The latch to the door of the washer broke and for a while, it was leaking. Appliance RX did pretty great. We thought it was gonna get fixed on the spot, but they needed to get something for it. They were able to get it pretty fast, though, and they fixed the washer immediately. Then, I had a second claim right after because the garage broke and the tech did great. He fixed it on the same day. We were happy about that.

My blower motor for my air conditioning wasn't working. A tech came out within a couple hours of me submitting a claim to American Home Shield. He did a really good job and knew what he was doing. I had two claims like two weeks in a row. My refrigerator went out, and then my air conditioner went out. My refrigerator took a little longer, but that wasn't on them. That was because they were so backed up.

We've had American Home Shield for three years and while there are some exclusions and inclusions and things that haven't been covered or covered to what we would have hoped, still it’s been a worthwhile use. I'm enjoying it. We had a dishwasher issue that ended up not being fixable. We did the cash-out option so they covered a certain amount towards a new one. We've had a couple of issues with a refrigerator that would have been remediated more inexpensively than replacing it or having a service company come out and fix it so that's been useful. There are plumbing-related items that have helped. The overlying or overarching issues with things that haven't been covered are just items that are more of a maintenance issue rather than a breakdown of the particular mechanism.
We've also had a heat pump issue and they sent out a company that effectively said it’s gonna be cheaper to replace. That particular provider was helpful in working through American Home Shield, through their partnership, and working with us to develop a new solution to provide heating and cooling on one side of our house. It’s the second time they've been out and in this new issue, they did an excellent job. They are very available in terms of having techs come out and are really good at problem resolution. The new virtual diagnosis is better than what was in the past where they would actually send someone out, they would diagnose it, and then it would take a week or two for them to get the part and to fix it. They were fully prepared to fix the issue that we had with our freezer this time.

That Friday night when the unit first went out I said, “Well, if I do Friday, it could be at least 24 hours to 48 hour for someone to get in touch with me.” While I was in New York, the only thing that ticked me off was I kept getting the recording. But I kept asking for customer service. And it didn't want to do that. When I called back, it did the recording, it placed the order, but I didn't want to use it on the card on file. So, I called back the third time to get a customer service, which I finally got one. That was when the lady set me up, took the card that I want the money to come out for to pay for the service. And Sunday, I got a text and the text told me they would get back in touch with me to let me know that the serviceman would come out.
I got a phone call as soon as I got in the car to the airport. And when I talked to the lady at A-US, she said I missed my appointment. I said I sent in a text that said to let me call them once I arrived in Dallas where I can go ahead and make an appointment. That was when she made the first appointment. It was Tuesday. So, the tech came Tuesday morning, took the machine. And Wednesday, he said he would come and do. But I asked him to come Thursday because I had to go to work. And that was when he came back. I made arrangements for Thursday for somebody to watch my dad so he could come back and put the machine back in. Wednesday is when the machine stopped, then I placed the order Thursday, which was yesterday.
The tech was good. He took the thing and said that it probably needed a part. He said, “I’d get back in touch with you when the thing is ready,” which came a day after. He came back, plugged it back up, and that was it. He left and I didn't have any problem until the day it showed back out which was three days later. I called AHS yesterday and the same people came back out there to see what was wrong with the air conditioning. I thought it was the same person. It was another guy today. I got on the phone and told him what happened and he said he would take care of it, and that was it. My son said he asked for his email. He said he was supposed to call me to let me know what the situation was, which I never received a text.
Whatever the situation that I had AHS, between my washer and dryer, and air condition, everything was perfect. Because at the end of the day, I call AHS to solve the problem. I knew that that’s AHS' thing. That's what I pay them for since they are the insurance. They are the ones that know how to handle the contractors. Since they are the insurance and they are the one that does the claims, I accept the situation. But if I have a problem or issue, I would be the one that has to call AHS and talk to them because they are the people that I have to talk to about whatever the issues or problem that I'm having with my appliance. I'm trying to get my daughter when she moved in her house to insure her appliances. Save her money, time, and stress. AHS has been excellent all the way around.

The air conditioner wasn't cooling and my wife called American Home Shield. We had someone else come a year ago and I thought we would have those guys come back. But they weren't selected by AHS. They had Lane Services come over. They came once and they tried to do a technique that would be less expensive and time consuming. It ended up it wasn't effective, so they came back out and replaced a larger component there was under the manufacturer warranty. They were very prompt and worked fast. Everything has been working great now and the repair has made a big difference. It’d be cool enough. We have very young babies, so we don't want it to get too hot.
When the air conditioner was not working, it was burning our electricity. So we’ll probably have a huge bill next month based on that. But the day that it was fixed, the electricity has gone back to normal. So we’re much happier. It’s not wasting all the electricity. We had to call AHS on some appliance issues as well as the air conditioning, and it has worked out well. I’d recommend AHS. Unless people are handy and they can fix everything, there's probably gonna be a time when something big like the air conditioner won't work and they’d want the coverage.

BAD. I was hoping that American Home Shield would cover things, but in my experience so far, it's been really hit or miss. I just used the warranty to get my AC repaired and it was like a whole debacle. They sent out their preferred first choice. The guy came and he tried swindling me. The air conditioner uses R22, which is expensive, and he was trying to charge me $280 per pound of it. I needed four pounds, so we were talking close to 1,000 bucks. He was adamant that that's what it was. I declined because I don't have $1,000.
I then started calling around to local AC people and they were blown away that the guy was trying to rip me off for an extra $200 per pound. I had people come out that afternoon and they charged me $80 per pound. When I called American Home Shield, the agents that I spoke with refused to believe me and said that it was my word versus him. My response was, “Why would I waste my like making this story up?” They didn't do anything. I had to pay that out of pocket.
Then I had to call American Home Shield back and had another AC guy come out for the capacitor that starts something in the furnace. This was a completely different company, as I told them that I did not want to have that same person come out. This person was absolutely wonderful and fixed the capacitor quickly. But it was hard to get to that point. It took two weeks to have anybody come out. He also inspected the furnace and AC and said that both are going to have major problems soon. My neighbors right next to me had the same thing. We have similar-style houses, and they had their warranty through American Home Shield, and they already discontinued because they had issues with a furnace claim. American Home Shield doesn't have my back at all. I hate this service warranty.

I was in a panic situation because of a bathroom issue. The guy I called tried to cheat me and he gave a big quote saying everything was broken. He would need to break the whole tiles and fix the problem. I was really pissed off. I was under the impression that it was gonna be a big job so I kept delaying the repair. But fall is coming now and the kids can’t handle the cold water.
I finally took the time to call American Home Shield for a claim. The rep said I would have to pay the $100 of service fee then they we arrange a person. Within a day, they arranged a local person and it was very quick. I did not expect that. If I had known that, I would have done this long ago. My bathroom was bad for more than a month. The person who came was from Keilly's Plumbing and he was great. In under 30 minutes, he fixed the problem. He put a small equipment in and that was it. Everything is done and I'm so happy. The person also called back and made sure everything is okay.
I've been telling to a couple of people that it's better to take this insurance with Americna Home Shield. There are two winning factors here. One is you're covered with insurance and second is you really don't want to assess all the people outside. You don't know who is good and who is not. I'm paying insurance with American Home Shield but they are going to cover my things. They are also going to send out very qualified technicians to fix things. Under 24 hours, the issue is fixed and that's what I love about it. Everybody’s friendly and cooperative too. I'm buying a new house soon and I’ll definitely get the insurance.

When our air conditioning unit wasn't cooling, a contractor came out, diagnosed the problem, and relayed the information to my husband. The price they quoted was extremely high so my husband purchased the refrigerants and put it in himself. We paid much less than what they were going to bill. They could have fair pricing.

American Home Shield's claim process needs work. We submitted a claim back in March for a boiler that wasn't working. One of the buttons on the stove wasn’t functioning properly. It took us a long time to get to this point where the boiler was repaired. One time, a guy came out and he worked on something and he couldn't fix it. He had to order parts. Somehow that claim was closed and he didn't complete the repair. That was an issue. That part of the process could be a little faster. The boiler finally got repaired. When the tech came out to work on the boiler, all the parts were here and he was able to complete the work. Everything is working fine at this point.

I called in a claim for two refrigerators. The one in the garage wasn't cooling on the refrigerator side but the freezer was cold. Then the main refrigerator in the kitchen completely stopped working and before it did that, it had issues with the ice maker. the first contractor came and they figured that there was a part that was bad on the refrigerator in the garage and I happened to have a spare part on top of the refrigerator because I was googling it and I purchased the part. But since we had insurance, I didn't want to touch it. They ended up using my part and the refrigerator worked. They then said they would ship me the part back. When they looked at the refrigerator in my kitchen, they declined the repair on that because they didn't have the people that would repair the compressor on it. I went back to the insurance and they said they would send a different contractor.
The second contractor came and they had parts for the ice maker and fixed it, but again, they declined the repair on the compressor part. I asked them, “How do we know if it's gonna work if the refrigerator is not working, the freezer is not working?” So, they replaced parts and then they declined again the repair on the compressor. I went back to the insurance and asked them what's going on, if they could find somebody, or if they couldn't find one, would they replace the refrigerator. They said that they would send Accord Appliance to look at the compressor. I told them to put a note on there that if they couldn't fix it, they had to replace the unit because I was tired. It was my main refrigerator and we couldn't keep anything in there as it’d go bad.
The technician was sent out and he saw exactly what was going on. I have a Kenmore refrigerator, he explained how it had an LG compressor, and basically my refrigerator is an LG. He said that he'd put in the order to order the parts needed to repair the compressor or replace it. Sure enough, they ordered those. They came back out, did the repair, and it’s been working since.
Now, I noticed that the part that was replaced in the garage refrigerator is freezing a little too much on that side. I called the insurance back and explained that to them. Then I'm still waiting for my spare part. They said they couldn't do anything about it and they gave me the number of the first contractor and said that I have to call them and see where they're at with the part and talk to them about the repair that it’s still freezing. Even though they replaced the part, the refrigerator is still not working 100%.
The experience was frustrating because it was a lot of calling in for service and the phone call took a lot of waiting time to get somebody to answer, and not getting a straightforward answer. At first, I understood that the insurance would have to replace the whole refrigerator in the kitchen, if they couldn’t find anybody. But they kept sending people to try to fix it and still couldn't fix it. It was taking so long and we had to keep going to the garage to get food and we couldn't put so much in there because it was a hassle.

When my husband purchased the policy, he was sold it would cover all of the built-in appliances in the house. But not everything was covered. We have a built-in under-the-counter ice maker and that was not functioning. We were told by other people that should be covered under our policy. But when we put in a claim to get it repaired, we couldn’t get it repaired. This ice maker is not an essential item in the house and we are working without it. But things like that are frustrating.
The house also has 250-gallon water heaters and they are plugged in parallel. One of them blew and we really had a hard time with the repair person that was sent out to do the work. Some of the repair people we had were great. But this person had a huge attitude problem and he was going to charge us as much to move the first water heater to replace the second water heater as the replacing of the whole water heater. We ended up back and forth until we were finally told that there was a cashout option. We got that and we had our own plumber do the installation. We paid for it out of pocket.
We also have two different air conditioning units. Last summer, the first air conditioner went bad. The service people that came out were really great. The units are older so it has the old coolant that is so incredibly expensive per pound. It was over $100 a pound. He said they were gonna have to charge the whole unit and I was gonna have to pay for all that. When that goes bad, then the home warranty would cover fixing that. We went through all that with them. They at least explained the process of what we were going to have to go through in order to get the repair done. It didn't feel like we had to argue with them. They were reasonable to work with, unlike the water heater guy who may have been frustrated and took it out on us.
This last summer, our second air conditioner went out. The technician, again, explained the same process. The refrigerant is getting very scarce to find and very expensive. Last year, it was $100 a pound. It’s currently $165 a pound this year. The tech expected it to be over $200 a pound after September 1st. But we were able to put in the call right before the price increase.
The main reason we took out the policy was because of the age of the mechanicals. American Home Shield has saved us money. But I have to gear myself up to make a claim when something goes out. I don't know what hoops lay ahead of me to get the repair done because there is no clear process of hoops and it's not a consistent process of hoops. That aside, there are parts of the process that are working.

American Home Shield has been very good. We've had three items that needed servicing over the past year since we bought the place. The only thing is the service people that are assigned to us tend to show up at the very tail end of the window. If they were going to be here between 12:00 and 5:00, they showed up at 5:05. But that's okay because we're retired and we get every day off, so it's not really an inconvenience. The service has been all very good and we're quite satisfied. It's well worth the money. Having to be able to work with Home Shield and having them take on that responsibility of assigning contractors to us is a great convenience, in addition to the good work that these guys have done.

Complete Air recently came out and fixed our AC. But after they left, we started hearing when the fan motor would come on. The new motor that they put on was making a strange noise so I walked out to look at it. I took a video of it, but it wasn't giving me the audio that I wanted to send to American Home Shield. There are wires sticking out of the top of the AC unit outside that any kids could come along and pull or get ahold of. Even though they've got wingnuts on them to tie them off together, I didn't want to leave those wires out of the top of the unit where they could be accessed by someone inappropriately. I'm also concerned about the noise that the fan motor is now making.
I first contacted Complete Air and they said that they would have to have a new work order ticket. I told them that it was the same matter. But they said they've closed out the ticket and so American Home Shield will have to provide a new work order. I tried to call American Home Shield, but unfortunately, I was on hold for some time. I had another call to take so I haven't had a chance to do that yet.
I also don't like the AHS claim process for the most part. The last one was okay. The problem that I've had in the past is they've overcharged me with the bathtub issue I had with a faucet. They spent months and months, wasted my time, and never fixed it. They charged me at least twice, if not three times, to have people come out say, "We were just out here to assess." Then they went back and rescheduled another appointment to the point that I had to have another plumber fix it myself at my own expense. I was not very happy with it. But my experience on this recent claim was pretty good, up to the issue of having a fan motor noise and the wires. I would like to see AHS take care of it.

Everything was good when I submitted a claim with AHS. It was easy. Then the contractor called me several times to let me know when they would be there.

We initially had water leaks and the repair guy from All Service Plumbing had to put new guts in both the toilets. We had a leak underneath the sink in the spare bathroom and the kitchen sink wasn't draining correctly.

There’s an issue though with the appliance man and I wasn’t happy about the installation. The guy who came over was supposed to fix my washer. He has been here three times and he was supposed to come back again this morning. Now, I'm being told there's a line in the laundry room that leaks and goes to that washer.

I'm not happy at all with the service of AHS. I've paid for the same part to be repaired in my dishwasher. This is the fourth time now. Instead of replacing it, they're sending out another technician to replace the same exact part. So, I haven't been able to use my dishwasher since July. They keep sending out a different company every time instead of using the same technician who would obviously be able to tell them that it's the dishwasher failure and not the part. And the part itself takes three to four weeks to get. By the time that happens, it's past the 30 days, so I have to pay the $100 deductible again. We're up to $400 that I've paid and haven't been able to use my appliance. And the appliance is less than three years old.

My AC went out, and we called American Home Shield. They sent the AC people out who said there was no power to the unit. They left then I had to call American Home Shield again. They sent 3H out for it. The line was buried underground, and they said American Home Shield won't do anything with underground buried line. I had no idea that they don't do underground wiring. I did the electrical myself and got power to the AC unit so that American Home Shield can have the AC guys come back out and give me AC. It cost me an extra $156 on top of calling the home warranty company out twice. That's $356 that it cost me to get this fixed.
The amount of time that it takes to get the scheduling done can be improved as well. My wife works from home, and we were a solid two weeks without any AC during the hottest part of the month. It was very miserable. I developed a head cold because we were sleeping with the windows open and fans on at nighttime, and I had poison ivy at the same time as well. I know it can't be helped though. Different companies have different businesses and schedules and they've already got people on their schedules. Apart from that, all of the technicians that the warranty company has sent out seem to be up and up. They're all very smart, informative and cordial.

The valve underneath the sink was leaking a little bit. It let me shut it off but when I tried to turn it back on, the valve on top of it cracked in half. At the same time, the toilet was leaking, too. I turned in the report and did a service request with AHS online. Their website was great. Then, a guy from JTech company came out. He went up to fix the toilet and said that we had hard water here. He shook the handle and left. I replaced the insides of the toilet myself and didn't let him look under the sink. I told him that the valve underneath the sink was leaking and he said he didn't have any parts on his van. So he just left.
After that, I did a second request and had to pay for that through American Home Shield for All Points to come out. They just came out and saw it needed to be repaired, so they got it. All in all, AHs has been awesome. We've been with them a long time and if we have a problem, they stay on it. We might be ready to cry but the customer service people are always calm and they always help a whole lot. AHS is a trusted service and they really send out qualified people who usually get the issues resolved on the first visit. Good help is hard to find.

We had a different home warranty at the property that we're at right now and they covered absolutely nothing. It was so frustrating to me.
In the last house that we were at before this one, we had American Home Shield. We had two hot water heaters and they replaced both of them throughout the time that we lived there. They also had the washer and dryer fixed. They were always very good to deal with and so were the people they sent out. We have always been very pleased. We recently had the refrigerator freezer looked at and the tech did a good job. He looked at everything and he had to order a part. He then came back and installed the part.
We appreciate you taking time to share your warranty experience. We look forward to handling your AHS needs. Have an amazing week.

The first time the vendor came out, they said that we were out of Freon, and the guy pumped it full of Freon. We were good for a week. Then the next week, half of the Freon was gone. A different company came out the second time which identified a leak outside and fixed it. I wish it was caught on the first trip. But then these people came out quickly and it was done fast so that was a good experience.
However, we were not happy with our claim on our water heater. It went out on a Monday and we called AHS on Tuesday. The company came out on Thursday and said that the heating element is gone, the system is old, and we need a new one. We need a pressure relief valve because there's too much water pressure coming in. They said they could be out on Monday. Then AHS kept telling us that they've ordered it and told us the date. I don't call and complain and ask for supervisors, but at this point, after two weeks of not having hot water, we were fed up.
Finally, the plumbing company that was going to do the work said that they have issues with home warranty companies all the time doing this so they'll just give us one of their water heaters and take what AHS gets whenever it comes in. When I called AHS, they could not tell me if it was ordered or if it wasn't ordered. They told my husband one thing. They turned around and told me something else. They couldn't give us a date. They said that they would get back to us and never did. I was on hold for 20 minutes for a supervisor, and then they hung up on me. There was no communication. We didn't know if we were going to be without hot water for two months. It had already been two weeks. It was very aggravating.
Then we didn't know if we have a choice of what company to use and that was our concern when we were dealing with the water heater because it was taking so long. We started looking up the plumbers' qualifications and their complaints and they weren't great. But then again, everybody has complaints. At that point, it was not the plumbers’ fault. It's the home warranty people. It was not a good experience and it almost made us not want to go with American Home Shield.

I had really low water flow in my toilet and sink. The guy came out and fixed both of the things. He told us how to prevent it from happening. He was super nice. He was wearing a mask. He was great. It's really easy to get service with American Home Shield. I like the claims process. I'm a little confused if I'm ever going to pay more than the $75 copay. But so far, it's been great.
So far, I had a problem with my AC, and then a problem with plumbing, and both have been covered by American Home Shield. If I didn't have American Home Shield, I would have been out about three grand. So, it was great. American Home Shield is great because they respond instantly. They also have their contractors respond in a way that’s emergency issue friendly. So when I put in my service request, I'll be contacted within 24 hours. So if something's happening that's an emergency, I know that American Home Shield is going to cover it.

Our dishwasher was no longer cutting on. The technician came out, evaluated things, and figured out what part he needed. It was a bigger part that he didn't have on hand, so he had to order it. He came back out and fixed it. The only thing is the fact that ordering the part and almost waiting three weeks to get it fully fixed was a little long for us. But I understand that shipping and parts being available is not the home warranty's fault or the company's fault. The repair work was great. The technician was very respectful. We were happy with everything. American Home Shield is just like insurance goes and you're paying a monthly cost, and then you're able to feel like you're not getting hit with all these home expenses that are coming at you. You can feel secure that you're paying your deposit. You know what to expect and it better prepares you for life.

My wife noticed there is a small leak of water coming from the bowl connected to the floor. It was a Sunday evening, which is kind of a wrong time to try to get immediate service. I went online and within 20 minutes, I got a phone call from American Home Shield stating that a plumber will be out the next morning. They gave me the name, which was Dockside, and gave me all the information I need to know, making sure I wasn't getting any type of scam call or anything like that.
Dockside called me up about 20 minutes before their arrival and they were here within 20 minutes. The plumber took care of the issue, was in and out of here in less than an hour, and was very professional. He was very communicative with me in regards to what the issue was and what he did to fix it. I was very impressed with the service.

Filing a claim with American Home Shield is rigorous. It's like making a doctor's appointment. Sometimes you can get someone to come out but sometimes you have to wait a while. When I had a problem with my oven, I called and American Home Shield sent out a person. They wanted me to wait a few days so my daughter called back and asked if we could get someone sooner. They did send someone out sooner but unfortunately, I had this same repairman again and he was not capable of doing anything. I had a bad experience with him prior to this, about the year before. It took him about six months before he would respond to my calls. It ended I had to get a new stovetop. When he came in to check my oven, he didn't even take out one tool to measure the heat of it. He just looked at it, said it was okay and left.
I had another guy come for my refrigerator. He was ready to walk out because he didn't know what he was doing. I told him, "If you go on YouTube, this is the procedure they do.” He stayed and did make an adjustment on it but it's still not fixed. Then I had another item that the handle broke off the refrigerator. He sent out a part but it was not the same make of the refrigerator. It's not been a good situation and we're going to cancel American Home Shield.

They said when I’d get the plumber on a particular day but I wasn't available so I didn't make the appointment. I'm gonna call again and make the appointment and hopefully, AHS wouldn't charge me again, although they said they won't. I don't think I should have to pay before the actual work is done.

I needed to get somebody out here quick because my toilets were overflowing, and I wanted to find out how things worked. I called one day, and some man that spoke with a deep accent, like from India, answered. I told him that I wanted to see if I can get something on how it works so I can get one of my toilets fixed. He said, “Oh, no. I looked. No, you don't have nothing like that on your policy.” I said, “What are you talking about? I pay the 69 something for it. I see it here on my policy that I do have it, and I have refrigerator, everything on it.” “Oh, no, I don't see that. What I can do, though, because I'm a manager, I can change it.” I said, “What do you mean you're going to change it?” He said, “I can upgrade it, and then you can pay again.”
I said, “No, they take it out of my account every month. I'm not paying for another month to change it. I see it here. I downloaded it from my computer when they sent it to me. And it says I have it.” “Well, no, I can do it.” He insisted on changing it and me paying and giving my credit card. I said, “No, I'm not giving you my credit card. It should be there. You shouldn't have to take it out of my account again.” This went on for 20 minutes. He kept going on, and on about it, and I said, “Well, then you look it up and see what my account number is.” He said, “Well, oh no, I don't need to look up.” He didn't have it, so I said, “Okay, you know what? I think you're scamming me. Because you should know.” He should be able to have access to all my information.
He asked me a lot of things, and I was going along with it because I wanted to see if he can find out for me, which he was unable to. I said, “No, you know what? I'll call later.” All he wanted was my credit card, and I didn't want to give it to him. I hung up then all of a sudden, I got a callback from some number and it was him again. I could tell with the voice. It was the same. I said, “What are you calling me back for? I said I would call you back.” He said, “Oh no, I tell you. I can give you what you want, but you have to pay.” I said, “No I shouldn't have to pay. That is not my fault if it's not there. But I know it's there because I just downloaded what I can use it on.” He was very persistent.
I hung up again and he called again on a different number. I said, “Okay, who is this?” My son got on the phone and told him, “You know what? My mother said she will call back when she's ready. Stop bugging her.” He kept yelling, “No, no, no,” then I said, “Okay, this has gone far enough.” I called and got a hold of a lady that said that she was from this place. She had an accent, too. I also heard chickens in the background, then I said, “Are you working from home?” She said, “Yeah, we're working from home.” I said, “Okay, well, can you help me, then? I was talking to someone, but I'm not getting through to him.” I said, “Obviously, he didn't know my account number or anything.” She did.
This lady brought up my account, and she knew exactly what was covered. She went over it with me, and what I had downloaded from the computer was right. I said, “Okay, so what do we got to do?” She said, “You just pay the $100 and we will send someone over. It might not be today, but it might be tomorrow.” I was skeptical already by this time because I already had gotten calls from this other man, but she was legit because she made it happen. We got somebody out here to check out the toilet. It's just difficult when you don't know how it works, and I didn't, but now I do. Hopefully, I didn't get re-billed.
I got another phone call from this gentleman from a different number. Every number that he called from, I called back and it said I couldn't get through. I said, “Okay, what does this man want?” He called from various phone numbers, and he kept calling and calling. I said, “You know what? This is wrong. This is not right.” This guy did not sound like he was in the best interest of me, and he didn't know anything about my account. If he works for American Home Shield, and a manager, why? He also said his name was something Jones. Jones? Really? I worked with a lot of people from India. Their names are not Jones. I didn't tell him that I'd already gotten it all done.
I played along with it because I wanted to see what he was going to do. I said, “Why are you calling me?” “I’ll make it good, give me your credit card number.” I said, “You know what? You need to stop bothering me. Stop calling me,” so I hung up. Two days now, I haven't gotten a call. Maybe he got the hint. I don't know if he really works for American Home Shield or he broke into the line, but he didn't sound like he was working for Home Shield. That was weird. My son said, “Mom, you need to call the people.” “I don't think I can even get ahold of anybody to tell anything about,” I said. I called the lady and she was working from home, and I told her, “I need to report something.” She said, “Just call back this number.” I thought, “Oh, God. No. I'm gonna probably get the same person.”
The man kept calling me and harassing me, and his name was different every time too. I don't know if that's a sign that somebody is hacking the phone calls. My son said, “If he does it again, then we can call and then report it.” I said, “Yeah, but it's from Home Shield. And that's what he was saying he was.” However, my son said somebody hacking the phone calls could be done. I said, “Yeah, but why Home Shield?” “He wants your credit card, mom.” I said, “Yeah, but they should have all that already. I already gave it to them.”
When the repair company came out to check the toilet, I wanted them to snake the tub also. I didn't tell American Home Shield about the tub, so the guy couldn't do it. Only the toilet, and he did it, but then he told me, “Well, you probably need a new toilet because it's old. It's one of the older ones. But that's going to take a lot of work." "Hey, if it's going to take a lot of work, let's get it done now ‘cause I'm going to need it. It's going to cause me problems.” He said I had to call back and make another request for that. All this for this? I said, “Why can't you just tell me what you think I need to get done so I can get it done?”
I said, “So, I have to wait again, and put another order in, and go ahead and spend another $100 for you to come out and tell me, ‘Okay, well, we'll do this?’” It was not fixing anything. They can snake the thing, but if it's not working properly, then something is wrong. He wasn't able to do anything but just look at the toilet and make it flush. I wasn't happy with that. I rather had known that I needed to get all this stuff done and get it done. It was not a good experience at all.

I submitted claims for an appliance repair, an electrical repair, and a plumbing repair. The electrical repair was great and the guy was very respectful and quick. He communicated through the entire process. He repaired two attic fans and then talked to me about a few other issues that weren't covered by the home warranty. With the plumbing claim, I gave the plumber a bunch of issues. I showed him the faucets that were above the foundation, under the roof, and inside the structural wall as my warranty dictates. He said on the phone, before I even talked to him about things, that he doesn't know if that's gonna be covered and the only thing that might be covered is the showerhead. He immediately said that he wasn't going to be able to get anything done. Then, he showed up and he didn't have anything that distinguished him as a plumber on his vehicle.
Of all the issues that I had, he decided to correct the most simple one and he didn’t even do that job correctly. I had a leaking showerhead because there’s no diverter and he didn’t replace the cutoff. He replaced just the showerhead so it’s still leaking. I called and had to sit on hold for a very long time to speak with some girl who barely speaks English. I explained it three or four times so that she could say she would call me back. She called me back an hour later to tell me that another technician was going to come out. That guy came out yesterday and he was a real professional. He was straightforward and didn't automatically say that none of that's going to be covered. He said he would submit the report but he has a high workload and to give his shop a call if I don't hear from him today.
For the appliance repair, the contractor came out and it took a while for them to get scheduled. All the other guys had already come out, even though they're all scheduled at the same time. The work was completed with the electrician before the appliance repair came. They came out, looked at the stove, and said they were gonna order some parts. It's been four days and I haven't heard from them since.
Also, the contract terms and the contract agreement don't match. Mine says that any pre-existing condition is covered. It doesn't talk about limitations or anything like that. But when you get the contract from AHS after it’s enacted, that statement is no longer listed on your coverage and it then becomes that not everything is covered. For example, they'll only pay to replace part of the faucets that are under my roof above my foundation, in the structural wall, and I have to pay $350 per faucet to replace the rest of it according to the plumber that showed up yesterday.

If it froze, the problem was going to be solved. But the next day, it wasn't frozen and the temperature went back to 80. So, I called and told him that the repair didn't work and he said that there was nothing that could be done with the refrigerator because there is a leak somewhere in the hose. So, he assessed the problem and forwarded it to American Home Shield. But I haven't gotten a response back yet.

For the past three services I've needed, there's been a lot of miscommunication. I've had, unfortunately, very dire situations where I needed immediate service. I insisted on AHS trying to find a contractor to service me the same day. One time, they booked it for the next day. I said, “That's not good enough. I need to find somebody today. What can we do?” All they did was cancel the service they had scheduled for the next day and never found anyone for the current day. So now, there was no service at all.
If I hadn't called back to verify, that's how it would have been left and that happened twice. The second time, where I've got my water heater broke and my garage was flooding, they said, “We can try to find you somebody for today.” I said, “Okay, that's perfect.” They found somebody that could come six to eight hours later. I said, “I'm going to be in a really bad spot in eight hours. We need to find somebody that's more accessible to come sooner.” Again, all they did was cancel the one for six to eight hours later and never found me a replacement. I was so frustrated. I was calling 20 contractors, asking them if they were AHS's providers. Then I was gonna call back and say, “I found somebody that can service me today if you guys open up a ticket.” I shouldn't have to do that.
They should have at least left the original service until they found somebody else that could come in the meantime. Both times, they didn't. If I hadn't called back to verify, because usually, I get the emails and the text to back it up, I would have had no service on both communications. I know that the people are in the Philippines. This has nothing against the countries or race or backgrounds, but I've had the communication with who I'm speaking to and they were not understanding fully what I was saying or what I needed. And I was suffering in the meantime.
I asked to speak to a supervisor, there weren't available. I've tried to call, find a corporate number, there wasn't one. So there was nobody to speak to other than these customer services representatives if you need something escalated, at all. I've never seen that with a company and organization for anything that I've dealt with. I'm very frustrated and I'm scared to ever use AHS again.

I had no choice. I had to get it done. So, I had to pay out of my pocket, and that's a little disappointing. I don't know why they put that in there when they don't cover it. I also had a hot water heater leak, and they only replaced a portion of that, too. So, it sounds like they don't replace the full amount of what's broken. I don't know how they come up with the dollar amount they do replace. I have no idea. They won't tell me.

There was a leak coming out of the side of my house and I thought it was the AC unit. I filed the claim with American Home Shield, spoke to a gentleman on the phone and sent him pictures. He said it wasn't the AC unit but he came out and looked at it anyway. It ended up being the AC unit. I showed him where it was leaking. We went downstairs to look at both the hot water heater and the furnace. He cleaned out the pan because the pan was also bad. Then we went outside and looked at it. We saw the little tube and disconnected it. He blew it out then we put it back together. He tested it two more times to make sure that it was working properly.
I'm really satisfied. As far as American Home Shield, I'd spoken to a couple people, and they've been very helpful. The other times, I'd gone online and filled out a request. I had used an electrician, the gentleman from Young Mechanical, and the plumbers. All three of those people that have come out and helped me have been absolutely wonderful.

Air Pro Master came out for our AC and they replaced something very minor there. American Home Shield has sent those folks out before and they always do a good job. For the most part, most of the vendors they've sent out have been very professional, prompt, they call ahead of time and say they're on their way. So far, it's a good experience. I just hope I'd see changes made in the scope of items that are covered under the warranty. I'd like to see more things like that happen.

I had two different claims with AHS. I had one with the air conditioner and then one with the water heater. The water heater people were great. However, I was not impressed with the people they sent out for the AC. They were very unprofessional. The tech seemed he hadn't showered in two weeks. He had a helper with him that I don't even think works for the company that he was with. He asked for a hose to go on top of the roof to spray it down. Then after, they said the service was fine and everything's good. They drove off. But they left the hose on top of the roof with the water running. But that was the only one that I've ever had with AHS that I wasn't impressed with. AHS is good. I can rely on them. With the water heater, it was hard to get the service technician out 'cause I called on the weekend. But other than that, everything's been great with them.

The only problem that I had was I had another company come out yesterday, and my shower couldn't turn off, so my water kept running. I had to turn the water off the whole house for three days. American Home Shield could either create emergency options, or if it could wait. Because with the water being shut off for three days, we had to fill up totes of water and pour it in our toilet in order to use our toilet. So it was a hassle for three days. But if they can find out if the company has booked prior to setting up the appointment with the company, then that would be great.
If you could, figure it out yourself first before calling AHS. When the guy fixed my shower, I didn't think I could fix it until I saw him fix it. I realized I could have just went to Home Depot and paid $60 for the equipment and did it myself instead of paying a $100 copay on top of $50 something a month. But with the washer, everything was great. There was something wrong with the trigger mechanism when I close the lid to trigger the start of the washer. It was corroded and broken. So the contractor came out and fixed it. And it was a good experience.

There were two appliances that decided to act up within a day of each other. The first thing that happened was I noticed that the freezer wasn't freezing right. I took everything out, checked the tablet built into the refrigerator and hit the reset settings. After two days, I put the food back in and it seemed to freeze again. But then I noticed the milk was spoiling and my butter was starting to melt. When I moved the milk and other stuff out of the way, I could see that the vents in the back were packed with ice.
I contacted American Home Shield and they had somebody contact me right away. They also came out right away and fixed the refrigerator. They were great. That very morning they came out, the dishwasher decided to flood the kitchen. While they were out, I asked, "Can you guys do this if I contact American Home Shield and request you?” They said sure. The guy even took a look at it. He said, “I can already see. You've got some bad seals here.”
I notified American Home Shield and the only issue I had was they tried sending my order to Sears and Sears never reached out to me. When I called Sears, they said they had no record of the request from American Home Shield. I had to call American Home Shield probably four times saying the dishwasher was still leaking on the floor. I was getting upset because what if the water would start doing damage to the subfloor. Each representative at American Home Shield told me that they were reaching out to Sears and calling them, that they could see it in their system. But Sears could never see it in theirs.
By the second time I called, I requested for the first company that came out. They told me, “We can't move it until we hear back from Sears." But it had been a week or more and they haven't heard back from Sears, and I've called to complain numerous times. I wanted it changed. If a customer is having problems scheduling the appointment with the recommended service provider, there should be steps to where it's easy to cancel to get with a new provider and not drag it out for a week or two. You can wait a week or two if an electrical outlet is out but you can get damage, especially if there's a water issue. If the customer says, “No, I don't want to use Sears. I'm tired of calling them and getting the runaround. I want it changed,” they should be able to change that without saying, “We have to hear back from Sears first.”
It took almost two weeks before I finally got a rep at American Home Shield who was able to cancel the one for Sears and send it over Appliance Repair Specialist who called me right away and came out to double check. Before, the guy just took a quick peek and checked the seal. The second time he came out, he did a very thorough job and checked everything. There was a lot more wrong with the dishwasher that we knew and he ended up fixing everything. He was fantastic.
I've always been a fan of Sears, but not now. They never responded to American Home Shield or to us. But other than that, it was great. Being able to have a serviceperson promptly respond is very important and Appliance Repair Specialist did that so I’m grateful for them. This was the first time we've had to use American Home Shield. My sister, Shelly, has been encouraging me for a long time. But this house isn't that old so I was thinking what could possibly go wrong. She told me about the issue she had with her stove. They've had to use American Home Shield twice in a couple of years and both times, it gave them peace of mind. It's a good value for what you get. She told me, “For 50 bucks a month, wouldn't you rather have that peace of mind?” My husband checked and for the price, American Home Shield didn't look like a bad thing to do. I would recommend American Home Shield to anybody regardless of the age of their house.

Our jet pump for our well decided it was going to take a dive. It wasn't completely broken. It was enough where we could still use it. But we decided to be proactive and get American Home Shield and Harvey Contractors out before it became a big problem. It was time for it to go. They said it was 30 years old. They said it was double the lifespan that they normally have.
Harvey Contractors were good. There was one hiccup though. They had to do some piping work to make it fit properly, which I was totally okay with. They replaced some of the old beat up pipes with some new PVC pipes and it looks beautiful. Except where they would tighten it down where the new piping they put in went to the tank, they must have cranked it a little too hard. It split down the middle a few hours after they left. I called them and they said that I would have to contact American Home Shield again, which I thought was a little silly because they were only here a few hours ago. But they talked amongst themselves and decided to come out the next day to fix it.
We have another claim which is the oven and we've been waiting for a month. The technician that helped us with our oven said that American Home Shield is good. The problem with them is they scour the internet to find these replacement parts. They're very picky about replacing the whole unit, which I understand. They're really great at repairing things. The problem is getting the parts to repair it.
With American Home Shield, the experience was great. They were very informative. I’ve dealt with a lot of contractors being here for a number of reasons. One that I really thought was really great was when they dispatched a tech to my house and I've gotten a text message from the contractor with a picture of the person that was coming out.

American Home Shield seems to have a responsively good follow-up, which is great. But I wish their website is a little bit more intuitive with a little bit more detail on there. Our initial approach was that it was the icemaker. But that was my own fault because it was the refrigerator that was causing the problem. When I made the claim, American Home Shield had somebody come out. They notified somebody immediately but that person never notified me. We waited a week and I called AHS. I told them that the vendor hasn't made contact. So, they sent somebody else right on the spot. Frig Wiz did a great job. They came out and said that my refrigerator was still under the LG warranty. Therefore, LG was not gonna let them work on it because they were not certified LG technicians. So, they contacted an LG technician for me. He was a wonderful guy and absolutely awesome.

My last two calls with American Home Shield went well. The contractors came and they knew what they were doing. They got in and they got out. They came at the scheduled time that they were supposed to. In the very last thing that I used AHS for, I was able to schedule my appointments using the phone or using the prompt system. That was excellent because I didn't have to wait for long periods of time and it was 24/7. But prior to that, I had some difficulty with one company getting one thing fixed due to a miscommunication. The open windows were vague, between 9:00am and 4:00pm, and then at 5:00 I got a call that the contractor would not be able to make it. You do that a couple of times and I get little aggravated. I would suggest a narrower window for people who work.
I had American Home Shield for years, even with my last home. I had another service and I didn't like their services, so I switched back over to American Home Shield. At the time, it was the same price, which was about $50 a month. It went up about $17 and no one told me that. So, that was a little disturbing. I was considering switching to Cinch, which was about the same price I was paying before, because if you add it up after a year, it was a little bit more.

My claim with Americna Home Shield went through perfectly. They contracted a company, Cal-Home Construction, and they said that they would notify me within 24 hours from the time that the request was set up. At the time that I set up the claim, they gave me numbers I could call to reach out to. I used that to call Cal-Home Construction to schedule the service. They already had me in the system and they were to come out the following day. They said that they had called before. It must have been some miscommunication with my phone. The tech that came did an awesome job. He fixed the problem and I paid for the service.
From the period I started with American Home Shield until now, I've noticed that they have evolved as far as setting up appointments. It’s a lot more user-friendly and you have a lot more options. The times are changing as far as communication and things. They’re really on top of it and don't have the customer waiting for a contractor to come out or not being able to get in touch with them or the contractor. They’re really good about that. Also, I've never had a contractor come out and make a mess of any sort and walk away not having cleaned it. The only thing is I hate the fact that American Home Shield goes up every year.
Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with the work done.

We pulled the refrigerator away from the wall and it pulled the waterline to the fridge, which started leaking all over. I needed somebody fast because I had a big leak and I couldn't use my fridge. I called American Home Shield who has always been there for me. They had somebody calling and talking about appointments. I told them I had the water turned off so I had no water to my kitchen. Technicians couldn't come that day, which is understandable, so they scheduled to come the next day. A guy came out and he saw that it was a copper line, which doesn't make for a very flexible system. He clipped off the copper and put on some good clear plastic. He did that fast and was very efficient and professional. I love him.
The only time we've had a problem with American Home Shield was a year ago when we were getting an electrician. Sometimes they don't have as many companies to cover. But that's the way it is out here. Sometimes in the more rural areas, people don't trust a company like that as much because they have to pay American Home Shield to have them listed. But I've noticed that American Home Shield is more popular than they had been and they have a better coverage ratio. If they had somebody that could sell the home warranty to the service companies a little bit more, maybe they would have better coverage. Overall, I'm happy as a clam with them.

American Home Shield's service is fine. But when it comes to certain things, like the cost for the $100 service fee, it could be cheaper. When we had the garage serviced and we found out that it was just a prong that was poked in, that was not $100. It was just a matter of us unplugging the garage system and pulling the prongs out. The service fee should be reevaluated depending on what the service was provided. But the contractors with American Home Shield have been pretty honest as far as what we can see with diagnosing what the problems were.
We recently had a service where we had the contractor come out for the air conditioning. We have a 26-year-old system and since it's an older unit, the Freon that goes in there is not really available, where you have to pay so much more for it because it's not a common Freon anymore. So we had to pay almost $600 to get that. I understand replacing parts is sometimes cheaper. But we get that fixed and then something else goes wrong where we’re out of the $600 that we wasted for Freon that you can't even really buy anymore. American Home Shield should be doing what really makes sense for the end result for the company and the customer.

Do not waste your money on this company. Their customer service department is more than terrible. First of all "American Home Shield" only is headquartered in Tenn by paper only. Every time I call, they forward me to another country, of which you can barely understand them. I have been going in circles with them since Jun and this is Sept. My ac doesn't need to be fixed but their contractor, Macks ac. says that I need a bigger unit. This is not true, at the time my home was built this unit was code approved and maybe the code has changed. I just need my directional dampers replaced, they all know it. Any time I ask to speak to a supervisor, they say that there is not one available. Please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

American Home Shield (AHS) customer service is among the worst I have ever dealt with. I have a serious issue that needs addressing and ALL customer service issues are handled by overseas operators who barely speak English and have NO ability to affect any issue. The AHS website itself has no way to contact customer service. (Their website search engine has "nothing found" when I searched for "customer service"!!!) - A home warranty company is only as good as their contractors and AHS seems unable to pick good ones. The issue I am dealing with right now is a serious A/C issue (17 days now without A/C in TEXAS!) that AHS seems unconcerned with. While we have had good results sometimes, it is literally hit or miss with AHS and customer service for issues that need resolution is non-existent.

I opened an account with AHS thinking that it would help with my home maintain needs, but nothing could be further from the truth. Over the course of a year while being a customer in perfect payment status I requested service on three different occasions and all resulted in me getting the runaround and ultimately having to pay to have the problem fixed myself. I tried to cancel and kept getting the runaround by customer service about calling at a certain time which I think is a ploy to keep you paying for a useless service. They got annoyed when I spoke about canceling the service and I was blind transferred to a non-monitored line.
I called at least 6 times and this happened. In all scenarios when I requested service after learning it would be up to 14 days before someone could come out I called in and tried get an earlier visit as the surrounding infrastructure was being water damaged I was told the service provider couldn’t be changed. Which is also very unreasonable considering if I waited 14 days for someone to come out I would have incurred much more damage from the leak. I feel completely slighted that I trusted AHS and now I’m out of $600 for a year of service I never received. The one star this review is receiving is because I could do it with no stars. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY STEER CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY.

The technician was awesome. He came in and asked the right questions. We showed him where the problem was and he was able to diagnose the problem. He filled the first unit with freon up to where it should be and replaced the wire on the second one. He was very respectful and wore his mask. I was pleased.

The ac was just blowing air. I had to call in to American Home Shield for it because there was something wrong with my account where I couldn't submit it online. But even the call was great. I waited for 10 minutes, then I got right through. I wanted the tech to come out on a Thursday and he made it work. He came out for us. Great personality. He does everything administratively himself, too. He was just so busy. Because when I called him to schedule a time for him to come out later that week, he said, “Oh, yeah, I have to call you back.” And I said, “Well, can I ask for this date around this time?” And he said, “I gotta look, let me call you back.” Within five to 10 minutes, I got an email confirmation. He scheduled it for the day and time I asked for it. The AC works. It’s blowing cold air now.
Some of the repairs could be cheaper, but it's not always going to be that every time. It’s that peace of mind. I was just joking with my husband, “Man, this might be the year nothing's gonna happen.” Then that happened. It was so close to the one year. I plan on renewing because of how well AHS has been taking care of us this year. I used to have another provider, and they would pick almost the worst rating contractor. They were good, but it was like pulling teeth. The contractor they picked left the work and never even came back until five months later, supposedly waiting on a part. But the contractors that AHS picks are top-notch. They have great reviews, and are friendly too. And that’s what a lot of homeowners don’t expect, is that they expect home warranties are going to go with the low balling people, because that means they are not putting out money too much. But AHS doesn't do that.

Our shower upstairs had been leaking for a couple of weeks. I made a claim with AHS.

American Home Shield has been doing well for me for the years that I've had it. Claims usually are always taken care of. I only had one incident that wasn't due to mechanical failure and one out of the couple times that I've had them come out is okay to me. The only thing is, I keep seeing the price steadily climb. When I started, I was paying under $70 a month, and now, I'm almost paying 81 when their competitors are offering the same services for 70 or less.
American Home Shield should review their competitors' prices and give their loyal customers the same range that their competitors are. Still, my advice to people would be to always have a home warranty regardless. I would go with American Home Shield because I want my stuff protected and myself covered in case anything happens. Accidents happen all the time. My oven broke. I couldn't use it for a year and I totally forgot I even had American Home Shield. They came out and fixed it for 75 bucks.

I logged in a report for three appliances on the 5th of June of this year. Up to date, my refrigerator issue has not been fully resolved. Express Appliances was the contractor and they are a mixed bag. The gentleman took two and a half hours to do a little fix and he was very diligently doing it, but I'm not sure of his competence level. He installed the gasket and after that, the fridge door was not closing properly. I have heavy-duty boxes placed in front of the fridge to keep them closed. Every time I have to pull out stuff, I have to first move those boxes then open the refrigerator.
That aside, the refrigerator was cooling. I was given a temporary fix and was told that he would order some new hinges for the door. The parts arrived in bits and pieces, which is an American Home Shield’s issue. I made at least seven calls to them every few days to remind them about my part and they kept on saying they would let me know. I’m disappointed with American Home Shield.
I want the service to be faster. You cannot have a refrigerator at home that is not functioning in the month of summer. For the whole of June, July, and August, I lived without a refrigerator and a microwave. Even the microwave was repaired after two and a half months. If my report was logged in on the 5th of June, the latest repair should have been by the 15th or 20th of June. These are simple fixes. But the techs didn’t have the right parts. There was also a communication gap between American Home Shield and the contractor.
We have a very good social network here. By rotation, we have parties. We were not able to throw a party at our turn and people were laughing saying, “How can you have a refrigerator not working for three months?” When we told them that it was because of American Home Shield, they were laughing at how it is such an incompetent company. They gave names for some of the competitor home warranties they are using and told us how they have been much happier with those companies.
American Home Shield had a few contractors who were very good like the one who came and repaired my microwave. The tech tried to go out of the way to help me with certain things. But there was one tech who I had to run after. He walked in with a lot of attitude. The guy said, “I want everything on the floor. You didn’t keep it ready. I’m going.” He did that twice. I told the manager, Nicole, that I do not want that guy ever in my house. I'm not a handyman that I'm able to uninstall a microwave, which is fixed on the wall. It took me and my son half an hour to do that. But that tech was very rude.
Another thing is most of American Home Shield's call centers are in the Philippines. They used to speak to me with no answers whatsoever. I asked them to have the call escalated to a manager and I was promised seven times that within 24 to 48 hours, a manager would call back. But there was not a single manager from American Home Shield who called back. I then would call them back.

They did fix my pool heater, so that was really good. But one thing I'd like to see them do is not be so rigid on the area that they get people from. We live in Kitsap County, and they're trying to get people from Pierce County or from King County to come over here. Those people don't want to come over here to work on stuff because it's too far away.

The one was for my electric for my house and the central vac was one of them. The other one was for my cooktop that didn't work and it had a hairline crack in it. So, I paid the difference and I upgraded with them. That was great. But the first people that they set me up with for my electric and central vac do not do central vac. The tech doesn't know anything about central vacs. So, AHS had to schedule me with the second person that came. Both people that came were great.
The repairs helped big time. We couldn't cook at the house. That was pretty hard. Also, we couldn't vacuum the house. We had to go buy a temporary small vacuum just to use in the meantime until we got it replaced. The central vac guy knows what he was doing. He was very educated in what he did. He knew what the problem was. On the other hand, for the cooktop, it was diagnosed over the phone. They knew what the problem was. Then, AHS deemed it was unrepairable and had to replace it. So, the whole puzzle went great with everything. I'd tell people to go with AHS 100%.

We've been with American Home Shield for over 20 years, and I would tell anybody, "Just make sure they're living by the ad that they're putting out there and saying to people." I want American Home Shield to live by it. Even if they don't do it in 24 hours, at least say, “Okay, well, it might not be 24 hours. It might be 48 hours.” I don't like the fact that they say, “24 hours, we will have someone out, or we will get back with you.” That's not the case. It usually takes them up to three or four days before someone calls us back then the contractors that they get, a lot of them run late sometimes. It's come to the point that their prices went up to $91 a month, and my husband and I were thinking about going with someone else, but we’ve been with American Home Shield so long.
Two years ago, our AC went out and it took us a week before they got someone to come out. I didn't understand what was the issue with the contractor that they had. When I called to have someone to come out to get services in August, it took so long, and I just got it done last week. It took a long time for the part to come, but they came on Monday, the 6th last week, and fixed it.

We've had an issue in the past with a previous home, and part of the problem was that American Home Shield had not vetted the plumbers that had come out as well as I thought they should, and they were non-responsive to my concerns or complaints. We were with a competitor in the interim, but now, we're back. I did a claim for my faulty garbage disposal online and the website was much better than average. It was functional. Some websites are very difficult because the programmers either don't have a lot of experience in dealing with whatever it is their programming, so they don't cover all of the possible outcomes or problems. American Home Shield's website handled my issue just fine and I was able to get it done in short order and move on.
The motor on my garbage disposal was freezing up when you turn the switch on and if you left the switch on too long, the thermocouple cut in and would stop the power going to the motor, so it was not spinning at all. The unit that was put in was not the same brand. It was a generic unit and it has a completely different sound in terms of garbage disposals than what I'm accustomed to. However, I'm getting used to the new sound, and we'll see if it continues to work well.

American Home Shield’s service has been very good. The contractors they usually send out are professional and knowledgeable. We had to have our refrigerator fixed twice and I recently got a new set of hinges for my dishwasher. They've repaired our stove before and we also had them out to look at our washing machine. I recently had my garage door repaired too. The claims process works well and I haven't had any problem with any of the technicians that have come out. They have all been very pleasant. With having AHS, I like the convenience of making one phone call and then having people come out and fix the issue. We're very satisfied.

I had an AC outage. I diagnosed it myself and I talked to the contractor on the phone to schedule an appointment. I told them what I thought the problem was. The tech verified that's what it was. He had it fixed in five minutes. He was super easy to work with. My experience with American Home Shield has been really good. I've decided to renew my home warranty and keep it going with them. If you're the type person who doesn't like having to schedule a bunch of different service people to your house it makes it easy where you just let American Home Shield handle all that. I pay $100 for each service call. But other than that, it’s covered. For instance, the AC job, that would have probably cost me $300 out of pocket. And even with my monthly membership fee of like $70, I'm still at $170 for that service call. That's totally reasonable.
Thanks for letting us know how everything is going so far. Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with your experience up to this point.

My first claim with American Home Shield so far has been good. I'm very satisfied. My AC was clogged and the process was fast and quick. I put it in on a Wednesday then two days later, someone was out. He was wonderful. He informed me that I needed a new one because mine was a little bit older. I'm in the process of buying a new one from him as he was so helpful.

The unit was going on and off very quickly and we could hear this swishing noise coming out of the air conditioner in the basement where the unit is. We heard that last year too. We had a new air conditioner, which American Home Shield helped us with four years ago. So, I was pleased with that and I thought about calling them and have them come and take a look at it. The tech came and he noticed that there was gunk totally caked on the outside of the air conditioner. It was terrible. So, he undid it all and washed it down. He checked the condenser and the Freon and everything worked great. He put it back on and told us what we could do or how we need to do it ourselves. And everything has worked fine since. We don't hear the sound. He was very professional, courteous and did everything the way it should have been.
We also had some issues with the leaking water heater and the same company fixed that fine too. The only thing is, when we had the air conditioner replaced four years ago, it was right before my daughter's wedding and it was in the middle of July. We were sleeping in the basement for two weeks. So, the timeframe was a little long in order to get that air conditioner replaced. But I'm not complaining. We were good with it and we made it work. It’s still a response. AHS was in touch with me the whole time. For what I have them for, it has worked very well.
Some of the homeowners look at it asking why they have to pay for a warranty service and that they already have house insurance. We pay American Home Shield $50 a month but when your air conditioner goes out, your furnace goes out, it's $5,000. When you're fortunate enough that you don’t have to pay that $5,000, it's worth it. My son-in-law is thinking about doing it and my mother-in-law is on American Home Shield. It’s like having an insurance policy that you never use but it's there if you need it.

I compared a lot of the programs, and American Home Shield covers a lot more stuff than other companies do. When the water heater was leaking and it wasn't working, the contractor came and they were very pleasant. They were quick and nice. The water heater has been working great since the service.
Thanks for reaching out to provide that feedback. I am glad the contractors followed through with the appointment that was set but happier for you that your issue has been resolved.

My AC wasn't cooling. The techs came out pretty quickly and took care of the problem. American Home Shield has been good to me. Everything seems to work right now. Submitting claims has been pretty simple. I've done some research on them and it's always good to lay everything out so everything is known. Everything that's covered is written, and everything that's not covered is also in the paperwork, so there are no surprises.

I had a dripping faucet in the bathroom. The techs were tidied up to come a day or so later. When they left, everything seemed fine but the faucet kept dripping. So, I called the contractor and they said, "We'll be happy to come out.". They called back and said, "You got to call American Home Shield and set up a recall through them." So I did and they came out a day later and replaced the other cartridge. It works fine. They were very nice, courteous and thorough. I'm very pleased with them.

The first day we were here, the air conditioner broke and it works fine now. The contractor was fast. The second day we were here, the septic system broke but nobody was sent out. I had to replace the broken part by myself and I still haven't gotten the refund. So it was not fantastic.

We've had American Home Shield for years, so we're pretty comfortable with it. It takes the worry out if something goes wrong. In our recent claim, Metro Air Services came out for our AC. They had to come out more than once and they were very professional through the whole thing. They fixed the problem and we were pretty happy. I actually called their boss and told him how great the kid did when he came.
