    Our AC was making a terrible noise and not functioning properly. I called it up and had a good response. We received a call from Valley Air talking about the scheduling and they told us a tech would be coming out. Their tech analyzed the problem. Valley Air ordered parts and put them in earlier than we anticipated. This was the first time we used American Home Shield's service and everything went smoothly. We pay money and we've had good results.

    Submitting my claim to American Home Shield was very easy. I just called and told them what the problem was. Then the contractor reached out to us, and they took it from there. The people that came out to the house were professional, and they were able to fix the problem. I recommend AHS to everybody because of their prompt service and professionalism.

    We had a broken washer and EJ Appliances needed to order the parts. At first, they said the part will come in five to seven days, and then it took a lot longer. So the better option for us was buying a new washer. EJ Appliances was fantastic. I was really satisfied with them. They called us before we heard back from American Home Shield every time. They called us to let us know the status and asking if American Home Shield contacted us about that one. But American Home Shield did not contact us back until about two days after EJ Appliances let us know the status. We ended up buying a new washer so we just need to get the instruction and submit the receipt to get the money back.

    I had another claim with American Home Shield and the contractor that came out was really, really good. They fixed the problem and explained great detail with us. So we were happy with that. But overall, I have problems with American Home Shield. I keep calling and checking people giving me information. They don't give me the right information. I keep having to wait and call back. American Home Shield is not responding really quick and then I have to explain over and over.

    My clothes weren't ringing out. A tech was sent out and I saw that when he turned it on, it was out of balance. On the machine, he showed me how you have to lift it up and off the floor in the back. He got it back in balance. He also fixed my soap dispenser. He was really good and professional. I would recommend Fixon Appliance. I would ask for him again. I submitted my claim to American Home Shield by telephone, and that was easy. I was given who was coming out and their phone number. I was also told that if they didn't call me, I had to call them back.

    The only complaint I have about AHS is that when they raise my monthly fee, they don't tell me. So, I go about deducting the same amount, and then all of a sudden, my checkbook's messed up. It happened once before and when I did call, I had the automated thing and it was telling me, "Well, this contract is null and void." I was like, "Wait a minute, I just made a payment." So, I pressed the buttons to get a live person and she said it expires next month. I said, "So was somebody going to raise it again? Is anybody going to tell me what's going to happen?" She said I'd have to call sales. That didn't make me happy. I think they should be contacting me and telling me, "Hey, we need to raise the rates or whatever." Other than that, it's great to have something covered because I've had my air conditioner, dryer and a faucet fixed.

    I had a little bit of a problem with my recent claim with AHS. I didn't know this until I talked to someone before they came out. He said that the whole garage door opener needs replacement because of child safety issues. He said it's not even legal the way it is. It’s not to code. The tech said, “They only told me if I could fix it." I said, “I had somebody else that had come to visit, and he said that that's not to code." I questioned him about it. The tech said, “Let me see if I can get it through.” But I never heard anything else. I'm dissatisfied that they would not bring it up to code, because I remember specifically discussing code items with them when I was looking into purchasing it. But the service gentleman was thorough, courteous and extremely nice. AHS, I don't know.

I went on Better Business Bureau and I read some feedback from Austin Heating and Air. I was really concerned because I had seen negative feedback regarding the company. But I was so pleasantly amazed and surprised with the technician. The window of time was 4:00 to 8:00 and the technician was here at 4:47. Our technician's name was Steve and he was awesome.

    I didn't have hot water so I called American Home Shield and then they got somebody out there the day after that. The guy replaced the whole mechanism that’s associated with the pilot and lit it. He told me I’d have hot water in 30 minutes or so. I had hot water for a short while. But then, I called back to tell the contractor that I no longer had hot water. He came out again and lit the pilot. He told me everything was fine. But I had hot water for a short time again and I called back the contractor. They sent out a different guy. He looked at everything and said it looked fine. He said it would probably need to be flushed out, which was the first time anybody has mentioned anything about that. He lit the pilot and also upped the temperature because the other guy had the temperature on the lowest setting. After that, I have hot water and then I called somebody else out there and got it flushed out. I have hot water now.

    The first guy that came out twice said that American Home Shield would not replace the water heater unless I had a leak. He advised me to get a leak detector, and then the second guy told me where to place it. So I went to Lowe's and bought a leak detector. The second guy also showed me how to turn the water off if this alarm goes off very quickly. He seemed to have more knowledge of what our water heater really does and doesn't do, and what you’re supposed to do and don't do. He seemed to have expertise and helped me out more. Throughout the process, contacting the contractor on the phone was not that easy. The first guy told me to call them directly and I was trying to do that but they wouldn’t answer. I couldn’t get ahold of him. It was a mess. Also, I had to pay for the flushing and the leak detector.

    My toilet wouldn't stop running and I couldn't figure out how to do it. And then I turned on and off the water, and then the water wouldn't shut off from the house. So there were two things wrong with it. I was able to get it to stop, but when you flush the toilet and it would fill back up, it wouldn't stop. You would have to mess with the ball mechanism that slides up and down to float to make it stop. And then when I shut off the water to the house, it wouldn't shut all the way off. Finally, I just got it to stop by messing with the flow. I submitted the claim online, and American Home Shield assigned a contractor who then contacted me, came out and fixed my problem. AHS previously sent out some shady people. That was by far the best company that I've dealt with so far.

    Getting someone out was really easy. All I did was make one phone call and everything was set up in place. AHS gave me a phone number for a company and they contacted them and sent them out. I had two orders. One was the dishwasher and they repaired that. But the microwave has not been repaired yet. They want me to go online and shop for one and I'm not comfortable ordering a microwave and having it be incorrect. I could leave it up to them and they give me a cheap microwave or I could order the microwave. If I order it, then they're gonna send someone out to install it. I'm going to work on ordering the microwave but the only problem is I got some rubble-like thing up around the top of my microwave and the ones that I looked at on their website didn't have that.

    All the lights on one side of the home and the outlets on the other side were not working. So, the tech did get them all working. However, the washroom lights and the bedroom lights are still doing the same thing. It takes five minutes, once you turn the light switch up, for them to come on. He said he's going to look into it, and that was the last thing he told me. He didn't say that he was coming back or what the next plan was. Other than that, once something is not working or broken, I like the speediness of getting it repaired or fixed through American Home Shield.

    My microwave wouldn't turn on and my washing machine would wash, but when it got to the spin cycle, it would just shut off. The repair company came out and repaired both units. For the washing machine, they got the code and said it was the suspensions. Now, the microwave works, but I had to leave and I haven't had a chance to run the washing machine through an entire cycle. Apart from that, the repairman was excellent. He explained what he was doing, what was going on, and he was very professional.

    What I look for is consistency and timeliness, when someone makes a report and puts it in. With my old home warranty, the first repairman came out, looked at my dishwasher and said, "Oh, well," and then he ordered a part. Someone different came out to replace the board and said that the first repairman ordered the wrong part. A third person came out and said, "Oh, we don't think it can be repaired. We're going to meet you halfway." I paid almost $1,000 for my dishwasher, and that person said that. It was supposed to have been repair or replace. Come to find out, the man across the street from me who's not a repair person came over and fixed my dishwasher.

    I got rid of my old home warranty, and I am satisfied with American Home Shield. I didn't have any trouble getting in touch with them or getting the request assigned. One of the positive things based on my experience was the camera that they had me hook into, where they could get all the information off the device before they came. They ordered in the parts and it was so much easier because they didn't have to come out, look at it and get the model number. They already had that.

Because the first time I tried to get service, I would log on to file my claim but I couldn't enter in a new service. So both times, I've had to call. The first time, the contractor had to call in and make sure that American Home Shield would cover it. And they did. So they came back a week later. Because it was a Friday that they came out, so they had to wait until the following Monday or Tuesday. And that was fine. And then the next one, they came out and it wasn't that bad, so they fixed it right away. I like that I got everything covered. And it was taken care of within a few days.

    The air conditioner stopped working, which was the second time in 20 days. When I called to set up an AC appointment, I was told by the AC people, who I'm not pleased with at all, that I was going to have to have an electrician come out there as well as them. Diamond Electric then came out. I was completely happy with them. They did everything the right way, fast, efficient, no problems whatsoever with them.

    American Home Shield is okay. But they set me up with a company to come out but that company could not come out for eight days. So, for eight days, we had no air conditioning in the hottest part of the summer so, I was very upset about that. When I called American Home Shield to complain about it, they said that they would try to contact another vendor, and they would let me know. But they never let me know. I called back a second time complaining because I still had no AC. I was told that not only were they going to be an extra day longer, but they also pushed the time back three times within the same day. I'm not happy with the air conditioning people that they chose.

    Then, when the guy came out, he said, "That's a bad breaker." It really wasn't a bad breaker at all. It turned out, it was this wire that was underneath the house that the electrician found. I was so frustrated. What it was is a critter had gotten under the house, had chewed the insulation off of the wire, and the condensation from the air conditioner was dripping on that wire, shorting it out. So, that was why it kept blowing the breakers and why had no AC. And within five minutes after the electrician was here, he had that figured out. But the AC man was here five minutes, and said, "You need to go buy a new breaker" after eight days of no AC.

    As far as the American Home Shield, themselves, I love them. I recommend them. I was a customer of theirs years ago, which is why I went ahead and bought the policy again. However, my policy went up and I was never informed that it was going up in cost. I just know that I've always had it on auto pay for $60, and I've paid that amount forever. Then, all of a sudden, I went to check the bank account to make sure that I have enough money in, checking off bills that are coming through, and I saw $75 instead of 60. So, I called them and they said, "Didn't you get the email?" I said, "I would not be calling you if I got it." It's not that I didn't get the email but it did not catch my eye that it was an increase in payments. I told him that what they should have done was sent out a quote, a paper notification along with the email in that case.

    I've been satisfied with the American Home Shield so far. I did my homework to find out who was the best to get, and they were highly recommended. That's why I went with them. After the pump was installed, it blew apart. We were fine with the tech, but I didn’t like that I had to wait for a week for him to get back here. I guess they've got so many claims, they can't keep up. I couldn’t use the pool. Plus, you have to put chemicals in it, and it has to be stirred up in order for it to be right. Other than that, the techs were very professional and they have very fine etiquette.

There was nothing they could do other than check and make sure that the ducts had no damage and were all connected, and that the size of the air conditioner in this house now wasn't enough to fully air condition the whole house because this is a three-bedroom, and suggested either a larger air conditioner or either adding another zone to the house.

Occasionally, I get an idiot, but I understand the process. My biggest complaint is, a couple of times, I was trying to explain what my malady was, and they didn't understand what appliance I was talking about. The CSR's understanding about the individual products could be improved.

    I had a good experience with my recent claim with AHS, but the problem is still there. When my sprinkler system comes on and a watering system comes on, you hear a big knocking noise in the house. My landscaper guy said he's done everything he can to prevent it. He went out in the backyard and dug up everything, changed all the valves. When the tech was there, like anything else, it never happens. But I reset my sprinklers for 5:30 in the morning and I can hear a little boom when it first comes on. Then, I do a little irrigation on my deck with my plants and I can hear that noise. I spent 100 bucks but the noise is still there. I need to call and see if they want to send somebody back out to check in again.

    When I call American Home Shield, I get transferred from one person to another person. I also have to go through all this again, my phone number, my email address, my residence address and that's a lot of waste of time. They also increased my price so much that I'm probably not going to renew. The last time I took a look at it, it was 90 bucks and I was paying 50 in the beginning. So that, I'm not happy with. But I'm happy with AHS. I just wish they wouldn't have increased my monthly fee so much.

They were super clean, put down the mats where they were working and did not a scratch on anything. I wanted to get them for this most recent service call with All Pro. They are horrible compared to Mavericks. When Mavericks was at my house, they said they could do the issue too but couldn't do it that day. They said they were booked up.

    When I called American Home Shield they wouldn't drop All Pro, who has very poor communications with me. They came to my house and diagnosed the problem on my freezer and refrigerator. However, there was a part I found on the floor. It came off of my freezer drawer. I sent a picture to them but they never replied to me. They were also supposed to come last Wednesday but didn't. They said they had me down for Thursday but I couldn't take another day off work. They were able to reschedule it for Friday but when I tried to get them to confirm it on text messages, they just would say between 11:00 to 3:00. It was very frustrating.

    They came Friday and I was expecting some kind of reply from American Home Shield, which I got very quickly with another situation that was for my dishwasher. The guys that did my dishwasher sent the request in and they had the answer for me before they left. American Home Shield was covering my entire dishwasher to be replaced 'cause it was that bad. The process with the dishwasher was amazing. I never thought I was going to get anything covered under the warranty. I'm very pleased that American Home Shield handled it. But with All Pro, they didn't submit the request right away to American Home Shield. I am waiting still to hear from American Home Shield and I know All Pro didn't include this other part that I found on the ground.

    Sometimes when you're calling American Home Shield's regular customer service, you can tell they're from another country. They still are very professional but I always wonder if they're understanding what I'm saying. Also, there are little tricky things in the language that's not stated in the contract clearly. I got a plumbing service call. I did it online and chose faucet. I didn't see anything saying anywhere in my contract that a faucet outside of your house is called a spigot and it's not covered. I had a plumber come out and paid $100. I also ordered an electrician to come out thinking the claim would be covered. The electrician was kind enough to explain to me, "They're not going to cover your circuit board at all. They're only going to cover an outlet." I have a ceiling fan with a problem and they're not going to cover that too. I went and looked at all these things and found that those were more detailed but it didn't detail the electrical very well.

    The contractors have been okay for the most part. But one of them dragged their feet forever to submit the claim with me and American Home shield calling them multiple times. There was a point where I was thinking, "This is just pointless. Let me just cancel this and move on and figure something else out." But eventually, it did get resolved. I wound up hiring somebody else to do the job. And I still have to submit that claim to American Home Shield to get reimbursed.

    We've only had this warranty for about a year and usually, the claim submission process is okay. It's just the finalization that can take time. I have some frustrations with American Home Shield's ability to expedite or resolve an issue in a reasonable time frame. Over the 48-hour window that they say they need to arrive at a decision, I can wind up having to call American Home Shield multiple times.

    I had a water heater that needed to be replaced and they told me they were only going to pay a certain amount. But if you looked at the average cost of a water heater and replacing a water heater, it was well above the amount they gave. There was no way for me to challenge their decision or give them a couple of estimates in the local community and say that they should match those.

The reps from Precision Appliance Repair said that there was a 30-day guaranty and to call American Home Shield for any issue. So, I went online to redo my order and it said it's still not working. And then, it automatically prompted me for another $100 payment. So, I searched for the phone number and called in. But that minor glitch in their system caught my attention. If it's something that you're still having problems with, which just got fixed, the website should not lead you directly to put in another $100 payment. Other than that, everybody has been great and everything has been very timely. It just so happened that for this claim, the appliance worked for a week, but then the tech had to order a part.

    The company that AHS had contracted to look at my washer the first time is a company that had a really terrible reputation in my community, Accord Appliance. I tried to tell them that I don't want to do business with that company and they made it really difficult for me to try to work with a different company. Then, I had someone from A+ Appliance come look at my washer. He listened to it and said my drain has failed. I got an email from AHS and I gave them a call. They said AHS is not going to cover the cost of getting the washer fixed because there's a foreign object in the drain. But the guy did not open up the washer at all.

    I called the technician and he said the foreign object that may be blocking the drain pump may be a part of the drain pump itself. There is absolutely no reason that AHS should not be covering the repair. AHS said they would send out a second opinion. If the new tech finds the same thing wrong, then I would have to pay another $75 service fee. There’s no guarantee that I have to pay the service fee, but there’s a guarantee that my time will be wasted. It seems like my time and my money are not being valued. I just installed a new drain pump on this washing machine and I got it for $30 off of Amazon. There were no foreign objects in there. I don't want to renew my home warranty with AHS.

    American Home Shield has improved the phone call. It used to be complicated and it was hard to get to them. If you got something broken here and you mention it, the computer handles it. So, it's a lot better than it used to be. The last claim I had was for a garbage disposal. I had it before and there's a tool you use to work it under the bottom. The tech came here and all he had to do was crank it a couple of times and walk off. It worked fine. That one was my mistake. The plumbing company that comes here, Truss, do a very good job. I used them before a long time ago. They do excellent work.

    This house is probably a little over 35 years old so, you're gonna have things constantly wearing out. AHS works good. It covers a lot of stuff and a lot of little stuff that goes wrong. So, that has been a big advantage to us. They keep increasing the price per month though. You're paying $87 a month and you're paying $75 for the work they're doing. So, you got to figure out somewhere in there where there's a happy medium. But we’ll continue to use AHS. Right now, we're satisfied with it.

    With the pandemic and the COVID, family members wanted American Home Shield but a lot of them didn't have the money to pay, so I helped them out. I've got three people, then seven of my relatives, and I've had three other neighborly people that I've referred to them. There was a plumbing issue where my sister is. The maintenance guy said that there was a leak with the cartridge and it was coming down to someone's apartment below. Apparently, the guy's ceiling on the third floor was messed up from a leak from my sister's plumbing. When the guy from the American Home Shield came out, he checked the cartridge and he checked everything. We thought that it was going to be just a matter of changing the cartridge. He said that American Home Shield doesn't go into anybody else's apartment to see where a leak is coming from, so he was limited to what he was able to do.

    There were certain vendors that the cousins had had some experience with that weren't good. And so, if they tried to get one of my relatives to go with that vendor, they should actually listen. Like for plumbing, there were vendors that came out and didn't do anything as they didn't see any leak even though the cousins were telling them that there was. I didn't like that. I told my cousin to call American Home Shield because when they'd do things like that, they'd still bill the company as if they've done something and that's not true. I have issues with that when I know that there's a bad vendor, I'd tell them not to send that vendor out. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with American Home Shield.

    The claims process was pretty straightforward. It was pretty easy to do online. I just picked from a dropdown menu, put it up, and then AHS would try to set a contractor up for it. The tech that came out for the AC was really good. The capacitor went out and he knocked it out pretty quick and then took off. I also put in a claim for ductwork. AHS set me up. They took the deductible and then they contacted the contractor.

    The first contractor didn't answer the phone. I called for a few days in a row but it went to voicemail. I told AHS I needed a different guy. They set me up with a different contractor. Then that contractor said they didn't take American Home Shield claims at the time because they were so backed up. The third contractor put me in a queue. So for easy fixes, my experience with AHS was nice. But trying to get somebody set up for that ductwork call was kind of a letdown.

    Ark-La-Flow Plumbing did a good job but when you're waiting on them to call, you're limited on what else you can do. After they found the problem, got it approved and called back to schedule when they were going to make the repair, they gave me an eight-hour window from 8:00am to 4:00pm. The issue was in a rental property and I like to be around or check on it after they're done. So, that's all day and you're tied to your house. You can't get out and do very much because they can call you at any time. So, the appointment time needs to be more direct. They're busy and sometimes they don't know how long the job they're on will last. But anything greater than two to three hours is too long of a window. Also, I have an issue on what was covered. I had bad plumbing problems into the foundation and it was only so much that AHS was gonna pay. It was going to make it expensive for me.

    In the long run, American Home Shield is costly if you’re not using it often. The yearly amount can add up and not only am I paying the monthly fee, but there’s also another fee on top of that when I use it. So, it would be better if we paid the monthly fee because we're paying anyway although I don't see why I have to pay the co-pay too. But as far as the service, it has been okay.

    Our house is vacant now because of all the damage due to the storm so we thought we’d have everything else checked that wasn't affected. We knew that one air conditioner probably had a leak. It was the tech's attitude. He lied about the filters not being in place. They were sucked up further where he couldn't see them but they were there. Whoever called me from American Home Shield said, “You didn't have your filters in place.” But that has absolutely nothing to do with Freon or a leak.

    I didn't like the fact that he lied. I'm not used to people lying about something so silly. He finally settled down. At first, he was rude, just expecting that we wanted something for nothing. But we knew we had a problem. And now, of course, we do have a problem. The air conditioner is out in the bedroom. So I was irritated. The feeling I got was that they're gonna do anything not to get me an air conditioner if I neede one. My unit is fixable but Freon is extremely expensive and to put Freon into a 20-year-old machine makes no sense whatsoever. It’s money down the drain and the tech didn't even mention fixing the leak.

    I'm looking at other companies now because I'm at a loss. I have the insurance in case something goes majorly wrong. I wanted to be covered because we've had enough expenses with the storm as it is. The garage door people were phenomenal and fantastic people. Overall, I like the way AHS responds. They’ve always followed through and up to this point they were good. This last AC tech was supposed to be representing American Home Shield but he's not AHS. I do not wanna query a whole company based on one person that was a liar.

    I had so much trouble. My furnace went out. My AC went out. American Home Shield had this company to come out, and they never took care of it. They sent me a check without my permission. They sent me a check to replace the furnace and the unit. It wasn’t even enough to cover anything even if I wanted to fix it for myself. Even if I would come half with it, it wasn't enough. Every time we called, they kept saying, “We'll give y’all cash out.” We kept telling them, “No."

    With my refrigerator, I lost food three times and they still never sent the check out for that. They're telling me I needed a receipt and the receipt was being sent and I never heard anything since. Then the AC claim has been going on since January up until right now. I’m speechless because they left me hanging and it’s too hot. I'm very dissatisfied. I've had American Home Shield for a year. It’ll be coming up and they had asked me to renew again.

    We had an issue with the garage door. If we push the button, it would not respond immediately so we had to put half the weight of our body against the button for it to start coming up. I used American Home Shield's website to make a claim and it was a very seamless process. The website told me the name of the company and the contact number. Outside of that, I got a text message from the home warranty company stating that my ticket had been assigned to that contractor. That contractor called me in less than an hour and said, “I'll be in the area. I received your ticket from your home warranty people.” It was very quick.

    The person who came gave very good service. He was very polite and professional. I showed him where the garage was and pointed out what the issue was. I then allowed him to work. Once he got done, he came back and explained to me the short-term resolution he could offer. He installed a button that was almost doorbell-looking right next to the actual switch. That allowed the garage door to come up more easily. He told me that the lifespan of the garage door is coming to an end. He showed me where the garage door was bent which was causing it to slowly come up. He told me that I may want to start looking at replacing it. For that type of garage door, it would be around $1,500.

    On the whole, the initial welcoming was a little shaky but I got the right person on the phone that resolved things. As far as putting in the tickets, that has been very user-friendly on my end and very straightforward. The reason I went with American Home Shield was because two of my good friends also have had the home warranty for the past five years. They said American Home Shield was reliable.

    The contractor took care of the leak. They came quick and they were good. However, I feel like American Home Shield tries to get out of more claims than they want to pay us. This particular one was covered. They didn't have anywhere to go. But in general, I'm not crazy about the pricing of the AHS considering they don't pay for much. I'm probably not going with it next year because I found a company that's a lot cheaper. My mom uses them and she said that they pay a lot more claims. I've read their contract and it does cover a lot more.

    People should read the contract and just know what they're willing to cover, if it's even worth it. You have to do the math. So, you got to pay $75 fee for every visit, and then you got to pay about 900 a year, in my case, for my pool and my house. So, what's your break-even point if you have a claim? Because it sounds like you're always going to be in the negative. And when they don't want to pay anything over a couple of $100, you're not really benefiting. I'm better off either not buying a warranty or buying one that's half the price that covers more.

But he diagnosed what he thought the issue would be. Once I filled the pool up, he came back out, and we realized that there was air that had gotten into the filter that made it so the pump wasn’t blowing.

The contractor was awesome. I liked him because he was an older gentleman and he was old school. He knew what was wrong with my dishwasher before he even tried to trouble shoot it. People should consider AHS especially if their appliances are older, like mine, which are all 15 years old.

    Everything was automated when I submitted a claim with AHS. I didn't like the fact that I couldn't speak to somebody about scheduling. They just said, “A technician will be assigned, and they'll be contacting you for an appointment.” We were gonna have to go out of town for a couple of days. I ended up writing down the information of who the vendor was because it said who would be doing it with a phone number. I ended up getting up really early, calling them the next business day and said, “We need an appointment in three days, not today or tomorrow.” If I'd been in town, that would have been great about how responsive, to get something really soon, but it didn't give me an option for like, “Do you have a day that you want them to come?” It just auto-assigned you.

    Also, I find it pricey that every time I call, I pay a service call. For our garage door, we paid the garage door company to come to fix it, and literally two days later, it didn't work. Then we already paid those guys $249 to supposedly fix the issue. I forgot we had AHS. So I called the AHS rep and had to pay $79. Luckily, the tech was able to fix it. But every time, if it breaks down again, I’ll have to pay another. I just find that that adds up a lot. There shouldn’t be such a high fee or should be included as part of the policy.

    The claim process has been fine. Getting the service scheduled was pretty simple. The contractors have been able to come out pretty quickly. But I did have someone come out for my HVAC and I paid the $100 deductible but they didn't fix it. They put like a Styrofoam thing around the pipe, and then they just put zip ties all over. It was not quality work. But they are coming back out without paying the deductible again. So that was fine.

    I put the request in on a Sunday. I had been calling in the past but my wife said I could do it online so I did. I got a call that evening that somebody would be out the next day. I like the quick service. I had a clog and also a leak in the garbage disposal. The clog had been there before but the previous plumber didn’t take care of it. But the one I had this time, Michael, did good work and fixed both issues.

    I had someone that came out initially and did not repair it. The one that did the repair, I was very happy with their service. Very professional. Kept me in the loop as far as the time they were coming and the parts that they will use. However, I had an issue with the air condition. The contractor came out, but they couldn't fix it. They didn't want to replace the air conditioning unit. And it was just something as simple as cleaning out the outside of the air conditioning unit, cleaning it out and added some Freon. They didn't even try to attempt to put any Freon in or anything. So, I called somebody local. They came out and were able to get the job done immediately, then AHS reimbursed me.

    This is the second time that I received the reimbursement. I had a water heater issue months back, right around Christmas, with the issue that they could not find the part. The water heater that they said was discontinued, they couldn't find a part. I went online and got the part within an hour. So AHS reimbursed me for the money that I spent on that. But some of the stuff, they look for somebody, if something goes wrong, to go and purchase a water heater or air conditioning unit when it's not that major. Not too many people right now got $4,000 to put towards the air conditioning unit. But they didn't do their due diligence as far as the air conditioning unit.

    Just like this last situation, I ended up having to pay my service fee for a second time. Because the first time they came out for the garbage disposal, there was an issue where the part was not physically located. The contractors had taken the garbage disposal loose and it was on the counter. So they said that they could not determine what was wrong with it because it wasn't hooked up. So they left and I had paid the service fee. And then because they closed it out, I had to go ahead and pay an additional $80. But the contractors that AHS use are looking to get paid, which I understand. But something as minor as adding Freon should not be a deterrent from AHS saying, “Oh, well, the whole system needs to be replaced.”

    You may need a mediator person sometimes to go between the vendor and customer service. Because sometimes, everybody's reading from a script and you can tell that they're not real knowledgeable about some of the topics. I've had three properties with AHS over the same period of time. Now, I only have two. And my rates have gone up $5 or $6. But what am I getting? There are other warranty companies out there that I hear about. People are like, “If you're not happy with AHS, you may want to try this one.” So I still will maintain AHS on my properties until further notice.

    The overall claim process of AHS is great. Any time I’ve had to call, they've always been responsive. I enjoy the service and I’m trying to continue the service. I’d recommend it. For my recent claim, the tech came out and repaired a condenser motor. Then about 30 minutes, he replaced the condenser motor on the main air conditioning. It's working fine and the noise is gone. It was making a loud noise, which the guy said when he came out, was the bearings were being worn out.

    The clothes dryer was not getting hot and when the gentleman came out, he took it apart. He told us that it was a heating element and the thermostat. He said he had to order the parts to find out if the dryer would be replaced. About a week went by and I called them to find out when they were coming back to fix the clothes dryer. The woman said they had just ordered the part. So, we scheduled a time at that point to have the technician come out and fix it, which he did.

    The tech was very courteous and attentive. My only issue is, when you turn the dryer to the correct dial and setting for 60 minutes, I can't use that. So I have to use the auto and then I have to run it a couple of times, but I'm good with that. I don't even care at this point. If there is a part that needs to be ordered, somebody either needs to reach out via email or text message to let the customer client know that there's a delay in the repair instead of me having to pick up the phone and calling. If I had let it go two weeks, it would have gone two weeks. A week was way too long with nobody getting in touch with me. Still, I would recommend American Home Shield. I've used them in the past to make a claim and they have always been attentive and fast. This was the first time that the company or the vendor was not fast in getting back to me.

    I haven't gotten a callback or email from American Home Shield. I had a company come out and check my air conditioning unit, and I have a two-year old, a four-year old, five children in here and nothing's fixed yet. My husband and I have been with American Home Shield for almost three years now, and it just so happened our air conditioning went out right around that time. We gave them a call, and they sent a company out, which we were very pleased with. Ayers Service came out. All we needed was some Freon replaced in our air conditioning unit, and that was what they did, and everything was working fine. Then, the next summer, apparently, we were needing more Freon. We were like, "We just did this last summer. That doesn't make any sense."

    A company came out at that time and they replaced the Freon once more. They put the Freon in, but after a couple of days, it stopped working. Then, I called the company back and I said, "You guys came, did a service, but five days later, it's not working." They came back out and realized that, once they put the Freon in, something was wrong with the compressor. They had to get a new compressor. When they replaced the new compressor, they had to put more Freon in. At this time, I was a little annoyed. The guy who came out stated that my house is huge as far as the square footage and so the unit that I currently have is not capable of taking care of both floors the way it is. It's struggling, was what the guy said.

    He did something to it to allow it to work as though it's the only air conditioning, one unit versus two units, which I have two controls, one in my master bedroom and one downstairs in my living room. He did some alteration, so that one area is controlling the air conditioning throughout the whole house. I said, "Okay, whatever makes it work." I don't know much about air conditioning and so I'm trusting them that they're doing their best to make it work. But then, it stopped working again.

    He came back out, and then, they gave us another quote stating that we needed to replace some other parts of the air conditioning unit. I wasn't comfortable with that. I said, "I've called you guys out at least four times to my home to fix it and whoever had come prior to, didn't put the compressor on correctly and so it burned out, and they had to replace another compressor." It was a lot of drama with that last company. After all of the drama, I said to AHS, "I personally believe that you guys need to replace my air conditioning unit." Because with all these different people they've sent out to do patch-up work, it sounded like it was a bigger issue than what was being addressed.

    Then, a week ago, my air conditioning went out again, and they were back. This time, I said to American Home Shield personnel, "I don't want you sending somebody that is going to rig up something to make it work temporarily, and then I have to call again for this service to happen, for us to get some air conditioning." She told me and promised me she would give me someone with three stars or more. I said, "Why wasn't I getting someone with three stars or more to begin with?"

    I got another company, the same company that came initially to address the issue. According to the gentleman, he thought that we need to replace the unit is what I was under the impression. I said, "I said this last year, but nobody was listening and here we are again." I was the only one with my family that's suffering, everybody else is living in their air-conditioned home, while we're here with 10 fans in our house trying to keep cool. It was very annoying. I told the lady a week ago I'm just going to cancel AHS because there's no point in me and my husband paying $50 a month to have this type of service, and then still not get the service that we deserve or that we're paying for. It's not right.

    When I called last week and I was trying to get the service and see what I can do, their automated service was asking, "Press one for service, press this for that." I pressed the one, and then they automatically charged my card $100 for the service. I talked to the lady, "I did not want service, I was calling to speak to you guys in regard to the situation that we're having again, and I'm ready to cancel."

    She said, "Ma'am, don't cancel, I'm going to send somebody." She was very nice in regard to trying to work with me. She said, "I'm going to send someone complimentary of service to come and give you this service and see what's going on with your air conditioning." But the company still charged me $100 for the service. So, I called AHS back and told them I was being charged even though the lady promised me that it would be complimentary. She tried to reach out to the other lady who stated that it would be complimentary because her name was on the account and I never got a response back. But nobody called me back, it was still charged on my card.

    Recently, I had a problem with the attic fan and the techs replaced it. The only problem I've ever had with American Home Shield is with an air conditioner and that's because instead of replacing it, they just kept replacing parts over and over again. Patching is not often the solution to something, and that seemed to be what they wanted to do. All the patching probably could have paid for another air conditioner. So I ended up replacing the AC I had and not using American Home Shield for that. I suggest that you read the fine print.

    American Home Shield was quick on getting someone out and I appreciate that. When I'd turn the water on, it would come up through the actual spigot around the base rather than out where it's supposed to come. A plumber was scheduled to come at 4:00 and he called earlier that he was free and could he come on out, which was super fine with me. He came out, figured out what he needed, went to Lowe's, and got the part. He came back and repaired it.

    Getting a little bit more explanation on things would be good. When the plumber was telling me what might happen, that he might have to replace the whole faucet, he said that American Home Shield would not replace it. Either they would go ahead and order it and it could take a week to two weeks to get it, or I could go ahead and buy it then he could come out and replace it for me for a $50 charge. Or if I let his company go ahead and order it, then it could take a week to two weeks to get it in.

    My understanding was that if they couldn't fix it, American Home Shield would pay for it. They just replace it if it could not be repaired. But according to the way I understood him, if it couldn't be repaired, then the plumbing company would work with American Home Shield and get reimbursed. My brother-in-law's sister had had American Home Shield for 20 years, and as far as I know, everything that they've had to have repaired that couldn't be repaired was replaced. That was why I got American Home Shield.

    I also don't like the automated system. The voice that answers the phone and get you through all the different things is so irritating. Additionally, I'm paying $70 a month and they automatically charged my Visa $100 before the rep even said she'd get somebody out. I know they have to get their pieces of pie, but it seemed a little bit presumptuous that they would automatically pay my charge. I would rather have written a check and given it to the plumber 'cause I don't necessarily want it on my charge card. There should be an option for that. They may feel that it's more convenient for me and for them to go ahead and charge it but that was a little bit unpleasant. I can understand why they're doing it though.

    I usually go online to file a claim but now, I'm going to be preferring to do it over the phone. I was a little dissatisfied with the last company that was sent out. I’ve used AHS' service about five times now and I just had that one bad experience. Calling through the phone and speaking to one of the representatives, they were able to switch me back to one that I was already comfortable with. The service was quick and thorough today.

    The air conditioner wasn't cooling. I made a claim with AHS and the issue turned out to be a short in the circuit. They said they don't cover that. We've had another claim with the fridge and AHS said the same thing. So, it was disappointing because you pay quite a lot for the service and you just assume things are covered. But other than that, everything else has worked out, like our claims on the washing machine and the dishwasher.

    I've had air conditioner problems, appliance problems and water well problem, and American Home Shield pretty much every time has come through. Their claims process is good. I've never had to request reimbursement. I usually go through their service provider. I do sometimes don't like the amount of time it takes for their vendors to respond, but majority of the time, it has been good.

    When there was something with the water well, I was told it was not covered. I called the person out to fix it and he works through AHS. He knew it was, and it should have been covered. It just took a lot of time for them to respond. I finally just gave up on that one, and I didn't get reimbursed for the service that I had paid for directly. But luckily, I got the person out here to fix it that usually comes when they put a call out, and he knew it was something that should have been covered, and I was given incorrect information.

    I do like that they have covered things in the past, and made it easy. One time I had an electric range that went out, and it was fast. As far as anything else to improve, when you do call them, sometimes their hold times are really long. They tell you you can go online but after working all day on a computer, sometimes I just don't want to do my personal stuff online. It's the last thing I want to do when I get home.

    I had a little issue with my garbage disposal. It wouldn't come on. The tech that came out was a very nice and professional person. He found out what the problem was. I had no clue because there was a key that sits in the bottom of the garbage disposal. I didn't have one. So he whipped out that key, and there was some food stuck in there. The pipe wasn't draining because of that food item. So he got that key out and did a little wiggle and got the clogged thing unstuck, and it was perfect. He was done in two minutes.

    I like the quick service with American Home Shield. The tech came out once we got scheduled and did his thing. He was knowledgeable. He knew what the issue was just by taking a quick look at the garbage disposal. The cool thing about it was that he gave me a key for free. He also showed me what to do in the future if the issue happens again.

    The garbage disposal wouldn't turn on. The tech worked with it and got his tool, and it worked. But within a few days, it stopped. Then he came back, got it working again, and it stopped again. We're on our third visit and he is coming out tomorrow. But he's been great. He's been very quick to come out. He's done all he can do short of changing the garbage disposal. But it needs to be replaced. When I have a claim with American Home Shield, it's always about having to call and having the contractor come out about three or four times, and then American Home Shield decides. It's all up to them and the homeowner doesn’t get any say.

    The AC quit cooling. The tech replaced something on the outside unit that went out the first time he came out here. He came out again because it felt like the AC was still running hot to me, but he said that it did not. Plus, he couldn’t find any problems the second time he came out. So for two days, it was 71 degrees on the AC, it was 73 degrees outside, and it was 77 inside. And this was in the morning time. But the AC has been running fine now. One time, I put in another claim with AHS and it took five days for the techs to come out. And that was the time that I didn't know a capacitor went out and it had to be replaced. But I put the claim in over a weekend, so it was just a bad time.

    Reported crack in toilet tank Monday evening. Tech assigned and arrived Tuesday morning, to photograph tank and left, saying it could take 24-48 hours to get approval. 24 hours no response. Called AHS and they couldn't give me a status. Called 48 hours and was told they wouldn't cover repair as it was not "normal wear and tear." I disputed this as the crack begins from the hole where the flush handle extends. A common area of interaction with toilets. They disagreed and said there was nothing they could do about it. I was resigned to finding another source for repair and asked for a refund for the service call as none was provided. It was refused. Suspiciously, the denial of service was made after payment cleared.

    My AC is still freezing up and the gentlemen have been out here three times. It's working great when they're here, but they can't stay here for hours. I asked them if they can just come by later in the evening and there's always that but. Something tells me it’s something up in my attic that needs to be cleaned out. I'm trying to figure out if I want to spend money on that or just do without it. But it's not Home Shield’s or the company's fault. They've done their damnedest to try to fix it. But the evaporator coil was bad. My only complaint is their automated system. Whatever it is can never get straight there. I have to keep demanding to talk to a representative because it's not recognizing what I want. I say air conditioning, and it comes back as saying that the service is not covered. Well, if I don't get AC, I don't need to spend about $85 a month. Talking to a human is much better. Nonetheless, I love the service.

    The washing machine would run, but it would leave the clothes very wet. I tried to figure out what it was doing, and I finally figured out that it just wasn’t spinning the clothes so that they would be dry enough to go in the dryer. I did a little checking on it. I replaced the belt because that was one of the quick and easy things to try, and that didn't make any difference. My son and I checked the water pathway. It didn't seem to be blocked. So, I finally called American Home Shield.

    A guy came out, and he spent some time on it. Then he told me what the problem was. He didn’t go into great detail, but it was something about the control connection to the motor. There was something wrong in there and it had to be replaced. They ordered the parts and then they called me. During that period of time between his first visit and when the parts came in, my wife died. So, I told him I just really couldn’t talk to him right then. Then another day or so, they called and made an appointment. He came out and he fixed it, and it's working fine. He said he had to replace the motor because of some kind of electronic part on it, and then also the control part that went up to the the brain of it. I was very satisfied. As far as being a part of AHS, it has been great. They have done as expected, and it’s been perfect. They were professional and did everything that I needed.

This is probably the fourth claim I’ve filed under the plan and they're always very quick. When we bought the house, AHS was a closing gift. We ended up using it the first year and have renewed it every year thereafter.

    The service ticket I raised about the pool and spa had to have two vendors to come and look at my stuff. When the first vendor came over, he said that there was a frog in the circuit board and due to it, the whole circuit board got fried. It’s a pest damage, so they cannot repair it. Whereas when the other guy came up, he confirmed that it was not a pest damage, but it was rather some sort of electrical surge. It was technically nothing because he fixed it in about two minutes on the spot. So far, my experience has been good with AHS.

A week went by after he came and I called American Home Shield and asked when they were going to schedule to get a new evaporator put in. I told them it's covered under my policy. They told me that they still haven't gotten the report from the technician.

    It's been a couple of weeks now and I call them every day. And they say, “Yeah, we're working on it. We’re trying to get some things done.” They say, “We'll call you within 24 hours. We'll call you back within 24 hours with something to get this claim going” I've been with AHS for five years and paid close to $6,000 in premiums and they can't get anything done on something that should be warrantied under the policy. AHS is the one that hires the techs and they should be able to get reports from them. Also, they charged me $75 for the house call.

    We had issues with American Home Shield in the beginning because when the initial contract was set up, none of our information was listed. The home warranty was purchased as part of the sale of the home and the buyer purchased the home warranty, but it only had his information. So when I called to request service, the reps couldn't help me because I didn't know any of the information that they needed to be able to confirm the contract. The address that was listed was also incorrect. We contacted our Realtor who was able to contact a local representative here in Tucson, who worked through the issues, and later that day, I was finally able to go online and request service.

    I tried first to call and do it over the phone. The changes must still not have registered all the way through the system but I was able to request the service online. I requested to have our AC looked at. There are two units and the technician said he only had authorization to look at one unit. I didn't list a specific unit. I just said AC system. So, while he was there, I had to call to get authorization for him to look at both units. The individual who came was very informative, courteous and polite. He explained everything that he was going to do. So far, the steps that he took seemed to have remedied our problem. We haven't had any continuing issues with the air conditioning units. This is an older home and we were happy to have the home warranty in place to hopefully lessen our total out-of-pocket. So, if our service, during the duration of this contract, continues to go well, we would probably end up purchasing our own home warranty.

I paid my part of the deductible but no one's ever come out. That's been really disappointing.

    One time, I'm very happy with Home Shield. Then one time, I'm not. It depends on the service call and the person who I talk to. I had an issue with my water heater back in 2020. The people came and saw that it wasn't installed properly. According to the city ordinance, it was not secured against the wall. That was the service done by Home Shield. I told them what happened and that it was their service. I haven't touched anything. We went back and forth. I called so many times, and they didn't fix my issue.

    However, I was happy was when my furnace went down. According to San Diego Gas Electric, they came and replaced the whole thing without giving me any headaches. That was the service I liked, not going through the detail telling me this and this. I am not a professional to know. For the COVID, I understand that it takes longer to dispatch the company or professional to come to see. It took 10 days. But this last call I made about my air conditioning wasn't that bad. The guy came and diagnosed everything for me so everything is good. I'm satisfied with that. When it's plumbing or some issues with my appliances, they're going to take care of that without giving me headaches. That's why I kept the Home Shield now.

It was slow but steady. The tech was knowledgeable about what he did. He went up there and pounded it. When he did the valve, it didn't leak right away. He came back and said he fixed it.

    I've got two accounts with American Home Shield, one is in Georgia and the other in South Carolina. I placed a report on the house in Georgia, where I had a problem with a refrigerator that had built up mold. The technician from Sears came and did a great job. AHS took care of it. I'm very pleased with the response and the way that was handled.

    But I had a claim in my South Carolina house and it was an ongoing situation for about six months. A plumber from Royal Flush came out and was trying to resolve a moisture problem. He cut a hole in my kitchen floor that was about 2-foot by 2-foot through the wood floor and the cement, all the way down to the ground. He found the pipes but there was no water. He was a nice guy, but he could not resolve the problem. My problem with AHS is they paid for the plumber, but my floor was ruined. And Royal Flush, who made the hole, wouldn't fill it. I lived with that hole on my floor for three weeks.

    Also, I called and I talked to one of AHS's agents and they told me that they would cover up to $1,000 for my floor. That would have been better than nothing but then, I was told by one of their supervisors that it wasn't covered. I waited on them to resolve what they were going to do to help me. After dealing with this for months, I just got a handyman to come out and fill the hole up. Then, I still had a problem with the wood floor and had it done a week ago. It was 700 square feet of flooring that I had to pay for out of my pocket and this problem had been going on for six months. I was lead around and I was told a half dozen wrong things. I can't say the number of times that I made the phone call and was told they had turned this over to a locksmith, although it has nothing to do with a locksmith.

What was not on there was that I had a situation where water was flowing into my drain and overflowing. There was no way to put that kind of urgency on the ticket. And Lindsay couldn't get somebody out here until the following day. I called AHS back to try and expedite that situation but talking to them took me a little while longer. If I had pulled out my ticket from The Lindsay Company, it was still gonna be at most a guaranteed 24-hour time so I did not cancel with the contractor. We kept that and we managed it ourselves until the following day.

    The Lindsay Company was fantastic and they did a really good job of addressing that item quickly. The only issue was that my wife didn't know about the second item on the ticket and Lindsay had not reviewed their work orders to confirm that. I had to call them back after they had left and they came right back and took care of the second item. I had a really good experience with both American Home Shield and The Lindsay Company.

    Thanks for your vote!
