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.

American Home Shield's service is great. When I had some electronic switch that wasn't working, I just applied for a claim on the website and it was very easy.

My washing machine stopped working. It was stuck with water in it. The tech was there for about five seconds, and he knew exactly what the issue was. He gave it a temporary fix, and then came back with a part within a day and a half and fixed it completely. It was good. It was easy and super simple.

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. Because I wasn't impressed with some of the ones that they wanted to send my way. I was on the phone with them and I had them pull up the names. I looked at their ratings and their locations. Some of them were not even anywhere near where I live. Other than that, American Home Shield's website was user-friendly. My recent claim was a bathroom exhaust fan that wasn't working. The tech replaced the motor and did a great job. I would recommend that contractor and use them again.
Thanks for reaching out to provide that feedback. I am glad the contractors followed through with the appointment that was set but happier for you that your issue has been resolved.

I've been very pleased with American Home Shield. I had an issue with the ice maker recently and it's the second time we've had to have it fixed. We've also had work done on the dishwasher, the refrigerator, and the washing machine. All that has been very good. Burton's Motherlode Appliance is excellent. They come on time and get the job done. I would definitely recommend American Home Shield. My rates have gone up but everything seems to be going up, so I still think it's worthwhile rather than having to replace appliances. I wouldn't go without it.

I recently had an appliance worked on by Hot Shot Appliance Repair. The tech took care of the job as quickly as possible and was gone. But AHS's fee keeps going up and up. I started at 40 something dollars and now I’m up to $50. And I’ve had very little happen to the house so I'm out a lot of money. I tried to cancel once and the lady scared me to death out of doing it so I continued with AHS.

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.

We've been with American Home Shield for two and a half years now and we used them twice. They helped us both times. One time they replaced the whole AC unit for our sunroom. Recently, I didn't have AC upstairs. The compressor went. The contractor said they had to get an okay from AHS and order the compressor. And they did. AHS sent the compressor, and the contractor put it in. It's working perfect. They've done a good job. I would recommend AHS.

We love American Home Shield service. I've referred about four customers to them. Recently, somebody came over and looked at an appliance and said, “Well, don’t use it. I’ll be back. I don't work Saturdays, but I'll come if the product comes in.” I said, “Do you want me to go pick it up somewhere?” He said, “No, I’ll go get it.” On Friday, he called me and said it came. On Saturday, he was here between 8:00 and 10:00, and fixed it. He let me know everything that he was gonna do when he did it, and it worked fine. The guy was Johnny-on-the-spot. I’ve been very happy. You got to know with American Home Shield that you're not going to get a fix that day most likely. You have to wait for the product, and then they do it. But they were really good. I call on the machine to file my claims, and I usually just take whatever they say.

When I call American Home Shield, the responses are good. There's not a very long delay to get whatever I need to be fixed dealt with. The service technician who came once for the water heater and another time for the sink was very efficient and prompt. The only issues I have are the expenses. The water heater cost me 400 plus some dollars out of my pocket. Also, there's a deductible of $100 that I have to pay. Then after that, the technician says, "Well, my price for labor is not totally covered by AHS. So you have to cover the difference."

We picked American Home Shield because I worked with a property management company previously, and I had a lot of experience submitting claims through American Home Shield for a variety of homes. And it was a positive experience then. Recently, our washing machine was not working. I did a livestream with the company beforehand, before she sent somebody out, just so the technician could see it. It was having a couple of problems. 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.
The company that American Home Shield sent out was quick, easy to work with, and professional. It was very timely. And they were able to resolve everything very easily. My husband and I were both working when the technician came. He came in. He had to leave to get some parts, and he just let us know what was going on. Neither of us had time to sit around with him, which was even better, because he just did his job and let us go about our day.
Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with the work done.

The tech that AHS sent tried to un-jam the garbage disposal, but that didn't work. So then, he ended up replacing it. He was friendly, answered all my questions and did a great job. I've also had the disposal replaced twice before. This one came with a stopper and this was the only one time that they came with a stopper. So that was pretty nice.

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 certainly hate to hear that you have received less than satisfactory service. I will follow up with you as soon as possible in an effort to assist with unresolved issues. I've just sent you an email. Thanks for your patience.

Service Request Date: 08/14/2021
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 am very disappointed in the lack of communication and response and I am very upset that I am paying for something that should have never happened and would not have if American Home Shield had done the job correctly the first time.

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 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.

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.

A/C Doc Heating & Cooling was wonderful. They were very professional, did everything they were supposed to do, and did a good job. They said that the unit was messing up bad, so if they fix it, it’d go back out in less than 30 days and it'd be best to replace it. It came out good, and I'm very satisfied. I told some of my friends about American Home Shield and the people that put my system in my house.
I never thought I would find a place like American Home Shield. I used to have another home warranty when I first bought my home, and I didn't like it. However, I found a place that I've recommended a lot of people to come to them, because they're very honest and outgoing with the product that they cover in a home. Some people don't cover a lot of stuff, but they do. They've improved a lot.

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.

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.

My water heater wasn't heating up. I called American Home Shield, told them and they set me up with the plumbers who then came out a few days afterward. They told me that my water heater was all right. The thermostat needed a new adjustment on it and one of my pumps that went to the water heater wasn't working. The plumber got all that fixed. I'd recommend AHS. They're good.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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. Thanks for nothing AHS, I'll find another company that puts me first, real soon!

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 red light that comes on to my thermostat. When that red light comes on, my whole system shuts down. The people from AC Wizard are coming out again. The tech is trying to get out there as quick as he can because I've got two people in the home that’s got heart trouble. He is really narrowing it down and getting very close to what’s wrong with the air conditioning unit. AC Wizard is great. They worked like dogs trying to find out what's going on with the unit. They are doing the best that they know how to do, and they are really, really good technicians. The air conditioner has got a board on it that the tech replaced last week.

I subscribed to American Home Shield, so I called them when we had a water heater leak and it was semi-difficult. The hot water heater and the expansion tank were covered, but I would like to see an immediate response, an immediate fix, and job appropriate charges. Master Plumbing came out and they charged too much money. They have a flat charge, so if it costs you $200 or $600, they still charge you $400.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I called AHS to submit a claim because the cooktop was broken. The service was well-organized. The person came one visit, diagnosed and found out the problem. The second time, he had the part ready to install. Fairly simple and transparent to me. I would recommend AHS. It's a very responsible and dependable company.

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.

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.

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. So, I'm not happy with that customer service either.

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.

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.

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.
We do appreciate your feedback and apologize that this issue has caused you to cancel your warranty. It is not our intent to cause a difficult experience, and hopes that you would consider joining the AHS team in the near future. Have a great day!

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.

There was a loose venting pipe that was causing condensation inside the AC unit and creating a rust situation. Anthony, the tech was fantastic.

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.

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.

The AC unit was not getting cold. I called Home Shield to do a claim. The tech came in here and talked to me, and let me know that he was gonna have to report the problem to Home Shield, and that Home Shield would get back in touch with me to let me know what was going on. But Home Shield didn't get back in touch with me. Somebody came for the repair though. He told me to call him back if something will happen in so many days, but so far, it’s running.

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.

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. I'm very satisfied with everything over the years. I'm gonna hang on to it for now.

It was a leak, and it was a little oily so there was condensation on the piping that came from the AC unit. But it was running, and it was very hot so it wasn't cooling to its normal capacity. American Home Shield submitted a ticket to the first contractor but they said they didn't get anything. I had a work order number, so I called American Home Shield. They got in touch with another contractor and within 10 minutes, that contractor called me and came out the next morning at 7:00. They were upfront. They made sure there were no leaks, the Freon was full, and that everything was running good with the furnace. They were thorough.

Renegade Electric had to replace the GFCI in the garage. The electrician came out here, identified the problem, listened to what I had to say, then fixed it. He was out within 15 minutes. The contractors prior to that, I wouldn’t recommend them anymore. They misdiagnosed the issue and also reported the wrong thing. It ended up being denied so I had to put in another claim. Renegade Electric came out and fixed it right away. I would recommend American Home Shield. I used them when I had a house up in Reno too. There was some electrical issues and they were able to get that fixed. It's not perfect but it's definitely worth it. I’ve gotten one major thing fixed. But it seems like the last thing that I was trying to get fixed isn't going to work. The AC unit in the attic needs to be re-leveled and new straps added. Apparently, it’s not something that American Home Shield’s gonna cover.

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're still without an air conditioner, by the way. But then the American Home Shield contractor has been phenomenal.

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.

We had a problem with the heater and American Home Shield sent a guy out of Nogales. He was the friendliest guy and was all over it. This last time, it took a bit to get the air conditioner fixed. The tech bypassed something to make it work, so it wasn't a problem in 115-degree heat. But they had a problem getting the part. We called him to find out about the part and he said, "Yeah, it just hasn't come in yet. It's supposed to be in on Friday and I will be out there that day to put it in." Everybody has been good. I'm paying $75 a month. If I added that all up, it's probably what it would cost me to get my issues fixed. But it spreads the bill out over the whole time too and it doesn't impact me all at one time, which makes it nice.

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 compressor outside was turning and I could hear it turned on, but it wasn't blowing any air. Metropolitan Heating & Air Conditioning was able to address the issue quickly. They even came on Sunday, so I didn't have to wait long at all. The only thing is I'm having issues with my stove and microwave and the company that AHS has sent is very incompetent. They haven't been able to complete the work for almost a month. I spoke to AHS several times, and they won't change the company.
I did hear back from the company. They're supposed to be coming on Friday. I asked them if they could send a different tech and they were like, "No, that's our senior tech," and they wouldn't address the issue. The tech that they sent refused to wear his mask properly. Also, one thing I didn't like about AHS is that, last year, they raised the prices and didn't tell anybody. The only way I knew it went up was because I have automatic draft out of my account and I saw this double increase that they took out of my account.

It’s really hard to get ahold of AHS and get some things done. It also took forever to get the payouts for the dishwasher. Also, when Pruitt's Plumbing came out recently, they didn't really do anything. They just cut a hole in the ceiling and showed me what the issue was. Since AHS doesn't cover any water softeners, I pretty much had to fix it myself.

With a home warranty, if anything major comes up, you know how much it's gonna cost to either get it fixed or replaced, which is great. The thing that I like about American Home Shield in particular is that you can combine related items on a single call. I had a couple of issues with some of other contractors that came out, but overall, I'm satisfied. When there was a problem with one of the knobs on the oven and an issue with the microwave door not closing, the repair people were out in a couple of business days. They explained the problem really well and did a good job resolving it. They were able to repair that the same day where I had to replace the microwave and I’m still waiting for that to be available to install.

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.

My downstairs AC unit was not cooling. Since the guy had access to my backyard, he was able to get started early and diagnose the problem before I got home. Once I got there, he showed me the bad part and told me that they were going to replace it. Once he replaced it, he hung around for about another 20 minutes to make sure that it began to cool. Recently, the dishwasher was not draining and that claim went well too. So far, I have not had a bad experience with the vendors that American Home Shield has sent for repairs. It's a smooth process.

When my AC wasn’t blowing cold air anymore, a repair company came out and the guys were very professional, assertive, and helpful.

They replaced my old unit with a little one, and I was like, “Is that thing gonna cool down my house?” They were like, “No, it’s better. It's built better.” They told me everything and then they waited to make sure that all the Freon was working right. They were good and the day they installed the unit was the day the heatwave was supposed to start, so it was right on time. I was satisfied.
My aunt, me, and six other cousins who own homes have American Home Shield. I've had it for some years now, and it’s easy to submit a claim. It's crazy because it's changed a lot. I learned about it through my cousin, and I know at least 20 people that have gotten it through me. At first, a lot of people was like, “You pay $1,000? What if nothing breaks?” I said, “Trust me, when it does break, it’s worth going through them instead of finding a plumber, or getting your cousin, or your friend who knows how to do stuff, and they screw it up.” I have my ups and downs, but it’s more on the positive stuff.

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.

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.

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.
