The filter wasn't all the way in. The contractor was able to fix it and it was repaired quickly. We've only put in three requests. We cancelled one of them. We've only been using American Home Shield for a few weeks and it's been great so far. It’s expiring and we're hoping there'll be an opportunity to renew it.

The process of submitting the claim to American Home Shield was fine and I feel good about the coverage. The contractor seems to be great. However, one socket in the hallway still doesn’t seem to be operating because the guy said something in it wasn’t working. But I'll get him to look at that when he comes back. He's gonna contact me again when he's coming back out to install my ceiling fan.

I've got two American Home Shield policies. I've got a policy in my home, and I've got a policy on my rental. And I've used them both two times. On my house, they've replaced the water heater twice. Worked out just fine. On the rental, the first time, they had to come out and do a repair on the furnace fan. And the second time, they had to come out and do a repair on the air conditioning fan.
On the rental side, there’s just confusion on the setup. So, when they came out for the furnace repair on the first time, AHS said that I should contact K&S to let them know that the ticket has been created instead of scheduled. So, I called them. And then, K&S said, “No, they've already called us. No need for you to call me.” Several months later, the air conditioner had an issue. And got the same feedback, “You'll hear back from K&S.” Then I waited. Didn’t hear anything. So, when I called K&S, they were like, “Yeah, we have to hear from you.” It was conflicting. On the initial appointment engagement, what is the right process, what does the consumer need to do, that needs to be cleared up. But both interactions with K&S have been outstanding. Service technicians were smart, knowledgeable, and experienced.
The latest appointment, the tech was hours late. I know technicians just pick up their work stream, and they go about their business. They don't know what they're gonna get involved in during the day. And he had explained that that particular week, they had staff shortage, and everybody is picking up other tickets and all these other types of things. So, I don't hold the technician accountable for that. I don't even really hold the K&S accountable for it other than nobody reached out to me to let me know that they would be late. I had to call back. The technician got out there. He was quick, knowledgeable, and diagnosed the problem. They put in a part order.
And then, on the return trip, when the part came in, the part took longer than they expected. But these are weird COVID times, and everything's delayed in production. It is what it is. But he came in, and he was on time. I had the 8:00 to 12:00 time slot, and he was there 8:30. So, he was at the front side of the appointment, which was really nice. He came in, replaced it. It worked. Everything went well.
For 60 bucks a month, having replacement coverage is why I bought the policy. It's an attractive replacement coverage product. AHS has the market beat on replacement coverage. If your roof gets damaged by a storm, your insurance takes care of it. Any of your hardship property, cars, anything, it takes care of it. You don't have insurance on your systems, and if your air conditioner, heater and furnace, or you have piping down to the road, if any of these stuff breaks, those are car-level cost repairs. These are the things that when these things break, you're putting payment plans on them because they are significantly expensive. So, I invested in this service because I am risk adverse, and I don't want a $20,000 repair.

When the dishwasher was not working correctly, a technician came out the first time and fixed the pump but the problem did not go away. We raised another request and there was no charge for the subsequent trip. The same technician came back and was able to fix. The only issue is the availability of folks to come by. It is such a long lead time which becomes inconvenient. For almost four weeks, we had no option but to do dishes by hand.

I didn't have a problem with putting in the work order for the AC and American Home Shield getting somebody out to the property within 24 hours. The technician called me 30 minutes before he came out. He gave me enough time. He also knew what he was doing. He went right in there, replaced the compressor and kind of explained to my dad the difference between the freon. I was gonna get R407C but I ended up switching back to R22 because it cools the house a little bit better. I had American Home Shield a long time ago when I first bought the house and that time, it was difficult getting the AC fixed. But this time, it was very easy. They cover only $10 for the freon so that was a little pricey but I was okay with that because everything else was covered. We have another house in Pensacola and I'm thinking about adding that house and our house here in Texas onto my plan.
Taking care of our members is the main goal here at AHS. I am glad that you were happy with the work done.
We look forward to servicing you in the future as needed. Enjoy your day.

I'm really upset about American Home Shield. They think the service is included then I'm being charged by the plumber that comes then they tell me that I have to pay that amount. It's outlandish. American Home Shield could help me with big item products. I'm paying a lot of money to the plumbers because American Home Shield says it's not included. I ended up paying for the freon for the air conditioning unit which is fine but they charged me twice. I told them I had an air conditioner problem. When the guy came, he said, "It's two different services because you have two different units." I said, "But you're here. Why would I have to pay twice the $100." But that's American Home Shield's policy. I feel like I'm being ripped off by them. I'm extremely disappointed.
When I asked to speak to the manager, the lady who I was speaking with at American Home Shield said the manager was in a meeting. It's a standard answer that they're told to give on a regular basis. A water heater guy also came and he was gonna charge me $650. Then he said, "We don't need to charge you for this part, so let's make it 570." I called American Home Shield and told them that was not right. They get going on with their standard answers of too bad, they're not going to do anything about it. I would like a reimbursement for the $570 out of my pocket that they were supposed to cover.

I had to use American Home Shield last year for the dishwasher. Active Appliances came out and fixed it. Ironically, it was the exact same issue that happened again this year. I scheduled the appointment. They called and set up a video conference call, just walked through it first. They came back out and corrected it. I also had to use AHS for the stove and they fixed it as well.
However, my recent claim with the air conditioner has been a total nightmare. It started growling and then making a noise. The gentleman that came out from the company was curt and did not explain things very well. He said he fixed the part but I might have to have the air conditioner serviced at some point because it was dusty. I asked how much they charge for service. He said that it's usually $400 per unit, but since they're doing both of the units, it will be $700. He asked if I wanted to make an appointment. I said I need to call around and find out if that's the best bet because Home Shield doesn’t cover it and I wanna make sure that I'm getting a fair price. He said that I should call or text them if anything happens and he'd come back out then he left.
That night, the same problem started happening again. I called the company back. They called back and said that I would have to pay $700 to have it cleaned because that was why it was not working. I was not buying that because I called around and it’s 125 per unit on average for a company to do service. I told them that I'm not okay with it, it's exorbitantly high for what the process is, and that I'm being taken advantage of. Then they said that they would send out a supervisor.
The supervisor gentleman came out and explained things. He pulled out the blower wheel from the air conditioner and said that somebody put screws in, so that was what throwing everything out of balance. He showed me what he was talking about. He said he took out the motor and then it stopped working. However, he didn't have the parts. But he talked to his supervisor and that supervisor said to go ahead and they'd do both parts and they would be covered. He just had to order them. Then, I got an email from Home Shield saying that my claim is being denied and it's not gonna be covered. I put in three to five calls to them and every time I called, I got a slightly different story. I've asked for a supervisor to call back over the past week and I’ve yet to receive that call. My oldest daughter is epileptic and has to have air conditioning. If she gets hot, she seizures, so this is a very sensitive and frustrating subject for me.
What makes me super uneasy is the first guy that came out saying that it's the part that he replaced and I need to have it cleaned. Then he didn't catch in his first visit what the second gentleman found. I never knew if he put the screws in there. He was at my house for 45 minutes and he was in the attic doing whatever he did. He did not come down to explain and show me the parts like the second gentleman did. I don't have any trust or faith in that company because they're dishonest. Then when the supervisor came out again yesterday, he said that it was dusty in the attic and that my unit outside looked good. So, it just backed up the fact that the $700 claim that they were making was not valid, it felt like extortion, and getting Home Shield to be there had been ridiculous.
Then I renewed the warranty in February and paid for it but when I went to log in to my account, it was telling me that it was expired and that I didn't have an active plan. I called and spoke to a very nice girl. I eventually just fished around on the website and I was able to figure it out. Then she asked me to show her that so she could help customers. Not a problem. But just the knowledge level of the staff at Home Shield is subpar.

Usually, I would call for the service on any appliances and most of the time I get the technician, for the air conditioner, sometimes the next day or two days the most. For the other appliances such as garbage disposal, which I don't have too many, maybe one or two days. This one took almost four months. I wasn't happy because this was a request that I did on April 12th. American Home Shield solved the problem last week. Fortunately, they authorized me to get a dishwasher, which I already did. It was a brand new one. And they gave me Olis. But how would you feel that you requested service for a dishwasher and it took four months to get it fixed?
The issue was finished. But the first request was in April 12th. Unfortunately, that wasn't in my house. It was in another house. So the tenant was in my back almost every single day. Sometimes they would say, "Well, we're going to get a new one and that's your problem." Or, "We're going to get it fixed from somebody else and that's your problem." Or, "We don't pay you the rent." Or, "We're going to take the money away from the rent." All those things that you get from the tenants.

For my recent claim with AHS, the AC work seems fine. The rep came and it was a problem with the fan blade. I directed them what the problem was and they were able to do the mechanics to fix it. But we have other bigger problems with AHS. I had to call in for an oven. It's now over five weeks, I don't have an oven working because, first, they made us do a teleconference with the service provider who said, "Yes, it's the coil that's broken. We're going to order that for you. It will be in a couple of days." Took 10 days to get it in, then they get scheduled.
Now, it's two weeks after our initial problem and they're supposed to come to fix it. The technician got on site and said, "The coil's fine, it's the thermostat. We got to order a new thermostat for you." That was three weeks ago. Then, my wife reached out to them. They said, "The thermostat is no longer available. So, you can wait 12 to 14 weeks for us to repair or we'll give you $250." Neither of those things got me an oven in my home in the appropriate time covered. So, they wanted me to go four and a half months without a working oven.
It also takes a long time to get AHS on the phone and their representatives are not helpful enough because they're not given the power to be. They're certainly bilking the customers. They want to take my premium, they want to charge me $80 every time somebody gets sent out, but they don't want to stand up and fix the actual problem when it cost them anything. But that's what I'm paying for. I pay them in advance to have coverage and they're not providing that coverage. They have to fix my oven, and if it's gonna take them a year, that's not an option. They need to replace it with a like or better model.
On another issue, I had a leak coming out of my sink and toilet. Flooded my first floor. Some of it even went to the second floor. I have a video of it leaking. A plumber came out and said, "I can't replicate it. Not my problem." I said, "There's got to be a clog somewhere down the pipe or there's a leak." He said, "We can't get access." I said, "It's right behind the wall." He said, "Not our job," and walked out. AHS has inferior providers of services. Their contracted companies either don't know or are not interested in doing the job and fixing it. I'm going to be shopping around for an alternative coverage provider. AHS doesn't provide the services they promise and they certainly don't do it with any reasonable time frame.
Are you still in need of assistance?

I'm a property manager so I call more often than your average homeowner or policyholder because I have multiple properties and I have American Home Shield on several of them. I don't recommend them to my property owners. I've had a bad experience with the call experience and the vendors several times. I've had one particular vendor that they continue to use and time and time again, there are issues with their services and work done.
AHS could improve on the outsourcing of the call centers. That is sometimes frustrating because there's a little bit of a language barrier. I've noticed they've started to implement some scripts but it's still not that great. They should have their call centers here in the US. Also, when people give feedback on the vendors that are used, they should take that into consideration when doing future business with those vendors. I always tell my owners that customer service is probably the most important when it comes to considering a home warranty. Because the warranty is the warranty. But it's the ease of getting the service and things handled properly that matter. Time and time again, if they have AHS, they should switch or avoid it.

Before, I was able to log in through the website of AHS. But I don't know why I've been having trouble logging in. So I had to call and submit a claim. But it was easy. The freezer stopped cooling and the icemaker stopped throwing ice. Then it felt like the fridge inside was already not cooling enough. They made the appointment. The first appointment, they just wanted to give me a date, two weeks from that day. So I called AHS back and they scheduled me with another company. They got me in within four days. The tech came out there and I needed more Freon in the fridge. He recharged it. Got it back working and pretty fast and easy too. The quality of the work was good. The main issue that I've always had is that sometimes when I call, they don't want to give me an appointment till two weeks out.

We had some bolts that came loose on the side of the toilet where the toilet was almost spinning. The techs fixed that and everything got taken care of. Whenever something goes wrong, I can count on using my home warranty. It helps take away the major cost. One of the things that I found to be important was that the warranty also covered the hot water heater.
My parents are elderly, and they’re on a fixed income, so for them, it’s very helpful to know that they don’t have to take the full blow of the cost out of pocket. I told my dad that AHS's warranty covers the hot water heater too. So we dropped his other warranty so we would have AHS. My father had a leak in their piping that drains the water out which caused damage to the flooring in their cabinet. He reported that the techs were wonderful guys.

My washing machine wasn't going through its rotations. Lamar was the gentleman who came from the company. He was fabulous. He had the whole thing fixed within half an hour.

You just call them, pay your $75 fee, and then you never pay another thing for that call. When I had just moved in, the dishwasher started to flood my brand new kitchen and the contractor was out and fixed it incredibly quickly. I would recommend keeping American Home Shield. There's a certain peace of mind knowing that I can call somebody that I trust. I don't have to start calling people. I just call American Home Shield and if they can't fix it, they replace it. If that washing machine couldn't be fixed, they would have bought me a new one. So it's well worth the investment.

American Home Shield's monthly rate was better. When I call, they always have a third party come out and handle what is needed to be done. And they have been good to service and everything has been fine. The contractor is coming out again tomorrow to add a float switch to the air conditioning system that is not there. But when I call to put in a claim, I don't like how they automatically say, "We'll charge your credit card,” before even adding on the service to be done. So I always hang up and call back to talk to someone first before I had them take my funds out of my account.
We've also had electrical and a plumbing work done. They were resolved, except we're having a situation with the plumbing part that was done last year. Our bathroom sink, the stopper that holds the water in the sink, two of them are messed up again.

He said that once the part comes in, he would come back to fix it. He came back a week and a half later with the part and it took him 20 minutes to replace it. He put the microwave together, tested it out and cleaned up his mess. It was the control panel and it worked perfectly after that. The guy knew what he was doing. I love American Shield. I've had them for years. It was very convenient for me and because I've done claims in the past, I knew how simple it would be. It was a very positive experience. People should sign up quickly.

American Home Shield did finally resolve my issue. They weren't very communicative throughout the process. I had to stay on them. But they did resolve my issue and my A/C was repaired. The A/C repair company was very good throughout.
Original Review: July 12, 2021
My air conditioner needs to be repaired. American Home Shield has already sent the technician out. He diagnosed the issue as a broken compressor. I am now waiting for over 2 weeks and the part still hasn't even been ordered. Let alone repaired. It was been two weeks of over 90-degree weather with no A/C. I have called customer service every day for the past week and every day there is no update.
Thanks for sharing your warranty experience. I apologize for the inconvenience we've caused you. My name is Robert and I would like to speak to you more about your claim.

My sump pump stopped working and it needed to be checked. I called American Home Shield and they sent the plumbers who did a good job. I didn't have a problem this time but I had a problem the first time I used American Home Shield. It was for a garage door. The garage door company called me and set up a time with me on Sunday between 12:00 and 4:00. However, they called me at 10:00 in the morning and said they were 15 minutes away. I said, "I'm not there. You all told me between 12:00 and 4:00."
I came home and waited. Then I called and asked what was going on. They told me they rescheduled the appointment. I asked why would they do that and the guy said said, "The driver was in the area at 10:00. We weren't able to get a driver back out there." At that point, I called American Home Shield and told them that was not good business. I asked them to send a new company out. I told them I didn't want to deal with that company. The gentleman that I spoke with was very nonchalant and dismissive of what I was saying.
The person that I spoke with at American Home Shield told me that there was no one else and that she would get in touch with that company. To end it all, when I spoke with someone that next day, they said American Home Shield doesn't cover fixing springs in the track. I was very disappointed because after all that, I still had to call a separate company out to come and fix the problem. They could have told me from the beginning they didn't cover it. If they told me then, then I wouldn't have wasted a week sitting there, waiting for a new job to show up. American Home Shield also took the $100 service fee and I'm still waiting on that.
The second experience was better and it made me feel a little more comfortable with calling for help because these guys came out between the times that they said they would, were very professional and didn't have any side talk. They saw what the problem was and told me, "Your sump pump's bad. It's old and needs to be replaced." They went out to the truck, got it, and within 30 minutes, they were gone and the problem was fixed.

So far, American Home Shield has been doing a good job. They sent us a service representative to come out from an air conditioning place to evaluate the noise that my air conditioning was making. The service reps said that they'd have to check back with American Home Shield to see what they're going to do about it. I haven't heard anything and it's been five days. Other than that, I’ve had one other claim with them and they were very good about coming out and fixing the issue. From what I can gather, they're a good home warranty company. They've been good about making sure somebody was on top of my claim.

The latest claim we had and American Home Shield has completed was plumbing. The claims process was fairly easy. I requested someone online. We had a really great guy come out. His name was Joe, and he came to fix three of our clogged faucets. He was able to fix everything. He was very pleasant. As soon as he got to the door, he showed us his vaccination card and came on in. He had put a little foot covering on, so he wasn't bringing any dirt or anything into the house, and it was very pleasant.
We've had other repairs through American Home Shield and we're waiting for reimbursement of the oven. The oven just stopped working completely. They provided options to pick something, and I didn't see anything that I liked, so I purchased one. So, I'm just waiting to be reimbursed for that. Having American Home Shield lowers the cost as opposed to me trying to hire someone I find on Yelp. It's certainly reassuring to have someone who's been vetted through American Home Shield, making sure that the contractor that comes out will do the work correctly and if there is a problem, they will come back out and repair it until it's fixed or until they feel we need to get another one. That was what happened with the oven. They sent several people and no one was able to figure it out. So, we had to go on and just replace it.
Every time we've had a claim, it's worked out to the best of both parties. The service has been great and the representatives that I speak to on the phone when I have to call and speak to a live person have always been very nice and helpful. As a matter of fact, I had a gal yesterday because I had to call for a light switch. The gal was Carol, and she was very good and she helped with the electrical problem.

My third policy with American Home Shield was getting ready to expire on June 4th so I called and renewed my home warranty. 623 bucks was charged on my credit card and I paid for the whole year at a time. About June 2nd, I thought that since we are going to put our house up for sale, I was going to upgrade the warranty to one that is a little bit better because we’ll use that as a selling tool for our house. I called American Home Shield and asked what kind of deal they could give me on the upgraded one I had. It was 150 bucks more and I was fine with that. It covered a lot more stuff. They said they were just going to charge my credit card the difference, which was perfect.
I thought everything was all good. There were a couple of things that happened on the house and I was thought, “I'm gonna get this taken care of. We got the warranty.” I paid for two of those. The first service we had was for our refrigerator and that went as smooth as silk. The second one was for our Whirlpool tub. The people that are doing the part for the tub had to reschedule twice because they had a family emergency. I was cool with that. A guy came and was super professional. He was here a few minutes and he took a picture of the part. It's been over a week and we just want to know if the parts are there or not. The people that ordered the parts are offsite. We're moving an hour way and it's gonna be very inconvenient to come back to the house. We really need to get that tub fixed before we move.
I also keep getting a bill for $90.99 and I've gotten called by American Home Shield. I spoke with a very nice lady who said it was gonna get taken care of once things get caught up. Their system would not allow them to just add the extra 150 bucks. They had to refund the other and do this. For a while, they had both amounts. I just noticed that my credit card statement yesterday finally showed up that on July 2nd, it charged the full amount of the 714. On July 7th, they had credited my card for the first amount so I should be all up to snuff.
This had been causing me anxiety. I called four times the last week trying to get this settled. I sold the house and when I give the new people the warranty, I don't want them to have any issues. I don't want these people to get a bill for the house from American Home Shield and keep thinking we owe money. I paid for the whole thing back in May and I don't owe any money.
I keep calling American Home Shield and I keep getting people that do not speak very good English. The issue never gets resolved. But the lady I spoke with said that the issue should straighten out and to give them a call back on Thursday. She was escalating something up and she said it should show up on Thursday. I want to get a new package with American Home Shield for my new house because we close on Friday, but I'm having a hard time right now. I want to resolve the issue with the old house first. I'm gonna give it till the end of the week and see if it gets resolved.
Before this issue happened, I was super happy with American Home Shield. All in all, we love them. With the issue with my account, it was probably just a computer glitch. When I got the first warranty then cancelled it and upgraded, somebody just didn't get what was happening. That aside, American Home Shield is a good company. I've pretty much recommended it to everybody in here and all my neighbors have it. I'm gonna take that into effect when I get a price on my new house. Maybe they'll cut me a good deal.

I'm not super happy with American Home Shield’s service. Everything is not covered. I had a tub leak, and it was upstairs. When the tub drained, it was leaking from the upstairs through the dining room chandelier. So I called them, I paid the $75 service fee and it took them three weeks to determine that it wasn't a covered expense. They told me to pay the plumber $475 more. He was going to cut open my wall to ascertain the problem. They won't fix the wall damage though. I called another plumber and I got it fixed for $200.
As far as their response, it varies. Sometimes they give you an appointment four or five days out. Sometimes it's the next day. I think it all depends on the vendor when you get the appointment. But this latest experience, I'm really second guessing the whole thing. I'd tell others, “No, I think you're better off just doing it on your own and calling on your own.” Companies they contract with are just second-rate, and they're doing insurance calls to get business because they don't have regular business.

Realty Rekey was my second choice. The first company that was assigned to my claim did not respond until after we have reassigned it to another company. Realty Rekey called me and they did push the original date back to the following week from a Friday to a Monday. But the guy showed up and he was first class. He was exceptional, responsible and did the job in a timely fashion. That experience with Realty Rekey was fantastic.
My personal opinion of American Home Shield is not flattering to them. Their process is onerous, and their reviews reflect that. There's really not much they do in terms of covering appliances, and I wouldn't recommend the expense. In conversations with them, with little follow up, there was no support whatsoever. I had a very old unit that I just chose to upgrade and replace. The coverage wasn't gonna be very helpful. I haven't had anything else go out in the first year, but I'm not going to renew simply because if you check on the process that they have, it's almost better if you can afford to just go buy something and be done with it. I would not recommend them to someone else. There are other programs that are more effective and efficient. They provide more coverage for your money if it's a legitimate claim. I’m not a fan of American Home Shield.

We've been able to call and ask questions. American Home Shield steered us back to a manufacturer warranty in one instance and have been prompt, informative, and kept us in the loop. For the dishwasher, the gentleman that came out was wonderful. He was on time and stayed on task. When he came back, he explained what happened, showed me how it would not happen again because there was a fire inside the dishwasher that we were unaware of. So, really grateful that he was able to put my mind at ease and showed me how that wouldn't happen again based on his repairs. It has been great because anytime something looks like it would start to go wrong, which we have always referred to our house as the place appliances go to die, we now at least know we have some back-up to this instead of just constantly replacing things. We're grateful to have the back-up now.

AHS has been really great and they've been responsive. We've only been in the house for less than six months and we didn't expect to have this going on with the house but with them, we would call and they would send somebody and let us know what's going on. The first thing we had an issue with was our furnace and it was a couple of days after moving into the house. It was leaking a bucket every couple of hours and they realized that the previous owner didn't have the pipes set up properly on the furnace to drip. They fixed that.
But I didn't appreciate having to call every day to get the stove replaced. The Sears tech said it was best to just replace our Frigidaire stove and he said that AHS will be in contact with us. But no one did so I called AHS and stated what the tech told us. AHS said they can order the appliance or I could do a cash-in-lieu. After two and a half weeks of calling back and forth with the replacement line, I said I would do the cash-in-lieu. I ordered the stove and I sent a receipt. They're going to send us back the money for the stove up to $938.40. Also, we are waiting for someone to do something with the attic fan and I haven't heard anything back about that.

With the upfront sale made to me, American Home Shield made it seem that the process would be seamless but it isn't. It's not as easy as I thought it would be. They have a list of contractors in our area and it turns out the closest contractor we've ever got to come out the house is at minimum 60 miles away. I also had an issue with a technician so I called the provider to say so. The lady was very rude, told me she didn't care and hang up on me. I was quite shocked. I finally got ahold of a live person at American Home Shield and explained the situation to them. They said they were sorry and would try not to send that person out to my home anymore. Most recently, a technician came out to repair our dishwasher. He had to come out twice to do it but got it finished.

Having American Home Shield has been beneficial and I recommend it. We've put in our share of requests and gotten things taken care of. Almost everything has gone smoothly. Recently, I put in two warranty requests the same day, and the air conditioner part was handled, but I also had an issue with our pool pump. The person showed up and said, “The pool pump broke, and we need to replace it. It should be in in a few days, no later than Monday of this week.” I haven't heard from them since.
Last spring, we had trouble with our refrigerator and we ended up being without it for 11 weeks. It was ridiculous. Some repairman would come out and say, “I think this might be the problem,” then we have to wait for parts to come in. They then came back and fixed it or installed the part, and it didn’t work. That happened five times before I finally got American Home Shield to replace the refrigerator.

I called my insurance company, which is American Home Shield, and told them my air conditioner was not working. They told me they'd get someone out there and they chose Plumbers Inc. Arturo, the guy that has been coming out, was nice enough, but he doesn't fix the issue. I'm extremely frustrated.

When I call American Home Shield, I would prefer to speak to someone who's in the United States of America. If I can understand the person, that's fine. One day, I asked to speak to an English-speaking person, and the rep said, “Oh, there's no one here.” At another time, I asked to speak to a supervisor. “They're not here.” I would like that to change.

American Home Shield is a little expensive but because I have had some sort of response and I know how it works now, there's no reason for me to change. I've been with them for about 10 years. The guy who came to do the dryer was a great representative. I got good service this time. He worked on that dryer until he made sure it was right.
The guy that worked on my AC was super. He was here a very short period of time. He was very professional and personable. He shared with me what the problem was. He said, “We've taken care of it. Those things go bad every now and then.” He did what he needed to do. He diagnosed and then he was very careful to make sure he was clean. Because sometimes the physical body of the technicians is not clean. When it takes me a long time to get your body odor out of my house, then it’s problematic. But all of the service folk that is with American Home Shield are not necessarily skilled.
When I called in a claim about a light in my closet, the technician came out and he kind of looked at it and said I needed something. But he didn't touch it. I asked him how did he know that? He said, “Well, the switch is working.” I didn't understand what was wrong. I had a friend of mine take a look and he told me what the issue was. The light has been up there for 14 years and he said it's not unusual after 10 to 12 years for those lights to go bad. They’re not meant to last forever. So the issue was very simple. But if the technician had taken the time to look, he would have been able to fix it right then.
American home shield called the same contractor back. I told the contractor, “Don’t send me back a young guy who is not interested in trying to do a real diagnosis. Send me someone with some experience. If you can't do that, let me know and I'll call American Home Shield again.” The contractor did send me the supervisor, but he was so nasty when he got here. He said, “Now you got it done. So maybe that'll satisfy you. The guy came. He did what he was supposed to.” I said, “No, he didn’t, or else you wouldn’t be here. And you didn't do what he did.”
I have a well and when I had a major issue with my water pump, I didn't have anybody that could fix it. I can't live in a house without water and that’s my only source. So American Home Shield gave me permission to find an outside contractor of my choice. So I did. They sent me a number and I used that number. They sent me the refund form. I kept asking American Home Shield about my refund. They said they didn't get my claim and document. But I uploaded and sent them on the computer twice. I also mailed them twice. On the form, it has a question, “Where do you want it sent?”, and I put in the address of my house.
My mother has been deceased since September 2019. Before she died, she also had a home warranty but she didn't have an email of her own so my email address was there but she paid her contract. We each had our own contract. It just so happened we haven't sold her house and I go over there periodically. After six weeks, I found a $1,500 check in her mailbox. So I called American Home Shield and said, “I don't understand. First of all, why did I fill out the form? Her name, her numbers that you sent to me.” The response I got was, “We have several different departments doing several different things. And so obviously, there's been some confusion as to who should be sending what, where, and they have not taken your mother out and they still link you to your mother.” Somebody could have very easily taken that check, then we would have to go through a whole another situation.

Our unit completely shut off and the upstairs unit shut off a couple days earlier. That got shut off because somebody ran over some of the wires.

They got the upstairs unit working right away, which was great because it kept the house cooled off. Then, they ordered a part. They told us it was gonna take a while and they kept us up to date on it.
They gave us an estimate on what our part was gonna cost and within the timeframe that they said it would take to get the part, they received it. They called us, came out the very next day and the technician was the same technician both times. He went through everything, and it's been working ever since. He did a great job. This was the simplest insurance process I've ever done in my life. Get American Home Shield. For whatever it costs, it’s so worth it for the first year.

I like having the confidence that if major repairs are needed that I'll have some coverage with American Home Shield. But there are a lot of things that are not covered by American Home Shield, like with any insurance. I had a plumbing issue that they helped me with, but the plumber that came out told me that I needed to buy the parts myself because the parts that American Home Shield would provide were not very good quality.
I had a plumbing issue back in March. The other issue I had back in that original plumbing issue that I submitted to American Home Shield was that the plumber had to replace a valve in my upstairs shower. But to replace the valve, I had to pay someone separately to remove the tile around the valve, because the plumber told me that would not be covered by American Home Shield. I had to go out and find a separate contractor to come in and cut an opening, remove the tile, and then once the work was done, have that separate contractor come out and pay them separately to close that up and put the replacement tile on. It was a lot more effort on my part. It would have been a lot easier if all that had been covered under one activity.
American Home Shield has done a very good job on a couple of times I've submitted a request. They've done a very good job of assigning contractors quickly. Even though the contractors are all busy, they've worked me in fairly quickly. So that tells me that American Home Shield has a pretty good standing with the local contractors to be able to get priority with them. I feel good knowing that if I do have a problem with a major appliance that I'll be able to get some support from American Home Shield. So for an older home with older major appliances, American Home Shield provides some peace of mind. But for a newer home or newer major appliances, it may not be worth the investment.

When somebody can't figure it out the first time and they're supposed to be a pro in that area, they're not gonna fix it by coming out a second time. If they knew what they were doing, they would have fixed it the first time. AHS needs to vet the contractors that they send out.

When the air conditioner was not working, I went and made a phone call to American Home Shield. I was told my appointment had been scheduled with Atlanta Air and I called them to let them know.

They fixed one thing then they realized there was something else and they fixed it too. Then they realized there was something else again and they also fixed it. There were six things wrong with it. It was overcharged and the motor for the fan had to be replaced.
I had to call Atlanta Air a little over a month later. The unit was not working again. They said they'd get somebody out as soon as they got free time. They put me in between two other appointments and got it done within two minutes. When they got here, there was a burnt-up wire that they had to replace on the outside unit. American Home Shield has been a 100% blessing. They saved me hundreds after I just spent thousands moving.

AHS sent out a tech to check an air conditioning unit in our rented property. When he got there, he said it needed Freon and charged it. But it was not a thorough job and the tenant doesn't want him to come back to the house. After talking to another air conditioning company, they said that he just charged it and that was not how you do that. They said that the condenser needed to be cleaned before he could even diagnose it. But the diagnosis was made as the first tech walked into the house. So, the tenant was uncomfortable with him. They also said that when a tech gets the unit, he owns the unit until it's fixed.
The price that the tech quoted to recharge the unit was also very high. He wanted to put four pounds in the unit and he wanted 400 dollars. I’m in California, so I called out here, and out here, it's $30 cheaper than what he told me was going to be per pound. So something didn't seem right. The warranty company needs to send somebody back out because the problem is not fixed and the tenant has been communicating with them about this. Other than that incident, we never had any issues with AHS before.

When submitting a claim online with AHS, the options weren't all that great. There wasn't a thing for clogged toilets, so I had it under "other". But it's user-friendly. We've had chronic clogging so the toilet would overflow. When you plunge it, you think it would be fine, but then it comes back out. The guy came out and snaked through the toilets and got them cleared up. Then with the third toilet in the master bedroom, he noticed that while he was checking everything over, the tank is cracked. He wasn't sure if that would be covered, but he was going to submit a claim to see if it would be covered. AHS has a decent deal. You pay the fee. They come out and fix it.

Our toilet in our master bath was leaking on the bottom. I put in a claim online and AHS told me the contractor's name and their phone number. Greenway Home Services has been out here several times and we’ve had some negative interactions with them in the past. But this person that came this time showed up on time, replaced a wax seal, was in and out, and had no problems at all. Having American Home Shield was super convenient. It was 48 hours from the time I put in the request to the time it was completely fixed. People should make that investment.

We initially called American Home Shield on Saturday. We had a leak and couldn't get the water to stop, so we had to shut our water down. AHS said, "We'll put this in as an expedited service request. Someone will be out there today." It didn't happen. So, we went without water for 15 hours. I called the next morning right away. That rep told me, "Oh, we're so sorry. It wasn't put in as an emergency request, but we'll do it today." That time, it was Sunday and I had already looked up Sigmond Plumbing and it said they're closed on Sundays and it said nothing on their website about coming out after hours. I was like, "They're not even gonna come. Do they work after hours?" The rep said, Yes, yes. We sent them the email and somebody monitors it and someone will be in touch with you in four hours." Four hours came and went. So, we had to go and fix it ourselves or we would've went for two days with no water.
Then the techs came in on Monday and they said, "Oh, we can't touch it because you fixed it." We had to do that because we had no water. I told AHS I wanted them to refund my $100 coverage because I feel like everything got dropped. At first, they tried to say, "Well, they came out to your house." I said, "You guys are the ones that dropped the ball in the first place. It was okay for you guys that I would go without water for two days. No, that's not okay. And so, I have no choice but to fix it."
Other than that, AHS has always been really good. I had another situation with a contractor. They couldn't get my toilet fixed. Sigmond Plumbing ended up coming out because the other plumbing company couldn't fix it. It just kept leaking. I got on the phone and American Home Shield was arguing with me like, "No, we have to stick with the initial contractor." I said, "No. My toilet is leaking. Leaking so much that it's budding up to my baseboard. So if you want to cover that as well, let's put in another claim." The rep said, "Oh, no, no, ma'am. Let me look into it." She got back and said, "Okay, we'll send out another contractor."

I called American Home Shield and told them what was going on. They sent the initial guy and he agreed that the stovetop and the built-in oven were shot. The wiring was not up to code so I paid American Home Shield $100 to have an electrician come out and he fixed it. He had to rewire and put a junction box in. But I still got the oven in the middle of my kitchen which is only five feet wide. American Home Shield told me they're looking for a contractor to do the oven. The experience sucks. This has been going on for over two months. I have no cooktop and no oven. I can't cook a steak or even boil water on a stove. I can't do anything with it. It's not wired to anything. They pulled it out when they were going to put the cooktop in and when they pulled it out, they left it out. I have no idea who's supposed to take it away. According to my contract, American Home Shield provides the installation parts, removal of the old stuff, and removal of the packaging on the new stuff. They haven't done any of it.

AHS gave me a great introductory offer but I've noticed that my monthly bill went up. But their claim process was really easy. I love being able to go online and get response right away. They make the appointments right away and I just sit back. We had a couple of faucets leaking and a toilet bowl that was cracked. AHS determined that one of the faucets didn't qualify because it was an outside faucet and it was beyond the foundation. The other faucets, we discussed different ways of repairing it, and we realized that cashing out on that faucet is the better option. With the toilet, we were recommended to cash out on that one which was the wiser choice.

We had an air conditioner issue. We had done some minor things before the tech came, like flush the condensation line and change the air filters. If I set my thermostat to 74, the temperature would get down to 74 for a little while but the unit would never hold it. It just seemed like it would never really cool properly. The tech said he saw an oil leak on the outside unit but unfortunately, everything was still working and he couldn't replace anything that's not broken.
The tech gave some tips. He said, “If you see your temperature’s rising instead of going down, go outside and check your outside unit. If it's not turning, the fan’s not going and you can't audibly hear it working, you have a failure.” I asked him if I had done anything wrong and he said, "No". He checked my ducts the best he could and everything was clean.
32 days later, we get up on Thursday morning and I raised my thermostat to 74. At about 11 o'clock, I was working in one of the bedrooms where it tends to be warmer than other parts of the house. I went and checked the thermostat, and the thermostat was reading 75. I kept watching it, and it just kept getting hotter and hotter. So about 3:00, I went and looked outside and the unit was not turning. So I went up in the attic to check the upstairs unit, and it was humming. I could hear it and there was a green light on it. The inside is working, but outside it’s not. There’s air coming out of my vent, but it’s warm air. I put the request in online to have a technician out and by Thursday night, I had an email. It was an after-hours email that said that they had an appointment for me on a Monday. The tech came on a Friday, replaced the fan motor, and said everything was working. It took about 24 hours for it to get down to normal temperature but it's working fine now. Everything that I've had with American Home Shield has been positive. I've referred my mother-in-law and father-in-law to them. My best friend now has AHS as well.

The plumber came on the 16th, which was Friday, and the work was done very well. I was just under the impression that I could upgrade it if I felt I wanted to and I had that discussion with that initial plumber. But then the company called on Monday saying that they were in the neighborhood and if they could come over and install the faucet. They did that. But I was a little disappointed. I looked the faucet up and I've never heard the name of the manufacturer at all. I usually buy good brand name products that I can trust and I know you get what you pay for.
But then if people got some expensive pieces that they're going to need to get replaced in the next few years, they should do it with American Home Shield. It will be worth it. They should just take into consideration the fact that they would want to know what product was being offered before it was just all they had to do it especially big products like a furnace or a major appliance. This was simply a faucet so it was not quite as important a product as a major appliance. AHS might give a number for what they intend on spending on a replacement on the new product and then see if the consumer wants to upgrade that for whatever the price difference is.

The website was easy. I've been using it before because I put it in right after the one for the water heater that turned out to not be the water heater. Initially, we put it in for the water heater. And when the contractor came out, they said that the expansion tank and relief valve were not covered. They said it was not actually part of the hot water heater. And I was like, "Well, I understand they're on the outside of the water heater, but they're connected to the water heater." When I talked to Plumbing Enterprise, they said that the claim was denied and I would have to pay the $325, on top of the $100 that I've paid to get them out here. That was the first time that it was denied. And American Home Shield said, "Hey, look at your policy." And when I looked at the policy, it was one of those things that wasn't approved. And we had to get it fixed.
Right after that, we noticed a leak. That was when we went online and submitted the claim for the contractor to come out and check to see why that spot was leaking. There was some leakage on our AC unit, right where the pipe comes out of there. I got a message saying that a contractor was assigned. And then I called them and they said, "Okay. We could get somebody out there." They gave me the date. And then I got a text from American Home Shield saying that the person was on their way. And this guy came in, replaced the putty around that, the tube where it was leaking, and then he was gone. I would recommend AHS. I like to equate it to Forex Trading. You're not going to win 100% of the time. That's unrealistic. But if you're in the 90s, then it's still going pretty good.
American Home Shield got recommended by my uncle and I trust him. It's that word of mouth when you're looking at home insurance like this as, “Who are your friends and family recommending?” Because this is our first house. They've been very responsive. If you got something, from the time I put that $100 in there to get the claim, it was quicker than an hour when I would get a notification that a contractor has been assigned. And they've always been able to come in within a reasonable time. That's always a stress reliever. Also, the contractors that have come to the house have always been professional, pleasant and no nonsense. Which is what you want with a brand new house. If it looks like something is wrong, tell me. It doesn't get better with time. And it was a simple thing. The hot water heater should have been on the diamond. And it was a bit above the diamond, so we had to pay for it.

When I turned the air conditioner, it wouldn't come on. I figured the motor was out so I contacted American Home Shield and they referred me to a contractor. Then they came out and found out the circuit breaker had tripped. They turned the circuit breaker on and the air conditioner came right on. It worked fine until about a week later. I went to turn the air conditioner on and it didn't come on again. So I went and checked the circuit breaker and it tripped. As I turned it back on, it tripped again, so I knew there was some type of problem causing it to trip. So I went online and contacted American Home Shield again, then they set me up with the same contractor.
The tech came out and did a few electrical checks and found out that the heater motor, which controlled the vent for the signal for the air conditioner, had burned up, and every time you turn it on, it would trip the circuit breakers. So we replaced the motor for the heater and I haven't had a problem with it since. He fixed it in about 45 minutes and knew exactly what was the problem.
American Home Shield covered the replacement of the motor 100%, but the contractor told me that there are certain things that they will not cover 100%. So whoever buys the service from American Home Shield needs to look the fine print up because although the advertisements show that they will cover everything once you sign up, they don't. Like for the air conditioner, they cover a very small amount of the Freon, and that's very expensive. So anything that's required above that has to come out of the owner's pocket, and American Home Shield won't provide it.
Overall, I definitely recommend American Home Shield because they do save money. I'm paying them $22 a month, but I'm sure the labor and replacement of the motor for my air conditioner would have been around $500. I'm going to have American Home Shield for every home that I have because I'd rather spend a little bit per month than a big, big bill all at once. I'm certainly going to keep it.

I called American Home Shield and made the appointment. They texted me and said that GE was going to give an appointment to come out. GE texted me and gave me a date that they were coming out. The tech took the microwave apart about five times with different parts. He kept trying different things to see if the microwave worked and he had to order something else. Then he came back and fixed it again. It took over a month to get the microwave fixed. A couple days after they fixed it, I went to use the microwave and I noticed that the numbers where it functions was loose.
I tried calling GE but they would not answer. Then I called American Home Shield and the representative said she couldn't get in contact with them. She was supposed to call me back but she didn't call me back when she said, so I called GE back again. That was when the representative was nice enough to set everything back up for me and have the GE people come back out. When the tech came out the other day, he found that there was a piece broken inside of the microwave. So they have to replace another part.

More Than Plumbing came out and investigated the area for my recent claim. It was really one or two things that it could be, it's either a clogged line or it's a broken line. Since the line is technically broken, the sump pump is working overtime. They were nice fellas. They reached out to me beforehand to let me know they were coming, which I appreciated. They seemed like they knew what they were doing. The one fella was training another fella. They said that somebody was going to call me from the insurance and verify if it's covered. Then, they said something about their boss making a final inspection to determine exactly what it is. There was nothing that the fellas could really do because it required one of those video cameras to go in there to see what's going on.
They said I had to talk with American Home Shield. Because we're going to extend our service and I didn't want to mess anything up because I realized this may be a claim on my previous service. But I like American Home Shield. Their services came in handy multiple times for me, with my fridge and a whole bunch of stuff. Their service has always been good and it's always been prompt.

When submitting a claim with AHS, it is better to go online and file it there. It's 10 times faster. There were times where I've tried to call them to do a claim and the person was harder to understand. So I always just go online and do it now. Recently, in our house, on the second floor, we had a drain that got clogged up. And it happened to run through the AC unit. Water was filling up the sink and had spilled on the floor in the bathroom, and was dripping through the top of the ceiling. I was able to get it unstopped so that it would drain properly, but I wanted someone to check that to make sure that it was fine, and just understand where the water was coming from. Because I didn't know the AC was flowing to that sink. We were seeing an issue with cold water on one of our sinks as well. The tech that AHS sent was able to fix that. It turned out that the cold water was turned off there. He flipped it back on and explained that to me.
Then we have some weak water pressure at times when multiple things are running at the same time, like a bath in one room, and then trying to use the sink in another. So I asked him about that as well. He said that's how the house was built as far as the plumbing. So he couldn't do anything about that. I was fine with the service.

Our air conditioner wasn't cooling the upstairs. My wife did the claim to American Home Shield. We've never had a problem with the website. We like it. Home Shield told me who would be coming and approximately what time they would be here. The one who came has been here before and I really like him. He’s a very nice fellow. There was nothing he could do though. It's a two-story house, and the air is coming up there but it's just not cooling. He said it's the same with every house. We've had Home Shield for quite a few years. We started using it when we lived in Maryland. When we moved to Pennsylvania, we renewed it and kept it, so we're very pleased with American Home Shield.

American Home Shield sent someone out to fix my AC, and it was a great experience. But during the freeze here earlier this year, we had some issues with our pool pump. We pay about $100 a month for the warranty and it said our pool equipment was covered. One of the valves had burst. But American Home Shield said it was associated with the freeze, so they didn't want to cover it. We were disappointed about that because if you've had the coverage for the past eight months, that's $800 that we've invested in the warranty and it was somewhat unfair to find a stipulation why not to cover a $150 job. We had to fix the things ourselves. The other thing is that it seems sometimes, the legitimacy of things changes based on the circumstances. It seemed like anything that was brought up weeks or a month after was still being related to the freeze. It's not the way it should be. If you're covered, you're covered.

I’ve had two companies through American Home Shield who had outstanding technicians, and I wish there was some application that you could check if there was a company that was favorable to you or that you like. These guys that came by the other day were knowledgeable. They were truly professional. They explained what they were doing, the remedy and how things happen. If had to do it again, I will prefer them. But when you put the request in, Home Shield sends out who's the next on the block. I understand how they do that but when you got technicians who you got a little rapport with, I think that should be something that should be available. As far as AHS, sometimes, depending on the work level, you get instant feedback. Sometimes, you get it a couple days later.

Submitting claims over the phone takes longer than I would like, but doing it online works. Recently, I told my wife I couldn't figure out the issue with our AC on my own. AC in Florida in the summer is needed and she said, “Better go and get that in.” She did a claim, and the next thing we knew, we got a text and then the appointment was scheduled promptly. It all went smooth. I knew what to expect as well as when to expect the AC company, and they were professional, showed up on time and did the job. Luckily for me, it was just the thermostat on the wall, which was an easy fix. All in all, American Home Shield has improved over the years, and it's working good.

From one day to the next, our thermostat was reporting that it wasn't receiving any power therefore couldn't control the unit. We tried to fix it ourselves by flipping breakers but nothing was working. We had a contractor come out and it turns out the problem was that the fuse on the unit itself had blown. They simply replaced the fuse that was in the unit and everything was working.
I have had American Home Shield on all my properties. For the last two properties I've had, I've probably had to use them inside the first two months of having the home. This time, it was an AC issue. For the property before, it was a plumbing sewage back-up issue. I wouldn't ever buy a house without a home warranty and so far, American Home Shield has backed all of the ones I've had and it's been a good experience.
The claim process is straightforward but I'm not a huge fan of the fact that it's all automated at the outset. Being a homeowner, you're likely going through something stressful because something's broken in your brand-new home. Having to do it through an automated phone system, though it worked and we got to where we needed to go, felt a little crummy and impersonal. Also, I live in a very sort of hot place and since we only got a choice of one contractor, we didn't have the ability to see if anybody was available sooner. It would have been nice to be able to say, "Here's three places that would be covered under your policy. Reach out and find the one that can get there as quickly as you can."

When I submitted a claim for a water leak, I got a response and was even able to schedule the initial visit by the technician on that day. The technician came out this past Monday to look around and get the information to submit to American Home Shield for the approval. My only issue is the fact that I still haven't heard anything back from American Home Shield or the vendor and my situation is still not fixed. That part I'm not too happy about. Everything else has been good but a faster response time, especially when it's something like a water leak that could potentially cost quite a bit of money on the water bill if we don't get it rectified pretty soon, would be good. We're guesstimating about 400 gallons a day that's leaking. Now, we're on day five so that's 2,000 gallons of water that is going to be added to my bill as of this point.
I did have another claim and American Home Shield sent a technician out. But when the technician gave their quote, it was less than the deductible.

AHS usually calls pretty high quality technicians that are good at figuring out what the problems are. That's the number one reason I really stay with the program. I like the people that come out. AHS is timely. They really adapt electronically now, and you can follow the contractors when they send you the message they're on their way, so you know who's coming. That's really nice when you're the only one home. I liked it. AHS is great. The only thing is that they have very expensive annual fees. I don't mind the $75 deductible but every year, it goes up more and more for no additional coverage. I understand the rise in salaries, but it's almost to the point of too much.

I asked AHS to have the locks rekeyed in the house. I sent in the request via the website and then they gave me the name, phone number and address of the contractor. I was told that we’d be contacted by the contractor. The contractor called and gave the information. The tech talked a little about himself, and we set up an appointment. He definitely knew his business. He was very friendly and professional. He was very quick too. We were very comfortable.

T Mayes Plumbing recently came out for my plumbing issue. The tech was professional and fixed the problem. One of the best ones that I’ve seen. He just walked in and knew what he was doing. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was replaced. American Home Shield jumps on it when I submit a claim, but it takes a while. We’ve had heating and air conditioning units over the years, and sometimes can take two weeks for them to get out there. If I say to them, “I can’t wait till next week.” Then, the contractor automatically cancels the appointment, which allows me to go back to American Home Shield and then they’ll assign another one. If you’re looking for a timely response, sometimes you have to go through a second contractor.

We just moved back from overseas, and we rented the house out for two years. And when we got back on Thursday, the downstairs AC was working, but not the upstairs unit. I had to call American Home Shield. I did not have access, for whatever reason, online. The system was not recognizing my email, but that could be because the account was in our manager's name for a while when we were gone. So, I called and I was able to get to someone quickly on the phone. The repairman was very professional and on time. He diagnosed the problem and we needed a new coil. Unfortunately, he had to order a part, but he was able to add coolant so that we could use the AC over the weekend until he could come back on Tuesday. AHS answers the phone, they've taken care of our problems in a timely manner, so overall, it has been a good experience. They are reliable, accountable and efficient.

I have a dishwasher claim and they gave me a gift card for a replacement that they thought was comparable. That was great but for me to get it installed is a different story. It's in backorder. But I was told that was going to be a longer time wait so I understand that. With my air conditioner claim, it needed to be repaired and the contractor, Delta Heating, came out the next business day. They did their job and it worked out just fine. Sometimes, I have to wait to get something done during times when people are all wanting the same thing. But the AC claim was very expedient.

American Home Shield did a good job. The tech was outstanding. He changed the motor on the condenser of my air conditioner and the fan blades. Everything worked like I paid for. The AC has been working well and the house is cool. But I've probably paid AHS more money than my claim would've cost.

The tech did an absolutely wonderful job. He was very kind and easy to understand. He would even go on to explain why he was doing certain things, why it was taking so long, how that was gonna look as well as explaining in general how it was getting paid - six free ones and the other ones we paid for ourselves. It was very helpful to have that initial just change of locks. It was something I didn't even think about until they called.

If something goes wrong, my tenants call me and say, this and this is happening, then I either call American Home Shield or go online. It's been nice that I can just submit a claim and they get somebody going for me. I like that there's a fixed cost too. Recently, there was water leaking. We thought it was from the water heater, but it ended up being from the air conditioning unit. I had to have service with them again to have the AC people come back out. I have had other home warranty companies with some of my other rentals and so far, American Home Shield is the best. I'm pretty happy.

I called in the early evening to submit a claim with AHS. The next day, the tech came out and he repaired it. It was just that quick and easy. I've had good experiences but I had extremely bad experiences as well with AHS. I had a hot water heater that needed to be replaced. The gentleman came out and gave me information that was absolutely incorrect. Wanted to charge me an exorbitant fee for the information that was incorrect and American Home Shield seemed very cavalier about it when I informed them of it. I've had a couple of other people on the same thing. So, the people that they use are not as reputable as I would think they would be. But then again, I had other people as reputable as I could ever want them to be. But I've had more not quite great experiences than I had great experiences.

A claim was put in for service for my AC and a technician was out the next day. He was on time and got the job done within 45 minutes. He checked on the inside and outside. He did an awesome job. American Home Shield has helped save money when things break down by them sending out the agencies that come out. They have been awesome until the recent one that I just had. That was really awful. The technician was very rude and unprofessional. He, additionally, broke my motor to the garage and tried to say that it wasn't working prior to that. On top of that, he sent me a dirty text through an online app and I don't have any friends that talk in that manner.

The agent was very knowledgeable, timely, communicated extremely well and followed up. You don't get that kind of stuff from technical support, just computers and everything. So, it was surprisingly a good experience with him. He truly understands customer service feedback and all those kinds of things. Even outside of AHS, I would recommend this guy to a friend or somebody, to say, "Hey, look. This guy right here is a sharp guy." What I got caught by surprise with was it forces me to go back and look again, to whereas I had to buy so many pounds of Freon, to go in my AC. And that the company will only pay $10 towards it. So, I found that a little bit disappointing. Other than that, everything went okay. The house was cool after almost a week.
Make sure that you ask a lot of questions when you get ready to buy. And to ask a lot of questions on them if you have to file a claim. Because if I had known I had to pay for eight pounds of Freon in there, and it was a policy rider, I would have considered adding it on because it wouldn't have increased the monthly fees for AHS.
If the person that you're working with, to secure coverage is rushing, ask to speak to somebody else who has time to talk and explain everything about the policy that they chose. And then, to recommend. You have your options there. For example, they would say, "How old is your home?" "My home is 20 years old." "Have you had any problems with your AC lately?" "I don't know." "Whatever you asked for any major problems?" "No, I have not." "So, these are the plans." "Well, I choose plan A." "Well, let me have you think about this right here also. You may wanna try plan B, because your home is a certain age and things and you had no problems. Maybe something is going to happen. But it's up to you. But I just thought I would in full disclosure let you know that."
And then vice versa, if you had a new home, “How long you had your home?” “Two years.” “Okay. Well, you can have all these things right here, more than likely a lot of that right there may or may not happen and stuff. So, there's a risk that you have to take. You may want to consider this one here, but the ultimate choice is yours.” Like that when you're doing it. And I know that the agent can't tell you which one to buy, but they sure can explain different things, so that you could make sure that you're getting the coverage that you needed to get.
It makes me now wonder about my coverage. I have a refrigerator that's relatively new. It’s three years old. And same thing for cooktops. But if something were to go wrong with my refrigerator, say it collapsed, the motor went out or the ice machine broke, is it covered? How much is it covered for? What are the exclusions? I have to go back and take a closer look at that, to make sure that I have the entire coverage. I like non-headache. I like people come in, do they have to do and go, even if there's a small deductible with it. Take your deductible. Now fix this and go.

We were having trouble with the ice maker. I called American Home Shield and I was able to get an appointment the same day. the problem was addressed in a timely manner. One issue I had with the home warranty was with vendors following up if you had to order a part or you were waiting for a part. In the past, vendors would be able to order parts. But now, you order the parts for the vendors. It would be helpful to understand the process.

The light on the ceiling fan flashes on and off and we've had the electrician out six times looking at it. He kept telling us it was the light bulb and we kept changing the light bulb. Then, he said the remote was not good. At that point, it was just like whatever. Then, I had them come out and look at the other fans because they make so much noise and they said that there's not much they can do about it. Today, my husband told me the fan only spins one way and he said he doesn't know if he wanna spend a $75 deductible for the electrician to tell him that there's nothing wrong with the fan.
Other than that, every time I've called, AHS has pretty much fixed the issue. My oven went out that they sent an oven guy out for and he said the oven was fine. It ended up being the electrical outlet went bad and they fixed that. Then, we had a leak under the floor and they found out that it was the caulking in the tub. Water was going in there, coming out, and getting under the floorboard. It needed to be recaulked. They cut a hole in the wall and they patched it, but they didn't paint it or anything. Also, we had Orr HVAC come out for the AC and they're really great. We're waiting for a part but they got the unit working.
