I was having an electrical issue. When the tech came out, he couldn't find anything wrong, so that puzzled me 'cause I knew there was something wrong. So, then I had to do a recall, which he just came back out yesterday. But when he came out, he was like, "You fixed the issue." Because when the guy was here, he said, "If I don't see the problem, I can't fix the problem," so it frustrated my husband a little bit. So, my husband took it upon himself and fixed the issue himself. I feel like I paid AHS for his service but he didn't do the service. But I recommend American Home Shield 'cause it's not their fault and they helped us with the problem.

Budget A/C, the contractor, was fabulous. We had a clog in a pipe that came out of our washing machine where you hang the hose and the water comes out of the washer into a pipe. Budget A/C did a great job. They communicated very well and showed up when they said they were going to. The young man who did the work was super personable and very nice, and he was able to fix it. So, everything was fantastic. In this situation, everything was perfect and went exactly the way I would expect.
I had a situation about three months ago with my dryer and it was a nightmare. I was ready to drop American Home Shield because of the bad experience. But this one went so well and it brought me back around. A lot of things are covered with the $100 deductible but you are at the mercy of the home warranty company with their timing, scheduling and contractors. In this case, Budget A/C was a good contractor. We had problems before with Sears and I was not at all happy with them.
Thank you for sharing your recent experiences with us. We are happy that we were able to get the issue resolved for you and we look forward to our continued business together.
Have a great day.

My wife who's not easily happy with a service was very pleased with Jeff, the repairman who came. I had this leak that was dripping enough water that I was a little bit concerned that it could get worse. Jeff came at an appropriate time and explained what was going on to my wife. The only thing I would critique about the service is when I did call the place, AHS could not reach Jeff. The appointment was from 2:00 to 5:00 PM, and it was about 4:30. I started getting nervous because my wife was at home and I wanted to make sure that it was still scheduled okay. I wish we were notified that there would be a delay. Jeff would have known earlier from previous jobs. He did eight jobs that day so he was getting behind but I wish someone let us know to give us a little leeway instead of just sitting around all day.

When my toilet was leaking, A-American Plumbing came in and fixed it. The plumber was friendly and polite. AHS has come out to fix anything that I have that's broken so far. It took a long time when I had an AC that needed to be repaired but usually, someone comes out within a week.

I filed a claim for the air conditioner through the American Home Shield website. It was user-friendly and I could figure it out easily. I received a text message saying that the claim was assigned and then the contractor called me. The tech texted me when he was 15 minutes out. He fixed my air conditioner and he also gave me tips on how to take care of it better. It was really good because I didn't report my outside unit but he looked at the outside unit to make sure that it was all okay. He claimed it was filled with dust and dirt, so he cleaned it out. He also cleaned out the weeds in it and replacd the capacitor. I was very satisfied.
The warranty from American Home Shield was a good purchase. Any service that I've had would have cost more than the yearly price for the contract. The service guy had electrician out here and it cost me $100. He was here well over an hour and he said the service call would have been $150. There was an electrical line in my garbage disposal that wasn't working. It was a plug in and it had gotten torn away from the unit, and we had to replace that. I’m pretty satisfied with all the work that's been done.

I've had quite a few claims with American Home Shield. Sometimes there's a week wait, when it should have been taken care of faster. I was frustrated with the first experience with plumbing. Th contractor had to come out three times before they did actual work. It seemed like a long process but that was taken care of eventually. The last claim was for the air conditioner and it was handled well.

A con artist had been here before at my nickel telling me that I needed a whole new system. This guy, Tristan, came out two hours later and had the whole thing humming. He was the greatest. Insurance is a bet and American Home Shield always lose. I've had a home warranty for 40 years and there has not been a year that it didn't work in my favor. I would never not have it.

I have a cracked plumbing stack and American Home Shield had to have the initial diagnostic done, then they're going to decide the course of action. I was never contacted about what needs to be done after the fact though. Pipe Solutions contacted me and let me know, but there's still the matter of what is and isn't going to be covered. They haven't even started the repairs yet. With American Home Shield, certain things are easier to call on than others. When it comes to plumbing matters, it's a bit more cumbersome. Electrical issues are easy and HVAC issues are straightforward, but anything that regard a bigger fix can be problematic at times.

It was leaking water inside the refrigerator, so I had a little bucket I had to put in there to collect the water. I made a claim with AHS and I didn’t care about paying the 100 bucks. But the process was fast. From the day I called, the tech came within less than a week, so that was awesome. When the tech came out, he told me that I needed to defrost it and that it was frozen up because it works harder in the garage. So, I defrosted it for two days, cleaned it up, and plugged it back in. It seems to be fine now.

Allan Electric was wonderful. I would call them again in a heartbeat. From the second since I talked to them, they came out immediately. I told them that the box had melted and they made it a top priority, because I was sitting in 105 degree weather without electricity. It was on a Friday, and they put me down immediately for Monday morning. At 7:30, they showed up on time. They ordered the parts immediately. They talked to American Home Shield in person, so it made the transaction go faster. I have had another problem, though, with American Home Shield.
I bought this house, and my friend said, "You should get American Home Shield. This house was built in 1992, so just in case you have problems, you need a backup." I didn't think I needed it, but I went ahead and got it. When my refrigerator went out, water went all over the floor. AHS sent Sears out two weeks later. I was without a refrigerator and Sears said they couldn't get the part. It took six months to get a refrigerator. I called American Home Shield almost every day, and they kept saying, "We're taking care of it. We're taking care of it. Sears isn't doing it." I'd call Sears, "No, we're taking care of our end. We're looking for the part." I finally lost it, and I said, "I can't live like this any longer."
My first experience, I would have never recommended American Home Shield, because they gave me the runaround so bad. It was the most horrifying experience of my life, and a lot of the people that I talked to, I couldn't understand a word they were saying. The second experience, when I had the meltdown in this house I just bought, was amazing.

The icemaker wasn't turning. The tech scheduled a video call. He was able to see that the motor had stopped in between and determined that that was probably bad. So, he knew what part to order and had it ready when he came out. The people that American Home Shield has sent out to my home have been professional, and they've taken care of the problem usually pretty quickly. The warranty always worked out for us with the things that we've had go bad. It has been worth it for us. I do like the option of doing the video call first because it saves some time.

I had my AC worked on twice. It never got cool, but it would kick on and the capacitor was shorting out. The first time, AHS sent Logue Heating and Cooling out and they did a repair. But after that, my electric bill went from 300 to 400. I called AHS and said that something was wrong somewhere. So, Everyday Heating and Cooling came out. The tech checked the capacitor and cleaned something with some wires. Then he checked the burners to make sure it was operating in conjunction with the air conditioner, and then the thermostat. He was great.
I also had AHS try to do another repair recently. The doors parting on my garage door broke so I couldn't open my door. When I looked at my contract, it says garage door parts and components. But when I called, AHS said that they we're sorry but the springs aren't covered. I told them that I thought the spring was a component but they said it wasn't. They also don't pay for the door track or the motor, which are parts and component as well. So, I had to spend $260 out of pocket on that one.
Other than that, when I would get connected to a representative, I couldn't understand them. They could hardly speak English and it was very hard to communicate clearly. In some cases, I've had to make two or three calls because the people I would talk to had really bad broken English. American Home Shield's reps were very friendly but by far, they have got the worst language barrier of anyone that I've dealt with in a long time. Despite that, I like not having to pay the entire price of the repair. AHS charges me $100 and I'm sure it cost more than $100 to do the repair.

I called and reported that my air was not putting out cold air, but warm air. There was back and forth with Cool Image Air & Heating, the company that was going to do the work. When I had Whirlpool for all my appliances here in my home, there was a wait for something, but not as long as this. This was a long haul with no heat in the high desert. American Home Shield doesn't have enough people working the company but they were nice. When I called them and told them to find another company to help me out because Cool Image Air & Heating wasn't able to give me the service within a reasonable amount of time, they had me holding the line, called around but said they didn't have any others available at the time. They were all swamped so I stayed with Cool Image Air & Heating.
It's been a long wait, but the work is done, and I'm happy to have my air conditioner is back after almost three and a half weeks. However, American Home Shield only pays $10 toward the cost of the refrigerant. It was 720 out of pocket for me to pay for refrigerant in addition to the $100 service charge. I didn't expect to have to pay for the refrigerant. The unit seems to be working fine but I need to call the Cool Image people and ask them something. There's a little evaporative spout out there. Some time in the past, when I ran my air conditioner, there was chilled water that would come from that little spout. I don't know when it's supposed to do that, how often, but I haven't seen any evaporative water coming out of that little spout, and I wonder if that's normal.
I had a claim for my garage opener and that's also resolved but that was also my responsibility for the battery pack so I paid for that. That was an extra $250. They were aware that I have an older home when they sold me the contract but they didn't replace the battery pack. That came in effect after the contract was already in effect and they were aware of it. Other than that, I'm not unhappy. I'm just wondering why the additional charges on my part that I wasn't aware of. I will keep using them and see what happens next, how much more out of pocket do they want from me if anything should come that I need servicing.

When we did the repiping of my steam system, I got a fair price, but the vendor was at my house at least a dozen times trying over and over again, mostly unsuccessfully, to complete the job. In the last case, the AC company did the job they were asked and completed the task, and I only paid the 100 bucks. Overall, American Home Shield is doing a good job and I am happy with them. Sometimes it's difficult to contact them, but that has improved over the last few months.

The techs that AHS sent came out because the air was out. I was hearing water coming out of the inside unit that blows the blower. The first time, the first one that they did was on July 13th. Then we had one on August 1. I called American Home Shield to have them either reopen or recall that claim because it wasn't cool anymore. The sound like I hear water, they explained it could be condensation that was there. I said, “No.”
Within the last two and a half-week period on the 13th till the 1st of August when I called them back out, I was only upset about one thing. I was upset because the cost of the Freon was astronomical. They put three to five pounds of Freon. It cost me about $200. I haven't had any problems with that one. Then on the 13th, on the other side of the house, it started getting warm. They came in on the 13th and put Freon in one, five pounds of Freon, and for the overall cost, it was $600.
They're charging me $100 and something per pound. They said, “That’s what the industry does because it’s a seller's market, it's not a buyer’s market.” Because they said the cost of Freon has doubled. I said, “At this rate, it’s really not beneficial for me to go through American Home Shield because I'm not finding any cost breaks. I went on it because it was extremely hot."
They paid $10. It’s not beneficial. I said, “Why’s it’s high?” The guy said he only did one unit on the other side. I said, “I wasn't home. I was out.” But my wife was there, but she doesn’t know anything about it. But I talked to him and said, “I need you to make sure that both units are filled.” My wrong assumption was that they filled both units. The guy came back and said, “You still have three and a half pounds that you need in this unit.” I said, “I'm not gonna sit here and argue with you. I need to get it fixed and I need to check on the inside because now, water is running from out of the closet into another room and we wipe that up.” The guy came back and he looked on the first.
The customer needs to know what is actually covered. If it's Freon we need to put in, you need to know that the cost of Freon is $120 or $160 now, so I don't need them to come here, charging me $125 for the visit, then turn around and tell me, “By the way you need five pounds of Freon and it's gonna cost you 675 on top of 125.”

We discovered water in the crawlspace. A person that was checking for water mitigation identified that the ductwork was sweating. It's producing its own condensation due to lack of insulation. So, we filed a claim with American Home Shield and they sent out Total Air Care who verified what the water mitigation team determined. So, they recommended that American Home Shield allow us to reinsulate. But I've not heard from them, and I've called twice. Total Air Care came out initially on the 6th, but they needed someone else to check. They finished that on the 9th. I called them on the 13th to see kind of where we were. I didn't get anywhere at all. I did call yesterday to see anything, and they said they were still working on it.
The two claims I did to Home Shield came from existing issues with the house that were not fully addressed. I had a dishwasher claim, which has been even more frustrating than the air conditioning. The dishwasher face was bent during installation. So, we contacted Home Shield. They sent out an appliance guy. He determined that the part needed to be reordered. Home Shield approved the order. The part is backordered. Just got the part in last week and that was eight weeks between the claim and the part coming. Then the new part was also bent, so the guy couldn't make the repair. He recommended that Home Shield just replace the entire unit because if the unit is available at Lowe's, it could be in within the week. He fears the part will come back bent again.
Also, when I called yesterday, I did it primarily to ask about the dishwasher, but I asked about the AC as well. The person I spoke with said they would know within 24 hours. That would be sometime today that they would make that determination. But they did have the report from the appliance guy. They did see that he made that request.
As far as Home Shield's claim process, the intake is incredibly easy. I was really impressed with how quickly we were scheduled. It's all done online. You don't have to worry about waiting for somebody, which was pretty helpful. Once your technician leaves, you can call them back easily because they're a local person. You don't have to be on hold for 25 minutes. But anything back from Home Shield after the technician's visit is pretty poor. They could follow-up even with just an email saying, “This part's been approved. This part is being questioned. This part is being processed.”

The AC wasn't working. Evidently, there was a leak in the coolant system. The contractor put some stop leaks and also filled the reservoir with Freon.

I had a claim but the vendor did not follow through nor didn't call back. I called in to see what could be done, and I spoke with someone who promised they’d get things going, and I still didn't hear anything from that vendor. When I called back, I was just over it and I said I wanted to cancel everything, I was not receiving a service, and I'm just paying money monthly. The young lady that I was speaking to was very diligent. She wanted to make sure that I was happy and she did not want me to cancel the service so she put me on hold to see what she could do. She came back and said that she got somebody to come out and if I don't hear back, she gave me their number. This time, they would give back my $100 deposit that I paid upfront and they would just do for me because they value me as a customer. That was above and beyond and I really appreciated that.

American Home Shield has done great for me. Every time we've called, we've never had any problems getting someone out here. It may have taken a day or two to get out here but that is understandable. This is a large area and there are a lot of people with a lot of problems. If I had to replace everything in this house, I would go bankrupt. I couldn't do it so a home warranty is important. You got to have it. But I wish they would fix the system better. When you call local companies to come out for American Home Shield, they do a half-** job because they're not getting paid quick enough. That makes the consumer have to deal with all of the backlash and attitude from the people American Home Shield sends out here.
My AC issue has not been fixed yet. From what I understand, the blades are tilted in the wrong direction. So, instead of pulling air through the vents to cool off the coils, it's pulling air in and it's not cooling it off because the fan is incorrect. Beaches Air Conditioning came out on Friday and they were going to get the part. They got the part that was needed and came on Monday afternoon. They put the part in, the AC came on, and they left. It cycled off and didn't come back on again. I called them and they came back out Tuesday. They said that they needed to get a fan and that they would get back with me.
I called and left a message today with Beaches Air Conditioning and have heard nothing from them. According to some of the stuff that I've read about Beaches, there seems to be a real attitude problem with a lot of the people. I would like to see things done the way that they say they're going to do them. If they say they're going to fix it, please fix it. Do it in a timely manner. Don't let it take two weeks to fix the problem. I'm hoping, considering it's been two weeks now, to get my air conditioning fixed today.

Then, they called me back and told me the part was in. They came out, asked me what day I wanted it in. I said as soon as possible. They either came that day or the next day and came on time.

The water did technically run but it seemed like once you filled the sink up and try to let it out, that's when it didn't want to run. I did give them a call back and let them know that it was not plugged properly, that the water was still taking a very long time to go down, and they came out. The bad part is I hate automated systems when I want to put in a work order. It seems more efficient when you talk to a human being because they know exactly what you're talking about and can type notes. So as long as I'm talking to a human, I'm okay.
I do love having a warranty because making one phone call to get something fixed is great. But I'm trying to look for something else because I'm paying AHS every month then if something happens, I have to pay a deductible. I shouldn't have to pay $100 every time something happens. Sometimes, it may be the littlest thing. Some things are big, but if I'm paying every month, then why should I have to pay more on top of that when something happens? There are a lot of companies where you just pay this monthly fee and if something breaks, you call and they come out.

The tech determined that the dryer needed a fuse. The control panel wouldn't catch the grooves, so he had to get a new one. The shipping of the part took a long time. But once it was in, he came and did a great job. I'm satisfied.

One of my mom's coworkers had a friend that was raving about her home warranty. When we started having issues with our home warranty company, my mom was told us, “Let me reach out and see if she can get the information or the company name.” We ended up going with American Home Shield and they have been much better than any other home warranty company that we had. Once we reached out and said we were having an issue, they hopped right on trying to help us and trying to get the issue resolved. I felt very confident. The contractor that came out seemed very professional and nice. That was refreshing. The only thing is when you're contacting the actual contact center for American Home Shield, some of the representatives are a little bit hard to understand. Other than that, I would definitely recommend the home warranty.

Air Design A/C & Heating was great. They called me and told me exactly what time they were going to swing by. The guy was super cool. He really knew what was going on. The problem apparently was lightning, it hit our house, and a bunch of electronics went down. I saw that I had a problem with the AC unit because it was leaking. I didn't realize that the outlet was having problems. So he pointed the problem with the outlet. We reset it. He suggested changing it if it keeps having problems. For now, it's been good. So he reset the outlet, connect it, cleaned everything and taped a few holes. He also checked the coolant and the gas. Everything was good. Submitting the claim with AHS was easy. I called and someone contacted me. I'm happy with it. I was lucky that it wasn't anything really bad with the equipment. The equipment was fine.

I have done my first claim and second claim within the past month with AHS. I was unsure for a long time exactly how to do it. But the first time, I did it via the phone, and it was fine. The rep was a tiny bit hard to understand though. Then the second time, I did it via the computer. It was really easy these past two times that I submitted a claim. I was surprised about how quickly people got back to me. The first time, I thought I might have a leak in my sewer pipe. The tech got under there and fixed some pipes that had come loose. Then the last time, I have a grinder toilet-type thing in my downstairs area and it was a ton of work and a very nasty job, but he was in and out and got it done. It was the same guy both times.

I'm not overly thrilled sometimes with American Home Shield, and I have considered going to someone else. I understand that if an appliance can be repaired, that's what they do over a replacement. My washing machine went out and the guy that they sent said he was gonna recommend it to be replaced. But American Home Shield did not replace it. They made him come back and repair it.
Recently, I had a situation where I had a leak. They sent a plumber who cut a hole to get to the pipes. He said that there was no leak in the pipes, which I was glad to hear. He said I needed to get someone to come in to do caulking around the fixtures. Then I had someone else who told me that the showerhead really needed some kind of mesh tape around it. My thought was, if American Home Shield sent a plumber to fix something for me, they should have been able to fix it. The person who told me that I needed mesh tape around the showerhead unscrewed it from the wall, put some kind of special tape around the ridges, put it back in and I did not have the problem anymore. I did go on and take the advice of having somebody come in and caulk around it in case that was an issue.
American Home Shield did send someone else back to fix the hole. The guy said, "It's gonna have to be sandpaper.” I told him, "If you put a drywall up, you should avoid sandpaper to sandpaper it.” He said, “When you get rid of paint, the painter will know to sandpaper it.” Sometimes, I don't think they send the best people out and sometimes I'm not always pleased with the service that I've gotten from some of their contractors. But they haven’t been all bad. When my refrigerator went out, American Home Shield did replace it.

Sometimes, American Home Shield's service is good, sometimes it's bad. Trying to get a hold of them for claims or any of that stuff is a little rough. We had a plumbing leak, and they kept postponing it, and it ended up creating flood damage. It cost me another $2,000 a year in homeowners insurance. It's been good on the small stuff, like the appliances. Even the AC wasn't bad. They sent a guy out when we had an AC issue recently. He had the part changed out and the AC was running again. He fixed it in 15 minutes and was on his way. He was, by far, one of the best ones.

Our water heater was leaking everywhere and we had mold from the leakage. It's sitting on the box out there in the garage. A tech came and I was with him the whole time. I showed him different things. I asked about things and there were some of the stuff he was saying was right. He said he still had to get the water heater fixed. But in the end, he couldn't do most of it. He probably doesn't know how to do anything. He was gonna send the claim to American Home Shield. He was going to get the water heater and they could put that in. But he never really followed up with us even when we tried calling.
Another thing we asked about the tech when he was here was about the mold that was underneath the sink. He couldn't figure out there was a leak on there and said it could be from something outside or nothing really. He gave us somebody else's information to meet up with us later that day. Every time I had asked the tech about something, he said he couldn't do it. Aside from this claim, we also had an AC guy out here. He told us we needed a condenser and Freon. The AC couldn't be fixed because it's older. He didn't even open up the unit to look and he was here for only five minutes. That also threw me for a loop on that one.

They thought the toilet was not sitting level. So the floor needed to be raised just around the toilet itself. The whole floor didn’t need to be replaced. Just that little section around the base of it. They haven’t done it yet. They had to check back with Home Shield. But overall, Home Shield has been good.

AHS meets my needs every time I call them. They send quality people out to help with the service of my air conditioner or other matters. That's why I've stuck with them. In the first few years that we were with them, the people they were sending out were not as knowledgeable as I thought they would be. But over the years, they have changed and the people that they've dispatched to my house usually can spot the problem, isolate it, and fix it in one visit, or they might have to order a part and come back at no charge to me. They've gone up a little bit in their service fees, but everything else is going up, too. The last time I had someone out was a couple of weeks ago for my air conditioning unit.

We had a pressure release valve that had gone bad and we didn't want water flooding in the basement. We had to turn the water off until we got the new plumbing person out there.

They came and fixed the problem on Thursday then Thursday night, the replacement sprung a leak also. I texted the plumbing person and he said I needed to do a recall. He was coming out with his family that Saturday. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been serviced until Monday. The same guy came out, brought a new valve from their supply place and fixed it up.
With a home warranty, I don't have to worry about things like that. The biggest worry when you have a home warranty, though, is whether or not they're gonna cover something.

American Home Shield is questionable. It took me about a year for my refrigerator to be replaced. What I had to do was tip off the refrigerator to see there would be a freezer burn in the back wall where it would be frosted. Then I'd have to clean the bottom of the vegetable drawers. I'd have to take out the ice and the water. It was a GE which was defrosting inside. The contractor said it was this particular panel. We did six services before we could even get American Home Shield to give us a replacement even though they were told to have it replaced. When the repair people tell American Home Shield there's a problem and they can't fix it, they should go immediately and take care of it. Also, American Home Shield has to change their customer service. The whole problem was the people that I was talking to were foreign. They don't know our language that well.

Our condenser outside started making some weird noises and I reached out to the contractor in the morning. They said they were full but they could work me in.

We have a Trane system and the guy who was working on it used to work for Trane, so he was very familiar. He said it was a common part and he would reach out and see if it was in stock and let me know.
The contractor called and said that they haven’t heard yet but they would let me know first thing in the morning what it looked like. They called me first thing in the morning and they said they had the part. They came at 11:00 but I had to run an errand and when the guy called to tell me he was on his way, I told him I wasn’t home. He said it was okay. He didn’t need to come inside and he would go around to the back if it was okay with me. He had everything fixed by the time I got here so they were amazing. If the condenser was just doing what it was doing, I might not have called right away knowing this could end up being expensive. And then, it could have been a lot worse. Because the tech said that if we kept trying to run it, we would be replacing the entire condenser as opposed to just a part.

CPR Appliance Repair came and looked at the oven. The part that they needed to fix the oven was no longer available because KitchenAid doesn't manufacture that particular microwave oven anymore. AHS replaced the microwave oven and we have a Westinghouse now. However, it was not too easy to do the claim because the persons that I talked to didn't fully understand what was going on. I told them in the beginning that I would give them the measurements of the microwave and the area that it was installed. I was told that AHS does not use measurements. They wanted me to send a picture, which I did. I asked the person that I sent the picture to, “How are you going to tell from a picture what the dimensions of this microwave is?” The person told me that they were gonna see what the installation is.
That individual or any other individual needs the measurements so they can purchase the microwave. Finally, I went to Lowe's and got the dimensions of the oven that could replace the one that was there. I provided it for AHS and they sent that particular microwave to me with the trim kit. When I talked to the person, I told them that the trim kit itself would not fit because the way the manufacturers make them now, they only make two trim kits. That's the 27- inch and a 30-inch trim kit. I was sent the 27-inch trim kit. All the other components in the trim kit worked on the microwave, except the front face. The faceplate that was sent to me did not work because it was too large for the area that it had to go to. I had the CPR technician utilize the same faceplate that was on my original microwave and it worked real good. Everything worked out fine after the CPS technician installed the microwave. However, when we received the new microwave, the support that went inside for the plate was broken in half.
AHS is a good warranty company. They stuck to their word that if they couldn't fix a unit, it would be replaced. However, it took some time to get things squared away. That's what happens when talking to an individual that’s not totally familiar with certain situations. AHS should change their policy and deal with dimensions because those are the things that need to be done when a microwave has to be installed. In any item that has to be installed, it's better to use dimensions than to just look at pictures. Pictures are fine but it only shows the installation. It doesn't give the proper information that's needed to install an item.

A friend of mine has 24 houses and he has American Home Shield on all of them. He told me to get the home warranty because I have a hot water heater, stove, refrigerator, and pool filter. I signed up with American Home Shield about three months ago. Something happened to my pool filter so I filed a claim. It was rather quickly and I got a notification that the pool company would contact me within one business day. They called me within an hour and a half.
The guy there said he could be out tomorrow to take care of the problem. I just needed to take a picture of the model pool filter, the filter itself, and the motor. I sent those to him that night. He thanked me and said he would be out in the morning at around 9 o'clock. He came out the next morning and pulled things apart. There was a piece of plastic that was jammed inside the propeller for the filter and he fixed it. He was done in 20 minutes. I thanked him and paid my $75 online for the deductible. The service was outstanding and we were good to go.
The thing that attracted me to the home warranty was it covers all appliances like the water heater, refrigerator, stove, microwave, and ceiling fans. Look outside of your normal appliances and see what big dollar items you have and get them covered as soon as you can because it is a great plan to have. Outside the house, there's the AC unit and the pool. You really need the home warranty for those more than anything because those are the most expensive things. For my pool, a motor for a filter is $1,200. I pay $60 a month to include the pool filter and it's worth its weight in gold.

A year ago, we had two toilets replaced and it was by a company called SAP. The guy came, then he left and said he went and picked up two toilets. When he came back, he installed them and showed my husband a little bit about the toilet. He said he'd have to come back because the top toilet rocked when he sat on it and that he couldn't finish the installation. But COVID happened and that was the end of it. Finally, we got back around to it and AHS sent out Island Plumbing. Their guy was great. He came in, fixed it, and everything has been good since.
American Home Shield billed me for the Island Plumbing guy but they told me they would refund the money because I paid for the initial call. They kept trying to tell me that they refunded me the money but I've gone back through and I couldn't locate it in my bank statement. So, I called again today to talk to somebody but I was having trouble understanding him, so I got a little irritated and hung up. Other than that, we really haven't had any issues and they’ve always pretty much taken care of business.
When we thought we had an AC issue, they sent out someone who came in and forced some air through it. It moved the pluggage to another area, so that it came out of the pan in the air conditioner and leaked all into the ceiling above our middle bedroom. We found the water and realized what they had done. We ended up putting in two bottles of Liquid-Plumr and took care of it ourselves.
People should be aware of what the exceptions are in their policies. We cover that with AHS, but to do so, you're going to have to pay a $600 disposal fee. Those are among the things that have changed over the years. We just renew our policy every year and we don't go through and read every line. I don't have my policy from 20 years ago to go back and check it, and it's not like they say they made all these changes and what they're for.

At first, American Home Shield thought the issue was my AC unit thing. But then the contractor came back and found out it wasn't that. The issue was the hot water heater. They paid for just the hot water heater. But it wasn't put in right, so we had to pay for the replacement. I didn't understand how we had to pay $900 out of our pocket. Also, I didn't like I had to wait till Monday for someone to come out. The contractor should have come on a Saturday but they called me on that day and said that the technician called out sick and there was no one coming. My water was running for days because of that.

American Home Shield's service is very good. My furnace was damaged and also, my water heater was broken. But American Home Shield repaired everything perfectly for me so far. When I bought this home two years ago, it was 18 years old. All my appliances were pretty old. If you have a close to 20-years-old, definitely it's recommended to buy this insurance.

If I ever have any furnace or air conditioning problems, I want Fast Response Heating & Cooling who came out here the last time to fix it. I was amazed. The lady called me and told me that she was on her way. Then she got it fixed. I was proud. It's been working great ever since. The only thing that bothers me about air conditioning, if it’s my furnace or my compressor outside that goes out, I am hoping that American Home Shield is going to pay the majority of the replacement costs. I've had it all these years and haven't given it up because of the amount of money that I have paid. But then people should consider American Home Shield since AHS has come and taken care of the things when they needed to be fixed.
Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with the work done.

There was a couple of noises in the air conditioning unit. After submitting the claim, the contractor got ahold of us and then we made the appointment. The tech came out right away. So we were very happy. He looked at the unit and said it was a very good unit for this house and that the noises were natural things that happened with that air conditioner. We’re new to the area, so we don’t know who to call and we feel very comfortable with American Home Shield with them knowing who to send out, and to take care of any problem, or to give us any advice on any of this.

We're just a couple of weeks into it American Home Shield and we already used them one time. The claim went easily and pretty quickly. What happened was we could not get the pilot light of our hot water heater lit. Rather than electrocute ourselves, we put in a request to American Home Shield to bring a plumber out. He came out within 24 hours. We only had one cold shower so it wasn't too bad. My wife dealt with the plumber and she had no complaints. Everything has been working fine. We have nice, hot showers.

I had American Home Shield for 15 years before. When I bought this new house, the company I financed through set up another company, which is the only reason I didn't have American Home Shield. As soon as that one expired, I went back to American Home Shield because I'm cool with it. One time, all of my appliances went down (my washer, dryer, dishwasher, and AC) within two weeks of each other. The person that came out for my dishwasher said, "We got to order parts." He did then he got sick. He came out a couple of days after he said, "I'm gonna try get out there on Monday." When he came, he put all the new parts on. It's the latch that holds the door shut on the dishwasher, and for some reason, it would not work, so he recommended a total replacement. I'm still waiting to hear back on that.
American Home Shield is also working with me on my AC. It's older and it was built in such a way that if something went down, the whole thing was obsolete. It's like if I buy a new car and I get a flat tire, I gotta buy a new car. The thermostat on my AC went out, and the repair company said, "Oh, it's a two-stage unit, and the wiring, there's four wires go down, you need five or six wiring." Unfortunately, it's gonna take almost to the end of this month to get to it and I've been living without any AC in a 100-degree weather for six weeks. It has nothing to do with the service though. It has to do with my machinery that the company is working on. They're doing what it takes to try to get things done and they have agreed to take care of it. Other than expediency, that's all I can hope for. I'm going to be required to put out $2,000, and I don't have that on hand at the moment anyway, so they can't do the work.

Getting the service for the washer and the refrigerator was a problem. I asked for that together and American Home Shield said it would be on the same ticket because it was the same technician. It turned out that for some reason, initially, the washer was not on the ticket with the refrigerator. So, I had to call back in. The people in the call center do not speak English very well at all. I've worked in insurance for a long time, so we spoke to people in call centers in different places. I’m not unfamiliar with working with people in different places but this girl was terrible. She could not get it out of her head that I had a Whirlpool refrigerator. I was on hold for five minutes while apparently, she called Whirlpool. I said that she needed to stop talking about a Whirlpool refrigerator because it’s a GE refrigerator and I need to have this on the same ticket as my washer.
The girl said that the only thing she could do was cancel the ticket for the refrigerator and then reschedule it with someone else for both of the tickets. So, the person who originally was assigned for the service lost out because she couldn't do anything to get the tickets together. But the guy came out with both of the appliances. Everything was fine except I got a text message from the original place that it was scheduled that I shouldn't forget that I have an appointment with them tomorrow. So, she didn't cancel that appointment. It was very difficult working with her but scheduling it myself online seemed like an easy process. I don't know what happened that the two appliances got dropped but trying to get that fixed was a pain in the butt.
I had to have somebody out here to look at my air conditioner on Monday and they were very nice. They were prompt and they got the problem fixed right away. I was very happy with that. The guy who came out to look at both of my appliances yesterday was very nice too. I was sad that he couldn't fix my washer because I liked that washer but that's the way it is.

I’ve had claims with American Home Shield on my AC unit, my oven and my washer and dryer. It’s a little bit of everything and the claims process is usually the same. It’s smooth and within 24 hours, they have somebody calling, communicating and trying to make an appointment with me on when the company is going to come over and fix whatever is broken in the house. The contractors were good although there were a couple of guys who couldn’t get the job done that day. But some of them even went out of their way and worked over the time that they were supposed to to get the appliance fixed for us. So, I absolutely have no complaints there.
American Home Shield is fairly inexpensive. For the work that we’ve had done, I would probably have paid double or triple what I paid so far from working through them. The customer service has always been good. They've always been nice and accommodating to whatever I needed. There were a couple of times when I called them and I didn't know if they covered that area, and they were patient with me. So, I have no problems. I'm a very satisfied customer.

Out of all the home warranties, American Home Shield is the best one I've ever used. They don't hassle me if I call them about three or four times. They listen and they don't say, "Well, I'm not sure if that's covered." When something happens, I need to call them, I don't want an issue, just come out and fix it and go away. It's awesome that they send someone out because I'll use them forever now and I'll have fewer issues. If I have issues like the tub's blinking, the toilet, the water is running, they'd let me combine them all into the $175, which is really nice. With my recent claim, the dryer was really hot. Whirlpool came and checked to make sure that the filter or the vent thing was all cleaned out. I have referred American Home Shield to so many people so far saying, "Don't even use anyone else." I'm so impressed with them.

I've had this U-Line icemaker that hasn't worked since January. The guy from All Out Appliance, Justin, was nice but he didn’t know much about it at all. He called a friend of his who works on them and talked to him. Justin tried everything and worked hard on it. This last call, he said he switched out the water valve but maybe I misunderstood that. When a different company came out to fix my icemaker in the refrigerator and the freezer, the guy took a look at it for and he said the water valve hasn't been changed out. He showed me all the dust on it and he cleaned off the coils around it and said that that needed to be replaced. It looks like this company is fine and gonna be able to fix it. But I’m into All Out Appliance or into American Home Shield for over $400 now for the repair. Which if it was a bad water valve from the get-go, should have been fixed for $100 the first call.
I called American Home Shield and I said that I should not have to pay $100 for each call when the guy comes out and it hasn't been fixed. They said that it’s because it's a different part or it's a different diagnosis. I said that it's not a different diagnosis because I told them from the beginning that it wasn't working. I'm ready to have it fixed and be done with the whole thing because it's seven months going into August. It's a little excessive.
I noticed that AHS covers freestanding icemakers and other home warranty companies don't. So, I'm happy with that. But from what I've experienced talking with people that don't use a home warranty system and call contractors out to work on their appliances and pay whatever price they have to pay, that the people they call are, in some cases, more competent and more reliable companies than going through a home warranty company. I've got a bad taste now for home warranty companies in general but that also has to do with our house being only five years old. I was a little disappointed to see that the icemaker stopped working after only five years.

It was easy to get through and schedule the request. The agent came and he rekeyed four locks. He was very professional. We just bought the house and we don't know who else has keys. The previous owner had given us one key originally. And I reached out to the previous owner, and I was able to get an additional four keys from her for the door. So I don't know, they’re 6, 10. But to know that my family's safe and that nobody can enter the house whenever they choose, rekeying was important to us.
I later found out, just going to Ace Hardware, that they actually sell a $15 kit that you can do it yourself. Need to pay $100 versus doing a $15 deal, and you could rekey up to six different key holes or locks. I would have done that, as opposed to paying the $100 deductible to get the rekey done. Obviously, it was done by a professional, but in this YouTube age, anything is possible. And I'm not dealing with the last people. It's just simple, follow the instructions and you'll be able to do it. So if I think about it that way, obviously, there's no benefit. We initially thought that it was covered as part of the American Home Shield program, and there wasn't any additional cost. And that, we were a little discouraged. A simple thing like that should have been covered. But my wife was happy that it was available. So, we went with it, and we're satisfied with the work.

AHS picked an incompetent air conditioning expert, called Quick AC out of Orlando. They came out and determined that the compressor was bad. They made me wait in 100-degree weather for almost a week and a half. They came out and replaced it, but they let some wires hang on the copper tubing, the hot end of the copper tubing, that goes to the compressor unshielded, which, within a few days, burning a hole into the copper tubing and let all the Freon out. I had to pay $400 for the Freon, to begin with. I didn't want them to come out again because they did such shoddy work.
AHS picked another contractor who came out and welded the hole and moved the wire somewhat away from where it was arcing. Then I had to pay for that Freon, even though AHS picked the incompetent worker who blew it the first place. Then now we're working with a compressor that was running on with no Freon for a while. Then about four days later, in my office, I heard a loud noise, and I went outside. The compressor stopped working. I had to call AHS again. I paid another $100. It’s like $300 now.
World Class came out and determined that the compressor was now totally bad. But it was still under warranty with AHS. So, then I waited another week and a half in the hot 90-degree weather with asthma and being 70 years old. They came out and brought the other compressor to replace the one that got broken and fixed it and moved the wires away from it, did a good job insulating it. This World Class did a world-class job.
They said that, also, the coils needed to be cleaned and some other stuff they noticed. However, when it's 95 degrees outside, it still gets up to 88 degrees inside. So, it doesn't cool down until the nighttime. I had to pay again for Freon. I paid, so far, $1,200 of Freon because of shoddy work done by Quick AC. I had to pay $100 for each time everybody came back. It cost me almost $1,500 and it should only cost me $100 the first time. So, I'm in the process of thinking of suing because that's the only way I'm gonna get my money back for the Freon. I didn’t pick the contractor. AHS did.
I also had several calls to come out to fix my dryer. They came out and replaced fuses. I kept telling them the fuses keep popping. Then miraculously, the dryer works for four loads. Then, boom, no more heat. Then they’d come out again, replaced the fuses. Then five loads, boom. No heat. Right now, I have a dryer with no heat. Each time they came out, I had spent 100 bucks on it. I have an air conditioner that doesn't work if the temperature gets above 90 outside, ‘cause inside it comes 88. Supposed to be a 10 to 15-degree difference and it’s only a 2-degree difference. I'm thankful for the Lord when it's cloudy out or when we get a thunderstorm because then it cools the attic off. I don't know why it's doing that. Nobody can figure it out. None of the contractors could figure out why it gets hot.
AHS is good at claim support and getting somebody out here. But they're very bad at picking people that know what they're doing. Three in every four people they pick don't know what they're doing. Each one tried to sell me a new air conditioning system. So, their hearts are not in repairing. Their hearts are in trying to sell me something new.
Are you still in need of assistance?

I went from California to Connecticut. Apparently, in Connecticut, a home warranty is not a traditional thing. That's part of the sale that the seller provides. I specifically asked for a warranty because I know how valuable they are. My main concerns were the major systems in my house. American Home Shield does cover HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. But it is twice the price as my other one, and they covered everything. On the other hand, AHS doesn't cover my appliances and it's a lot less coverage for what I pay for. The total cost was $150 more, but it's for less coverage. And the cost to have somebody come out is double.
Since I bought the house, the supply line from the valve to the toilet, wasn't tightened. It’s a compression fitting. The plumber came out, and he had to turn it four times. And I had a leak from my second floor through my main floor, all the way to my basement, and went through my kitchen. So, I called AHS. They're involved now. And water abatement came out and began the process. This is going to be huge because it has been leaking for almost a year now. And I never knew it because there was no water on the floor. It was just following the pipe, right down through the hole.
So I'm expecting to get a new kitchen. My cabinets and my wood floors underneath are probably all damaged. And I'm assuming that it's all gonna have to get replaced. The plumber that came out to my house said to keep AHS, and that they're worth their weight in gold and they're awesome. He said there's a waitlist to get with them. I found that hard to believe. So, he seems to think that they're great but he also has a contract with them. But I liked him a lot. AHS though is overpriced. I just think that their pricing is not as competitive it could be.

The AC unit wasn't coming on and when the tech came over here, he saw that it was a capacitor that was bad. He changed the capacitor, and it started working again. Then he came in and checked the temperature and stuff in the house. He was very courteous, professional and a good person. A few years ago, I had a problem with the water heating and the people that came over said they thought it was a slab leak. Another specialist supposedly had come out here with a sonar but didn't really check anything out. They just said, "You have a slab leak. And the best thing to do is if you route your plumbing so it goes upstairs and comes down." What it would cost me was way too expensive, so I didn't do that.
It's good to have the coverage because if I would have called someone by myself, it would have cost a lot more than my $125 copay I had to pay for them to come out here. If it's something that's gonna cost about as much as your copay, just buy and do it yourself. Don’t call Home Shield to try to get something new. If you've got something that needs to be fixed, it comes in handy. When somebody asks me, I tell them they need to get Home Shield. They got a good play going on, and I don't mind spending the money if nothing does happen. At least I got peace of mind that I'm covered.

They were phenomenal and now, we're up and running. I've had an AC claim last summer and this summer and I've also had my refrigerator repaired thru AHS when we first moved in. Everyone's been super good to deal with. The cost savings of having AHS is huge.

I called American Home Shield because there was a leak. The techs that came out were very nice and professional. However, the last couple of claims haven't been very good. They've sent out people that were unqualified. They sent out a garage door company to check my garage door opener. The guy gave me all these big old estimates about what needed to be done. Said that the springs had to be repaired, the springs need to be replaced and I knew he was lying. Then, the last time they sent out an electrical company, the guy did nothing. He said, "Oh, you had a surge." And he left. He didn't write up anything on the paperwork. With these two claims, I had to call back and I was told, "If this other company comes up with the same assessment as the first one, you're going to get charged another fee." So, not good.
The people I communicate with when I call in and often the people that they send out have English as a Second Language, so it's often hard to communicate. I assume they have call centers in the Philippines. So they're always very polite, but they're also very hard to understand. When they sent out the electrician, he spoke almost no English. He spoke Armenian. We couldn't communicate with him. He didn't have a clue what we were saying and we didn't have a clue what he was saying.

I submitted a claim for my washer that wasn't spinning on a Friday or Saturday and a repairman was at my house by Tuesday. I was a little cold off because I did read some bad reviews about the company itself online and there was a little bit of lack in communication. He told me he was coming one day and I got off work early to go home but he never showed up. He finally replied the next morning saying he had a family issue. But he was wonderful. He came that very next day after that, and he was in and out in no time.
Since I've had American Home Shield, I've had my refrigerator and my garbage disposal go wrong. It's worth it to be able to go to one place I can schedule service calls or whatever may be wrong, and American Home Shield already has these relationships with these vendors that do all these repairs so I love it. I don't have to go searching for repair places for all the appliances.

The tech that was assigned to repair something on our recent claim was a very knowledgeable young man. We felt comfortable being around him. He was very professional and he knows what he's doing. We’ve used American Home Shield for 24 years and I feel good about their service. It's nice to know that they will send someone out and repair what needs to be repaired. The service fee is a set fee. Even though we spend quite a bit each month, considering what they’ve had to do over the years, it has been cost-effective or either broken even. But it’s comforting to know that they're there if we need them.
Sometimes, they would send somebody that we didn't feel comfortable about. After looking up about them, they didn't always have the best technicians that they sent out. But Jones Electronics is tops. They have been here several times over the year, and they’re probably our favorite of the companies that AHS uses. They fixed our Sub-Zero refrigerator, and did not have to get a new one. We bought the house 24 years ago, and it was already in the house when we bought it. The tech had to put in a new compressor. Jones Electric seemed to know their business. We like it when AHS sends them. When they were gonna send somebody else, I called and requested Jones Electric because I felt like they would do a better job.

American Home Shield is good when I call for some repairs. Anytime I've ever had any plumbing problems, they've always used After Hours Plumbing. With my recent plumbing claim, the repairman seemed like he knew what he was doing. He said that he thought it was coming from the overflow valve from the bathtub where water was running down into my bathroom downstairs. He said that they would send somebody to repair that hole in the ceiling that had to be cut open. I'm waiting on a call or something to be done with that. Also, I had some electrical stuff done and we still can't use the microwave that came with the house. Whenever we do, it shuts off power in certain areas in the house. We have a microwave sitting there that we can't use which I wish I could because it would give me a little bit more counter space in my kitchen.

The initial issue was my refrigerator and freezer stopped working. I went in online, and I put in the issues with my refrigerator and icemaker. The first vendor that I called told me it would be September before they could come out to my house and check my refrigerator. I immediately called American Home Shield back and they gave me Peerless. AHS sent me an email. I received the call from Peerless and the lady that I spoke to was very polite and professional. She asked me what were the issues I was having and I told her. Peerless told me they would send somebody out in the next two weeks. She sent the technician out. The technician looked at the refrigerator. That was the first time. He did a diagnosis and ordered parts.
A week later, they came back out, made an attempt to put the parts on them but found out that if he would have looked further, he would have seen that the compressor was bad. I shouldn't be the one to say, “You need to check for our compressor.” He should’ve checked the compressors first. So, I've been without a refrigerator for almost a month. I'm thinking of coming out of pocket and buying one. He told me that the refrigerator is unrepairable. He said that it would cost more to repair the refrigerator than what the refrigerator is actually worth. But if anything happens to anything in my house, as long as I have AHS, Peerless will be the company that I recommend to anybody. They did a great job.

I told him if I called American Home Shield, it was gonna take a while putting the order in. He recommend somebody else and I asked how much it would be for them to come out and fix the problem. They came out and fixed the problem but that wasn't the problem.
I called Kevin back, and he said it was already too late for him to turn around and come back out there. He’s a very nice guy but I feel like if you got somebody working for you, you should have some kind of courtesy, and you need to come back that same day if the problem wasn’t fixed especially if you recommended somebody that you knew. I called somebody else to come and look at it. He thought that it was the motor too. I didn't have them to work on it but in some kind of way, we got air then it went right back off again. Kevin came out on Monday, worked hard and fixed it. He just upset me that day when he couldn’t turn around and come back.
I called American Home Shield to see what they could do. Miss smarty pants on the telephone was who I got upset with. She couldn’t help me. She said, "You still have another case open. If we send somebody out there, that would be another charge.” I told her we’ve been in this heat for so many days and she told me there was nothing she could do about it.

I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth with American Home Shield. Every time I have something wrong with me, I'm coming out thousands of dollars' worth of repair and the issues are not covered. So I'm paying for services that are being rendered. For example, I had a contractor that came out early June for the AC and they said they needed a part. I'm still waiting for that part and it's gonna be $1,000. So, this is our frustration. I'm paying for the service, but every time something goes down, I got to pay $100 out of pocket before the contractor can even come. Then the minimum information is provided when they do come out.
The technician told me that he could put antifreeze in the AC until the part comes in, which was fine. I appreciate that. The he said, "But by the way, that's something that is gonna cost you $1,000 to get that." Who has $1,000 during a pandemic? The thing is is that I've got to put out thousands of dollars and American Home Shield pays for nothing. Then I get minimum service. I pay every month hundreds of dollars for the service that I'm putting in this every month. But when something goes down, American Home Shield pays for nothing. So I'm really frustrated with this.

The first time I called American Home Shield, I was having an issue with my air conditioning unit. I told them I thought there was an issue with the air and with the thermostat. Two guys came out. I guess they were junior technicians. They didn't do too much and didn't change out filters. I didn't even realize they changed out the thermostat. They didn't really tell me anything. One of them was like, “Oh, if it’s not working within a couple of weeks, then just call us back.” About a week and a half ago, it stopped working. It wouldn't get cool at all. On a Thursday, I called AHS and put another claim in. A guy came that Monday. He was very knowledgeable. He figured out it was just a small issue that he had to exchange out. It took him all of 10 minutes.
Sometimes, when I call AHS, some of the reps are not as knowledgeable. I've called before, and one young lady was telling me that my contract was totally different. I understand that sometimes when we're working on something, we may not be as knowledgeable. My thing is for someone not to give me misinformed information. Sometimes, you might have to put somebody on hold. I would rather you put me on hold and tell me, “Hey, let me check with somebody.” As a matter of fact, my card had changed. My payments come out automatically. I told the guy that I had spoke to right before that, “I don't want there to be an issue with my payment.”
Sure enough, my information wasn't updated. I probably wouldn't even be able to do the call in and do the claim again because it said that I had missed a payment. So I told the young lady, “If you don't understand, just let me know and that's fine. You can put me on hold. But I don't want to think that my payment is gonna go through for this month and it didn't go through.” I was a little annoyed by that. If you're not knowledgeable about something, it's okay. Just get somebody that can answer the question. We all don't know every answer to every question. If you have the resources to utilize or ask somebody for help, I would rather you do that than give me an incorrect answer.
I've been with AHS since 2017 when I moved here to Virginia, and my contract has changed about five times. I asked for something if it's covered, they told me it was covered. Then when I called in for a claim, it wasn't covered. I had to pay a difference in the contract. Then I had to wait into the contract to be renewed. So, I would make sure everything that weren't covered under the contract is documented. I had to threaten to leave them several times because that's been annoying. AHS should make sure that their reps are very knowledgeable, and that they're telling you absolutely what is covered under your contract. There are just certain things for American Home Shield to work on, but I’ll still recommend them.

There was an issue with my AC. A & R came out and fixed the motor. It was leaking from the overflow from the condensation. The way the original guy that came out explained to me was that he wasn't sure what the issue was, so he didn't do anything but he thought it was a plumbing issue. It was still leaking, so I called out a plumber. When the plumber came out, he said, "No, no, no. That's AC." So, I got back in touch with American Home Shield. They sent out Air Pro Masters for the plumbing and A & R for the AC. They sent that same guy back out. He went up and realize what it was. He said that he had not seen it like that. He'd known about the condensations, but in most of the homes that he had dealt with, the condensation would do a runoff off the roof and not inside the garage. So once he realized what it was, he fixed it. He blew out the line, and then replaced some line. Before he left, the leak had stopped.
I spoke to a representative from AHS and said, "I'm paying two $75 fees here, when originally, the first guy should have fixed the problem." She got off the line. She went and talk to somebody. She said that I was gonna get my $75 back because I shouldn't have to pay for the second service fee. I had an issue once a long time ago with a dishwasher, and I kept getting all these service fees but because whoever was coming out didn't fix the problem right. They finally got it fixed and I got a new dishwasher. The one that they were offering me was a little bit lower grade than what I wanted. My issue has always been that they will send somebody out and send me a list of products that I can choose from. I don't expect them to offer the highest grade products, but the secondary product that they sent me for my washing machine was an upgrade from what I had in there. So, I was fine with it.
When I call AHS, I don't get a lot of runaround. The only time I had an issue was when my hot water heater went out and it was cheaper for me to get my son to go get a hot water heater and put it in for me. But other than that, I don't really have any issues with the company. I've had them for 13 years, and most of the time when I called them, they've sent somebody out. The people would come right out and fix the problem. Would I recommend American Home Shield? I would.

I've had problems with AHS in the past, but the last couple of experiences have been fine. I also used AHS, previously, in another house for quite a few years. I submitted a claim recently because the base of the garbage disposal was leaking a ton of water into the cabinetry, and all the bottles and dish soap were all flooded below that. Before the technician came out, I was notified of his name, who to expect, and the day and time that he would be here. He was nice, professional, wore a mask, seemed to know exactly what needed to be done. The repairs were completed and it's working well.

Our tenant called and told us that the AC system wasn't cooling the house. We contacted our property manager to send someone out there because it was an emergency. They told us that it was leaking and it'd need replacement. So, I submitted the claim through American Home Shield and May Heating went out there. They diagnosed it with the same issue and that there's water or some kind of oil which needed to be replaced. They were very professional and able to get my tenants in before the date that they said they would.
With AHS, filing the claim was a simple process because all I had to do was go in their website and put in what was going on. And I was able to get someone right away. Even though the appointment wasn't next day, they assigned a company right away. But we had to come out of pocket for it. If they don't cover a certain thing, they should have said that upfront, as far as the AC units goes. And I didn't know that there was an approval process. Once May uploaded the report, it had to go to somewhere else for revision and approval. But other than that, this is their third time going out and they fixed the issues.
Thank you for sharing your recent experiences with us. We are happy that we were able to get the issue resolved for you and we look forward to our continued business together.

Our whole house was stopped up and nothing would drain. Third Generation Plumbing came out and they snaked it. But we couldn't use our toilets or showers for almost two days because American Home Shield couldn't get somebody out here right away. They should open up their places they use to do their claims.

I had a leaky regulator on the water main coming into the house. The tech came out here very quickly, assessed the issue, gave me an update of what was going on and what the plan was to address it. It was all resolved in the same day. I'm happy with American Home Shield's service.

The website of AHS is user-friendly. I submitted a claim because the igniter was out on the oven. There were two different guys that came out and they were both great. One guy came out and did the analysis. Then one guy came and fixed when the part came in. It works now. AHS is a good service to have if you have an old home.
Thanks for letting us know how everything is going so far. Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with your experience up to this point.
We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Take Care.

Our microwave had a whole bunch of rust and a burn spot. Sometimes it sparks when we turn it on. AHS called Appliance Guy to look at it. The first lady I spoke with was just giving us the runaround. And then, I had to make an appointment with The Appliance Guy. The tech was pretty good. He checked the microwave out and then looked at the oven which we haven't called for. He said the previous owners had put foil underneath it and that stuck to the oven. He also said they were going to look for a replacement for the microwave. However, they couldn't find one that fits into the wall where we have it. Also, I thought American Home Shield would replace my microwave for me and do all the labor of putting in and all those other measurements. I am by myself and I have nobody to help me do that. So, I have to pay somebody else to do that for me.
Are you still in need of assistance?

The air conditioner was clogged and the whole system was leaking at one side. The techs were able to solve the problem the same day. Some of the other contractors that you look up sometimes have a little bit lower rating. But the last two have been good so I don't have any complaints at all.

My washing machine was leaking. The contractor came out the next day. He was amazing. He ordered me a part. And within four days, he already called me back and said that it was ready. He installed it that day, and it worked out perfect. I wish I could have the same company for every single thing that we do. The first guy, there was something wrong with my sink. He ordered me a part for my sink. And then, when I called them back to let them know that the part came, they never came back. So, I ended up installing it. And then, my dishwasher, it took forever for them. I had to email them back twice to say, “Hey, the part’s never come.” So, about six weeks later, my dishwasher, I finally got to use again. I'm not too happy. I don't feel I should pay $100 for a claim when I'm installing the part myself. I’m sure that company got paid for their job, but they didn't do anything. I'm not 100% satisfied with it.
Also, when you call to get help, a lot of times the reps are not speaking English very clear and it's very hard to understand. And it would be nice just to be able to explain something and both of us understand what's going on. There's a gap between what I would call it and what they would call it. Because they live in a different country. So, it's not like the person is not helpful. It’s not all the same. Like when I was trying to explain my sink, they were not understanding what I was trying to explain to them about the handle that comes out. And it was rough.

The garage door opener wasn't working correctly. The door wouldn't close. But then the few times that it would, it would just pop back open. So, I was afraid it would happen when I'm away from home. That was by the end of the day to set up something. And the contractor said, “We’re going to try to squeeze you in the next day," which was Friday, "instead of making it wait over the weekend.” And they were able to do that. The tech troubleshooted everything and he had to adjust the sensors and something else. He was professional and polite, didn't leave a mess and everything was wonderful. Whatever it was, he fixed it. Because the service request went through American Home Shield, it got quicker attention from the company that provided the service. Because sometimes you call someplace and they would say, “Well, we can't get to you until next week.” And they were just all over it.

We had scheduled appointments to get our refrigerator and our stove repaired. We also had some drainage problems with our bathtub and the stopper to be put back on one of the bathtubs. Those were two separate calls. We were on the phone with someone for about 30 to 45 minutes and someone did come in to do the tub. When the plumber came to the house, we asked him if he would wear a mask. He said “I'll wear one if you wear one.” He had to replace the stopper in the bathtub bedroom. He kinda tried to talk us out of it by saying that there was a risk of him doing something, and it was meaning that we would have to tear out the whole wall and this and that. We told him to take a chance. Other than those, he provided the service. But we still haven't heard anything from the people that were supposed to fix the fridge and the stove and we have them and left a message. Also, we already paid our deposit for the services.

It has been a little difficult to get through to AHS's website when I'm trying to find out what's covered or not but it's been okay. My garbage disposal was clogged and was not functioning correctly. The contractor was awesome. They were responsive and they communicated well. They told me when they were going to be here and sent me a list of what was going on. I recommend AHS. They cover all my basic needs for all of my basic appliances that break down.

The AC unit was blowing warm air on Friday night. The thermostat in my bedroom was up to 82 degrees, even though the air conditioner was set at 76. So I put in an order online, and the first technician that AHS assigned to us was a company called Comfort Pro. I then called Comfort Pro to see if someone could come on Saturday, and the tape recording said they won't open till Monday.
We have had AHS for over 20 years and I understand that a lot of their technicians don't have the greatest reviews, but also, only unhappy people tend to leave reviews as opposed to happy people. I looked at Comfort Pro's reviews and I have never seen such negative reviews for a company, especially in the last two months.
The last review that I saw was posted literally the day before. It was horrible. So I called AHS and spoke to a lovely customer service person, her name was Deborah, and I told her that I will not let this technician into the house. She said she understands, and since my payment hadn't been put through, it was easy for her to negate that. She put in for a new work order, and then Central Jersey Heating and Cooling came up. The technician was absolutely fabulous. He showed up Saturday and explained he works on Saturdays, and he knew what the problem was almost instantly. He replaced the part. He was terrific. I highly recommend him.
Submitting the claim is a simple thing to get through if you do it online. But when I called AHS, I had to wait for 45 minutes before I spoke to someone. It's a lengthy process. I've had AHS for over 20 years. Some of our experience has been really good but some hasn't been great. But on the whole, AHS is something that we have to keep because it makes it easier for us to get work people.
Since we initially took out the policy 20 years ago, a lot has changed and AHS restructured the policies in the last few years so that there are limits on things. We changed our policy to a platinum policy on our renewal day. I have a Thermador Built-in Refrigerator and under the policy that we had before, the maximum amount that AHS would give us towards a new refrigerator was $4,000. A refrigerator like mine now costs between 11,000 and 12,000. Under the new policy, AHS will give us $6,000. Interestingly enough, I pay $2 less a month for the new policy, and I'm getting better coverage.
We replaced our hot water heater a few months ago before the new policy, and we were absolutely lied to. Before we replaced the hot water heater, we spoke to someone and we had everything annotated. We were told that if we got our own contractor to put in a new hot water heater since the person that AHS sent couldn't get the model that we wanted, then AHS will reimburse us between 1000 and 1100. But at the end of the day, they gave us $525, and there was absolutely no one that we could speak to that would budge even though we were told it would be 1000 to 1100. It was not a great experience.

American Home Shield sent the air conditioner people out today but the AC has been fixed a week ago. I have to do the claim for the refrigerator again and sit on the phone for 30 minutes. We put the claim in two weeks ago and the guy who came out was with some company, and he didn't know squat. So, the AC was still having a problem that blew a circuit breaker. We called again and got Quality Air out here who serviced us before and they fixed it. The refrigerator guy was supposed to come out today between 8:00 and 12:00 and nobody's coming to fix the refrigerator.
By having AHS, I can make a phone call and they usually fix it. But the last two months, it seems like they are a whole different company. I don't know what's going on. It also takes forever to get in to get to talk to somebody and then, they don't take the information right. It sounds like there are all kinds of noises behind them where I can't hear them. I'm 100% disabled vet and I have hearing issues also. So, it seems to be an effort to deal with them. Especially when I've been waiting for a month and a half to have somebody come out and fix my refrigerator.
