When the AC wasn't cooling off, the contractor that came out was pretty efficient and found out the problem was my Freon. They added it right then and I had to pay $250. They said AHS only paid for the $10 of the Freon. When you have insurance, the purpose is for them to help you, not to add more cost. And that appears to be the number one problem.

Service Max came out to replace the air conditioning unit. It just seized up. It tripped the breaker and it was done. The whole process took about six weeks because they had to order the replacement from American Home Shield. Service Max did an awesome job. As far as AHS, sometimes, their phone support line takes a really long time when you call in with a problem. But other than that, they've been really great.

My AC unit would not go below a certain temperature. At one point, my house was not getting cooler. The air was still blowing out and was on auto, but it wouldn't stop. It was a little cool, but it wasn't as cool as it should have been. A tech came within 24 hrs. He initially told me he may not be able to get to me until Thursday. But he called me on Wednesday and said he was in my neighborhood. He was gonna stop by and I'm glad he did because the weather was really hot here. It took him 15 to 20 minutes to do the work. He diagnosed the problem and replaced a part. I have American Home Shield for cases like this. If I didn't have it, I would have had to come out with more money.

American Home Shield has been really good. I've told a lot of people that if they don't have someone covering their stuff, they need to get with American Home Shield because I've had no issues with them. They've taken care of everything we've had a problem with. Recently, my air conditioner quit putting out any cold air. It was just a fan running. Myers Comfort Specialist of Montgomery came out and found a leak in the coil. They replaced it with a new one and it's cold in this house now. They seemed to know what they were doing and it didn't take that long for them to put the system in and get it back up online. However, I had to pay for the freon because it wasn't covered by American Home Shield which I did not quite understand. I was lucky because they only had to put five pounds of freon back in.

We had a policy with American Home Shield several years back in our other home. So when we moved here, we just thought to go back with them. Our water heater had just gone out. It had issues. They ended up having to replace the entire water heater. The contractor diagnosed it in one day. They then came out two days later to install it. And when they did, it took two hours. I was satisfied.

My AC unit was leaking through the attic ceiling. It was condensation. I called American Home Shield and they got someone out in a couple days. It would have been nice if there was some sort of emergency status available. A leaking through the ceiling is definitely urgent. I talked to someone on Monday, and they were able to get someone out Tuesday. They fixed it pretty quickly and did a good job. Overall, I'm pretty happy with American Home Shield.

My dishwasher had just quit working. The contractor came out, looked at it and it was obsolete. They couldn't get parts for it so they replaced it. The process was good. American Home Shield sent us some information to select the dishwashers from a list and we selected the dishwasher. Company came out to do the install, brought the dishwasher out, and I had a plumbing issue. The tech said the valve was rusted and he couldn't do the install. So then, we had a plumbing company come out and replace that valve, and then we called back and AHS rescheduled it with someone else because they couldn't reach the one contractor that was originally assigned. So then, that contractor came out and did the install.

I opened a service request on August 10th that included some electrical issues and a ceiling fan. The contractor worked very fine and fixed my electrical issues. And about the ceiling fan, he told me he will put some approval for the part, and once it gets approved, then he would come back and fix it. That was on the 10th. By this time, he has never communicated with me.
Then, I opened two times the follow-up request, and every time, the next day, it'll automatically disappear. I contacted customer care service today and they gave me some feedback that some of the parts from the ceiling fan are missing and which are not being covered by Home Shield. The electrical repair has been done perfectly but the ceiling fan, it's not.

We had a leak near the water heater, and then it ended up being from the toilet that was upstairs. I did a claim to American Home Shield and the process was easy and self-explanatory. The tech came out that same day. He observed the area and he immediately said, "Is there a toilet above here?" I said "Yes" and he went and checked that out. He replaced a ring and then, he tested it. He had to replace it again because there was something wrong with that one, and then everything was good. I've been fully satisfied with my claims to American Home Shield. I can just put in a claim and someone who knows how to fix it will come fix it.

The only issue I have is that if the contractor just contacts me to cancel, which has happened, American Home Shield won't assign somebody new until the company calls them. That can delay service for the customer. But other than that, when I had a plumbing issue, it was addressed well.

I ticked off the breakers on and off to make sure that it wasn't a breaker issue and the outside breaker was still functioning. At the same time, while we can run the AC through auto mode continuously, the house started to heat up in the late afternoon into the early evening. By the time I went to bed, it was 80 degrees. By the time we woke up, it was 84 degrees. The guy showed up from the repair shop next day. There was real good communication. He communicated when he first called us right before he came. He also communicated to turn off the air conditioner so that it was not on when he get here. As soon as he got there, he rang the bell and said to turn the air conditioner back on. We turned it back on and I followed him around the side of the house. The air conditioner is a big Trane. It's at least four and a half feet high. It made a noise, which is more noise that I’ve heard since the day before.
There's a fan system separate from the AC unit outside and that was going continuously but one of the them had issues. The fan was blowing internally upstairs, but it wasn't having any effect. The guy removed a panel. Once the machine made a noise, he looked at the wall, turned off the breaker on the wall outside, took off the panel and immediately pulled the capacitor. He went to his truck, put in a replacement capacitor, turned on the power, and it fired up. He put the panel back together and was done in 10 minutes. It was unbelievable. He knew exactly what he was doing. I was really pleased with the response time. Within 24 hours from the initial call, American Home Shield had someone out there. His level of knowledge and courtesy was very high. I’m a pretty big do-it-yourself guy and didn't know if American Home Shield would ever pay off. But I'm never getting rid of them. They'll be around forever.

The number one benefit of having a home warranty would be the convenience of getting good repair people. Recently, the drum on our dryer was stuck.

In my first claim, I called someone to replace a faucet from my laundry area as it was stuck. The plumber came, cut the drywall that had pipes underneath it, and replaced the faucet. After that, he told me that American Home Shield should be sending someone to fix the drywall that was cut. But that never happened, I hadn't heard from anybody, so I just fixed that myself. Recently, the air conditioning unit stopped working during the night and we just realized that because we saw the temperature going up. When we checked outside, it was not running. In the morning, I sent in a request and someone came quickly. The capacitor was not working and it was replaced, and everything was working after that.

My air conditioning wasn't working. It was running hot. I called American Home Shield to do a claim. The service guy was friendly and he got here in a timely manner. He replaced the capacitor, a motor, and another thing. He was knowledgeable. I didn't feel like I was being bamboozled. I have two small dogs. So, not having the AC working was a big concern for me. I was really not wanting to have to deal with buying a whole new air conditioning unit but the tech was able to replace those parts, which kept my air conditioning running. So, I was grateful for that. I've been with American Home Shield for more than 10 years ever since I bought my house, and I've only had to use their services a few times but whenever I do, the problem is taken care of. I recommend American Home Shield to anybody. I never had an issue with them. Whenever I have a question, they answered. As far as I'm concerned, they're a good company.

When we first scheduled the service for the icemaker, the guy came out and he replaced it. The icemaker worked okay until yesterday. It is not working again. I haven't received a response back. There's no way to get ahold of anybody on the phone or talk to anybody about the claim. It appears that I have to go back on AHS and pay again the $75 to have someone come out again. I’m kind of disappointed that now we're having to go through the same problem with the icemaker again.

There was some blockage in the AC system. Our external outlet for condensation was dripping constantly and we were trying to figure out what the issue was. The tech came and told us it was just algae buildup within the system and he cleared it out. It's working fine now. The tech was very respectful and he showed us what the issue was. He also gave us pointers on what to do to avoid that reoccurring and said it would mostly happen in the summer. All in all, the home warranty is a good thing to have because the cost when some of those things go off might be very expensive. Or you get to a situation where you get somebody that's not under warranty service that charge you an arm and a leg. It’s like an insurance, per se, and it gives you a sense of calm in case something happens, that that something is going to be taken care of. You just got to pay a deductible and the rest of it is taken care of by the warranty company.

The air conditioning issue we had got denied because it wasn't under the contract. I called American Home Shield and they said the issue was preexisting. But everything's gonna be preexisting because I've had the air conditioner since I moved into the house. How can I ever have an issue that would be okay for American Home Shield? They said they'd pay for some kind of liquid or fluid that the air conditioner needs but anything beyond that that’s mechanical would be deemed as preexisting. The people who sold you the AC unit can put you on a contract, but if you're not on contract with them, then anything that happens appears to be preexisting.
I'm dissatisfied that they didn't move through with my claim, but I'm not dissatisfied with the technician. The tech that was sent out from Temperature Tech's called me immediately and was very knowledgeable. And his professionalism was superior. He said I need a compressor but he did not want me to purchase a compressor from him because he felt like he could not guarantee that the compressor would resolve the problem. There could be other issues that are going on. I believed he was telling me the truth and that he wasn't misrepresenting anything to me just to try to make me buy something. Also, when I said to him, “Then why do I need American Home Shield?” he was quick to tell me why American Home Shield was a good option anyway. So I want to stay with American Home Shield and continue with this contract.

American Home Shield has some vendors that suck. They did a pool pump and the company they used was horrid. They said they do a full background check on their companies. But I told them, "Did you ever look at their Google reviews, there are 46 in all, 46 one-star reviews." Other than that, American Home Shield is okay. Their electrician vendor and appliance vendor were good.They sent us Big Al's and they did two repairs in the last few months. The first repair was replacing a door in an Electrolux refrigerator and it was four months to get the part. That wasn't their fault. American Home Shield wouldn't do anything other than wait for the part to come in. Big Al's also worked on the dishwasher that was broken. When looking for a policy, make sure you are familiar with the caps, what's covered and what's not covered. We've owned American Home Shield for a long time so we watched the policy scale down over the years.

I called American Home Shield and I told them my garbage disposal, microwave, dishwasher, oven light, and washing machine weren't working. They sent out Kenco for the appliances and SDL Plumbing for the garbage disposal. SDL came out a week ago and the tech got the garbage disposal to work. That same afternoon, Kenco came out and the tech fixed the dishwasher and the oven light. But he said that he wasn’t gonna even try to fix the microwave. It was built-in and he couldn't take it down. He told me I had to get somebody myself to come in, take it down, and put it on the counter, and then he'll come back and repair it.
Also, he said that the washing machine issue was a plumbing problem and that he would get back in touch with American Home Shield and let them know. When I called and talked to American Home Shield's rep, I had told the lady that the washing machine was backing up with water. That should have said something about a plumbing job but she sent out Kenco for it. I've paid two $75s -- one for SDL and one for Kenco -- and I don't think that I should pay another $75 for another plumber to come out and do the washing machine. I tried to explain to the gal that I talked to yesterday. They told me to call back tomorrow and that it evidently was a miscommunication with the lady who took my original work order. I don't think anyone is listening to me as the customer and trying to understand where I'm coming from and I'm very frustrated right now.

Having a call center in India isn't the best route for American Home Shield. Those people couldn't care any less if they would have tried. It was no concern to them that I had an active gas leak in my house. They asked me where in the house my gas range was located, and I had to repeatedly tell them that it's in the kitchen. They also told me to unplug the appliance, but that didn't stop a natural gas leak. I told them that they should have somebody out. They said that I needed to call somebody. It was a Friday, five o'clock, they couldn't escalate it, and nobody's gonna come out on the weekend. My house could have blown up. I told them if that happens they would get a lawsuit. The lady refused to transfer my call when I wanted to speak with somebody that could get somebody to my house. I was told that a supervisor would call me right back and nobody ever did.
I took the dog and I have to carry him everywhere because he's deaf and blind, and I took him outside just to go to the bathroom. I came back in and my house was filled with gas. I aired the house out and tried to call somebody to help me pull my gas range out as I couldn't do it. As soon as my house was aired out in the 100-degree heat in Virginia, I relit the burner and kept it as a pilot light on so that my house didn't explode. I was getting ready to call the fire department to come and do it, but they were busy, and I hate to bother them too because they would show up in full gear and a truck just to flip a switch behind my range just because I was not big enough to move it myself. The pilot was on all night long because I had to leave. I had to find other arrangements to sleep. I was without my home for a week.
Then it took them four different tries to get the right type of contractor. I was so angry. They called an HVAC guy that said he doesn't work on ranges, so I got two of those. I got one that works on appliances, but he said that mine is a professional series so that takes it up another level and he doesn't do those. That was the third person and he let AHS know right away that he couldn't do it. He was able to get it reassigned quicker than I could call and wait on hold to be able to speak to someone. The fourth group was Keepin It Cool and the owner, Chris, set up the service and he was incredible.
I am in the service industry so I certainly understand challenges of having to deal with people who don't understand and trying to dummy it down and speak to somebody on their level. But I spoke with multiple people at their call center in India and these are multiple phone calls, so I couldn't just say that it was just one person that needed training, it was every one of them. It was just by luck of the draw that I ended up with Keepin It Cool. I could have ended up calling an appliance repair person, I could have called my fire department, but when I needed my home warranty company, they didn't care.

But my bigger issue with it was my garage door and landscape lights were tied to it. So, when it went out, my garage door was manual only and my landscape lights didn't work. The tech fixed the garage door and lights so everything is working. He was the nicest young man. I was super pleased this time with the speed of the assignment and of which the people got here, and the work that was done. At my age, and especially having COVID, I need that automatic garage door opener working.
I had American Home Shield when I first bought the house and let it lapse. So, I signed up again. Before, I had something that needed to be fixed. AHS had somebody coming from an hour away. I live in a big city. I got in touch with them and asked if they could get someone local to take care of it and they did. It worked out fine. AHS is definitely worth the money.

Usually, when I call to get a repair, I have to wait on the phone forever. Now AHS has a callback service, which is very nice. I like that. Recently, my garage door wouldn't go up and down. Nothing would work and I had to manually do it. The tech came last Friday and looked at it then he called American Home Shield. He fixed it. I was happy with everything.

We asked for an HVAC tech to come out because the upstairs one wasn’t cooling properly. We asked American Home Shield to have someone come out and take a look at it. I just called the phone number. Everything was automated. I received a call from the HVAC repair company quickly afterwards to confirm the appointment. And every step of the way, they were really responsive, so I like it. They came out the next day and they were able to take a look at it. They told me that it was because the filter was clogged. Because we were doing some renovations, there was so much dust collected. They just told me to change that filter, and then it worked.

Everything is going fine with AHS. But sometimes, the charges they have for every time someone has to come over, $100, is a bit steep. Other than that, we have been enjoying the service. The first tech that came out for the AC, his diagnosis of the problem wasn't correct. He thought he fixed it and then he left. 24 hours later, we needed another technician to come and the problem wasn't what the first tech thought it was.
This has happened a couple of times when there's an issue with something and the techs don't get it the first time. Also, AHS could be more flexible with customers. For example, with the AC, having 90-degree weather and them not being able to get to us quick enough is frustrating. We had to live without air conditioning for a week.

The ice maker freezer went out and when I called American Home Shield, the rep tried to get me to KitchenAid. I called them and they said it would be a month. I couldn’t do that so the AHS rep asked if I would rather have somebody local and I said yes. The contractor first thought it was something else. Then, they realized that they had to order parts to fix it because it wasn't making ice and it was dripping and the freezer wasn't freezing as much as it should. They did a good job and they were good with communication. I called a couple of times to make sure because I’ve heard that with Covid, there are a lot of delays and things don't come. I called the contractor the next week after a few days and I asked for an ETA on the part. The rep said it had been ordered and AHS approved it. It seems like American Home Shield emails were always kind of later after I got information.
As soon as the contractor got the part, they called me and came out to do it. The icemaker seems okay since then and it’s not dripping nor roaring although it seems like the ice is not as big. I've had American Home Shield several times and I had another company about two years ago. It was such a horrific experience but after that, this one with AHS was 1,000% better.

Stephen’s Appliance came very quickly for my dryer. They were very good to work with our schedule. They would have come out much quicker if we were available. They also called ahead and were on time. However, the dryer is not totally fixed. My husband thought they were going to order a motor and a starter. Another guy came out to install the motor and it was running great. The other day, it wouldn't turn on at a different cycle for me. He came down, played with it and got it going. Yesterday, my husband called American Home Shield to get another service call back out here because it's still not fixed. We don't know if it needed the starter. Stephen’s has already contacted us and will be out Friday. Again, they would have been out sooner if not for our schedule.
In the number of years we've had American Home Shield, we’re paying more money than what we need to. I'm considering about possibly dropping it in the very near future because of our monthly payment. It keeps going up. Then there's only that 30-day warranty to cover that same service fee and depending on the appliance, that's not long enough.

It’s certain things that you have to call to verify is covered. But overall, American Home Shield is better than some other home warranty places I've used like Sears. They cover more things. AHS explains what is covered before the utility place comes out. The other companies I've used will charge you the fee, and then the person will come out, and they would be like, "Oh, we don't cover that." And they still make you pay the fee. That's why I cancelled Sears because they've done that to me a couple of times.
I've just purchased a new house. And when we moved in, the garbage disposal was leaking. And I knew I needed a replacement, but the tech told me, "Yes, you need a replacement." But then he said, "This is not covered, but I recommend you change the pipes. Because the way the pipe is right now is causing the water to not flow right, and it will clog again." So I paid extra money so he could change the pipe. A day passed and the new pipe that he just fixed is leaking. They came out again today. There was no additional charge for it.

The actual repair happened over four different calls with American Home Shield because I wasn't able to get ahold of them. I spent hours on the phone trying to get the first vendor back out. They replaced the capacitor. Within a few weeks, they replaced the capacitor again. They said that the AC needed to have the fan motor replaced because that was what took out the capacitor. I got ahold of AHS and Dunn Rite, and got Dunn Rite to come out and replace the unit. It was a drawn out process, over four months. We paid $800 out of pocket for the upgrades that were needed to get it installed, and everything's working good.
The home I just sold in Napa Valley last year was where I had the biggest challenge with AHS. I left them at my new home in Texas because I was not happy with how things went in my home in Napa Valley. When I was it, the dishwasher went out within just a few days of closing. I called, and in weeks, I got a replacement check for the work that I had done since we closed on the house. So it was a very difficult process to go through. I spent 23 hours on the phone. Other than that, I'm overall very pleased with AHS. The hold times and waiting to try and get service have just been the biggest challenges. I still have one of the best home warranties in the industry.

My recent claim with AHS was for the pilot light of the hot water heater that wasn't coming on. The thermocouple had to be replaced. The tech had the part on the truck and it was done really quick. The only issue I have sometimes with AHS is there are certain contractors I don't want in my home because I've had bad experiences with them. A couple of times we've had where that's been the contractor assigned to us, and then I had to call in and say, "No. Don't want them." They said, "It all rotates." I said, "No. I don't care."
With the recent claim, I had never heard of AM PM Plumbing. So I went online and googled their service records and customer reviews. If they get 1-star out of 5, I'll call American Home Shield back and say, "I don't want them." But they were fine. They did a really good job for us. So I was pleased. However, sometimes on the website, you don't get that personal thing where you can talk to someone if you get assigned a contractor you don't like. That's my only issue with them.
We had a major issue a little while ago, where the techs came in and they did our Freon. Then they didn't fix the leak that was causing the issue. Six months later, we had to have the Freon redone by a different company. And American Home Shield wouldn't refund us. We paid $1,500 twice in six months, and I was furious. It completely leaked out. So they opened a claim and never did anything about it.
This time, the guy that came out to fix our AC wanted $2,500 for the Freon. We went and bought a new air conditioner unit instead. I didn't even bother contacting American Home Shield about helping pay towards the new air conditioner 'cause I knew they would give me grief about it. Because continuously paying $2,500 a year for Freon gets to the point where it's ridiculous. I paid 6,500 for a new unit, a more efficient one. I have looked into changing warranties because there's been a few claims I have not been happy with the way American Home Shield has handled it.

I have a few properties with American Home Shield and I am pretty satisfied. But I would like to see more options. They should really pick and choose the people that they contract with. For the plumbing, sometimes a claim is not covered because of freeze or something else. For people considering a home warranty for the first time, do the basic one. Take less then gauge it afterward. See how that works for you. I chose the the plan where I pay 125 for a service call.

He came out the second time to clean the coil. It was rusty and he cleaned it. Then at night, it was cool in the house and it was cool going through the day. But then now, it’s back to what it was doing. Myers responds quickly and they’re professional. Maybe the technician is just not doing everything he’s supposed to do.
AHS responds quickly too. They’ve always done what they’re supposed to do on their end. But if it’s been something we’re not pleased with, it was the technician that came out. Then I need a refund for the plumbing because the people didn’t fix what they were doing. I just got sidetracked with this one because we have so much going on. But I’m satisfied with them.

There was an issue with my refrigerator and the work never got finished. But it was marked as completed so I told American Home Shield it was not and put it back out. Bay Appliances turned the job down and Gulf Appliance picked it up. Both technicians from those companies were very cordial. The problem was the refrigerator needed a part that nobody could get.
A month ago, it was deemed that the part no longer exists. The technician from Gulf Appliance recommended that the refrigerator be replaced. I called American Home Shield and they said the technician didn't fill out his report. I called the technician and he said he did. We had been going back and forth like that, even though American Home Shield had it in the notes that Gulf Appliance said they couldn't get the parts. Today, American Home Shield told me they checked themselves to see if they could get the part and found that the part does not exist. But I'm still unable to get my dad's refrigerator fixed. This whole process started in May. It has been so many months and the refrigerator is still not done.
I have American Home Shield on my California house and on two properties in Florida. Overall, I've had good experiences with them except for the refrigerator claim in my dad's place. This has been so frustrating. I've been surprised by what has gone on with this particular situation. I had one other issue with an air conditioner repair that didn't get done right, but they made good on it. American Home Shield came through on other repairs that I had done. I had Sears for a number of years and American Home Shield is far superior to them in the breath of appliances that they cover for the comparable cost.
If I could fault them on one thing, it is when American Home Shield says they are going to call back and they don't necessarily do so. The consumer has to be the one to follow up. If there's an outstanding request and the customer has called a couple of times, American Home Shield should be the one pursuing the customer as opposed to the other way around.

I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau on American Home Shield because of the issue that I had and nobody resolved my issue. I took it upon myself to resubmit the request. Because the first time I submitted a request, a Wester Electrical Company came out on a Friday evening at 5 o'clock. He didn't call or text. He just gave me a window between 2:00 and 5:00. He pulled up in a plain vehicle like it was yours, with a navy blue T-shirt on and navy blue pants. He didn't put on a mask and his booties. He just came on in. My husband let him in. And he took him to the garage where our breaker box is. That was our underlying issue, because the breaker kept cutting off to the kitchen.
He said the guy did the electrical testing in the kitchen. He took the breaker with him. He stayed here approximately one hour, took the breaker with him and said, “I need to go get the part.” But he never communicated back saying that, “I have to order the part. I'll be back tomorrow with the part. I'll be back Monday with the part.” He just said, “I need to go get the part.” And that was it.
I called Saturday morning. Our refrigerator was still sitting in the middle of our kitchen floor because we have to run extension cord from my garage inside the house to keep our refrigerator going, which is not a safety feature at all. Saturday, we did not hear from Wester. I called them. They didn't answer the phone. They only work Monday through Friday, because that was the recording. I left a message, “Y’all left my house. You never said when you’re coming back. You never communicated with us when you were coming back. Are you coming back today? Are you coming back Monday? Please let us know something.” Didn't get a call.
Monday, I called AHS to ask them to find out what was going on. One person told me that they never came out to my house. I said, “If they didn't come out to my house, who came out to my house then? Who did I let into my home if that wasn’t the company? Then the next call, they said that I called and ended my service. I said, “How would I call and end my service when they have the part to my home?” I called to find out what was going on. I asked them to find out. They kept telling me that the investigator would check into it, keep my phone line open for one hour. 24 hours, they would call me back. They never did.
I called back again a couple of days later. I said, “Can I speak to your supervisor? Can y’all tell me what's going on? My refrigerator is sitting in the middle of my kitchen floor.” They said, “Well, we'll check into it. We're taking good notes right now. We'll follow up into it.” No one ever said anything. The second week, I said, “Okay. Someone need to tell me something.” I contacted the Better Business Bureau because that is ridiculous. Then something told me to resubmit my request and I did. JTS contacted me Monday morning and said they would resolve your problem. And within one hour, they came out, fixed it, and were gone. I waited three weeks with somebody to fix something that just took one hour. And JTS sent someone immediately out that day.
I seldomly call AHS. We pay them, and this is what I get paid for. I told them all along that they are supposed to be for the customers, yet they were not trying to satisfy them. I’m getting ready to call AHS and end our service. We have had them ever since we had our house built, but we will no longer have the service.

But then two days later, the microwave was broken again. I have another appointment for it, which I have to wait yet another over a week for. This is the third time the microwave has been an issue because American Home Shield is just patching it. The first time that I had an issue with it, I had to wait six weeks for the part and could not get them to help. I asked American Home Shield for callbacks on three separate occasions, including supervisors, but no one ever called me back.
The person that I was speaking to at American Home Shield asked for verification information that their system forced me to verify. So if I'm forced to put the account number into the IVR, why am I then repeating the account number to the person who the IVR sent me to? It took over three minutes to do confirmation of who we were. Also, she did not speak very good English. So communication was hard. Then I was told that if I stayed on the phone, I would be able to do a survey, they then immediately hung up on me.
When I called asking for help because it had been a month waiting for a part, the reps said I had to wait 28 business days for them to look, and then American Home Shield will look for an additional two weeks. That's 28 business days. So throughout the entire holiday season, I did not have a microwave. I asked if there was anything the rep can do to move this up and she said, "No. That's their schedule." I don’t know as to why is there such a delay to the schedule. The rep wouldn't tell me. It's not been a good experience at all.

Every transaction I've had with American Home Shield has been painful. It took me seven months to get a refrigerator situation resolved. Also, a heating and cooling situation at one of my other houses took six months and still isn't resolved. They say, "We think it's fixed," but it's not. The same thing happens then I call back. I just finally gave up. I had a garbage disposal situation similarly. The provider came out and said I needed a new garbage disposal. Time went on and when I called back to ask where was my garbage disposal, they said they were still waiting for American Home Shield to authorize it. I called American Home Shield and they said they authorized it. I could have gone and bought the $149 garbage disposal and have my husband install it instead of paying the premium plus the $100 service fee. Finally, they assigned it to another vendor because the original vendor kept failing. But I had to go fight for that. The service to verify is atrocious.

When this particular incident happened with the AC, I knew I was gonna have to pay something, and it was 100 bucks. When the guy came out and he fixed everything, I didn't owe him anything after that. It was really easy to submit the claim once I took the time to set up an account and wrote down my passwords.

I called in and told AHS that my stove was not heating up. They told me they were gonna send somebody. I told the contractor what I needed and they told me what day the tech was coming. He was a very nice and respectable guy. He carried himself and he was friendly. He said, “I see your problem.". He wasn’t here even a good 30 minutes.
I've used AHS three times since I've been with them. They did what they have to do. They are excellent with me. I'm 70 years old and me being my age and having to look for somebody to do my work, I feel secure because AHS sends people. If I have a problem, I could call them and they would take care of it. I'm very happy with them.

American Home Shield has broad coverage policy. They cover a lot more than other companies. There's not a lot of push back, as far as things being covered other than acts of God, which I understand. The downside is it seems to always take too long to get a service provider to my house to get something taken care of. When your AC goes out in the middle of summertime, you don't want to have to wait three days to get somebody out here to fix it.
When you call in to speak to someone at American Home Shield, it's typically a foreigner who doesn't speak very good English. It's also choppy and you're struggling trying to understand what they're saying and hoping that they understand what you're saying. The good news is they do reiterate what we're trying to express, but it's painful going through the process with someone that doesn't speak as clearly as I do. It's real frustrating. I know we outsource a lot of this stuff, but it'd be really good if we can get regular Americans to answer the telephone.
When we had the winter storm and power outages last winter, I had pipe and water issues. I called American Home Shield to schedule service and being proactive, I sent pictures to the plumbing company that was assigned. But they couldn't get out to me because of road conditions and I understood that. But when they finally did get out and about, they contacted American Home Shield and said that my pictures looked like an act of God, like frozen pipes, which I didn't have a problem with. But they never called me back to say that American Home Shield doesn't cover that. I was expecting the plumber to show up that day and to fix my pipes regardless because you have the option of having them do it right away even if it's not covered.
I was trying to call the plumbing company all day long after seven days of being without water. They finally called me back that evening and the plumber said, “Oh, didn't American Home Shield call you back? They don't cover frozen pipes.” I told the plumber, “Well, are you guys gonna come out here and fix my pipes? I thought you were coming.” He said something sarcastic that sent me through the roof. I never want this company back at my house again. So if I ever have a plumbing issue and American Home Shield assigns that plumber to me, I’m gonna request somebody else. I never got my pipes fixed through American Home Shield. I called the guy that built my house 20 years ago and asked him if he knew of any plumber that could come out and fix my pipes. He said, “Let me make a few phone calls,” and the next morning by 6:30, there were plumbers knocking on my door to fix my pipes.
I liked the contractor that American Home Shield sent out for the AC. There were two guys that came out to figure out my issues and they were great. But there was one thing that they did a year or so ago that irked the living daylights out of me. They had to change a compressor, which was covered, on one of my outside AC units. But you have these little caps that screw over your Freon nozzles. Those little caps will run you about 12 bucks apiece, and that company charged me 40 some odd dollars for each one of those caps.
I called the contractor and said, “So help me to understand, these little caps that you say are not covered, that you’re gonna charge me for, costs about $12. I can go get them online for $12. So why are you charging me $45 apiece for them?” The guy said, “Well, that's just the cost of doing business.” I understand you're going to upcharge and you got to make a profit, but that’s ridiculous. It put a bad taste in my mouth.

Eventually, my air conditioning unit and my furnace are going to go out. I bought a policy with American Home Shield so that it would help me with that. Recently, I did a claim for an icemaker in my fridge. My fridge is 17 years old and the technician told me I should keep the fridge so he fixed the icemaker. He said the older ones last a lot longer or are made a lot better. He also said the new ones are pieces of crap and only last three or four years.

The people that I speak to on the phone or via chat are always quick and professional. The direct customer service has always been exceptional. It's just been the people that American Home Shield has sent out. We've had a couple issues and it's always the vendor that American Home Shield has called out that wasn't able to fix the appliance. Also, it's been a little bit longer during the pandemic for American Home shield to get people out here. Before, it was usually just a couple days. But we totally understand and for the most part, everything is great with American Home Shield. They're responsive.
A&E was the name of the contractor that was sent out. We had two appliances and three times, they didn't fix it all the way. For the refrigerator's icemaker, it took them almost seven weeks to get the parts. Then it took another week to 10 days for them to schedule a call out here. It was a really long process. Then within 30 days, they didn't work again. When I called, I had to repay for the service people to come back out because it was after the 30-day period of time.
I travel for work and I'm not home for two, three weeks at a time sometimes, so I wouldn't have noticed that these things weren't working right away. American Home Shield finally sent another vendor out which was Platinum Service. What was so funny was when I called again, it was maybe six days till they could get somebody out here and that was fine because they have to work around, sometimes, with my schedule too. But when I opened the door, I thought, "This is a kid. He's never gonna fix this stuff." But did. He fixed both of them the same day. Now, my dishwasher dries my dishes and my icemaker makes ice.

The AC wouldn't cool at all but the tech fixed it in no time. It was something on the outside that came loose and he replaced it immediately. He was so nice and he knew what he was doing. He said he really enjoyed working with AHS and that they were great. But sometimes, you have to wait too long for the repair. It was awfully hot and I had to go stay with a friend, but we had fun. I also had a tech come out last summer and he was awful. I told him that there was nothing wrong with a part and he broke the other part. I had to go another 10 days without air.

I had a leak in the ceiling and kitchen sink and a faucet was also leaking. But American Home Shield does not pay for the contractor to search for the leak since it’s covered by the sheetrock. I will have to pay for that separately. But the contractor, Plumbing Doctor, fixed everything else that's covered by AHS. The person that came out was very helpful and efficient. The first faucet that he got from Home Depot as a replacement was defective. He had to drive back to Home Depot and get another faucet. I appreciated that because any other time, they would have probably just stuck it right in and leave but he didn't. He was very professional.

There was water dripping out of our air conditioning onto some wiring which was causing popping and sparking. AHS has worked great. We put the claim in on a Saturday evening and they assigned the claim right away to J Starr. We called JS Starr and left a message. They got back to us on Sunday afternoon even though it was a weekend and scheduled a time for Monday.
The techs came at the time they said they were going to come. They took the time to look around and tried to discover what the issue was. The repairman thought he had fixed it so I gave him a good review. But a couple of hours later, the issue started again. The issue was it was hard to find where the leak was coming from. We called the contractor back and their manager said the tech could come out the following day to assess the issue a little further which he did. He said they were busy so he could get back to us by the end of the week. And so far, we haven't heard from them. We live in Redding, California where it's 110 right now and there have been some wildfires, so it’s smokey. So, it's hard to hard to not have air and not be able to open your windows. The contractor was initially responsive and everything was good up until they didn't call us back. It's been four days.

The AC unit was turning on and the fan wasn't communicating at the same time. So, the techs had to replace the circuit board because it caught on fire. We didn't know it caught on fire until afterwards. It caught on fire, and then about a week later, we noticed the fan was turning on and off, whereas the AC unit was turning on. It was just us not understanding how the fan worked and that there were two levels. So, when the AC unit turns on, the fan will shut down for a few minutes and turn back on because, as they go to a different level of turning, when the actual AC unit turns on, it goes to like level two. We just thought something was wrong because that's what was happening prior to it catching on fire. It's good right now.
The technician that came out was very knowledgeable and he educated us on how an HV unit works. We've had this guy come out a few times in the last few years. He's very quick to answer the call and get here, even though it's an air conditioning here in Idaho. It's been 100 plus degrees for about three months. So, the fact that he's been able to get here within 24 hours of filing the claim has been pretty awesome. Finally, he had to get the circuit board. He's done a great job. I like that I was able to get him to come out the second time without having to pay the second time within a couple of weeks time. We've been very satisfied.

The motor went bad on my AC unit. Indoor Quality Services did an excellent job on it. The technician was very good, very professional and he did the fix in a perfect amount of time. As far as the claims to American Home Shield, I have a microwave that hasn’t been fixed for over a year. People have just been coming out to my house. It's gonna be the 12th time they came. It’s been broken since April, and they just keep changing parts. That's been a horrible experience.
I’ve been with AHS for a lot of years now, and there's been times where they fix my problems right away, and then there were some like the one for my microwave that was not fixed yet. AHS should at least call the people and ask them what the problem really is and why they keep changing parts. They probably spent over $1,000 on parts when the microwave is only worth $200. From my experience, it’s been hit and miss. There were times where the technician came out and did a good job, and then I've had some really bad experience where AHS could use a more well-known people that fix things instead of mom and pop places that don't have the right tools or right equipment.
Another thing is sometimes, it's hard to understand the people from the AHS call centers because they're from other countries. We've had bad experience on that end because it’s hard to understand someone. Overall, I've spent $100 here and there and American Home Shield's contractors didn't even fix an issue. So, I just lost out because we're sick and tired of them coming to my house.

I was satisfied that Air Dynasty was here on time. They were quick to respond. But they want to charge me $15,000 to replace everything. The tech said, "Well, you can replace this, this, and this. Or you can replace this or this. Or any later, you can replace the other part that needs replacing," which didn't sound good to me. They did have to go back out to American Home Shield. But American Home Shield said they'll only pay for one thing that costs $107. They'll pay for another thing that cost $150, and the rest will be out of my pocket. That was so much for, "If something breaks, we'll replace it." I had to call somebody else and they came in the very next day and had the AC running within 30 minutes. I wouldn't recommend Air Dynasty. I was dissatisfied especially if I get somebody else to come in here and do something else for thousands of dollars less. All they had to do was get it started again, but their mindset was to replace the whole unit.

We have greatly enjoyed American Home Shield’s service. We've been using it for almost six years now. It has been a lifesaver. Just recently, the sensor in our refrigerator wasn't working, and they had sent out a guy to fix it. He couldn't fix it by putting a new part in, so they refunded us to buy a new refrigerator, which was finally delivered today. That's been about a month and a half in process of them coming out, looking at the refrigerator, and getting Lowe's to deliver it. Then at the end of June, we had the motor and fan went out in one of our air conditioner units. It took about a week to get the part, and that was fixed. Only having to pay $75 is amazing.
We also just had a clog in the plumbing line that's attached to the inside AC unit from the drip pipe, and they came and cleared that out. In the past three months, it's been just $75 for a visit and not having to spend thousands of dollars to fix everything. While it does take time to get someone and get on their schedule, it's always within a couple of days of an issue rising up.

My AC claim was handled very well. I want to commend American Home Shield on that one. They escalated it because it was a weekend. United Air Temp came during the weekend and fixed it. Both United air and AHS did great. However, we have another long-standing issue with AHS that we're enormously unhappy about and that influenced them escalating our AC claim.
Our upstairs HVAC unit has been dead since May and we still don't have a replacement. We have never gotten a satisfactory update on what the heck is going on, and what is the status of the parts. Multiple times, we were promised callbacks after they would talk to their purchasing department. We never got callbacks. The only person we've ever gotten responses back from is the contractor that AHS assigned and it's not even his job to give us that update. He’s still a victim until American Home Shield orders the compressor and gets it to him. It's been three months of no air conditioning on the second floor of our house. So our office is unusable. None of our kids have been able to visit. We've been given some wrong dates that they've missed. It's been unbelievably frustrating.
With AHS, there's no escalation whatsoever. So when I keep having the customer reps tell me, “Oh, well, we're going to talk about purchasing, we're doing the best we can," they have never allowed an escalation to a manager or supervisor, or to the purchasing department. If you order an appliance through American Home Shield, there is an escalation. You can talk to the appliance department and they are wonderful. But with the customer service for something that's broken, you're screwed. There's never a manager nor a supervisor and you can't talk to purchasing.
The number one reason we chose American Home Shield was that they had a rekeying option for someone moving into a house. We could have an extra number of doors rekeyed for free and that was very attractive to us because we wanted eight doors rekeyed. When we first moved in and got the policy, AHS brought the door guy out and he said, “Oh yeah, I'll come back to you, and I'll call you tomorrow with all the options.” He wanted to see all the doors and the options, what was double-locked, what was single locked and all that. But we never heard from him ever again. We were out $75 and nothing ever got rekeyed. I don't really blame that one on American Home Shield. But the not getting any updates in three months with something as critical as HVAC, that was completely unacceptable.

We have multiple contracts with AHS in my family. This is the first time I have needed to utilize my home warranty. My dryer started to emit a burning smell. I called AHS and they took a week to send out a repair contractor. The contractor came to my home and looked at the dryer which is located in a small laundry room. After opening the machine and allowing small fireballs to fly out onto my floor the contractor turned to me and stated I (a single woman) would need to pull out the stackable machine from against the wall into the living room for him to work on it. He then went on to state that it’s “connected” so he can’t do anything about it. It is plugged in and attached to a dryer vent.
When I stated to him I am unable to move such a large appliance myself and fear there is a significant danger to the large sparks coming out of it, he then stated I should hire someone to do it, took some pictures, and left. He then reported to AHS that there is no access to the dryer which is absolutely incorrect. The dryer is located on the ground floor and in a small laundry room. I have now contacted AHS 3 times with my concern and have been given the runaround and told they will not let me speak to a supervisor.
On top of that they have charged me a fee of $75 for sending this extremely rude contractor to my home only to tell me to do half the work myself and pull out and dismantle a machine which is sparking. I have repeatedly asked to speak to a supervisor and each time the person I speak to who is working in a different country tells me they are unable to connect me to a supervisor. Then after being placed on hold several times in one phone call and spending over an hour each time they ultimately hang up the phone. BBB has over 14,000 complaints filed against AHS and it is not surprising given the response I have had to my first time using my home warranty.

My AC broke and they were very quick to send a vendor. Unfortunately once they determined it had to be replaced they have done everything in their power to not do the job. It is almost two weeks and they still have not got the part so the vendor can replace it. Every person I have spoken to has told me a different story and yet I am still waiting. They keep saying if I do not want to wait they understand. So basically even though I have made my payments on time when it comes to actually replacing something that is covered under the contract they are doing everything in their power to not do the job. I was promised a call from a supervisor within 24 hours it took 4 days and that is only because I spent hours on the phone demanding to speak to someone.
Finally got a call only to be told he will have to try and figure out what the delay is from the parts department. Another delay tactic from the company. They also told me 5 days in that I would have to pay more out of my pocket than the service fee and even though I agreed to do it just to get the job completed they still have not done the job. I can honestly say I think this is the worst customer service I have ever received.

I like American Home Shield. I just renewed it. I tried looking at other ones. Those are a little more expensive. But I've had American Home Shield with my prior house, so it felt okay getting it this time. I had some issues with the first house. It was the air conditioner or the whole furnace issue back then. But after back and forth over some time, they ended up fixing the whole thing. It was obviously more than 30 years old. That made me feel better. But the whole process, once it was all done, it felt better. And then they got my accounting all wrong when I had it good at one time. So, they cleaned that up, and that made me feel better. I just took some correspondence back and forth, so that helped.
I did the automatic thing where you go on to AHS’s website and entered it in. I tried everything before I made that call because I don't wanna ever make the call. I want that to be the last one to do just to contact the warranty company. But I went on their website and pushed the button for the service call, told them what was wrong. And I didn't get a call back all week. So, I called Friday at 3 o'clock, left a message on the Metro Heating & Cooling answer machine. And I got a text Monday at 9:00 saying he was on his way. I was like, “Oh my God! Somebody paid attention! Yeah, great!” He came out. He saw that it was some condenser and fixed it immediately right then and there. And we had cool air in less than an hour. I was so happy. They were great.
That was another reason why I liked AHS this time, because the contractors they used were great. If Metro hadn't called, I would’ve used the ones that AHS gave me for the air conditioner when it broke in January. I knew something was going on. And it wasn't working. It’s a warm day. I knew we would have a hot sweaty summer. I contacted AHS. And they said, “The breaker box is old. It needs to be upgraded. We're not gonna touch it with a 10-foot pole. You go hire an outside contractor to do it, and then we'll come back and fix whatever happens from that point.” I said, “Fine. I have all the contractors right here. He could hook it up.” They said, “No. We're not gonna pay for that.” So, I forked out $1,000, had somebody come in and install a whole brand-new breaker box, fixed the wires, did all of that. Spent three days out here fixing all the stuff. Everything was working smooth.
Air conditioner broke down. I said, “Hey, American Home Shield, you said you’d fix whatever was happening. Can you come on back out?” And this was March. And they said, “No, we can't.” I said, “No. I have the exact quote. I wrote it down exactly word for word. So, I asked you 15 times, ‘Are you sure that you’ll cover whatever somebody else does? Because this is electrical, and I don't want the house to burn down.’” “No. Sorry. We're not gonna fix it. You gotta hire whoever you came back out.” I was like, “No, I’m not gonna call these freaking people back again.” It was awful.
I just contacted the guy who came out the first time and said, “Hey, how much is it from AHS?” that they sent out instead of my private contractor because they messed up bad. And he said, “For a service call, $75 an hour.” “What? AHS charges me $100. I could’ve called y’all to start. Dang! You would have saved me. Sure. Go ahead. Fix whatever. Just get the air conditioner working please.” And in less than three hours, he had it working. Cost me, but $75 an hour beats $100 with a—"I'm not sure I'm gonna cover whatever you said what happened.” So, it was an iffy situation when I made this last service call, but the guy came out and he fixed it. I would have paid $75 an hour for a 30-minute service than $100. But now I know.
$1,000 is a lot of money to fork out. And I told the guy, “You have been out here twice through AHS trying to fix this air conditioner, and you're now back out here at my cost.” This was before this last Metro Heating person. It was Lynch Electric that we used. And AHS sent them. I said, “You're now out here at my cost. And if I had just used you for a jump, I wouldn't have incurred all this extra expense in trouble and hassle and pulling my hair out stuff. I should have just called you up.” Metro was good this last time and they were fast.
Every time AHS sent somebody out, I put a review up. And I love the people they send out. It’s just if they could make it easier. Or don't tell me one thing and then I have to go out of pocket and then something else happens. I would have known all along. I saved myself $1,000 because this stuff is expensive. And they've been less subtle.

The first time I called American Home Shield, I told them that there was something wrong with my refrigerator. They set up an appointment with an appliance person. The appliance person came out and told me, "We don't fix that," and that was the end of that. I called American Home Shield and said, "I paid my $100 and they said that they couldn't fix it." They were all very nice about it. They said, "We'll get this taken care of for you." Then I got a text message saying that B-N-K Plumbing would be coming out to fix the waterline. They came and replaced the line to the refrigerator that cracked and leaked.
My biggest complaint with American Home Shield right now as a new customer is getting ahold of a live person when I have a concern. Also, I picked American Home Shield because of the advertisements that I've been seeing. Unfortunately, they sold me on something then they took it away and didn't do anything about it.

I had to go around and around on coverage for a few things in the past, but I've had American Home Shield forever. My rate goes up every year, but I don't understand why that happens. But it's all good. I still keep them because I just don't feel like changing. It's better to know the devil you know. The contractor was great. At first, it took them a few days to get out, but I understand because it's summertime and everybody has issues. But once they got here, they came out and pushed the referral through because they didn't have any electricity to the air, so they couldn't look at anything. They pushed it straight through and told me to call and get it done. Then, the electrician came and fixed it, and they came back and fixed it right away.
They said that they would come the next day after the electrician came. But then, they called me back later on. It was great that they could come the next day because I thought that they would tell me another two or three days. But they said they would come the next day, and then they called me later on the day and they had a cancellation, so they came over that day. I really appreciated that because my kids were dying here with no air conditioner in Hotlanta. The warranty helps me to feel a bit more secure that I am insured and my house is insured. And if something goes wrong, that I'm not going to have a high out of pocket cost for repairs.

The extent of what American Home Shield covers for the cost that I'm paying monthly is great. It covers things like the ceiling fan, plumbing, etc. for $40 a month. You can't beat that. I'm enjoying American Home Shield very much so far. I have a thermostat upstairs and downstairs and the downstairs one was not working recently. The first time the repairman came out, he checked a lot of things. He checked to see if there was a leak. He didn't see that there was one. He saw that there was a part that needed to be replaced. They ordered the part and were on top of things. Since he's been here and put the part and freon in, it's been fine. I'm very pleased. Every single person that came out to the house was very knowledgeable. I was impressed.

When I didn't realize that my policy renewed on its own, I called AHS to talk to somebody but I couldn't understand them. They were also very rude to the point where I wound up hanging up. But I like the process with AHS because it's amenable. I can go online, hit a button and say what's wrong. It's pretty self-sufficient and easy to work. I just don't like the fact when it's situations like this. The other day, I had a claim because my refrigerator is not working. On something like that, I can get past if it takes a little bit for somebody to get out here and get the right part on there. But when you're in the middle of August and it's 100 degrees, AHS should work a little closer with either the client and/or contractors to find somebody that can get here, ASAP.
Recently, the upstairs unit wasn't cooling. The air conditioning company put a part in and it made the upstairs cool. But last night, I woke up at midnight and my whole house was hot so I have a request in currently. It's 94 degrees in here, and I can't get anybody here till Saturday. I don't know if I should call American Home Shield and find out if there's another company that could come sooner. I talked to the contractor that has my order right now and asked them if there's any possible way they could come sooner. They told me that they are putting out the schedule for tomorrow so if they have any cancellations. that's a possibility. It's not their fault and it's the time of year where stuffs happens but in the meantime, I have a pet and kids. Everybody's irritable and pissed and so am I.

My AC unit was trying to turn on but the fan wasn't spinning. I called a private person before AHS's contractor, Cabot Mechanical, got a hold of us. No offense to American Home Shield but sometimes the contractors that are chosen are just trying to get their business up and running. That person said, “Just have them come out, do the work. I believe this is what’s going on.”
The tech from Cabot greed. He determined the issue was a capacitor but then he had to cool down the condenser which was trying to kick on constantly. He did that and had cool air in my house within 20 minutes. The tech said that Cabot doesn't put regular paying customers ahead of their warranty work. Instead, they do it in the order in which it comes in because they're getting paid no matter what. The owner of Cabot prides himself in making sure that he can get the jobs done in a timely manner.

I called American Home Shield, paid them the $100, and got the appointment made for our air conditioner. The air conditioner is a Carrier Infinity, and there's only one game in town that can work on them. So we did end up having to wait a week for the contractor to come out to work on it, which was kind of annoying because it was August and it was hot. But other than that, the whole American Home Shield experience was good. They've been great and very responsive. We recommended them to several people.
When the contractor came out for the air conditioner, they resolved the issue within 15 minutes. They've been out before and they remembered us and our pets. It was very good. In the past, they had a tough time diagnosing the issue because the unit is so complex that they had to learn about it. So they had to come out several times. But because of the $100 of the Home Shield, we didn't care because at the time that they had to come back several times to get it fixed a couple years ago, it wasn't like it was scorching hot 100-degree weather. So it wasn't a super inconvenience. We were glad to get it fixed for 100 bucks because normally the service charges would have been very expensive. So we're glad to have the American Home Shield with this unit.

The AC wasn’t heating and so the techs came out. They said that I needed some Freon and a new thermostat. I paid them the 100 bucks and they put in the thermostat. Then they said they had to order the parts for the evaporator. Two days before they were due to come and put the evaporator in, I got a call from American Home Shield's customer service people saying that my out-of-pocket costs would be $1,500, on top of the $100 that I already paid. Also, since it’s an older system, they said that they would only pay $10 a pound for the Freon and I was responsible for the rest of whatever that cost was. I was okay with that.
I called four times and got four different people asking them if they would send me in writing what I was paying for versus what American Home Shield was paying for. Every single one of them told me that it wasn’t in their policy to put that in writing and so I never got it. One of the customer service people said that I could write it down. I asked if I could be put with somebody who could help me and one of them said that nobody could help me, so I just gave up. My neighbor from church has a small AC company. Rather than continuing to fight as it wasn't worth the battle, I just got him to do it. He came out and got my AC running.

We had somebody come out to look at the AC who told us that the compressor on the outside unit was bad. We were having some troubles with it, and we were hearing noises and leaking. With it being 1,000 degrees in Florida here, we decided we would call American Home Shield because we've had them for years and we always trust them. But when the technician came out, he said there was nothing wrong with it. So, I had to take his word for it. But I'm concerned because we had a professional that said otherwise.
Other than that, I'm always happy with AHS. I've always been 100% satisfied with the service and decisions that have been made. I've had AC issues in the past and I've had American Home Shield come out. And I've had to wait weeks with 90 or 100-degree heat, when it took them forever to get a part or to actually fix it. That's a really downside of them, especially in the state of Florida, where we are a 100% dependent on air. Also, the coverage doesn't cover any maintenance or cleaning, which would prevent major things happening in the future. It would be nice if they were able to cover that. They should opt for prevention rather than cure and in the long run, it would save American Home Shield money as well. Aside from that, when it comes to items like the AC, they don't really cover a lot of problems that can go wrong with it.

The water dispenser in the refrigerator door was not working. United Services Appliance Repair came over and the tech said he was just gonna have to unthaw it. He said I would have to take everything out of my freezer, which I told him was not possible. I don't have any coolers. He didn't offer to supply anything to help do it and said he will have to come back with a special thing to unthaw it.
After some weeks, they came back and it unthawed for a couple of days but it froze back up. He said he's going to come back and bring a heater coil to put in there that will automatically heat the little dispenser and it should work. He undid everything and the little coil didn’t fit so he said he's gonna have to get a different one to fit the refrigerator. Then, they called back and said they're just going to have to give me a buyout of $600 something or they will replace the door. That refrigerator cost right at 2,000 so I told them to replace the door.
The main problem I have with AHS is not being able to get ahold of a supervisor and it’s very hard to understand some of the foreign people. The calls are automatically shipped out of the United States. For instance, I'm still having problems with my air conditioner. That's been going on since spring. I was trying to ask them how much it would cost what they were replacing and they go strictly by the little paper so nobody knew anything. And they won't let you speak to anybody in a supervising position to be able to tell you anything different than what they have been told to tell you. Other than that, AHS is worth it. They have provided me some help with a pool pump and hot water heater. Also, when they can't fix things, sure enough, they replace them.

Our recent claim with AHS was for the refrigerator that was not cooling at all, so everything that was in there spoiled. We ended up having to throw them away. Then when the repairman came, he fixed it within minutes and it was good to go. We were very happy. I let one of my daughters know about AHS. I told her she should go ahead and get it. It's really something good to have. However, I know some of the other people that had recommended AHS to me had a smaller deductible than what I did. So AHS should reiterate it to the customer they'll be paying this much but this is the deductible so that they are clearly aware whenever they have to pay a deductible.

The icemaker was putting water all over the floor. It kept flowing out of it until the container that the ice was in was empty and until it was all over the floor. The guy that came out was good. It took almost a week for the part to come in. The only thing was that AHS did not call me. I ended up calling them first. Some of the claims that I've had with American Home Shield were good but some were not so good. For instance, at one of our houses, the contractor came and cut a hole in the wall to repair something in the shower. But they never came back to fix the hole. That's been about three years and the hole is still there. My husband called a couple times, but they never came to fix it.
When we had a heat pump issue in this house, American Home Shield kept sending people out there to repair it. But everybody they sent said they didn't work on those units. So I don't know why they sent them. I ended up having to find a company myself to fix it. But I already spent money with American Home Shield for the $75 service for the companies that they sent out. I was surprised that once American Home Shield told the companies what the issue was, they didn't say, “Oh, we don't work on heat pumps.” So it was a waste of my time because I had to take off from work to be there for the companies to come and they also gave me a big window of about four hours.

The AC wouldn't come on. We called American Home Shield, the guy came out the next day, and he was able to fix it. I also had a claim for the refrigerator and the company that they used took two weeks to get in touch with me from the initial call. Then it was another two to three weeks for the delivery of the refrigerator. And when they came, the guys wrapped it off and the handle was broken. They said they were bringing it back the next day but that took a lot of me calling American Home Shield, GE, and their company for almost another three weeks to a month to finally get the handle that I had to have installed myself. They also never sent anybody off to hook up the icemaker and I got somebody to do that myself. That company gave me three delivery dates and the guys never came, so I missed work three different times. I didn't like that and I told American Home Shield that they needed to take them off as contractors.
All in all, if your appliance breaks, you should have a plan B to just get reimbursed, because my experience with that was horrible. But as far as to fix the electric, light, or the air conditioner, it's pretty safe. I had an issue with the stove before and it took the techs two weeks to come out. For things that people need every day, it can't take that long for someone to even make an appointment. Then they may say they have to order a part and you still have to wait.

He called to let me know he was on his way and stayed in constant communication. He found the issue when he was here. A part had to be replaced and someone came back to put the part on. Everything went smoothly and in a timely manner. We've had other claims previously as well, and we haven't had any issues with any of the techs. Everything has been exceptional, and we're very satisfied.

I have two policies with American Home Shield. When something goes wrong, you got to figure out who to call and try to search, but I can just call the home warranty, and they send somebody out. I don't have to worry about whether they're good or not because AHS has already vetted them. Recently, several outlets were out and the electrician fixed everything. He was quick and came on time.

We had a leaky faucet and then one of them was corroded. Everything was pretty great although the techs were supposed to come back and replace another couple of faucets.

My refrigerator had a cooling problem. J & A Appliance Repair came and diagnosed it. They ordered and put in the new compressor, the second one, and it failed. They told me they did something but deeming it bad. I got an email from American Home Shield and I called them, and they deemed it bad, so there are two resolutions, either I go for a gift card from Lowe's or buy a new one on my own, send them a receipt and they'll give me a check. I'm online right now looking at refrigerators. Overall, American Home Shield is the best and I highly recommend them. You can't go wrong with them. Everybody is nice and they resolve the problem.

When a contractor came out for a plumbing issue, the experience was fine. It was the guy that came out for my air that we had a problem with. We did the whole month waiting for American Home Shield to get somebody out to look at it but when the technician came out, he tore some things out of my fuse box where I couldn't get any electricity in some areas but he didn't tell us anything. We were wondering why the hot tub was not working.We had somebody come out and look at it, and he said something was torn up out of there.
The contractor told me it's not their fault they can't replace it because it's not their fault that they tore it out. It's very unprofessional for them to say that. I said, "If it was on us or something was wrong with our box, why weren't we notified? You just left. You didn't tell us anything." We got to get an electrician out to try and get it fixed. I reached back out to American Home Shield and they were saying that they were gonna investigate it. They apologized for everything that happened, but nobody has contacted me yet.

We had a stoppage and there was a leak. The flange was put on top of another flange and that caused a whole lot of commotion in my half bath. The toilet, kitchen sink, and washing machine were overflowing. I liked the contractor I was given. They were very efficient and they explained everything before they did it. They let us know what was going on.
When requesting service, American Home Shield sends people out to estimate and see what's going on. If something is needed, another invoice is put in, which is another $75, because that's a different job. This is our first claim and we paid them the initial fee for the people to come out. They do the work all for that $75. We still have to pay the contractors off the discounted price. Somehow, the guy explained things to me today so I understand how the system works now. Once I found out the original price of the job and how much I'm being charged, I knew then that I saved money. American Home Shield’s service has been good so far and I would refer friends to them. I’ll explain to friends how the home warranty worked and tell them to read the contract.

The washing machine was making a really loud noise in the spin cycle. I submitted the claim with American Home Shield online and they provided me the phone number. I called the copntractor and they answered immediately. I had somebody out the next morning, so it was very simple. The bearings and the transmission were going out. The tech addressed it. He said he had to order the part. Then he came out, put the part in, cool. Don't try to call AHS on the phone. It’s more difficult. Also, AHS could lower their deductible cost. It keeps going up every year. Used to be $45. It’s 75 now. Make sure you look at what's covered and what's not before you decide to pick a plan.

My husband’s a fireman so he's not home every day or at night. When something breaks and I'm by myself with the kids, it's so reassuring to know that someone will be there for me and help me through it. I can just put in a claim online at any time and then the next day, I would get a call back from either the contractor or from American Home Shield. It's been a lifesaver.
The washing machine was leaking oil and water at the bottom and it kept saying, “On level,” but it couldn't ever level itself out. The next day after I filed a claim, AHS called me and set it up. Then, on a Thursday afternoon, Wright Appliance called me and got me in Tuesday or Wednesday that following week. They came in, assessed the washing machine, and figured out what the problem was. They were the same company that did my dishwasher and they did a great job on that appliance as well.

I like American Home Shield's service. I called for my oven and they were very knowledgeable of what I needed. They gave me a callback. The tech sent for my ovens was really good. My ovens are working again.

Our AC unit died twice in a week. The first contractor American Home Shield was going to send out wouldn't come till the 9th. That was not gonna work. This past week was the hottest of the entire summer. Luckily, we got hooked up with a really good guy. The speed of the inspection was perfect. The guy fixed the AC unit but said that the problem could happen again. He came back and fixed the unit again. He told me what to watch out for and what to do. I’m very pleased. I'm very happy that my AC is fixed now. Another claim I had was for my three-year-old washing machine that stopped working last year because of the motherboard. American Home Shield decided it was not worth fixing and replaced it. I got two brand new washing machines from them in recent years.
We used to have HMS, which American Home Shield owns. We’ve had them for 13 years and I've been very satisfied. My only frustration is even though reps speak English, their accent is so thick. When I called customer service, I couldn't understand what the rep was saying and I had to ask her to repeat it several times. She didn't get what I was explaining. But we finally figured it out. Sometimes the volume on my phone is all the way up. The rep sounded louder than a whisper but I couldn't hear her. That made me feel like a jerk. Outside of that, I've been very happy. I tell people all the time that they need to get a home warranty and I also tell them who I've got.

The pipes on the water heater were all rusted and it was leaking. The tech came out and he looked at it and determined that it was all rusted on the inside and that's what was causing the leak. He ordered the water heater, and then two weeks later, he came back and replaced it. It's working great. I'm extremely happy with them.
The claims process with AHS is pretty good. Sometimes it's a little bit of a pain if you can't get the service provider to come out in a timely manner. I had one time where the AC went out and they were telling me it would take four days for the service provider to come out but the temperatures were over 95 degrees. So I had to work directly with the company and get them to come out. American Home Shield is hard to get ahold of. You call and sit on hold forever. It would improve the process a lot more if they could make it to where the customer could email them to cut down on the hold time on the phone.

My AC unit is in the ceiling. I've had a firm come a few years that I thought I could trust them and they said that that's just the way it is. So, when it gets really hot out and I got the air on, it shuts off and starts leaking. When it got really bad, I decided to try American Home Shield. When I contacted them online, everything was immediate and there was no downtime. Then, I wound up with two guys from Budget A/C and Heating coming out. Those two guys were the best ever and they are the only people I want out ever for my HVAC because of how good they were. They fixed the problem and it turned out that the guy I had before did not flush out the condensation line. That was why the unit was leaking water for years.
Charlotte,
Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with the work done.We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Enjoy your day.
