    American Home Shield is pretty good. I've stuck with them for about 20 years. Recently, Alchemist Pool Service replaced the filter top and they did well. But in Nevada during the summertime, you need air conditioner. When the air conditioner goes out on people's homes, American Home Shield needs to have people come out on the weekends. If you call me 9 o'clock in the morning and you say this product is out, I should be able to have somebody call you no later than three hours. The same also goes for the furnace during the winter. In those circumstances, there needs to be a more speedy response.

    I've been with American Home Shield for a couple of years now. The only problem I have is I feel certain things, like electrical and plumbing, should have a 24-hour turnaround versus 60 hours. The other day when my hot water heater was going out, I did a claim and it took a two-day process. I wish that some things could be quicker than others. They have vendors that they use, but there are certain work orders that should be prioritized versus a two-day waiting period. Apart from that, I'm satisfied with everything else. The contractors have done a great job. They make sure they put their mask on, they had the stuff over their socks, and they were very professional. American Home Shield is always prompt and always on time. Customer service and accounting are awesome too. They are a good company. I recommend them to anybody.

    Our freezer was not freezing and the refrigerator was not cooling to the proper temperatures. Everything was way warmer than it needed to be. I did a service request online and the American Home Shield website was great. It was easy to use and I was very pleased with it. Sears was assigned to me. They sent a notification and gave a date and a time window from 8:00 to 5:00. The day before, we got a narrower window of that day. A Sears representative then called in the morning and told us on the day a tech was coming. They were great and were very professional. We couldn't have been happier. They had ordered parts for our refrigerator. The parts came in. And on the last visit, the tech installed all the parts.

    The hot water tank had corrosion around one of the valves in the front. American Home Shield was very understanding and had someone out very quickly. The tech from Standard Plumbing Sewer came in and went right to work. He said it needed replacement and he did the whole unit. It was raining and he was going in and out. He always wiped his feet at the door and was very clean. I was very satisfied with the promptness, politeness, and taking care of business. It was a very good experience.

    The technician contacted me within the time required. He finished a job in the area, called us, and said that he could be here in five minutes if we were ready for him. We asked him to come down. He was very pleasant to deal with and knowledgeable on the unit. He knew what the problem was before he went in there just by how it was acting. He had a few issues getting the right part but that wasn’t his fault and he kept us updated fully throughout the entire process. The second he had the parts, he was back out here and got it installed quickly. It was A plus service and I was happy with it. It was phenomenal. Everything has been great with American Home Shield.

    I had family members that had American Home Shield prior and they said it was a great service. I had it in Arizona, and then I have it here. It's one of the easiest and most user-friendly services I've had, and the job gets completed in a fast and easy amount of time. One time, I had All American Plumbing & Drain come out for our water heater. Our problem was that the pilot light was going out every two or three weeks consistently and there was an external PVC attachment on the top of the water heater that drained quite a bit of water into a large bucket. I've never seen that before.

    I called the contractor and he said that the reason that the pilot light kept going out was because the water heater was set too high. It was overexerting itself and it hadn't been cleaned in x amount of years, so it was too dirty to relight. The contractor turned down the water heater and cleaned out the debris and dirt so that the pilot light would light. He said that because the water heater was turned down, it wouldn't overexert itself, so it wouldn't be draining as much water from the PVC attachment. So far, so good. It still drains water, but it's not as much as it had in the past. The pilot light hasn't gone out since as well.

I had to call them at 1:50 and the guy told me that he had just received a call that the appointment was canceled. I told him it wasn't me and he put me on hold. He came back to say that he had the address confused and that he would be here by 3:15. Then, he called back and he said he had to go to Home Depot to get supplies. He ended up getting here at 4:00 and wasn't done until 8:00 o'clock that night. The job isn't finished yet but he cleaned up after himself.

    I was going to submit my claim online but it stated that I didn't have a contract. I ended up calling. When I called the number that was listed, they told me to just go ahead and put in a work order over the phone, and going forward, I should be able to do it online. It was quick. Home Shield put the ticket in. Once they took my information down, they stated that I would have a technician come out the next day. Unfortunately, it was postponed. But it wasn't a long postponement. The technician came out two days later.

    The technician came in, introduced himself, and stated what he will do. He came in with the protection to put on the floor just in case anything leaks. So, I just told him I would get out of his way, and if he needed me, to just call my name, and he did. He found the problem and he resolved it. He was in here a little over an hour. AHS is good to have because my house is 20 something years old. I don't know if everything has not been replaced. Hopefully, I don't have to call often. But it’s a source of comfort to have just in case something goes wrong. But so far, it’s my refrigerator.

Affordable Heat and Air said it would be on that Thursday between 2:00 and 6:00. Then the guy couldn't be here at 2:00, so they called me and let me know that he would be running a little late and asked if that was okay. I said yes. Everything was A-OK, super job.

    The water was clogging up in my master bathroom. It wouldn’t flush and go down. If I'd run the shower, it’d back up in there, so there was something stopped in that pipe. I filed it on the internet. I put in what was going on, checked the boxes, and wrote a brief description. American Home Shield sent me over to John Hudgins Plumbing and they called me the next day and set up a time. The guy came over and got into the main line and snaked that out. It got a few roots and stuff and he went to that particular toilet and got something out of it. I was very impressed with his service and the effort he put into it to get it done. It was over and above. I've already had another issue and the guy came right out so he's dealing with that one job. The coverage is great and I've had to utilize it already.

    When I went to turn the heater on the other day, it blew room temperature air. It wasn't heating anything. I let it attempt to heat for over a day and I tried to mess with the circuit breakers and do all the normal stuff. But it would never come on. So then I contacted American Home Shield because that's something that should have been taken care of when the AC unit was replaced back in October 2019. I was already on a military deployment at that time and so I was gone until July of this year. It turned out when the guys came out, that whoever installed the AC unit didn't wire the heater up correctly. It shorted out the thermostat as well. So they had to replace the thermostat. Two guys came out and they were super courteous and super helpful. They were great. I live alone and having American Home Shield is my sanity for owning a house.

    We bought the house last March and our claims have been some minor issues. Our built-in microwave went out and so we had to have a new part put in. Then the heating mechanism on our dryer went out and they had to replace it. Also, the compressor on our air conditioner went out during the summer and they put a new compressor on it. This is the fourth time I’ve submitted a claim with American Home Shield. There was a relay switch on our air unit that burned out and so it was continually running. I tried to do the claim automated but my voice was too twangy for the automated system, so I ended up talking to somebody. But it went very smoothly. The contractor was great and I had no problems with him. He was very professional and got it done as quick as he could. It took about a week from the time they ordered the part to be able to put it in but he helped us understand what was going on. He got back and fixed it as soon as he got the part in.

    My refrigerator wasn't cooling right and the freezer part was icing over because there was an ice maker in there that we didn't have hooked up. Good Guys Home Repair fixed the strip around the door 'cause it was off track. My wife said that the techs were very nice and polite. Everything has been working well since. However, AHS sent me an email saying that for $75, I could get my heating system checked out. I put in a request to have that done and they took $75 from my credit card.

    After a couple of days, I didn't hear anything and I got a notice saying my request was still pending so I called them. I then found out that my request had been canceled. I asked their rep why and then she said she would put me on hold for a minute. I sat on hold for over 15 minutes before I hung up. She could have gotten back to me after I sat on hold for so long. I was planning on calling AHS back and hopefully getting a different rep 'cause I could hardly understand her I got anyway.

    There'd been some problems with our new home with some electrical that needed to be worked on. The two electricians were great. Both of them were very diligent about making sure that they pick up after themselves. This latest guy, I had to vacuum anyway, so I told him I would clean up most of the debris. He was willing to do it, but I told him not to bother since it was my turn to do the vacuuming. As far as the claims process, you just have to follow the procedures that Home Shield has as far as what can be worked on and make sure that you meet their criteria before they'll work on some stuff. Home Shield is a good program and it's worth the money.

    I had a business with American Home Shield then I canceled it and went to another company. I didn't like them so I came back to American Home Shield. Recently, a plumber fixed my thing on the bathroom. I'm very happy. He was a good man. He said I needed changing in the metal of the handle. I told him I called American Home Shield to fix my shower, not my handle. He went back to his truck and told me he got something. He put the metal in and now the shower's working fine. It was a great experience. I'm going to keep American Home Shield with me for many more years. I'm not very happy with them though because I haven't gotten the little pamphlet or book that they were supposed to send me. Also, I received a statement that I gotta pay 29.37 every month.

    Our thermostat wasn't responding to changes. I called AHS and they gave me the name and number of their vendor. They placed a call and the tech was communicative. he showed up a bit early and explained what he was doing throughout the process. It turned out that there was a loose wire in the connection between the HVAC and something up in the attic. The rep's explanation was really helpful and that helps us be more clear about how we're working the thermostat. He was able to connect whatever wires were loose and everything has been going fine since then.

    I had a light in my laundry room that when I turned it off, it didn't look like it turned off completely. My circuit breaker is always tripping every morning, guaranteed a part of the house is off. So I called MC Electric to come out and they inspected the light. They did a few things to it. But the circuit breaker box is still tripping. They did give some advice on the circuit breaker box. Unfortunately, American Home Shield does not cover circuit breaker trips. So the best thing about yesterday's visit was the verbal advice and that was okay. I have someone from Pacific Gas and Electric coming out today to give me more advice. But in this particular instance, the service was satisfactory.

    American Home Shield could make an improvement if they put in a box in their website where you could describe the problem in more detail. They just have everything boxed up. So, you click “Electrical,” but you're not able to say much more than that. Right now, I am considering canceling American Home Shield. I am just hanging on because I haven't found anyone else yet. I've had to call for the same problem twice with American Home Shield. One issue was with a toilet and another issue was with the same light. So I spent an extra $200 to fix problems that should have been fixed the first time.

    For example, I called for my garage door opener. I was having some electrical problem with the light that wouldn't turn on. The person that came out looked at it and said he wasn't gonna do anything. The contractor said that parts will be replaced. A garage door opener is not cheap. But it seems like the contractors are trying to save their own money. Some of the contractors are trying to make the cheapest repair possible and not really following the spirit of the contract. About 70% of the time I've felt good after they left.

    I've made about eight calls for service for various things. I feel like I've wasted $300 for nothing. For some people, that may not be a lot of money, but it is. But I do like the service with American Home Shield. It relieves me from personal hassle of spending all day long trying to fix something I may not be qualified for. But 1/3 of the time, I have not been fully satisfied. Also, there is a haphazard method of checking up to see if the customer was satisfied.

The second time, they did something that had to do with overheating. It worked for a while and then it started to blow cold air. The third time they came out, they said it was the motherboard and that they had to order the part. It would take three to five days for the part to come in.

    The air conditioning had this pipe that connected in a T-shape with another pipe coming from one of our sinks and that was leaking. The contractors that AHS sent had to redo all the connection for that and that resolved the leak, but it had damaged some of the wood underneath the sink. But the serviceman got it all resolved quickly, so we were happy with the service. He was polite, very knowledgeable and observant of COVID precautions.

    However, when I submitted the claim with AHS and the thing was automated, they had a lot of preset things that I could select from. There was a limitation to really explain what the issue was and what category it fell under, whether it was plumbing or AC. 'Cause that one area was part of the AC condensation drip line, but it also fell under a plumbing leak category. So, there was a gray area that was hard to know what selection to choose. But I was able to make an informed guess and worked out.

    Also, early on in the process when we had the problem, we started a claim online and I put my contact information, but I didn't show that I had received a call. But then when I called again, they said that they had tried to reach out to me but they were unable to, so they just marked it as unable to reach me. But I had no record of an attempt to be reached out to. Other than that, AHS is a good service. It does exactly what I needed to do at that time of need.

    The contract says that American Home Shield would cover all these systems and when the providers come out, they could find an excuse why the issue was not a covered item. The last visit was as a result of the gas system being turned off. The air condition and heating is in the attic. There was work done in the neighborhood where the gas lines were changed out. The plumbers who turned off the gas lines in the attic with my AC unit apparently didn’t turn it back on. And so, that was the resolution to the problem.

    The technician was a nice guy but he embellished something else on the ticket to make it seem like he did something other than turn the switch back on. He probably flipped the switch in the unit and our heating came back on. I was annoyed that I had to call the claim in twice. When I initially called in, I said it was the air conditioning unit. When I called to schedule an appointment, the lady said I had to call American Home Shield again and specify heating. I was billed twice for co-pays and it was one issue. I've had AHS for several years and then switched and went to somebody else, and came back. So, it's been more than five years this last time. I came back because I'm loyal to a fault. It's easier for me to stick with the devil I know versus the one I don't.

    The quality of work that the contractors did recently was excellent. This last transaction with AHS was great. But every other transaction I've had with AHS was horrific. I get transferred to India and I'm in this never-ending queue and circle of runaround. I end up feeling like they're just trying to wear me down so that I give up. It's also frustrating for me to not be able to communicate clearly and concisely, especially when I'm in a situation. Not being able to speak or to understand the agents is a frustrating thing. I had the worst situation. I live in Phoenix, Arizona and my AC went out in the summer. I have a child and pets. It was getting upwards of 105 degrees inside my house because it's 112 outside. They absolutely did not care and would not do anything to help, and it was a major struggle and fight with them. But this last transaction then was easy and enjoyable.

He did the tune up then talked with me about things that he recommended to help it last longer and things that I might wanna follow up with to improve my system. I had some questions and he took the time to answer them. It went really well.

    American Home Shield is really good. They seem to be really responsive and get people out here pretty quick. I resisted getting a home warranty for a long time because I like to pick my people and know who's coming and that I trust them. But, so far, the people they've sent out have been really good. Filing a claim is pretty easy. You just go online, fill out the request then you get a callback. Unless you have a weird situation, then you call. You're on hold for a little bit because of COVID, but you just have to roll with that. Everybody's lines are tied up because of that.

    I had two different claims to American Home Shield. The first one was to fix a broken shower head pipe and turn-valve knob to switch from shower mode to tub mode. Then, the second thing was a mainline clogged. I did the claims over the phone. I spent probably 11 hours of 24 on the phone with American Home Shield trying to get somebody out to my property. It was not a great experience for me. They could not get somebody out here and I went for five days without a working toilet, shower, laundry, dishwasher, anything water, plumbing-related. I have one bathroom.

    Melton Plumbing is fine. First time they came out here to fix the showerhead. The guy wasn't able to fix it but then he had another technician that he felt confident he could, so he came up the next morning. He was in and out within 10 minutes, and the issue was fixed. They had to order a part for the knob for the shower, to go from shower mode to bathtub mode. That came in. They came and repaired that. They were great.

    My issue with American Home Shield was initially, they did not put this work order in as expedited, and it absolutely should have been. I expressed that we only had one bathroom here. So, anytime we had to use the restroom, we would have to leave the house. I have a special needs son that is not potty trained. I wasn't able to bathe him. We would have to go somewhere else to bathe. I expressed that to American Home Shield. They were well aware of it.

    The fact that I called on a Friday at noon, and they couldn't get somebody out here until Monday evening at 5:30 was absolutely mind-blowing to me. They offered, “You can use a third-party and we can reimburse you.” One of the main reasons people use home warranty companies is because they may not have the means to pay out-of-pocket for a $200 service call or a $250 emergency call.

    I've used my warranty program for different things. I live in an older home. That's why I keep it. I pay them a monthly annual fee to service me. I tried to explain to them that, “This is why I keep it is because I don't have hundreds of dollars, or sometimes it can get upwards to thousands with plumbing issues, etcetera.” They did not expedite it initially. I had to call. I was on the phone for like five hours one day and six hours the next day on a Saturday. I said, “You guys have got to do something.” They offered me a $75 inconvenience credit, which I never saw. I said, “Go ahead and just use it towards another $75 call to get another company out here.” They were never able to find another company. I was never reimbursed that $75. I finally was so mentally-exhausted dealing with them, and I didn't even call them.

    I hung up because I was on hold for a supervisor and I was so over it that it wasn't worth me getting frustrated, irritated and upset again. It's not everybody's experience. I've had other issues where I've had to call and use my warranty program, and they've been decent about getting people out here. But this time was absolutely unreal that, in May, I will not be renewing with American Home Shield. I will use a different home warranty company.

    I didn't feel like they were doing everything they could have. I went five days without a working house. Also, it was very difficult to understand the customer service department people. Their English was not very good. There were several times where I'm like, “Hold on, repeat what you said.” It was not easy to understand what they were saying all the time. Of all the times I called, I spoke to one person that English was probably their first language. The others were not.

    The washing machine would not spin and I immediately reached out to Home Shield. I was given an expectation when the contractor would contact me and they met my expectation. When the Sears technician arrived, he knocked on the door and he had all the proper security, face masks, shoe booties, and everything in place. He explained to me who he was and I let him into the house to look over the machine. He determined that the motor underneath was fried and it was more expensive to fix than to replace because it was such an older model. We were given many choices for a replacement and it was overwhelming, but in a good way.

    I needed a toilet flange repair. I ordered the service through online. I paid my service fee and after that, the contractor came and they resolved it. The online service was good. But sometimes, for water leakage, it would be good if someone can come immediately. In my case, they told me that they would come only after 15 hours. But apart from that, everything was okay. The contractor was good. I gave him the clue and after that, he was able to identify the problem. The interactions were good. After the flange repair, my toilet was rocking a bit. So I had to call him again. Then he came back and he fixed the toilet. So far, it is working fine. I have been using American Home Shield for the past two years. It does great things to me.

    I've used AHS twice and my experience had been wonderful. Everybody that they sent out has helped and solved the problems immediately. It is the greatest thing and I'm sorry I didn't have it sooner. But when call they over the phone, you have to wait for at least a half hour to talk to somebody to submit a claim and that's a pain in the neck. For the last claim I made, I did it online and I got an immediate response. They contacted somebody and within the next day, the guy was here. So, submitting claims online is much easier.

    One of my claims was for my main bathroom. I had taken a shower and the water was turned off. But when I turned that little thing on the faucet that you’d pull up to stop the water from the shower to go back into the tub, the water that was left in the pipe shot out of the wall. So, I called and told AHS what happened. The repairman came, looked at it, and was trying to fix it. He said that whoever did it messed it up and that they'd just put a new one in. Then, he showed me what he did, ran the water to show me that everything was okay, and it was all fixed the way it should be.

    I've had American Home Shield on and off since 1986. My son and other son have used a couple of other home warranty companies and keep coming back to American Home Shield too because the others just don't work as well. American Home Shield is very smooth and they follow up, and I like that. I've had the dryer repaired twice in less than a year under the original warranty. When the original warranty ran out and it still wasn't fixed, they wouldn't come out again, so I called American Home Shield and they sent Ace. They were on time, they wore masks, and they put covers on their feet. The guy figured it out and he was in and out in a reasonable amount of time.

    I called about another problem with my icemaker that wasn't working and I couldn't believe how fast the techs were. They were out here, they figured that it needed a new icemaker, they ordered it, and they already set up the appointment to return. American Home Shield is not a cheap policy, but it pays for itself, and you got to like it when someone is professional and you get what you pay for. They don't undercut you. They take care of the problem, which is huge, so I highly recommend them. They're excellent.

    My sink was leaking, and my garbage disposal stopped working. It was working, not working, working, not working, that type of thing. I called, put the claim in. The guy from First American Plumbing came and he was quick. He just came in, looked at it to see if he could fix it, and said, "We need to replace this. “ And then he fixed it and did what he had to do, in record time. And that was it. Everything seems to be working fine. I can use my sink now, because before I couldn't. It was very inconvenient to not be able to use it. I was thinking I could get it fixed without having to put a claim in, but I couldn't deal with it anymore. I called somebody else outside Home Shield and they would charge $450 for it. So, I was happy.

    This is the first time that I felt the benefit of AHS actually played into a factor. I was almost getting ready to cancel because of the cost per month. Even though it was just a 100 bucks, but still, I felt like, "Okay, well, I got a little benefit from that this time around." However, the cost is a little higher than what I used to pay. I'm not too happy about that. What I don't like is, like this guy came, he's a plumber. I have other plumbing issues, but because Home Shield only does per service, it can get expensive when you have different things going on.

    This is the second time I've used Home Shield. The first company that they sent out to my house was not professional and I let them know that. They refused to do the work for many reasons, but Home Shield was very good about getting another company out here right away. Whenever I called, they were able to help me with my questions.

    My washing machine was not repairable. We purchased a new washing machine that has already been delivered and set up. Alfa Appliances, the second contractor, replaced a part on my dryer, but Home Shield ordered the incorrect part. So, when the guy came here to replace the part, it was not the right one. But the good thing is, Alfa went ahead, went locally and got the part, and they came back the next day to replace the parts. They were beyond amazing. I have a cooktop that they could not repair because it's out of date, so I'm getting a new one through Home Shield. I already talked to them yesterday. So far, it's going good. It was a long process because I contacted them mid-October. My dryer was fixed the week before, and my cooktop was ordered yesterday.

    We did not get the washing machine through Home Shield only because we did not want the one they recommended, and the one that we wanted was out of stock. So, we got the cash-in-lieu. We went to Home Depot and purchased our own machine, and then we got reimbursed. I just received that check yesterday. They're accurate so far.

However, there was a time when my air conditioner went out a few years back and I reached out to them and it took a couple of days for them to get out. It was 102 degrees outside, so that wasn't too nice of an experience. Other than that one hiccup, American Home Shield has been good.

    I would recommend American Home Shield. I've had excellent experiences with them in the last five years or so. However, the recent experience was unusual and probably the second kind of dissatisfying work order I've ever had with them in all my years. The toilets weren't flushing well and the guy had to roto-rooter them. He also replaced something in the tank in order to let more water in. I was satisfied with the work completed but I was dissatisfied because I did not get any type of receipt or a letter telling me what was done and the price. It's a rental property and I need to keep track of things like that. I called about a half a dozen times to AM PM for the number, and every single time, I just got a recording and I couldn't leave a message. There's no way I can get in contact with them and I tried all week. I don't want to conduct business with them ever again.

    I always have to ask for that piece of paper saying what was done and usually, I always get it. I always can get in touch with them but this company is just like they call you, you don't call them. Also, with AHS, I have to call between six and seven o'clock in the morning Arizona time or else I get put on hold forever. Once I get through, it's now an automated system so I never talk to a live person. But things get moving forward and I get assigned a tech.

    Those guys with KG Appliance Repair are good. They know what they're doing. They're going on by the rules. They give you the right feedback or what needs to be done and try to work as much as they can with you. The fridge was already broken so there was nothing they could fix ‘cause the model’s really old. So far, with Home Shield, they haven't really resolved anything. We're now waiting and it's been two weeks without a fridge. We don't have anything so we're buying day by day. I'm not too happy. They should be able to at least give you the right information so you can make the right move for your family. I have little ones. I have a three-year-old daughter and I have a five-year-old. You can’t even have milk in the house because you don't have another fridge either. You're on your own and that's exactly the same thing that happened when my AC went off.

    You have to be on it calling every other day. I was waiting because they said they were gonna replace them. I sent an email to confirm that I wanted the item but nobody ever took the time to reply and say, "We don't have the item available until next year, January 7th. We can give you a replacement card for 1,300 so you can go ahead and go buy it yourself.” They never reply until I call. That was on Friday when I called and they were finally able to tell me what was going on. I don't think somebody should have the coverage and they're waiting for an appliance to be replaced until next year.

    Home Shield is not denying to help you but they're not making the right move to satisfy the customer. The option and the coverage is good. But they should really be on it not just us as customers calling. They don't give you the feedback. You have to be constantly calling and pushing and waiting an hour and a half. Sometimes, they're really rude too. They get an attitude like why am I calling so many times. If I could, I will change right away and go with another company. I've been getting emails but I don't want to because I'm still in the process and I don't like to be jumping from one company to another.

Then when I took it out this time, they said 75. So I thought that was my contract but it was 109. I don't remember $109 being mentioned anywhere. So it's a $34 increase. They should have let me know about that. But that was the only thing they ever did that I did not like. I pay my bill every month on time and I've recommended it to other people and my daughter has taken it out because of me.

    One of the things that I like about American Home Shield is they cover quite a bit. They cover the major things that you need in your house and that you use on a daily basis. They cover plumbing, electric and all major appliance. They fixed my oven twice. The third time, I didn't want it fixed, I wanted to replace it. They gave me a check for 290 something dollars, whatever it cost to get it fixed, and I put that towards a new oven. They repaired my refrigerator twice. I did get a washer out of them comparable to what I had so they had paid off.

    They keep going up on their fee but that’s understandable ‘cause everything costs and everything goes up. But for any home coverage, there’s gonna be a catch-22 especially when you deal with old houses. I had a hot water tank replaced. They covered it. However, because it’s an aged hot water tank, I had to put out a hundred something dollars. I also don’t use American Home Shield for the check-up ‘cause they charge 75 and I found somebody doing it for $65.

    I have a claim that is still pending. The guy was being polite and courteous at first. He said he couldn’t open up my wall because of the age of my house and what’s behind the wall. His company would charge me between 195 to 295 just to cut a hole in the wall so I got somebody to open up the wall like he said. My nephew came and opened the wall, and he only charged me $50. Then they were saying that they wanted the wall opened two feet higher. This is an old house and I know that there are gonna be problems ‘cause I got galvanized pipes. I don’t think that the opening in that wall needs to go any higher than what it already is. They said they can’t come back out until I show proof that the wall has been opened two feet above what’s already been opened.

    I was asking for a second opinion and American Home Shield did send out one who was saying the ceiling may be opened ‘cause we might not fix the problem if we don’t know what’s going on in the ceiling. He was also saying the opening needs to be lower which kind of makes sense to me more so. But right now, everybody agrees it’s the hot water thing that’s under the bathroom that’s leaking. We don’t know about anything else that’s going on in the wall. The second plumber came two days ago. I called this morning and he submitted his report which is under review. They got 48 hours. If the second plumber agrees with the first plumber, it will cost me additional $75. If the second plumber does not agree with them, it would be free. July 10th was when Mayes came out. The problem is only getting worse and the wood is building up in the ceiling ‘cause I don’t want to do something and they’re gonna say I did something. I’m waiting for American Home Shield to make a decision and roll.

    This is my second claim and the first time going back and forth and I’m not agreeing with the person that made the decision. The first time was my furnace. I had to go back and forth but the same people kept coming out until they found the problem. I understand that sometimes you don’t know what the problem is and you got to fix one then you find something else. It did not cost me any additional money and I’m okay with that.

    My heating unit wasn't working and the gentleman from Piedmont came. He appeared to resolve the issue and he did it quickly. American Home Shield's claims process is pretty simple. But I haven't been 100% comfortable with some of the people that have come out. One time, I've had one of the people to come out and say, "You know what? I can clean your whole system for $90 if you just give the cash to me. And that way, you don't have to charge it to your account." American Home Shield could do better vetting with the companies. I had two companies that came out just to do my air conditioner this summer. The first one said I had to have all this done. I didn't trust it.

On the other hand, I thought American Home Shield was just gonna replace my microwave, but the tech said if they could fix it, they'll order the parts. There are two parts that they don't make anymore, so he said it had to go to a research team and they'd try to find the part. He said it might take a while. If they couldn't find the part, he would have to put in the paperwork and then it was up to Home Shield to approve replacing it or not.

    I would totally recommend American Home Shield to everybody. I love them. I love what they stand for. I love what they do for their customers. However, they should get vendors that are gonna be more forthcoming. The vendor they sent out was not transparent with me. He wouldn't do the work on my unit unless he did the upgrade work which is forcing me to use him to do a gas upgrade that I can do myself. He didn't wanna tell me what was costing $1,440 for upgrades when all I needed done was the unit replaced. He didn’t even wanna tell me on the phone when I called him. He was rude and was being dishonest. He's a dirty contractor and I don't have a room in my life for dirty contractors.

    I've had two other contractors come out. I had Right Temp then I had A/C Contractors come out on my furnace. It's not been a great experience with the vendors that American Home Shield sent to my house. He wanted to shove a dry log where the sun don't shine. I told them I was gonna call my own contractor and went for the cash out option. But with the cash out option, I'm still not getting enough to replace the unit 'cause the unit by itself is $1,200. That's excluding the labor. The lady said they didn't get the $100 fee. I thought they did because I gave them a card number. I was under the assumption I made the payment but apparently the payment didn't go through. She said they'd pay 500 and something but less the $100 for the service call.

    I've been very satisfied with American Home Shield. They're quick to respond to my inquiries. I don't ever feel like I've waited more than a few hours before someone at least acknowledges that I've sent in a request. I've also had good contractors who are very professional and willing to go the extra mile. I only had one that they weren't able to resolve my issue, but the guy was very quick to tell me before he left because he could not find the root of the problem. He told me that if the problem presented itself again within 60 days, they would come out for free. No one else has shared that with me.

    When I had to call back a week later because the problem came up again, they were there. They corrected it and did more than what I’d asked. I have not had any other issues, so I've been very pleased. I feel everyone should get a home warranty and I’d tell them about my experiences. When I purchased my condo, American Home Shield was given to me for a year by my real estate company. I have now been in my home over three years and I continue it.

She was an excellent person and she gave me a number to call directly because I didn’t want to pay the $75 over the phone. Then, I called somebody else and that person, instead of saying six rekeys, told me three. But I told him that I already talked to someone there and she told me six. They were only rekeying. They told me they were gonna change the locks because I didn't know they were just gonna do keys. So, they told me no, they're gonna change our locks, whatever we wanna change. They didn't tell me just the outside door. He went to investigate, then he came back and said that I was correct. But when I met the guy from Pop-A-Lock, he was very helpful. He provided excellent service and I was very happy with them.

    But AHS kind of didn't know what they were talking about when there are questions about the homeowners warranty. When you talk to one person, he tells you one thing and when you talk to the other person, he tells you a different story. So, I would like for them to know what the coverages are.

    The suppliers that American Home Shield is using take too long to get out here. It's not usually the next day or so. It's sometimes four or five, six days. Then they have to order a part, that's another five days, and they have to schedule, come out and do it. We're not happy with the two suppliers that were supplied. The Runyon put in a new icemaker last Monday or Tuesday and it didn't work. We scheduled to come out Saturday afternoon, so it's another five days. We're not happy with that. If that doesn't work, they'll have to order another new one. So, we're still not making ice.

    Then one supplier did a great job with the water heater, but they took a long time. They had the unit but they didn't have the crew. We had to wait for a week before they had a crew. I offered to pay extra for overtime on weekend and they couldn't accept that because nobody wanted to work overtime. I guess everybody's doing pretty well in the pandemic.

It's a month since I placed the complaint but nothing has changed and have called them more than 20-30 times and still hoping to get it fixed.

    I had my claim for a heater submitted back in September the 3rd. A contractor came to check it out, but it hasn't got repaired yet. I've been calling about it every day. They didn't get back to me. I called them. It's a back-and-forth situation thing. They sent one person out. They said some stuff that wasn't true like it was a current condition. I said, “No, it wasn't. It’s the first time it happened. And once it happened, I called.” Plus the gentleman was saying that water was leaking down on our thing that caused it, and it could be a fire hazard. That's not true.

    I asked American Home Shield to send a second opinion. They sent a second opinion out, and he said, “No, that's not true, what he’s saying.” The way the gentlemen has it now, it can cause my house to catch on fire. I've been waiting on them. I'm gonna call them back today because I've been waiting on them. I don't have heat. It’s getting cold. It’s supposed to be in the 30s. The other night, it was really cold. I have a litter in my car keeping warm because it was so cold in my mobile home.

    The second opinion person said that they need to call the first person back out to put it back like it was, and then they can fix it. They won't touch it. It’s really a headache. I told American Home Shield that they need to find somebody that can come out that will do it and be through with it. This is my very first claim to American Home Shield. I'm having second opinions. I'm very dissatisfied because I shouldn't have to call them. They should have called me. I called the first person they sent out, and they said that the claim was denied. American Home Shield didn't even call me back and said it was denied. At first, I had to call and find out. Then, I had to ask them to send out a second opinion.

    Since my stuff has not got fixed, I would tell others the whole story. I’d say, “Look, this is what I went through with them, so you might need to consider. And if you do get a warranty with them and they send somebody out, don’t let that person touch your heater or touch whatever the repair is, until they call them right there, while you’re there, on the phone, and see if they're gonna fix it before they mix something up.”

    I'm almost to the process of getting me a lawyer involved. I got disabled people and elderly people in my home. I'm disabled myself. Nobody volunteered to say, “Hey, it's cold. I'm gonna put y’all in a motel room,” or, “You go get a room and we reimburse you.” Nobody was saying any of that stuff. With this virus stuff, we’re stuck in a cold house.

The tech from GE Appliances was very knowledgeable. He knew what he was talking about. The process of doing a claim was easy. I just called in, and the response time was fairly good too. The only response time that took a little bit longer was when I had my spa looked at. Unfortunately, the spa guy was on vacation, but he made up for it. He was definitely very helpful. He was great.

    I've had to submit a claim in the past and it was so pretty simple and easy. Go online, submit it and somebody calls within 24 hours. Everything's always been fine with the contractors. This last time when my furnace went out, the tech happened to be a gentleman that I went to high school with and hadn't seen him in 23 years. So it was kind of an interesting experience. It was cool. We used to be good friends. Everything's working fine since the visit.

    Our freezer was not working properly and we didn't know why. The ice maker wasn't working either. Someone with Appliance Care came and repaired the freezer but the freezer and ice maker are not attached. My refrigerator has French doors with the freezer on the bottom. The tech replaced a black piece that was causing a clog. He then said the ice maker was broken and he ordered a new one. About a day after he left, my husband and I thought we heard ice. The tech said he would call when the ice maker came in. I thought, “Let's just make sure it's working by the time he gets here.” When tech called, I told him that the ice maker was working. My fear, though, is it's gonna stop working on day 31 after the tech had been here. He told us that if the ice maker stops working, we were to let him know and they would take care of it. I saved his number on my phone so that I could reach out to him. Thankfully, the ice maker is still working.

I had two toilets that were giving me some trouble and a leaky faucet in the bathtub. Drain Go came out and they were really good. They showed up at the earlier part of the timeframe they gave which made me happy. They were efficient. They came with two guys. One took care of one bathroom and the other took care of the other one. They fixed both things and were out within an hour. I was able to put all of the stuff on one claim ‘cause it was all plumbing related.

    American Home Shield was quick about this particular service because it was a water problem and water was spilling all over the house. All American got back to me really fast. The plumbing issue happened at 9:00 and by the time I called my warranty company, it was about 9:30. Then the plumber arrived at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. So, they came out really expeditiously. The guy did a really good job and he was quick about it. He had a mask on and we social-distanced as much as we could while discussing the issue. I was very pleased all-around.

    I've had them American Home Shield for two years and it's much better than the previous company I had before. Home Shield is probably more expensive, but it's worth it to me because I feel much more comfortable with them than my previous company. American Home Shield's customer service is better too. I had a couple of services this week and the last one was for my refrigerator. The people who were assigned couldn't get out until next week, so I called back and asked if they could find someone else. They assigned the claim to another person. A guy called me late in the evening and he came this morning and he was nice and professional.

    I have my American Home Shield service contract so that if I need service, I can call them and they would solve my problems. If I have to pay extra for a service like for when my claim is not covered, I would pay. However, if I call them and they tell me "We cannot help you", then I don't need AHS.

    I will definitely recommend American Home Shield. So far, so good. I had a couple of encounters like sump pump and furnace. With the sump pump, I got it replaced with a new one. I'm happy for that. With the furnace, there was nothing to be fixed, except to make sure everything it is working in order. For the sump pump, I did the claim in mid-October, and it was raining. I wanted the service to be much quicker, but it did not. It was taking like the normal cycle. I have informed that to them because it was fixed on Saturday. There was a weather forecast on Saturday that it would be raining in the late afternoon. The tech came in earlier than that late afternoon and he fixed it. But there was a delay between American Home Shield's approval and the agents taking into action. When something is urgent, it makes you feel good when it's responded in an exceptionally shorter period of time.

They were out here within an hour. By the next morning, they had the part, installed it, and it was working. So they were very good. We're pretty happy with American Home Shield.

Although I did not have a decent experience on all calls, the call for the leak under the house was decent. The contractor got there when they said they're gonna get there and they did what they said they were gonna do. It was good. They called me, texted me, and kept me abreast of what was going on as well. They found a very difficult leak under a slab. They had to go into the floor and jolt the concrete up. Once they did that, they fixed the pipe and then they patched the hole up with concrete.

They tried to be helpful, but they didn't end up being very effective. I had to live with the problem resolution. I'm tired. So this time, I decided to hit it off before we ever got started. I did some checking on the service of both the contractor that was initially offered and the other one that was offered when I called back. They had a 1 and 1.8 from the Better Business Bureau. I wouldn’t accept either of those, so I called back to the home warranty company.

    I asked for a list of potential contractors, so I can have the chance to vet them and then select one that's good. American Home Shield gave me a list of six and two of them had very good ratings. TSA was a local firm with a good rating, so I put the service call in with them.

    My most recent claim to American Home Shield is for the repair of my heater, and I'm still waiting on the refrigerator to be repaired. The refrigerator has been an ongoing project and it's taking forever. I am not happy about that because I don't have a refrigerator right now. This is weeks. The part came in last week, and the company that's doing it could not send their guy to my house until tomorrow from last week. So, when I first contracted with American Home Shield, I didn't realize that if I do have a problem, it's gonna take them possibly weeks to even get someone out and get a part. They're trying to tell me it's because of COVID, but it's taking forever.

    The company they contracted with only has one guy that can do this job. So, he couldn't come until Friday. If I was doing it on my own without the warranty, I would just call the best company right in my area who would absolutely have done it before now. But because I have the warranty, I had to wait. I haven't had a lot of repairs. I've had this refrigerator stop working. Then, a couple days later, my heater stopped working. But that guy who came for it was fabulous. He fixed it yesterday and it's good to go. I do get a hold of American Home Shield, and they do email me right away. They are good.

I'm satisfied with the timing. There are no unexpected delays. They try to get a technician in within days and the technicians are knowledgeable. The only thing is American Home Shield should lower their price. That would be nice. But I know the company needs to make a profit because that’s what they’re in business for.

    We have a three-door refrigerator and there's a clip that holds the door shut. The gasket on the top right-hand door broke. The technician who came ordered a pair of gaskets and he replaced the gasket that had broken. I kept the other gasket for the left door. We made a recent call because the clip on the left door gasket had broken. Usually, the first time the technician comes in is for troubleshooting and problem diagnostics. While he was here on the first visit, he took the gasket that I had and accomplished the fix. That was very much appreciated.

    Every time one of my friends gets a house or even just does something with their house, I say, "Go to American Home Shield and start paying for a home warranty. They'll definitely help you." I also advise people to make sure that the warranty is gonna cover all the appliances that they want it to. In the very beginning, we made a mistake. We didn't have something covered, but then we fixed it and upgraded our plan to cover everything. If anything ever breaks, we don't have to worry about replacing it. We can just put in a ticket.

    Every once in a while, there's a miscommunication between American Home Shield and who they contract out, but that's usually very fixable. We've never had any major problems. Submitting claims is a very simple and easy process, and I can normally get somebody scheduled to come out within a week to take a look. Recently, we had a problem with our dishwasher. The lights would come on, but it wouldn't start. The GE guy came, figured out what was wrong with it and ordered the part. As soon as it was delivered to our house, he came right back out and put the part in. Now, it's working.

    When the air conditioning was going on, it constantly ran and it had like a puff sound to it. It just constantly ran and ran, and it did that for about two and a half days. That was when I submitted the claim to American Home Shield. When the technician came, it stopped doing it. He tested it off and on in different modes. Since then, it's been operating okay. The thermostat is functioning correctly.

    I was very pleased with the service from American Home Shield and I would recommend it. There was one time I was dissatisfied last year. But that had nothing to do with American Home Shield. It was with the appliance guy. The website wasn't 100% clear as to what problem I was experiencing. It was with the refrigerator and the website said icemaker. I assumed it meant a refrigerator with an ice maker. So when the technician came out, he thought it was the icemaker that was the problem. I explained to him what happened, and the problem was the refrigerator motor. The compressor quit. I didn't know that was what the problem was.

    We lost all our food, but that had nothing to do with American Home Shield. What happened was they checked it out and it took them a week to get back to tell me that they had an okay to repair it. Then the techs came and took the refrigerator and had to take the doors off of the refrigerator to get them out the main door. This refrigerator LG model with the doors on it, it's kind of wide. So when they took the doors off and they left, they had the darn refrigerator for like five weeks before we got it back.

    I kept calling every three days, and they kept telling me that they're waiting for a part. I called a couple stores here in Tucson, and I said, "This is the type of model of refrigerator I have. Is there a backorder on compressors?" They said, "No." They got a couple in stock, in fact. So I kept calling the appliance store, and they kept telling me it was on backorder and all kinds of other excuses. Finally, we got it back. When they came back and they reassembled the door, the stainless steel door had a lot of dings in it now. I tried calling them and they never got back to me about it. But it was not American Home Shield's fault. I would call the 800-number, they in turn would call the contractor and then they were telling the representative the same thing they were telling me. It was a six-week drawn out process that was unbelievable. I wasn't happy with the technician.

    I had some leaking and a plumbing issue. IGD Plumbing came to our place and the tech was very professional. He went into our attic and found the leak. He put a piece in and I assisted him by trying the toilet, turning on the air conditioning, and turning off the water. It was a very pleasant experience. I was impressed that it wasn't a hassle to change my claim with American Home Shield. At first, I thought the issue was with the air conditioner but it wasn't. They were accommodating and they did very well. I needed the job done on a Saturday and IGD came on a Saturday. This warranty comes in handy and I feel very comfortable having a professional come in versus me trusting somebody else. If I know something is an issue, I can call American Home Shield.

    The washer had been leaking. We just had the garage repainted and everything was clean and sometimes, I'd get in there and it had water. I didn't know where it was coming from. I noticed that when my mama was washing, the hose was leaking outside. She would take out the clothes and it was still dripping. It wasn't spinning all the way. Then the dryer was taking an hour and a half to dry one or two pieces. So my mama said to call and tell American Home Shield. I did that and they said they'd have somebody come and check it out.

    John Broussard Appliance Sales was sent out. He was on time and very nice. He changed the tubing at the hose that was broken. Something with the spinning wasn't working. Then he had to change the rim around the dryer door and something else. My mama asked him if we'd get a new one and he said no, and that we've got better than the new ones as the new ones don't last as long as ours. We have Maytag Gold and my mama washes just about every day. Then he said he had to order the parts and it should be in within five to seven days, but with the virus, things have been being backed up.

    Before, I didn't know which one to go with. I looked at the other company and it said I'd get one month free and it was a little bit cheaper than this one. But then my cousin has used American Home Shield and it was no problem at all. I got them and I was really impressed. It was excellent. Except, somebody had called and they sounded like a foreigner. They said I had to put in a deposit of $150 or something. I was sleeping and I just said to go ahead and put it on my account. Then I called when I was fully awake and the lady said that nobody should have collected that. I told her that it was not on my bank statement 'cause I checked it. Overall, I was very satisfied with American Shield.

I called American Home Shield and I asked if that was covered, and they said it was. They sent out an HVAC guy within a week and then he ordered a new remote. He explained how the whole thing works and got it working. It was immensely helpful. Now, I have heat in the house. The guy was great in resolving the issue and setting up for me what I wanted.

    When submitting a claim, I'd rather take a beating than call American Home Shield. As soon as my contract is up, I'm canceling them. They don't pay much, their service charges are too high and their customer service is terrible. Generally, the people they send out to work on the appliances or plumbing are terrible. But the guy from Southway Appliance happened to be very nice. He had to come out twice because he had to get the parts but he was able to fix the dryer timely. So, I was very pleased with him. He was wonderful. Still, I would tell my friends and family not to even think about using AHS. I’ve had it with them. Two of my kids have them and they’re dropping them also.

    The contractor who came out and serviced my cooktop was great. He told me what was going on with it and he had to get some parts for it because they thought it was a certain thing, but they found out the cooktop was burned out. Getting everything together from start to finish, they ended up taking two weeks. American Home Shield will replace my cooktop and do right and some of the other things they haven't done right. They need to get it together. They always got to take $100 from somebody every time there's a call that's made and I find that absurd.

    Right now, they're doing something wrong in terms of trying to collect fees. They need to make sure that that is right, and they have all the information on file.

    The hot water heater stopped working. I was taking a shower and it started getting cold. I kept turning the hot water up and it kept going down. After I got done taking a shower, I went and checked the hot water heater and the hot water in the kitchen wasn't coming out hot. I went out and checked that the thing wasn't burning. I called American Home Shield to do a claim, and it was quite easy. I was told to expect the contractor out in 24 to 48 hours. It’s a long time to do without hot water.

    The contracting company sent me a text the morning of and talked the day before and the tech said he'd be here on this day between 12:00 and 4:00. When he he was here, we talked while he was doing the work. The issue ended up being a thermocouple. He took it apart, got in there and looked at it. In the old days, I could have lit the pilot light, but you can't do that anymore. He got in there and checked the pilot light and said, "The thermocouple is not working." He replaced it. It was good.

    I get the feeling sometimes when I've made the services that American Home Shield doesn't have enough people on contract. When I made the call out, they said they'd be here in like 24 to 48 hours. They came out within 48 hours after the thing went out. This guy had other work to do too. He wasn't sitting at his desk just waiting for a phone call from AHS.

    I'm concerned about the communication with American Home Shield and the ability to get any information about the status of my claim. The original request was submitted for the furnace services. There are two types of furnace, the floor furnace and the air flow furnace. There was a confusion between those two. My first complaint with my furnace was more than six months ago. It was sent to Paramount and they sent the technician three times. Every time the technician came for the same furnace, he found there was a part with the furnace that was wrong, but never really fixed it. My frustration grew with them.

    I asked American Home Shield to change that company for another one due to the fact that they did not complete the job. They always had to come back in a period of three to four weeks with same issue. Sometimes different problems, but it was the same original issue. There was no communication with the technician at all. He came in, did the job, and left. The guy was not friendly at all.

    After my request for a new company, American Home Shield sent it to again to Paramount. When I got the call from Paramount again, I told them I asked for another company because I was not happy with the technician and the results. They got upset and they said that they requested me to be assigned to another company. That was when Northwest Sundance came in. The technician has been very communicative. He attended to the service. He found the issue and told me what it was.

    A week later, the furnace stopped completely. I reset it. Then the technician came back on the 15th. We learned that the furnace had a major issue, and he needed to replace the whole furnace. From last week until today, I still don't have a furnace working and it's cold here. Every time that I call American Home Shield, it seems to me that they're confused about what type of furnaces and my order request for a replacement has not been processed yet. So they keep telling me that this is on the review panel or some type of preapproval or approval.

    Every time that I call and ask to speak to somebody, they said, "You cannot speak to somebody." I have to explain to them the whole issue over and over. It was really frustrating to me that I cannot even communicate with their manager or somebody who can give me an answer about timing and how long would it take for me to have somebody to replace or fix my furnace. We have kids here and two nights ago, it was 32 degrees. It is cold and we need the furnace. It's really frustrating for me and my family to depend on American Home Shield to give me an answer to when we can have heat in our home. We have to all live with one little heater and the house is over 2,000 square footage. In the daytime, when my kids do their homework, we have to go downstairs with the heater. We have to be all in one room.

    Our furnace had an issue and it was blowing out no hot air at all. It was convenient to put in a service request to AHS. I go online, log into my account, pay my 75 bucks and they have a contractor reach out to me to schedule a service. Paragon Mechanical LLC came and the techs fixed my issue quickly. That same night, the furnace went out again. They came out again and found that the circuit board had gone out for good. They had to order another one which will take 10 days if we're lucky. Then, they will schedule a time to come back and install it.

    If I pick up the phone and call a furnace company, they bring all the parts and get my problem fixed the next day. But, I pay a lot for it. Overall, having a home warranty company is fantastic.

    My time with American Home Shield has not been great because it’s taken me hours on hold to try to get someone on the line. I’ve been back and forth between several different departments to try to resolve issues. When I’ve called to file claims, I've heard that something is covered. Then when I go to my policy and tell them what it says, it's, “Oh, yeah. Maybe it is covered.” My biggest issue when I started with them was with my water heater. I called in March and it wasn't resolved until three to four months later. The reason being is because when the contractor came out, they couldn't do anything so they went back. Then once they went back, American Home Shield said they needed to get the information from this third party vendor but they couldn't reach them for two months.

    At that time, the pipe on the water heater was a black metal pipe. So that was dangerous and toxic. I was waiting for two months for them to get ahold of somebody to fix it but they never got ahold of them. Then they sent someone else out and they tried to charge me the $80 again. But I told them that the first person didn’t do anything so why are they charging me twice? Then they said I was right and that I shouldn’t be charged. So they took the charge off. It remained off for two weeks and then I got a bill for another $80. That went on for three months.

    I was on the phone for hours and hours and they said they would have the manager call me but the manager never called. They would tell me, “Oh, yeah. I see the notes of the last person. So, this is what we have to do to fix it.” They go to do it and it gets fixed. Then something in the system flips it, and then I get charged again. So I would not recommend American Home Shield. But when I spoke to the representatives, they did the best that they could do. They stayed on the phone with me for hours trying to resolve the issue. But itt was never resolved. The only way I was able to fix my water heater was on my own. I found somebody else and we had to pay them out-of-pocket. I couldn't wait months and months and months with pipes that were poisonous for American Home Shield to fix it.

    I purchased the home warranty from American Home Shield, waited my 30 days and my ice maker went out, called and they sent company out with a man in a unmarked car, with no credentials or badge of what company he was with. After looking at the refrigerator, he decided I needed a new ice maker, duh! He told me that they would have to order the part, three and a half MONTHS later and after several phone calls to AHS and the company they sent out phone lines were always busy. I looked online and could have had a new ice maker sent out the next day, so it was not a hard to find part. In the meantime I have had to buy ice for all this time. Canceling my contract and will tell friends not to use this company, it’s a rip-off!

    This is the second house we've had a home warranty through American Home Shield, and both times, we've never had a problem. It's been amazing and I've enjoyed it. Recently, I called them on a Thursday. They said, “Hey, we can get somebody out there Monday to take a look at it.” The guy who looked at it said “Okay. Let me submit this.” The ticket was put in Tuesday and I got a call back on Friday then two different guys came out to do the install on Monday. On both times, they were great. It took a grand total of eight days between start to finish. I loved it.

    We just had a garage door belt break. Submitting a claim with Home Shield was very easy. The contractor came out one day after, did everything he needed to do, and was very nice doing it. However, just because of the pandemic, everything has been so slowed down. It has been really disappointing.

    I had somebody take a look at my refrigerator and they said the problem was my fault 'cause I had too much product in the freezer and those were in the way of the fan. My son suggested that I get American Home Shield's warranty 'cause he has it in Florida and uses it all the time. So, I called AHS for the refrigerator. The tech was on time. He kept distance for COVID and he had gloves on. He knew what the problem was and fixed it. He said that I needed a new fan and he put a new one in. It has been working perfectly since then. Also, I had a second claim to get both my furnaces prepared for winter. They have been perfect since the tech came.

    I would definitely recommend American Home Shield. Usually, it takes a week to get somebody out to fix something and when they come, they have an attitude. All of the gentlemen sent by AHS have been very professional. I felt safe and comfortable with them. My husband is quite elderly, and so I take care of everything. I felt good to be with the techs and have them ask me questions.

    American Home Shield sent JNJ Pools for a split in the bottom part of the housing for the filter. The tech came out and he pulled it apart. He said, “Well, you got new filters inside there. So, yeah.” He said, normally, they're not as good a shape. But apparently, he said it looked like my top part have been replaced a couple times, but not the bottom part. Wear and tear was the issue and he fixed it. It was pretty quick, simple and easy.

    American Home Shield's claim process depends on what the problem is. There's certain things that's not covered that you don't find out until later, but we've kind of already learned all that. But as far as the pool goes and stuff of that nature, it's pretty easy. The JNJ pool people they sent this time was better than the company they used to have.

    I had a plumbing issue and it was taken care of quickly. It was a drain issue. Unfortunately, American Home Shield didn't cover. This was the first time I was using it, so I didn't know they didn't cover it. But I called and got an automatic service, and I just said that it was some water issue. I didn't know it was the drain, so I would not know they didn’t cover that. I didn’t know it was coming from the drain because the water issue was coming in a different place. I would not have called if they wouldn’t cover because then I had to pay extra $100 after I’ve called and directed the plumbing company. Requesting the service was easy though. It would be a good idea next time to double-check if an issue is covered. Otherwise, it’s gonna be again a problem for me because then I have to pay extra $100.

    American Home Shield is way better than my last warranty company, TotalProtect. I was with TotalProtect for a long time. My girlfriend had it as well. TotalProtect started having us schedule our own appointments and they didn't do any contact. They would send us an email with who we could reach out to and a lot of times we couldn't even get ahold of anybody. We needed something to be repaired and it could take a week to reach someone. On the other hand, American Home Shield's overall service is okay. Submitting a claim was easy.

    Gilmore's Home Solutions came out for a claim. I was given a call when he was on his way there so I could reach out to my cousin and let him know. I got to see the tech briefly because I had a doctor's appointment. When I was pulling in on my street, he was getting ready to pull off. We pulled up beside each other and spoke. He was pleasant and he explained to me what was wrong. He was prompt too. It was a really good experience.

    The only issue I had with American Home Shield was when I was trying to explain what was going on with my refrigerator. There's a language barrier when I'm speaking to the people. There was a guy that came out who said he had in his notes that he was coming to repair two refrigerators. I told him no and I had to continue explaining what the issue was. Other than that, AHS was okay.

    When we turned our heater on last week, it didn't work. We called American Home Shield again because the heat didn't work. When the guy came out here, he said the reason it didn't work is they put in a cheap motor blower and they didn't put it in correctly. I don't think we should've had to pay the $100 fee for someone. It's not American Home Shield's fault. They shouldn't have to pay it either. The people who did the job did a crappy job, and that was the cause of the heater not working. With the exception of the AC, American Home Shield has done a bang-up job. It's just that the cause of the heater going out was the fact that it was put in incorrectly. We were just thinking it seems fair that we should get the $100 back since the company they hired screwed up. The workmanship was shoddy. American Home Shield really has done an awesome job and it's not their fault they did a bad job. I just don't feel we should have to pay that $100.

    When I called American Home Shield, the first plumbing company that they sent said that it wasn't a leak. The tech came late and he was rushing to go to another job. So he didn't follow protocol. He never tried looking for the leak. He didn’t even turn the water on. He said the leak was coming from the bathtub. But I never heard of that a day in my life. I’ve been dealing with a plumber so what he said didn't mean sense. He said that he could put a whole bathtub in, so he was trying to get business for himself. I called American Home Shield and I told them what happened. They said I have rights to another opinion. My husband said he wanna get somebody else and try to find out what was really going on and what kinda leak. It was getting worse and worse and worse. We told American Home Shield that we needed to get another plumber and they did. The plumber found a leak and they fixed it. Everything went good.

    When I called and told the guy about the referral, I don't remember him telling me that I had seven days to do it. So we had to call the supervisors and they said, “Well, it's been since October 20th since you put in the claim. And usually, we don't go so long.” My husband talked to another department. When he talked to them and put in a claim, they said if the new person comes out and they say the same thing as the other plumber said, then we have to pay $100. But if they don't, then we don't have to pay anything.

    The contractor came out to fix my dishwasher. Originally, it took a little while to get scheduled and there were some communication issues, but they got me in. Then they had to come back because the first repairman left the part that we needed. So I had to wait an additional couple of days before they fixed it. When they did send someone back, he said that the part didn't need to be replaced, but rather it was a piece of glass blocking the line. So he took that out and replaced the part, but didn't get the chance to test it before he left. So it still wasn't working. They called me to make a follow-up visit and they came out and they had to replace the motor. So then, we had to wait another two weeks for that. But I understand that due to COVID. The most recent repairman was excellent. He did a great job. He was very professional and polite. He worked quickly. The dishwasher is working great now.

    Climate Heating and Cooling came out for a service request and they did a nice job. They checked out the furnace and the filter. The filter needed to be replaced and their tech did that for me. He was a very polite young man. I've had no problems with American Home Shield. But I had a problem with one company they sent to install the water heater.

    I have very limited space where the furnace, the water heater, and the water softener are. Before, the water heater was a little bit further from the furnace. But the tech who came put the water heater too close to the furnace instead of putting it where it was before. He said this was the way it had to be. But this move made it harder for the furnace man to do his job. I sent AHS a text about this but nobody replied. Other than that one experience, AHS has really done their job. As far as the contract is concerned, they've always helped me out with the companies. If I had a problem, they got a company and I had repairs.

I called them and their contractor came. They were prompt and the guy was very honest. Instead of saying I needed a whole new air conditioning unit, he said the issue was simple and he fixed it. That was really good because it was like a gazillion degrees outside and about that hot inside my house. He took care of it very timely.

    I was having trouble with my garbage disposal so I went online to schedule a contractor to come out and look at it. They asked, “Have you come up with a prompt? Have you look at the YouTube videos? Have you tried to solve this yourself?” I went in and watched the YouTube video and in five minutes, I'd solved the problem. I was really thankful that they gave me that option instead of saying, “We'll come out and charge you the 75 bucks and fix it in two minutes.” That was really good service, too. Recently, a contractor came out and did my annual checkup on my furnace. The technician that came out was very thorough. It was a good experience.

They said there wasn't any power to the unit so it would need to go to an electrician, but then there was a breakdown. Nothing happened in three weeks and when I called that plumbing company back, they said they had put in a work order to American Home Shield for it to go to an electrician.

    Either they did or they didn't, but something didn't go through and then I had to call American Home Shield again. They re-sent the plumber back out, so they could come out and say again that it needed an electrician, but then the process started working. An electrician came out a week later and did whatever they did. A few days after that, another plumber came out and replaced the garbage disposal. Now, it works.

    Majority of our problems have been with our air conditioner and it has taken anywhere from three to five days to get someone out on each of those occasions, which is a long time to be without air conditioning. So, I find that a bit frustrating. But once someone gets out, the process has been fairly trouble-free. The rep from Advantage Refrigeration & Air was the best yet. I was able to call their office directly and get ahold of someone, which is almost impossible most places. They squeezed it in quickly and then, they repaired the AC the next day with a spare part they had on hand instead of waiting for the actual part to come in. So, that was wonderful.

    How beneficial American Home Shield is depends on your needs. If you have an air conditioner that continues to have problems like ours does, it makes sense to have a home warranty company. But there are so many drawbacks for every pro such as waiting on hold for hours. AHS needs more customer service reps. But overall, we've had a good experience with American Home Shield.

    I found American Home Shield on the internet and it’s probably been a year since I went with them. I’ve had one bad experience with them but everything else has been good. The air conditioner went out so they sent a contractor, which was great. They were very timely and they fixed it. But the next day, the AC wasn’t working. So, I called again and the guy was rescheduled to come back. The guy said that they couldn’t fix it and I might as well put in a new furnace, which cost me $1000. And then, they fixed the air conditioner. But it still didn’t work a day later. I called again and they did something to it and it worked for about five days. It didn’t work again.

    I called AHS and they charged me another service fee to fix my air conditioner again. I spent about over two hours on the phone with them and I couldn’t get them to fix my air conditioner without a second service fee. It was never fixed in the first place so they were only supposed to include one service fee of $100. I had to pay $200 to get the same problem fixed that was supposed to have been fixed the first time. By the time we got the air conditioner fixed, the hot weather was already over.

    American Home Shield was doing good until then and having to charge me another service fee for the same issue was the only problem I had with them. I still haven’t had that one resolved yet. I’ve written a personal letter to them, which they didn’t respond to. I called three times and spent over two hours on the phone. The second time, they said they would take care of it and I wouldn’t have a service fee, and I still did. They don’t have an email address where you can email them so you kinda call them on the phone and you have to wait a long time to get a hold of them.

    I don’t know why they can’t rectify it and why they don’t contact me about it. 100 bucks is 100 bucks. It’d be nice if there was an easier contact where we didn’t have to wait on the phone a long time and since AHS has a website, they should have an email address. And they don’t. That would be a great improvement for their company and it would be more customer-friendly that way, especially since a lot of people are using emails now than ever before.

They should encourage real estate agents to throw in their coverage as part of closing to protect new home buyers. That can at least let home buyers see the warranty working which is when they will understand the value of it.

    There was an issue with controlling the heat. Submitting the claim to American Home Shield was quite easy. I did it on the phone. The lady I spoke to was excellent. She was very professional. I also spoke to the girl, Lisa, at the office for Liberty Plumbing. She was very nice, very professional, extremely accommodating, and kinda put me at ease with everything. It was a good experience. The plumber's name is Vinny. What a great guy. He was so laid back. He just walked in and he checked everything. He said, “I can fix this. Not a problem.” He was very professional, too. I would recommend that company to anyone. I also recommend American Home Shield to my friends and family, and they are a part of the program. I had American Home Shield many years back for my home when I purchased it. I went back to American Home Shield because I had a great experience previously.

    The service contractor came out pretty quickly for our backed up sewer and he appeared to unclog the drains, which I thought was good at the time. But the next morning, when we took a shower, water backed up in the bathtub. I called American Home Shield to say the tech needs to come back. They looked and they said that the claim had been rejected because the plumber said that the cause of the blockage was baby wipes and they don't cover baby wipes. It was not normal wear and tear. I asked where it says in the contract that we can't use baby wipes, which on the container says are flushable, and they could not tell me where it said that but they said they were not covering it. I'm very dissatisfied with American Home Shield. It seems like every time I call, I have a hassle.

    We were having trouble with one of the toilets and it has a history of not clearing over the last several weeks. We didn't know what the problem was. The guy with Bubba's Plumbing came out, looked at it, ran a snake down there and said he hit something. It's now flushing okay. He did a pretty good job. The problem was he never went outside to check the cleanout line. We had rain and ice buildup on our house and on the ground too. When the ice started melting, there was a crack in my key line out here in the cleanout. The plug on that cleanout was lost somehow. It was open. When the water was coming off the roof, it was filling up the line and backing up all the sewer from the street. It was going down my neighbor's driveway. We called back and said, "We need an emergency over here. We can't have this. I live in a country club." Even if I didn't live in a country club, we can't have sewer in the city running down into the street.

    American Home Shield said that they would try to get somebody out there but couldn't. The lady that we called back to said that she called three other plumbing companies and nobody could come out. Bubba's couldn't get out here until the next day. I had to go call a plumber to get him out here to get this thing fixed. I had to pay him on top of Bubba's so it cost me another 140 bucks. I wouldn't have had to spend the extra $140 had the plumber gone outside and looked at the lawn. It didn't arbitrarily get cracked or dislodged by itself. It didn't do that from the time he left to the time he was gonna come back in two more days. Under emergency situations, there ought to be somebody that we could call. But overall, American Home Shield does a pretty good job.

    I had two back-to-back claims with American Home Shield. I did a claim for my dryer that was not working and I also had a winter tune-up for my furnace. When the contractor from Fick's was there, he was very nice. He answered the questions that I had. He did tell me that he was turning my gas with the temperature or the pressure. He was turning it down because I have too strong of a filter. He was saying the furnace was working too hard. It would shut itself down. He also said if I had any questions or any issues, to call him back.

    That same day, I went out and asked the filter that he recommended me to get. It was in the price range that he said. They were at my home last Tuesday. This past weekend here in Maryland, it was cold and I had to turn my heat on. However, I had to turn my thermostat all the way up to properly heat my home. So I called American Home Shield and let them know what was going on. I also let them know that the guy was just out there and asked if he could come back because he said if I had any problems, to call him back.

    They said they'd reach out to the contractor. They called the contractor and had the contactor to reach out to me. When I talked to the contractor, the lady at the office talked to the technician that was at my house and he said that if I wanted him to keep the temperature where it’s at, just turn my thermostat up which means I'm gonna have a higher gas and electric bill. If I wanted him to come back out to adjust my thermostat or to adjust the temperature or my furnace, then that was gonna be another service call. I was not happy with it.

    When I called American Home Shield to tell them about it and what was going on, they said what I did was maintenance and not a service call so I would have to pay another $75 in order for Fick’s to come back out and fix my furnace to turn my temperature back up. I said, "It's unacceptable because you took my $75 in 2.5 seconds to even schedule the appointment and he told me that if I had a problem, to call him back. What happened to your 30-day rule?” They said the 30-day rule does not apply to tune-ups. I said, again, “Not acceptable. I need to speak with a supervisor.” This was two days ago and I still have yet to speak with a supervisor.

    At this point, I'm getting a little pissed and a little perturbed in reference to that. I'm about to cancel my contract and go with another company. No one ever called me back and I should not have to call them back to properly answer my questions and tell me why. If the technician turned me down, why can't he come back and turn me back up or check and see.

    For my dryer, they sent an appliance guy out. He said it was nothing for him to do. Something is going on with my electric. He was only getting 120 when he should be getting 240 and to call an electrician. I called American Home Shield back and they had an electrician to come out. He tested it and said, “You need to call your local gas and electric company. It's nothing that I can do to fix this. They're gonna have to fix this.” I called my local gas and electric. They came out the same day and fixed the problem.

    Two days later, I called American Home Shield and said to roll my money over from the appliance side to the electrician because the appliance guy did not do anything. It was the same thing with the electrician. I should get my $75 back because the technician did not fix anything. He referred me because he could not fix the problem. They told me they're not refunding my $75 because the electrician completed the call by telling me to call PGE. So two things happened within the same day where I was not satisfied with the answer. That answer is ludicrous to me from American Home Shield.

    I am not happy at all. I'm on my second year having them. I've made four calls to them and three of the four calls ended up bad. Earlier this year in June, I had another big episode issue with them in reference to my air conditioner. I would not recommend anybody to come to them because their customer service is horrible. I'm getting the problem fixed outside of them.

    My air conditioning unit that sits outside had a short, and Crispy Air & Heating came out in a timely manner and took care of the issue. I did two claims with American Home Shield at the same time. My hot water heater is rusting through. The contractor are coming out today, and that won't be good because they will not replace it today. They come out, they take pictures and send it to American Home Shield to determine next steps. That would be a negative experience.

    I've had good and bad experiences with American Home Shield. I did have one other issue with my air conditioner. It was peak summer and they did not get somebody dispatched timely. The first technician they sent out looked at the air conditioner and said, “We don't work on these.” Then, I had to wait another two days. So, I waited four days in a 100+ degree heat. But in terms of Crispy Air, that was a very good experience. I've done claims both online and over the phone. The person I talked to was overseas. They struggled a little bit to understand my issue. That was on the first claim on the air conditioning unit. As far as the contractors, everyone's been friendly, respectful and when they knock at the door, they're wearing masks.

    American Home Shield has been good so far. But the recording sometimes mixes things up when the recording goes on. When I called the plumber to double-check with him, I told him what I needed and not what the recording was saying. He said that he would have to call the company and get it changed. Big Orange Plumbing was only here for about 15 minutes and the cleanliness and everything were fine. The man took care of the job really well. He had a young man with him. He was teaching and he was showing the kid how to do it really well. However, my daughter had a serious problem with American Home Shield. They couldn't get the refrigerator fixed and they wouldn't compensate enough on it. But otherwise, I've had no problem at all myself.

    I had an issue with my toilet. This particular contractor I used, Joy Plumbing, was extremely professional. As soon as they were assigned to me, I got a call within 30 minutes. We were able to schedule an appointment that fit my schedule. The person they sent out was professional. I explained my issue and he explained everything that he was gonna do. After he fixed the toilet, he stayed around for about 30 minutes because he wanted to do a dye test to make sure that everything was completed and fixed.

    I’ve used American Home Shield for an electrical issue before. I do all my claims online and the process has always been pretty easy. Someone is always assigned immediately from them. Then it's up to the contracting company to get in contact with me. I happen to be working from home, so the process is going a lot faster now because the communication is coming directly from our cell phone. For the price that I pay monthly to American Home Shield, it's definitely worth it, especially if you own a home, because things happen. Prior to having them, I paid out of pocket for things that I need. The monthly cost than what I actually get when I do need them, in my opinion, is just worth it.

    Myers Comfort came out twice. The first time was to look 'cause my AC had stopped working. It was running, but no longer blowing cold air. Apparently, there was a rather large leak and they determined they could just replace parts, so they replaced two units the following week. The process was fairly straightforward. It used to be a bit more problematic before Myers did the, "Text your preferred appointment time thing," 'cause they're based on Birmingham and only have a certain number of days they actually come out to my area. But they did a good job. I also like the fact they were wearing masks. Our experience with American Home Shield has been very positive. I'd recommend them.

    We had a leak in the basement by the heating and air conditioning unit over the summer. We called American Home Shield and they sent out the Interstate Heating. The first time they came out, they said the drain was clogged and they cleared it. The problem didn't go away so I called them again. Then they said that up in the unit, the drain was blocked, and they fixed that. Of course, it didn't go away again.

    I called them the third time and they did a pretty thorough investigation of the unit. They found out that the unit had a leak in the refrigerant. When that happens, the cooling coils cool down considerably and they ice over and that's where the water was coming from. They called American Home Shield and American Home Shield authorized the changing out of my air conditioner and condenser. I was very pleased with the service I received both from American Home Shield and also from Interstate. There were a couple of service calls on my refrigerator too. I recommend American Home Shield very highly. I told my family and friends that they should put this policy on their house. It's about $100 a month and it's $100 deductible for a service call versus a 5,000 to $6,000 charge for an air conditioner.
