    I am very happy with AHS. They're good. The people that I talk to on the phone are very polite and efficient. The most recent claim was a pump that was to pump water from my basement out from the washing machine. The plumber who came said that isn't covered by the warranty but he fixed it for me. It was just a clog. He was great. He was a nice young man and he seemed very knowledgeable. We may hire them to do other work for us. The other claim was for our washer and dryer. It was covered by the warranty. That guy was great too. He came out and fixed everything.

    There were some things since we moved into this new house. I went to the site, and I was surprised to see that they offered rekeying, so I signed up for that. And rekeying came out, and that was awesome. So, I tried my luck again. I had all this stuff on my side, the knobs that needed help. The gentleman showed up, knocked it out. He was gone in 30 minutes. It was a good process. Some of the things that I needed some help with just were not a part of American Home Shield based on coverage. For example, we have a mini split AC and that's just not covered. But other than that, the stuff that was covered, so far, just the rekey, went just fine.

    Hardy Plumbing did a good job with the water heater replacement. They were very courteous, on time and did quality work. I would recommend them. I called in the claim to American Home Shield and it took a minute to get to a representative. But once I got a rep, everything went smoothly. I had another experience with AHS about three years ago and it was equally good. I had an outstanding experience and I'd recommend AHS. It's a worthwhile investment.

    The heating unit outside started making a lot of noise. Initially, I called a company because I didn't know the protocol for the insurance. They came out, charged me $125, and said the unit needed to be replaced. There was coolant all over and they had shut it off. I called American Home Shield and the rep said they had to look at the unit through their agent so that was another $100. Two young men came out from Jeff City. They said there was nothing wrong with my unit. It was making noise but it was okay. I was very pleased because I felt that they had a lot to lose. They could have come in and said everything needed to be replaced as the other company did. Also, the young man said that I had not lost any of the coolant although it was down a little bit.

    Everything is running okay now. The heating unit outside doesn't seem to make the clanging noise as before. I was very pleased with the company. I would recommend American Home Shield solely because it was my understanding that had my furnace needed to be replaced, it would have been replaced completely. A lot of the places would cover $500. But I was told American Home Shield would replace it entirely and that is worth the premium to me.

    In terms of getting a technician out and the technician coming to your home, this is the second claim I've had with American Home Shield since we bought our home in October. Both times, I was contacted within a few hours at most of filing the claim. The technicians were out that day or the next day and they were wonderful. My problem was if there is now something further that American Home Shield needs to take care of, I haven't been able to get the right people on the phone. I'm not getting the information I need from them about the status of the appliance that is being replaced.

    We were having problems with our washing machine and with our dishwasher so we filed the claim, and I heard from Apple Appliances within two hours. They gave me a phone call, said they would be in my area the next day, gave me the time range, and wanted to see if we were going to be home, which we were. They came at the promised time.

    They looked at everything. They were very thorough with their investigation. The dishwasher was fine. There was a way that we were loading it that caused the problem but he checked everything and made sure everything was fine even once he identified that issue. And then there was a problem with the washing machine. The motor died. He told us he checked everything out. He tried re-leveling it. He tried a few different tests, but it was ultimately that it was no longer working and then he told us that he would submit the claim for us to receive a new washing machine. He did a very good job. There wasn't a speck of dust left behind. At one point, he laid out some tools if he needed to check on things. Everything was cleaned up. You wouldn't have known that he was there. Very professional, polite, prompt and efficient. Those were things that were important to us. He was in and out but still very thorough.

    We called for some leakage at a couple of our pumps and AHS assigned the claim to Expert Pools. They came over here the next day, diagnosed the issues and identified where the leaks were. The guy resolved the issue and answered all of the questions I had regarding the piping and the gaskets that were used. He was very knowledgeable. He definitely educated me on some parts of the pump that I had no idea about. There was a question I had regarding the DE or DF pump which is the main pump on our pool. He kind of tested that as well and made sure everything was functioning even though he wasn’t required to for the claim. He went above and beyond what we asked for. This was the first claim and it was quick. He was in and out within half an hour. The other was the plumbing which is still pending. Someone came out here at the same time and gave us an estimate, and we're gonna go ahead and do the work.

    We had an issue with the dishwasher. A plastic-handled utensil fell out of the basket and melted on the heating element. The dishwasher was still working fine but we didn't dare run it. We thought that that element had to be replaced. A guy from Superior Appliance Repairs handled it and he was nice. He was able to very carefully chip the thing away. He sat there and picked it up piece-by-piece. Then, he tested everything. We've been using the dishwasher heavily ever since and it's fine.

    But I'm having a huge problem with a current claim with AHS. I called a week ago today for a service call for a toilet that is not flushing. I got my contractor's name, number, and confirmation. I was supposed to hear within two business days but I didn't. I waited for three days. Then, I called back AHS and their rep tried to contact the contractor but was not able to. She said to call her back later, to which I said, "No." I was not going to call her back later, go through the phone tree, and get a new agent. I said she needs to call me back when they've got it straightened out. She tried. And we tried to stay off the phone all day, but she must have hit it when I had an incoming call. She left a message.

    Then, I started all over again with another agent whose name was Gerald. He said that he called a number of contractors and wasn't able to get anyone to come out this week. He's still trying. I also asked him to let me talk to a supervisor, which he said he couldn't do. He was working from home. I've got to call in to get the supervisor. Also, it was quite difficult talking to the representatives whose first language is not English. It was very difficult to get them to listen to what I was saying, to understand it, and to understand how to deal with it. They give their little spiel of whatever they're supposed to say and I just end up shouting at them to listen to what I'm saying. That happened with both of the reps I talked to.

    At this point, I'm really unhappy with AHS. I'm considering whether I need to start looking for a different warranty because I'm really not satisfied. The minute I call for service, they take my credit card and get my money and I pay my monthly fee. I'm holding up my end. But I have gotten no satisfaction, whatsoever, and nothing is timely with this current claim.

    When the people that came out couldn't fix the issue, AHS referred me to somebody else. But one day, I waited 50 minutes then I turned around and I had to call and wait again. I waited 30 minutes and I finally got on the phone with this lady. It took me two days to get in contact with the one who said they were gonna refer me to GE. The guy came out and looked at it and said he couldn't repair it. I don’t want to go to the laundromat because it’s cold. She told me she was gonna replace it. We got it delivered on the 17th. But for some reason, GE sent a drum to the house. Who bought this drum? That means there was a waste of money somewhere. I need to know how to send it back because this is a waste of money. But GE was very professional. I've been with AHS for almost 10 years and they've been good to me. But they need to let me know how far a person will come and work to do the repair job.

    I have no problem with American Home Shield's contractors. I had an electrical issue and the tech who came was fine. But American Home Shield is outsourcing their work and a lot of the people didn't understand what I was saying. I didn't understand what they're saying too. There was a big cultural barrier. I talked to so many people and I think a lot of them are new. Everyone told me something different. I got disconnected and I got transferred to somewhere where I heard the conversation that we just had replaying to me. I also got transferred to a survey and to the wrong places. I was supposed to be put on hold

    I've called in now maybe 25 times and only three people knew what they were talking about. No one would transfer me to a manager. They all said that they had to take the call. I spoke to two people in Retention that knew what they were doing and they fixed the issue. The third person that knew what she was doing was the one that figured out my account was in the wrong name. She was in Purchasing Electronics.

    Thermostat Mechanical came out for our water heater issue. I have two and they said they got one working, but that one controls the flooring in my garage. The other one that controls the hot water to all of the bathrooms and sinks is not working. They said that they had to order a part and the part should have been in last Monday or Tuesday. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because it was Thanksgiving week. I called American Home Shield and said that the part's not in. I have six children and with the pandemic, COVID, we couldn't go anywhere to take a shower. I'm not really happy. I haven't had water for over two weeks now. I've called the office and spoke with a rep. I left her numerous messages and she never called back. But the technician was amazing. He's been calling and telling me about the part.

    In the event that there is something that is going to be a long process, there has to be some contingency plan for expediting or overnighting, especially when it's something that's critical. Then I asked if they could install the part if I locate it. They said no and that I would be fully responsible. They should allow me to locate the part and still cover it under the warranty. Another thing is that if it would really take 10 to 14 days to get the part, then just replace the water heater. It can be bought anywhere and there's no delay in that. The technician, upon arrival, said that he had to do a process of elimination for troubleshooting, so he was not even sure if it would fix it. Nevertheless, I am happy with my past experiences with American Home Shield and overall, I would still recommend them.

    Submitting a claim with American Home Shield is pretty simple. I get them on the phone and they file a claim for me. They contact the repair company and send them out. They usually give us an appointment within 24 hours, which is their policy. We haven't really had too many issues with regards to needed repairs. Also, their rate is pretty reasonable. It only increased slightly over the last five years.

    The last major thing that we had done was two years ago. We were having a problem with the refrigerator. The water line would freeze and we couldn't get any water out of it. The part was obsolete so they weren't able to get the part to fix it and they stepped up and gave us a brand new refrigerator. People say that that's unheard of because they usually just put a band-aid on it. But there were no qualms about it at all. Then, when the door latch on our refrigerator broke, TGM Appliance's tech came out and took it off, repositioned it, and put it back on. It was an easy fix. He was in and out in no time. I really like American Home Shield. They have been fantastic. It gives us peace of mind because we don't have the resources to just go out and replace an appliance if it goes out.

    The shower diverter stopped working. When I would turn it on, water would come out into the bath, but not out of the shower. So, when I would turn the lever, the water would just completely cut out, nothing would go through the shower. American Home Shield sent someone out. He was really great, very friendly and fixed it very quickly. He just dealt with just a washer. He said the washer had popped out of place. He was good about answering questions about it. He put on those little footsie things so he wouldn't track anything in on the carpet or the floor, which I appreciated.

    Magic Appliance worked on my dryer. My dryer was not heating. I was surprised because they didn't come in a marked van saying Magic Appliance. These two guys were knocking on my door, and I was like, “Who are you?” Then all of a sudden, I saw the one guy had a shirt that said Magic Appliance. Other than that, you wouldn't even have known that they were workers from that company because they didn't have a marked car. The claims process with American Home Shield was okay. I prefer to speak to somebody, but it was all done on a recording. Being what it is right now, with COVID, I understand. But things got done. I've also called them before and they've come and fixed my appliances. American Home Shield is a pretty good deal because what I pay monthly is not high in price, and they do come out and they do the work.

    I recommend AHS. They have been satisfactory. The reps are cordial and the techs come in and do the job. They know exactly what they are doing and what they are looking for. Recently, a plumber fixed my leaky sink and everything was good. I had water damage on the bottom of the sink where the wood is. I thought that was gonna be covered but it wasn't so I wasn't too satisfied about that. I was also a little disappointed about the timing when the plumber came out but it was during the Thanksgiving break so I kind of understood that.

    In November, our dishwasher kind of smoked and smelled like electric fire. The service people did a great job. They made sure everything happened and they talked to me about it. They said they couldn't fix the dishwasher because it has old parts. They sent in a request to see if we could get a new dishwasher from American Home Shield. But American Home Shield hasn't contacted us yet so the claim process is not so great. I need to know what is going on.

    My cooktop broke and three contractors had come out. All three said they couldn't repair it. It needed to be replaced. But I couldn't get anybody from American Home Shield. They would take the call and say they would look into it and call me back within 24 hours. I never got a call back and never got an email. I would have to call and wait on hold for a minimum of an hour at a time until I can get another person to say the same thing. That went on for two months. Finally, I got ahold of the purchasing and they agreed to replace it.

    They sent me the new unit and they said a contractor would call to put it in. The contractor called and said they don't install units. Another month has gone by. In the meantime, when I call the company, they say I have to wait an hour for someone to pick up and then after an hour, it says the wait time is another hour. It's horrible. I've been paying $39 a month for years.

    Submitting a claim online to American Home Shield is very easy and there’s no problem with doing it that way. They don’t wait five days to answer your question. I usually hear from them within 24 hours. The technician from Budget HVAC came and snaked out a drain. He was very professional and did the best of what he came out to do. He wore a mask the entire time and cleaned up whatever it was that he did. I just told my brother about AHS and he signed up yesterday. It’s a great company. They want to help and it's not expensive, which is the good part about it. You get very good quality service for the amount of money that you're paying.

    Platinum Heating and Air came and serviced my HVAC system. I've had about four claims on it. This summer, the coil in my HVAC system had to be replaced. After that, it was the blower motor cage, and then the heater was setting off the carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. There was something that burned or spilled.

    I usually call the sales rep or text her when I have a claim. Sometimes I do my claim online and sometimes I do it on the app. If I was a consumer and didn't have a connection to a sales rep, the quality of the people that they sent out would be poor. Every transaction that I have opportunity to recommend a home warranty company, I always recommend American Home Shield. But my clients have all reported difficulty in getting a response.

When I call in and I say J & K Plumbing did the last time, they tell me that's who they're going to use. It’s in their system. For 75 bucks, the issue is gonna get fixed.

    I got American Home Shield like 10 years now. I'm 72 years old and it's like peace of mind. I started using them when I was still working in sales and I traveled a fair amount. I had one of my good friends who'd come in my house and always check on it when I was gone. One time, I was on the road and he said my refrigerator was out. I called American Home Shield and by the time I came home, it was fixed. That was all good. It's more expensive and the price keeps going up but I'm happy with it. It doesn't cover everything but for things like plumbing, I can use it. I got a few bad experiences but that's been several years ago. American Home Shield hasn't been perfect but the nice thing about it is if it doesn't get done right, then you just call. You're not gonna pay anymore.

    The last two claims that I had with AHS were for the air conditioner. The air conditioner itself was producing cold Freon but the blower motor that circulates air to the house went bad. So even though it was able to produce cold Freon, there was no air movement over the coils to make the air colder or conditioned. The servicemen from All Brands, I requested him. He was stellar. He's one of the best repairmen. This time, there was no delay. But the last time, it was 10 days in the middle of summer because they didn't approve the repair. I caught AHS in a few lies back at the time. I had to buy portable air conditioning units. It cost me about $700 in addition to the repair cost because it took so long.

One time, we also called AHS for our shower. It's been tiled and everything's new but the grout is coming apart. And because we had an issue in another bathroom with a leak, we called and said it was a plumbing problem.

    AHS sent the plumber out and we pay $75 every time someone comes out, which is fine. But when the techs got out here, they were not the ones who could work on the grout. So if we called back on that issue, we had to pay again for someone else. It was a little frustrating because as the homeowner, you don't always know what the fix is always going to be. So it's hard when you have to call then go through that process and be charged again.

    Legacy 4 came out for my faucet and the leak under the sink. They fixed the leak under the sink but for the faucet, they said that was going to have to be replaced and they would send in a thing to American Home Shield. They haven't sent that in yet but I think the work they did was really good compared to the reason it was broken. I had a dishwasher installed and the installer from Lowe's caused the leak under my sink. So, I called Lowe's and told them about it. They sent out another plumber who came out and looked at my sink, made the leak worse, and broke my faucet. I was mad enough that the installation department is giving me 75% off not just on my next purchase, but on my next project. But Legacy 4 came out and they were courteous. They showed up on time. They texted me before they were gonna get here. They went to work pretty quickly and got the work done very quickly too. They also cleaned up after themselves.

    This is the second thing that I've had to have replaced. I know that American Home Shield has to check their balances and quality control but they could improve on simplifying the process between getting something broke all the way to getting something fixed. It's not really hard but it's just time-consuming. I had to deal without a dishwasher for two and a half weeks and one of those was through Thanksgiving. That sucked.

For a claim I had for my garbage disposal, Yamaz Plumbing came out and the tech was good. He ended up replacing the unit. It's running well now.

    When our toilet wasn't flushing properly, I called American Home Shield and I wanted somebody out right away, but it took a few days. I called on a Thursday and it was Tuesday morning when they came. The company called me that morning to let me know when the plumber was on his way, and he'd be here within a certain amount of time. The plumber was polite. He asked what the problem was and I explained it to him. He had to replace that whole inside stuff on the toilet and our toilet has been fine since. That’s the first time we used American Home Shield. We've been paying them for a while and I'm not always clear as to what things are covered. We also had to pay $100 for the service fee. Still, it's nice to have knowing that when something goes wrong, I can get it fixed without too big of an expense.

    Going to American Home Shield's website, describing my problem and scheduling the service was great. It was easy, clear and almost effortless. The technician came out and looked at the problem. He said he needed to get a part and described what was gonna happen. Then, he left. The part was delivered later that day by another person and that was easy-peasy. I grabbed the part and put it on the counter. Then he called back and scheduled himself two days later. He showed up and put the part in. It would have been great if he had the part on his truck. But I understand that you can't always have every part and it all went smoothly. My wife was home for the final repair and she said that the repairman was very nice and he was clean. Now, the machine works.

    I also had a problem with my oven and the man came out and repaired it. So, I have my own personal experience and this appliance technician said that this a great thing for me, they like it and of all the warranties out there, American Home Shield is the best one. People should buy it. Even the repairman said that if you're gonna buy a warranty, go with American Home Shield.

    I’ve used American Home Shield's service twice and they've been good. The contractors contacted me pretty quickly and it was a pretty fast service, which was a bonus. My most recent claim was for my microwave above my stove. The light would turn on inside when I would start the microwave but it wouldn't heat up. The tech came earlier and was good. He was fast and he didn't make any noise.

    The way I did the claim this time was, I was on the phone with the guy because I had to get a refund. I had scheduled a heater tune-up but I came down with COVID so I had to cancel it. But American Home Shield still charged me 75 bucks for the service so I had to call them to get my refund. I've done a refund with American Home Shield sometime last year and they were pretty quick about it. It was within 7 to 10 days. While I was on the phone with the guy, I scheduled service for the microwave as it had been broken for a couple of months.

    The man who helped, his name was Nick and he was wonderful. He kept me abreast of what was going on. He had to do something that impacts the paint a bit, not his fault, a different size thing. He explained it. He was very helpful. When he finished everything, he explained what he did. However, it has been a little confusing the last few times about the $75 service fee. I just rack it up to COVID. There was a bit of a problem trying to get something resolved, a previous request for some plumbing, and American Home Shield did a good job of resolving. But they weren't quite as communicative. I ended up getting a decorative part that didn't match what I should have had.

    I have been with American Home Shield here for about 20 years. In my home in Dallas, I have had them about 30 some years. The only problem that I had was on a situation at this house in Trinidad. The time before this last time, I had been trying to get someone here to fix this dryer for about six months. When they first came out, the guy told me that I had to stop the vent and that was not covered under my American Home Shield policy. After I spent $300 getting the vent taken out and replaced, I called them and told them that that was done. When they sent another guy, he told me that it was not the element, it was my electricity. So, I paid another 80-something dollars. They sent an electrician out here but there wasn't anything wrong with the electricity. It was still something in the dryer. Then I had to pay him for the service call and that was another 100 and something dollars.

    I just gave up on it because I went back to Dallas and I needed to be here when they came back. When I came back was when I called again about it. It was very nice to have Mr. Appliance. The young man had the part on his truck. He wore a mask and made sure that he explained to me what he was having to do and why he was having to do that. He put an element in quickly and efficiently which is what I needed in the first place before I spent all that money for what American Home Shield didn't cover. I also want to compliment the company because they kept me advised as to when he was coming and how long it would be. The girl called me back the next day and said, "We can come Wednesday instead of Thursday if it's okay." They were very personable. My dryer's working well but that was a terrible situation with American Home Shield. I felt like they should have refunded me at least one of those $80 that I paid them.

    I did a claim online with American Home Shield on a Sunday night. I’m not very computer literate and I was able to do it. It was pretty easy. I got an email and a text notifying me that someone was going to notify me on Monday. South Valley Appliance got in contact with me. I got some email and text alerts. That's how I knew that I did a good job on the computer. American Home Shield acted quickly on my claim.

    A gentleman came within that week. When he pulled out the switch and put it back in, he said it was the compressor. He had a piece on hand to test if it was a certain piece. He then let American Home Shield know that my claim needed to go to a different person because he doesn’t do compressors. He can’t handle that because of the restriction on the use of Freon in the state of California. It’s a hazard type of thing.

    That same day, another gentleman came out. He checked things out and said he would get the compressor ordered. The company ordered my compressor that Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I just contacted them two days ago asking where we are at and was told that the compressor still hasn’t come in yet. I’m still waiting for the refrigerator to be repaired. I’m happy with the quickness of American Home Shield getting back to me but not with the service of getting my refrigerator repaired in a timely manner. It’s taking a long time.

    We made a claim for our microwave and Andy’s Appliance Repair came out. Placing the claim was the easy part. But I called Wednesday last week about an electrical problem I was having. They told me that Oak Electric was going to take care of the problem. Come Friday, I hadn't heard anything so I called the company to say, “Home Shield’s got you lined up to come look at my electrical problem and I haven't heard from you.” I called four times on Friday and nobody ever answered the phone. I wondered if they went out of business. I kind of let it go and I was going to call American Home Shield today. But about an hour ago, Oak Electric called and asked if they could come on Friday and take a look at the issue. I agreed and that was fine. It's not that it needs to be done right away.

    I also called two weeks ago about a problem I was having. One of my toilets was leaking and American Home Shield sent out Patriot Plumbing. They got ahold of me right away and made an appointment. They came out and were as nice as could be. They've been out before with another problem I had and they were absolutely great. But it's kind of hit and miss. There are probably a lot of different contractors American Home Shield works with and probably 99% of them are good while a couple of them are just “argh.” Overall, American Home Shield was fast and our experience was good. The contractors that I've dealt with were very efficient and knowledgeable in their work.

He explained to me exactly what he did and he was in here 15 minutes. I was very satisfied with that experience. However, when my air conditioner went out, it was an awful experience. The tech that they sent out said it was not normal wear and tear. I told them the unit is up in the loft over my garage. It's not like somebody is up there playing with it. They sent another tech out and the second tech told me he was going to order the part. It was leaking and it wet up my wall. When I called to ask the company if the part was for it, they told me, “No, ‘cause American Home Shield said they weren't going to pay for it because it was not normal wear and tear. There was no part to be ordered.”

    They just kept giving me the runaround. I told them I'm going to call somebody to fix my air conditioning because I'm 80 years old. I cannot be in this house with no air. I called another company and he came out and said that it was all corroded. They pulled it out. I took pictures of it. I was getting no response from American Home Shield so I got an attorney. They told me they had sent them two letters and AHS did not respond. But when a person called me to ask me about my experience and I told them, it was the next week that they called the attorney and told them how much they were willing to pay towards the changing of the air condition.

    Home Shield has taken care of me and I'm happy with them. I have some issues but they're manageable. I don't like how they're doing things because it causes more strain on the technician and the customer, but I would still use them. I have to understand that I just got to play the game. I recommend them over the other warranty companies seen infomercials because they have taken care of what they said they will take care of.

    My situation is my wife and I had been with this company for years. When it started, I could talk to a person and request a specific AHS provider. Now, when I file a claim, I can't do that. I'm dealing with whoever answers the phone for the most part. The problem is, I have issues understanding that claim agent because of their dialect. We've had the same issue for about the last six months to a year. But things are better now that I can actually talk to a live person.

    With my last situation, it wasn't Home Shield's fault. We had to go through two technicians to find somebody that could actually fix the problem. The problem was getting the part. The part is now shipped to Home Shield. In years past, the technician could just find the part locally then take care of the problem. Now, Home Shield orders the part then shifts it to the technician. The technician has to make sure that the part's going to be provided then wait for the part to be shipped.

    We initially had a home inspection on our house. We have the report that everything was fine and working. We had no problem when we bought the house. But there was a mess up on the paperwork when we closed. I ended up buying the home warranty after we closed because it was supposed to be added. Two weeks after we closed, we moved in. Within 30 days, we started having problems with the water heater. When we turned the propane back on, some of the equipment was not coming back on. We had called the home warranty folks and they sent somebody out. We have two water heaters in our house. One of them heats the water that comes into the faucet while the other one heats the furnace. The first plumber that came out turned off the furnace or he tried to fix one because he thought they were connected. He ended up getting the system back up and running but it went down again.

    We called back and we had another plumber come out. They said that the water heater that heated the water that came into the house was shot and needed to be replaced. That was when we were informed that apparently our account was flagged and that there was a denial on the system. Home Shield was not going to replace anything. We provided them documentation that we had a home inspection that stated nothing was preexisting. We were told that the claim was resolved because we got permission to have the water heater replaced. One of the water heaters was replaced. Because of code requirements, they had to cut some lines and put some new piping in. They had to shut some valves off, which we found out later they basically killed our other water heater which went to the furnace.

    Once it got cold out, we tried to turn the furnace on but it wouldn't come on. We then called the home warranty and they sent out an HVAC specialist. They took one look at the system and said they didn't deal with this type of system. We needed to work with a plumber. We went back to the home warranty people and said, "We want the plumbers that put in the new water heater to come back. Because they cut, changed, and turned the stuff off." They sent that person out. They said that it was a quick fix. It was just the valves that needed to be replaced for the other water heater. It should be back in a day or so. We were very concerned because we were heading into a 30-degree weather. That was going to be a couple of cold nights. We were concerned about not being able to heat the house. We have pets and kids. With COVID, there's no place that we can go to like and friends. We're kind of stuck.

    We started getting the runaround with the plumber. They weren't going to come back. They didn't want the liability. Talking to Home Shield, they were trying to convince the plumber to come back because they are liable because they were the ones that rerouted the system. We started hearing that the claim was being rejected. Everything has to be out of pocket.

    When the water heater was replaced, we paid an additional $800 out of our pocket that Home Shield did not cover because of the code changes. There were upgrades that the warranty wouldn't cover. It took two weeks. We had to pay $600 to have the Sigman company come back to replace the valve so that we can get our furnace working because Home Shield was not covering it after they said that they would and that everything was resolved. We were pinned against the wall because no one would touch the system because somebody else had altered it. I couldn't bring another plumber in because they didn't want to take on the liabilities because Sigman screwed it up.

    Things got very heated. There was an exchange between my husband and the plumbers because they set the appointment then cancelled it. They said they were never coming back to our house again. I called Home Shield and they said no plumbers were available. We were getting referred to attorneys because this is our furnace on a brand new house that they altered and they refused to fix. Home Shield basically backed the plumber and screwed us. Overall, the claim did not go very well. We're very pissed and very disappointed with American Home Shield. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.

    I have submitted all my claims online. I had five claims with Home Shield this year. And every time I've submitted that claim, they have scheduled the work and got what I needed done completed. I've had some issues, so they've worked through them all for me. I had an air conditioning unit go out this summer and they were good about helping resolve the issue. It went three weeks without air conditioning when it was 90 degrees out. But they got the issue resolved, so I can't complain. They have been good to work with. Everything went well.

    With Patriot Plumbing, they had two guys show up. They wore masks. They had to take my toilet apart. There was a clog in the sewer line going out to the main line and they were very helpful. It was a dirty job and they're very professional. Got the job done. And then, they followed up and explained what clogged the line and what they had to take out. And then, this summer, when my air conditioning unit went out, that situation was a coil went bad in the air conditioning unit and they ordered a new coil, and then the technician came back on site.

    It was bigger than just replacing the coil, and they had to order a new unit, and they put that all back in. That was why there was a three-week delay. But they got everything resolved. I've had to use Home Shield more than the normal person over the last year, unfortunately. I had my dishwasher control panel go out, they got that fixed. The temperature thing went out on the oven, they had to replace that. I've paid the $85 each time, and then they had technicians come out and fix it. All professional technicians and local people.

    I would recommend Home Shield to anybody. However, when there is a delay of getting one of the items in your home fixed, they need to figure out how to get that communication back to the customer. I had to go out and buy a $500 portable air conditioning unit because I didn't know how long I would have to wait because of the delay on whatever part that they were trying to find, that whoever was contracted to do it had to get approval through Home Shield and wait to get that approval to purchase the part. If they could improve that, they would own the market. People want things done quickly, right? So, that communication's full circle back on why there's a delay. All these companies that offer the service for homeowners, whoever can get the best communication back during those repair delays, win the day. It would be the top choice for everybody. Other than that, Home Shield has treated me good, so I would stay with them.

You call them, tell them your problem, and they take $75. Whatever the problem might be, they give you a third-party company and then somebody will call you a day or two later. I liked my dishwasher claim, but two weeks before that, I had a claim for garage door and the guy came out for two minutes. I understand the guy had another business besides that (cleaning buildings, fogging buildings for the COVID). He called his boss and he said, “Oh, no, I can’t fix it. I’ll send you an estimate next week.”

    I called American Home Shield and said, “I'm not paying $75 for a guy to come out for two minutes and do this.” I said, “This guy is ridiculous.” It was a bad deal and American Home Shield said they were gonna refund half of my 75. I've had to get somebody else to do my garage door, which I know that the guy could have done some if he didn't have another business. However, I was a little more upset that American Home Shield didn't refund my money like they said they did.

    American Home Shield has an online site where you can easily do your claim. You can go ahead and pay for your copay at the same time. You can skip through the waiting period of calling in. I'm a real estate agent and my company uses American Home Shield. For me to refer my clients to them and also use them personally, that says a lot. Recently, we had a clogged toilet and the guy that came did very well. He was very professional and thorough explaining everything to me.

    Submitting a claim with AHS has been pretty straightforward. However, I check the contract before I submit something to make sure it's something that's covered 'cause I have had a couple of issues where it seemed like something should have been covered and it wasn't. It would also be nice if there was some way to verify that you're not spending 75 bucks to have somebody come out and say that something's not covered.

    The first plumbing company that AHS assigned to our claim never got back to us. My wife called them multiple times. But the second company was wonderful to work with. They set up a time frame with me and I told them my wife and I are both at work during that time. They said they would give us a courtesy call so we could leave work early and get back to the house. They set all that up for us and they came out, identified the problem with the T trap being disconnected, and got that fixed right away. Then, they identified the problems with the faucet that they replaced and came back out as soon as they got the parts in and got those replaced for us. They did a weekend call for us to install the faucet and they were very pleasant people. Now, I have no leaks and the new faucet works great.

    My wife likes the claims process most of the time. Sometimes when she calls in, she doesn't get to speak to a person and the automated system is kind of clunky, so she can't give a good description of what's going on. But whenever she gets to speak to a person, she says it's great to get to talk to somebody and she can better explain the issue. Also, it's a hit or miss with some of the contractors that have been referenced to us. Some contractors have shown up and some won't even return our phone calls. I'd like to not see them put back on the list because we kind of get a runaround from them. Other than that, we've been happy with everything with American Home Shield. We've had quite a few service calls and they get it taken care of every time. I've always bragged to my friends about how they need to get a homeowner's warranty and told them about all the things that AHS has done for us.

    It's been a rash of issues with this home and our experience with American Home Shield has been fantastic at times. The hot water heater began to leak and the claim was handled very well. Our only expense was they had to add something to bring the water heater up to code. But we had an oven and a refrigerator issue and those were less than pleasant experiences. For the oven, they found a part for it and fixed it. We're happy with the oven now, although it seems like it took a while.

    The biggest issue was the refrigerator. It needed a new control board but they don't make them anymore. It seemed like six weeks of back and forth and waiting on hold and getting transferred to the wrong departments. It was maddening. They offered $300 just to have them get a new refrigerator. But that was pennies on the dollar. They said they can come pull the control board and send it off and that'd be 7 to 10 days. It's been about two weeks and still nothing. I was talking to the repairman and he said that's laughable that American Home Shield said it'd take that time.

    Every customer service agent I've spoken with has been professional and polite. They knew I was frustrated and they kept their cool the whole time. I've been very impressed with that. But what is extremely frustrating is when I ask to talk to a supervisor, I almost never get a callback. Also, they said that because I'll be without a refrigerator for a period of time, I can have $125 credit to go buy a minifridge. I told them I found this used refrigerator for $100 and I've already rented a U-Haul trailer. I asked if I could buy it and after a little while, the rep said the supervisor said yes. I also asked for that to be put in the notes.

    I took the U-Haul receipt that this private party gave me for the refrigerator and AHS said I can only buy a new minifridge. I tried to call and speak to a supervisor but the rep said no. I also asked him to read some of the notes and he couldn't find it. I'm out 125 bucks because what was told to me is not what American Home Shield decided to do.

I called Home Shield, I told them what my problem was and they said, “A contractor will get in touch with you.” They called me, set up an appointment, and they came out to fix it. The repair guy screwed a little piece off the faucet and took the strainer out, and the water flowed easily. He did a good job. The trouble was simple, but I didn't know. It made me feel embarrassed. It's something that I could have dealt with right then. If it's something big like a heater or an AC though, I’d like to see a contractor come out a lot sooner.

    For our plumbing claim with AHS, the tech did awesome with the tub. He was very quick, efficient and everything worked fine. He checked it before he left. He had me check it and everything was good on that. With the toilet claim, the tech didn't do anything. He just recommended that I replace the toilet per se. I told him sometimes it was getting backed up. It wouldn't flush properly. He asked how old the house was. I said it was 11 years old. He said it was probably time for the toilets to be replaced. Other than that, he was professional.

    But I haven't been pleased with American Home Shield overall. When I called them to do the AC, they said that the board may need to be replaced. The tech came out and did that. But the technician that did it didn't complete or he crossed some wires. It still wasn't working. They had to send another technician out there. They said, "he didn't do this and that.” He called the supervisor and he did it correctly and I was fine with that.

    Then I called AHS for the stove and the range. The fan wasn't working, and also the outlets didn’t work and it had sparked and shorted out. They replaced it. But then the same thing went out again so they ended up doing my stove twice. My thing is, if it wasn't working the first time, where I'm calling AHS for the same thing, they should replace the stove. Because the techs coming back out over and over again, it was not doing me good because it was Thanksgiving. They got someone out there in time. But I had to rent a stove because the parts had to be ordered now and the oven wasn't working. It was a big thing. I paid $92 and I have to do a minimum of a month renting a stove. It was just that double fixing is what I don't get. I was looking about changing to someone else.

    American Home Shield has been great. However, when stuff breaks, if you constantly have to keep calling them to come out and it may be the same thing that's constantly breaking or various things in there that's breaking, why don't they just replace it? We had an issue with our air condition. For five years, we were calling them out several times a year, and they never replaced our unit. We would be days without our air condition, and it was our compressor that was going out. They would continually want to repair it knowing that they were already called out two times earlier in the season for the same thing. It cost us every time someone came out. We ended up paying out of pocket to have our air condition and our heating system replaced.

    Also, for certain things that could go wrong in your home, it would be good if American Home Shield has someone that they could contract with seven days a week, 24 hours a day, such as drain and plumbing, things like that where the damage being caused to your home is active. Depending on what you call them for, it may not be a priority or they may not contract with companies that could come out the same day. For instance, when we had a leak in our house and water was coming from our ceiling, we explained to them what the damage was. They tried to find someone to come out on a Sunday, but they don't have contracts with people who come out seven days a week for certain things. We had to wait till the next business day. Sometimes, we still have to wait to get on the contractor list, whoever they send us to. As a consumer, I will have to call American Home Shield to follow up.

    When we had a water leak from our refrigerator, I initially did the request online. Once it was set up, I waited for a contractor, and then I called. We had to have someone come out very quickly because we were having a leak and the ceiling fell. American Home Shield got someone else the very next day. Once they called A 3 Aces, they were able to get out the same day. For them to be able to put us into their schedule, I appreciated that. The gentleman came out and he fixed the leak the first time, but there was definitely a language barrier. He had a difficult time understanding what my husband was saying. Besides that, he did his job and he was pleasant.

    We still had a leak in another part though. The part that was replaced malfunctioned and we had to have him come back out. When we called him, he immediately came out and repaired it. All in all, I don't think that American Home Shield sucks, but my husband says they do. With him, if you don't do something the right way, and if you come back out and it’s the same way, he disregards with it. All of our experiences have not been bad. I would say some of the major things, especially with our air condition, that was a big one for us. I paid for insurance, but American Home Shield didn't cover that.

Luckily, we live in California, so it's only cold at night. Other than that, the people were very professional. They knew what they were doing and knew exactly what the problem was. They basically warned us not to turn this furnace on because it could blow your house up and gave us all those warnings. American Home Shield has been very helpful.

    I got two claims and we had a disagreement on the first one. But I will let discretion be the better part of valor. It's a matter of wording, whether an air conditioner is a through-wall or window unit. Home Shield's contention was if it is a through-wall or window and can be mounted in a window, then it's a window. The fact that it's mounted through-wall doesn't count. So I said, "Okay. Well, whatever."

    Our recent problem was we got a 50-gallon tank and two people live in this house. And it got to where one person couldn't take a shower without running out of hot water. The techs came out and looked at it. I knew ahead of time they were coming. I knew their names and all that stuff. The tech was here in a day. Excellent individual. They caught two issues. This is a 12-year-old hot water heater. They found the lower thermostat wasn't functioning like they thought it would. So, they replaced the thermostat. It helped but it's getting close to the end of the line on it. We understand that. But they couldn't replace the heater because they could fix it. That's what they said. So, they fixed it. You can get in there and take a shower. If you hurry, you won't run out of hot water.

    I originally put a claim in for my refrigerator. At the very beginning, it was freezing up. If I would have known this, I would have never bought this refrigerator. I had to defrost it every two to three weeks or a month. I called American Home Shield and their people came out the first time. They did something and left. It worked about four or five weeks then I had to call him back because it started to freeze up again.

    The second time he came out, they did something. They removed the line and he fixed that problem from the refrigerator freezing up. However, the freezing-up problem transferred from the refrigerator over to the icemaker. I called again and it cost me another 100 bucks. I don't think I should keep paying 100 bucks deductible when the problem was never rectified from the very beginning. All they did was move the problem from the refrigerator over to the icemaker and it’s still freezing up to where it's not making ice. The problem was never rectified. If I keep paying 100 bucks, I might as well go and buy a new refrigerator and don’t call American Home Shield to try to fix it.

    During the summer, the unit downstairs stopped working. I called Home Shield and Air Design came over. He came, looked, saw the problem, and he was gone within minutes. He was very polite, premier customer service. When he came in, he had his mask on. It was a part that was needed. They got the part, put it right on and cleared it up. I knew something was wrong because it was so cold in here. It was cold in here than it was outside. But it's working just perfect now. I'm so grateful for that. I couldn't have asked for better service. And then, my doorbell was not working. He came and said something about the wiring in it. Just recently, the bottom part of my refrigerator is not freezing. A part has been ordered for that one. As soon as the part comes, they will come and repair it.

    The service has been impeccable. Everybody that I've talked to has provided premier customer service. Also, the reps that came out to do whatever needed to be done provided a good kind of service. I would refer them to anybody. This morning, this lady called and I told her that I had Home Shield.

    My microwave made noises one night and I didn't want to touch it again. A day later, a tech named Ariel with AJ Abella Appliance came out and said that there was no noise in there. I then had him look at my fan above as the lid kept falling off. He reordered that for me. That came in within two weeks and Ariel put that up. I also had him check the level of the microwave. When I had work done on my house, the people kind of changed it around a little bit. The microwave is not gonna fall down but it looks like it's leaning a little bit. Ariel assured me of that as well and he was wonderful. If I need anything other than Home Shield, I would call AJ Abella and I'd refer them to anybody because I was really impressed.

    The first time I called to ask about my pool pump, I never could get anybody to answer. That was one particular time I never got through and I just gave up. Also, I was referred to American Home Shield by my friend. We were both supposed to get a $25 Amazon gift card. It was a hassle trying to get 50 bucks so we both gave up on that. They made you go to a different department to write about it or telling us we needed to do this. Those were discouraging about American Home Shield but those were my only issues.

    The dishwasher wasn't working correctly. National came over and checked it out. The tech fixed something, but that didn't quite take care of the problem. So, he determined that it needed a new front display. They ordered it, and they kept me up to date as well as I get emails from AHS as well. And then, when it finally came in, the tech texted me and said, "Oh, they accidentally sent the wrong color. Do you want it? To keep it?" Because he ordered white, which is our dishwasher, and it came in black.

    And then, I asked him if he can send me a picture so I could think about it because it's rather inconvenient not to have a dishwasher. And we thought with the pandemic, if there was another shutdown, we might be without it. So, he sent us pictures and gave us a bit to think about it. And we said, "Yeah, you know what, it actually goes with the kitchen because our fridge has kind of black panels and it's white." We figured it would look nice and they said, "Okay." Also, we asked another question and they gave us a quote on that too, which was very nice. And then, he set up an appointment. It took him 45 minutes. It was the same tech with the first time. He was very professional and pleasant. I had a very good experience.

    Sometimes, I would rather deal with a person, so I usually call in and the phone waits are a little long, but that's the only thing. Other than that, we're very happy. We had two claims last year and we're very happy with all AHS' techs. They are very professional and they keep you up to date. They call before they come. I'm very pleased with the service and the technicians.

    One time, we had an electrical issue. AHS sent a service tech and we used them afterwards for things that was not related to our contract, so it would not have been covered. But the guy is so great. He's a young man and he's really good at what he's doing. He lives down the street. He just has a knack. It didn't take him long to troubleshoot. He finds out what the problem is quickly, fixes it and it's very reasonable. And he has a year warranty if he does any work, so we're very pleased with him overall.

    The people that I talked to are very knowledgeable. The response time is quick. I'm very happy and we're planning on renewing AHS next year when the time comes for that. We have the seven store upgrade with AHS that made it a little more expensive, but it's worth it. Also, last year at renewal, we decided to go with the electronics coverage as well.

    We just moved in and the HVAC was really dirty. You could tell that the condenser outside hadn't been serviced in a very long time. I wanted to make sure that a professional looked at the unit. All the coils were filthy and I could clean them myself, but I wasn't sure how the pressure was. It’s a new home, so we wanted to make sure it was all in good shape. The heater will be kicked on a lot during the winter and in the summer, the AC, so I wanted to make sure all the lines were good. I filled up the service request online and it was easy. I like that I didn't have to make my account first. I just put the zip code in that brought up my policy, and then I checked off a box, and clicked submit. It said, “In the next 24 hours, someone will reach out.”.

    The next day, Absolute Refrigeration gave me a call and said they would be there that afternoon. When they came out, they hosed everything off and cleaned it all out. The pressure was good, and all the hoses were good. They said everything was in good shape. The unit wasn't performing bad before they came out, but when we bought the house, my home inspection recommended having it cleaned. I figured I better have it serviced all the way. So far, American Home Shield has been great.

Then, they reached out and had someone come up to my house to look at what was wrong. I had two visits from the techs. The first time, they were looking at both the washing machine and the dishwasher because I had issues with both of them. They were professional, stayed six feet apart, and wore masks.

    But they closed out the ticket even though the dishwasher didn't get repaired. So they reopened it and sent someone again. And he was very nice and very professional. He came in and looked again. Then he ordered a part and came back a few weeks later to replace it. All in all, having AHS has been convenient, but it takes a long time to get anything done.

    Recently, A, R came out and fixed my furnace. The whole problem stemmed from the original contractor that came out here and fixed our AC unit earlier in the year. They replaced the main unit and they had to put a coil on the inside piece in my basement, which is where the furnace is. My heating unit kept blowing fuses and the company that fixed the AC was called out again. They came and replaced the little fuse, and it started working, but their solution was to hand me a handful of fuses and said, "If it does it again, just replace the fuse." At the time, we were getting ready to turn the AC on, so it didn't ever happen again.

    When we went to turn the heater on many weeks ago, the heat wouldn't come on. It blew a fuse again, so I went down and pulled the fuse out, stuck another fuse in, and it did it again. It wouldn't ever stop. The unit kept blowing the fuse. When I called it back in to American Home Shield, I told them specifically to not send out that original contractor back here because we've had problems with them. They've worked on our house for the last two years and every time they showed up, something else happened or broke. American Home Shield said okay and didn't push back on it.

    They sent the A, R guys out to see what was wrong with my furnace and the guy ended up telling me it was wired back up wrong when the other contractor put the AC in. Evidently, two wires were swapped and when it kicked the heat on, it would blow the fuse. Once the A, R guy figured out what the other contractor had done, he fixed the problem, and so far, we've not had any problems with it. All in all, American Home Shield sent me another contractor that was knowledgeable enough to find the problem that was there, and they fixed it from the other contractor. I'm pleased with what they did. The only problem I have with American Home Shield is not being able to get in touch with somebody that can make decisions on the phone.

    Every time I call, I tell the people I talk to on the phone the problem and then somebody has to call me back. This is stemming from the fact that I've had problems with that other contractor. They supposedly came out and fixed the problem under whatever warranty claim it was and then I'd have to call back again and have to start explaining, “I've already paid for this and they didn't fix it.” It takes forever to get to a real person that can make a decision, but other than that, I don’t have any problems. American Home Shield has been great and I've kept my service for three years now.

The problem was the AC was not turning off from the thermostat. It had to reach a temperature. It would just keep going, if it was hot or a cold. So, if the heater’s on, it would be 80 degrees inside, or the AC was on, it would be 60 inside. Now, it's not warming up. It’s 60 in the house even though the heater’s on. But so far, everything's good. I made another claim for them to come back out, and they are going to be here today. I feel like the turnaround time is good.

    The service guy was nice. He was here before I even made it home. Then he was helpful and he was telling me he was going to go check this. He tested things and found a problem, but there was something else besides what he found still causing an issue. He was polite and professional. American Home Shield is recommended.

    I like AHS and the warranty is well worth it. If my dishwasher needs a repair on it, someone's come out Monday. For a first time homeowner, it's a great way if you don't have the money to replace something. It helps out and gives you that trust that the issue can be taken care of for you. Recently, I noticed that there was a bubble in my shingles and my roof was leaking. I submitted a claim and the techs came out the next day. They looked at it then they came out explaining what the issue was, which I was not used to. They were able to get the bubble back down and they readjusted the shingles for me, so there wouldn't be a leak anymore on the inside.

    They also told me that my roof, where the wood is, is most likely compromised. So, I would have to fix that in the springtime. Plus, they said that the home warranty wouldn't cover it, which is understandable because it's something different. They were really nice guys and they were very courteous. I would hire them in the future if need be.

The first technician that came didn't find out what was wrong with the washing machine. He was scared to take it apart and walked away. One week later, I had the same problem again. I call back and was sent a good technician. This second guy figured out what's wrong with the washing machine. He ordered a part then he fixed the washing machine a week later. He was very good.

They never even told me they weren't coming out. I called, made a complaint and they came out a couple of days later.

    At another time, American Home Shield showed me the offer about getting my dryer trap cleaned by Porch. I went for them and they never showed up. I called them several times and they said, "Oh."

    We love AHS. They are very professional and the people that they send out do a thorough job. They also meet our expectations, which we set high because we're true believers that if you're going to do something, you do it right the first time. As a matter of fact, I'm having electricians come out this week. We also just sold our house, we're moving down to southern Ohio, and we want AHS to be our home warranty there. We had a home inspector come and he had written up everything under the sun that didn't need to be done, but we still had checked out. So last week, we had a plumber come out and they tightened and sealed a toilet for us. They did caulking as well and they checked underneath the faucets for us to make sure there were no leaks. They were in and out of here, plus they wore masks and kept distance. I would recommend AHS to anybody. Their fees are a little higher but we pay the service is really good and we want the full coverage.

    I called for my bathroom plumbing recently and the worker who came out was excellent. He did everything. He explained everything, ordered the part and everything was done. I would definitely recommend American Home Shield, except the price. I've told three other people to call and they did. There are also four members in my family who have the home warranty and they're all happy. Submitting a claim has been easier over the years as well, but personally, their price has gone up so much. From 49.99, now it's 62 something monthly. It is a lot. That's one of the major issues that I always have.

    American Home Shield should give people a break because people don't call somebody every month to fix something. It's the same with insurance. You might pay years and years and not visit the doctor, but you have to have it. I understand that, but it has to be reasonable. Before, I never complained and every month, I would pay, but with COVID, it's terrible times. Employment has stopped. My husband and I are only working part time. We're having a very difficult time and I would hate to shop around, but I'm starting to think that I have to.

    Two months ago, I requested repair of several appliances. I had delayed repairs due to the pandemic, but when my clothes dryer crashed, I could not wait any longer. I was assigned an appliance repair company who sent a representative to my home and wrote up each item but failed to research part availability, even after I called them several times. Upon research I discovered American Home Shield had contracted with a company with very poor reviews which echoed the experiences I was having.

    I was finally able to persuade AHS to authorize an out of contract appliance repair shop. Their technician came, diagnosed and completed a parts search in under 24 hours. He discovered there were no available parts due to the age for two appliances and so reported to AHS. He did receive permission to fix one and did so promptly. But I had to pay him directly and seek reimbursement from AHS. He advised me to do a follow-up call to discover the next step for the other two appliances.

    I have called many times over the past three weeks trying to find where I am in the system. I have spoken to regular agents, to escalation representatives and to people who work outside the country and do not even have employee identification numbers. I have been told the parts search department is trying to find parts, the escalation parts search department is trying to find parts, and that I will receive a call with information in 10 minutes (no call), 24 hours (no call) and 48 hours (yet, no call). I have received many apologies for the failure of anyone to contact me and for the length of time it is taking to get an answer – repair or replace? And I have been told that there is no time limit on their side.

    In the meantime, I am attempting to dry my clothes on hangers in the yard in the dead of winter, am sending sheets to the laundry at great expense, and am losing hope AHS will honor the contract we have with them. And there appears to be no recourse; no appeal course short of a very expensive lawsuit. I am also wondering if I will receive the more than $450 that I have spent to get one appliance fixed and the remainder diagnosed. I am fearful, based on the delaying tactics being used by representatives of AHS that I am either out the money or will have a difficult time receiving a refund. Only time will tell, as the saying goes. I will report on my success or failure in a couple of weeks. This is a shame that this company appears to be so disorganized and unable to provide timely service.. I purchased the contract in good faith. They do not seem to be able to honor it on their side. I cannot, therefore recommend this product.

    I've had American Home Shield for 30 years. It used to be a lot easier just calling, getting somebody live and explaining to them. Now, on the phone you press this button and that button. Sometimes you can't explain to a computer what's going on ‘cause it doesn't compute. Also, what I don't like is that I have to pay upfront before they dispatch anybody. It should be after the job is done because I don't know if they do a good job.

    It happened one time where they dispatched somebody for my air conditioner in my attic. The guy must have weighed over 400 pounds. There was no way he was gonna be able to go up into the attic. He just went up the ladder, looked in and came down. It took him 30 seconds and said there was nothing wrong with it. I had to call, argue with American Home Shield and tell them, “You need to send somebody else because this guy didn't do anything.”

    We moved into this house probably 22 years ago. I have had an issue with my air conditioner unit. This is every year that I have to call them. Their techs come, tinker with it, and fix it for the summer. The next year, I have to call them again. It's over and over and they told me they were not gonna replace it.

There are issues that we have going on and we have to get in the trenches when there are issues on who's telling the truth when the vendors come out and who's not telling the truth.

    Recently, I have a problem with my freezer. The Active Appliance representative found a problem with one of the thermostats, and he replaced the thermostat. He told me to turn the whole freezer unit off for 24 hours, which flooded the floor in the kitchen. The ice maker and water dispenser then started leaking, and it would not stop. I called in another service call. Customer service called me and said they were rerouting the call back to Active Appliance last Thursday. American Home Shield tried to send the same people back to tell me what the problem is of why this thing would not stop leaking. It wasn't leaking before, but I have no clue that it has any bearing. Maybe it's something totally different. This has been over a week. I'm still waiting for Active Appliance to come back out.

    We got the home warranty hoping we would never have to use it, but it's been great for us. Claims submission has been smooth and when I say painless, that's putting it lightly. I haven't had any problems at all. Not long after we got American Home Shield, we ended up getting our money completely out of it for the whole year when the compressor went out on our refrigerator. They came out and fixed it quick, and we're very satisfied with that. The contractor and American Home Shield did a great job. It was very easy. We just had our dryer go out a couple of weeks ago, and again, very quick. Both companies were also very good about their approach. Before they came in, they called and told us what they would do about their precautions due to COVID (wearing a mask and mirroring what most companies are doing today). Both of them were very similar on how they did it.

    Usually, I'm pretty happy with AHS and overall, they're way better than First American. Recently, they sent out All South Air to work on my AC. My unit wasn't cooling and there was a leak. They did something and put Freon in it. Submitting the claim was easy but the online would be better if their website had more options to describe better what's going on, especially if you're filing a claim on a pool. Besides that, the techs I've had here have been fine. But I called and canceled some of the ones that they were going to send and they've been very good to respect that if there's somebody that's worked in my home before that I don't want, they don't send them back out.

    Having AHS has been very good. I have a hot tub that I need to be repaired. We're going on eight weeks and they can't find somebody that can repair it. It's freezing temperatures here and I'm concerned because I've got the hot tub full of water and it’s not working. I just wish that they could find somebody. This is a large enough town that, definitely, there's got to be repairmen around. I also had a freezer that went out and they said they don't cover freezers. That was disappointing. But all in all, any claim I've had, they've done very well. Recently, Jeffrey’s Appliance did my dishwasher. They diagnosed what the issue was. The gentleman was extremely nice, very clean, very good and explained things very well. He ordered the parts and they came in. He came back and he put it back together and it's working awesome.

    My water heater went out so I did a claim online which was very easy. I was told someone would be assigned within five minutes then I got a follow-up message saying that it would be assigned within 30 minutes. Sirius Plumbing & Air Conditioning called me early the next morning at 7:00 am. They were phenomenal and were better than I expected. Everything was great after their service.

    The only thing that I like to see different with American Home Shield is when a claim is processed and something is denied, they should tell me why certain things are not included versus directing me to call them. An explanation that's posted online would be so much more beneficial than me spending the time to call them. But that aside, everything was done so timely and so fast. They employed very professional contractors and they did the job within the same day. We didn't have to have to take cold showers. I really appreciate that.

    The front touchpad of the dryer wasn't working. As the dryer was spinning, it would beep continuously like something was wrong. The tech came. He also acknowledged that the touchpad wasn't working. I also showed him a video of how the dryer was beeping, so he could get an idea of what the problem was. He assessed it. He opened up the dryer top, he pulled it out and he opened it up.

    Then I went downstairs and he called me later. Then he said he figured out what it was. He looked, and the wire that was connecting to the touchpad, the clip was off. It's like a computer so it wasn't reading properly what you were touching. He pushed it down. It was an easy fix. After that, it’s been working perfectly and it's not beeping.

    I've had AHS for over 20 years and I definitely always recommend them to other people. The home warranty is a great thing. I've had to use it a few times on some major things like my refrigerator and dishwasher. Recently, I was concerned about my water heater. It's 25 plus years old and it's making weird noises. The water isn't getting as hot as I think it should. So I called AHS to put that in. I love calling AHS 'cause they call people who come and take care of my issue. I'm in a rural area and it's really great for me. They contacted me that day, we set up a time, and the guy was here the very next day. He was great. He checked it out and explained everything. He said the water heater looked fine and was in better shape than some newer ones he's seen.

    The service through the company is good. The only issue that would need improvement would be some of the vendors have long turnaround dates. Everything else has been good. Last week, our heater went out. It was Thursday and then I called them on a Friday. They're closed on the weekend, so on Monday, I had to call them three times before they called me back. They said that the earliest they can come out would be Friday, so almost five days away. It was 30 degrees outside and we didn't have any heat in the house. That was a little rough.

    Home Shield said the automated system assigned the closest date available contractor, but that wasn't the case this time. I kept calling back, and luckily, they were able to find somebody to come out the same day. It turned out to be an okay experience. The tech was able to fix our heater that same day and now, our heater is working. Home Shield came with our house when we closed on it and then we had some good experiences with it during the time we had it, so we kept renewing it. I still recommend it to a family when they buy a new home. This is the first time that we had an issue with the time. Usually, they come out the same day or next day.

    GE said they were coming but then they didn't, and then somebody said they were coming but they also didn't. They then said they came but they never showed up. And then, another guy from some furniture store came but he didn’t even bring tools in. He wasn't even there 15 minutes and said it needed all these parts, and he didn't know if he could get them because of COVID.

    And then, we got the GE man. He came in and said, “There was nothing wrong with it. It just had a piece of trash in the Freon.” Just wonderful. It took forever to get the right repairman. But when we got GE to come, it was perfect. They all are good because that was a pain in the butt. My husband is diabetic, and we lost groceries and his insulin. I went out and bought a cooler, but it wasn’t keeping things cool. Home Shield did me a solid. I told everybody they need to get it. I would not buy another new home without it. I love them.

    In November, the contractor got the heat pump and the furnace running together. They got the furnace as the back up and the heat pump on first. Then, a couple of weeks ago, both stopped working. I put the request in to American Home Shield for the techs to come back out. So, they did. They tried to look for the problem and they found out that the heat pump computer board was probably fried and shorting out and blowing the fuse in the furnace. So, it is running on furnace right now. AHS could try to find a way to get emergency calls because our house was without heat for a weekend. It got cold in the house and there was no way of getting somebody out that day. Other than that, it’s all good.

    Durant Plumbing is excellent. They have always come when they said they were going to come. They were very polite and efficient and they knew what they were doing. They also had masks on. We wouldn't have let them in without masks because my husband is high-risk. I had American Home Shield for well over 20 years in South Dakota. But when we moved to Michigan, the home warranty that the Realtor had was a different one. We were not at all happy with them. So, I contacted American Home Shield to see if I could get coverage back with them again because they had always been good. So since we moved here, we got American Home Shield. And I've had them ever since. The only thing I don't like is that it's hard to ever get to talk to someone from American Home Shield. It's an automated system.

    I did a claim for my washer dryer and my hood range. The dryer was squealing and it seemed like there was a buildup of lint in coins in it. So the tech took that out and it fixed the problem. Then he cleaned the washer and took care of the problem. But the hood range was not repairable. The wires had started melting so he put in a claim for it. Then American Home Shield let me pick out a new one and a company came to install it.

    Right now, the hood range is sitting off the wall. We had to turn the electricity off because when they took it off the wall, there was no junction box behind it. The wall almost looks like it may have caught on fire. I was trying to call American Home Shield to find out what our next step is. The guys that came out for that said that they were just there to install it and they weren't electricians. So they couldn't do anything any further.

    We were having a problem with, primarily, the kitchen sink draining slowly and backing up. I contacted American Home Shield, and they contacted ASAP Plumbing. I was pleasantly surprised. Some of the reviews for ASAP Plumbing are pretty negative. So, I was somewhat apprehensive that that was who American Home Shield had assigned us. But to their credit, their communication was excellent. They were able to come out in a fairly timely manner. The plumber was professional and had the problem fixed in less than an hour. I was very pleased with the service.

    I imagine that American Home Shield has contracts with different contractors, which is understandable. Being able to have, though, some selections would be good. So if in the future, we would have a similar issue and they were to give us three options. I'm big on reading reviews for anything, and I try to write reviews when I can too, and including a positive review for ASAP Plumbing in this case. But it would be good to be able to kind of do our own research and have some option as far as who's going to be coming out to our home versus just being assigned somebody.

    Our dryer was running excessively long. It listed a code on the panel that it was airflow blockage, supposedly. I thought I had cleaned this out about six months ago. The guy AHS sent examined the dryer, tested it and said that there was still a blockage in the exhaust. We have this very high roof type exhaust. He tried the dryer without the exhaust attached on it and it worked fine. He gave us a suggestion, what to do and someone to contact. But I had materials to clear it so I went in, did some clearing, and found out that the exhaust flap on the roof had gotten material into it and gotten all wet and formed a kind of a cake. That was the issue. I hadn't thought about that before and he suggested that we check these things. They don't do those types of issues though. I cleaned it out and it works fine.
