    The AC company took a look at my unit and said the compressor is no good. They were supposed to change the unit, and they want me to come out of pocket $1,700. I was going away a bit, and they told me they were backed up until mid-September. Apart from that, having a home warranty is very beneficial. I emailed three of my friends a link for a referral program and American Home Shield is gonna send me out a referral thing. I didn’t get it yet, but I’m waiting.

    I had a refrigerator that was no longer cooling. I started noticing that everything seemed to be melting in the freezer. Finally, it dawned on me that it was broken. So, I called Home Shield and they scheduled me with somebody. The company couldn't come out to see me for about a week. So, I called Home Shield back and said, "Okay. I don't have a week. Can you find me another company that's got more availability?" They did and it was JM Appliance. They came out the next day, diagnosed the problem and told me it would take somewhere probably between two to three weeks to get the part in that they needed to replace. The tech said, "Now, mind you, this is worst-case scenario. I don't wanna tell you it's gonna come next week, and then it doesn't come. I'd rather give you worst-case scenario." So, he went ahead and put the order in.

    He cleaned up after himself. When he came in, he had a mask on and booties on his feet, and he was very polite, proficient and professional. About a week later, I got a phone call saying that the part was in. They came out the next day and installed the part. The refrigerator's been working fine ever since. So, it was a very good experience with JM Appliance but also with Home Shield in that they would go and find me someone who had availability immediately.

    Requesting service to Home Shield is very simple and straightforward. They do have a glitch in their system that will charge me twice for a service, but then they always refund it. I pay $75 for a call, and I see it twice all the time. So far, they've always refunded it, but I hate that I have to check and make sure. Other than that, the people on the phone are, for the most part, easy enough to understand. Sometimes, I run into one that really is difficult to understand. But for the most part, I can understand what they're saying. They are courteous. They are very friendly. They are helpful.

    I had a microwave issue and the guy came out and said, "Well, it's because of this part that's broken. And this microwave is really old." "Okay. Great. So, then just get me a new microwave." Instead, he went about trying to fix it and said, "Let me try a part from this. And let me try a part from that." Meanwhile, we had this man in and out of our house. The microwave took over a month to be repaired. Then it was never repaired. It was a constant battle to get it fixed, instead of him just saying, "Let's get you a new microwave." It took me getting a little irate and saying, "I don't understand what the problem is. If the part's unavailable and it's not here, aren't you supposed to just replace the microwave?" Home Shield said, "Yes. But we have to get him to say he can't fix it." "Well, then what I need you to do is to send someone else out because this guy keeps thinking he can fix it and it doesn't."

    So, they sent the second guy out who said, "We can't get these parts. This thing is broken." He took the information, left, came back, and the next day, he said, "We're gonna recommend a new microwave," which they did. I had to have some homework done. My microwave was hardwired into the house. It was here when the house was built. And the new one needed to be able to plug according to code and whatnot. So, I got all of that background work done. Then the guys came, delivered, and installed the microwave. But that was the only time that I felt like that part was difficult.

    I wish Home Shield had a way to tie in everything you need, so when I need my hot water heater replaced, they don't come with just the hot water heater. I need the guy to come out and check the gas line. I need somebody to come out and tell me, "You need a bigger cabinet. And here's the carpentry work." I need something that could help me work it all together. But instead, it is just appliances. So, I am learning to work the system and this latest experience was the best one so far. I have already recommended Home Shield to other friends who have different home warranty services. I've told them I use American Home Shield, and while it has some difficulties or it can be a little frustrating time-wise, it does get the job done, whereas they haven't had the same sort of luck with their company.

    American Home Shield's website was super easy and quick. The plumber got back to me really quickly and he was super respectful. Initially, we had low water pressure but it was fine. It was us who didn't get how our new shower fixture worked correctly and it was only a simple adjustment. The plumber gave us a tutorial of things. He was very patient and helped us understand the new home a bit better. So far, I feel happy with AHS's services. I feel like I have some support in the house. We have done some renovations too and it helps us understand how our place operates.

    The upstairs AC was blowing just hot air. It wasn't cooling. The technicians said one of the parts was not working, and they happened to have it on their truck. They replaced it, and it started working again. American Home Shield worked really well. We've had other issues in other times that things didn't go well. But the AC claim went really smoothly.

    We had a leak under our sink, and it was coming from the faucet in the kitchen. Unfortunately, with that kind of faucet, you can't just replace the tubing that goes to it because the leak is up inside the faucet. The contractor determined that was the problem, and they ordered a new faucet. It came about a week later and then they replaced it. We haven't had an issue since. So it was great.

    We also had a claim for an air conditioning issue. The people who American Home Shield sent out wanted to do a whole bunch of stuff. I disagreed with what they wanted to do. So I called American Home Shield and asked them if I had to go with this provider. They told me, “No. If you wanna just do the cash option, that's fine. And then you can find your own.” So I shopped around a little bit and found the people who installed the air conditioners in the first place and they knew the homes really well in the neighborhood. When we went with the cash option, it ended up being less expensive and it covered everything. The whole process for submitting my receipts was very smooth. Everything was good.

    The claims process with American Home Shield was pretty straightforward. The way with home warranties is that you pay for the claim upfront and then you hope it's worth it, and in our case, it happened to be. The online process of submitting a request and then paying for it right up front was easy. Then within a couple of hours, they gave us the contractor. It was smooth. I was happy with both experiences that I had with American Home Shield. The cash option was a little more legwork for me, but it was worth it for us in the end.

    The AC unit outside was turning on but the one inside was not. I was expecting the repair to take at least a day or two but the tech came out a few hours later after I put the claim in, which was fast. He was great. I told him what was up and he went up into the attic and told me he found the problem. It was a capacitor that was blown and he swapped it out, and everything came back up. It was only 100 bucks to have him come out and fix the issue. Those capacitors are usually at least a couple of $100 and a service call would have been at least 60 bucks. So, it was much cheaper than that to have the home warranty. American Home Shield took care of it and I liked the peace of mind.

    There was a time when we first had the call for the microwave oven. I wasn’t too impressed with the service of the people. They got the job done but they didn't seem to appreciate my time. They came at 6 o'clock at night and they were there until 7:00 and I had to come back later on. I didn't appreciate that. But they fixed the unit so I can't complain. It's been pretty good with AHS. Lately, their technicians have been really good. My microwave wasn't working. The techs had to order a part but the repair was a matter of 20 minutes once they got it. I've also used AHS for a water heater and they replaced it. Several years later, they came back and replaced the element.

    Teksquad was great but my experience with American Home Shield is awful. I have filed three claims in the last few months. The cooktop was filed, and that's where Teksquad came out within a day or two, assessed the problem, got the part, came back within a few days, and repaired it. They were wonderful. Prior to that, I filed a claim regarding my pool pump that quit working. American Home Shield assigned a company to come and look at it. The name of that company was, Moonbeam Pool and Spa. They never called me. I called them multiple times but no one would return my call. I called American Home Shield about that. After dealing with them, they assigned another company to come and look at it. That company is called Howorth Pools. They came out and assessed the problem. They were able to fix my pool pump.

    In the meantime, my pool filter messed up. I filed a claim with American Home Shield about that. To this date, that still hasn't been fixed. I have called multiple times to American Home Shield about it and the people at Howorth Pools have called them multiple times about it too. To get someone to give us any straight answers or making any effort to get it fixed is non-existent. Every time I talk to them, they say that they're checking the account and that it is under review. When Howorth Pools contacted them, they were telling them that they were ordering the part. The claim was filed in June and it's still not fixed.

    Whenever I call American Home Shield, I'm on hold forever. I can't understand the person that I talk to. I've asked to speak to someone in the United States and the answer I got the last time was I could call back and maybe somebody from the United States would answer. I've told them that I've called probably 20 times, and every time they're someone from another country that doesn't seem to be able to give me any answers on it.

    I've talked to American Home Shield and told them twice that I wanted to speak to a supervisor that can give me some answers. The supervisor calls some odd number at night but I don't get their call. But each time that they've called, they've left me a message and it says that they understand that a tech has been out, that it's been repaired, and to let them know if there are any more problems. Each time they're calling us, they're looking at the cooktop order and don't seem to be considering that I have this other claim in there that they're not checking on. American Home Shield comes up for renewal in October, and I'm looking at other options because it's extremely frustrating that I can't seem to get this problem fixed.

    A few weeks ago our hot water heater's electrical panel caught fire. It was a sunny day & our home has a whole home surge protector. We quickly contacted AHS. The next day the service tech showed up & determined the unit needed to be replaced due to the fire & stated the cause of the fire could not be established. The service tech report sent to AHS did not mention bad weather or a power surge as the cause of the fire.

    Later on that day, AHS marked the case as "completed." We called the service tech and they told us AHS had declined to cover as it was "an act of God." Since we did not want to be without hot water while fighting with AHS we gave the service tech the go ahead to replace the unit at $1800 out of our pocket. Since then, I have been fighting with AHS to cover the usual portion of a hot water heater replacement that should be covered under our warranty. In a private twitter message to me, AHS falsely claimed that the service tech report stated a power surge caused the fire. I have the reports and no such claim is made.

    Be warned: As a former long-term customer I believe AHS will cover smaller repairs without much hassle, but when a larger item like a hot water heater or AC unit fails, AHS will decline your claim and make you suffer in the summer heat or freezing cold shower. We replaced our hot water heater after a week of fighting at our expense and AHS now says that voids our claim. Trust me! You are better off self-insuring against appliance, hot water heater and AC loss. Put $550 a year into a rainy day fund. You will come out ahead. AHS is a scam!!!!

    AHS after 28 days of no A/C in South TX in Aug 2021, offered me half of my service fee back. I told then $50.00 wouldn't cover the cost of my electric bill with 2 portable A/C units I purchased. They offered 100% of my service fee ($100), told them no thank you, just get my A/C fixed! The servicing company told me they could get the parts in 2 days. AHS would not allow that, as they get parts at a discounted price. I understand why AHS wants to pay a discounted price for all parts. But 28 days later, I would have gladly paid for the parts at 100%. It would be cheaper than my increased electric bill forthcoming, and the price of 2 portable A/C running 24/7 for 3 weeks now), which does not cool the house, only makes 2 rooms bearable.

    When the tech came out the first time, he looked at the outlet and said that the problem was the plug. Then he changed something inside then left. Two hours later, the power went off again in the same outlet. He came back again and looked at the outlet on the same wall and changed that. By that evening, it was out again. Then he decided that all the outlets, apparently, on that circuit, because of the age of the house, was old. So, then we had to move everything from all the walls so he can check the outlet, what he should’ve done the first time to at least analyze what the problem was. So, again, by the third time out, it was fixed.

    Other than that, I have difficulty with AHS assigning the repairman that's actually knowledgeable and their rep didn't listen when I told them not to send a man out here who didn't know what he was doing. For example, I've waited two weeks for the plumber and he still has not repaired the toilet. He was supposed to fix a shower and what he did was went in there, opened up the shower door, looked at it, said that there was hair in it, and closed the door. He's supposedly looking for a part but nobody bothered to call to see if we've been contacted and let us know the status, or if he was finding or not finding a part.

    I told AHS that this man was inadequate and he just didn't know squat. I got to call AHS again today as it's going on three weeks and my toilet still isn't fixed. I dealt with American Home Shield before and the quality of workmen is not there anymore. If they were to review these people they send out to make sure that they are functionally knowledgeable, then that would be different. Aside from that, in Hawaii, they seem to have difficulty finding proper repair people.

    I've got a little issue that we're working out but other than that, I've been very pleased with American Home Shield. We have a split unit. It's a mini-split in our kitchen. We've called it in twice to be serviced and looked at. In 2019, we had to have Freon put in, which I had to pay for out of pocket and it was about $400. Now, we just had it looked at again and they're telling us we need Freon again and it's going to be another $500. I'm almost at the point of a new unit at this point, and the only way they can tell if it's a leak is if they put more Freon in it. I'm like, "This is crazy. I'm not going to keep paying for Freon two years later." So, on my last conversation with the American Home Shield representative, she was checking with Family Heating & Air, the company that was providing service, and was going to tell them that I had requested for a replacement of the unit.

    AHS also sent Myers and they were fantastic. Our main unit went completely out. They were scheduled for a 10:00 to 2:00 timeframe and the tech got here at like 9:15. The issue was a capacitor. He had the part, he had everything ready to go and had us up and running in probably 30 minutes. He was a super nice guy and was very professional.

    A wire in the AC had fatigued and the motor on the compressor wasn't running. The tech from Smart Choice Heating & Cooling fixed it on the same day. We had an issue with our first claim, though. I don't know if the wrong phone number was put in our account. It took a while to find us. But once they found us, it was fairly quick.

    The benefit of having American Home Shield is good, because I don't have to come up with a lot of money up front. I'm very satisfied with the service. I had problems with the air conditioner. It was 85 degrees in the house, and I couldn't get it cool here. I called American Home Shield and they sent out a technician. He knew what the problem was. He was a very professional, kind young man, and he resolved the problem that day, less than 30 minutes after he had been here. I've had one past claim, and that was very good, too. They had to order a part, and the part I did not have to pay for. I was very satisfied with that as well.

    Before I even started, I asked American Home Shield, “If there's this particular plumber or somebody that I liked, could I call for that company again?” They said yes. However, that's not the case. You can't use that plumber again. You gotta use somebody else. The last one they sent out never even called nor showed up. I ended up paying out of my own pocket. American Home Shield called the contractor and the guy said he was on his way but it was too late then. I had already found someone else to do it. I wouldn't recommend American Home Shield to anyone. As soon as I find someone else, I'm going to cancel my contract with them. I don't want to be with them anymore.

    The capacitor in my pool pump blew up. The whole unit went out. My wife called in a claim and then AHS sent us the contractor's information. Then we called them and they came over. They replaced the capacitor. The only problem I had was they gave me a window between 3:00 in the afternoon till 8:00 at night. I told the guy I wanted to be there when they came. He worked me in and he ended up coming at 1:00. So my wife had to deal with him, which wasn't that big of a deal, but I was on the other side of town and I couldn't get over there to be with him.

    I love American Home Shield. They manage my rental property for me based on whatever my renter says is the issue. It's peace of mind. I've had zero failures out of over 50 service calls. I have been using AHS' seamless online process. I go into the system, I plug in the issue that I'm facing whether it's plumbing, electrical, garage, furnace, or air conditioning related. The portal guides me exactly into what needs to get done, what contractor comes out, and in the event that contractor is not the expert to get it done then they guide it back to AHS. They guide us over into the right individual who would come out. And the job gets done. The recent contractor did exactly what they came out to do, which is open up my garage and get it fixed.

    I don't like American Home Shield's service. I had some work done to my AC and they recommended a company that totally screwed me over. I'll never use that company again. Also, AHS only covered a small portion of the payment. I had a leaky coil in my attic and I had Air Dynasty install a new one. While they were up there, something else supposedly broke. I believe that they broke that on purpose to try to get more money out of me. They replaced it out of their pocket because I told them I wasn't spending any more money with their company.

    Air Dynasty sent a salesman out who said that if I pay $2,100, I wouldn't get the parts 'til seven days. ut if I pay $2,900, I would have the part that night and the AC. I went five days with no AC, and I still had to pay the $2,900. American Home Shield said I should only have to pay $2,300. So, someone is lying. I got scammed out of money.

    I called American Home Shield to complain about Air Dynasty and they acted like they didn't even care. I called Air Dynasty almost every day to speak to a manager or a supervisor and no one wanted to talk to me. They were either out sick, or they don't come in till 10 o'clock in the morning. AHS is not worth it because you can't use the people you wanna use and have them pay for it. If you Google Air Dynasty, they have so many complaints against them and they're scammers. But yet, AHS still uses them. They're all in cahoots together and they're just all scammers. I’ve never heard of anybody having a good experience with American Home Shield.

    Our toilet was not flushing the water, and the Sirius repair people were great, very nice, and seemed professional, even though they didn't resolve the issue after every visit. Every time, they fixed something else and it supposedly worked for two days. It took them three different visits, and they had to replace different parts, but eventually, it got resolved.

    Sometimes having a home warranty is good, but for the bigger parts, for example, I now have an AC problem, and American Home Shield is making my life very miserable. With regards to the toilet, it was okay, even though it took them time to resolve it. For the AC, it's not. Now, they're providing an additional contractor 'cause the previous one couldn't provide the replacement. They needed to replace a part, which wasn't in the inventory and it will take them eight weeks. If you live in Texas during the heat, waiting eight weeks for a part for an AC is unacceptable.

    Six months ago, a tech came out for our ac and said he thought we had a leak. Once he gave us the Freon, we need to call back later on so they could do a test. When this recent guy came out, he didn't find any leaks. What he found was a burnt wire. He replaced the wiring and everything is good. However, I’m dissatisfied with AHS because we gotta go through so much just to get somebody to come out. AHS didn’t use to be like that, ‘cause I had AHS years ago. They used to be on their ball and nail that we had the last time because I have AHS for two homes. But we had to pick up a part between AHS and the people that were supposed to deliver the part.

    I don't think that we as a customer should have to go out and order the parts. Then when we get a part, we call AHS. Then AHS calls whoever's coming out to fix it. There were a lot of second, third and fourth people we had to deal with and that was on my other house. There was no communication. I would not recommend AHS to anyone. It wasn’t a good experience.

    We had someone come out regarding a refrigerator that failed on us in the house we recently moved into and was covered by Home Shield. Initially, submitting the claim was very difficult. I made several of the calls, and we either got hung up on or there was nothing we could do. There were several different chases here. “You have to call this number here, and you have to call this number….” We stayed after it and finally, we got ahold of somebody who said, “Well, I'm the person who you need to talk to.” The people we talked to were very customer-oriented, and they had information.

    Once we got ahold of a person, then things began to happen. They came out, looked at the refrigerator, and said, “This part needs to be replaced.” They couldn't find the part, so they closed the account unbeknownst to us and that was not helpful at all. Nobody told us this, so we kept waiting for somebody to come back, a report, or a call, “Here's what we're going to do.” When we called back, there was no account, but when we got somebody on the phone, then she fixed it. Once we explained it to her, she said, “Okay, I understand what happened and we'll fix it.” She then said, “We don't have the part. We can't get the part. So, we have to replace the appliance.” After that, it worked swiftly. They gave us a catalog of appliances to choose from. We chose to replace the appliance and set it all up.

    Another one of those little inconsistencies is they said they were going to deliver it on one day, then they called to say they weren't. A week later, the truck finally arrived, the appliance came, and the fellas who delivered it were very nice and professional. They took the old appliance away, put the new appliance in and didn’t wreck anything. They did an excellent job and were very courteous. All in all, it took a while and a lot of persistence, but once we got to the end, it was a very successful experience. It was just the bureaucracy that didn't work so well. I really wish that they have the internal system worked out much better because it's an excellent service. It’s just the stuff in the middle is very time-consuming and annoying.

    I wasn't too happy with American Home Shield's service. I had to get another guy to come out to tighten up what the plumber was supposedly had done. He didn't tighten up my pipes after he installed the faucet. I had to spent $40 today for someone else to tighten up some bolts and it caused me to have a leak on the two sinks, upstairs and downstairs. So, I wasn't very thrilled with that.

    Then, my refrigerator stopped making ice after he turned the water back on. I had him to come back out here because I had called, but he kept asking me, "Did I do the kitchen sink?" I said, "No, you did two sinks upstairs in the master bathroom and you did the one in the hall bathroom and the one downstairs, but didn't screw those things tight in the upstairs bathroom and a half bathroom downstairs." The handyman I had to call said that he didn't change the pipes out. He should have checked it after he installed it.

    I'm leaving American Home Shield because of this incident. This ain't the first time this happened with plumbing in my home where plumbing had to come back. I'm really not too happy with the plumbers that are sent here. They should get some better reputable companies that don't have to come back and redo the work.

    As far as the claim process, you got to wait so long. And when you call, you're talking to somebody overseas, can't even understand your language, and you have to ask them to repeat what they said. I'm not happy about getting someone that can't speak English very well. I'm not thrilled about that because you have to repeat yourself, and then you have to repeat your name so many times. That's really frustrating. I got to get with a company that can have people that can speak direct English to you and understand what you're saying.

Then, when my AC broke down, I was charged another $100. The techs did it all at once but I was still charged for two different visits.

    Be aware of what your contract covers. When AHS' contractor did the air conditioning, I did not realize that the Freon is not covered completely. There's only a certain amount. Other than that, AHS is a great system to have. I was very skeptical before I got it.

    American Home Shield has reputable people to work on claims. I've only had one bad experience and that was the very first contractor we got to come look out at our air conditioner. They responded the same day I put the claim in. But after that, it was horrible. It was almost like they collected the service fee to come out, and then they dropped the ball with everything else. They said the issue was the compressor and they wanted us to pay $800 upfront before they even ordered the part. But the issue turned out not to even be the compressor.

    Several people complained about that contractor. So that was how we ended up with Air Force One. It was a better move for us, even though we ended up spending more money because we had to replace the air conditioning unit. The Air Force One tech was honest and great. But he had some issues. The first air conditioner that he replaced didn't work. So he had to get a replacement for the replacement. He's been really busy, but he is a good contractor. The customer service that he presented was awesome.

    American Home Shield's coverage has been fine. I had a rental property that I also had it on and after having it for 10 years, they still charged me a fee when I sold the house. They tried to convince me to transfer it to the new owner. But I didn't know that person and they had their own warranty that they wanted to go with.

So far, AHS has been great and I never had a problem with them. When I call them, they always respond. I pay AHS $75 for every call, then I pay about 900-something, which is not that high. The contractors are decent and I like the contract that I have right now. I have twins and that's why I have the program, to prevent damage in the house.

    The air conditioner made a click, click, click sound all the time when it was running from the inside. I could hear it, like where the air filter is, and it was just getting louder and louder. I made the claim online and got the information online, and the contractor called within 24 hours and came out. I'm online a lot and I've seen some clunky ones. But that website seems to work well. It was efficient and took care of it. I didn't have to be on the phone for hours and hours.

    Once I had the contractor's name, it was easy to search to see if they were any good or not. Because AHS sent somebody out for a repair on my refrigerator and they were terrible. I've talked to several other people that had those same people and they were awful. But AHS has been great. They made me stick with the guy that was terrible, but then I ended up getting my refrigerator replaced. AHS stood behind their contract. So, I've been happy.

    The only other issue I had with AHS and this was at the very beginning, I just bought the house and the air conditioner went out. It was 115 degrees, and it was the day I was moving in. I couldn't get anybody out here. The Realtor had somebody that could change the fuse. And AHS would not reimburse me because the realtor did not contact AHS first. But I realized they have to have rules. It would have been nice if they said, "Okay. Well, we can see this was extraordinary situation." I tried to get that rectified, but it was a hard no. But I have recommended them to my neighbors that they are responsive. The downside is I have to only go with who they send, but so far, that have been good people except for the one. So, they are doing a good job.

    I did a claim for a refrigerator malfunction and this time, the experience was shockingly fast. I had had another refrigerator incident that lasted for six months until I could get it fixed. But American Home Shield finally sent the same good company at the end that they sent this time. They knew exactly what they were doing. They were fast and efficient. It depends if they send you a good company or a bad one, and there's no way you can pick. But since I did take a survey from them and I complained a lot, it seems like now, they're saying that they should have somebody out to my house within 48 hours. I'm hoping they've upped their game. It seems like they have but there's still some dodgy wording in the coverage. They cover your appliances, but if they have to replace a ceiling fan that you paid $700 for, they're going to give you the cheapest one possible. They don't tell you everything and they could do a lot better.

    American Home Shield sucks. If I could get my money back, I would. I have a fourplex and the hot water heater quit when one of the ladies there was in the hospital. No one would return my call from the contracted company. I spent most of my day off on Monday to try to find somebody and Ashley from AHS flat out lied. The company called me and they're like, “Chris what is going on? Because home warranty’s on the phone and they said you're the one that cancelled us.” But then I never cancelled them. AHS cancelled them and then they called somebody else who then said, “No, we can't come till at least Wednesday or Thursday.”. I told them that was not acceptable.

    So my husband and I, out of our pocket, had to go buy our own water heater which cost us $800. We had to put it in so that my lady, who just came home from the hospital, could have water. She's not going to die on my count. I paid all this money for a home warranty that doesn't work because I had to pay for the heater out of my pocket. All I wanted was to be reimbursed for the water heater but AHS said no because I didn't go through the proper chain of command. I sell real estate and I'm in the top 50 of my board of a thousand. So I will tell all my clients. I won't let them use AHS.

    The garbage disposal was still working, but there had been a leak at the side of the garbage disposal and stuff that was coming out had a really foul odor. The tech checked everything and he replaced that after he assessed the situation. Then he cleaned up and left. As far as the scheduling, the window that I had was from 1 o'clock to 6 o'clock in the evening, which for me wasn't optimal but I understand that a lot of stuff happens during the day. Also, when I went in to American Home Shield's website to make a selection about what appliance or what was going on, I thought that those selections could have been greater. Instead of just garbage disposal, there should be a place where I could just write down that there was a leak and an odor for them to be able to assess the problem better.

    Generally, I've been okay with American Home Shield’s service but the biggest issue I'm having is with regards to the communication between AHS and the person who has been contracted to fix the problem. When I called AHS, I was told they were going to call the people in. When they did, they got a voicemail. So, they said they were going to call them back in four hours.

    Five to six hours later, I called back and I had to give an entire dissertation of what took place the first time. It took almost 20 minutes for me to finally get to the person that I was talking to at American Home Shield. Then she finally said that she saw the notes where I talked to her colleague and they said they were going to call me back in four hours. But that was a long time after I had already explained that. Then, when they tried, they got a voicemail again and told me they were going to follow up. The rep said she was going to put it on a priority and call them today or this morning but I still haven't heard anything.

    I had an oven that went out and the Sears guy who looked at it said that the control board was bad, and he had to order a new part. The part came in on August 27th, which was probably two days after the oven went out and when the guy came. Here we are, two weeks later on the 8th, and I still don't have an oven. It would have been Friday, the 3rd, when the part got in but it being the weekend, I didn't call Sears back until Tuesday, 7th, because of Labor Day. When I called Sears, they said that there was just one part and the other part was on backorder, and it may be 21 days or more before we get it. I asked what I was supposed to do for 21 days and they told me that I would have to call American Home Shield.

    I called American Home Shield and stated to them the issue and that was where I got into two separate conversations. The first one being they contacted, got voicemail and so, they were going to call me back. But they didn't. I called American Home Shield and got the second person. It wasn't until later that they realized that there was a note and that it says they would make it a priority. We’re at the next day and I still haven't heard anything.

    I still don't have any resolution on when I am going to have an oven. That's been two weeks already and then, we're talking maybe another 21 days if this part takes that long to get here. So, that's over a month with no cooking apparatus in my house, other than the microwave. This is not the first time that I've had an issue with it. It was Sears the last time that had to order a part and so AHS’ problem may be with Sears. We had the same issue with the washing machine last year and a similar situation where the part was on backorder, and American Home Shield ended up giving us a check for a new washing machine because it was going to be several weeks before a part came in for the washing machine. And It was Sears.

    I've had a couple other instances with AHS where it has been timely and I have a good service. So, it's hit or miss. Myers Comfort came out and they were good. They've come out several times for issues that we've had with our air conditioner and I've not had any issues with them. I have recommended the service with AHS but the problem is not all the service providers are quality. The other thing that I had a problem with is that the couple of times I've had to call customer service, I had trouble understanding who I was talking to. There were some language barrier issues. But I'm not interested in getting rid of American Home Shield. They have come through and helped me when I needed it.

    When my trash compactor wouldn't work, I went online and paid my $100. It's a good website. The repair man then took out my trash compactor, said, "It's just a jam thing in here," and fixed it. He also cleaned it all and tightened up some pipes that were leaking. He did a good job. The only complaint I have with American Home Shield is the last time that they had someone clean my air conditioner, the guy charged me an extra $100 and I wrote him a check. He said, "Well, there's something wrong with this. And you're gonna have to pay anyway 'cause you have to call them up, and they're still gonna charge you." I didn't like that. Other than that, it's been a good experience, and I tell my friends, "It's a good insurance.

    Last year, I had claims to get my furnace cleaned, and the contractor did an abysmal job. I complained about the furnace not working in the basement, and they came back, "Oh, nothing's wrong with it," which was a lie. I had to get a private contractor to come in. Also, although American Home Shield's phone people are exceptionally courteous, it takes forever on the phone. The appointments are a long time, but that's in keeping with COVID.

    This year, I ignored the furnace cleaning thing because last year it was worthless. However, I'm still gonna have to put forth another repair and spend another $100 to attempt to get my furnace repaired in the basement. I have two. I was ready to let American Home Shield go and I'm still thinking about it, but the service this year has improved. They need better contractors though. Now they're using more Sears, and the last contractor I had for the washer was good. With the refrigerator, that was Sears, so they were good.

    Have been a faithful customer of AHS for many years with 2 properties. They have gotten so bad, so much ** and so much of a rip off that I had to actually take time and make this bad review. Started with a simple, and I mean SIMPLE microwave door clip being broken. This caused the microwave door to not seal properly unless you manipulate it back into place. 1st call - they sent someone out right away OREN in Las Vegas, he takes the door and starts prying the door with a scraper knife and cracks multiple clips and then say, "Oh your pieces are cracked." The door still works and so no can claim warranty (mind you a replacement door costs $350 ) and my service call cost $125. So he claims to AHS that it is still working and thus no repair needed. Now my door is still hanging off the over stove area and so I call to chase them to find out that it was "Not a warranty claim and tough **". So I ask for a 2nd opinion as the door is still broken and even worst now that the 1st guy broke a bowl full of clips.

    Called and chased them since July 20th and finally got a 2nd guy to come and look at it. He said the clip was broken and would report to AHS. This was on 8/12/2021. No reply, no call back, no email, no nothing. I have to chase them to get a response. Today 8/23/2021 I get in touch with them and they said "Oh it was because YOU broke the door due to force and thus we are not going to cover your repair". Well this is the last straw. So I myself ordered a replacement door from GE and will get it here is 2 days at a cost of $398 with tax etc. Cancelling my long time contracts with this crap of an outfit and will tell everyone of the absolute bad service that I got and documented with employees **, **, supervisor Jom, Mesh, and some other foreign speaking person that was worthless. This needs to be taken up to BBB for resolution. Take your bad business practices and shove it where my microwave door is!

    Updated on 8/24/2021: Did they not read the review? I already canceled on July 6th and have zero intention of signing another contract. let me put this in caps, so it can be abundantly clear. STOP TRYING TO PROCESS A PAYMENT ON MY CLOSED CREDIT CARD!!! According to your letter, I OWE YOU ZERO, NOTHING, ZIP, $0.00.

    Original review: We had American Home Shield for two years. We used them a few times, and getting them to pay out, was like pulling teeth. This summer after replacing our Furnace (on our dime), the headache of dealing with AHS was clearly not worth it anymore. On July 6th, 2021, I called American Home Shield to cancel my current contract. On the same day, I received an email back from the AHS Cancellation Department confirming my contract cancellation. An attached letter from the email, states that we owed ZERO. On July 25th, I received a notification from Privacy.com (which I HIGHLY recommend!) that I had decline notification from the credit card that I previously used for American Home Shield and then canceled the credit card number after I closed the account.

    Subsequently, they called my wife's phone and said we owed the amount of $60.90 for our monthly payment. I then called them back and reminded them I had canceled the contract on the 6th of July and received notice that I had canceled the account. They then put me on hold to "confer with management" and never came back to the phone (I hung up after 90 minutes on hold). They tried to elicit payment from my dead credit card subsequently on the days of July 31st, Aug. 6th, Aug. 12th, and Aug. 18th. Every time I call and yell at them, and every time they put me on hold until I finally hang up after a few hours.

But the head popped off, and she didn't realize that it come off the end of the wand, and it went down the pipe. There was no way to get it out unless you have the right tools. So we called American Home Shield and they lined up Oasis to come out. The guy's name was David and he was great. He showed up exactly when he said he would be there, and it took him five minutes to do the job.

    We've used American Home Shield’s services twice when we had the exact same problem with our air conditioner two summers in a row. There's a certain capacitor that's part of our air conditioning system outdoors and it went out twice in a row. It was good to have somebody come by and check it out professionally, and then swap out the part that was the actual problem.

    We have two different American Home Shield accounts because we own a rental house in Florida. It's really handy to have an AHS policy on a rental house because you never know what your renters are going to accomplish. We've had some bizarre things happen with the rental house. The one that really surprised me the most was when the garage door opener went out. One of the big, heavy springs that lifts the garage door broke. I've never seen that happen in my life. The funny thing was that our tenants couldn't figure out why the garage door wouldn't go up and down anymore. But somebody got out there to fix it.

    Recently, with my last two claims with AHS, I'm a little disappointed, because the first one I made once a few months ago in the company where I was referred to, which was a good operation, Bissett Plumbing never contacted me. I waited about a week and a half. I've dealt with them for years and they're terrific. I finally had to go with another company.

    Then now this one with Mars Appliance Repair. We had a leak in our washing machine. The guy came out and he replaced some pump. Took him about half an hour and he left. It seemed to be fine for a couple of days. But the wife didn't use the washing machine for three days. Then yesterday, she washed clothes and it's leaking again. So, I made another claim.

    I'm a little puzzled that I hadn't heard from them yet. Usually, somebody calls me within 24 hours when we set up an appointment and I didn't get one this time. But generally speaking, over the course of my 20 years with American Home Shield, I couldn't be happier. I've gotten a brand-new refrigerator, a new microwave oven and all sorts of stuff over the years. I got a certain amount of peace of mind by having American Home Shield. It's a good thing to have.

They made sure there were no leaks, the Freon was full, and that everything was running good with the furnace. They were thorough.

    So far, our experience with AHS has been good. However, we've had a random experience with the provider that they sent to us for our issue. But overall, I feel okay with American Home Shield. Originally, we had a claim back in June. One of our air conditioning units was leaking in the basement. The techs came out, took a look at it, but didn't really have an explanation for what was going on. Randomly, I don't know why they did this, but they went upstairs and looked at the unit in the attic, which didn't have anything to do with the one in the basement.

    They ended up having to have the manager come out, which is the owner of the company. He took a look at the unit three days later, because I called them back and said, “This isn't resolved.” They took care of it and solved the issue. Then, we just had them come out. I said, “Our upstairs unit is not working. It's been running flat out all day, every day since a week and a half ago.” I assumed that it was because we had gotten Nest thermostats, and it was trying to learn out whatever that they do. But, regardless, it wasn't.

    I said to my husband, “It's weird how it doesn't feel like the pressure for the air return when the unit's on is actually there.” We used to hear a whistle in certain bedrooms. When you shut the door, it would make a suction noise. He said, “Oh, weird. I never thought about it. But yeah, that makes sense.” He went upstairs and checked it himself, and they had left the cover off of it. So it was pulling air from the attic through the system and trying to recirculate that through our main floor and our upstairs. Humidity was through the roof.

    When we called, I said, “The unit we're having issues with is in the attic.” He said, “Okay, I think I know what the issue is.” He went out and looked at the unit outside, added a couple of ounces of Freon to balance the system, he said, it should be all good and left. But he never even went upstairs to check the system. I was like, I don't know how you can figure out what's going on by just checking an outside unit. Had he gone upstairs, he would have seen what the last technician did, left the system wide open. Obviously, when it's 90 degrees, and trying to circulate air that's in the attic that is 110 degrees, it’s gonna be a problem. I personally won't have them back out to my house again. Both times have been unique.

    The first day that I moved into the house, the toilet and shower didn't work. American Home Shield had to send out three different people. But not one of them could get it right. I had to come out of my pocket and pay $700 to get this fixed. Each time, AHS wanted to charge me $75 to send somebody out. It's just to charge me money. But they sent me plumbers out that have come in, taken my brand-new towels out of my bathroom, spent 10 minutes and walked out. They did work on one of my other son's bathrooms. Underneath the sink was leaking. They made it worse. It's still pulling out water. It's just a damn joke. I call them, they argue with me. They said they would call me back but they didn't. They are rude and have done nothing for me. I'm gonna cancel this warranty and find somebody new.

    American Home Shield is really good and I appreciate how they call back. But I just had one thing that I don't like and that was when I called for the appliances. They ordered some parts for my stove, refrigerator-freezer, and washer. It’s been over three weeks now or longer that they ordered a part. The washer part hasn't come so I called the contractor myself and they told me that the stove and refrigerator parts were here but they didn't deliver it. I called AHS and one rep told me that since it was taking so long for the washer part, she would contact the contractor and have them deliver and fix my stove so I can use it. I never heard anything, so I called back. Yesterday, when I talked to the representative, this particular person told me they couldn’t do that. She said they will have to wait until they get the washer part.

    If they already have two parts, they should fix what should be done instead of waiting. That part that I was a little disgusted with. Another thing I'm not quite sure on is the refer a friend 'cause I get so many different people that answer. One has given me the wrong website and then the website was free. Also, when I give information to a friend, they can't put anything in it. But the last rep I talked with gave me information and I was able to type a person's email in there and send it to that person. I have had two people that I referred and they had gone through and been approved. Additionally, about the lady that referred me, I haven't received the gift card for that. I should have had three gift cards and I haven't gotten anything from AHS.

    But everything else, I've been pleased with. As far as the plumbing company when they came out, it was just excellent. The ones they couldn't repair, AHS went right on it. One company had given me a permit for two weeks from the date. So, I called American Shield back and they went right on and gave another permit. It was just perfect. That’s why I say I'm really satisfied with everything.

    Frank's Appliance Repair came out and fixed a leak I had in my refrigerator. They also fixed the leak that was in my washer. Then something happened with the oven and it can't be fixed. None of the burners would light. American Home Shield said they are going to send me a check within 21 days. A couple years ago, American Home Shield replaced my dishwasher, and they just sent me one. I'm very happy I have the American Home Shield. I don't know what I'd do without it now. I've had it for a few years now and it's great. If something breaks down, I'm like, "Okay. If they can't fix it, they can't. But if they can, they will." So it's very well worth it to me. I've recommended American Home Shield to a lot of people.

    American Home Shield's website is fine. I like it. I do a lot of stuff online. I've made claims before and the contractors came out. Some of the stuff they couldn't fit, but some of the stuff they could. The people at Frank's were really nice. We had a guy from Lawton a couple years ago who wasn't efficient. I didn't hold it against him. He was a nice guy, but these guys from Frank's were on top of things. The lady that does their scheduling stayed on top of things with me and let me know if they were gonna make it when we got the parts in. There were a couple of times I got an email saying that the parts were in, so I let them know, and they said, "Well, some of your parts are in, but we don't have them all." So when they got them all, she let me know, and then they scheduled me as soon as we could get it together. I really like them.

    There was a loose venting pipe that was causing condensation inside the AC unit and creating a rust situation. Anthony, the tech was fantastic. He had good communication skills and he explained everything he did. He fixed the venting pipe, cleaned up, and checked the system to make sure that the system wasn't rusting anywhere else. He gave me some tips to understand the system better.

    A home warranty is great to have. I do object a little bit though to the $100 fee upfront. Most AC calls in this area are about $85, so the $100 initial fee is really not in step with AC people in this area. Additionally, I've had to call AHS about a couple of things and the procedure sometimes would be I have to do this, this, and this. But overall, I just had to be patient and wait.

    The AC unit was completely down but fortunately for me, Metro Air Services came through and they fixed it. It was done nicely. I'm very appreciative of the guys that came by. They were young, but they were very professional. At first, I think that they did not know the diagnosis. When they came the second time, which was fine with me, they got the job done.

    The only problem I had with American Home Shield was the pricing. I had to pay out of pocket for the air conditioner. But I was excited having someone come over and fix it even though I pay a lot more than I thought I would pay. I had to pay $780 but I was excited that my room is cool. Having the warranty is a very good idea. It comes in handy. If the out of pocket won't have to be so high, it will be more convenient.

    It was inconvenient that AHS had three different technicians from three different companies come out to my house. The first person they sent out only came to check the stove and I never heard from him again. They then sent a second person who diagnosed it, ordered the part, and came back within a week to fix it. The third person was supposed to fix my microwave and when he came out, he checked out the equipment and he hasn't come back yet. Then AHS dispatched someone else out after that but he didn't come out to fix it. It was more like he did the same thing as the other tech did and he hasn't been back yet. He's still waiting on the part. So in total, I'd be ending up with five appointments, which requires me to be at home instead of being at work at that time.

    I have a brand-new Frigidaire dishwasher that was purchased in February of 2020, and one time, it wouldn't run through a cycle. The technician came out the next day and looked at it. It took him 15 minutes, and he said that the motor had gone out. The repair company ordered the part, and between them ordering the part and coming back to install it, it was six business days. I was impressed that they called me on Saturday morning and said, "Your part came in last night. We can come install it this afternoon if you want," which I was really surprised. Usually, a lot of them don't work on Saturdays. I called them on a Monday, and by that Saturday, they came to install it. They were cool. The technician was very professional. He asked me for some towels, because he had to run it through some type of cycle without closing the door. He didn't wanna get water on the floor. I would definitely recommend American Home Shield to friends.

    Our air conditioner died and American Home Shield was gonna replace it. I had the option of either getting them to do it or getting a buyout. I wanted to compare the prices to see what would be the best thing for us so I called to request the buyout and that experience was not good. The first person who I talked to didn't know what he was doing. He made a mistake with our paperwork and that cost us a few days of processing time. That was on a Friday. I called back on a Monday and the person who I spoke to then was very competent and recognized the mistake and fixed it. But then I was in a queue to get the price or the buyout amount. They said it would take 24 to 48 hours. I called back at 47 hours which was one hour short and they said that they didn't have it. I called the next day and the next day and the next day, and they still didn't have it.

    Finally, I got someone who transferred me to the actual bio department, and then I had an answer within 10 minutes. We were waiting all that time to find out the amount, when realistically, it could have just taken a little bit of time. I understand that the buyout department was busy, but that's a little crazy.

    We lived up in Estrella Mountain for a few years and had American Home Shield for three years there. We moved and we had to get a different company, but since we've been in this house in 2017, we’ve had them here. We had a microwave repair done recently and the repair company was very accommodating. They had to order a part and it took a few days, but that worked out just fine. On the other hand, we've had an issue with our air conditioner. It went out on Sunday and I have an elderly person living with me that’s got an autoimmune disease.

    I called American Home Shield and told them it was very urgent that I get it fixed. When we first called, we talked to a person who said she put notes in for an expedited situation and that they would call us within 30 minutes. They didn't call us within 30 minutes. We called them back, and they said, “Well, now it's a four-hour window.” That was at 8 o'clock in the evening, so that’d make it midnight before somebody would get ahold of us. Nobody called us then, so we called the contractor on the next morning, which is a Monday. They said they couldn't get out here before Wednesday, and they said, “Call your American Home Shield. See if they'll expedite it through some other company or something.”

    We called AHS back, and they were not accommodating at all. The rep would not help us one bit. He said he was gonna make a note and send an email to the company, hoping that there also was a cancellation, they could send somebody out earlier. We never heard anything though, so we're still waiting. American Home Shield is supposed to bring somebody out late this afternoon, but I'm not pleased. Phoenix was 110 degrees today. American Home Shield needs to understand that if your air conditioner goes out in an area like Phoenix, Arizona and it's in the middle of the summer, they need to get somebody that's gonna be there within the same day or provide next day service instead of getting somebody that's gonna be four days out.

    I had the same issue when I lived up in Estrella and my air conditioning went out. I ended up calling an outside contractor and having it repaired without even processing a claim because they couldn't get anybody out there and it was gonna take four days. It was during the middle of the summer when it was 110 degrees out, and I couldn't wait. I couldn't live there and didn't have any other place to go.

    The folks with Heritage Air were really kind and they did the best they could. We were without AC for five days while my elderly parents live with us and my daughter had covid so it was such a beating of a week. We were very relieved when they finally were able to get us up and running again. They were tidy. I didn't feel like our house had been chased as we've had some of those. It was a quality company that AHS sent out instead of some fly-by.

    We've had several experiences previously that have not been great that we have had to dicker back and forth with AHS. The technicians that they send out couldn't care less. They're strictly there to check a box and that's it. We've had some really bad plumbers. The refrigerator that's presently out is less than four years old. I spent the entire November all the way through to the middle of January to get the refrigerator right. I had to go the entire holiday season where I was hosting 26 people and had a little Christmas party for my daughter and all of her little friends without the refrigerator.

    On top of that, AHS wagged us around. This is our fourth ticket in three years. We've lost all of our food more than once and the fight with AHS over that was absurd. We got a much smaller refrigerator than we previously had and it was either that or we had to pay the $7,000 difference. But we've been with AHS for 12 years so there's bound to be some not great experiences. We kind of justify the bad experiences for the few times that we thank God for AHS. To have that investment protected to where we pay a $75 service fee as opposed to having hundreds and possibly thousand dollars' worth of repair unexpectedly is great. We see it as a savings account. It's a monthly thing that we contribute to.

    A contractor came out for a microwave. The fan was still working, but it wasn't heating and we had some issues with it sparking. They had everything available to make the repairs. They had to swap out two different things so they took it apart right there in the kitchen, swapped out two pieces and put it back. It took them an hour and we had no problems since.

    However, I've had American Home Shield's contractor come out twice to address a dishwasher that has not been repaired sufficiently. Also, they've sent somebody out to address an issue with our clothes washer, and that particular one did not get resolved. Somebody came out, looked at a few things, and it still isn't resolved today. We were out $100 for somebody coming out so I was not pleased with that one. If somebody said, "Would you recommend American Home Shield for day-to-day repairs on items in your house," I would say no. If they said, "Would you have it as a policy against something major, like your air conditioner going out," I would say yes.

    The air conditioner went out, and Prayco came out twice. The first time, we called them out and they said that the tech fixed something, but it may be a band-aid because something froze up, and you kind of have to wait till it falls out to see if it burns out the motor. So, a couple of days went by, and it went out again. The tech said that was what the issue was. So, he came out and fixed that.

    It's pretty simple to do claims to American Home Shield as far as going online and submitting them. My husband and I don't know how to fix anything. That's not our forte. So, it will be very expensive if we do not have AHS. For me, and where we are with our skill set in that department, it's pretty necessary, even though they have some stuff that's not covered. It does cover some of those small things that you can go somewhere else and spend hundreds of dollars. Still, there are some things that I think should be covered given the price. We have other friends that know how to fix a leak, so I don't think AHS is beneficial for them because the major stuff that they would probably have issues with that they couldn't fix on their own wouldn't be covered.

    I waited a week and a half for a technician to come when the dishwasher wouldn't drain. American Home Shield said that there weren't enough technicians around. But it was great once the technician came out. He did quick troubleshooting and had the part in his truck. He replaced it and off he went. But I had some problems with my refrigerator that I've had people out here five different times for the same thing. They kept saying they were gonna replace it but they kept fixing and waiting for parts so that made me a little bit dissatisfied. But over the years, AHS has replaced the air conditioning unit, the pump on the pool spa, this refrigerator work, and now the dishwasher so I'm satisfied.

    I am very dissatisfied. American Home Shield refused the repair for my plumbing issue. They claimed the pipe was burst because of ice accumulation in the line. Frozen pipe. Because that's not covered under their policy, they refused the repair. The plumber could do it himself for $300. I told him, “Thank you very much, but forget it. I'll do it myself.”

    I thought that he could have written up the request differently to allow it to be repaired, or could have said, “Hey, it's not covered because of this. I can do it for X amount,” but a lot cheaper than what he said. His whole approach was more of he didn't want to do it, and therefore wrote it up as he did, and then said that AHS would not cover it, therefore he wouldn't go and do it unless I paid him. I can't say I'm overly floored with him either. But definitely not with American Home Shield.

    I also have another service order for a dishwasher to be repaired. The contractor is a Sears technician. He gave me an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. window. For most working people, to give up eight hours to wait around for a person to show up is ludicrous. Four hours is bad enough. 8:00 to 12:00 or 12:00 to 4:00 is a usual response. But 8:00 to 5:00 is just outrageous. AHS is also not easy to get ahold of. I usually go through the 877 number and it's usually transferred to some call center in the Philippines. I found that that call center is overall not very helpful.

    The stove was not heating and the vendor said the board needed to be replaced. But my home is 18 years old and so are all of my appliances. That part is no longer being made so American Home Shield has to replace my stove as well as my washing machine. My appliances are LG, and there's no LG choice on their shopping site so you can elect to have a check distributed out to you, which is what I did. I’m waiting for the checks and I'm hoping to get the check by Monday. I probably won't so I've already decided that if I don't have it, I'll put it on a credit card until those checks come in, then pay my credit card.

    I did have this difficulty with American Home Shield here in this house in Florida. They assigned a vendor to come out but the vendor never came out for three days. The technician wasn't even responding and the process was to wait until American Home Shield heard from the vendor before they could petition to get a different vendor. I ended up canceling that particular work order because I wasn't getting anywhere. Timeliness is important and getting quality people out to make the repairs is important too.

    JED Plumbing came when I was having the issue of running water in my toilet. It was leaking inside the commode. The plumber changed the flush wall and the gasket under the fill wall. At that time, the problem was resolved. I could not recreate the problem in front of him and he told me it was gonna fix the problem. But after a couple of days, once in a while, the water keeps on flushing out inside the commode. The issue was not fixed.

    The other problem was when he was fixing the issue, he was sitting on my toilet seat and opening the top of the canister and fixing it. If you sit on the toilet seat which is made up of plastic and you move a little bit, it might break the hinges off it. It was a slow-close toilet seat and after he left, I figured that the hinge was broken and it banged down on people when they try to close it. He could not fix anything, rather he broke something and left. I'm very dissatisfied with what happened and I didn't have the time to call them and figure things out. The kind of vendors American Home Shield has is not very good. They should know what kind of vendors they partner with.

Then the third guy came out. He looked at one, and there was an actual problem with one. He said they're gonna order a part and someone will call me, and no one's ever called me.

    We're all busy and it's a problem for me to stay home for three separate appointments. It's inconvenient because they don't tell you, "I'll be there at 1 o'clock." They tell you, "I'll be there from noon to 5:00." So, you're watching your doorbell and your phone. You're trying to clear your calendar for three to five hours, and that's very difficult. But the people who came out we're very good. As far as getting someone out here and getting good service, I rate that much higher than dollars. In this world, I can never find a good contractor.

Other than that, it's a well-working air conditioner.

    The drum of the washer was making a noise and it was smoking. I got an email from the company and we set up a virtual appointment to where they did a Zoom call to try to diagnose it before the technician came out so he would have the parts on hand. The guy came and knew exactly what it was. A couple of holders in the back that has three prongs on it broke and it had the tub unbalanced. It was rubbing against the rubber and that was where the smoke and the smell were being created. He said it's a normal maintenance thing and it happens with the front load washer. He was done in less than an hour and was very professional.

    However, I had another issue where my pool pump went out in March and American Home Shield took way too long to come to a resolution. I put in a ticket that time and they sent a company out. The guy told me exactly what it was and that he was going to order a part. He said there's been a shortage on pool parts because of the freeze that we had in February and it was gonna be at least three weeks before he gets the part so I said okay.

    About the third week in April, I called AHS to try to get an update. They said that they called the company and the company was not calling them back. This went on for three months to get a resolution. I ended up having to pay for another ticket for a company to come out. The guy diagnosed it and said that it was cracked and American Home Shield would not cover it. I wondered why the guy back in March told me about ordering a part for it. This second guy advised me that before that first guy even came out, AHS was not going to cover it and I just need to cancel it and pay for a pump. I went ahead and paid for it out of my pocket, which I still don't agree with, just to get it fixed. I got more information from somebody that's a subcontractor from American Home Shield than I got from the company that I'm paying monthly for.

    In previous years, I had one or two experiences that were not covered, and understood about that, so I won't hold that against American Home Shield. But this one takes the cake because I was doing more follow up than a customer should and I was getting more upset as far as calling back and not getting any resolution to it. The customer service was offshored and so I never knew if it was a language barrier with those folks, but everyone promised me that they would get it resolved and they would get back to me, and no one did.

    I even tried to contact the CEO and look for his email address but I could not find it. I posted something on Twitter but I still haven't gotten a response back. Then nobody did any kind of follow up with the first company and that was their failed commitment. But American Home Shield should make do with that promise and send somebody else who could actually do it. I'm dissatisfied and I'm looking for another company to go to.

Even American Home Shield couldn't get in contact with them.

    The company American Home Shield gave me this time was an excellent company to work with. The compressor went out on my air conditioner. When I called them, they told me it would probably be three days to a week before they may get a compressor in. But they got one in in two days. They called me right away and told me that they had a compressor, and the technician could come out. They waited for me and they came out yesterday, put the compressor in, checked everything, and we got air. They were easy to communicate with. I like working with that company and I told AHS that. That compressor cost $5,000 so it's definitely worth having American Home Shield because it only cost me $450 to replace the freon.

Saving $15 isn't that great a deal when I'm paying 75 a month for insurance and I'm on Social Security. AHS should cover more stuff but other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with AHS.

    Our kitchen sink was clogged and I raised a request with AHS and A-1 was assigned. There was no difficulty in the claim process with AHS. But the only thing was it got delayed a bit. It took about four days to get the service. The tech came in but he was not able to open the drain pipe. We tried using the actual pipe and then he used the 50-foot and then it cleared the clog.

    Easy phone call, and the next thing I knew, I had a call from this repair company. The tech was professional, on time, got right to his work, didn't waste time, and pleasant. He replaced the dryer's bearings. What he fixed did not totally silence the machine, but it is as good as it was two years ago noise-wise.

    Having a home warranty is peace of mind on the backside. It’s one thing to stash up each month. You don't have to completely just create a separate account to fill it, do it yourself. We've paid it for quite some years now, off and on, and we can go two years not having a single incident. But then we have that big thing that happens like our AC and compressor has gone out. We pay our service call and go from there. It's just that sometimes it takes days to hear back. We're uncomfortable at home while we're dealing with it. But with our recent claim, the plumber came out and took care of the issue. He did a great job. Come to find out he was one of my wife's old friend’s son that's grown up now. So, that might have been a huge deal.

    The first tech didn't clean the unit outside properly. He didn't bother with it. He replaced the Freon but the fan wasn't completely kicking on and he just ignored it. So, we had to send in a second claim and the second tech fixed the unit. With a home warranty, you're able to have someone check your problem out and not worry about the price.

    Our air conditioners are getting kind of old. So, they've had to be serviced a few times. Somebody came out recently, and there was an electrical part that had gone bad that they replaced. They did a good job. The only thing with American Home Shield is it is sometimes tricky that we have multiple air conditioning units. Unless we specify that more than one of them is having a problem, then their service tech can only do one at a time, which can be a little problematic with having more than one unit. In the past, we had that issue where our home had multiple units. We didn't realize that we had to specify that more than one unit needed to be serviced. So, there was one time we had to do multiple service claims to get the issue resolved. But other than that, it's been fine.

    My problem was diagnosed incorrectly back in May. AHS sent the pool guy out. That's the one they should have sent, but he didn't know what to do. So then they sent an electric guy. Because the electric man was not a pool guy, we went in circles. I threw in the towel and had my issue fixed by somebody else. But it was never addressed correctly. I'm not going to pursue it any further as it's too complicated.

    Sometimes customers don't know what they're talking about and they cannot correctly identify things. So we need the techs to fill in a lot of the blanks. Sometimes they can't and that's understandable. But they're very polite and they did the best they could. The electric guy answered my questions and spoke with me for a while. He was very nice. My experience with AHS has always been good.

    Recently the microwave wasn't working. The tech was very friendly and professional. But I had the worst experience with the air conditioner claim process. It was in the middle of summer and the first technician took almost seven days to show up. After that, it took them 10 days to come back with a quote. So, for 14 days, our home upstairs was at 100 degrees Fahrenheit and we were not able to use the whole upstairs in Texas. And just because I had insurance, I hoped they would fix it. But after 14 days, they came back and asked for $2,000, and that wasn't enough.

    So, that technician charged for $2,000, and then I called another technician I paid from out of pocket to come and look at it, and that technician said, "There's nothing wrong with your air conditioner. Your Freon was low, so I filled it. You don't have to do anything." So, I would have been ripped off $2,000 by American Home Shield's contractor. I cannot have an insurance which takes 14 days in a summer to just look at an AC and tell me what to fix. That's the main reason I decided to change my insurance.

    With small things, like a $100 or $50 repair, AHS was good with it. But when it came to the big one, they messed it up. Because there was dishonesty with their contractor as well as their customer experience. If I want to talk to somebody about not getting resolved, there's no way to do that. It just stops at the first person who picks the phone from their call center. The email I need to write to a customer service, there is no way to communicate other than calling their call center and that's so specific. So, it was a mess. I keep insurance for the big ones and it didn't work out. I cannot ever imagine going back to AHS. And the data proves that, in my neighborhood, everybody is with Choice or some other insurance company.

I wanted the piece of paper so I can just sit down and look through it. They said they would send me a physical packet of the warranty and they haven’t sent me that. All I got is a postcard thing in the mail and my name was misspelled on that as well. I was reassured they were gonna send me the paperwork and it hasn't happened.

    We had some work done just recently. I put the job in. And that night, they called me and said, “Hey, we're gonna have somebody out to you in the morning.” The guy came up front, took care of my issues, walked away. They took care of the issue. I specifically asked the guy that I spoke to at American Home Shield to make it a note that if we have AC service, that I would like that company that I dealt with yesterday to be contacted because they were fast. They did beautifully. The service call was simple enough with no parts. He took care of it. I wish AHS would cover more cost of the Freon. But it is what it is. I've had it when we had parts changed and I recognize that it saved me some money. I experienced that the last couple years where it was a cost savings.

    We didn't enjoy the experience we had with this one company. The guy showed up to do work and said, “I got to do Freon. You need to pay me in cash or a cashier's check or money order.” I said, “Okay. Last time you guys dealt with us, we gave you a check or a credit card.” “Well, we're not doing that anymore.” I'm not up to the point, when I'm paying for a service, for somebody telling me that I need to leave the house to get a money order or cash. So I requested that I never use that company again. That's the kind of stuff that's extremely aggravating to me about it.

    If that guy yesterdar asked us to reach in our pocket for cash or leave the house and go get him a money order, we would’ve sent him away. AHS would have to send me somebody else or just cancel and prorate my year. Last year, it took them a week to finally come in and see us in the middle of the summer with no AC. Luckily, I've got three units so I had parts of the house that I can cool off in. But then, it was another two weeks for the part, and another week after they got the part for somebody to come out. I was extremely unhappy with Total Air Care.

    My Kitchen Aid microwave had an electrical fault and blew out in March 2021 (Toll Brothers). The initial review stated I overcooked my food and was my fault (preposterous). Second review stated the panel was faulty and needed replacement. With numerous calls still no solution. The company meant to fix was to receive the parts back in April they and I can't get a hold of the company. If you can't fix then replace unit is the mantra. That is obviously false. Yet every month subscription fee is dutifully paid. I am going to soon bite the bullet as it seems I would be better off paying for my microwave replacement. Never AHS!

    The main water pipe comes in through the concrete block into the basement and from there, it's a single copper tube. It has a nozzle on it - the main shut off. From there, it goes directly to the hot water heater and the cold and so on. There's a valve in there that controls the water pressure in that line and it was making a racket. It's not supposed to do that. The techs changed the valve and reset the pressure to the maximum which we asked them to do.

    I've had good interactions with four people who have come through American Home Shield. There were two guys who had been to our place before and they had serviced our heating and air conditioning system a couple of times. We called American Home Shield and they sent those techs out. They determined that the whole system HVAC system was gone. So they installed a whole new inside and outside HVAC system. These were two really nice guys. I keep asking them every time I see them, "Why are you still doing this?” But they apparently love their business and they're gonna keep going as long as they can do it.

    Through AHS, I've gotten a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and HVAC system. When we've gotten trouble, I go through AHS and they contact the techs. Once AHS calls them, the techs are right on the job and are calling me right away. I initially started out years and years ago paying $55 a month. I now pay AHS 73-something. It's well worth it because I've had a refrigerator go out on me with all the food and no place to put it. That was a bit of a hassle though as there was a little language problem with their reps who couldn't understand what I was trying to get across to them. I finally got a supervisor. I ended up going to Lowe’s and buying one, and they reimbursed me for what they thought I should get. I paid $400 over what they gave me but I don't complain about that. I know they have their parameters. I just wanted a better refrigerator so I got one.

    I've also gotten a $4,000 HVAC system. I know what I’ve paid in every month, but by the same token, if I hadn't had that, that all would have been out of pocket. I'm a retiree, and I have a fixed income and no savings. So if something like that happens to me, it's a tragedy because I have to try to figure out where I'm going to get the money. Overall, I've had great service. It just depends on whether or not you think $73 a month is too much money.

    AHS is quick to respond to my needs. The water outflow of my AC got blocked and the unit was overflowing in my attic. I called in the afternoon and the next day, the tech was here. Adam, the tech, was professional and he showed me where the problem was. He fixed it by adding another tube and making the outflow more elevated so it wouldn't overflow. He said, “If ever it overflows, the AC has got a safety valve. Once it overflows, it will automatically shut off.” He said the problem with the outflow was that it was lower than the valve itself so it never backed up to the safety valve. Having a warranty makes a lot of difference. I would have paid a lot more than my copayment if I didn't have one. My son was the one who has benefited more from this warranty. Several times, his AC broke down. His dishwasher broke down as well and since it was old, AHS just decided to replace it.

It gave all the information of that contractor including their name (US Air Conditioning and Heating), address and phone number where they can be reached. The contractor called and texted me. They came out to look at the issue and told me it was two different parts. They replaced four of those and it started cooling off when they left. We went out and when we came back, it never got colder than 75.

    We went out to look at the air conditioner again and the fan wasn't running, but you could hear it running. It was humming like it was trying to kick over and it never did. I called American Home Shield back and said the air conditioner wasn't working still. They said they'd send somebody back on Monday to check it. They did and the contractor said it was the fan motor that needed to be replaced. They replaced that and everything was good.
