 200 and some dollars to fix the problem. Their tech said the issue was the springs on the side of the door that makes the door go up and down. I was satisfied with American Home Shield and I recommend people to them all the time. I gave them my neighbor's information as well as that of my friends.

    When I scheduled the appointment, the rep from American Home Shield told me someone would get in touch with me within 48 hours. But Bill’s Plumbing took about a week before they came out and that was my only bathroom to use. Other than that, the gentleman knew what he was doing and got it fixed quickly. I've had two calls to AHS for repairs and both had been repaired successfully.

    Appliance Repair Service repaired a fan in the microwave and there was a clog in the dishwasher. I called on Wednesday and the tech was here Friday. He probably would’ve been here sooner but we couldn't accommodate until Friday when somebody was here. He was a good guy and I will recommend him. So far, everything has been fast and accommodating. We had Sears for many years until they closed and AHS is better. They've done everything I've asked.

    I've had a great experience with American Home Shield. They've replaced my washing machine, dishwasher, and garage door opener. If they couldn't fix something, they replaced it. When I had a clogged washing machine drain, techs came out within two days. They snaked the drain and cleaned it up. Everything has been working fine. American Home Shield has been excellent.

    When my AC failed, I paid 100 bucks for the service call and had someone to come out and have my air conditioning work done. It took them 24 hours to get ahold of me after I made the claim. I reached out to them then it took another three days for them to come out to my house. The first time the technician came, he fixed the unit to where cold air was blowing. But he didn't fix the problem. They had to come back out and attend to that.

    The water heater had a leak and when I called American Home Shield, they sent the contractor. I wasn’t here when the first guy came but he shut down the water. He should check a little bit more though where the water was coming from. He didn’t leave us the cold water. But when I called AHS back, they sent the guy back and he did what he was supposed to do. I was happy and I will call my friends and my family members, and tell them to go with American Home Shield. I never have any trouble with them.

    I put in my initial request on the 28th of August. It was in reference to my refrigerator that kept shutting off from the breaker box. First, American Home Shield said that they were gonna send an electrician out. I asked, "If you send an electrician out, do I have to call for the request for the refrigerator?” They told me no. When the electrician came, he checked the breaker switch and a breaker box. He said it was short, so he changed it. Then he told me that he was putting in a request for an appliance guy and left. American Home Shield said that the electrician found that there was nothing wrong with the breaker box but he did find something. He changed another switch instead of the refrigerator switch.

    When I called for the appliance guy to come, American Home Shield told me I had to put in a new request and I couldn't understand that. When the young lady went to investigate and looked at the notes, she came back and said the refrigerator was not not on the system but the claim for the garage was. I told her that was from a different week from a request that I thought was also involved with the breaker box. She told me I had to put in a new request for the refrigerator and I told her my original request was for the refrigerator. I was told that if the appliance guy says that there’s nothing wrong with the refrigerator, they’ll send the electrician back out with no additional charge.

    I had to pay for the appliance guy that came. He pulled out the refrigerator and checked it. He said there was nothing wrong with it. He said that if it was the refrigerator, it wouldn't be working at all. When he went to put the switch back over to the refrigerator, the box was hot. He said, “There's gotta be a short over here.” He believed it was the refrigerator. The next morning, he called me and said he reported it. He wasn't treated very nicely.

    I called back to American Home Shield and they said that I would have to pay again because I have to pay for the electrician to come back out. So I did pay the $225 for one problem. The electrician should have checked the refrigerator switch because that was what the original call was about, to make sure that the switch wasn't short. He did not do that. He came yesterday and put the refrigerator switch on. The refrigerator hasn't cut off any more after that. American Home Shield needs to give me my money back. The have foreigners doing these requests and they are not good in English. I've had to keep repeating the same thing and one of them hung up on me. I have called American Home Shield two or three times, and I never had problems from them until this incident.

    By virtue of an inspection on the home that we're selling, we had some write-ups on the inspection, and one of the write ups was the upstairs shower faucet didn't have a stop. For the shower mixer, when you turn the handle, it kind of hesitated or hit a little spot, but you could make it go 360 degrees. Nick from 5 Star Air Quality came out and said it was the mixer valve. He pulled the mixer valve because he couldn't figure out what the brand was.

    We were moving and almost four days later I was told we were closing off parts of the house as we got the stuff out. We had gotten the stuff out of my office which is downstairs from that upstairs shower. We had a desk left there that we were selling. When I went to show it, I was sloshing in water in the carpet. I thought it was my hot water heater because it's about four feet away in the garage, on the other side. But I went and looked at that and it was upstairs.

    I went up there and saw water trickling. I pulled my phone out real quick and videoed it. It was the valve on the hot side. There was water coming out of it and it was leaking straight down the wall. Nick left the handle and the faceplate off, which I wouldn't expect otherwise, but the valve is inside the wall. I turned the valve and closed it and the water stopped. Nick believes the valve is bad, and maybe it is. I love the guy but we had a non-leaking faucet and when he left, the walls filled with water. We are now in our seventh or eighth day of drying. I had to call out a first response there. I'm kind of an insurance ignoramus, so I was trying to get ahold of American Home Shield and 5 Star. But the gal that answers the phone for 5 Star, unbeknownst to me, had a sinus infection for five days, and I was getting no answers from anyone. Nick's on the road. He's busy and not answering his phone.

    I finally called first response about two hours later then they got out about two hours after that in the eve. By then, it was 5:00, and they started treating it. There's still one fan left, and it should be done tomorrow but they had to pull some drywall off. Nick is on the schedule to replace the valve tomorrow because American Home Shield turned down my claim.

    The gal that I finally got a hold of, all she could read up was this thing saying that somebody would get back to me within 24 hours. This was when I had just fixed the leak, and I was trying to figure out a way ahead. English is not her primary language. Maybe I missed some nuance but I've been overseas a lot and I couldn't get her. They have that menu of what they can say and can't say, and I understand that. But that doesn't make me less frustrated because I felt like I should be able to talk to the supervisor. In fact, I became so irritated.

    Every time I have something done, American Home Shield finds somebody or does it the cheapest way as possible. I had the hot water heater go bad recently and instead of replacing it with the original model, they went out and they put me on hold for five days, and I had to wait with the water heater leaking. They found a cheaper model to put in and that's not right.

    About a year ago, I had a furnace problem in the middle of winter. American Home Shield sent some guys out here that I didn't feel comfortable being around because it was some off-brand company that I've never even heard of. But they did their job and left. I don't know why American Home Shield couldn't get a well-known company to come in and work on it. Also, I didn't realize in my contract that American Home Shield doesn't cover if the contractor had to be doing some repiping. I had to pay for that out of my pocket. Plus, I had to pay the deductible for the guy to come out and look at it. So then it cost me almost $300 more than what I thought it was going to. With the experience I've had with American Home Shield, I'm really considering getting another company.

    It's always hard trying to get through. I've waited as long as an hour, hour and a half. I hate when something breaks, because it's a problem trying to get through. But as soon as I talk to American Home Shield and they give me my person who would fix whatever needed to be fixed, I'm fine. The contractor did a great job. They did my sink. It seemed like it was clogged. And my guest bathroom was leaking. I've had American Home Shield for at least 15 or 16 years. I had them before in the old house. And I've been pleased. It has been a great help to me because having to find somebody that is reliable and do good work, that's something that they do that makes me happy. Because if I was a man and I could fix some of these things, it would be great. But that's not the case, and so I enjoy the service. I enjoy that there is an option.

    I paid for a plumber to come out. He came out but he didn't even look at the problem. He tried run a snake and said it was a blockage. Then, he left. I wasn't satisfied because telling me it was a blockage didn't mean too much. He didn't say whether it could be unblocked. So, I ended up paying again for plumbing services and AHS sent the same guy out. He went to another area of my home and looked behind my washing machine. Then, he went to my bathroom where I was having a problem and he looked. He didn't touch nor do anything, and said that he couldn't do it.

    AHS never came back with an explanation. They just said the contractor said that it was not covered. I asked why it wasn’t it covered. I have a blockage and the guy didn't give any detailed information about it. AHS told me that I can get a second opinion but if the second opinion comes out and says it’s something that’s not covered, then I have to pay. I should not have to pay because the person who came out never did anything. I haven't got anything written to fill me in detail why the technician felt like he could not repair it.

    My services with American Home Shield are usually well, except for this last time, which was terrible. I'm very dissatisfied. This guy didn't even seem like he was qualified to even do plumbing work. Anybody can get a snake and try to run down and see that there's a blockage but the contractor was unskilled in explaining in depth about the blockage. I recommend AHS to a lot of my coworkers but it's just this time, I've had a bad experience and they don't want to rectify.

    We had a problem with the flapper on the toilet and Murray's Plumbing came out and replaced the flapper part on the inside of the tank. Also, there was a problem up in the shower head and so they had a shower head that they swapped out. Everything is perfect. I made the claim through the website for American Home Shield but it didn't ask me for any details. It just asked me if it was plumbing. They usually ask you to write out a description but for some reason, I didn't get that on the site. Also, the site could be more user-friendly if it had radio buttons to let you select not just one but multiple things happening.

    I was a little worried about what was gonna happen because of the website, so I called Murray’s and told them what was going on because I didn't want them to come out here and not be prepared and have to come back another day. They were great. They went above and beyond in helping us out. They've been out before for another issue and I like them because they're family oriented. American Home Shield has been there for everything. They haven't backed out nor dropped us and they've done exactly what they said they were going to do, and I've been impressed with that so we have now both homes covered by American Home Shield.

    I had a leaking shower head. It was squirting out all over the wall. I called it in on a Friday, but the company couldn’t get out until that Monday. Then the technician was also still kind of late on the time that the company gave me. I called first because we were getting down to the last two hours of the block time that they had. But then finally, the technician reached out to me saying that he would be running late. He kept me updated. They have an app and they share it to show where he’s at on route. I appreciated that he gave me courtesy calls. If he hadn't done that, then it would have been a problem. He was perfect and quick. The shower head's working good so far.

    American Home Shield is good. They send specialists out when you have an issue. I had a leak that went from the upstairs washroom down to the bar. It was 4:00 in the morning when I noticed it ‘cause I was on my way to work and I filed it online as a leak right away. As soon as I put it on American Home Shield, I already had it assigned to someone. Then at 9 o'clock, I called the company right away. Initially, the plumbing company didn't come when they were supposed to come. They came a day later, but AHS did their part.

    The guy came, was out here 10 minutes, pushed the little plastic thing in and said it was my water softener. He just looked at it. I asked him to check to see if it was a pipe, and he said, “Well, if it's not leaking since that one day, then that's not what it was. It was your water softener.” I said, “That was the first time it ever leaked ever. So, if you're not checking anything, how do I know it's not gonna happen again?” He said, “Oh, it won't.” He left it at that.

    My AC unit wouldn't cool. The techs submitted the paperwork to American Home Shield and they're looking into it and trying to figure out what's the deal. I'm waiting on them to approve my claim. I'm pretty puzzled as I don't know what's going on. It's taking too long for them to approve it and get the techs back out. I talked to AHS a few days ago and they said the technician didn't give them enough information.

    I had a leak at the top of the ceiling in my kitchen. The plumber did what he could do. He told me that he couldn't really fix the leak because the caulk was not sealed all the way on my tub and he couldn't pull that up because it's not under warranty. He told me what I needed to do to fix the problem. He said to call back if that didn't work and it was still leaking.

    This claim was done kind of quickly. Sometimes, the stories I hear about AHS are not very favorable but this experience was good. I would want their plumbing contractor to come back. He seemed very knowledgeable.

    The on and off valve for my washer was leaking and I made the claim to American Home Shield on my app. I loved it. It was so much easier than having to call and wait on hold. The first contractor was supposed to be at my house between 11:00 and 1:00. They showed up at 9:30, which was perfect, and they had the repair done within half an hour. They changed the bushings on the faucet.

    I also had an issue with my bathroom. My toilet was going down but it was making noises like air that was there in the system. The contractor said that something might have been in it and it might have gone through. He was very courteous and explained what he was doing. He was running the water in the shower and flushing at the same time. He must have flushed 40 times to make sure everything was okay so that whatever might have been clogging had been pushed through from all the flushing. On the same claim, my shower was not draining. It has this little grate over the hole for the drain that comes up. It's not even mounted down. So I picked it up and there was a little bit of hair on it, and I cleaned it off. But that's gonna be a pain. The plumber said the drain was maybe an inch to an inch and a half wide, so it's clogging. If a little hair gets on the grid, it backs up.

    This morning, my feet were in an inch and a half of water instead of it draining down. Whoever put the shower in only put an inch and a quarter drain pipe in there according to the repair guy and it should be much larger than that. The shower is still having issues and I don't know if AHS would turn it down first, saying that this is not a covered issue or if they'll go ahead and send through and then say that they’re not going to cover that. Everything I've done was all interaction over the internet. I'm gonna have to call them and see. Still, AHS is great. I've only done the plumbing and everything has gone through. There wasn't anything that was turned down.

    I had two service orders out for plumbing. One was for an ejection pump and one was for the water heater. There were two different companies that came and the process was incredibly easy. The last home warranty company I've had for the house never had any contract providers in the area, so if I would submit a claim, I'd never hear back and months later, they would come and say, "We don't have anybody that can do that. You have to get someone yourself." But American Home Shield has never done that. You put in a claim online then somebody calls you and comes out to see the problem. With American Home Shield, they make it very simple. The combo plan covers mostly anything in the house.

    Submitting the claim to American Home Shield is very easy. You go online and click on three things. You say AC, what kind of AC unit it is and what's wrong with it. It's very simple and once you select those, it goes to the payment screen. Then, once you finalize the payment, they will say who your contractor is and that they will contact you shortly here, and you'll receive an email confirmation, etcetera. It was a very smooth process.

    The first contractor that AHS sent was Airboss. They came in, looked at the AC and said that it was working fine. But on the handwritten report, it said it needed maintenance and they reported to Home Shield that there was nothing wrong with it. But the AC still wasn't working so I had a second opinion. Ace Heating & Cooling came out. The tech listened to what I had to say and fixed the issue. So it's working good and it was taken care of fast. AHS is a great company. They're insurance so they're not just gonna replace things. They're gonna fix it first so they can't replace it and I understand that. It's a nice little feature to have on your home.

    The blower motor on the furnace for the AC would cut out after it was on for about 7 to 10 minutes. When the contractor came out, they initially thought the motor was bad. When they came to replace the motor, they said they didn't have the right bracket. But then the guy said the issue was a loose wire. That seemed to fix the problem with the blower motor. But then they had to come back about a week later because the compressor outside stopped working. So they replaced the capacitor in the compressor. It seems to be working since. All the tech seemed real nice. The only downside was on their second visit, they gave me a window of 9:00 to 2:00 but they were running behind that day and they didn’t show up till about 5:30.

I did a claim online with American Home Shield and I normally do it that way because customer service reps over the phone never know what they’re talking about or they hang up on you. The techs who came for the were great. But I called American Home Shield and asked them stuff. They sent me an email and said it was some price. I called and they said my appliance was not covered. I asked them to explain what was not covered and if they were going to replace my water heater.

    On my receipt, it only said what was not covered, which was very unprofessional. I wanted an itemization of what I paid for. The techs did not replace the drain on the floor and the two tubes for my water heater only cost $35. But I paid $327 and no one explained what that was for. The wife of the owner of the repair company called me back and she ran down itemization of everything they were supposed to do.

    Other than that, the techs were professional. I just did not do a follow-up call with American Home Shield because it has been impossible trying to talk to somebody from there.

We decided to just replace this washer and dryer. But when Best Buy came to remove the washer, they said that there was a plumbing issue with the hot water. Now, we're having plumbers come out again because they can't detach the water hose at all from the washer because it will just leak.

    When I submitted a claim with AHS, the techs came out the next day. The system ended up being frozen and needing some filters replaced in the attic. The tech told me what to do, how long to wait, what settings to put on the system and I followed all his advice. It's back up and running just fine. However, the contract of AHS is not super clear unless you read the entire thing. It's not super clear what your obligations are in addition to the booking fee or trip charge. But other than that, the booking process and the speed that they got somebody out were great.

    I called American Home Shield for a claim and got a female foreigner that I could hardly understand. Before I put in a claim, I am charged the $100 service fee so I wanted to make sure my issue was covered. I asked a simple question, had the contract in my hand reading it. I was explaining the problem to the rep but she kept going all around so I asked her to let me speak to somebody else but she wouldn't let me. She said she could get me to someone else but she was trying to help me. I told her I was not liking the way she was helping me. She said she would just put me back in the call rotation. She was rude and she hung up.

    I called back and got a guy who was perfect and able to take care of everything. I explained what the problem was with the garage door opener. The guy said that I was covered and put in the claim. A tech named Justin came out for the repair in a timely manner. Once he saw what the problem was, he got the motor, came back the next day then took care of the issue. Now, my garage door opener is working fine.

    I've been with American Home Shield for years. They need to screen some of their workers a lot better. In the company I work for, we also vend out some of our work. The people, particularly the cheaper ones, are not always better. American Home Shield can vend out some of their work to some people that can get the work done.

    My experience with American Home Shield was horrible. The men that come are very nice. I have nothing against them, but they don't know the first thing about fixing a machine. Before the guy left the last time, he said, "Oh, it's increased now. It doesn't cut off as fast." I said, "Well, that's wonderful." He walked out the door, I went to do a wash, and there was no heat. They have not fixed it. Now, I had called them once before about the same machine. They told me, "Oh, you have to blow out the thing." I had the vent blown out twice. It was not the vent. Then, they changed all the circuits. It was not the circuits. Then they said, "We have to order a thermostat", so they ordered a thermostat and put it in. It doesn't cut off as fast, but it's not drying a wash. I'm pouring out money, and the dryer has to be replaced. If they cannot fix the machine, the warranty was supposed to replace it. I am extremely frustrated.

    Also, their customer service number has the same woman that answers the phone, and you can barely understand her. When I tried to explain my situation, she just said they have to talk to the contractor. I said, "Okay." Then she came back and said she couldn't reach them. She said, "We'll call you later after I've reached them." That was maybe 8 o'clock this morning, and I have not heard from them since.

    On the small stuff, Home Shield is good, but on the bigger stuff, it's not so good. It depends on what the issue is, but this most recent claim went great. It was for a gasket replacement on a refrigerator. The repair company had to order it, but it was slick. They did the first part of it via video. They asked me to take a picture of the refrigerator, then the ID tag from the inside. Took a picture of what was wrong with the refrigerator. In 45 seconds, they said they’d order the part, and it might be a while. A few days later, they said they got the part in a lot quicker than they thought. The guy came out, put the part on, and that was it.

    In September 2020, our real estate agent purchased for us a one year policy with American Home Shield as a gift towards our newly purchased home. The policy expires this month and I received multiple phone calls and emails asking us to renew. My husband and I were considering renewing but knew we had until later this month.

    Today, I found out that American Home Shield went ahead and charged our old bank account which we have not used in months to renew. When I called to ask how they could do this, they said that our real estate agent signed us up with auto renew and provided our bank information. Whether or not our real estate agent was acting in the best interest of us or whether that is her right, it is completely inappropriate for a company to charge another person's account with their permission and after asking us if we wanted to renew. I have asked for a refund and they are saying they cannot. I have cancelled service with this unethical company.

    If you open the door while the microwave was on, it would trip the breaker. The technician came out and asked me some questions. He proceeded to change out a switch and provided some operational instructions, and within about a half hour, he was done. Submitting the claim to American Home Shield was simple. I have a premium plan, so all I have to do is pay $125 every time I call, and that covers parts and labor.

    The only time AHS didn't cover parts and labor was on the previous call when the contractor had to replace a toilet flange in the basement that was broken. So at that time, AHS covered up to $1,000 of the repair and we had to cover 300 in addition to the 125. If you've got appliances, they’re going to break down. It's just a matter of time. You can either cover those costs out of your own pocket or you can use something like American Home Shield. They've been very good. I've called them five times and had great responses every time.

    I’ve had numerous claims through Home Shield, and I'm disappointed in the service that I've gotten over the years. A lot of times, when people come out here, they don't want to do the work. For example, the air conditioner people that came out this last spring told me that I needed a new unit. It was going to cost me $7,000. All we did was put coil in it. It cost me $100, and it has worked perfectly fine during this hot summer. I will never use those air conditioning people again. We've been shopping other services over the last couple of weeks too. However, this recent claim, by far, was the best one. Everything was perfect. My garage door wasn't working and the tech resolved the problem on the spot.

But then, we realized that there was some type of clog in the main drain line because when I took a shower upstairs, the water started leaking from underneath the toilet in the basement.

    The problem that started with my garbage disposal, when I called back, the contractor came out in a couple of days. They had an opening available so they called me up. The two folks that came out were very nice, professional and did a great job. Unfortunately, it sprung a little leak underneath my sink. Someone has to be here between certain hours for them to come back to redo something that should have been done right the first time. But we're all human and things happen. I'm certain that when I call them back, they will come back out and take care of it.

    A lot of people are wary about aftermarket warranties. I'm in the automotive industry. The feeling that I get from talking with a lot of people when they come in to say, “I have a warranty and it says it covers everything,” is that they're possibly misled. That has nothing to do with me, because I understand what my policy covers, and I'm not blind. But in general, American Home Shield has been fine.

Then, also, they keep up with reminders. Palmetto Appliance Professionals recently came out and the tech was very personable and he's come to my house several times over the years.

    I've had problems with vendors in the past. I kept telling AHS that somebody who used to come to fix my air conditioner all the time wasn't nice. He talked down to people. But every time something broke, AHS would send the same guy. Also, AHS should make it a little easier to get in touch with them. When I call, I wait for a long time on the phone just to speak to a representative. Other than that, having this warranty is peace of mind for me because if I don't have a lot of money to put out all at once to get something fixed. Recently, my dryer was smelling like rubber and it was making a high-pitched squeaking noise. About five days after I submitted the claim, the tech came. It would have been great if it was a little sooner but he fixed the dryer in a matter of minutes.

    It took three days to get an appointment. The techs were here the first time for half an hour and found out it was a blower fan motor issue. The contractor didn't have that in stock and it was a week to order the part. It took another week to make another appointment but that didn't fix the problem completely. So it took another week to make another appointment, and another week to get the second part in. It was a lot of waiting. But the system works great now. However, communication wasn't that great on the part of what needed to be done. I still don't know what was done completely. They weren't clear or forthcoming about that at all. They didn't really send me a descriptive invoice either from American Home Shield on the website.

    My air conditioning thermostat was not working correctly, and this is the second call out on this same problem. The first call out a couple weeks ago, it looked like it was just a loose wire and they thought they fixed it, but apparently, there was something that wasn't connecting correctly. With this visit, the gentleman tore the whole thermostat apart and realized that it wasn't working correctly. He evaluated the situation, put in a new thermostat, and had my air conditioning working the way it should. It was quick. The benefit of having American Home Shield is the availability and knowing that they are there. I was very comfortable, and the gentleman that came out was very courteous, professional as well as explained and looked at everything. It was a very nice experience.

    Everything has taken a long time to be done. You have to go through all these steps. Home Shield writes everything down. They ask you things over and over again every time you call. But the notes are right there. Then they have to write notes all over again. There are too many people on your case, so you don't talk to the same person all the time. So you're constantly repeating over and over again what is going on, which you have already done originally and each time you call in.

    The ceiling fan broke down and it was a mess trying to get the contractor to come out, check my fan, and fix it. When I finally had somebody to come out, the contractor looked at it and they felt that the fan was working. I kept telling them it doesn't work properly. The tech said, “Well, look. It's working right now.” But as soon as they left, I turned the ceiling fan back on, and it wasn't working properly. I wasn't getting the three levels that I was supposed to get.

    I called back Home Shield and they said, “Well, we have to call them and recall them back out.” But the contractor kept refusing. I asked Home Shield, “Okay, if they’re refusing, why can't you get me another contractor?” But that took a long time to do. Finally, a different company came out. They saw where the problem was and put a fan in because it wasn't fixable.

    When I had the problem with the refrigerator door and called Home Shield about it, I had to pay 100 down. But the man never came out. So Home Shield cancelled that order, but they never sent me my money back. Then the contractor that came out had to come back a second time because the refrigerator wasn't fixed. The tech came and said, “I've told you before. You need a door.” I asked him why he wasn't telling that to Home Shield. Home Shield was saying that it was cosmetic. The tech said, “No, it's not cosmetic. You definitely need a door and they need to replace it.” I finally got another call from someone in Home Shield and she told me that it would take 10 weeks for the door to be fixed. So I have to use another refrigerator because there's so much condensation in my refrigerator because it's not sealed properly. I'm waiting for my door to be put on. So I'm not very happy.

    The company that I had prior, I really had some issues with them. Every call that I made, I came out of my pocket with hundreds of dollars. When they came the last time, they stated that I needed to have a specific wire made for a humidifier. So, I've questioned how this house had humidifiers when I purchased it. The house is 20 years old, and they never had a separate wire. So, when I switched to American Home Shield, I advised them that that was the issue. The person I spoke with said they couldn't go on anybody else's situation. They had to have their guys come up. Their guy who came here was very informative. He actually taught me some things and he told me what to do so I don't have to put it on the wire. So, that was a pretty good experience with them.

    The hot water heater in the house stopped working and Steinberg Plumbing replaced the upper and lower element as well as the thermostat. It took a day and a half. We've only used American Home Shield a handful of times and my experience has been very low and dissatisfied to very satisfied with this last particular vendor. The guy did a wonderful job and was very thorough. He explained everything and did a top-notch job, not only fixing the issue, but also inspecting to make sure there were no other issues lurking around the corner.

    The calling process is horrible though and I’ve been thinking about canceling the service with AHS. Most of the time, the people on the other end of the phone are very difficult to understand and to talk to. AHS has no regard for the homeowner and their problems. The reps have a script to follow and it's very evident and clear that they don't vary from the script, which is to do the least amount for the homeowner.

The technician didn’t have all the parts the first time on Saturday morning but he got them and finished it that evening. So, I was very satisfied. It worked out well. The repairs can be costly so, comparing the monthly cost for the service with AHS against the repairs, we are at least break even or we come out ahead.

    With AHS, the amount you pay for a service call is $100. No company will send one of their techs out if you're not under that for $100. Also, since AHS started advertising, they've been hiring more people and that works out well. My experience with them has been very good lately.

    JP Williams came out recently for an electric issue. The electrician's customer service, promptness, and knowledge were great. It went well. I just have concerns. I requested service for my refrigerator previously and someone came out five times. Then they said that they would have to contact Whirlpool directly but no one ever contacted me back. Finally, I was told that I was sent an email to respond to because the refrigerator would be replaced as the contractor couldn't fix it. No one ever called me with that as well. The email didn't say American Home Shield, so I didn't know who the email was coming from. That was a little bothersome because I could have been on that a lot sooner than I had been. If I never said anything, nobody's gonna say anything to me.

    I also had issues with my AC as I had them both going at the same time. Someone came out five times and it was the same contractor, which was fine, because I didn't wanna deal with anyone else and I didn't want anyone else to start over. But I just thought someone should've said, "Well, is it fixed?" This started in April. Here, it is July, and no one asked about it. American Home Shield was great when I called and I had to request service again and again. Thank goodness, I only had to pay that deductible once, but I didn't feel the follow-up there. I just have to have a lot of patience. AHS is a little costly and I have two properties with it.

    There was one contractor I had a long time ago that I told American Home Shield not to send out to my house. This guy came for the dishwasher at my rental property and I told him to let me know what was going on. I thought it was fixed. A week later, it still wasn't, and neither the contractor nor the tenant told me about it, that was why he received a bad rating. He was so angry with me and told me not to call him again for service and he would never come back. That was good because I didn't want him to come back either. He was nasty.

    But other than that, there's one guy that American Home Shield sends all the time for my washer or dryer and he's fabulous. One time my son came down and asked him to move his van and he did. When my son went to work or school, he asked if that was the little boy that used to be playing outside when he would come here and I said yes. He was like, "Oh my gosh. He's driving." So, 99% of the contractors have been absolutely amazing and I appreciate that.

    We were good with American Home Shield until this last claim but it's not that it was necessarily their fault. We had to have our refrigerator replaced and it was a long time of a wait to get the contractor out. Normally, they've been good about it being a day or so, but this time, it was over a week and no one called me back. So, we ended up having to wait an extra 48 hours while they put it through the system. Then, it took another week plus to get the gift card to replace the appliance. I ordered the refrigerator the morning that I got the gift card and then, it was delivered the next day.

    All of our appliances match and AHS said that they don’t match colors even though that option is available. Currently, they still wouldn't change the eCode so in order to make all my appliances match, it cost me another $400 out of pocket to get the exact same refrigerator that I already have, in the right color. It ended up working out fine but AHS should have a better match system. In our case with stainless steel, they would only pay for the white. I understand that if I have white, I shouldn't get a stainless-steel price. But ultimately, if they’re planning to replace my appliance and the exact same appliance is available and they're not paying for it to be replaced to match, that seems a little bit ridiculous to me.

He had somebody come and take my appliance somewhere else then within days again, it wasn't draining. We called American Home Shield then they had ARC come out. We could all hear the pump was bad again. They had to replace the pump, and they got it in. I saw it wasn't going again the first day, but now, it seems to be okay.

    My dishwasher wasn't working. I put it on then it looked like it was going to start. Then, it didn't stop. And you could almost smell the mildew inside the dishwasher because I hadn't used it. I called American Home Shield and they gave me the person who was going to come. The repair guy took care of business. He said it was the starter. When you close the door, it wasn't connecting with the computer and he fixed it on the spot. It was excellent. I've been using the dishwasher and it works perfectly. I haven't been with American Home Shield that long but they were very good. I had to use them before for my air conditioning unit and I hated the guy so, I asked them not to send him to me ever again. They gave me someone else and the person was perfect. I was very satisfied with AHS.

    We would turn on one of the burners on our range and it wouldn't turn off. So, I went online and filed the claim with American Home Shield. Within 24 hours, a gentleman from the Fix-It Guys named Bill called me. He asked what was going on with it and I told him. He said upfront that he probably didn’t have the part in his shop and that he would have to order it from AHS. I said okay and it wasn't 20 minutes after we got off the phone that there was an appointment scheduled. When the day came for him to show up, he was here, bright and early that morning. He fixed the burner and was out the door probably within 20 minutes. It was wonderful. It was very streamlined and effective. AHS was well worth the money I spent for it. It's peace of mind. I'm in insurance sales myself so I understand the importance of having a little bit extra help, especially when you buy a new house, and you don't know what's going to go wrong.

    When I requested service for my water heater that went out, it was super easy. The repairman was very professional the first time he came. The second time, he came with another gentleman and they were very professional as well. They were very quick and neat too. The only thing that I would say negative is getting the billing right. When I called American Home Shield, they quoted me for the second time almost double the price of what the contractor was going to charge me. I initially almost said no both times. Their customer service is 50-50. You can get someone who is well-spoken or even with the language barriers, which is totally fine. But sometimes, they're really hard to understand. If I were to say, “I'm sorry, can you repeat that,” they kind of get a little more agitated.

    A microwave kept tripping our circuit breaker. I made a claim with AHS and it took about a week and a half to two weeks before the tech came out. But that was only because I rescheduled the appointment once. Then, when the tech came in, he was here for about 30 minutes and he did a good job. He kept to himself, diagnosed the problem, and left only once just to get the parts from his truck. Then he came back and fixed it. Everything works great now. I'd tell others to get AHS and not to waste time. It's a monthly payment, but it saves a lot of time interest in the long run.

    The air conditioner was coming on in the morning, and it would work fine for a few hours. Then at some point in the middle of the day, it would start to be putting out warm air. We live in California, and it's hot. Leo Smith was able to fix it really quickly. He identified the problem within 10 minutes, got a part out of his truck, and had that fixed in another 10 minutes. He stayed here long enough to check to make sure it was working. But then the cool air started coming through. It wasn’t a failure of the entire system, it was a failure of one of the components of the system. We had a lot of hot days, and it's worked fine. Leo Smith is a great company. It was a guy that really knew what he was doing, and I felt good about it.

    The way the claim was processed through American Home Shield was fine. They were very quick. I put it in the system through the webpage. Then they identified who the repair person was, and he immediately got in touch with me. When I put in the request, it happened on a weekend. It was hard to get him out on a weekend, but he came Monday morning, and it was really prompt.

    American Home Shield had been great for the several years I had been with them. But in the last six months, I had trouble with them. The people they hired to do the repair work were very slow in getting the work done. Two out of two contractors were less than satisfactory. The first time was a replacement of my washing machine and it took almost two months. There was one problem after another. My husband was handling this issue and he constantly called. They constantly said that parts were on order and techs would be out on Tuesday. They wouldn't show up and sometimes they did not even a call. My husband should have contacted American Shield immediately but he didn't. He kept dealing with the contractor that was assigned to our case and that didn't work out.

    The second instance was when my water heater broke. I wasn't gonna take the risk that there was no hot water. I had to keep nagging the plumber. He said he was waiting for authorization from American Shield. That flipped me out so I contacted American Home Shield and they started to get involved. When we submit a claim, American Home Shield usually has someone respond pretty quickly on that, but the job doesn't get done.

    American Home Shield should make sure that their contractors are on top of things and they do the work in a certain period of time that is required in order to keep their contract with American Home Shield. That was one of the major issues for me. The second one is American Shield kept not giving authorization. The third time that I do a repair request and American Home Shield does not do it really satisfactorily, I'm leaving them. In the last six months, American Home Shield had fallen down on the job and if they don't correct this, I will leave and try another company that is on a month-to-month basis.

He couldn't get the dishwasher fixed because there were too many issues with it, so American Home Shield agreed to do a replacement. It's a very nice replacement and that got installed just a little bit ago. My other claim was for the washing machine that had a broken sensor in it. A repairman fixed that and the unit has been up and running since. On both times they've been quick and friendly. American Home Shield has been very much worth the money so far.

    Usually, when I turn the air on, it turns right on. I turned it on but I didn't hear it come on. I noticed that when it came on, warm air was coming out. I went outside to look at the unit and the fan was not blowing. It was just the motor. That next morning, I went down and checked out my furnace. It wasn't coming on. I went to the hardware and bought new fuses. I put them in and there was nothing. The light wouldn’t come on on the furnace. After that, I called American Home Shield and got their contractor to come out. It was a fuse in the furnace that was causing the fan not to come on. After that was done, I tried my air. Still, the fan wasn't coming on on the unit outside. That was when I called back and had them come out to check the air conditioner out. A guy came out and I told him I just had somebody out a few days ago. He mentioned I could combine the service so I wouldn't have to pay a deductible again.

    He told me to cut the unit on. When I went and turned it on, it went back out. The fan was blowing. It was strange because we had been trying the unit, and the fan wouldn’t come on. It was just warm, regular air coming out of my vent. After that, he opened it up and was looking around. He pressed on something that was on the top and that turned it on. He told me to look and I did. It was sticky, and it had stuff down. It wasn't coming on. That was what was causing the fan not to come on and he changed that. After he said that, I went in and cut the power off so he could go in the little box. After he finished putting the thing back on, it wouldn’t work. He started looking down on the side where something would come out from the furnace. It was the wire that had came loose. I set the service off again and he put the wire back then everything was working. He seemed like he was trying to find out exactly what was wrong with it. He took his time to do it. He did a good job.

    I will recommend American Home Shield because anybody that's in a certain business can come out and do whatever they need to do if you call them for whatever it is that you need them for in your home. What put a stamp on it for me was that a year ago, I had trouble with my plumbing. It’s a lot the same thing going on. I was wondering if I call and it's the same problem, do I have to pay a deductible again? I called American Home Shield and we came to a resolution that I didn't have to pay that deductible again. They sided with me after I explained.

    I didn’t get a chance to call American Home Shield to tell them I wasn't pleased with the plumbing people that came out because where water was coming up from, the plumber said, “We can't go down there because something is blocking.” I couldn't understand. It's a sewer in my basement. If it's coming up, why would he say there’s something blocking it? It was two guys where one had been with the company a long time, and he had been training this other guy. This other guy came with nice jeans on and nice gym shoes. He was doing plumbing work but he was trying not to let water splash on him. I wasn't pleased with him at all.

    When you submit a claim to AHS, you go through a lot of recordings. But I prefer to speak to somebody. So, sometimes it is a little challenging. But for the most part, the process has worked. Also AHS has done what they've said. But right before we moved into this property, I had purchased a new water heater and had it installed after we had moved in. For some reason, that water heater failed. The plumbing company that AHS had took about 10 days to get there. I bought a premium water heater and I told the contractor that wanted the very same brand. They said they had to order that and it took a few extra days. So it was about three weeks cold showers. But things seemed to work pretty well up until this part.

    We had a claim for the AC and the contractor came out pretty quick and replaced one part. It did stop arcing, but we were still experiencing some air conditioning problems. They have ordered a circuit board but it hasn’t come in yet. We've had some AC failures, but it seems to be limping along fine right now. We had two claims to AHS within a couple of weeks. Prior to the air conditioning issue, we had a washing machine issue. AHS called someone and the contractor came right out the next day. They said the issue was a bearing and then we didn't hear anything. I called AHS back and they said, “Yes, the part has been ordered.” But still nothing had happened. A week later, we called the service people that came out and they said, “No. They approved to replace your washing machine.” But no one ever told us anything. We still haven't done anything about it. The bearing in the washing machine is extremely loud.

The one thing I was afraid of was that I was gonna have to wait for a week till someone comes out, but that has not been the case so far. Everything's been easy. I call them and they have local contractors. I had someone come out today so the timeliness of the response was good too. The tech was professional and diagnosed the problem quickly. He was able to fix it quickly too.

    My dryer stopped working a few weeks ago. I called American Home Shield and the vendor that came out fixed it within a week. In my recent claim, Plumbing Enterprises LLC came for my shower and diagnosed the problem quickly. I haven't had issues since then. There was just one vendor that came out to fix my washer which I ended up being without it for almost three months. They said it was one issue, then they had to wait three weeks for a part. They came back and fixed that, and then when they went to run the cycle for the washer, the Control Panel went out, and it was over a month to wait for that part to come in. It's hit or miss depending on the vendor that AHS contacts to come out to do work.

    The hot water heater went out. The guys that came out were knowledgeable and they explained everything to me. I was very careful on watching how they operated and I appreciated both of them. They both had on their mask and they didn't take it off around me if they ever did. I was happy about that. The only thing was I did not hear from anybody what was going on. The contractor told me that American Home Shield should be contacting me. A rep told me that they would replace the unit and what I need to do. I just kept in contact with the contractor.

    Also, I initially paid for some parts and then, I got a call that a mistake was made. I had the platinum policy, which covers that extra charge that I was charged for. The American Home Shield rep apologized and they're going to reimburse me the amount. I was glad that's how American Home Shield did it because they could have not told me anything and I would have never known any different. And since they called me back and told me what they did, it made me take out another policy on another house. I feel like they are a good company to continue with.

    Appliance Service Plus checked my washer and dryer. They found out that when the washer would start going into its rinse cycle, it would keep spitting water and it would never go into a full rinse. They had to order the board and then, they had to come back out and put the board in once they got it. General house appliances tend to fail after contracts and American Home Shield worked on those for us. The only thing I had a problem with a long time ago was the plumbing. I needed somebody fast and they had to schedule somebody, and it was way outside. I had to pay somebody local to do it.

    AHS tries to schedule a service as soon as possible but it depends on everything with them as well as the urgency with the customer. I had a sink that was backed up and the line was underneath into the wall. I couldn't reach it with my auger so it was beyond my scope. I got a private one to do it and he came and had to go almost all the way down to the sewer line. So, AHS did not have the capability to tell me it was right away. But follow up was always good before with them. We stayed with AHS and we worked all the way through with them until they replaced my refrigerator because it kept failing. But that wasn't AHS’ problem. It was the unit.

Then the washing machine was not salvageable, so they gave us money to get a new one.

    Then our water heater broke the week after. AHS hooked us up with somebody who wasn't going to be able to come out for two weeks. I called American Home Shield and said, "That's just too long.

    I requested service online from AHS. My problem was with the furnace and I needed to request for service on the AC, but it came up as heat. So, I'm not sure what I clicked that was wrong, but that was one glitch. Then the techs came out, and they were professional and quick. They also came when they said they were going to come and when I had questions, they answered them. They had masks and when I asked them if they could wear shoe coverings, they had their own, which was great. A lot of times, I usually have to provide that.

    But they had to come to the house three times. The first time, it was because the AC was low on refrigerant, so they had to de-freeze, which made sense. Then, they had to come back to fix it which was not an issue. But then, one of the guys didn't put the furnace back on properly, so I was getting no air. So, they had to come out the third time. Aside from that, I need to have my house rekeyed and that is one whole service. With the warranty, I have to pay $100 to have my house rekeyed, whereas it's $100 to come out to see if my stove is functioning. That is a bit annoying.

    AHS has fixed and replaced everything I've needed and it’s been very quick. It's hard to talk to people when I call to file a claim, though, so I do it online. A recent claim was when my toilet was wiggly. I called and the contractor, NW Sundance Services, came out the next day. The plumber seemed to know what she was doing and fixed it. I have one small complaint, though. The main reason I bought the whole package was for my heat pump and they said that they would replace it 100% if they couldn't fix it. But when I had to have it replaced, the company still charged me $900. They said that the unit was over what AHS would pay them so they charged me the difference. $900 is a lot of money, but it was worth it to get a brand new heat pump and furnace and all the work that they did. I would gladly pay it but I would have liked to have known upfront that that was going to be done.
