The techs replaced the icemaker unit but they're out of stock of the valve that has something to do with the water and it’s pending. A rep called me the day before yesterday and let me know that it was on order and they were going to take care of it as soon as they got the part. I'm very happy with them and they're very good people.
But the claims process with AHS was very difficult. We had a water heater that went out and they kept putting us off. There was a whole bunch of malarkey with their reps. We got something of a deluxe contract, a little bit better than normal, and we knew we were right about our coverage but we couldn't get an answer from those people. It was really starting to upset the hell out of me, but I got over it. After nine days with no water heater, we got service on it. The experience was very unpleasant, but they got it straightened out. The techs came and we had to pay a little extra, then they put a water heater in. So I'm happy with it now.

The gaskets on the refrigerator doors were tearing. Arizona Value Appliance Repair's tech was very proficient and efficient. He kept me informed as to how long it would take to acquire the part and once he had it, he set up a date and time. He showed up on time and was in and out in the wink of an eye.
We are grateful for the time that you've taken to share you AHS experience. Please let us know if you need any assistance in regards to your warranty. Have a great week.

There was a pipe in the attic for hot water that was leaking. I called AHS and talked to a representative. The process was pretty good. But I had a hard time understanding the representative because of his accent. I apologized to him and told him that I can’t understand him. He was very nice. I felt bad because he was trying very hard. He had to spell a couple of things. But I was very satisfied with how AHS handled everything. The contractor was great. Chris was the plumber that came out, and he was very knowledgeable and professional. If I had to call a plumber without American Home Shield, I would probably call them.
American Home Shield had better coverage and the copay was more than what I was paying my previous home warranty company, but I’m so okay with that. I’ve had to put out a claim with American Home Shield, and they were right on the spot every time. They replaced the air conditioner for me because it was old and it could not be fixed. So I’ve been extremely happy with them. It gives me peace of mind to have somebody that I can call and know that the problem is going to be taken care of. Also, if for any reason, if I wasn’t satisfied, they would send somebody else out to rectify the situation.
Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with the work done.
We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Enjoy your day.

I had two contractors come. Marathon came for the plumbing issue and then AHS had HRS come and they fixed it. However, I'm gonna have to call AHS back because the tech told me that the noise would stop and that it was air going down through my air conditioner through my pipes. It's been a week and the noise is still going on. I hate for the tech to come back out but the noise hasn't stopped yet.
Also previously, if I had an issue, it would be a bigger company coming out. Now AHS has more mom-and-pop people coming. One time, I had an issue and the contractor accepted it but they never showed up. They told me I had to be here all day. American Home Shield told me, “We're going to give them another shot.” And they didn't show up the second time. I called AHS and said, “Now listen, I've got this issue and you keep telling me that I have to go with these people. I'm not doing that because they're not showing up.” It's very frustrating. Other than that, I like American Home Shield. I liked that though I thought my problem was a plumbing issue and it wasn't, they allowed me to change my claim to one for an AC issue and didn't charge me another $100. I recommend AHS but they need to go back and use more professional contractors.

I had a home in Stockton and I used AHS there. We had problems and they would always come out and fix things. I also have it here in Hanford and I recently had a claim for my disposable. The tech saw what was going on and his partner told him to get a new one. They had it in within 10 minutes and that was fast and they put it in. I've talked to my neighbors about American Home Shield and told them to get it because repairs could cost them a lot of money.

I used to feel really good about American Home Shield’s service. I can't say the same anymore. When we first started, the monthly amount that we paid was reasonable. We liked that. When we had any issues, they took really good care of us. But recently, we had an issue with our dishwasher and that was where our relationship went down the drain. Our dishwasher stopped working. They sent somebody out to fix it. We paid $125. The person came out, and he did something. He said, “Okay. It’s working now" and he left. We loaded up the dishwasher again and ran it, and it still wasn’t working. So, we called them back. They got in touch with the same guy. The guy called them back. He was like, “Oh, well, if it's not working, then I can't do anything. I'm going out of town for my daughter's wedding. Have them rerouted to somebody else.”
So, we have been rerouted to Sears. They sent one person out who looked at it. He ordered the part and was like, “Well, more than likely, it's not going to be fixed because that part may not be available.” They called us back saying, “Oh, the part is available.” Then nothing happened for 10 days. We have four kids, two little ones that drink from bottles so we need a dishwasher, and we're dealing with it. We keep telling them, “Hey, we need someone to work on this.” 10 days went by. Nobody called us. We finally got someone to call us and say, “They called. We're so sorry, but the part just arrived. And we're scheduling you for someone to come out.” They scheduled for someone to come out.
The person that came out did not know what he was doing. He installed the part and it was still not working. He was on the phone with someone else. He was like, “There is nothing more we can do. We need to replace this. This unit is not fixable. We need to replace it.” So, now, we waited a week. There was nothing from American Home Shield. They were like, “Oh, we’re still reviewing our files. We're reviewing our files. We'll get back to you.” Finally, somebody got back to me saying, “Okay. Yes. We reviewed our files. We sent it up for approval. But yeah, you guys can go ahead and find a replacement. And we'll reimburse you up to approved amount.” We were like, “Okay. Fine.”
We need a dishwasher, so we went out and purchased one. We're waiting for American Home Shield and there was nothing. The dishwasher that we purchased, it even took them three weeks to install it, and there was nothing from American Home Shield in those three weeks. The day that the dishwasher got installed and they hauled away our old dishwasher, American Home Shield then called and was like, “We figured out what the problem is. We don't need to replace it. We can fix it. Can you please have these guys come out?” I was like, “But there is no more old dishwasher. Someone told us that we can go ahead and replace it. And we replaced it.”
Now, the dishwasher is gone. I am not getting reimbursed for it, and they told me that it's my fault. Also, they increased my monthly. So, when I first bought the house, I was paying $70 a month. Now, they're charging me $100 a month. Now, I'm paying $1,200 a year, and I did not get my situation resolved from them. So, I am not a happy camper about American Home Shield.

The first company that was given by AHS for our claim rated really low. We had started on a Monday. It had gone out over the weekend. It was a little bit interesting in that we had to wait after they had given us the first name. I questioned about that one. It was after 48 hours, then I could request a different one or a different one would be appointed. We were away from our home for a couple of days and got a notification and the name had been given to us. Buckhannon's HVAC was the second company. So, I had called them and set it up.
We talked to them on a Friday and they were able to come out on a Monday. Very nice. It was the blower motor fan and they had to order it directly from the factory, so they told us that it would be two to three weeks. It got here in about a couple of weeks and they came out and put it in. I would use Buckhannon's again whether I had a warranty or not. I was very happy with them. They tried to get to us as soon as they could. They were honest in telling me that they had other customers that had been waiting and the parts just weren't available yet for them. So, at least they were upfront.

We had a leak under the sink that was leaking into behind our dishwasher and into all the wood and presumably down through the wall and into the basement. The All Drains guys were absolutely awesome. We had gotten a quote previously from another local plumber when we first discovered the issue and it was astronomical. But the guy that I spoke to at All Drains was pretty upfront about that, and how much it really should have cost, even if they were going to do the work that the other plumbers said that they needed to do, which he said was very unnecessary. The price that they quoted me was more than double what he would have charged me for it. All Drains fixed it within an hour and a half. They were quick.
Everything went as well as we would have expected. The only thing my wife had to say was the first contractor that was assigned to the job is a well-known bad business around here. They have a lot of bad reviews, and they're not looked at very well by the Better Business Bureau either. So she jumped on that pretty quickly to get that change. But she didn't have any problems changing it. So everything went as smoothly as I would have ever expected.

The toilet's water pressure was low, and it wouldn't flush properly. It kept happening over and over again. I plunged it a couple of times, and it seemed to go down. But then it wasn't successful after a couple of days. So, I contacted American Home Shield and T Mayes came out. The guy was here for about eight minutes. He flushed and he said, “The line is clear, but I’m gonna snake it anyway. If you had any problems, call us back. You got a warranty of 60 days, and I’ll be happy to get myself or somebody to come out and look at it again.” It started happening again. But then, I got a notice on the condo association saying that there was a problem with the sewer, and Baltimore County was coming out to snake the line. So, I said if I had to wait another week, I could’ve saved my money. It was something in the community and not necessarily just my toilet.
I scheduled a second appointment, but I cancelled it before they could come out. Still, they were willing and available. So, I was very pleased with that. Overall, I’ve been pleased with American Home Shield. It's been pretty simple to request service. I never really had my policy number with me. I just give my name, my phone number, and they can process it. The turnaround time is absolutely quick. They either text me or call me.

Sears came out last week and fixed a part but it didn't fix the issue. A guy came back out today and he's someone we've seen before. He's super nice. He said that the part wasn't the problem and he fixed the problem. This last time was pretty good. We didn't need to use American Home Shield the first couple years we had it, but recently, we've had to use it more for the first time. The first couple times I've had to call, I had a really hard time with understanding what the people were saying. They didn't speak very clear English, and I feel bad saying that to them, so I kept acting like it was my phone and I didn't have a good connection. They got rude and annoyed with me because I couldn't understand. That'd be the only thing that is a little frustrating.

American Home Shield followed up and the guys came on time when they say they would. So, it's good service. When the igniter went out, the contractor already had the part. It would cost us more to get our igniter. The part would have been an easy 400 for the item we needed it for. So, having AHS is convenient.

My refrigerator stopped working. I had the contractor to come out. When I told the guy about the icemaker too, he said that I needed a plumber. I've been calling American Home Shield, trying to get the plumber out to fix my icemaker, but the phone keeps hanging up. They haven't called me back. They haven't told me anything about the service. So I’m not too happy with them now. I'd like the contractor to get back with me on the next process.

My air conditioner had shut off. I got ahold of my American Home Shield via their online. They sent me an email almost immediately that said that they were gonna have a company contact me. Then that company sent me an email that said that they would have the tech calling me the night before to set up a window, which he did. I'm an AC&R technician myself, so I knew what the problem was. Whenever he contacted me for the window, I just told him what he needed to bring and have on the truck. That way, he didn't have to make a second trip. He was more than happy to bring the stuff. When he got there, he went through and troubleshot it and found the exact same thing as I did, replaced the equipment that I figured that he'd be replacing. Everything's working great.

We had a leaking faucet and the contracted company provided great service. But the service before that was horrible. The claim had to do with my sewer septic line. It was backed up and I needed to see what was going on with that. I called the contractor and they didn't contact me. I never got a call back within the timeframe that I was told. It was a few days and by that time I called someone else, had them come out, and do the service. I also had this one heating AC person years ago at another property that I didn't care for.
I have used American Home Shield over the years. The service I got was good for the most part and I have told several people about them. There is only one thing that bothers me at this point. I had two properties and I got a discount. I don't have one of the properties anymore. The price for the home warranty has gone up and no matter how often you use it, it keeps going up a lot. It would be better for a customer of many years to have better rates or incentives. So, I've looked at other home warranty companies in the past and I tried to re-evaluate what other companies have to offer. I still have American Home Shield's service and I appreciate the contractors who come out on time, respond in a timely manner, and take care of my issue. But I don't like the rising monthly premiums.

The tech from BA Distributing LLC came out for my dishwasher door that wasn't closing and my icemaker that wasn't making any ice. He replaced my icemaker and he repaired the door on my dishwasher. It went really well. The repair guy complimented me on giving the serial numbers and the model number of the appliances because it helped him when he got here to make sure that he had replacement parts on the claims that I was inquiring about. The benefit of having AHS is good. The only thing that’s a disadvantage to me is the copay. I had to pay $100 or so upfront prior to the repair guy coming out and with me paying monthly for the insurance, I assumed that it should have been covered. But other than that, I'm satisfied with it.

I'm mediumly satisfied with AHS. Their phone technicians answer 24/7 and they really listen. I had to have a hole cut in my ceiling due to a leak and the tech came to repair the drywall. I had a replacement light and they gave me the most basic model. The cover that goes over the light cracked before they even could get it on. Then, I had to wait another two weeks to get it. We also get to give feedback on the techs after each time they come out, so I know that AHS is weeding through them. So far, there's only been one that I haven't liked. It's just that the constraints of the warranty had prevented me from getting the highest quality replacement. I would have loved to have known that I wouldn't have been replaced with a similar item upfront or that the ceiling repair wouldn't have included paint. If I had know that in advance, I might have just gone ahead and contracted on my own for those things.

We opened the ticket, then we waited for someone to show up and call us from a contractor, but nobody called. We had to call the insurance, then they called the contractor who told them that they would call us. Finally, I received a call from the contractor to schedule. He came, then we said, "This issue happened before multiple times, so hope it gets fixed this time or you will be able to resolve it, and it won't happen again." He went back and reported that we didn't want the machine to be fixed.
I called back. The insurance said that "The claim has been closed because you don't want the machine to be fixed. You want money for the repair." I said, "I never said we want money for the repair. We want the machine to be fixed. We just told the guy that we hope this thing does not come back after fixing. We have fixed so many times before to insurance and hope this doesn't happen again." They said, "Oh, sorry for misunderstanding. We'll reopen the ticket." They opened a ticket with another contractor, who then we had to follow up. We had to make at least three calls and finally, the guy came and said they had to order a part. They ordered it, and then it sat with us. Nobody called us and we called again, said we have a part, they said, "Okay, we'll schedule something." They did, but the guy never showed up.
We called back and they said the guy was sick so they would reschedule. So, my last ticket I had for the hood took six months to resolve. It's not an easy process with this insurance company. Lack of proactiveness there. Just opening a ticket and then sitting on it does not help the customer until the issue is resolved. That's where the management comes in.
Some of the contractors say, "Give me a week, and we'll order a part. We know what the issue is" via their experience. Some, they come, look at the model then say they cannot fix it and have to order a part. That also required a follow-up. They said we need a part, so after a week or two I had to call the insurance to find out what was the status, what had the contractor or insurance bought. Then, they would say, "Oh, the part was ordered, you have to wait." and then it took one week for the part to arrive. We had to call the contractor back to tell them that we have received the part.
Express was a bit better because they at least had the text update. You could text the technician and talk to them. But some of the previous contractors we had were horrible. The one who worked on the hood, we had to chase a lot. American Home Shield is needed, but the quality is not there. If they open a ticket, follow-up to make sure the contractor has reached and went to the customer or not. Stay on top of it. If you see that contractor has not reached out, there should be some follow-up to know that the customer is getting taken care of or not, instead of the customer calling, trying to find out the scheduling and appointments.
Also, I told the lady my cost went up on the insurance policy. They said the cost has increased from last year. I said, "So, okay, so the cost has increased but some of the service has not improved." I'm not seeing good service, so it doesn't justify. She said, "Yeah, the cost has increased. What can we do?" I never received any call for any kind of paperwork in the mail. My American Express charges went from $70 to $80 a month. And I said, "Why? What happened?" They told me that the cost has increased from July. I said, "Nobody told me about that."
I apologize for the inconvenience. My name is Stacy & I will email you shortly to obtain more information about your experience & assist with unresolved issues. I look forward to speaking with you.

We had some outlets that weren't working, and it turned out they were daisy chained off of an EMI switch. So, we ended up locating it and getting the circuit back working. The techs were here for about 30 minutes, but it took maybe a week to get it scheduled and to have them come out. They were super nice. Having American Home Shield is good if it's a major issue. If something more major would have happened, that would have had some coverage.

My AC unit wasn't turning on. I tried to call the first company and I couldn't get a hold of them at all. American Home Shield was super helpful with that situation. They tried to get a hold of the company and they couldn't either. The girl who helped me was like, Okay, well, since we're not able to get ahold of them, we're gonna give it a couple of hours and see if they call us back, or if they call you back, or if we can get ahold of them. And if not, then we'll move it to a different company.” So they move it to a different company and I heard from that guy the same day. He told me they wouldn't be able to make it out until a Thursday and at that point, it was a Tuesday. But then he ended up calling me a little later that day and was like, “Hey, I had a cancellation. I could come out to your house today, if that's all right.”
It was an electronic issue but the guy who came talked us through it a little bit just to explain why it wasn't working right which I greatly appreciated. He told me to let him know if we had any issues with the AC after we got the electric fixed, and he would come back out if he needed to. And then we were able to get that issue fixed on our own because my dad does some electronic work for his actual job. So he was able to help me out with that. Once we fixed that issue, everything else worked just fine.

AHS had always come through for me when I need it. Both of my refrigerators had issues. One of them had a leak, and a gentleman came out and fixed it. Then the other one, the ice maker was broken. I was getting the ice maker completely fixed on September 3rd. They called today to tell me that the part came in. I like AA Dependable Appliance Service. Then with my appliances, I get the same gentleman. It's good when you see the same person over and over again instead of seeing different people. I really do enjoy working with them.
The beneficial part about having AHS is you pay monthly, and if anything happens, you only pay $100 deductible. If it's fixable, they'll fix it. If it's not, they'll put in a request for you to get either the same product or something different. I also like their submission process. I like to speak to an agent when I do my request for services. I really don't trust the computer too much. So I'd rather call and speak to an agent and get everything done over the phone with the agent, and then go from there.

But I signed some papers and they said that American Home Shield would give me a receipt and I don't have a receipt.

American Home Shield's website seems to work pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised. When I submitted the request for service, they came back with who was coming out, and that they’d be contacting me. The tech was prompt and responsive. He came in a couple of times and answered calls, so it was a good experience. I would recommend AHS. It's a good investment. It's a good guard against something going wrong.

August 2, 2021 my HVAC broke. 20 days later the compressor came in. It was the wrong one. On 8/23/2021 I was charged $520 for refrigerant which did not fix the problem. The contractor stated he would let AHS to reorder the correct part. On 8/24,25,26 and 27th I attempted to reach the escalation department. I was on hole each time and again each time I was told no one was available to help. The staff were rude and uncaring, each day I was told someone would call me back. I have been out of pocket $970 in window units. My dog died of heat stroke. As of 8/27/2021 I have filed a lawsuit. Take my advice and do not use American Home Shield.

On a Sunday I woke up to water pouring out of broken pipe next to water heater. I was able to turn off water. I contacted AHS who agreed was an emergency, did try & contact first company assigned but they could not reach anyone. Told me someone from "Expediate Team" would call in 4 hours. Of course they did not. I had to find my own plumber as was unable to even flush toilet. I called 5 days in a row, spoke to 5 different people overseas who promised a supervisor would call in 4 hours and each time was a lie. I tried reaching out on Twitter, got someone again not US based who did not seem to understand my issues. I looked up corporate office in TN but phone numbers listed go overseas as well. I am going to look for company that is actually US based & hopefully does not train its employees to outright lie.

Would have given 0 stars if it would have let me. Our air conditioner broke and we paid the $100 for AHS to send a contractor. The contractor came and said we needed a new compressor. It took over 2 weeks for AHS to approve and order the part. When the contractor went to pick up the part AHS hadn't paid for it so they couldn't pick it up. We went back and forth with AHS for 2 more weeks and nobody would return our calls. Finally, after 4 weeks without air, we paid out of pocket for a new unit. When we called to cancel our contract with AHS they wouldn't refund us our $100 or any of our premiums and the woman refused to let me speak with anyone higher up, she said that nobody else would be able to help me. She also said that she couldn't guarantee that we wouldn't be penalized for cancelling our contract.

I've been very pleased with American Home Shield. I've used them several times over the past couple of years. I had a hot water line leak from my hot water heater inside my laundry room, and they came and repaired the leak on the pipe. The claims process went very well. It was a smooth and seamless process. The technicians have been great. Most of my issues have been plumbing issues, and we have used Drain GO Plumbing, and they've been excellent. The biggest benefit to having the warranty has been the peace of mind in knowing that I have the protection.

When I first submitted my claim for my dryer with AHS, it took about two weeks for the first tech to come. Then, it took about a week before they came back with a part, but that didn't fix it. So, then it was another 10 days, and they came back with another part, and that didn't fix it still. At that point, I contacted AHS again. They sent out Angel Appliances Repair. Angel came, looked at it and came back in a week and repaired it, and then it worked. They were awesome. But calling the American Home Shield number was frustrating. They were not really helpful. I explained my problem and they just seemed rather disinterested. A couple of the people were very hard to communicate with as well.
Also, my understanding was after six weeks of all of this going on that, I thought that they would replace the dryer after I had waited so long and had two different repair people here for the first company. Then, they put three parts in and none of them worked. None of them made the dryer work. So, I felt like their policy of replacing something that couldn't be fixed should have been honored at that point. It was repaired after all that time and it is working right now. But that was no benefit to me. I was, all that time, without a dryer.

The front door of the oven broke. The tech was a lot faster this time to come out and it only took a couple of days. It's just that oven can't be repaired and so we have a new one coming tomorrow.

I had to get a mitigation involved and what had to be done was to dry out everything and that didn't work out. So, the repair guy from Merrill Building took so long to come out and repair the holes in the wall. He was patient and I kept informing him what was going on. I also had claim with American Home Shield for a leak and the first time the plumbing people came out, they said it was an air conditioning issue. So, I had to wait five days later for the air conditioning people to come out. When the air conditioning people came out, they kept saying it was a plumbing issue. So it took five times for the plumbing people to fix the issue. This one made me want to cancel American Home Shield because with a situation like this, they wait 48 hours to come out and repair instead of doing it within the next day. A lot of other things has been damaged in your house by the time they come out. Then when they come out, they give you the run around. It's a mess.
The tech could've come out and see if it's an air conditioner leak before they told me to cut my air conditioner off. It was 103 degrees and I had to do that for four days, and it wasn't even an air conditioner issue. I had another issue with my bathroom and I called on Thursday but the repair guy couldn't come out till Monday. So, I had to go a whole week without using my bathroom. I understand this is the pandemic but if AHS wants to keep people in their program, they need to do better and be more consistent with their work.

We have one of those touchscreen thermostats which would not come on, and the air was not running at all. Our pan was full of water. When the repair people came out, they explained that the thermostat automatically kicks off because they have a sensor in the pan. So, as soon as there's water in it, it automatically kicks off the thermostat and turns the system off. I think the line was clogged up, too, because it's in a room that we don't use very often. Once they cleared the line, everything was up and running. It was a pretty easy fix, so that was good.
The repair people were great. There were two of them and they were so nice and helpful. They gave me some tips on how to keep the line from clogging up again in the future, which was great. We've used AHS a lot for little things. We've had some drippy faucets and some AC issues.

When there was some leak under the sink, the owner of the repair company came out and did a really good job right in the beginning. The person that did the work had a few more challenges but it got fixed. At the beginning of the summer, we put in a claim for an oven door and that was horrendously bad. The first party came out, looked at it, and left us high and dry. I had to talk to American Home Shield 10 times and my calls were going some place where I couldn't understand the person. I was trying to explain to them that even though the report said microwave, it wasn't the microwave. It was the oven glass door. The inside of the oven glass door shattered.
The first guy that came out said the oven’s too old and they couldn't do anything about it. They don't have parts anymore. He said they'd get us a new one and get it taken care of. We waited and waited, and I called and called. Finally, after three weeks, someone at American Home Shield, said, “The only way we can solve this is to cancel this whole thing, give you your $100 and send out somebody new.” They sent out someone new from another company that had fixed our refrigerator. That guy was a dream. He did the work on time and had the part. He knows appliances so well. He is a very valuable technician to American Home Shield. He is perfect.

The refrigerator went out and we had four different technicians that came out. The first one said it was the fan and he didn't specialize for that in LGs so American Home Shield asked for someone else. The next day, we had another one that stated it was the compressor. He didn't have one on them, and he would consider it as a loss because it's an expensive part. Then, someone else came out and confirmed that it was the compressor.
We also had another guy come out and confirmed it was a compressor. It just so happen that he specializes in LG. His company had a compressor on hand with them so he said he was gonna submit the order American Home Shield and if they approve it, then he'd come the next day and install it. He spoke with someone saying that the compressor was really expensive. They were gonna just pay it out. But he said that they don't have the cheap one and so the AHS rep said if he could fix it, then just go ahead. The next day, the compressor was installed in less than half an hour. It's been working great since.
American Home Shield was on task. Every single day someone from them or from the repair guys would be calling to check if anyone else came out for a second opinion or third opinion. We've been speaking to our neighbors that they should get this warranty because this really helps us no matter what.

I recommend AHS to everybody. Our experience hasn't always been great, but it usually has. My wife and I had to get a house for our daughter. She had gone through a divorce and it was COVID time. So, there could be no home inspections when we bought the house. We put American Home Shield on it for two years. Within a couple of weeks of her moving in, she had to have an electrical panel completely replaced. Then, she also had to have a water heater replaced. It went as smooth as could be both times with American Home Shield. So, that was really good. She had been going through a lot of difficulties with the divorce, so it was nice that that worked so smoothly.
On July 18th, we had a water heater break in my house and it's been a disaster as far as the house goes. But American Home Shield came right through. They had a person come out and checked it over. It qualified for a replacement. So all that went through smoothly there. Just the rest of it hasn't gone through smoothly. My wife and I are still in a hotel and probably will be until January. They have to rip out a bunch of floors.
However, three years ago, I had a guy come out to check my furnace. He said, “We're going to be needing to replace this at some point, probably. I gotta change all these bleeder valves.” He said he was gonna order new ones. He checked. I was qualified and I paid my $75 deductible. But I never saw him after that. He called me one time, a few weeks later and said, “I got your parts.” He called me at 8:15 and said, “I'll be there at your house in about 10 minutes.” I said, “No, my wife's at school, teaching and I'm just going out the door to head to an appointment out of town.” He said, “Just leave your house unlocked.” I said, “No, that's not gonna be the case. Just call me to reschedule.” Never heard from him again. So, in that case there, I paid for service and never got it.
But I was surprised that at that point, American Home Shield never followed up with me to see how it went. I let them know a couple of times that person never came back, but never heard anything, still. But they came through for me this time. My son also used them at his house that he bought a couple years ago up in Erie and he had a furnace problem and they took care of it.

On the air conditioner, the person who was here, tried something outside, on the condenser and he tried something inside, in the HVAC system. He eventually concluded that he wasn't sure exactly what the problem was. But there were a lot of places where the wire had been put together, wire knots, which was not after the market, but he retightened some of those. After he did some of those things like that, it started working.
He told me, “In 30 days if it's still not working, let us know. Because it'd still be under the same claim number.” But right now, it's been working and it's been two weeks ago. He also said, “I'll have to order a new circuit board or circuit panel. It'll probably take about two weeks because of COVID.

We're not using American Home Shield's replacement system because it doesn't have anything that's suitable for our needs. I had to call them to get the claim re-evaluated because we have a custom front-panel dishwasher and they only put in for a regular dishwasher.

But they still didn't put in any recommended replacements that they could do that would satisfy the requirements that we have. So I'm having to buy one myself, and I'm doing payment in lieu of them doing it. I'll get the dishwasher purchased and installed, get the warranty, and then send the paperwork in so I can be reimbursed. It's more work.

American Home Shield's online portal is really easy to use. I was able to go in there and report some issues around my house pretty easily. I liked that they lump everything together so you only have to pay your service fee one time per category. Then I was contacted by the service center that they assigned to my issues very quickly. The guy who came out was really good at what he did. He came in and pulled appliances apart in a way that I didn't even know you could do that. I thought he was gonna get electrocuted the whole time. Also, he was the sweetest kind of guy. He was very quiet and did his thing. He came out a few times. He worked really hard trying to solve my issues.
He couldn't figure out the issues so he ended up telling American Home Shield that I needed new appliances. I thought they were going to try to give me a $500 Walmart appliance that was going to break after three uses. But they actually gave me a really comfortable amount to spend on replacements. It was very fair. The ordering process for new appliances was great. When I called customer service and talked to them a few times about my options and how to get the stuff ordered, it was pretty much the nicest customer service. With most companies, customer service goes to another country, and sometimes, it's difficult to understand each other. But American Home Shield sends us somewhere in the Midwest, and it's the nicest customer service people I've ever dealt with. I live in a pretty remote area and American Home Shield was the only choice here. But I’m very happy with them. They're doing a great job.

The drains were stopping up and draining extremely slow in two of my restrooms. I got a technician out quickly for the claim. He was very friendly, informative and he was finished fast. Having my American Home Shield warranty, I save some money and I can have basic everyday repairs to items such as the plumbing, the sink and the drainage system. It's definitely a huge benefit for a homeowner to have someone be able to come out just based off of the deductible.

SeaBreez did great with my most recent claim. They did what they needed to do and fixed the part and that seemed to fix the issue. But I hate American Home Shield with passion. I feel like they exploit their client. They have so much fine print and red tape that they don't tell you about and they act like they're on your side but they hardly cover anything. They're extremely limited on what they help with. I would rather use anyone but them in the future.

I put in an order for my air conditioner and they sent me a contractor who gave me a quote of 3800 that I have to pay out of pocket. They said that the compressor went out so I called another company to come out and see if that was what they were saying it was, and it was not. My compressor was fine. The AC was leaking oil so it was not even the compressor. It was something else that was not going to cost that much so I never talked to them again.
American Home Shield haven't called me back. I tried getting ahold of them and there was no answer. I wish they would communicate and let me know what's going on. The machine says to call the person that came down to do my air conditioner but they lied to me and I don't even know if I want to do business with them anymore. I wanted to tell somebody that these people are frauds and they're making up stuff. These young kids didn't know what they were doing. With this last order that I put in, I'm not happy with it at all. AHS should cover some of this cost and not dump it on me. But I never had problems with any other claims. Lake Plumbing was great.

I wished I would have read reviews before I purchased a contract. I read other people reviews on different sites and I'm going through the same problems. I been with them over a year and now I need my Air conditioning fix and they keep saying the same thing, it is not covered when my contract says otherwise and if you google my plan it says what I need done is covered. I called them over 8 times and the agents are all reading from the same script just to lead you on. If you call all the different phone numbers on the internet listed for them it is all directed to 1 phone. Those reviews are not real. I just filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. They responded to me and they forward my information telling them they have 14 days to respond. They are a true scam. This is so unfair.

The AC unit was running but it wasn't cooling the house. So, I put in a call to American Home Shield for service, and JFrank came out and changed the capacitor, and it was back to functioning again. I've used the service quite a bit. We've had AHS for about a year and a half and I've had some good experiences and some difficult experiences. One of them was especially related to our plumbing. Our plumbing was stopped up and ready to flood, and we couldn't use our toilets, and we kept getting a runaround. They couldn't find a contractor to assign to us because it was a weekend, and they kept putting us off. They kept telling me, “Well, you have to wait 24 to 48 hours.” It was like, “I'm sorry, I can't wait 24 to 48 hours to use the toilet.” But that was the worst experience I had. I had to call that 800 number at least a dozen times to finally get a response and get them to allow me to go out and get my own contractor.
I called in for service yesterday on something that just happened on my dishwasher. I was quite aggravated that they were wanting to force me to do a video diagnosis. I didn't agree to that when I signed my contract or when I upped my contract. The woman on the line kept pushing, “Well, this would be faster.” It was like, “No, it's more work for me.” Diagnosis is why I pay for the American Home Shield. I don't want to stand there holding a camera and going through this process. That's what I'm paying them for. So, I'm not going to do video diagnosis. That to me is just the company trying to cut corners and save money. I want a technician to come out and do the diagnosis.
What was aggravating is in all the literature that's come out about this in the emails and stuff that I've seen, it says that this is an option. What I didn't appreciate is that it was treated like it wasn't an option, and I had to fight with her to get her to just send out a technician. I shouldn't have to fight with something that's optional.
We spent a lot of time researching warranties. We looked at about five different home warranty companies and of all of those, we've found that American Home Shield seem to have the best coverage. And so far, I have been pleased with the coverage and that there hasn't been anything that they've refused to cover. If I was talking to somebody who was going to buy it, it’s like, “Okay, find out if they’ll let you upgrade to different plans.” One of the things that I was told was that they were coming out with an upgrade plan where you could get better coverages on things. If I was a new customer, I could get that. But they wouldn't allow me as an existing customer to get that plan without a 30-day no service period.
So, I would warn folks that when they're signing up for these home warranties that unless they're doing it at the time of a purchase of a home, they're going to take the responsibility for anything that happens in the first 30 days. The warranty is not going to cover it. Personally, if I didn't get this warranty when I was buying my house and the coverage was starting on the day I moved in, I wouldn't buy it. I'm not going to pay for a coverage after I had been there for 30 days and all the problems have happened. I don't like that part of the policy. You're paying them premium, so they should be willing to cover you from the day you start paying the premium.

The difficulty I had with this claim was calling in and getting the person to dispatch the plumber. It seemed like she was trying to make it so the claim wasn't covered. It took a long time. She was not understanding me. We had difficulty understanding each other's language. It got very complicated.
As cumbersome as it may be, in places like American Home Shield, you need to read the contract. It's a legal document. If you don't know anything about certain issues within your home, which most people don't, they make you become a professional in it. Because they look for any way to disqualify you from coverage. So you have to really know how to read every bit of the contract before you decide to go with them.

We had a leak and there was water under the AC unit. The first that the tech came, he said he had to go back and give his findings to the office, and he came back a second day and taped up the leak. He said it wasn't insulated properly and he had to wrap the coils with some silver tape. Then he had to go inside with the insulation and tape it to keep it from leaking. The previous contractor that came out for the AC should have insulated the inside and the tubes there in the ceiling that he had to re-tape. He also said he hopes it holds because if it freezes up, it may cause some condensation. So it's a wait-and-see type deal.
Last year, I had to call American Home Shield for our AC unit and another guy came out and he took a blowtorch and put it against the coils. He found a couple holes that he patched up. That helped a lot because they kept the upstairs a little cooler because it will be 79 upstairs and the AC unit is on 72. He said we needed a whole new system, and then he was giving a quote about what they could do. But we couldn't take that cost. So he did the best he could for what he was allowed to do. We were told the previous year that the problem was the coils so we had to purchase brand new coils and it cost us about $1,400 out of pocket. Everything that AHS does is really good, but when it comes to AC units, it's patch-up job.

In the last two weeks, I had a small claim that was dealt with very quickly. I had an issue with my air conditioning. I told the young lady at American Home Shield that I'm 76 years old and diabetic and she had somebody assigned for the next morning. That is not typically the way it works but they are being responsive if the customers tell them that there is a medical issue or an age issue, particularly with HVAC. I was really proud of everybody on that last claim.
I've been a customer for a very long time and prices continue to increase. I had a claim with a stovetop a year or so ago and American Home Shield said it was customer neglect. It was very obvious that the appliance kind of died from the inside out, not from being hit. So I demanded to have a second opinion and the tech said it needed to be replaced. It should have been replaced the first time I called and was declined. The next time, I got a little more aggressive. So they resolved that issue. But the biggest thing is that the amount of money that they are collecting is pretty intense for today's market.
If you think about AHS as a savings account, you're more prone to be a little happier with the service. Because you're really paying them for an insurance policy when something goes wrong and it's all built upon the actuarial charts to the company's advantage. Because they get to use your money most of the time for a very long time. If you do the same thing at a bank in a savings account that you're not touching, you could probably come out better. But that still doesn't give you instant access to a variety of vendors that do the actual service.

When the guy came out here, he said it's hard for them to distinguish what is actually wrong with the refrigerator by the selections that you make when you check a box on the American Home Shield screen. I told my wife, "Well, the only box there, it says refrigerator/icemaker." You can't distinguish between the water or the icemaker or just the fridge. Maybe it would be good to have an additional selection there on the menu to single out what the actual problem is or a location where you can explain what the actual issue is and add a note to the service you’re gonna request.

Every time I call to file a claim with American Home Shield, I would get passed to another agent because it would be something outside of the scope of the first one. Then, I would have to repeat my full name, property address, email address, and telephone number. After the second time, that got kind of annoying. But when the contractors come out for service, it's been very good. Most of our interactions with American Home Shield have been with appliances and Star Services come out for those. I showed them where the appliance is and they did the troubleshooting. Then, they told me what they thought it was and what their recommendation to American Home Shield would be.
I had an experience with American Home Shield in a different city in 2008 and it was way highly unsatisfactory. Now, they're more willing to live up to their contract. I had an appliance replaced where I utilized the American Home Shield buying power. I paid the difference to what I wanted it to be and that worked out very well. Another time, I took the cash payment and then replaced what was there with the exact same model with an additional $200 or $300 of my own money, whereas American Home Shield wouldn't match the aesthetics. They found a like capacity but they wouldn't match the brand name but that was okay.

Something happened to the circuits and the lights of my refrigerator. You couldn't stand to open the refrigerator because it was like a strobe light that was blinding. I did a claim online and I got quick action. A tech diagnosed the situation, ordered the parts, and said they would be delivered directly here. By the time the parts were delivered, it was approximately a week and a half before the tech came back to actually install the new light.
When I first signed up with American Home Shield 25 years ago, they were the only home warranty company that I had ever heard of. It was suggested by our real estate agent because we purchased a much older farmhouse and the appliances were old. When we lived on a farm and we were in a very rural area, there were times that I had difficulty with American Home Shield finding someone that would come out of Richmond or out of Fredericksburg. When we had those issues, American Home Shield would give me the authority to find someone on my own and they would either reimburse me or the contractor would agree to bill them. Through those times, it wasn't really difficult but it just took longer. Here at my new home, I have no difficulty with submitting my request. We've been here for six years. I've had to call American Home Shield a few times and had no problem.
I referred business to American Home Shield and my daughter was one of them. She's had some problems. Right now, she's trying to cancel her contract and for some reason, it's been very difficult for her to do that because American Home Shield keeps wanting payment and she keeps telling them she's not gonna pay. She was threatened the last time with being turned over to a collections agency. I told my daughter that was unusual. In all these years, I've never had any real rudeness. Everybody has been polite and understanding. I have never had anyone argue with me about anything when I had to call American Home Shield. She must be getting people that were just rude. On the whole, I would still recommend American Home Shield.

GM Appliance Repair came out for the dryer and fixed it. I used it two days and the next day, it broke again. They came back out and said that the part they replaced underneath it broke so they had to order a part. I had to call and ask them when the part was gonna come in. They called me back and made an appointment to come and finish fixing it. Then they were gonna keep the ticket open because when they finished fixing it the second time, the washing machine wouldn't work. It would just start on the spin cycle and cut off. I couldn't understand that so I called and said it broke again. He just laughed and said it was working. But I kept trying, and it was like it had to catch up with what they did, and it started working. The only thing that I don't like with Home Shield is when they replace something that I already paid money for, they give a cheaper kind.

You need to figure out who the contractors are and research them carefully before using them and go through American Home Shield's list of contractors.

We had a drain line leak under our kitchen sink. The bathroom sink also leaked. Then, when we turned the shower on, the spigot leaked when the showerhead was running. Nussbaumer Plumbing came first and that was not a good experience. The plumber replaced the washer on the drain line under the kitchen sink and that fixed that problem. He went to the bathroom and said that the access panel for the shower needed a new diverter. Now, we have an access panel inside of the linen closet. He said it did not reach up high enough and so he would charge $500 to $800 for us out of pocket to cut a hole in the drywall to get to where he needed to be.
Then he said that the faucet in the bathroom is older. AHS would either replace the whole thing or give him parts to use and those parts would be generic-y and plasticky and yucky. In his opinion, if my husband and I would go out and buy a sink, that would be much better for him to do the work, and he would just do that. It was really difficult to distill from our conversation while he was here what was covered and what wasn't. I was so confused and I didn't know what to do. I’m reading my contract and it says one thing, while he’s telling me another. I reached out to AHS and they were saying that it was not the plumber’s business to tell me that while he was at the house. His job is to come, diagnose what needs done, write up an estimate, send it to AHS, and AHS will let me and the plumber know what's covered. In reading my contract, the access was covered up to $1,000 and then returning back to a drywall finish.
The company was supposed to call me back, write up an eligible estimate that I could look over with my husband, and pass on to AHS. This went on for a week and a half back and forth, and the phone calls. I decided to call AHS back on my own and talk to the representatives and see what's happening. They said that Nussbaumer called and told them that I created access to the shower, broke open my own drywall, and then broke my plumbing, so they would not cover any of those. It was a circular argument. I was frustrated and I was telling the lady that I certainly didn't do that. She was like, “Are you calling them a liar?” I was like, “Well, I guess.” She then said that I would have to get a second opinion. I asked if I have to pay another deductible and she said she didn't know. It was terrible and I was so angry.
Then I reached to Nussbaumer back after I had that conversation. There were three people there that I talked to, Erica. Briana, and then Jordan, the technician. Briana wasn't able to help me with any technical questions that I had, but Erica was. When I called back, I asked for Erica. I also asked when did they review the estimate and I let them know what was happening about us ripping our walls apart. The lady wasn't easy to talk to and so I told her to have Erica call me back as she's familiar with what's going on. She put me on hold for 15 minutes and then she got back to me saying Erica's with another customer and she’d call me back and I was fine with that.
An hour or so later, Jordan, the plumber, called me back saying he waited so long to call me back. He just got off the phone with his boss who was furious about what the warranty company told me that they said. He said he was totally wrong about the diverter in my shower. It doesn't just need that one part. His boss told him that that piece is a one-piece apparatus and can't just switch out a diverter or a valve, and AHS won't cover that. I just thanked him for telling me that.
At this point I knew I have to get an estimate from Nussbaumer for Greg and Andrew from the warranty company to really understand how they're treating AHS customers, what they're telling people is out of pocket versus covered, like something unethical is going on. I also talked to my dad on the phone about all this drama. He looked the company up on Yelp and told me to read their reviews. When I read it, half of that stuff came out of Jordan’s mouth to me with all the bait and switch with the pricing. Everything that people complained about happened to me. I called my dad back and he said that I should not let them back in my home.
Yesterday, Resolve Services LLC came out for a second opinion. They got their tools out and started to work. Two hours later, they said they needed to get the older parts replaced, and they were not sure they would find them right away but they would shop for them until they find them for me. I wrote down some places for them to try and they left. They first went to Etna and they went to Oakmont then they came back. They found what they needed at a place in Oakmont and replaced everything with parts. Everything was fixed. They didn't have to create access. They said everything was covered by the warranty too. They did a great job. It's all working.

One where it was filling and filling, and not starting the cycle, and another where it was filling and then completely drained. It was making a weird sound, and it wasn't even starting. So I had no idea what was wrong with it.

I have faithfully paid my premiums (approximately $45 per month, each property) on three different properties for several years, plus have recommended AHS home warranties to many of my real estate clients in the past (sorry about that!!!). I have had one somewhat successful (at least for a while) service call on one of the properties--minor repair to the water heater that lasted for a few more months. I've since replaced it at my own expense.
The only other service I've asked for has been on the AC at my rental house. My poor tenants put up with the unit (heat pump) malfunctioning in the winter--had a service call (paid $75) in December, and he did not fix it. Weather warmed up so tenants didn't complain. Same unit (AC portion) malfunctioning during major heat wave (100 deg.+) the following May. They couldn't get the house cooler than 87-90 deg. I called and was put off three times (rescheduled or canceled) by the horrible one-and-only AC company (Lam-Air) that AHS contracts (colludes) within this area.
When Tech finally did show up in June, he told us that the unit really needed to be replaced since the compressor was burned out, among other problems, but rolled his eyes when I asked if he would report that diagnosis to AHS. So, the unit was never fixed, and I was strung along and ignored for some while, making multiple phone calls to AHS and Lam-Air, waiting for replies, and getting absolutely nowhere. My claim was finally (sometime early August) turned over to their Media person in their Escalation Department, whatever that is. He at first seemed attentive and focused on helping me; he gave me authorization to find my own AC repair company since they contract with only that one inferior company (there are at least 30 in this area). I followed AHS's instructions: At my expense ($190), got two additional companies to come out, give diagnoses (both said "Replace"), and give quotes for new units (ranged between $8k and $10K).
I submitted the paperwork two weeks ago, and I'm still getting the run-around. My Media person said he could not authorize those amounts and would have to send someone else out. From where? Lam-Air again? Obviously, they are instructed by AHS to not recommend replacement, even though AHS's advertising and contract PROMISES to replace if a system cannot be repaired.
Note that three AC technicians (2 of them from local, very reputable companies) say the unit needs to be repaired because replacing the compressor is extremely expensive as are other repairs that an older system such as this will need shortly. In other words, it's more economical to replace than repair--not rocket science, just common sense. Anyway, my patience is just about to run out, and I will definitely take legal action against this phony baloney, scammer company.
Read the other reviews online--there is definitely a pattern here. Many, many more negative reviews than positive, by far! Don't purchase a warranty with them. The only thing they're good at is collecting your money and avoiding you when you have a problem! As I've told them ad nauseam, this is a also a serious health issue. Southern Oregon is experiencing record high temperatures this summer, in addition to Extreme High Level Smoke from Oregon and California fires. AHS does not care, and evidently does not plan to stand behind their promises. This company should be fined and put out of business for insurance fraud. Their poor customers should all be reimbursed in a class action suit, in my opinion.

I paid the $75 service call fee and the chosen plumber wants to charge an additional $150 before he even orders the water heater. The retail price of the water heater is $219. It cost more to use American Home Shield than it does for me to do it myself. I have already been waiting for more than a week. I finally ordered the water heater from Lowe's and AHS refuses to reimburse me for any of the cost. Note: this is a covered item and they already agreed to replace it. It is apparent that an American Home Shield Warranty is not worth the paper it is written on.

I put in a service request for AC on August 6th. It took a solid week for them to get someone out. In the meantime I had an HVAC company out to diagnose the problem. I also talked to 2 other HVAC technicians who told me the same thing that they did. Once the technician that American Home Shield sent out finally got there he confirmed what the others had told me, which in a nut shell, was that if American Home Shield had done a job that they did at my home in March of this same year correctly that the issue I am having now would not have happened.
AHS has agreed to pay for coils that they should have installed in March but they are charging me $938 in out of pocket expenses for something that is their fault. I have talked to their representatives 3 times asking to speak to a supervisor. I was finally told on August 19th that I would hear from one in 24 to 48 hours. Today is August 25th.

I couldn't get the air conditioners to work right, and there were two separate air conditioners. They were coming on by themselves. RR HVAC came and put the thermostat up in one and told me that they would be on manuals, so I could just have them come on when I want them to come on. After they had left, the downstairs one was coming on at 3 o'clock in the morning till I would get up at 6:00 in the morning. My neighbor had mentioned it to me because it was waking his daughter up whose bedroom is by the side of the house.
I called the company and left a message saying that the thermostat downstairs was also defective because it was coming on randomly. I got a callback from some guy in the company who was irate with me and was blaming everything on me. I lost my temper and cursed him and told him not to call again. About 10 minutes later, the guy called back and accused me of trying to get a free thermostat and told me to figure it out.
Then the girl that I spoke with originally, that called me about the whole thing, called me 20 minutes after this guy went ballistic on me. She asked if anybody got back to me and if not, she would schedule somebody to come out. I started telling her the story and she couldn't believe it. She asked if I knew who I talked to. But she said a lot of their calls go to a call center and so she was going to try to find out who that person was. She was super nice, and then was going to give me a callback, but I never heard back from her. I was thinking maybe it was the owner of the company that was cussing me out. I haven't called American Home Shield since then.
I ended up making the problem worse because I tried to replace the thermostat myself. I took the old one off and put the new one on. All the lighting worked and it would say it was cooling, but it wouldn't kick on the actual air conditioner, even though it was saying that it was on. So then I took that one off and put the old one back on. Now, there's no power. I have to get an electrician to see if there's something wrong with the electricity or wiring. We haven't had air conditioning for about 10 days now. I would tell American Home Shield not to send that company to my house again. But my experience with American Home Shield was fantastic.

The freezer top was freezing a little bit. My food was freezing, but it wasn't hard. It was like the ice wouldn't freeze all the way. I called Home Shield and then the contractor that they sent out wouldn't do Whirlpool. So they had to get another one out. The tech said he was so backed up but he would me in three days later. My husband was home when the tech came out and he said I needed so many part that it wasn't even worth getting, so I'll get another refrigerator. It took me three weeks to get a refrigerator. It shouldn't take that long to get a refrigerator. It took a while for Home Shield to approve it. When they approved it and by the time they sent the gift card for Lowe's, it wasn't on my phone. So I had to call back, and they put it on there.

Mae Dae Electric did well. My outlet had went out and even though it wasn't covered under the warranty so I had to pay out of pocket for some stuff, they did what they were supposed to do. The outlet was outside and AHS considers that not being covered expenses. They only cover outlets inside the house. For some stuff, sometimes, you feel like you're kind of paying for nothing but American Home Shield is worth it. It's good for homeowners because it does cover a lot of the less severe things. But if the problem is something that may be more than you probably anticipated, you're gonna have to find somebody else to do it for you or pay the expensive price that is given to you when a contractor comes out.
Sometimes, for certain services, the wait is ridiculous. I had to get a plumber out. Plumbing is a little bit higher-demand which I understand but it takes forever to get them come out. When you put a claim in, it may take a week and a half to two weeks. Then when they come out, they can't do this or you got to pay out of pocket for this. It’s a headache. I wouldn't be waiting a week for something that couldn't get fixed. I did get my shower unclogged but my main problem was my drain was backed up and they were trying to charge me almost $1,000 because they said it wasn't covered. I also experienced contractors telling me different things. A plumber told my girlfriend different things at different prices then he got on the phone with me and all the prices dropped.

The electric wasn't working when the contractor turned on the switch to turn on a light. They were very nice on the phone and helped me on the phone a lot. They went out yesterday, put a new light up and fixed it. I told them when I have problems at my house, I would like to use them. American Home Shield has worked out good for me. Trying to work with all these different contractors is hard when I can call them and they send someone qualified out to do the job. That makes it easy on me. It would be nice to have help on my commercial buildings. I asked my daughter, and she came back and told me they don't do commercial. But if they did, I would put the warranty on my buildings.

I had a toilet claim and Whitney T Holdings came out within two days. They fixed the issue but another issue started occurring. Now, when I flush the toilet, the water just continues running down and inside the toilet so I would need to kind of press it again so that the water stops. Also, I had an issue with my icemaker and the guy who came told me that I had to turn on and off my ice machine every day and that nothing was wrong with it. That was completely false because I called another company that I paid for and they came and installed a flap that was needed. My ice machine is working perfectly fine now.

It seemed like there was a disconnect upstairs because the air was not really pushing out of one of my rooms. I was trying to find out if the ducts were disconnected down in the basement next to the furnace. I did a claim to American Home Shield and they sent somebody out. The tech told me that I could try to get an attachment to go on the unit. He also went to a couple of my outlets, my intake vents, and showed me where there was a slight disconnect, and told me what I could do to fix it because he doesn't do that. I could also just pay them to come back. One of the ducts had dropped down a little upstairs, and he said I could do it, or they would tear out the wall. I didn't want the wall torn out. So, he gave me a quick solution for it. So, I did that but I'm still having the same issue.

The ice maker wasn't dropping ice. The technician came out and had his shoes on or stuff for the feet so he wouldn’t dirty up the floor. He also had his mask on. He had to order a part and we waited for it. Then he came back and fixed it. Overall, American Home Shield is a good service. I'll be calling them again because my Whirlpool doesn't work, but I have to wait for another month to recuperate.

AHS is wonderful. I had a refrigerator ice maker that didn't work. They put a new one in, but it wouldn't work, it wouldn't dispense. They bought me a brand new refrigerator. Right now, they'll be delivered. I also had a claim for the dishwasher. The only thing was, the techs didn't have the parts so they’re gonna come Wednesday. But I didn't hear from them. So I called them. They said they'd be out here tomorrow between 1:00 and 5:00. AHS is a great thing, it only cost me 125 for the service call. I don't know how in the world they do what they do for the price they charge. They're a great organization. I'd recommend them to anyone.

The work was good except the new garbage disposal is louder than the old one that was replaced. Plus, it's a lower power rating. The plumber gave me a choice because he doesn't have the one-half horsepower garbage disposal. It'll take about a week. My wife wanted the garbage disposal fixed so we went and got it done when he came in.

The microwave was not working and one of the parts was kind of burnt. So, every time we turned it on, it had an electrical shock. The appliance people ordered a new part and repaired it. As far as the claim process with American Home Shield, I don't understand if I'm supposed to contact the people or if they're supposed to contact me. Usually, when I get to the page, it says something about contacting them, but that's the only thing.

The AC was not turning on at all. When I first noticed it was warming up inside and I went out to check on it, it was making a very loud screeching noise. Then it quit doing that and then there was nothing at all. I called American Home Shield at about 9:00 in the morning, and someone was here at 5:00 that evening which was wonderful because it was a super hot day. The tech was very nice and very professional. I had a few questions on maintenance after he got it fixed, and he answered all my questions. With AHS, it's good being able to get someone out to make a repair and have a company that stands behind their work. Plus there are no unexpected expenses, you're gonna pay $100 deductible. My refrigerator also went out and they replaced it. I haven't gotten the check yet but it's nice to not have a sudden expense like that.

We reported that the upstairs AC unit wasn’t cooling. The tech came out and did something. But after a couple of days, we noticed it still wasn't cooling that well. I did call the contractor's dispatch and let them know. I left a message but they didn't call or come out in a couple days. I tried to do it online through American Home Shield but the system won't let me do it without paying again. So my wife called American Home Shield and got it set back up. When the tech came out the second time, he had to order parts. A coil was leaking and we are going to be charged $600 to change the coil.
We also had a claim for the pool heater and it was a big fight. It took too long to get resolved and American Home Shield wouldn't have done that if we didn't blast them on Facebook. Most of the contractors were good. But one thing that's a big issue with American Home Shield is water heaters. They will only cover $75 of it, and their contractors always want to come out. I've had to replace a water heater three times. The contractors want to charge me $500 every time they come out. Ever since American Home Shield had an ownership change, the service has been lacking and the upcharges from the contractors have been extremely excessive.

I said the unit was freezing up because it had ice on there and it wasn't working. The contractor came out on the 13th. And when the tech looked at it, he just went to the backyard, did whatever he did, and then said it was fixed, it started working, and that was it. He must have added their Freon, and then left. But then, it started doing the same thing. So, I put in another order because it wasn't repaired. I paid the $75, and then they came back and gave me a different diagnosis. He said there was a part that needed to be replaced. They had to order it. But he came out on a Monday and we're still waiting on parts. I get it. But I called and they didn't even call me back to say, "Hey, we're still waiting on the part." It's a gap. We are in the 90-something degrees weather. Other than that, it was a great interaction because they responded well. And they came out quick.
When I call a call center, the rep who answers is not very good with English. I can't understand what they're saying all the time. American Home Shield should have better speaking representatives. I've been with them since I bought my home. That's over 15 years now. I thought about the years I didn't use it. So, me just paying money to it. This time, I'm gonna question if I'm gonna keep it or not. But, so far, I pay because the contractors usually come out, resolve the issue, and I would be like, "Okay, this is why I had this." I'm just waiting to see what's gonna happen with this.

Overall, American Home Shield is pretty good. However, we've had bad experiences with plumbers. They started charging us $1,000. We ended up paying one of them $2,000 and the problem was still not fixed. So, I called American Home Shield and told them they need to quit sending certain companies out. We have a pipe that got clogged and the plumber won't unclog it. Now, they want another $800. This pipe is right under my house which is up on stilts so the plumber could walk right under there. He said he was gonna come back and do it but he never did. If we have to call a plumber again, it's a waste of money because we pay $75 for our deductible but we end up paying a lot more. And we have nice new pipes down there. It's just something in this one pipe. And the guy that charged us the 2,000 said, "Oh, you'll never have this problem again. I fixed it." He was a liar.
Other than that everything else has been good. Recently, the AC was not keeping the house cool. That issue was addressed well. The techs fixed it within five minutes. Make sure you keep your air conditioning unit up to date and things serviced as they're supposed to be. Because if the warranty company comes in and finds something hasn't been serviced properly, like with changing filters out, they're not going to cover it. I learned that from Choice Home Warranty when we had them in Oklahoma.

We were having problems with our disposal. We could hear the motor running but it wouldn't turn. It was late when I put the claim in and AHS called back the next morning and had someone out by 10:00. It was a very quick response. The techs found that the disposal needed replacing. I had to go to work at 11:00 and they said they would see what they could do. They called in and waited for a response but they knew the disposal was not fixable. So they replaced it and they were out before 11:00. We've had great success with what AHS has helped us with.
