    Our washer stopped working and the Express Appliance Service techs replaced the dial in the pump. They also said there was a loose wire on the pump and they had to order it. The techs were really good. I'm happy with the service that I've received so far.

    The first tech who came out was really nice and he was cool. The second one was with a different company that they sent for this part that I had to get and he asked me to take the stuff out of the top of the refrigerator. I asked him if that was all that he needed me to take out and he said yes. He hollered out to me when he was done and told me that if it doesn’t cool off again, to unplug it and wait 24 hours. He left and when I went to my kitchen, he took everything out of the bottom of my refrigerator. He put it in the sink and put it on the counter and he didn’t even tell me. Why didn’t he just tell me to do it? There was a bunch of water on the floor from the stuff and I had to clean it up. Maybe AHS could put a memo or something to the contractors to not do kind of the things that I experienced with taking all my stuff out of the refrigerator and leaving not telling me stuff was out. Other than that, it wasn’t bad. The repairmen AHS has sent out have done good.

    I like American Home Shield. They've always been good to me. When I first signed up, I did have some issues, but once they got it great, it's been fine. I talk to an agent when I submit claims and they do what needs to be done. Also, the workers that have been out have been good and quality work is done.

    American Home Shield sends someone out when I call for service. I simply call and tell them what I need. Sometimes it’s a recorder on and they will assign someone, let me know who they’re assigning and give me their phone number. Usually, whoever they assign will call me and set up a date. So far, so good, except my rate has gone up and I remember the cost during the time that I used them more times. Sometimes things happen and then you have that long time when you don't need them for a minute. During that time, my plan went up. If I paid back to my original price, I would be happy with that.

    As soon as American Home Shield had done it on any and all my claims, they will notify me of whoever they contracted, and then an estimated time of arrival. By the time Sigmond Plumbing got here, they were here an hour later than the 2:00 to 4:00, and they got here by 5:00. But that's not their fault. It was traffic. They had a nice little map of, "Hey, we're on our way. Well, you're all the way down here." They initially estimated 45 minutes, it would take them an hour and a half to get here, and they did, which is fine. They arrived and went through and did okay. Nothing wrong with the washing machine, but the drain itself was clogged somewhere down underneath the house. I had to run a snake myself. But I only had a 25-foot line. Sigmond ran a longer line. They were a couple in their 20s and they were knowledgeable.

    My washer was having issues and the contractor came down and diagnosed the issue. He said I would probably need to replace it. Then he went back to his agency/company and checked if they had parts available. It was kind of a complicated part to replace and they gave me a call back to say it was gonna be a replacement. They explained to me what was going to happen next, such as they were gonna close the work order as complete and then I was supposed to deal with AHS directly for the replacement. So on Calvary Appliance's part, everything was fine, but it was a different story with the replacement part.

    When I called customer service at AHS, they gave me their replacement department number. But sometimes, it would be take up to two hours to get ahold of the replacement department. It was ridiculous. Sometimes they have an option that they would call back if you press one. I finally got ahold of them after trying to call them for a week. They resent the email and they told me to check the spam box. There was an email but it was wrong. Their replacement offer was for a dryer and at a different price. I didn't even know that I got the email because it went to the spam box automatically. They should address the automatic email issue so emails like Gmail does not automatically identify it as a spam.

    The lady on the phone corrected the issue system and sent me an email with the correct replacement for a washer with the correct price. However, on both emails, it said, "To confirm the reimbursement offer, click here." There would be a hyperlink that redirects you to whatever page to confirm it for AHS and that it was okay taking this offer. However, that "click here" part was just a plain text and not a hyperlink, so it didn't take you anywhere. Once again, it took two hours on the phone to get ahold of them. I tried to address it with the customer service for AHS. They sent an email to their replacement department and they tried to connect me with them today as well, which I waited 40 minutes but there was no answer.

    Sometimes AHS is great and their communication works. You place a work order and everything kind of falls as it should, and you don't have wait time to communicate either between the company or the contractor. But sometimes I try to call them every day for the next week, and hopefully, I can get through. I understand some of it is not their fault because there's COVID and they have much more work or requests. So I'm not too upset. But I wish there were more venues to address issues, such as, their online chat doesn't work all the time. They have that option and it's great. But sometimes, you don't get the person to reply to you. Then you try to call them and it's a ridiculous amount of time to try to get to talk to somebody.

    We bought the house in March and the refrigerator ice maker did not produce ice nor water. We delayed and finally decided to use our warranty and call them in on the icemaker. So, the refrigerator repair guy came, and he said, “There's no water coming to the refrigerator from the wall. So, that's a plumbing issue. I can't do anything. We'll send somebody else, as a plumber.”

    We later scheduled a plumber, and he figured out that there wasn't any problem in the wall with the water. It was under the sink that the previous owners had removed a reverse osmosis filter, which was in line toward the refrigerator. They never reconnected the refrigerator, so it's just a piping connection. There were no pieces there. They didn't leave the proper fitting to connect the two pipes, the water supply to the hose going to the refrigerator. So, they left, they said it would be $375 to come back and fix that. I said, “Nevermind. I'll do it myself.” So, I went to the hardware store. For less than $10, I bought two little pieces and connected it myself. But I didn't know that when I moved into the house. I didn't understand the piping configuration under the sink. The plumber helped me figure what has to go where, and then I did it.

    The plumber guy dropped his COVID mask several times, and that was kind of discomforting. But, he's under the sink. My wife and I were really concerned. We're in our 70s. We had some fans blowing out the window. We were staying away and protecting ourselves. We figured he got to do his job. Overall, American Home Shield is dependable. They came when they said they were going to come and took care of business when they were here. This is a first time having a home warranty, and it worked out quite well.

    AHS is very reputable. We've kept them since 2009. We've never had an issue and everything's been fair. They've done what they said they would do. I recently did a claim for the garbage disposal that wasn't working. The company called the next day and made appointment for the next day. It was fast. The guy was very nice and respectful to seniors. He had his mask on and kept a distance. What I liked was he didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. The garbage disposal was frozen up. If you take an Allen wrench, turn it backwards and loosen it up, it's fine. Something was stuck in there. It wasn't necessary to do anything else but he didn't try to run the bill up which a lot of people do. He was honest.

    There was a seal that was leaking on my pool pump. I called up American Home Shield and submitting the claim was fairly easy. They said that someone would contact us in a day or two but we got contacted the same day we filed the claim. Then, the techs from ABNation came out and they took a look at the pump. They noticed what needed to be done right away which was replacing the housing unit for the pump. It took about two days or so to get it, then they came back out and installed it. Since they’ve been here, everything's working fine.

    I did some research online because I wanted to get my appliances insured. Based on the reviews that American Home Shield got, I decided to use them. Submitting a claim was quick. Everything was done online. The technician that came the last time was very good, very quick, and very professional. He was wearing a mask. Our furnace, as of today, is working fine. Before this guy came, we had another technician who repaired our stove. That took a much longer time than we anticipated, and we had difficulty communicating with the technician because we didn't speak his language and he didn't speak English. So, it was very difficult.

    American Home Shield's claim process went pretty good. But I had a few shaky experiences with some plumbers and I didn't want them to come back and do the job because they left me in limbo. They cut out a section of pipe. They left my sink clogged up. They said that they come out and do the job and when they leave, something else happens. But they couldn't touch the sink right then and I would have to call Home Shield. I didn't quite understand that.

    I told Home Shield that I wanted someone else. They sent Patriot, which I had had before. Patriot was top of the line and I've been liking their service. They did pretty well when they came out for the sink. The front sink was clogged and their guy cleared up one part of it. But he didn't do the half bath. Something was compromised with the half bath and he didn't unstop that. It's something about the attachments on the floor and he couldn't mess with it.

    We found out that there was a leak in one of the pipes which is attached to the mainline. We contacted the home warranty, and they, in turn, assigned Adam’s for repair work. They came and fixed the issue. I usually go online and schedule something with American Home Shield, or just raise a request for repair or some service. The only thing was when I created a service request for a leak, they've come and fixed the pipe where the leak was. But within two days’ time, we found out that there was another leak in a different pipe. I don't know how to handle those sorts of things. There might be other people who have experienced similar things. So, it really helps us to look for some of the issues which we don't know in person, or because we don't have the knowledge.

    We’re new to the house so we were wanting to get the furnace checked out. Techs came twice and they did a great job. The first time was to look it over. The tech found something but he said that he needed to check with somebody at American Home Shield to see if it's covered. It was a little louver in our system that was not moving. I then had the techs come back because the capacitor was needing to be replaced.

    Originally, I had set up a fall inspection of our furnace but the contractor that was assigned never communicated with me. I called back and they were rescheduled or canceled. A woman cancelled that contract and set up a new one. Technicians came and everything's been great since.

    American Home Shield does a pretty good job at getting things resolved but some of the contractors are a little lax in getting it done. I have an open claim now for my dryer and that's been a month. Also, I needed to get my plumbing replaced and I thought it was in the process of getting that but AHS said that they still hadn't received the report from K&S Plumbing. But that's the only bad part of that claim. When K&S came in and did the work, it was quick and efficient. They had two people come in and they did a really good job.

    I made a call and once AHS found out what the problem was, they knew who to call. They got the right person out and he was very pleasant and professional. I had to change out my faucet in the shower and fix my toilet ‘cause it wasn't filling up. The guy came in, did it, and did a great job. I liked him.

    The washer wasn't spinning. I called AHS and they called me and said that Limelite would come. They said if I want to wait for the call, I can but they also gave me Limelite's phone number so I can call. I called Limelite and their guy said he would be out. He was prompt. He went downstairs and he said it was the motherboard that went out. He said it would take about a week for the motherboard to come in. It was a Monday and he said by the following Monday, he would be back and he would have the motherboard. But after they fix the washing machine, I washed clothes and put them in the dryer and the dryer is not working. I had to do the process all over again and I asked for the tech from Limelite. AHS is professional and courteous and they take care of their customers.

    When we hit the open button, the garage door would open a little bit and close back down. It was like the motor was pulling back and forth. I went online and made a service request. The Home Shield website was fine. They usually said that within 24 hours, somebody would call. A tech came and he was fine. He kept his boots in. He messed around with the thing and unplugged a wire or two. He then set up a remote control and set the wire that’s now left unplugged. It took no more than 10 minutes and he said the garage door was fixed and was on his way. Our garage door can be opened now. We're cleaning out the garage so that's been very helpful. Our experience has been great overall.

    My fridge was not working properly and there was something with the stove. The guy that came was perfect. He told me what was up. He fixed the stove but he couldn’t fix the fridge. American Home Shield did the buyout option and that was a pain. I had to keep calling to ask what was going on and they said that I needed to go to the replacement department. They would try to transfer me then they'd say they were so busy and they'd call me. I never got a call or an email.

    I went through Thanksgiving without a fridge. I got so frustrated that I called again and demanded to speak to a supervisor. They finally connected me and they said, “You didn't get a email? You can go ahead and either pick out a fridge or the buyout, or we'll send you a Lowe's e-card.” I don't know when that decision was made. No one contacted me from American Home Shield. It was a horrible experience. I'm finally glad I have the fridge but that process was too much. I was on the phone for an hour and 20 minutes to finally get somebody on the phone. I was working so I had to be counted out of work because it took so long with me being on the phone.

    Submitting claims was easy once I figured it out. I submitted a claim for the air conditioner online but it wasn’t digging down into the claim. There was no way to do a comment on it. I called the company that was assigned, Air Control Experts, and told them what's going on. My motor broke and so did my heat pump. The motor and the fan were laying in the bottom of the heat pump. A comment box on the website to provide any additional information would have been really handy. Luckily, I already had purchased an extra motor. We had to wait on the new fan but luckily, they could get new fan blades for me. Other than that, I really liked the guys that were out here. They answered any of my questions and were very professional.

    Sears came in, thought they knew what was wrong with the unit and replaced it. It ended up not working out but the warranty company is replacing the unit. They did a good job of relaying what needed to be done. They couldn't have done a better job. AHS did everything I expected. They took care of the problem I had. Nobody followed up with me about replacing the unit and I probably spent four hours total waiting on the phone between my three different calls to try to get that taken care of but overall, I'm happy with how it worked out.

During COVID, it has been an issue getting the scheduling done. It was June that there was an issue where we had to wait four weeks to get a contractor. But after that, we had a bad taste in our mouth from that section. We just did a claim. The only problem that we had with the contractor was they went to the wrong place.

    My recent issue was with my washing machine. It's easy to submit the claim to Home Shield on the internet. Astro was very responsive and showed up when they said they would. They had to come out twice. Initially, the unit ran a lot longer than it was supposed to and it was way off balance. It shook really bad even on low spin. So, the contractor had to change out the level indicator and then one of the suspension rods. After they did that, it started getting off balance immediately. They came back and fixed that. Knock on wood, it's working now. The tech was very good.

    I bought American Home Shield home warranty to have peace of mind by paying a premium and thought these guys will take care of things when they will break. I guess most people buy these warranties for that reason. They have horrible service, and you may not get the peace of mind that you hoped for, they don’t even have the correct information ported back to their system from their vendor. Their vendors don’t even speak English and will do mostly diagnosis based on guesses. They told me a different diagnosis than the technician on the ground. They didn’t care about my time, the safety of my family and even didn’t respect their own contract terms.

    Normal customer call takes a minimum of 30 minutes and I tried to escalate my case that took more than 90 minutes twice. They won’t replace a unit until a contractor tells them to do so and contractors (3 of them) told me that they will either keep replacing the parts or they will say they can’t fix but they will never mention replace it (I think a directive from AHS itself).

    Original Problem: The dishwasher is not drying dishes. FYI:
    1) This incident is in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    2) Full Dishwasher cycle takes 3.5 hours and no technician wants to wait to verify if the problem is actually fixed.

    This has been 8 weeks since I reported my dishwasher was not able to dry the dishes and 3 contractors have made 9 visits. They are not able to fix the original issue and in addition, they have broken a few parts in the dishwasher. They want to send the 4th contractor and if they can’t fix it they will send the 5th contractor and will keep going.

    1st Contractor (ANTECH APPLIANCES, INC): Made 2 actual visits and one no show. 1st visit: Technician told me some part was loose and he has fixed the problem. Outcome: Dishes are still not drying. 2nd visit: Cancelled without notice, I waited for this guy for 4 hours to learn he is not going to show up. 3rd visit: Different technician came to my home, was using a translator app to communicate and recommended Dishwasher company should come and fix the issue. Outcome: The machine stopped working completely, I was not even able to start the machine.

    2nd Contractor (GREEN WIRE APPLIANCE REPAIR LLC): Made 6 visits. 1st visit: Told me some switch is not working and will replace it. 2nd visit: Different technician came and told me the previous guys' diagnosis was wrong, those switches are working file. He recommended changing the mainboard. 3rd visit: After changing the board, the dishwasher still didn’t start. He recommended changing the door lock mechanism. 4th visit: After changing the door lock mechanism, the dishwasher still didn’t start. He recommended changing the top panel control board. 5th visit: After changing the top panel machine started but the top panel cover was broken, and dishes were still not drying. 6th visit: Told me he doesn’t know how to fix it and left with no instructions on the next steps.

    Notes: Most of the time technician was doing guesswork diagnosis, asked multiple times how he knows something is not working, and had no explanation. The good part was he was speaking English, so I did not have to use a translator to communicate. These guys were quick in response, but 6 visits are a lot. Outcome: Dishes are not drying and now the top control panel cover is broken.

    3rd Contractor (Expert Appliance Services): Made 1 visit. 1st visit: Total time took 1.5 hours and I was using a translator for the entire time as the guy mostly knew Russian and I don’t know the language. Most of the time he spent asking me what the original problem and what the last guy was did. He diagnosed that the heating element is not working without even touching it. When I pushed back, he opened up the whole machine, used an external device to conclude that the heating element is working fine. He said he doesn’t know how to fix this and left. AHS Response: They want to send 4th contractor and won’t guarantee any quality of service. Their technician won’t provide any written note to me and if 4th contractor can’t fix it they will assign 5th one and so on.

I've been with American Home Shield for over 20 years, and I keep having the issue about a service technician coming out, then they give a reason or something why they can't fix it. They give a reason why it's broke like the dishwasher, the tech said it wasn't clean. It wasn't working, so we’ve had the service technician out. I paid $75 for a technician to come out to tell me that he can't do anything. To us, lately, it's like AHS doesn't have any concern at all.

I spoke with someone who was helpful, but said it wasn't covered. It was something that was attached to the house, but outside the house. So, she said it would not be covered. She tried to get someone. That was on Monday and they couldn't get somebody to me until Friday.

    Read your contract. Make sure you know what you're covered for. And then, weigh out your options. If you're in a home that needs a lot of coverage for it, double check the contract to make sure that you're getting the things that you need covered covered because there are options.

    A repair guy from JL Services came for the dryer. It was the starter and he said, in the beginning, he was going to try and fix it. He worked on it for a while and every time he would start it, it would go off again. It looked like it wasn't going to work. He said it was out of his hands and that he'd be sending that information to American Home Shield and they would be contacting me.

    They told me it was going to be delivered at a certain time at a certain date. I called AHS and I waited on the line. It was terrible. I spent days and days on the phone and they never answered. The customer service reps were always very nice but they couldn’t tell me anything. They had to put me through to the warranty department or the purchase department. Then, even after one rep said she was gonna text and email different departments to at least call me, I never had anybody call me. I was given the telephone number of the person it was shipped to and that they had it on the fourth of December.

    I was upset. I was out without a dryer for a long time and I had to keep lugging the laundry all over the place to get it dried. It took a while but I've received the new unit. Everything’s great. I felt kind of bad because I don’t think it was American Home Shield, it was these delivery people. All the times that I called, it wasn't on their computer and it was already there. But AHS needs to get their communications set up better where if they're that busy, they can call people back.

    I was having problems with the microwave which started in September. It would knock the breaker out, then I would go back out there to the breaker and tick it back on. And it would work for a little while, then, it would go out again. I submitted a claim with AHS after the techs finally came back here about five times, they got the microwave where they said it was working. But the technicians that came out were very good. I could understand them doing their job. It just looked like they couldn't get it done.

    But one night, the microwave was hadn't been on but it knocked the breaker out. While we were in the house, all of a sudden, the lights went off in the dining room and in the hallway. It was so loud and we smelled like something was burning but we couldn't see anything burning. And the microwave was very hot to touch. So, I called American Home Shield that night and asked them if they would send out an electrician because I believe that the microwave had caused something to go wrong up in the attic. They told me if I had an electrician to come out, I would have to pay another $75. But I had just paid one $75 when a tech came out for the microwave before.

    In the end, I agreed to the charge and American Home Shield sent out an electrician. He came right out and said that the burning thing that we smelled was from a light fixture up in the attic. But I doubt that very seriously because the smell was very intense. But then, he said he fixed the electricity and we haven’t had any more problems with it. Despite that, I still don't know what went on in that attic that night and my family was afraid to really sleep in the house because we didn't know what had gone on up in that attic. I also still believe that what happened had something to do with the microwave.

He diagnosed the problem quickly. In that occasion, American Home Shield was quite good. However, the engineer that the contractor brought tried to inflate the job. He told American Home Shield that it was a very big job and needed extra authorization, which AHS refused to do. I got somebody out that did it for $50. In general, the Home Shield is bad.

    The shower in the master bathroom was backed up good and then, it somehow met with the toilets, too. So, when you flush the toilets, they don't go down and it would bubble up. The technician was great. He knew exactly what the problem was and got right to it. He went to the main drain and stuffed 80 feet of stick down there and got it unclogged. It's easy to get the problem fixed with American Home Shield.

    Legum's Heating & Cooling did well. The first time they came out, they thought they fixed my issue but the problem resurfaced in days. When they came out recently, they swapped out the thermostat and that has seemed to solve the issue. There was a time when AHS sent somebody to work on my water heater and he left it in a risky condition. They wanted to send the same fellow back. I didn't think he was competent to do the job so I had to go pay for everything myself to get it fixed.

    Overall, AHS has totally been beneficial. I've had it since 2003 when I bought my house. I've mentioned to people that it was a great comfort as a first-time homeowner that something like this existed. I've been very pleased with AHS. If they had a consolidated plan that would allow for both maintenance and repair, it would feel better than what I've got. My budget is tight and having to choose between one or the other is an issue.

    The most recent claim was for a laundry washer. The pump went bad so it wasn't draining. The guy showed up when he said he would and got it fixed relatively quickly with no issues. Outside of this last claim, American Home Shield hasn't been very good. I’m not thrilled with them getting people to come out to do the work. They'll say that they'll get someone out to the property within 48 hours. However, that hasn't been what I found. In fact, they’ll assign a contractor and the contractor will say that they can't come out for a week. I'll call American Home Shield and they'll say, “We can’t assign another contractor because we've already assigned one.” I'll tell them they're not coming out for weeks. They'll wait for the 48 hours to elapse then they'll assign another contractor. For the last case, it took a whole week to get someone to finally come out.

    I filed two claims to American Home Shield for the same issue. Our heater wasn't working. The first person tried to sell me a thermostat. It would have been a service charge. They had to put a new thermostat on, and that didn't sound right to me because the new thermostat is like 20 bucks. I had a second person come out. I paid the service fee again, had the second person come out and the tech pulled the thermostat off. He was like, "Yeah. You just need a jumper wire." So, all it was missing was a little inch and a half piece of copper wire connecting to the port in the thermostat. He fixed it. The heater's working fine.

    The first guy that came out was a phenomenal human being. I loved him. His name was Keith. I just don't know if he really knew a whole lot of what he was doing, which is unfortunate so we had to have another guy come out. The second guy was the same thing.

So, I contacted him back, and then he resubmitted it again, and then it actually got into the system. To get the claim approved, it was the next day as to when he would come out and look at it. And then, it was two weeks after for the part to get because he submitted it but it didn't go through the first time. That was the only issue with the whole thing. He came out, looked at the fridge the first time, and finally got the thing submitted for the parts. And then, when the part came in, he came right out and worked on it. It took him three hours to get it working. Everything has been working great ever since.

    I've only started with AHS for my rental property in May, and immediately, I had an air conditioning problem. It was awful because I couldn't get through and it took them three people to come out because they didn't do a Zune system. In the middle of it, my tankless water heater went out, and it went lickety-split. Both of those cost me out of pocket because of modifications and dimension changes, but it still was a lot less. Then, things were fine.

    I did pre-season checks with AHS. I've been waiting to get information because there's a thermostat that's not working and I need to get a filter. Meanwhile, I had the furnace check here, which was lickety-split and it was fine. But I've had a smoke detector that went off a couple of times over the years. It went off at 4:30 in the morning a couple of months ago. I had somebody come out and they said it was too close to the fan and put them back in. I had them all dangling because of batteries and I've changed batteries. Then on Thanksgiving, it started going off again every 10 minutes at 4:00 in the afternoon. So I've had to take them down and wedge this piece of paper to stop the contact.

    I've been fighting with AHS that they didn't fix the smoke detector. The tech guy tried to say one was too near the fan and so I'd have to move it but AHS has denied that. It's still a pain in the ** and we have three of them down now. So they're sending somebody else today. I was told that if they have the same report, then I have to pay another $100. If they don't, then I don't need to pay, and we'll go from there. So it's a hit or miss.

    In the end, the home warranty was well worth it. The only problem was getting them to answer the phone. Although I called some other number and it got answered right away. So, I haven't had the problem I had before with trying to find out. I do my claims online all the time. But one time, I stayed on the phone for an hour and a half, and this was a Friday after hours. I talked to somebody in Georgia who was very sweet and was sorry and called the contractor, and then the next day had left me a lengthy message. So when you get the people on the phone, they're very helpful. I tell people that they have to be prepared for what AHS is. The contractors they deal with are not your local ones necessarily, but it doesn't mean they can't do the job.

    I don't feel like enough of the heater work is being covered by the warranty. But per the guidelines that I was given, American Home Shield just covers the heater and nothing else. But there is other work involved with replacing a heater that should be included in the future. The parts that they don't cover like the ductwork and the gas line that runs to the heater are required so they should be included in the warranty, not just the heater. Usually, if you replace a heater, you have to replace most of those things as well. So, AHS should budget to include those items in a heater replacement. But the people I've talked to on the phone have been good. There was one gentleman I spoke to about the heater that was hard to understand. There were some language barriers there. But other than that, the customer service has been great. The contractor told me everything would be done to code and it would be done nice and clean, so I was happy with them.

    The guy that came out for the showerhead that broke was very professional. He was in and out in 30 minutes. We really liked him. He had everything with him. We were afraid he was gonna have to tear into the wall but he said, "Oh, no. This is easy." We were very happy. Our experience this last time was better than the experience with the washing machine guy. We had something happen with the washing machine several months ago. American Home Shield had sent someone out but he didn't think it could be fixed. He didn't take the washing machine apart which we thought was a little weird. We loved our washing machine. We didn't want to have to shop for a new one. But it all worked out in the end. We ended up getting a check from American Home Shield so that was good.

    Normally, when you call American Home Shield, we get to see someone within a week. Steven A Mills Plumbing came in with their mask. They did an awesome job and only took a few minutes. The hot water heater wasn't working. They repaired it, I thanked them, and that was it. Very respectable. However, I still have a knock in the heating area. And the water is not as hot as it was. I don't know if it needed to be turned up more or not, so we've got to check that out. Other than that, I will recommend AHS highly.

    I figured to get a home warranty ‘cause when somebody comes out, they're gonna charge you so much. The only thing I don't like was when the first snowstorm kinda knocked everybody out of heat and light, their people didn't look like they come quick enough. When a company came out for my furnace that went out, they just shut it off. I had to call AHS and they said that the wires had burnt up. Whoever was the last person that worked on my furnace took some kind of limit control off and that made me not be able to get the furnace fixed. The lady did go over the contract with me and it says it in the contract. I had to have a furnace so I had to buy one. The lady was nice but they didn't even suggest anything for me. I called the place that they had come out here but he gave me such a ridiculous price.

    I wanted to check the condition of our furnace because it was a little bit cool in some spots in our house. It was easy scheduling the service. I was alerted that I was paired up with a contractor almost immediately. It was really nice and easy to get in touch with the contractor. The guy from the furniture company was really nice. He was very professional. He arrived on time and wore a mask. He kind of explained that for our house, the furnace is kind of smaller, and that we don't have any problems right now. But he suggested that we save for a bigger furnace in the future. It's getting pretty cold and the problems we thought would happen kind of worsened. So we might need an upgrade this winter.

    We bought a condominium and the seller bought the warranty for us. American Home Shield was a good deal. They were okay and they were always quick to assign a contractor. The contractors were always good and they fixed everything we needed. One contractor was Piedmont Mechanical. They were fine but they got mud on our new carpet and the steps.

    The only thing I got against American Home Shield was it took forever to get ahold of them, which was terrible. I waited to talk to a live person and was on hold for an hour and a half. We had the home warranty for a year but we are not going to buy the home warranty again because we don't need it.

    Doing claims with American Home Shield was not difficult, but when you want to speak with a representative and they come to you with like 21 questions, I don't think that's necessary. It's not overwhelming, but you just want to get on the call, say what you gotta say, and get off of it. I just don't like, "What's the model? When was it installed?" I don't know any of that. The technician who came out was very professional though. He was able to fix the issue. There was no replacement that needed to be done. Only thing that needed to be replaced was the board. So, it's not like I had to go out and buy a whole new unit, thank God, for that.

    AHS has great customer service. The first time my furnace went out, they gave me to someone else and I never got a phone call. I was always the one that was reaching out. But when I called them, I was like, "Hey, cancel my order." I felt I was getting the runaround with them. I said, "Send me somebody else out here because I'm basically getting the runaround." It was like the minute I put the order in, the young lady was calling me and within 15 minutes, I was in a phone call. I felt like that's customer service. She was so professional. I felt like I develop a relationship with her. So, I was very pleased.

    A portion of my wiring quit. My computer and my lights in two rooms went down. My wife was using our sewing machine and that went down, as well. But there were still some lights that were on. When I went to check the breaker, it was not broken. I started getting my little AC checker and it wasn't showing okay. It was showing a weird power on ground indication and it was a little bit above my paygrade.

    I called AHS and had an electrician come out here. He was a real nice guy. He looked at a couple of the plugs and found one of the plugs was indeed bad and there was a little black mark on it. He said it didn't look dangerous but it was gonna be intermittent. So he replaced about three of the plugs and that took care of it. So far, it's been fine. The guy was real good. It was pretty easy to submit the claim. I just went online and submitted it. Then somebody called me and got some details. The guy called me and set up a time that he was going to be in the area. He was here exactly when he said he was going to be there. It only took about an hour or so and he was done.

    We had to have a ice machine fixed in our refrigerator and it was one of the appliance issues that was taken care of pretty quickly. There was a part in the refrigerator that was $350. But it only cost $75 for that amount to pay. So that pretty much paid for the warranty right there. AHS is like any insurance. It's not something that you want to use, but you're paying for it every month, and month, and month, and over the years. Then you kind of almost feel that you wish something would break here so you can get your money's worth. But when it does happen, it's there and it works for you. I’d definitely recommend it, if someone wanted it.

    We were unable to use the dishwasher. I put a claim in with American Home Shield and the process was easy. But I would have preferred if we could have set up the appointment times a little more conveniently. I figured, me being the person that's getting something fixed, the contractor would work around my schedule but I had to keep adjusting my day to work around the tech getting out to me. I was a little irritated by that because I'm finding myself having to do it yet again today.

    They had to cancel last week because of inclement weather again. For today, I told them morning is fine because I'm home but I have a doctor's appointment at 12:00. Or they could come after 4 o'clock because I have to pick my wife up from work at 3. But they called me today telling me that they're going to be here between 2:00 and 4:00. I feel like what I say is not being listened to. It's not about me being available for them. It's about them being available for me. I'm the customer. Other than that, AHS has been good overall. They fix stuff and they have contractors come out. They did a great job when it came to assessing the issue that I was having with the heating and air conditioning. They were timely.

    So far, so good. There was an issue and AHS got somebody out to fix the gas leak so they could turn my gas back on. I appreciate that. The plumber was outstanding. The total bill was $750 and all I did was pay my $100 deductible so that was good. However, I was advised that they were not going to take care of the other issues associated with that gas leak. I've been waiting to see it in writing and I'm still waiting. AHS was quick and very responsive with the one area that they agreed to take care of. But the one area that it appears that they don't want to take care of, they haven't followed up on communication.

    The house and the pool are covered in the home warranty. We had another party do the pool which was great. But this home also has very nice gas-fired backyard amenities such as a gas grill and gas lanterns. Next to the hot tub, there are a couple of gas-fired fire and ice pots. One of them was not working. I thought my warranty covered everything. They weren't inspected because it's one of those things that slipped through the cracks. The original home inspector just did the home and the sprinkler system. Nobody looked at all the gas amenities that are part of the landscape in the backyard. Now I have to fix all these amenities in the backyard that I wish would have been captured in the original inspections by somebody I paid.

    When the heating furnace came on, it had this burning plastic smell. So we shut the heat off and called it in. It took a while for someone to come out because J&A was extremely backed up. They scheduled an appointment that day but they didn't schedule it for like a week. When they came out, they were on time. They looked at it and repaired it. The tech had to leave and get a part. Then he came back and installed the new part. He made sure everything was working properly. We were very pleased.

    American Home Shield could improve on being able to talk to a live person instead of being automatically routed to the endless chasm of prompts that don't get you anywhere till you finally get to a person. When I call to ask some question, it's like, this doesn't apply and this doesn't apply, and I have to push a button, then it doesn't really apply, just to finally get to talk to somebody. But the coverage itself is excellent. The main thing is that everybody needs to read the fine print, so they know exactly what they're buying, what's covered and what's not covered under each of the different systems.

I'm very pleased with AHS and I’m gonna continue to use them as long as I have my home. I've never ran into any issues that's why I'm still with them.

    I've owned this house for about eight years and came to find out that there was a couple of things that I've had to do repair-wise that I could have had covered. I was told to try American Home Shield and it's been amazing so far. But they could have an upfront list of the people in the area that would be doing the work. It's not a big deal who would work on a claim but I was hoping it wouldn't be someone from out of town that was coming to my town to do the work, which it was in both times that I've used AHS. Other than that, this is my first home and I'm a young home buyer and it's things like this that have made it easy.

    I was having an issue with the furnace where it would have to try to kick on multiple times before it heated the house. I had to reset it manually and everything. Once I made the claim with AHS, I had Advanced Refrigeration get ahold of me and the tech was awesome. We had to wait for it to do what I was saying it was doing and he was willing to come back later in the evening way past when he was still in business to make sure he caught it, which he did. Once we figured out the problem, he had the part on his van and he fixed it right there. Then, we were all good to go.

    My dishwasher was leaking, and Sears immediately dispatched someone, and the problem was fixed. I did the claim online to American Home Shield. It's like a matter of four steps. It's very quick and simple. As far as someone coming out for an issue, it could be a week to two weeks. We had a plumbing issue the first time and then the dishwasher issue was the second issue. So, it just depends on the skilled tradesman that you need. Everything's been fine.

    Heroes Plumbing Service handled our claim really well. They found a leak in the bottom. It wasn't where I thought it was, it was in the shower drain, and that's not covered by American Home Shield. It turned out that I also had a leak into the bathtub because three years ago, I had these things replaced and the people installed it wrongly. They missed one of the leaks. But they diagnosed the other thing, and they were very professional and on time.

    Sometimes, it's hard to know what American Home Shield would cover and what they won't. For example, I have an old fridge and it was leaking, and the plumber couldn't find the part. They ordered the part. In the meantime, I'm waiting, and my fridge is still leaking for two weeks while the part comes in. I hope they make things happen faster.

I had to repeat what I wanted done five times, and then she still didn’t get it, so I just picked something and told her that was what it was.

    I've had multiple issues with my air conditioning over the last three years and I've had American Home Shield send out numerous companies. It's relatively easy to submit a claim. They will tell you which contractor has been assigned. They will give you a phone number for that contractor and will let you know that the contractor will be contacting you shortly. I had Southern Air Conditioning come out because the air conditioning wasn't blowing cold air. The techs have all been good from everything that I've experienced. The professionalism is good. But I've had a couple of issues with the quality of work from different contractors.

    Last year was a big ordeal because the agents at American Home Shield did not seem to know the contracts that were issued to the contractors. I was having an issue and they sent a company out. They thought they did the repair and within a month, I was calling them back because it had gone back to blowing warm air again. They sent a different company out and that company said it was the worst solder job they had ever seen from the previous contractor. That was why it was leaking again.

    When I tried to get somebody out to fix this, they kept scheduling companies, but the companies would say under the contract, the original contractor would have to come out and do the repair. So my air conditioning was literally out for two months. Living in South Carolina during the summer and two months to get an air conditioning problem fixed is unacceptable. So they should understand the contract and when there are issues, they should able to resolve them quickly.

    I was a little troubled when the tech first arrived because he wasn't even finished getting off the truck when he told me that I got two issues going on. He said he was going to have to get me to call AHS so that I could get another claim going because I was going to have to pay another $75. But I told him that when put the claim of the repair request, they didn't tell me anything about that and that both of the issues would be taken care of. He the said that I might want to call AHS. So, I called and told them to tell me this. Then, they had to call him and say that both works were under the same ticket. So, he needed to take care of them. So, he said he would.

    For the air conditioner part, he realized that a motor had gone out, so he started fixing that. When he went back to the furnace issues, I told him that the heater was not working. I had to turn it off, reset it, and turn it back on. It runs for about two or three hours, then I had to get up in the middle of the night, turn it up, and reset it again. Before he even looked at anything he said that it was a problem with my air filters. But I said that those air filters have been there for just a little bit over a month and they were still pretty clean. I said that not because I didn't want to change them, but because I didn't think it was time to change them at that moment. But he concluded that that was the problem.

    However, the heater was still not working right. In the middle of the day or in the night, when we had the heater on, it would be blowing cold air. So, I told him it also had to do with the thermostat because they came to look at the unit and they never changed the thermostat. At the time, I had to step away from him since I was on a lot of calls because I'm working from home. I asked my son if he could keep an eye on him and make sure he didn't need anything. The tech didn't spend 10 minutes there and came out with the conclusion that the issue was the air filters. But I knew that it wasn't. He then left without having a chance to talk to me. Now, we're still having some problems with the air heater where it just starts blowing cold air. So, I was really disappointed.

    I never had these problems with American Home Shield and my experience with them had been good. Not too long ago, they sent techs who came in to fix my garbage disposal. And today, some people came to fix my dishwasher, only to find out that when they came in to fix my dishwasher, there was about half an inch of tubing too short. So, it was leaking water underneath. The drain was clogged and they never even changed that. So, I’m getting disappointed with the overall service that I've been getting.

    Other than that, when I called in for the furnace and the air conditioner, AHS told me I didn't have service. But I told them that I've been paying every month without failure, because I have it all right with them. So, I told them that it needed to be taken care of. It took a while for them to say that I have service. They had to call me back and let me know that they misread my record.

    Our freezer wasn't making ice, and I had tinkered with it a bit. I put in a new filter for the water to see if that would help it. I had initially set up an account.

It was easy. I received the support I needed, and I was able to schedule and make sure that the account was good to go for our use, as well. I was given the information about the contractor. He got here within the timeframe, came in, knew exactly what was needed after looking at it for a few seconds, and had the exact part that he needed. He replaced it and it worked. He gave us all the necessary information, leave it going for about 24 hours, and then use it. It was very efficient and helpful. We have ice. I like American Home Shield.

    When it rains, the plumbing in my house would clog up. We had a snowstorm and I noticed the plumbing was backed up. A plumber from A-1 Affordable came out. The guy was someone who had been out here before and he unplugged the plumbing. I had another plumbing outfit come out and the tech went 75 feet out and unclogged it. This time, A-1 came again and the tech who seemed to know what he was doing said it was about 40 to 45 and that there was something wrong somewhere in the line. It took about half an hour to unclog the plumbing. It wasn't a stop short job.

    I've been in my house going on three years and from my understanding, the previous owner had problems with the sewage and the city said they couldn't get a camera in. If all this was on file and recorded before I purchased my home, the appraiser should have been informed because they go through procedures at city hall to get the sale together. I pay my warranty every month as well as the service fee. Somebody should give me a diagnosis on exactly what the problem is and repair it. When I call AHS, they're Johnny-on-the-spot. When my furnace went out and I had a plumbing issue, their guys both came out and took care of my issues the same day. I'm satisfied with how they respond when I call and with their service operation. But I can't say if their techs know how to handle my problem.

    We had to do three claims, one for the water heater, one for the furnace, and one for my oven. I don't like the new way that American Home Shield is doing claims where everything is online or automated. It's very difficult to get ahold of somebody right now. For our claims, the same people that came out for our other water heater came out for this recent one. They were great to work with. AHS gave us a really good contractor.

    The furnace guy was the same thing. He came out, it was really easy, and he was really great to work with. This claim was addressed wonderfully. What happened was our furnace is a very good one but it's very old that they can no longer get parts for. All of a sudden, it wasn't able to shut down properly. When the temperature would hit its appropriate temperature, the furnace would shut down then start up again then shut down. We were very worried because the last thing we wanted to have to do is replace our furnace right now. The furnace guy was able to diagnose the problem down to the actual thermostat within the furnace itself, which did not have to be replaced. It just needed to be adjusted. It got a little bit loose with age and he was able to make that adjustment. The furnace is running perfectly now.

    My oven being down has literally killed the way we can eat. I'm still waiting and it's been a while. I'm hoping to get my oven back quickly because after my procedure tomorrow, my diet will be very specific. It's Christmas time and I can't cook it without an oven. I tried to contact AHS twice now and I was on hold for over an hour. Online, it tells me that it's still in review. But when I went through the automated system, it told me that part was on order. I'm being told two different things so I'm not really sure which one's correct. That’s a little bit of an issue.

    That issue aside, AHS is a great company and I was very happy with them. I would definitely recommend them especially if you're unsure about the home you're buying and what's going on with it. We have a newer home in Wales and we have AHS on that as well. It's comforting to know that we have coverage if something were to happen.

    I have two American Home Shield policies and my tenant said he was very happy with the claim in Scottsdale. They went out to check on a water leak. They replaced a valve on it and it’s fine and dandy. However, American Home Shield is a little higher here in Texas and I don't understand the difference for that. It's just for a condo but the outlay is $100 as opposed to $75. Other than that, it seems to be working out well. They send out the same company depending on what it is.

    The recent claim I had was my pool. We had a little bit of a mess-up on that. I had paid for someone to come out and give me a diagnostic. He found three leaks by getting in the pool. American Home Shield sent out a pool company. He fixed the inside of the pool and said it wasn't covered by the warranty, and that was $300. But he didn't fix the part that was covered. So, I had to get on the phone, spend my time, call the pool company and tell them they were supposed to come out. American Home Shield wanted me to pay another $75. I said, "What did I get for the first $75? I paid $300 to have it fixed.” They rescinded and sent the guy back out so I wouldn't have to pay another $75. The pool people are professional. They get there on time and let me know they're coming. The guy's name is Chris. He fixed it and told me what needed to be done in the pool.

    When you have something that's gonna be outside the warranty, American Home Shield needs to be a little clearer. The leak was inside the skimmers. They said it was not covered but I was paying for extra to have the pool covered. But they did come out this year and had to replace the big filter thing. They took care of it right away. Their guy said it was broken and they repaired it. It was about a $1,000 piece so it was well worth it to have the warranty.

    I’d recommend American Home Shield. I've got a lot of properties and I've got a lot of clients that have properties. They've had some run-ins with their warranty companies not wanting to pay. If something needs to be replaced, that's where the big problem is because they lead you to believe that they will replace anything. But I didn't study that part. When I say something's broken and I have a warranty, I expect it to be fixed. If they can’t repair it and it finally goes out, I expect it to be replaced. None of this, “Well, I’ll give you $50,” or “I'm only going to give you $100,” or “I'll give you $100 towards your technician,” whatever game they're playing. That's not the way it works and that's what my clients are finding out.

    The submission process is easy. I had my dishwasher replaced. I've had service for my dryer several times and I've had the icemaker repaired on my refrigerator too. The ones for my dryer and refrigerator went smoothly. Recently, I had my dryer serviced again and the company handled stuff very quickly. My experience was very good. On the other hand, the one on my pool heater has not gone smoothly and I've been dealing with it since May of this year. I turned a ticket in and had a company that claimed it wasn't normal wear and tear, which is crazy ‘cause the thing is 2005. That's how old it is.

    I had a second opinion, dealt with that guy for a while, and then he got sick. He stopped returning calls and he was supposed to be ordering a part. I had to deal with American Home Shield ‘cause they were denying it the entire time. They wouldn't return my calls, and when I asked to speak with somebody like a manager, they said they would be calling me back and they never did. They also didn't have documentation that I called. That one is tainting it because I've had a lot to deal with. Finally, I asked for another appeal and I got a third person out.

    They were able to convince American Home Shield that it's normal wear and tear and it needs to be replaced because it's old. I called them and last I heard, they said that a new pool heater was being ordered now, but I don't know that I trust that ‘cause sometimes they tell me stuff that's not actual. I haven't been able to use my hot tub since May ‘cause there's no heater on it. The spa is connected with the pool which heats up all the same. I also started looking at other warranty companies over the pool issue ‘cause that's been stressful. It has been a nightmare and it turned me off, but everything else has been good.

So the tech fixed it and I haven’t had that issue since he left. He was great. I also had a plumber come out. The electrical outlet for my Jacuzzi tub was lying on the ground, and my inspector wanted that mounted. The gentleman who did the work inadvertently removed the air cord that allows the Jacuzzi to start. So it wasn't working and I had the plumber hook it up. Once he realized what was going on with it, he showed me where to hook it up in case it came out again. It was a good service too.

    The heat wasn’t working and the technician was a good guy. I didn't get any feedback from them of what they fixed but it’s still working fine. The service has been great although I had one contractor that they had to get rid of because it wasn’t satisfactory with their work. But submitting a claim to American Home Shield is good. All I do is go online and I put it in. Then, someone calls me and schedules the service.

    One of our air conditioners started being difficult and when that happened, I decided to sign up with American Home Shield because I have a feeling these difficulties might continue. A garbage disposal was cracked because water was literally running out to the bottom of it. It decided to leak on Thanksgiving Day and the contractor came on Monday after that, which was fine.

    Jacob's Plumbing came out and fixed an issue. Then we had an additional issue just a few days later that I didn't realize could have put it on the same invoice. So I ended up paying an additional $100. When I did that, Jacob's Plumbing never responded. It had been three days and I still hadn't heard back from them. So, American Home Shield contacted Safe Cali and they ended up coming out a few days later.

    Safe Cali looked at the issue and stated that they needed to get approval from American Home Shield and that they would get back to me. But I still haven't heard from them. I've been contacting them and leaving them messages almost maybe six times now. I've also contacted American Home Shield to tell them that they have never called back and my toilet is still not working properly, and I'm still waiting.

    I'm in a holding process for this and I'm really dissatisfied with American Home Shield for not being able to help me after I've already paid my deductible. I've paid in the last two or three weeks $300 and the services are not complete. What's even more frustrating is the people that I speak to there at American Home Shield has been really difficult to get through to help them understand the process and what I need. They're constantly repeating everything. That's why I haven't called today. I've been thinking about it all day, but I don't have 25 minutes to be on the phone with American Home Shield just to still not get my issue resolved

    I'm very dissatisfied and I'm trying to find out if there is another home warranty company that I can go with. Thank goodness that I have two other bathrooms but it's very inconvenient, especially when I've thought that this is going to be resolved. But here it is, almost Christmas, and I'm afraid that I'm not going to have this resolved before then.

    I had someone from Home Shield come out to fix my disposal thing in the kitchen sink. He was fantastic. He came out, fixed the problem right away and he was gone in five minutes. A couple of days later, my sink kept filling up with water whenever I'd run the water. So, whatever was clogging up the disposal got into the drain line. I called Home Shield about four weeks later to order the second plumber to come out to unclog the drain. It was just the main drain that goes from both sinks to the ground or to the water system. It was clogged up. He just put in that long snake thing, and snaked it out, and that helped fix the problem. He was perfectly professional, and he was dog friendly. It was nice to not have to lock up my dog since he didn’t bark the whole time he was here. I will never have a house without a home warranty, and I highly recommend American Home Shield because everything is easy with them. I do everything online.

    When I filed a claim for a leaky faucet and a leaky pipe on the bathroom sink, I was notified that I would be contacted by someone within 24 hours. The one issue I had, and I could be partly to blame for this, is that if indeed Fazio contacted me, they didn't leave a message. I don't know where the disconnect was, if the email was generated properly or if there was a gap in communication with Fazio’s or my phone. This concerned me a little and then when we were able to finally connect, it added to the time to get me scheduled. That was a little frustrating, but not to the point of disgust or that I would never recommend this service.

    The service was excellent and I appreciate it. I'm not an expert, but I thought the faucet that was leaking could have potentially been repaired, and I thought that would be the direction that they would go. I'm happy with the results though. They ended up replacing the pipe that was leaking and the faucet with a new comparable faucet (maybe even better) and did a good job, so I was grateful.

He was here Monday and it was about four days later when he got a furnace. He had to have it okayed through American Home Shield, which was what took the longest. Still, all in all, AHS has been good. I’ve had three things fixed in a year and a half that I've had it, so it's never been a problem. They’ve always taken care of it in a reasonable amount of time.

    I've used American Home Shield about four times now. The experience has been excellent and I've only had one problem with them. The person on the dryer claimed that they were gonna come out on Monday at a certain time, and that was fine. But right close to that certain time, they called me and said that they wouldn't be out that day. I asked if they were gonna come by the next day and they said they would be out in another four days. I asked why I wasn’t at the top of the list for the next day and they said that they got other people to take care of. I told them that I should be number one on the list for the next day. They said they couldn’t do it. I talked to a supervisor and he too said they couldn’t do it. I told them not to bother coming out.

    I called American Home Shield and they got me another company, and they were perfect. They did everything they said they were going to do. The contractor came and the dryer works fine. I also had a washing machine replaced, a refrigerator repaired, an air conditioner had a part or two that needed to be replaced, and there might have been a couple of other ones in between there. I've had AHS for close to 10 years. I pay a good amount for it but I like that peace of mind. I rent a room in this house and my rent is so low. I told my landlord to let me buy a home warranty. He likes to travel a lot and if he’s out of town and something breaks down, I can take care of it just paying a deductible. I've done that twice for him now. The dryer and the air conditioner were parts of it.

    I went to American Home Shield's website and filed a claim. That was very easy. I had claims for two different appliances. One was my oven and the second one was a clothes dryer. There are two sets for the oven. There's the top oven and the lower oven. The top oven wasn't heating up. As for the dryer, it wasn't warming up as well. I was provided a notification that Watkins Repair was assigned to my claims and I should receive a contact from them shortly. The technician who came was was polite and courteous. He explained the process as well as the estimated wait times for receiving the parts. I had a good experience overall. Everything has been functioning well now.

    The repair has been essential to our day-to-day functions within the home because I have a family of four and we wear lots of clothes. I do the laundry in the home. Without the dryer, we would have had to go to a laundromat. I was lucky enough to have a second dryer that I installed during that time while I was waiting for the other one to be fixed. It's the same thing with the oven. We cook lots of foods in the oven. It's a hindrance, especially during the holidays like we're in now, when we don't have that oven available.

    It's been mostly good with AHS. I've had three repairs and two of them are complete. However, they're hard to get ahold of. You stay on hold for a long time. Also, some of the vendors that I’ve used are a little flaky. I had an appointment for someone to come out for my dishwasher. It was scheduled from 1:00 to 5:00. I called that morning to confirm that they were going to be out between 1:00 and 5:00 and they said yes. I got a text message at 3:45 saying the tech was on his way. At 5:45, he still wasn't there. I called the number and said that was incredibly rude and inconsiderate. No one had called to tell me the tech was not coming. I didn't get a call back until 6:50, saying, “I'm sorry, I got delayed. We're gonna have to reschedule.” I was like, “No, thanks. I'm not going to reschedule with you.”

    I had to call American Home Shield three times to get set up with a different vendor. They sent someone who clearly had never repaired a dishwasher. The claim was denied because they were saying there was a foreign particle. I said, “Yeah, That's why the dishwasher is broke. The bearings from the drawer that you push in and out to load the dishwasher broke. They are the ball bearings. It's on Maytag’s website.” I had to call American Home Shield and dispute it. They said they could send out another repair person but if it turned out that it was a foreign object, then I was gonna have to pay another $125 service fee. The person came out a couple days before Thanksgiving and said he'd be out the next week but I didn't hear from him. I reached out to him this week and he said the parts are still on backorder. It would have been nice to have been contacted to say, “I'm sorry. We're not coming. The parts haven't arrived.”

    My biggest problem with American Home Shield is that some of the service contractors they've sent out seem to be lacking integrity at times. They’re not as meticulous as most people. It’s almost like a trend with most of them. They come out and before they even assess the problem, they start telling me how much it would cost to repair it. It seems like the whole goal is to exceed whatever the minimum that AHS pays them and try to get as much as possible from the homeowners. I’ve had that happen on numerous occasions and I have complained about it on several occasions also.

    AHS needs to do a better job of screening their contractors and make sure that the contractors know that AHS customers are not cash cows for them to try to manipulate. Fortunately for me, I've been around for a while and I know about homeownership. When they come out to tell me things, I tend to question them and they seem to get a little agitated when I start asking them questions.

    We had a company come out here initially and told me that my out-of-pocket is going to be $700. When the guy came out, he told me the reason it’s freezing up outside is that I don’t have enough Freon. He told me all that after being here for about 10 minutes. It was kind of strange because I just had the compressor changed in July and they filled it up. He said I might have a leak and I said if it does, then that should be covered because they should put a new compressor on. Then he said that maybe it’s not the compressor. He came in and looked at the air handle on the inside. He took the cover off and looked at the evap cord, which seems to have just a little wear and tear on it. He said my cord is leaking and I told him that that cord was changed about three years ago. He said he was gonna take all that information back and then they would call it in.

    American Home Shield sent me an email and then I went online. I called American Home Shield and they won’t tell me this was a $750 out-of-pocket expense to give me a breakdown. I called the company up and said I wanted an itemized breakdown. A rep came back and said it's $150 for a plumb line to clean a drain line and the Freon is $500. I called the billing inspector's office and I and I told a rep what was going on. I asked him to give me the high-end of what it’s gonna cost if they change out the whole unit and he told me it's gonna be $60.

    I asked for a second opinion and A & A came out. Their guy diagnosed what was going on and he told me it was the evap cooler. He told me exactly what it was. He said there was a short in the wire with the defrost regulator outside. I got extra wires for this whole system. And he explained it to me as he was doing it. He came back in about 10 minutes and said he has fixed the problem. Other than the level of competency of some of the contractors that they send out, I recommend AHS.

    I would give this company zero stars if I could and I honestly suspect the other reviews are paid for because I could not imagine worse service. We pay roughly $80 a month which as you can imagine adds up very quickly. When our dishwasher broke, it took their subcontractor weeks to come out, weeks to diagnose the problem (only when I called to follow up), and weeks to forget to send me an email that our dishwasher (a fairly new stainless steel Kitchenaid) was "uneconomical to repair". When I called AHS to inquire about this, I got rerouted to their appliance department and was put on hold for 2.5 hours (I'm not kidding) waiting for someone to talk to me.

    Through brute perseverance and calling incessantly day after day, I finally got through to someone at AHS who looked into the dishwasher value, giving us significantly under market value for what it was worth. To salt our wounds, they said they didn't have any replacements dishwashers available "for at least 3 months" so they agreed to write us a check instead (again, for a value that you couldn't buy a new dishwasher for). While the check was said to be coming in the mail, we bit the bullet and bought a new dishwasher out of pocket (it had been months by then since we had a functional one). To summarize, we made our first service request in September, and it's now December and we STILL haven't received this elusive check. I'm currently on hold with AHS writing this review. And yes, we're still paying $80 a month for their "service".

    I've utilized American Home Shield quite a bit. It's a great asset. The house is getting older, and then I just lost my husband, it’s like, “Oh my goodness, I don't know what to do, where to call, how to call. Oh my God, is it covered?” The first thing that happens is calling and seeing if it’s covered. Overall, my experience has been great. The last company that came out was Geo Plumbing. There was a leak in the upper bathroom shower, and it caused secondary damage on the ceiling in the kitchen. When the plumber came out, he determined that it wasn't a leak, but a drip. He fixed the faucet.

    The room has been empty for two months, but when we went into the bathroom, the faucet somehow was turned the opposite way. I don't know how, except the kids are back and forth in that room. I still had a drip. The secondary damage that was caused, that was completed. The plumber didn't have to do anything with that because we figured out where it was coming from. Where you have the hot and cold water, I just have one round circle that you turn to get to the hot and cold. That’s where the drip is. He said he was gonna come back and change it, but he never did.

    I called the plumber before I called American Home Shield and he said that it was an add-on. It wasn’t a non-repair. The bottom line is I paid $75, and I still have a drip. Whether they do it as an add-on or come back out, I'm not paying another $75. Geo Plumbing called me earlier this afternoon, and I told them I will call them back within an hour, but time got away. I plan to call them this evening. Even if he can't come until Monday, that's fine too.

    I have been protected with American Home Shield for quite some time. It was my first house and I've been in this house for 10 years. There were some things that weren’t covered and some things that were. I'm okay with that. I’ve had a washing machine as well as a microwave replaced before. The thing with the microwave was a double whammy. They had to replace the microwave and the oven. It wasn’t what I’m was expecting, but I appreciated it because it was an all-in-one. However, I don't know if they changed management or if it's a new company, but it seems a little different. When I had a refrigerator issue, Home Shield came out and fixed the motherboard, but that wasn't the problem. I had a leak inside of the refrigerator.

    American Home Shield had sent me an email and said that they couldn’t repair it, so they were gonna replace it, which I thought, “Awesome.” GE Appliances is where they get it from. Now, this has been since July, so I’ve been calling back and forth. They didn’t have the sterling silver in stock. I even settled for the black because the top of my microwave is black. I wasn’t gonna go crazy over a refrigerator. I wanted a white one, but I would have accepted the black one and then all of a sudden, “Black one’s not available.” “Okay. I’ll wait.” I’ve been waiting and waiting. I was gonna write a letter to the company, but I couldn't get a home address. I ended up contacting the Better Business Bureau.

    COVID messed up life for everybody. I understand COVID and I don't have a problem with that, but since July? That’s a long time. Now they're telling me they want to offer me an e-card. The e-card is from Lowe's and they're only offering $998 on it. The refrigerator was here when I got here and the type that I have is 1,428. I asked them, “So, is GE Profile the only place you can get it from?” If they're gonna give me a Lowe’s e-card, the refrigerator is at Lowe’s. I’ve seen it. I even tried to check it out on Black Friday and see if maybe it went down some. It didn’t. If I accept the e-card and go to Lowe’s, my issue is I have to put up an additional $600 and then I have to have them deliver it and hook it up.

    Also, if they’re gonna give me a Lowe’s e-card, why not just make the e-card for the amount of the refrigerator? Now, if they said at the beginning, “Well, we're not gonna replace it. We're only gonna give you 900,” then I would have had to deal with that, but they said, “We're going to replace it.” It has to be replaced. I was definitely satisfied with American Home Shield before the refrigerator issue and I have recommended it, but they should get me my refrigerator.

    I had a big issue with my refrigerator and so many people came to my house to say that it wasn't working. It took forever. AHS finally did the right thing, but I was without a refrigerator during COVID and it wasn't working for about a month. It was so unnecessary before they declared what they were gonna do. I was calling them all the time but they were not reaching out to me to tell me what was gonna happen. So I was really disappointed in their service and the way they tackled this whole thing with my refrigerator. In the past, they've always been quite efficient and good. But this time, it was terrible not having a fridge with everybody in the house. So I'm not happy with that. Appliance Tech was the third company that came out and they were great. They did whatever they had to do and then AHS finally took care of it. But I still like AHS. I would still tell my friends it's great if you're not fix-it type of people.

They came, they fixed it and left. This process was very easy. In all fairness, NWA has been doing business under other names, supporting other contractors for AHS. This guy's been to my house three times over the past several years. I knew the guy personally. I open the door and it’s like, “Oh it’s you.

    American Home Shield's rep was very polite and professional. She took down my information and told me who the service was going to be through. She then told me to expect a call. The claim went very smoothly. TAZ had to replace the wax seal on our commode that was leaking. The tech knew what he was doing. He wore masks and gloves which I requested and he was in and out. He had to go to the store to get another inner ring because we have an older style house but he was great. He did his job and left. Things have been working perfectly since then. AHS is worth it. We're not thrilled that the amount we have to pay, the deductible has gone up over the years. Other than that, we've had good success with them.

But when I asked the original appliance person if that was it, it was done. He was ready to leave because he did his job, without an explanation.

Generally, my claims have turned out quite right for 75 bucks. But there have been too many of them lately probably because our house is getting older.

    Our refrigerator wouldn't close for some reason and we thought it was going bad because it wouldn't cool. When a tech came out, we found out that a hinge was broken and the refrigerator wouldn't seal properly. That was why the refrigerator wasn't cooling. There was a little tiny plastic part that was broken off. The tech figured that problem out really quickly and got it taken care of. He had to order a little hinge for the seal. Our refrigerator is working great now. From the time we submitted the claim until the refrigerator was repaired, that took three days which was pretty quick. That issue was handled great.

    We also had a plumbing experience with AHS and I was a little disappointed in that one. Right after we moved in, we had a drain pipe that was leaking upstairs. AHS wouldn’t take care of the plumbing pipe. It was 150 bucks that had to come out of my pocket. AHS should be more specific on what they cover and what they don't cover. On their sheet, it says that if there's any broken plumbing, they will replace it. In my case, it was a pipe that was broken and they wouldn't pay for that pipe to be replaced. I was kind of dumbfounded by that one. My other insurance took care of all the abatement and everything so it came out okay.

    Anybody buying a new or older house should make sure they get something for the home. If you walk into a home that you bought with appliances that are a little bit older, you would definitely want to have something to fall back on. We moved in and we had the refrigerator problem and the little plumbing problem. Now I'm going to be getting a hold of AHS again because I want them to do a check on the dishwasher because I'm having some issues with that. The appliances are older.

When the repair guy came, the service was timely and he took care of the problem.

That helped a lot. My microwave burned out too.

I went out the door to check on him because I thought he got sick as he wasn’t coming back in. I don't like for people not to do things properly.

    There were three appliances that we needed help with. That was the refrigerator, the stove and the dishwasher. For the stove, the guy said it was just a bad bulb. I had an extra bulb so we changed it and the bulb has been working. The refrigerator has a bottom drawer for the freezer. The seal on the bottom drawer was faulty and the air and moisture were getting into the freezer. It was getting encrusted with ice. He came back and replaced the seal on just the freezer drawer. The dishwasher was the one that was a bit tricky. There were two problems with it. There are two washer arms and he replaced the lower one. He didn't say what was wrong. We had to wait for the part between the first and second visit.

    It turned out that there was a problem outside the dishwasher that was affecting it. He said that some of the problems inside the dishwasher had to do with excess calcium in the water supply so he instructed me on what product to buy to try to clear up the minerals. I did that once and it did help. He seemed to know what all the problems were immediately and addressed all of them. He was pleasant, professional, very knowledgeable and very skillful. We went through everything and he listened to everything. We had to change both appointments a few times and the company was responsive in changing the appointments for me. He still showed up on the right day and time even though I had to change it. They gave me notice right before he showed up too to let me know that he was coming soon.

    AHS is a good service. I'm glad that I have it because if I didn't, I probably would have just bought a new dishwasher without fixing it. In this case, that would have been kind of a waste. There was a problem inside but that did not require replacing the machine. For the water problem, I would not have revealed that without the technician coming. I was a little bit surprised that I had a co-pay but that was because I didn't look at the details of the warranty when I got it a year ago. I didn't know until I made the appointment that I was gonna have to spend more money. But it was still less than what I would have spent if I didn't have the warranty. I would have spent at least 600 bucks but I spent 75 bucks instead plus the cleaning solution which I needed anyway. Overall, the 75 bucks was worth it. As far as the future goes, I'm not inclined to renew because I feel like if I pay 500, 500, 500, I'd rather put the money towards replacing the appliance than paying for warranties.

    The dishwasher was kind of turning on and off whenever it felt like it, and the keypad wasn't working. Axis came out and took a look at it. Surprisingly, they took some time to assess the issue. I thought it was going to be a quick visit. They told me it looked like the panel needed to be replaced. We got it ordered in and it took about a week and a half for them to get the new part. Then they scheduled an appointment the following week because it was Thanksgiving week when it came in. They came in the following week and they were pretty quick in getting it replaced and everything working right. So overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the whole process.

    I also submitted a claim when there was a leak in the refrigerator. They came out and took care of it. The claims process has been pretty good. When I submitted my claim over the phone, it took a little bit longer. But then I was able to get access to my online account and submit a request via online, and it was pretty smooth after that. The process was pretty simple. Everything's been good.

    My AC here has been giving me lots of problems. When it got hot, I need to have someone come up here and fix something in the AC. When it got cold, did the same thing to the heater. Apparently, Valley Air found an issue. The tech explained it very well. He was actually very informative. He always answered the phone when we needed him to. He was very professional. I'm very pleased with the service he provided.

    As far as submitting claims, I was surprised and at the same time pleased that it was very simple and straightforward. The tech said there was kind of an issue, and he was gonna speak to Home Shield. The next thing I know, I got a call from Home Shield telling me they were gonna replace my AC. Within a few weeks, it was done. It was very quick. It was a very good service. I'm very pleased with Home Shield and with Valley Air.

    The Sears tech earnestly tried to fix the dishwasher, which was in great shape except for it would turn on and no water would come in. We had that problem once a long time back and somebody else fixed it. This time, he replaced about three things on it and it should have worked, but it didn't. The issue turned out to be a panel and it had to be replaced but there was no replacement for my model dishwasher so they had to replace the dishwasher. But the replacement is not anything close to our Maytag dishwasher. We had a Maytag with all digital stuff and touch and the replacement has a lever and a knob. And the quality is pretty low. We could have gone up and paid money but if we did that, then AHS wouldn't pay for the installation and all that kind of stuff so we took the replacement.

    I was on hold for over an hour and a half and got hung up on three times trying to get hold of the person that does the buying but once we determined that we had to replace it, everybody that I talked to is fine about that. Also, nobody notified us the techs were coming. We didn't get any more emails and then, 15 minutes before they came, they called us and said they were coming to bring the replacement and install it. But they were very polite and they had on masks and gloves - except for one who didn't have gloves and who took his mask down a few times. The rest of them did a really great job. They were very fast and organized.

    But we've had no furnace or air conditioner for four months now. We have inspections done every year and when somebody came to inspect, he said we need a new furnace and air conditioner. We called AHS and they sent somebody out. He flipped the switch on the furnace and he said it started up, therefore we don't need anything. Also, we decided we had to do the duct because there was some kind of growth in there that was making me sick with allergy. The techs could not guarantee that just cleaning it would get rid of all of the growth so we decided on new ductwork. But AHS wouldn't cover the ductwork.

    Another guy was sent out who told me the air conditioner has to be replaced and the furnace has a part in it which has to be replaced with a part that will match the air condition they plan on putting in. We were gonna just do the furnace and wait on the air conditioner till we need it but the furnace part has to be the right one so the tech said we can't. He told us he was going to give the report to AHS that we need a new furnace, etc, but we haven't heard one word back from AHS. We've decided to just hang in there until the virus gets better enough where we're not afraid to have somebody come in and do all this stuff. The service people that AHS uses are great and the people within the company I've dealt with are very good. But it has not been a good experience with AHS and they're also extremely expensive.

    We have many accounts with American Home Shield. I called two weeks ago and asked for servicing on three appliances in my home. The freezers in my fridge are not working. The dishwasher, for some reason, wasn't working. That one was easy to solve. So, that was a no-brainer. I guess somebody turned the water off under my sink for the dishwasher. That was all done. But then, the headache was I called and the gal that was the agent I was speaking with did not understand that my hood was different than my cooktop. So, she put the order in that my cooktop was not working. I never did say cooktop. I was trying to help her understand. A cooktop is something that sits on top of the counter, and not a range with the exhaust fan attached to the stove.

    As soon as I figured out when I called the appliance company, and that was supposed to be, originally, with West Coast Appliance, I said, “I'm trying to schedule this appointment this week with you guys. You should have all the claim information right there.” The rep said, “Okay, that's fine. But the hood can't be with us because that's electrical, and we only do appliances.” So, I called AHS again and I said, “We need to fix this. I need the cooktop.” I argued with this young lady. I was on the phone for an hour, but she did not still understand the difference from the cooktop and a range with the hood separate. She said, “Oh, no, I have to cancel the whole claim and start over.” So, she went ahead and scheduled only for the cooktop, and she canceled everything else. I sat waiting for three hours with no one showing up because she canceled the whole thing without calling me and helping me understand.

    I explained it very clearly. A range is a slide-in unit that has the oven and cooktop together. Sometimes, the exhaust fan’s built-in there. The cooktop is on the counter. Supposedly, the lady finally put in the hood. So, when I called, they changed the appliance company to AT Appliance because they had somebody that could do the hood. They scheduled that. But then, they didn't have the rest of my repair with the freezer and the dishwasher. She screwed that up. So, now, West Coast is scheduled for my hood. As far as AT Appliance, I had to call back and reschedule the whole thing all over again.

    Finally, they came out and took care of the freezer, the dishwasher, and the hood. West Coast is at my house right now trying to fix my hood. In the last couple of years, I have had the worst customer service with AHS. We lived in another home, and AHS was fine. The customer service was handled very nicely. They knew what they were saying and what they were talking about, and understood what the service call should be about. But since then, the last couple of years have been terrible. With the customer service person that I had on the phone, she would make me not want to talk about AHS ever to my friends. That was that terrible. I'm really ticked off because she got the whole thing screwed up and did not say, “Okay, so let's reschedule everything else.” She neglected that on her part.

    On the other service calls, my husband’s the one that’s been working on that situation. With the other two policies we have for the other homes that we own, I don't think there's been any issue at all. I'm really ticked off about this experience, though. On top of that, I asked for a supervisor. There was no supervisor to speak to to try and help the agent who is misinformed or doesn't have knowledge about that type of appliance, or about what AHS is offering for service calls. She did not listen to the customer. If she's an agent that represents the company, she should have knowledge of different types of equipment and appliance pieces. She should be able to know, “Okay, I have a commercial oven. And if I give her the model, she should be able to pick that right up and figure that out.” She’s not resourceful with her stuff that she has in her office when she's on the phone with a client.

    The rep from Neighborhood Appliance was great. The only thing is my washing machine is quite old, so he had a heck of a time trying to find replacement parts. But he found everything he needed and it went well. It's working great.

    The garbage disposal in my house was making ridiculous sounds. While I was looking into it, I also noticed that there was some water coming out from one of the pipes underneath, going into the sewer line. I went to American Home Shield's website and it was a hassle-free experience. On my own, I was able to create a ticket online. They confirmed it through emails and text messages. They scheduled this company, BWS Heating and Air Conditioning, very easily. The company called me the next day. They had the name of the guy and a picture and then they emailed me.

    Around Thanksgiving, they told me that it's going to be delayed. They offered me a better date that suited my schedule and the guy was here first thing on a Friday morning after Thanksgiving. He looked at the garbage disposal, talked to me, and then he said he would take care of it. He went in for an authorization. He also took all the right precautions related to COVID. He was masked and covered all his shoes. He took care of stuff, educated me what needs to take place, and got the work done in two hours. It was a very good experience. I was very pleased and happy. I have tried a few home warranty companies before and by far, American Home Shield is the best. I'm really impressed.

    Our garbage disposal wasn't working. We submitted a claim with AHS and everything went well. They gave me the phone number and the tech called the next day. He was here in 10 minutes and he was on time. He also did a good job. He wasn't the cleanest and didn't have the newest of tools, but he did his job. Other than that, American Home Shield's premium is kind of high, especially for the $75. And so many things are not on the warranty. But if you can afford it, it's nice to have.
